The Senate approved the bill 41-6 on Wednesday. The House passed the bill 77-17 last month. Republican Sen. Jerry Klein says about 30 states have passed similar legislation. The move by the states came after a federal proposal led by Senate Republicans failed to win approval last year. Officials representing business and hospital groups spoke in favor of the legislation, while some attorneys and a union leader opposed it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-39474\" src=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/JAGST-1a1-300x202.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" \/>Jamestown\u00a0 (JAGST)\u00a0 \u00a0Jamestown Area Grief Support Team is offering a grief support group for anyone who is grieving the loss of someone important to them, whether the loss is recent or from years past.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Diane Witzig said, the group will meet once a week at 1:00 p.m. at the United Presbyterian\u00a0 Church, 302 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Ave SE in Jamestown <strong>beginning on Tuesday, April 13<sup>th<\/sup>, 2021 and will run for 6 weeks.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>She pointed out, In his book, <em>Understanding Your Grief, <\/em>internationally recognized expert in the field of loss and grief, Dr. Alan Wolfelt states, <em>\u201cYou can benefit from a connectedness that comes from people who have also had a death in their lives.\u00a0 Support groups, where people come together and share the common bond of experience, can be invaluable in helping you and your grief and supporting your need to mourn long after the event of the death\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In our fast paced society, people who have had a significant loss are often expected to be \u2018over it\u2019 in a matter of a few weeks.\u00a0 They may even expect this of themselves.\u00a0 In reality, it may take years for someone to work through his or her grief.\u00a0 The support group experience allows individuals to express grief in their own unique way and on their own unique timetable.<\/p>\n<p>Diane added that the JAGST Support Group is free of charge, however, participants are asked to register to ensure that enough materials are available.\u00a0 Participants should plan to attend all six sessions.

(AP) \u2014 North Dakota\u2019s Republican-led Legislature is considering giving $10 million to a Minot intermodal rail facility. It&#8217;s a move backers say will reduce shipping costs and increase markets for the state\u2019s farm products and other commodities. Opponents argue the funding proposed for the long-troubled and financially distressed facility is nothing more than a taxpayer bailout for banks, one of which is partly owned by Republican U.S. Sen. John Hoeven. The legislation seeks to provide $1.8 million for track improvements and $8.2 million that would be funneled to a trio of banks that acquired the facility through foreclosure.<\/p>\n<p>WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The last remaining building at what was once considered one of the major stockyards in the Midwest has been burned and bulldozed. A contractor on Wednesday conducted a controlled burn of the livestock building at the site of the operation that began as West Fargo Union Stockyards. The West Fargo Fire Department stood by as a precaution. City historians say the stockyards opened in 1935 and by the 1970s was the 10th largest livestock market in the United States. The adjoining meatpacking plant closed its doors in 1999. The stockyards remained open until last year and the property was sold to a developer.<\/p>\n<p>In world and national news&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) \u2014 Hundreds of schools, COVID-19 vaccination clinics, businesses and more are shutting down across the Deep South as forecasters warn of waves of severe weather including massive tornadoes, downpours and hail the size of tennis balls. The weather service says roughly 16 million people in the Southeast could see powerful storms Wednesday afternoon through early Thursday. And a region of nearly 3 million stretching from southeastern Arkansas and northeastern Louisiana across Mississippi into Alabama was at particular risk for big twisters that stay on the ground for miles. A possible tornado knocked down trees and power lines and damaged a home in rural west Alabama.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 The Movement for Black Lives, a coalition of organizations, reaffirmed its solidarity with Asian American and Asian immigrant communities following the shootings at three Atlanta-area massage parlors that killed eight. Leaders in the coalition also issued a warning about demagogues who they say continue to use the coronavirus pandemic and economic uncertainty as leverage for drumming up fears about the Asian American and Asian immigrant communities. A white man is accused in the killings and most of the victims are women of Asian descent. Following the release Wednesday of its report showing a surge in the distribution of white supremacist propaganda in 2020, the Anti-Defamation League told The Associated Press a significant number of the propaganda included anti-immigrant rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Federal Reserve foresees the economy accelerating quickly this year but still expects to keep its benchmark interest rate pinned near zero through 2023, despite rising concerns in financial markets about potential higher inflation. The Fed also said Wednesday that it foresees the economy growing at a 6.5% pace this year, up from a previous projection in December of 4.2%. It also expects inflation to reach 2.4% in 2021, above its target of 2%, but expects inflation to fall back to around 2% in 2022. The central bank also said it would continue to buy $120 billion in bonds each month to keep longer-term borrowing costs down.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(AP)\u00a0 Stock indexes picked up Wednesday after the Federal Reserve issued a statement saying it expects to keep its key interest rate near zero through 2023. The central bank\u2019s renewed commitment to keeping rates at rock bottom lows comes even as it forecasts the economy will accelerate this year. Wall Street has been anxious about the potential for higher inflation and has been looking for signs that the central bank shares investors\u2019 concerns. The S&amp;P 500 index was up 0.3%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.6% and the technology-heavy Nasdaq was gained 0.2%. The 10-year Treasury yield hit 1.65% versus 1.62% the day before. It\u2019s now the highest since January 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Treasury Department says it has sent out 90 million economic impact payments totaling $242 billion since President Joe Biden signed a $1.9 trillion pandemic relief plan last week. The bulk of those payments were made by the IRS as direct deposits. Officials said Wednesday that recipients started to see the payments showing up in their bank accounts last weekend. In addition, Treasury has mailed out roughly 150,000 checks worth about $442 million. Processing of the payments began last Friday, the day after Biden signed the American Rescue Plan.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 With a nod to Women\u2019s History Month, the Democratic-led House is on course to pass two measures Wednesday, one designed to protect women from domestic violence, the other to remove the deadline for states to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. The latter measure has passed by a vote of 222-204. Both measures face a more difficult path in an evenly divided Senate. The White House has announced its support for the bill that would reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act. It aims to reduce domestic and sexual violence and improve the response to it through a variety of grant programs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(AP)\u00a0 Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock has used his first floor speech on Capitol Hill to blast a wave of Republican-backed measures that would make it harder to cast ballots in many states. Warnock is Georgia&#8217;s first Black senator, and his election helped secure Democrats&#8217; Senate majority. In his speech Wednesday, he noted the country\u2019s history of allowing voter suppression against minorities and the poor, and he warned that some Republican lawmakers are trying to reopen those chapters with \u201cdraconian\u201d restrictions he cast as a reaction against Democratic victories like his. Warnock says, \u201cWe are witnessing right now a massive and unabashed assault on voting rights and voter access unlike anything we have seen since the Jim Crow era.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; TONIGHT&#8230;Mostly clear.
