Daniel “Josh” Howard Johnshoy – OBIT

Daniel “Josh” Howard Johnshoy, 72, of Crookston, MN, passed away at his home early Friday evening, April 5, 2024, with his loving family at his side. Josh had a stroke 13 years ago but together with his wife, Lori, and their daughter, Jennifer, they had all bravely dealt with the triumphs, and sometimes the setbacks.

Born on October 31, 1951 in Minneapolis, MN; Josh was the son of The Rev. Edward and Naomi (Larson) Johnshoy. He grew up in Climax, MN where he attended Climax Elementary and High School. The family later moved to Bloomington, MN where Pastor Johnshoy had accepted a call to a serve a Church. Josh finished out his Senior year of High School in Bloomington graduating with the Class of 1969. He returned to the Crookston area and worked as a private contractor at American Crystal Sugar insulating the Plant’s boilers. Josh later worked on a pipeline that was being installed between Crookston and the nearby campus of the University of Minnesota-Crookston. On August 16, 1980 he married the love of his life, Lori Jean Smith, in a ceremony held at Crookston’s Covenant Church. Josh and Lori made their first home in Crookston and 2 years later moved to Mentor, MN. Josh began commuting to work in North Dakota, returning to Lori every weekend. The couple was blessed with their daughter, Jennifer in 1985.  In 1989 the family moved back to Crookston. Josh worked as a self-employed floor covering installer doing carpeting, linoleum, and tiling throughout the area. For over 18 years he truly enjoyed driving a beet truck for Mike and Ernie Reitmeier every fall during the harvest.

Josh was as avid a fisherman as God ever put on this earth. He dropped a line in every lake for a large radius around Crookston, and he, Lori, and Jennifer enjoyed extended fishing trips every year to beautiful Rushing River Provincial Park near Kenora, Ontario, Canada. His success in landing the “big ones” earned him several Master Angler Awards from the Province of Manitoba. He was also into buying and restoring old fishing boats, with a Crestliner he brought back to pristine condition being his pride and joy. 

Josh is survived by Lori, his soul-mate for over 43 years; their daughter, Jennifer, and her partner, Jon Qualley, of Crookston, and their family, Jameson and Ella Jo Qualley; brother and sister-in-law, Steve and Linda Johnshoy of Moorhead, MN; sister, Mary Johnshoy of the Benedictine Living Community Crookston; and nephew, Matthew Johnshoy of Alexandria, VA. From Lori’s side of the family he leaves several brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law: Janice and Ken Michalicek of Blackduck, MN, Nancy and Jerry Rude of Tacoma, WA, Vickie and Shane Campbell of Peoria, AZ, and Ron and Bev Smith of Tacoma, WA; together with many nieces and nephews, extended family, and friends. Josh is preceded in death by his parents, Edward and Naomi Johnshoy; grandparents, Albin and Olga Larson; and parents-in-law, Dan and Bea Smith.

Treasured be the memory of Daniel “Josh” Howard Johnshoy to all who were a part of his life.

Josh’s life will be celebrated by his family with a private Memorial Service. Messages may be offered on his obituary page at www.stenshoelhouske.com.

NORTHLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE RECOGNIZES FIVE NISOD EXCELLENCE AWARD RECIPIENTS

Northland Community & Technical College is proud to announce that five faculty and staff members have been named recipients of the 2024 National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD) Excellence Awards. The distinguished awardees are Lisa Bottem, who serves as the Financial Aid Director; Caleb Curfman, a History Instructor; Andrea Moses, an Advisor; Mei Sather, a Nursing Instructor; and Joel Ziegler, a Welding Instructor.

NISOD Excellence Awards recognize academic leaders who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment and contribution to their students and colleagues. NISOD’s International Conference on Teaching and Leadership Excellence is the definitive gathering of community and technical college educators passionate about teaching and learning. 

Since 1989, NISOD’s annual conference has provided faculty, administrators, and staff with the resources, ideas, and solutions that drive excellence in all areas of community and technical college campuses.

 

Lisa Bottem, Financial Aid Director

“I feel truly honored to have been nominated and selected as a recipient of this award,” said Bottem. “It is humbling to know that your colleagues recognize and appreciate your work and commitment to the college and the greater community. I am also blessed to have worked with wonderful people over the years.”

Lisa Bottem

Caleb Curfman, History Instructor

“I am honored to be recognized by a fantastic group of colleagues at Northland,” said Curfman. “I have the opportunity to work with amazing students, and I strive to provide them with the best learning experience and environment that I can. In the classes I teach, I work to provide a place where students have agency in their learning, and this motivates me to innovate and improve continuously.”

Caleb Curfman

Andrea Moses, Advisor

“I take pride in developing and fostering relationships and bonds with each student individually,” Moses said. “This award not only recognizes me individually, but it also recognizes that it takes many people to take a student through the entire process from starting or continuing their education through the culmination of earning their degree.”

