Jones County to host ribbon cutting on new EMS building
JONES COUNTY, N.C. (WNCT) — Trenton in Jones County will be getting a new emergency medical services building this week.
The USDA Rural Development State Director, Robert Hosford, will be at the ribbon cutting ceremony for Jones County's new emergency medical services on Thursday, May 29, to help celebrate the milestone. Rural Development helped construct the 3,480 square foot building by investing $1 million through a USDA Emergency Rural Healthcare Grant.
The grant helped construct the new building as well as renovate the county's emergency operations center. The new EMS building will include two ambulance bays, bedrooms, offices, bathrooms, decontamination rooms, storage areas, kitchen and day room.
The USDA Emergency Rural Healthcare Grant exists to help rural communities access health care in a long-term, sustainable way.

Marion County first responders get proactive on manpower shortage
GRANT TOWN — A manpower crisis looms for first responders like those in Grant Town. So Grant Town first responders created a Junior First Responders Academy to get ahead of it. 'Most places don't get young people anymore,' Gauge Miller, Grant Town fire chief, said. 'It's guys that have been doing it 20, 30, 40, 50, some even 60 years. If we don't get young people into the service, then eventually we're not going to have that service if there's nobody new coming in.' Grant Town EMS launched its Junior First Responder Academy three years ago. The academy invites students going into seventh grade through high school to a week where students can experience what it's like to work as fire, police or ambulance worker. This year, the academy expanded its police offerings. The Marion County Sheriff's office provided staff and equipment to make the police component possible. The academy will take place June 23 through June 28. Miller said the academy doesn't just serve Grant Town, but is for all first responders statewide. Miller said all students get first aid and CPR certified before ending the program. For the firefighter portion, Miller said students will get to use a firehose on different props they'll have set up, as well as demonstrations showing how the fire department cuts a car apart to rescue the motorist trapped inside. Miller said the best time to recruit anybody for a service is when they're young. Amanda Stover, Grant Town EMS Assistant, said recruiting for EMS is really, really hard. Mon County just cut their program for EMS and fire, Stover said, and other areas don't have programs that expose students to EMS. 'It makes it really hard for us to show kids what the day-to-day operations are,' Stover said. 'I think we also struggle in little bit in that we don't get paid as much as most other health care professionals, and so kids don't see this as an option.' Stover hopes the Academy can make up for some of that. She said her portion of the Academy teaches students back boarding and how to treat a patient when they come out of a car. Students are also taught how to work with the fire department on a rescue, and how to handle psychiatric emergencies. Stover said students learn different scenarios, and then go out and practice them. She said kids seem to enjoy the practical exercise. The academy at least helps address some of those deficiencies in exposure. 'A lot of times, people don't realize what being a police officer is or what it entails,' Grant Town Police Chief Russell Miller said. 'The whole process can be intimidating, and sometimes there's negative press just like there's good press and if somebody's not exposed to it, maybe that interest never gets sparked. Maybe they never get the opportunity to test it, try it, see if it's their thing. This gives somebody the opportunity to be like, 'wow, I really enjoyed that. This might be a career opportunity.'' Miller thanked the Marion County Sheriff's Department for helping put on the event. He said they're doing demonstrations with the K-9 for the students, as well as tours of the courthouse. Stover said the lack of funding and lack of staffing has caused EMS agencies to close around the state. Gauge Miller said when rural agencies close, response times for residents who live in isolated parts of the state increases as bigger agencies struggle to fill the demand smaller agencies once managed. Russell Miller said when he began his career a few decades ago, there would be hundreds of applicants for a spot on a police department. Now, departments struggle with getting enough people to take a PT test. Gauge Miller made the observation that volunteering isn't something that is emphasized among younger generations anymore. Young people are taught to expect reimbursement for anything they do. For volunteer fire departments, that is highly damaging, since not only is any reimbursement intangible in the form of gratitude, but also because reimbursement isn't why someone gets into public service. It's done out of a sense of duty. Fire, EMS and police are vital services on which society relies. Russell Miller said it takes a special person who wants to serve and not just punch a clock. Stover said the focus in schools on obtaining high paying jobs and the flight of young people out of the state is draining the potential labor pool for first responders. She put it bluntly if those jobs aren't filled. 'We also still need people to stay here and do these jobs,' Stover said. 'Without these jobs, people would die.'

