Valley City (CSi) Barnes County Emergency Manager, Sue Lloyd is informing resident of the being implemented, county wide change of address plans.
Her statement in the letter to be mailed to residences soon, states:
“Over the past decade, 911 has become a more technical system through the implementation of GIS (Global Information System) and GPS (Global Positioning System) mapping programs, and Phase II Wireless 911. More specifically, Barnes County 911 has installed the Bulberry Mapping System which uses GIS technology, and the new Phase II wireless 911 technology. In a January 19th, 2016 County Commission meeting, The Barnes County Commission agreed to go ahead with the readdressing project because of the need for each residence and commercial property to be properly addressed in order for the correct address information to be available through this new technology.
In the past, numerous residences and commercial properties in the Valley City/Barnes County area have been incorrectly addressed and until now, it was not a problem of great concern. However, with the new technology, each address must comply with the grid organization of the county. If a residence or commercial property is misaddressed, the system will not recognize the location on the map. This could cause critical delays in the dispatch and response times of emergency personnel to the call/emergency. It is essential for the continued service of Barnes County 911 to have updated addresses for the county residences and commercial properties.
With the correct address in place, we will have a faster, more accurate route to an emergency at every location in the county.
We understand that this is going to be an inconvenience to many and want to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause; however, it is in the best interest of all residents of the Barnes County 911 area to have the entire county addressed correctly to prevent possibly life threatening delays in access by emergency personnel. I have included the new address that has been assigned to your property. We will notify your respective post office of the new address generated for your property however, you will also need to complete a change of address request at your local post office.
Along with the change of address form you submit to the post office, I also ask that you display your address on your driveway, property or access point to your property. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me at the number below.”
New address:
Sincerely,
Sue Lloyd
Barnes County Emergency Manager/911 Coordinator

(CSi) Earlier this year, the U.S. World War One Centennial Commission, the Society of the Honor Guard, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and Washington National Cathedral announced the national “Bells of Peace” campaign.
The “Bells of Peace” campaign calls for a national bell tolling across the country at 11 a.m. Nov. 11, to mark the centennial of the end of World War I.
Now, Bells of Peace has a smartphone app to help groups or individuals who want to participate – especially those who do not have access to bells. The new app is free, and is available for either Apple or Android platforms. Search for “Bells of Peace” in either app store or go to ww1cc.org/app for links.
The Bells of Peace app has a number of helpful features for those leading a group commemoration event, or for those who want to mark a moment of contemplation.
The app includes a built-in countdown timer, a variety of different bell sounds, links to World War I websites, and the ability for people to post photos from their local or personal commemoration.
The Bells of Peace app offers people an opportunity to join in a simultaneous tolling, from all the phones running the app. As the built-in countdown timer reaches 11 a.m. local time, bells will toll from every device, together, 21 times, in a remembrance of the moment, exactly 100 years ago, when the war finally ceased.
(CSi) In commemoration of the end of WW1, on November 11 at 11-a.m., on the steps of the 1883 Stutsman County Courthouse, Veterans Service Officer, David Bratton will read the names of Stutsman County military personnel who made the ultimate sacrifice during WWI.

Annika explained that she and her husband had encountered enormous debt, of $97,000 and the experience led her to publish the book “Twenty Three and Debt Free: 50 Practical Tips to Set You Financially Free.”
Twenty three was her age when she started her journey to become debt free, which she did, by following a budget and plan to pay off debtors.
From making a budget that works for you to cutting costs for your family and paying off debt, this event will equip you with the tools to live life financially free.
With money touching so many points in our lives, Annika is especially passionate about educating people about budgeting, cutting costs, college planning, and avoiding consumer debt. Age and income status don’t matter here. She said that everyone needs the tools to take control of their own finances and achieve financial freedom.
Police say the search warrant involved agents from multiple jurisdictions, and the investigation leading to the search warrant is still active. No other details were released.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A fall survey indicates the mule deer population in the western North Dakota Badlands continued its rebound this year, though doe hunting remained off-limits in one northwestern unit for a seventh straight year as the gun season began Friday.
