Having a pet is a blessing. That said having a pet also includes the responsibility to feed, groom and pick up its “poop”. People have mentioned that some pets are allowed to defecate in people’s lawns and it is left there. I have seen feces left in several places on the shared use paths! Please folks, SVFA and VCPR provide bags and dispensers, “PICK UP”.

 

If you are thinking a COVID Vaccination is not for you, will you please reassess a bit? If your concern is physical, results seem to show risks are fewer than some other shots we take regularly. If your concern is personal, consider that people without the vaccination can spread the virus to young or high-risk family and close friends. If your concern is political, please weigh the political importance with importance of protecting your family and friends. Call 845-8518 for information.

Bismarck  (CSi) – The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality (NDDEQ) was notified of a produced water spill at a pipeline site operated by Goodnight Midstream, LLC, in McKenzie County on Thursday, June 10. The incident occurred about three miles north of Johnson’s Corner.

Initial reports state that approximately 1,800 barrels (75,600 gallons) of produced water were released, impacting a wheat field. Produced water, also known as brine or saltwater, is a by-product of oil production. The cause of the spill was due to equipment failure.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s oil industry no longer has to ship all its radioactive waste out of state. A waste disposal facility in McKenzie County has started operating. Trucks have hauled nearly 100,000 tons of the radioactive material each year to landfills in other states after various companies failed to win approval to establish a repository in North Dakota. One company, KT Enterprises, won approval this year to operate a slurry well. It’s not a landfill. Radioactive waste is sent underground at a facility near Watford City. The waste is processed with saltwater, another unwanted byproduct of oil and gas production, and the mixture is then injected down a well deep into rock formations.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Dakota Access oil pipeline opponents have asked a federal judge to require detailed monthly status reports while the federal government conducts an extensive environmental review. The request comes after Judge James Boasberg ruled last month that the pipeline may continue operating while the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducts the review. Boasberg ordered the parties involved in the litigation to meet Friday to go over the next steps they plan to take. Pipeline attorneys told the court they shouldn’t have to provide status reports and renewed their longstanding request to have the case dismissed. Attorneys for the Standing Rock Sioux and other tribes say a decision to appeal the judge’s order could come later.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Court of Appeals has affirmed key approvals by state regulators of Enbridge Energy’s Line 3 oil pipeline replacement project. A three-judge panel ruled 2-1 on Monday that the Public Utilities Commission correctly granted Enbridge the certificate of need and route permit that the Canadian-based company needs for the Minnesota segment. Enbridge wants to replace the 1960s-era pipeline because it has been deteriorating and can run at only half capacity. More than 1,000 tribal and environmental activists gathered at construction sites near the headwaters of the Mississippi River last week to try to block the project.

In world and national news…

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Vermont became the first state in the country to vaccinate at least 80% of the eligible population, prompting Gov. Phil Scott to lift all remaining state COVID-19 restrictions. Vermont crossed the threshold on Sunday when the state vaccinated 1,151 people, reaching a level of 80.2% of those over age 12. The goal was reached 464 days after Scott declared the state of emergency on March 13, 2020. The state has now vaccinated 81.1% of the population over 18, exceeding President Biden’s goal of 70% of those 18 and older.

 

BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO leaders have declared that China poses a constant security challenge and is working to undermine global order. And they say they’re worried about how fast the Chinese are developing nuclear missiles. It’s a summit message in Brussels on Monday in sync with President Joe Biden’s efforts to get allies to speak out with a more unified voice against China’s trade, military and human rights practices. Biden, meanwhile, reaffirmed America’s commitment to the NATO alliance that has been beleaguered during the presidency of Donald Trump.

 

(AP) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Turkey would expect “diplomatic, logistical and financial” assistance from the United States if it’s to maintain a presence in Afghanistan following the withdrawal of NATO troops. Turkey is reported to have offered to operate and protect Kabul’s international airport after the departure of the NATO force. Erdogan did not say if an agreement was reached on the issue but said Turkey wanted Pakistan and Hungary to be involved in a possible new mission. Erdogan signaled that he and U.S. President Joe Biden failed to find a way to overcome differences over Turkey’s purchase of the S-400 advanced Russian missile defense systems.

 

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge has ordered that the murder trial of multimillionaire real estate heir Robert Durst will continue, despite defense requests for a delay because he’s in too much pain. Durst’s lawyers argued that he was in such pain from a urinary tract infection and other undiagnosed issues that he couldn’t even stand up to to dress for court. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mark Windham said that the jail system had declared Durst fit for trial, and testimony should resume. Durst is on trial for the 2000 killing of his best friend Susan Berman. He has pleaded not guilty.

 

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — It will soon be a lot easier to see smiles again at Walt Disney World in Florida. Starting Tuesday, face masks will be optional for theme park visitors who are vaccinated. Visitors who are not fully vaccinated will still be asked to wear face masks indoors and on all rides and attractions, but Disney says on its website that workers won’t require proof of vaccination. All visitors, whether vaccinated or not, will still be required to wear face coverings on buses, monorails and the Disney Skyliner, which is the resort’s aerial gondola. Disney began allowing visitors go to without masks outdoors last month.

 

LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has confirmed that the next planned relaxation of coronavirus restrictions in England will be delayed by four weeks until July 19, as a result of the spread of the delta variant. In a press briefing Monday, Johnson voiced confidence that he won’t have to announce a further delay to the plan to lift restrictions on social contact. He said the government will accelerate its vaccination rollout and that the decision to delay will save thousands of lives. New analysis by Public Health England showed that two doses of the main vaccines in the U.K.’s rollout are highly effective against hospitalization from the delta variant, which was first identified in India.

 

GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris is stopping in South Carolina as part of a monthlong push by the White House to get more Americans vaccinated against COVID-19 before the July 4 holiday. She joined local and state officials Monday at a community center to underscore the message that coronavirus vaccines currently available are safe, free and effective. Some new steps the administration has taken include partnering to provide people with free transportation and childcare when they get their vaccines. President Joe Biden announced earlier this month the White House is aiming to get 70% of Americans at least partially vaccinated by Independence Day.