Town hall tour centers on agriculture in Mitchell visit
Jun. 12—MITCHELL — On Wednesday evening, Dakota Wesleyan University hosted a town hall that brought together fewer than 50 local farmers and community members for a focused conversation on the challenges facing South Dakota's agriculture sector. The event was part of a statewide series organized by Nikki Gronli, former USDA Rural Development state director and former vice chairperson of the South Dakota Democratic Party, and Julian Beaudion, a Democratic Party candidate for U.S. Senate, aimed at giving South Dakotans a platform to share their concerns. Previous town halls in Rapid City, Aberdeen, Vermillion, and Sioux Falls attracted larger crowds and allowed participants to raise a wide range of issues, including cuts to Medicaid, the Department of Education, and the impact of trade tariffs. For the Mitchell meeting, however, organizers decided to narrow the discussion to focus solely on agriculture, a vital part of South Dakota's economy and culture. "We decided to switch things up for this town hall," said Gronli. "Instead of letting people bring up any topic like before, we wanted to try focusing on just one issue and see what the response would be." Joining Gronli and Beaudion on the panel were Marcia Bunger, a farmer and former administrator at the USDA's Risk Management Agency under President Joe Biden, and Al Merrill, a third-generation farmer from Parker. The discussion covered key agricultural concerns including economic pressures, federal policies, labor shortages, and funding for research and innovation. Bunger opened by outlining the tough financial outlook for farmers this year. According to Bunger, corn prices have fallen below $4 per bushel and soybeans are under $10, while costs for seeds, fertilizer, and equipment remain high. Many farmers face losses ranging from $50 to $100 per acre on corn, with even greater losses on soybeans. "Farmers are not going to make any money this year," Bunger said bluntly. This economic pressure was not new, she said, recalling the 2017 trade war with China that sent corn prices tumbling below $3 per bushel. "Tariffs get placed on the backs of farmers every time there's political tension," she said. Labor shortages were also a key topic, especially regarding the reliance on immigrant workers for harvesting fruits, vegetables, and dairy production. Bunger described how immigration enforcement actions have disrupted farming communities. "When ICE shows up and just drags people away, it hurts the farms, and it hurts families," Bunger said. Merrill added that many immigrant workers are eager to work and are essential to the farm economy. Beaudion emphasized the interconnectedness of these issues. He pointed out that South Dakota farmers export nearly a billion dollars in products through West Coast ports, which also rely on immigrant labor. The panelists agreed that immigration is both a human and economic issue that requires bipartisan attention. One audience member suggested reviewing immigration policy every five years to adjust to changing needs. The group then turned to federal policy, focusing on the farm bill — a comprehensive piece of legislation that governs agricultural and food programs nationwide, typically renewed every five years. Since the 2018 farm bill has been extended twice, its uncertain future is causing concern among farmers. Gronli noted that some parts of the bill may be folded into a reconciliation act with a 2031 deadline, potentially creating confusion and overlap. Broader federal budget cuts also sparked discussion, including reductions to SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits and local food programs. Beaudion explained that a 10% cut to SNAP could increase monthly food expenses for South Dakota families by approximately $267. Joel Allen, director of the McGovern Center at DWU, raised questions about the McGovern-Dole Food for Education program, the largest school-based feeding initiative globally, which faces funding uncertainties. Gronli confirmed that many food assistance programs have seen reductions. "These cuts affect the children of the next generation," Beaudion said. Merrill suggested that farmers would likely support a universal school lunch program to help children and strengthen communities. Another concern raised was the potential loss of USDA staff, with up to 25% of the workforce expected to leave by September. Gronli warned this could mean a significant loss of institutional knowledge in rural areas. "That's institutional knowledge walking out the door, and many of these federal workers hold some of the best jobs in small rural communities," she said. Industry concentration in meat processing also came under scrutiny. Frank Kloucek, a farmer and former state legislator from Scotland, highlighted the growing foreign ownership of major companies like Smithfield and Tyson. He advocated for restoring country of origin labeling (COOL), which requires meat products to be labeled with their country of origin, helping consumers make informed choices and supporting local producers. Kloucek also called for stronger enforcement of the Packers and Stockyards Act, a law designed to promote fair competition and protect farmers from unfair practices in livestock and meat markets. Bunger shared an example from the poultry industry, where farmers who invested heavily in building barns lost contracts and insurance coverage after avian flu outbreaks forced companies to remove birds. Because the farmers did not own the birds, they faced substantial debt without compensation. "That sent shivers down my spine thinking about what could happen to our pork producers," she said. The panel also emphasized the importance of agricultural research and disease prevention. Merrill stressed ongoing investment in protecting livestock from diseases like avian flu and foot-and-mouth disease is essential to safeguarding the food supply. Kloucek lamented that short-term budget cuts threaten long-term research projects. "If you're not in it for decades, you're not really in it," he said. As the evening concluded, Beaudion encouraged attendees to stay engaged and communicate with elected officials. "Don't talk about nonsense. Talk about the things that matter to South Dakotans," he said.