The aerial survey by the Game and Fish Department counted 2,446 mule deer. That was down only slightly from last year, and fawn reproduction was up. The fawn-to-doe ratio of 84 fawns per 100 does was up from 76 per 100 in 2017, and only slightly lower than the long-term average of 89 per 100.
Fawn production has been improving since 2013, following a record low after a string of three straight harsh winters ending in 2011, according to big game biologist Bruce Stillings.
“This is encouraging news for continued growth of mule deer in the Badlands,” he said.
Hunting of mule deer females was banned four straight seasons beginning in 2012, to help the population recover following the tough winters. Game and Fish in 2016 lifted the restriction in five of eight hunting units, and last year doe hunting was allowed in all but one unit, 4A in the Watford City area.
That restriction remains in place for this year’s season. State Wildlife Chief Jeb Williams said there are likely several reasons for the slower mule deer recovery in that area.
In world and national news…
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — A law enforcement official says the gunman who killed 12 people at a Southern California bar posted to social media during the attack.
The official told The Associated Press that Ian David Long had Facebook and Instagram accounts and that he posted about his mental state and whether people would believe he was sane.
Authorities haven’t determined a motive. The official said investigators are looking at possibilities including whether the gunman believed his former girlfriend would be at the bar.
The official was briefed on the investigation into Wednesday’s night shooting but wasn’t authorized to discuss it publicly and spoke to the AP only on condition of anonymity.
Long shot and killed 12 people, including a police sergeant, at the Borderline Bar and Grill, a country music bar in suburban Los Angeles. Authorities believe he killed himself.
PARADISE, Calif. (AP) — A Northern California sheriff says authorities are trying to confirm reports that more than five people died when a wildfire devastated the town of Paradise.
Five people were found dead in vehicles Friday but Butte County Sheriff Korey Honea told television stations KHSL/KNVN in Chico that additional reports of deaths are being investigated.
Honea said flames and downed power lines in Paradise are preventing deputies from reaching some areas.
The five victims were found in vehicles in the same area of the town, where residents described traffic jams and panic as they tried to escape flames on Thursday.
Thousands of buildings were destroyed in Paradise, about 180 miles (289 kilometers) northeast of San Francisco.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a legal challenge to President Donald Trump’s order denying asylum to migrants if they cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally.
The lawsuit was filed Friday in federal court in San Francisco and argues the new rules are against the law. Attorney Lee Gelernt says the regulations will put families in danger.
The suit seeks to declare the regulations invalid and want a judge to stop rules from going into effect while the litigation is pending.
The new rules were spurred in part by caravans of Central American migrants slowly moving north on foot, but officials say they will apply to anyone caught crossing illegally. Officials say about 70,000 people who enter the country illegally claim asylum.
The order invoked the same national security powers Trump used to push through his travel ban.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he expects President Donald Trump to nominate a new attorney general “pretty quickly” after Trump fired Jeff Sessions earlier this week.
Speaking in Kentucky on Friday, McConnell said he expects acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker to be “a very interim” attorney general.
Democrats have criticized Whitaker for comments he has made in the past that were critical of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation and have called for legislation to protect Mueller. McConnell said that’s not needed because the probe will be allowed to finish.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer on Friday sent a letter to Trump questioning the legality of Whitaker’s appointment, since he was not confirmed by the Senate.
PHOENIX (AP) — A judge in Phoenix is set to hear a lawsuit filed by Republican groups seeking to limit the counting of some ballots in urban areas that could swing the results of a key U.S. Senate race.
The Republicans say they would also be happy if the judge ordered every county to try to count those problematic ballots, which some currently don’t do.
Friday’s hearing comes after Democrat Kyrsten Sinema grabbed a slim lead over Republican Martha McSally for the first time since Election Day. More than 400,000 ballots still need to be counted statewide.
Only a few thousand votes would be affected by the suit. Every one of them could be precious to Sinema or McSally in the razor-close race.
