The Valley City Area Retired Teachers will meet :

Monday, May 21, 2012

@ Noon at Sabirs, Valley City

with a Memorial Service  as the Program.

From May 21 to June 3 the North Dakota Department of Transportation and all law enforcement agencies will work together to reduce the number of highway fatalities and injuries due to non-seat belt use.

In 2011, one unbuckled occupant died every five days in North Dakota and 66 percent of individuals killed in motor vehicle crashes were not wearing their seat belt. Remember it takes 3 seconds to buckle a seat belt and it can save your life.

Officers will not give warnings, they’ll ticket anyone not buckled up. A seat belt ticket in North Dakota is $20 while one in Minnesota is $125 dollars.

Since Great Lakes Airlines took over for Delta in March as air service provider in Jamestown, boardings have drastically decreased, including less than 200 boardings in April. Boardings had reached a record high of almost 800 boardings in February before the changeover.

Jamestown has two flights to Minneapolis and one to Williston each day.

Airport Authority chairman Jim Boyd says the main issue leading to decreased boardings is non-competitive fairs since the changeover. The meeting in Washington would include North Dakota’s U.S. congressmen, and representatives from both Delta and Great Lakes.

Delta and Great Lakes have a connecting agreement where passengers can book flights through Delta and transfer to Delta planes in Minneapolis, but those ticket prices are often more expensive than booking separate flights through Great Lakes and a different carrier flying out of Minneapolis.

About 115 students took part in the event. Students participating in the class have learned how to respond and take care of themselves and others in the event of a disaster.

Thursday morning students used fire extinguishers to put out small fires, and responded to a mock bus crash in the Jamestown High School parking lot.

This is the second year that the high school and Stutsman County Emergency Management have teamed up to offer the class, which teaches students on emergency preparedness, fire safety, medical triage, disaster medical, search and rescue, disaster psychology, school safety and terrorism.
