This includes starting, conducting, allowing, maintaining, or soliciting any open burn activities.<\/p>\n<p>Violations of the open burning ordinance will be enforced.\u00a0 A violation is a Class B misdemeanor, for which a maximum penalty of 30 days in jail, a fine of $1,500.00 or both may be imposed.<\/p>\n<p>This ordinance is in effect in all of Stutsman County including its incorporated cities that do not have their own open burning ordinances.\u00a0 The ordinance does not include the City of Jamestown which has its own ordinances relating to burning.<\/p>\n<p>The daily Fire Danger Rating can be found either by going to the Stutsman County website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.co.stutsman.nd.us\">www.co.stutsman.nd.us<\/a> and clicking on the green \u201cFire Danger\u201d icon at the top of the page, or by calling the Stutsman County Communications Center at 701-252-1000.\u00a0 A full version of the burn ordinance can also be found at the County website under Departments, choose Zoning, and click on \u201cBurn Ban Ordinance\u201d on the left-hand side of the page.\u00a0 Information regarding RED FLAG WARNINGS can be found by going to the Bismarck National Weather Service website at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/bis\/\">https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/bis\/#<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.co.stutsman.nd.us\/departments\/emergency-management\/fire-danger\">Stutsman County information<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>\u2026WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM NOON TUESDAY TO 8 PM CDT TUESDAY EVENING\u2026<\/p>\n<p>* WHAT\u2026Northwest winds 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 45 mph expected.<\/p>\n<p>* WHERE\u2026Portions of northwest and west central Minnesota and northeast and southeast North Dakota.

Rivers takes over as the 25th head coach in 76ers history after a seven-season run as coach of the Los Angeles Clippers.<\/p>\n<p>Rivers said coaching All-Stars Joel Embiid (joh-EHL\u2019 ehm-BEED\u2019) and Ben Simmons made the job too good to pass up.

The captain of the Oilers had 34 goals and 97 points in 64 games during the pandemic-shortened season.<\/p>\n<p>The NHL made it through its postseason in bubbles in Toronto and Edmonton without one positive test in August and September.<\/p>\n<p>In other NHL moves:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Wild have traded goalie Devan Dubnyk (DOOB\u2019-nihk) and forward Ryan Donato to the Sharks for draft picks, in separate deals. Dubnyk is coming off his worst season since joining the Wild, going 12-15-2 with a 3.35 goals-against average and an .890 save percentage.

It marks the second straight one-year deal at the NHL minimum with the Leafs for the 37-year-old Toronto native.

He immediately ignited a new controversy by declaring that despite his illness the nation should not fear the virus that has killed more than 210,000 Americans \u2014 and then he entered the White House without a protective mask. Trump climbed the South Portico steps, removed his mask and declared, \u201cI feel good.\u201d Trump, who remains contagious, is expected to continue his recovery at the White House, where he will be cared for 24\/7 by a team of doctors and nurses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>SEATTLE (AP) \u2014 Some survivors of COVID-19 and people who have lost loved ones to the pandemic are angry over President Donald Trump&#8217;s advice not to fear the disease. The world&#8217;s most prominent coronavirus patient tweeted Monday that he&#8217;s feeling great and that people shouldn&#8217;t let COVID-19 dominate them. Seneca Nation member and New York resident Marc Papaj lost his mother, grandmother and aunt to the virus. He was finding it tough to follow the president\u2019s advice not to let the virus \u201cdominate your life.\u201d On the contrary, he says his loss will forever dominate the rest of his life. At least 210,000 Americans have died from the virus since March.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>STOCKHOLM (AP) \u2014 The 2020 Nobel Prize for physics has been awarded to Briton Roger Penrose, German Reinhard Genzel and American Andrea Ghez for advancing our understanding of black holes. Penrose proved with mathematics that the formation of black holes was possible, based heavily on Albert Einstein\u2019s general theory of relativity. Genzel and Ghez discovered a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. Goran Hansson of the Royal Swedish Academy announced the recipients. The prestigious award comes with a gold medal and prize money of over $1.1 million courtesy of a bequest left by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Supreme Court has opened its new term with a jolt from two conservative justices on the question of same-sex marriage. Justice Clarence Thomas suggested in a statement that the court needs to revisit the issue after having affirmed the right to gay marriage. Justice Samuel Alito joined him in the statement. The matter resurfaces as the court is expected to take a turn to the right if Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed for the vacancy left by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Reversing the court\u2019s decision in the gay marriage case would seem a tall order. But the statement underscores liberals\u2019 fears that the court could roll back some of their hardest-fought gains.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Stocks have wavered on uncertainty over prospects for fresh economic stimulus and over President Donald Trump&#8217;s return to the White House to complete his recovery from the coronavirus. Shares fell Tuesday in Paris and London but rose in Tokyo and Hong Kong. Shanghai&#8217;s markets are closed for a holiday. U.S. futures edged lower. Investors were encouraged by comments by both Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi noting the importance of more support for the economy. Worries over flaring outbreaks of the coronavirus have raised the urgency of fresh stimulus but it&#8217;s unclear if the Democrats and Republicans will manage to reach an agreement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; \u2026RED FLAG WARNING CENTRAL AND MUCH OF WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA INCLUDING THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING\u2026 FROM NOON TUES DAY TO 8 PM CDT FOR DRY FUELS, STRONG WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITY FOR ALL OF EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA\u2026INCLUDING BARNES COUNTY .Critical fire weather conditions [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":177892,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-209639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wb-show"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=209639"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209639\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":209682,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209639\/revisions\/209682"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/177892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=209639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=209639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=209639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
