We conduct hazardous materials training together each year for the safety of our operations and employees. We also have several employees who are current or retired volunteered firefighters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the Jamestown Fire Department has already received the new ladder truck, they are still in need of community support to help offset the cost to taxpayers. The ladder truck cost $1 million and the goal is to have a third of the cost paid by local donors and businesses.<\/p>\n<p>City Fire Chief Jim Reuther says, \u201cI want to thank Cavendish Farms for their generous donation. It helps us get closer to covering the cost of this critical piece of equipment.\u00a0 We\u2019re hoping additional community partners will join with Cavendish Farms to show their support for the work we do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Urquhart adds, \u201cWe encourage other organizations and groups to support this fundraising drive for the good of our entire community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>About Cavendish Farms Cavendish Farms produces quality frozen potato and appetizer products for the North American and international food industry, supplying customers in the retail and restaurant sectors.

With your efforts our COVID Numbers reached a point where the Governor declared North Dakota is now at the Green Risk Level. Great job everyone! That we are \u201cGreen\u201d, more opportunities are available to us such as greater seating capacities in restaurants, bars and large venues. That said, how about checking activities schedules at VCPS, St. Catherine\u2019s and VCSU. There are still some ballgames to be played and perhaps it would work out for you to give the kids a \u201cboost\u201d by your attendance where allowed.<\/p>\n<p>The other day I drove for one of our local car dealerships. Did you know our local dealers would search for nearly any kind of vehicle for which you may be looking? Stop in and check them out \u2026\u2026 \u201cGive it a shot\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Barnes County is in a good position with COVID as of this writing.

(AP) \u2014 The North Dakota House has endorsed a bill requiring the state\u2019s courts to seal drunk driving records if the offender has stayed out of trouble for at least seven years. Representatives voted 89-3 on Monday to approve the bill that backers said was aimed at giving convicted drunken drivers who stay out of trouble better odds of getting a job. Devils Lake Republican Rep. Dennis Johnson also sponsored successful legislation two years ago that sealed the court records of convicted first-time drunken drivers who aren\u2019t charged with another DUI or any other crime for seven years. Johnson says the latest legislation is retroactive.<\/p>\n<p>BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The North Dakota Legislature is considering a measure that requires the state\u2019s health officer to be a practicing licensed physician. The Republican-backed bill comes after a trio of health officers hand-picked by Gov. Doug Burgum quit during a time the coronavirus pandemic was worsening. Dirk Wilke, who has no medical training, has been the interim state health officer since September. A spokesman for Burgum says a new health officer will be hired soon, and the \u201ccandidate\u201d is a physician from out of state. The state health officer oversees the Department of Health and implements state laws governing the department.<\/p>\n<p>OMAHA, Neb. (AP) \u2014 A new monthly survey shows continued economic improvement in nine Midwest and Plains states, but business leaders indicated the coronavirus pandemic is still hurting business. The overall index for the region in January suggests improved growth, coming in at at a strong 67.3 from December\u2019s 64.1. Any score above 50 on the survey\u2019s indexes suggests growth, while a score below 50 suggests recession. Creighton University economist Ernie Goss oversees the survey. He estimated a rosier economic outlook in the coming months, citing an increase in the survey&#8217;s confidence index. The monthly survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.<\/p>\n<p>BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota energy officials are reporting that 2,100 gallons of oil and 12,600 gallons of produced water released at a well near Parshall has been recovered. State Oil and Gas Division officials say EOG Resources, Inc. reported the spill on Sunday. Officials say it was released due to an equipment failure within the containment system. Produced water is a byproduct of oil extraction and is typically taken from the well to a disposal site. A state inspector has been sent to site to investigate and monitor the well.<\/p>\n<p>In world and national news&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 A sprawling, lumbering winter storm is walloping the Eastern U.S., shutting down coronavirus vaccination sites, closing schools and halting transit. Snow piled up Monday from the Appalachians to New England, with the heaviest weather yet to come in many places. With flakes falling since Sunday evening, New York City and northern New Jersey braced for as much as 22 inches of snow, and parts of New England for a foot or more. The National Weather Service warned that high winds winds and snowfall could persist into Tuesday in New York and Wednesday in New England.<\/p>\n<p>(AP) The White House is tamping down expectations for a potential boost in vaccine distribution if Johnson &amp; Johnson\u2019s COVID-19 shot is approved by federal regulators. The White House\u2019s deputy COVID-19 coordinator Andy Slavitt tells reporters that the single-dose shot would undoubtedly help the Biden administration meet its goal of 300 million vaccinated Americans by the end of summer. But he says: \u201cThe expectation should not be that there\u2019s an immediate, dramatic shift.\u201d The pharmaceutical company reported strong results for the efficacy of its vaccine on Friday and is expected to file for emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(AP) Only a little more than a third of nursing home workers have been getting shots against COVID-19 when the vaccinations are first offered. That&#8217;s according to a new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report Monday. It&#8217;s a national accounting of a problem that\u2019s been noted anecdotally \u2014 many nursing home workers are not getting vaccinated. The CDC looked at more than 11,000 nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities that had at least one vaccination clinic between the middle of December and the middle of January. A CDC expert says more staffers do get vaccinated when a second or third clinic is held at a nursing home.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) \u2014 The deadliest month of the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. has drawn to a close with certain signs of progress: COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are plummeting, while vaccinations are picking up speed. The question is whether the the nation can stay ahead of the fast-spreading mutations of the virus. The U.S. death toll has climbed past 440,000, with over 95,000 lives lost in January alone. Deaths are running at about 3,150 per day on average, down slightly, by about 200, from their peak in mid-January.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Joe Biden is threatening new sanctions on Myanmar after its military staged a coup and arrested the civilian leaders of its government, including Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi. Biden assailed the country\u2019s army for the coup, calling it a \u201cdirect assault on the country\u2019s transition to democracy and rule of law.\u201d Myanmar has been a Western democracy promotion project for decades and had been a symbol of some success. But over the past several years, there have been growing concerns about its backsliding into authoritarianism. Disappointment with Suu Kyi has run high, especially over her resistance to reining in repression of Rohingya Muslims.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>MOSCOW (AP) \u2014 Moscow is bracing for more protests seeking the release of jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who faces a court hearing Tuesday. Tens of thousands filled the streets across the vast country Sunday for a second straight weekend calling for his freedom, with thousands of arrests in the largest outpouring of discontent in Russia in years. They chanted slogans against President Vladimir Putin. Navalny was jailed last month and faces years in prison. A human rights group says over 5,400 protesters were detained, and some were beaten. One of those taken into custody for several hours was Navalny\u2019s wife, Yulia, who was ordered to pay a fine of about $265 for participating in an unauthorized rally.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(AP)\u00a0 The Congressional Budget Office expects the U.S. economy will grow at a robust 4.6% annual rate this year, but that employment won&#8217;t return to pre-pandemic levels until 2024. The 10-year outlook issued Monday said the economic recovery from the coronavirus has been boosted by an unprecedented wave of government spending to combat the outbreak. While the growth estimates suggest a quick snapback in gross domestic product, the CBO shows that hiring will lag as consumer spending returns and employers become more comfortable with adding workers. The CBO projected an average of 521,000 jobs will be added monthly this year, a pace that would fall to 145,000 in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; ..DENSE FOG ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON CST \/11 AM MST\/ TUESDAY&#8230; * WHAT&#8230;Visibility one quarter mile or less in dense fog.
