When I got to his house the feed shed had been left open and his three horses had been in there eating. When a horse eats too much grain, it can overload and can get colic and laminitis. Dad&#8217;s horses mean the world to him. He uses two of them as a team to pull the grandkids, and many other kids in Edgeley, in his buggy. When I discovered my dad&#8217;s horses, I called Southwood Emergency after-hours number. Anna Stansbery answered and said she was up getting ready for work and asked if she could call me back. When she called back, she said that if I could bring them in right away, she&#8217;d find a way to fit them into her schedule, so she could get them started on mineral oil and charcoal right away to stop the feed absorption. She explained that the timing of this was critical. Anna could have easily declined to take on the additional work and turned us away. She did this despite the fact that I am far from the most valuable customer at the clinic. The horses would have suffered permanent injury if she hadn&#8217;t taken the time to treat them that day. She treated me like the most valuable customer. As of now, dad&#8217;s horses are healthy and happy and he&#8217;ll be able to give the grandkids rides for years to come.

The allocation is based on North Dakota\u2019s number of students from low-income families. The emphasis is on first providing masks to students who come from low-income households, and\/or who are at higher risk.<\/p>\n<p>Gov. Doug Burgum announced last week that students and adults in schools who have been in close contact with a person infected with COVID-19 do not have to quarantine, if both the close contact and the infected person were both wearing masks properly when they were in contact.<\/p>\n<p>Baesler said \u201cMask use among students, teachers, administrators and school support personnel not only promotes public health, it can reduce the number of quarantines necessary if there are close contacts with someone who is infected with the virus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shipments of large masks, for use for adults and students in grades 7-12, are being distributed beginning this week. Smaller masks, which are intended for students in grades K-6, will be distributed once they arrive in North Dakota.<\/p>\n<p>The masks are being sent to public school districts, which will be responsible for sharing them with nonpublic schools in their communities.<\/p>\n<p>FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Former North Dakota congressman Mark Andrews has died at age 94. The Republican was virtually unbeatable after being appointed to the U.S. House in 1963. He served eight more terms as a congressman and a term in the U.S. Senate before an upset defeat in 1986. Andrews surprised some Republicans with his criticism of some of President Ronald Reagan\u2019s economic policies, once saying that \u201cpeople in North Dakota didn\u2019t elect me to be a rubber stamp.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MANDAN, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Public school officials in Mandan are investigating after a \u201cTrump 2020\u201d flag that included a profane message was put up in a classroom. Superintendent Mike Bitz says school officials are talking with the students involved Tuesday, the first day back in class following the incident Friday. Bitz says the flag violated the district\u2019s academic freedom policy which states teachers need administrative approval before presenting a controversial topic in class. He says elections always are a controversial issue.<\/p>\n<p>MADISON, Wis. (AP) \u2014 Gov. Tony Evers\u2019 administration has issued a new order limiting the size of public indoor gatherings to stem the spread of COVID-19. Wisconsin has become one of the worst hot spots for the disease over the last month as colleges and schools reopened and fatigue over wearing masks and social distancing has grown. The order issued Tuesday limits public indoor gatherings to 25% of the room or building\u2019s capacity. Gatherings in indoor spaces without an occupancy limit are limited to 10 people. The order takes effect Friday and runs through Nov. 6. Evers&#8217; attorney says he&#8217;s confident the restrictions will withstand any legal challenge.<\/p>\n<p>MADISON, Wis. (AP) \u2014 Election officials have scrapped plans to use the Milwaukee Bucks and Brewers&#8217; stadiums as early voting sites. The city of Milwaukee&#8217;s election commission had planned to use Fiserv Forum and Miller Park between Oct. 20 and Nov. 1. Voters could have voted early in person or returned absentee ballots they received in the mail at the stadiums. The commission said Tuesday it would not hold early voting at the stadiums after all, citing a recent court ruling that could open the door to legal challenges. It&#8217;s unclear what ruling the commission is referencing. City election officials said their state counterparts told them early voting sites had to have been designated by June 12 and the Fiserv and Miller Park plans weren&#8217;t implemented until Sept. 1.<\/p>\n<p>In world and national news&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump is back at the White House after staging a dramatic return from the military hospital where he has been receiving an unprecedented level of care for COVID-19. His doctor says he spent a restful night and is showing no new symptoms. After arriving back at the White House, 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. That was Monday evening. On Tuesday he underscored his controversial message by repeating his previous comparison of COVID-19 to the seasonal flu.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CANTON, Ohio (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump\u2019s supporters are not shocked that he caught COVID-19. Some are praising him because he managed to dodge it so long and think it might help his reelection. Very few think he needs to reevaluate his approach to the deadly virus. Although COVID-19 has killed more than 200,000 Americans, Trump supporters in several key states said they see the virus as a part of life. Many appeared to be taking a cue from the president\u2019s airy message on Twitter telling people not to fear the virus.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CANCUN, Mexico (AP) \u2014 Hurricane Delta is getting bigger fast and speeding up as it takes aim at Mexico&#8217;s Yucatan Peninsula. It&#8217;s now a Category 4 hurricane with top winds of 140 mph (225 kph). Forecasters now expect Delta to slam into beach resorts from Tulum to Cozumel with an extremely dangerous storm surge of up to 11 feet (3.3 meters) and even higher waves. And once it leaves Mexico, it\u2019s expected to regain Category 4 status over the Gulf as it approaches the U.S. coast, where landfall around Friday would be followed by heavy rainfall across the southeastern United States.<\/p>\n<p>BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) \u2014 A U.S. government watchdog agency is faulting the Trump administration\u2019s handling of a COVID-19 relief effort that awarded energy companies breaks on payments for oil and gas extracted from public lands in Western states in more than 500 cases. The Government Accountability Office said Tuesday that haphazard rules for the program left the administration unable to say how much relief was given or if it benefited taxpayers. The Bureau of Land Management gave breaks on royalty payments from companies in at least five states due to workforce problems or other issues after the pandemic shut down much of the economy. The Trump administration also gave breaks to companies that extract oil in the Gulf of Mexico but has refused to release details on that program.<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Trump administration has announced plans to sharply limit visas issued to skilled workers from overseas. Department of Homeland Security and Department of Labor officials said Tuesday that new rules will be issued soon to restrict the use of what&#8217;s known as the H-1B program. Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli said the new rules would affect about one-third of the applications for visas that allow people with college degrees to work in professional positions in the U.S. Cuccinelli says the program has been abused to allow companies to displace American workers with less expensive employees from overseas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(AP)\u00a0 A white police officer has been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of a Black man following a reported disturbance at a convenience store in a small East Texas town. The Texas Rangers say Jonathan Price was walking away from Wolfe City Police Officer Shaun Lucas Saturday night when Lucas opened fire, killing Price. The 22-year-old police officer was booked Monday into the Hunt County Jail. Bail is set at $1 million. It&#8217;s unclear if Lucas has a lawyer who can comment on his behalf. Family and friends of the 31-year-old Price say he was intervening in a domestic disturbance when he was shot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; RED FLAG WARNING CANCELLED Whenever a RED FLAG WARNING is triggered for\u00a0 Stutsman, Open Burning Ordinance burning restrictions to go into effect.\u00a0 The ordinance itself is in effect 365 days a year.\u00a0 However, the ordinance restricts burning only when the Fire Danger Rating for Stutsman County is in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":30054,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-209696","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\/209696","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=209696"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209696\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":209767,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209696\/revisions\/209767"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/30054"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=209696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=209696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=209696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