Andrea Moses

Mei Sather, Nursing Instructor

“This award not only reflects my continuous efforts for high-quality education, but it’s also a testament to the collective dedication of the entire nursing community,” Sather said. “Whether advocating for healthcare equity, championing patient-centered care, or advancing nursing science through research, I’m convinced that our collective efforts can improve lives and shape a better future for all.”

Mei Sather

Joel Ziegler, Welding Instructor

“It was unexpected and an honor to know that they think I deserve this award,” said Ziegler. “I just focus on my students and try to get them prepared to enter the workforce. Recognition is the furthest thing from my mind when doing that.”

Joel Ziegler

Excellence Award recipients will be recognized during NISOD’s annual conference, May 25-28, 2024, in Austin, Texas. Excellence Awards recipients receive a specially cast, pewter medallion hung on a burnt-orange ribbon. All Excellence Award recipients’ names, titles, and colleges are included in a special booklet featuring congratulatory ads from many recipients’ colleges. In addition, presentations at the conference involving Excellence Award recipients are indicated in the Conference Program with a special icon.

About NISOD

The National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD) is a membership organization committed to promoting and celebrating excellence in teaching, learning, and leadership at community and technical colleges.

NEW THERAPY HELPS RIVERVIEW PEDIATRIC PATIENTS UNDERSTAND BODY SIGNALS

While experts debate just how many senses a human has, most people know the primary five: Sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. At RiverView Health, members of the Occupational Therapy Team now offer pediatric therapy for a lesser-known, but just as important sense, interoception.

Interoception is the sense that helps you understand and feel what’s going on inside your body as receptors inside your organs send that information to your brain. For example, you may feel hunger pains and a dry mouth when you are thirsty.

However, the brain may have trouble making sense of that critical information for children with sensory processing issues, leading to problems with activities like toilet training because the child doesn’t understand when their bladder is full. A child lacking interoception may not know when they are hot or cold, in pain, or about to vomit.

Lack of interoception sense may also cause a child to act out in aggression, cry or scream uncontrollably, or show other signs of sensory dysregulation because they are confused by the body’s signals and don’t understand what to do to make themselves comfortable.

RiverView Services

Maddie Engelstad, MOTR/L, Stacy Spray, OTD, OTR/L, and Marrisa Jevne, COTA, are specially trained in the interoception curriculum and began offering the new therapy to pediatric patients at RiverView in the fall of 2023.”

“The primary issues or deficits I see in patients who benefit from interoception skill building are those who are having a hard time connecting their brain and body," shared Engelstad” “Usually, I see this in patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD/ADD, Sensory Processing Disorder, or any child that has difficulty with emotional regulation. The other population that has seen this benefit is patients with bladder and bowel management difficulties and learning to understand feelings of urgency and pressure. Those internal signs don’t always make sense, or we may forget about being busy playing and learning”.”

Suppose interoception therapy is determined appropriate for the patient after an evaluation, caregiver input, and clinical observations. In that case, the therapists conduct” “experiments” about each part of the body, shared Spray, including outside (hands/fingers, feet/toes, mouth, eyes, ears, nose, voice, cheeks, skin) and inside (muscles, lungs, heart, brain/head, stomach, bladder) the body. An example Spray shared for the mouth is having the child suck on an ice cube for 5 seconds, then describe how that made their mouth feel. The child can pick from a list of words or create their own if they like.”

“The children I have seen who have shown improvement with their interoception skills are identifying how their body is feeling more independently and recognizing what the feeling means for the “Spray reported” “For example, a child may notice their heart is going faster than normal and recognize that this is because they are excited or anxious. They are then able to determine an appropriate action to take to assist with regulating their heart rate. The goal is for the child to make these connections with increased independence; it’s so fun to see when they are in therapy sessions and making the connections with decreased assistance over time. It’s even more exciting when the parents come to therapy sessions with comments, such as he told me yesterday that he needed a drink of water because he noticed his mouth was feeling dry, demonstrating the interoception curriculum is carrying over into daily life situations.”

Engelstad said the curriculum is excellent for patients as young as 4-5 years of age and up to 12 and 13 years old” “They start to understand why their body feels a certain way and how that relates to their emotion,” Engelstad stated” “The experiments bring to light sensations that they have felt, but didn’t know what those sensations meant weren’t able to relate the sensation to a particular emotion.”

Jevne also reported that through the therapy, she had seen significant improvements in the children’s ability to identify their body signals to help them recognize their emotions. Implementing Interoception Curriculum at Every Level

While Engelstad said she started offering the therapy in October of 2023, she's found it helpful in other therapies she provides and has integrated it into all of her patient sessions, where directly focusing on interoception skills or other therapies that focus on self-regulation, coping skills, and frustration tolerance building.

You can do many activities with children to help increase their interoception skills, including asking them questions about how they are feeling and discussing those feelings or reading the children’s books on topics like emotions, toilet training, and problem-solving.

If you have concerns about your child’s development, talk to their primary care provider or calRiverView’s Rehab Services Department at 281.9463 for more information on interoception therapy. The Rehab Services Team also offers free developmental screenings if you have concerns about your child’s development.
