Valley City (VCSU) A COVID-19 vaccination clinic will take place:
On Monday April 19
10:30-a.m. to 11:30-a.m.
At Barnes County North School
Pfizer Vaccine
CCHD Administrator Theresa Will says, those who have registered to receive the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, will instead receive the Moderna Vaccine. Moderna is a two dose vaccine, and you will have to register for the second dose.
Appointments are REQUIRED and can be made at https://www.ndvax.org//reg/0146051292 (link will not open in Internet Explorer).
City-County Health District now has COVID-19 vaccines available for all Barnes County residents over the age of 16.
Administrator Theresa Will said if you are 16 or older you may receive the Pfizer vaccine. She said for those 18 and older, the Moderna is a viable option.
CCHD held a covid vaccine clinic at Valley City Public Schools in the Hi-Liner Activity Center giving 60 doses. They have more Pfizer vaccine and want to hold another clinic for high school students as soon as possible.
To sign up for a covid vaccination simply go to the CCHD website at www.citycountyhealth.org to register. If you do not have a computer call 845-8518 Monday-Friday. The vaccine is totally free. City County Health will come to you if you have 5 or more individuals who want the vaccine. Simply call CCHD at 845-8518 to schedule the date and time.
She adds, that “The Johnson & Johnson vaccine has been put on ‘pause’ temporarily by the CDC and the North Dakota Department of Health, to investigate an occurrence of one in a million events of a blood clot.”
“The sooner that we can get everyone over the age of 16 vaccinated the sooner we will be able to get back to our normal lives,” emphasizes Dr. James Buhr, the county medical officer. Buhr continues, “COVID-19 is a new virus that requires a new vaccine, but the vaccines that are now available are based on decades of scientific research. I was in one of the vaccine company’s test group and felt completely safe.”
From now until when 80% of the population has been vaccinated the CDC identifies that everyone should continue to take precautions—like wearing a mask in public, staying 6 feet apart from others, and avoiding crowd and poorly ventilated public spaces—until we know more. Presently Barnes County has 41.3% that are fully Covid vaccinated, with 34.2% vaccinated in the state of North Dakota.
Testing continues to be important. Every Monday and Friday the CCHD will be at The W.E. Osmon (VCSU) Fieldhouse from 1pm to 2pm testing. If you have any symptoms, it is important to be tested. If you have symptoms and need to be tested at other times contact your clinic.
For more information on COVID-19 call CCHD at 845-8518 or go to their website at www.citycountyhealth.org.
Valley City (CCHD) City/County Health reports, that testing continues to be important. Every Monday and Friday the CCHD will be at The W.E. Osmon (VCSU) Fieldhouse from 1pm to 2pm testing.

Monday April 19
1-pm., to 3-p.m.
Jamestown Civic Center, Exchequor Room
Review the due date on the back of your CDC COVID vaccination record card prior to registering.
* 2nd dose clinics ONLY. If you register as a first dose, your appointment will be canceled.
Appointments are required and are first come, first serve. Once the clinics are full, they will be closed for registration.

Jamestown (CVHD) Central Valley Health District will have COVID-19 Testing at the Jamestown Civic Center from 11-a.m. to 12 noon April, 19, 21, 23, 26,28, 30, using the Rapid Testing, BinaxNow.
By screening with rapid antigen tests, event attendees will be able to receive their test results within 15 minutes via text notification. The test also is less invasive than a PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) test in that it uses a nasal swab to collect a sample from the lower part of the nostril.
If a person tests positive, they should isolate at home immediately and a case investigator will be in touch with them within 24 hours. If the screening yields a negative result, individuals should continue to monitor for symptoms.
Interested individuals should fill out an online survey at testreg.nd.gov for faster registration.