Fire, EMS crews honored for saving fellow first responder
WINDBER, Pa. – Longtime firefighter Bryon 'Lou' Fleck has dedicated his life to saving lives. But as the Northern Regional volunteer fireman arrived on scene for a Central City house fire Feb. 18, Fleck said he never imagined his own life was at risk. Moments after using his radio to alert fellow crews that the home was fully involved in flames, Fleck fell to his knees while a fellow firefighter was working to attach a 5-inch water line. 'Everything just went black,' said Fleck. Fortunately for Fleck, a team of first responders stepped in that frigid morning. Colleagues from two fire departments and Conemaugh Township EMS were recognized as heroes Wednesday – by Fleck and Southern Alleghenies EMS Council Executive Director Jordan Anthony. Anthony credited the group's 'swift, skilled and selfless actions' for reviving Fleck that day. 'You didn't just respond to a call; you answered the call of duty in the most personal way possible, by fighting to save a fellow firefighter – a colleague, a brother,' Anthony said. The CPR Save Award was presented to eight responders Wednesday. Six of them were in attendance and greeted with a handshake from Fleck at Northern Regional Fire Department. The list included Central City firefighter Nick Muha – who performed CPR on Fleck moments after he fell – Northern Regional Chief Mike Horvath, Northern Regional Assistant Bob Statler, Lt. Devon Newcomer and firefighter Martin Washko, as well as Conemaugh Township EMS staff Aiden St Claire, Jake Berkey and Tuker Tirko. 'I never expected I'd go through anything like this,' Fleck said. 'I appreciate everybody who worked on me.' Central City Fire Department and nearby assisting departments were dispatched to the Lohr Street residence at approximately 1 a.m. – and already had to deal with sub-zero temperatures when Fleck collapsed. The fire claimed the home's occupant, and crews spent eight hours battling the fire. Muha said Fleck went into cardiac arrest and had no pulse. Two bystanders helped Muha pull Fleck onto a flat area. Muha said he grabbed shears from his gear and began removing layers of Fleck's clothes to render aid. He performed CPR until Conemaugh Township EMS responders, including Berkey and Tirko, arrived and loaded Fleck into an ambulance to continue treatment. According to Fleck, he was revived after the first time the team used their defibrillator. 'They saved my life,' he said. 'They were in the right place at the right time – and it was meant to be them.' They also had the 'right training,' Jordan and Conemaugh Township EMS manager Terry Ruparcic said. Ruparcic noted that first responders receive annual training to respond to cardiac events, plus other ongoing life-saving training. He credited two bystanders that day – who responders have yet to identify – for assisting at the scene. He also urged members of the public to receive CPR training for sudden emergencies. The next time someone goes into cardiac arrest, it may be a friend or family member, he said. 'Quick actions ... save lives,' he said. Fleck knows that better than most. 'It could be anybody,' he said. David Hurst is a reporter for The Tribune-Democrat. Follow him on Twitter and Instagram @TDDavidHurst.
