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<p>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<p>At about 10:45-a.m. the outage affected businesses and a residential area, downtown.<\/p>\n<p>Power was restored when crews took the tree off the power line.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>State health officials say 22 more people have tested positive for the new coronavirus in North Dakota, but no additional deaths were reported.

to the \u201clow risk,\u201d category, which relaxes many restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>The news release issued by CHI Mercy Health, and CEO, Keith Heuser states:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe understand how much it means to patients to have their loved ones with them during their hospitalization and outpatient visits. 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<p>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<p>CHI Mercy Health\u2019s new visitation guidelines are as follows:<br \/>\n\u00b7 One visitor per day for each acute\/observation patient.<br \/>\n\u00b7 An additional visitor per patient at the time of discharge.<br \/>\n\u00b7 One per surgery or ambulatory care patient.<br \/>\n\u00b7 One per ED patient as appropriate.<br \/>\n\u00b7 Delivery Drivers may take their deliveries directly to the department that ordered them (outside of direct patient care areas) as long as they are masked and cleared by their company.<br \/>\nVisitor restrictions still apply for:<br \/>\n\u00b7 Use Main Entrance Door # 1.<br \/>\n\u00b7 South Door (nearest handicapped parking) will be locked.<br \/>\n\u00b7 All visitors will be screened upon arrival to the hospital.<br \/>\n\u00b7 Compassionate care visitation \u2013 Limit of 2 at a time in building.<br \/>\n\u00b7 Minor child visitor \u2013 No visitors under the age of 18.<br \/>\n\u00b7 Swing bed remains the same.<\/p>\n<p>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<p>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<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-129872\" src=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/UJpollypeterson-300x202.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/UJpollypeterson-300x202.png 300w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/UJpollypeterson-260x175.png 260w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/UJpollypeterson.png 445w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Jamestown\u00a0 (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jimmieathletics.com\/article\/5492.php\">uj.edu<\/a>)\u00a0\u00a0 University of Jamestown President, Dr. Polly Peterson has issued a statement to the community.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I begin by sharing my deep sadness for the acts of violence and hate that have occurred in recent days. The acts of police brutality exhibited by some of those entrusted to keep us safe have incited our nation. We applaud those who are gathering peacefully to insist on systemic change. Violence directed against individuals because of their skin color is reprehensible and must end. Appropriating otherwise peaceful, meaningful protests to incite violence and\/or for personal gain in the way that some individuals have is wrong and makes facilitating the important dialogue we must engage in more difficult. In the aftermath of quarantine and isolation, we must not only speak up, but also directly support one another when we witness any discrimination due to race, religion, age, social status, or sexual orientation. The University of Jamestown is a Christian university committed to inclusion, tolerance, and the dignity of all humanity, and we stand united in our belief that racism has no place here, or anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>As an institution of higher education founded in the Presbyterian tradition, we embrace the liberal arts and the ongoing search for knowledge and truth as a way of liberating the human spirit and understanding the world we share with others. We promote education as a means to improve lives. We must accept our responsibility to build nurturing communities that are inclusive, supportive, and empowering, and ones that respect and embrace the differences in all of us. Fundamental to the UJ experience is a commitment to servant leadership; now, more than ever, we must stand united in service to all.<\/p>\n<p>Please join me in this effort.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Polly Peterson<\/p>\n<p>Jamestown\u00a0 (uj.edu) The University of Jamestown\u2019s Golden Z Club recently won a Zonta International Emma L. Conlon Service Award for their 2019 \u201c16 Days of Activism\u201d project about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW). They were the only club in the United States selected to receive this award.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the UJ Golden Z Club is to: serve the University and the community; provide career guidance; encourage leadership qualities in\u00a0fellow students; and promote fellowship and better understanding among people of the world. The Golden Z Club is one of three clubs in Jamestown that is part of Zonta International. Zonta Club of Jamestown and the Jamestown High School BlueZ Club are also part of the international organization.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The motto of the Golden Z Club is \u201cFuture Leaders Building a Better World Today Through Service and Advocacy\u201d. The Club strives to empower women through education and brings awareness to women\u2019s issues worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to bringing awareness to women&#8217;s issues, every year the Club creates a special\u00a0project for Zonta International&#8217;s &#8220;16 Days of Activism&#8221;.

NASCAR could see the end of an era<\/p>\n<p>UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The familiar scene of Confederate flags waved by fans at NASCAR tracks could soon be a relic of racing\u2019s good ol\u2019 boy roots.<\/p>\n<p>Bubba Wallace &#8212; the lone black driver in the sport \u2014 this week declared it is time for the stock car series with deep ties to the South to ban the flag at its properties and formally distance itself from what for millions is a unwelcome symbol of slavery and racism.<\/p>\n<p>The signs are everywhere that NASCAR could do so. As the nation grapples with social unrest largely tied to the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis, the predominantly white field of drivers united for a video promoting social change. A black NASCAR official took a knee before Sunday\u2019s race near Atlanta in what may have been a first and the governing body vowed to do a better job of addressing racial injustice.<\/p>\n<p>Wallace &#8211; who wore a black T-shirt with the words \u201cI Can\u2019t Breathe\u201d at Sunday\u2019s race &#8212; seized the moment and issued his most compelling comments yet on the often thorny nature of race and racing: \u201cMy next step would be to get rid of all Confederate flags.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There was no immediate statement from NASCAR.

Graham bested fellow Republicans Duke Buckner, Michael Lapierre and Joe Reynolds on Tuesday. Harrison was unopposed in the Democratic primary. Graham&#8217;s win sets up a general election contest that&#8217;s on pace to become the most expensive race in South Carolina history, with both Graham and Harrison posting record-setting fundraising hauls in recent quarters. Two Libertarians and one Constitution Party candidate have also filed to seek the seat.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Democratic Senate primary in Georgia is too early to call. In Georgia, candidates must win more than 50% of the vote to avoid a runoff. With more than half of the expected vote counted at 1:30 a.m. EDT, Jon Ossoff has approximately 48% of the counted vote. He leads Teresa Tomlinson, who has roughly 16% of the counted vote, and Sarah Riggs Amico, with about 13%.

And the pain is not over yet even if there is no second wave of infections. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development says hundreds of millions of people have lost their jobs, and the crisis is worsening inequalities by hitting the poor and young people the hardest. If there is no second wave of infections, the agency forecast a global drop in economic output of 6% this year. If the coronavirus re-emerges later in the year, however, the global economy could shrink 7.6%.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(AP) The CEO of CrossFit is stepping down after his tweet about George Floyd sparked a social media backlash and led to affiliated gyms and Reebok cutting ties with the exercise brand. Greg Glassman said in a statement late Tuesday that he decided to retire, saying he has created a rift in the CrossFit community and unintentionally hurt many of its members. Glassman had apologized earlier for tweets that sparked online outrage by connecting Floyd and the coronavirus pandemic. He said he made a mistake and should have been more sensitive but denied being racist.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The military is rethinking its traditional embrace or tolerance of Confederate Army symbols. This includes whether to rename Army bases like North Carolina&#8217;s Fort Bragg that honor Confederate officers who led the fight against the Union and directly or implicitly defended slavery. The issue has arisen periodically but is gaining new attention as the nation wrestles with questions of race after the death of George Floyd in the hands of Minneapolis police. A spokesman for Defense Secretary Mark Esper says Esper is open to a \u201cbipartisan discussion\u201d of the issue. The Marines are banning public displays of the Confederate Army battle flag.