Bismarck (CSi) District 24 Republicans passed a resolution to censure Representative Dwight Kiefert during a meeting on April 17.
According to the resolution, Representative Kiefert’s vote to remove and expel fellow legislator Representative Luke Simons earlier this year without due process goes against established legislative rules, the North Dakota Republican Platform, the constitution of North Dakota, and the constitution of the United States.
Kiefert said he voted for an investigation, but that amendment failed.
Kiefert has indicated he plans to run for re-election.
Jamestown (JSDC) The Jamestown/Stutsman Development Corporation (JSDC) Board has established the “Pathway to Success,” and approved funding for the Buffalo City Park for $600,000, to be divided 80 percent City of Jamestown, and 20 percent Stutsman County funding, the next steps in funding.
The Jamestown City Council, and Stutsman County Commission will vote on their JSDC requests.
JSDC, CEO, Connie Ova has stated to the Board, “The North Dakota state legislature has moved forward with a proposed appropriation of a $5 Million state grant. This imitative CEO, championed by Senator Terry Wanzek and Representative Craig Headland, is being provided via SB 2018, ND Department of Commerce including North Dakota Tourism, budget 2021-2023.”
Scenarios have been established to summarize the potential economic impacts, including increases of the size of the state economy, payroll creation, and the creation of new jobs.
Connie also pointed out that “It also estimates tax revenues from sales and use tax and individual income tax. These are projected for the five years from 2024 to 2029 and do not account for the considerable economic impact during the construction phase.”
The proposal from Apogee Attractions, and Lunde & Associations LLC for the Concept Development package develops a preliminary estimate to build the Park, along with adjusting and updating the master plan, and provides civil engineering, along with completing the schematic design for the project.
The State REMI Study and Apogee Attractions Market Study, estimates the total return on investment may be $6.446 million in 2024, more than a 10-percent return on the $60 million investment.
Going forward with proposal is estimated to take about four months.
Jamestown (JRFD) Jamestown Rural Fire Department, Chief Paulson, says, The Rural Fire Department is requesting that local leaders, residents, businesses, and industry to please email your local member of the North Dakota House of Representatives & House Leadership and ask them to support the Senate Amended version of HB 1010 (specifically “Continuing Appropriations”).
HB 1010 is the ND Insurance Commissioners budget. Contained in this budget is the Fire Premium Tax Distribution. Currently, the bill is in conference committee. This tax is collected on different lines of insurance premiums sold in ND and a portion is distributed back to the fire departments/districts where the insurance premiums have been sold per ND Century Code 18-04.
Brief history of this tax
This tax was levied on Insurance policies sold beginning in 1887 and sent back to organized fire departments. In 1949 this process was made a “Continuing Appropriations” by the ND Legislature. Meaning these were made pass through funds through the ND Insurance Department.
In 1985 due to hard economic times in the state, the ND Legislature removed this as a continuing appropriation and started to use these funds to help stabilize the general fund. With the hopes from the ND fire service that someday this funding mechanism will be restored.
Where are we at today
The ND fire service has had to fight long and hard to see this funding distribution restored back to 100% returned back to the fire departments of ND, and a return back to continuing appropriations.
The funding distribution has fallen as far down to 49% returned back to local fire departments in 2012, The other 51% went back to the general fund. Last biennium $1.9 million dollars went back into the general fund.
The Senate Appropriations Committee added amendments to HB 1010 to make the 18-04 Insurance Tax right again after nearly 40 years. The ND Insurance Commissioner also would like to see this as a continuing appropriation as well and is advocating as such.
We would specifically like to thank Senator Wanzek, Vice Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and Senator Conley for their work and support of this bill in the Senate. HB 1010 with amendments passed unanimously in the Senate Chamber.
Now we ask House Leader Pollert, Rep. Headland, Rep. Ostlie, and Rep. Satrom for their support and leadership in the ND House of Representatives to pass HB 1010 as amended by the Senate.
So please share this far and wide across the great state of North Dakota. Even further, contact your local House Member and in a positive manner share your support of this effort. These funds are critical to your local fire departments to equip and maintain a vital service to our local communities.
Chief Paulson

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Attorneys in the trial of a former Minneapolis police officer charged with killing George Floyd will make their closing arguments Monday. Each side will be seeking to distill three weeks of testimony into a compelling argument that persuades jurors to deliver their view of the right verdict. For prosecutors, it’s that Derek Chauvin recklessly squeezed the life from Floyd as he pinned him to the pavement for more than 9 minutes in a clear misuse of force. For the defense, it’s that Floyd died of a bad heart and made himself more vulnerable by abusing drugs and resisting officers. The eventual verdict will come in a city and nation on edge over the outcome.

NBA fines Spurs for violating resting rules in game they won
NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA has fined the San Antonio Spurs $25,000 for violating the league’s player resting policy — in a game the Spurs won by 26 points.

