Tuesday\u2019s primary is being conducted exclusively by mail due to concerns over the coronavirus outbreak. The plan approved by Chief Judge Peter Welte is the result of a lawsuit that challenged a state law requiring a match between a signature on an absentee ballot and the voter\u2019s signature on his or her ballot application. Welte approved a plan that requires county auditors to \u201ctake reasonable steps as soon as practicable\u201d to inform voters with signature mismatches. Steps include an attempt to reach them by phone, and if that fails contacting them by mail.<\/p>\n Valley City\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 Mid-morning Tuesday a felled tree that had\u00a0eroded on Sheyenne River bank\u00a0 at City Park in Valley City caused a power outage, when the tree toppled on to electrical wires.<\/p>\n At about 10:45-a.m. the outage affected businesses and a residential area, downtown.<\/p>\n Power was restored when crews took the tree off the power line.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n State health officials say 22 more people have tested positive for the new coronavirus in North Dakota, but no additional deaths were reported.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made this nearly impossible. Starting Tuesday, June 9, 2020 CHI Mercy Health is announcing that with the Governor declaring a green status for our state and testing being completed with no positive COVID results some of our visitor restrictions have been lifted so we can better serve our patients and community. We did not want to loosen some of our visitation rules until we were sure that we did not have any staff with the infection.<\/p>\n No visitor presenting to CHI Mercy Health will be allowed in the building without a mask. All visitors will be screened at the front desk and verify that they have a mask. Visitors will not be allowed to roam around the hospital. Visitors must go directly to hospital department, check in with hospital staff and be in a patient\u2019s room or designated waiting area. Visitors may stay as long as they like but if they choose to leave the building they will not be allowed back in. Patient\u2019s may have only one visitor per day. This is designed to keep the numbers of people actually entering the hospital to a minimum. CHI Mercy Health will continue to follow stringent policies and procedures to make sure the hospital remains a safe environment. Visitors are asked to stay home if they\u2019re feeling ill or experiencing symptoms.\u201d<\/p>\n CHI Mercy Health\u2019s new visitation guidelines are as follows: Thank you again for all of your support and for your steadfast commitment to CHI Mercy Health and to our mission. Please keep our dedicated caregivers and the patients they serve in your thoughts and prayers.<\/p>\n We\u2019re strongly encouraging anyone who is suspicious of or concerned with COVID-19 exposure to PLEASE CALL 701-845-6400 FIRST prior to coming to the hospital \/ Emergency Room. Screening questions will be used during the phone call. These along with additional screening procedures have been implemented to keep our patients and staff safe.<\/p>\n Jamestown\u00a0 (uj.edu) The University of Jamestown\u2019s Golden Z Club recently won a Zonta International Emma L.
