Valley City  (12-27-21)  Here’s the latest message to the Valley City community from  Mayor Dave  Carlsrud.

A “White Christmas”? Yes it was and a storm to boot! It looks like winter may be here for the duration.

Recently my son, grandson & I visited the Barnes County Museum; it is a wonderful place with something for most everyone. The player piano was one of my grandson’s favorite items with music from “Country” to “Classical”. There is an electric train set that is second to none and Gundy, a large pre-historic Triceratops, greets you when you enter. Additionally Wes Anderson, our museum curator, is always ready to assist visitors and possesses a wealth of information to share. https://barnescountyhistoricalsocietymuseum.com

Another special place in Valley City is the Barnes County Library. That it is a Carnegie Library makes it extra special and another great place to visit during the holiday season. Occasionally I have promoted “volunteerism”. Both the museum and the library can use volunteers at times.

Blessings, Respect, Kindness and Prayers.

Mayor Dave Carlsrud

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — State officials are renewing their search for a new land commissioner after receiving five applications. The Bismarck Tribune reported Monday that Gov. Doug Burgum’s spokesman says four of the five applicants met the minimum qualifications for the job. The last search for a land commissioner in 2017 netted 32 applications. Burgum’s administration is looking for a new commissioner after Jodi Smith announced in October she planned to resign. The commissioner leads the Department of Trust Lands. The agency manages educational trust funds and assets, including 700,000 state-owned surface acres and 2.6 million mineral acres. Revenue from oil development and livestock grazing on state-owned land goes toward public education.

 

 

Moorhead, MN (MPD) –  The Moorhead Police Department issued a statement Monday afternoon that a man that was found in the street with multiple gunshot wounds Monday morning around 7 am.

MPD Statement:

“A male was located in the street with multiple gunshot wounds.
On December 27, 2021, at approximately 7:00 am, Moorhead Police were dispatched to the 900 block of 23 Avenue South for a report of a man down in the street. Responding officers located an adult male victim with multiple gunshot wounds. Evidence on the scene quickly led officers to a nearby apartment, where numerous people were detained. The victim was transported by Sanford Ambulance to Essentia, where he is being treated for non-life-threatening wounds.
The investigation is still ongoing; however, the investigation shows there is no danger to the public, and this was not a random act. At this time, no one has been officially booked into custody or charged.
In world and national news
NEW YORK (AP) — Flight cancellations that disrupted holiday travel stretched into Monday, with major U.S. airlines each canceling dozens of flights. Staffers calling out sick because of COVID-19 have left airlines short in recent days. According to FlightAware, which tracks flight cancellations, airlines have canceled roughly 4,000 flights to, from or inside the U.S. since Friday. Delta, United, JetBlue and American have all said that the omicron variant was causing staffing problems, and European and Australian airlines also canceled holiday-season flights because staff were out sick with COVID, but other factors such as weather have played a role as well.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The top U.S. infectious disease expert says the nation should consider a vaccination mandate for domestic air travel. Dr. Anthony Fauci’s comments Monday signal a potential embrace of an idea the Biden administration has previously eschewed. He says such a mandate might drive up the lagging U.S. vaccination rate as well as confer stronger protection on flights, as infection rates spike. The Biden administration has thus far balked at imposing a vaccination requirement for domestic air travel. And officials say President Joe Biden’s science advisers have yet to make a formal recommendation for such a requirement. A vaccine mandate for air travel is likely to spark legal challenges.

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. Navy warship remains in port at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, with about two dozen sailors — or nearly a quarter of its crew — testing positive for COVID-19, according to U.S. defense officials. The USS Milwaukee has a crew of a bit more than 100, and it was forced to pause its deployment late last week because of the coronavirus outbreak. The defense officials, who spoke Monday on condition of anonymity to discuss details of the outbreak, say the number of infected sailors is staying relatively constant at this point.

 

BRUSSELS (AP) — New Year celebrations are approaching and across the world there is an urge to party. But the desire to let loose is being countered by the highly transmissible omicron variant. Governments are moving at different speeds to contain the pandemic, with some reimposing restrictions immediately and others hesitating to spoil the party again. In Britain, where caseloads have soared to record highs, Health Secretary Sajid Javid says no further restrictions will be introduced in England before the new year. In France, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced a set of restrictions set to kick in next week.

 

Israel’s Health Ministry says it will allow people with two doses of the coronavirus vaccine to get a booster shot after three months, rather than the five-month waiting period it previously allowed. The government said in a statement Monday that it shortened the timeframe to boost immunity as the swiftly-moving omicron variant spreads around the globe. The new rule would apply to vaccines made by Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca. There was still no decision on whether to roll out a second tranche of booster shots to its population as the country grappled with rising infections.

 

Stocks made steady gains on Wall Street Monday, enough to mark another record high for the S&P 500 index. Trading was muted as investors returned from the Christmas holiday and several overseas markets remained closed. The S&P 500 climbed 1.4%, led by more gains in big technology companies like Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia. Energy companies also did well as prices for crude oil and natural gas rose. European markets mostly rose, but London’s was closed for a holiday. In Asia, Hong Kong’s market was also closed and Japan’s market ended slightly lower. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note edged down to 1.48%.