Bruce is hitting .118 with one homer and three RBIs in 39 plate appearances, and he remained active for Sunday’s game.
NHL..
UNDATED (AP) — The Boston Bruins remain perfect since acquiring former Hart Trophy winner Taylor Hall at the trade deadline last week.
The Bruins own a four-game winning streak after Brad Marchand delivered two goals and a pair of assists in a 6-3 downing of the Capitals.
David Krejci (KRAY’-chee) and Patrice Bergeron also scored twice to back Tuukka (TOO’-kuh) Rask, who turned back 30 shots in his second victory since suffering an injury in February.
The Bruins’ winning streak has put them back in the mix for the East Division title chase. Boston is six points behind East-leading Washington with three games in hand.
The Islanders are back in second place in the East and just two points back after Nick Leddy scored the only goal in New York’s 1-0 overtime win at Philadelphia. The Isles hadn’t scored since early in the second period two games ago, a span of 159 minutes and 27 seconds of game time.
Rookie Ilya Sorokin (sah-ROH’-kihn) made 30 saves and improved to 12-2-0 in his last 14 games.
The Penguins remain three points behind the Capitals following a 4-2 loss to the last-place Sabres, who’ve already been eliminated from playoff contention. Sam Reinhart scored twice and Buffalo improved to 6-3-2 since an 18-game winless skid. Dustin Tokarski stopped 34 shots against the Penguins, who were 4-0-1 in their previous five games.

In world and national news…
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Several protesters were taken into custody Sunday night after authorities in North Carolina declared a police brutality demonstration an “unlawful assembly.” For a third night in a row, demonstrators marched through downtown Raleigh protesting the police killings of 20-year-old Daunte Wright in Minnesota and 13-year-old Adam Toledo in Chicago. News outlets report several people in the crowd threw eggs toward camera crews and police cars, burned American flags and overturned garbage cans. When protesters neared the old State Capitol building, police exited their vehicles and began chasing the crowd, which dispersed onto the sidewalk. Reporters on the scene say at least seven people were taken into custody.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Police say the former employee who shot and killed eight people at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis legally purchased the two rifles used in the attack despite red flag laws designed to prevent that. The Indianapolis police say a trace of the two guns found at the scene revealed that suspect Brandon Scott Hole legally bought the rifles last July and September. Indiana has a “red flag law” intended to prevent people from possessing a firearm if they are found by a judge to present “an imminent risk.” Officials have not said whether a ruling was made in Hole’s case that would have prevented him from purchasing a firearm after police seized a shotgun from his home last year.
CHICAGO (AP) — People gathered around Chicago to remember a 13-year-old boy fatally shot by a police officer and to call for changes in policing and an end to gun violence. Sunday’s events followed the release of body-camera footage showing Chicago police Officer Eric Stillman shoot Adam Toledo less than a second after the boy dropped a gun, turned toward the officer and began raising his hands. Stillman chased Adam down a dark alley on March 29 after responding to a call of gunshots. Largely peaceful demonstrations have been held each day since the video was released on Thursday.
BERLIN (AP) — Russia’s delegate to high-level talks in Vienna aimed at bringing the United States back into the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran says they’re are moving ahead with experts working on drafting proposals this week, but a solution remains “far away.” Two expert groups have been brainstorming solutions to the two major issues: the rollback of American sanctions on one hand, and Iran’s return to compliance on the other. Russian representative Mikhail Ulyanov tweeted Monday: “we can note with satisfaction that the negotiations (are) entering the drafting stage.” He says:“Practical solutions are still far away, but we have moved from general words to agreeing on specific steps towards the goal.”
MOSCOW (AP) — The Russian state penitentiary service says a decision has been made to transfer imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who is in the third week of a hunger strike, to a hospital. The announcement comes two days after Navalny’s physician said his health was deteriorating rapidly and the 44-year-old Kremlin critic could be on the verge of death. The state prison service said in a statement that Navalny would be transferred to a hospital for convicts located in another penal colony in Vladimir, a city 180 kilometers (110 miles) east of Moscow. According to the statement, Navalny’s condition is deemed “satisfactory” and he has agreed to take vitamin supplements.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden faces a vexing task as he convenes a virtual climate summit on Thursday. He is expected to present a nonbinding but symbolic goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that will have a tangible impact on climate change efforts not only in the U.S. but throughout the world. The emissions target is eagerly awaited by all sides of the climate debate, and it will signal how aggressively Biden wants to move on climate change. Republicans complain about job-killing government overreach while some on the left worry Biden has not gone far enough to address a profound threat to the planet.
TOKYO (AP) — Global shares are mixed and U.S. futures have declined amid cautious optimism about a global rebound from the coronavirus pandemic. Investors are awaiting a raft of earnings reports this week that will provide further fodder about how businesses are faring. Benchmarks in Japan, South Korea, China and Australia ended higher. Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga met with President Joe Biden over the weekend and asked Pfizer for a more steady supply of the vaccine. Japan has lagged the U.S., Israel and some European countries with barely 1% of its population inoculated. Some urban areas in Japan, including Tokyo, are expanding measures meant to curb infections.
