\"\"Valley City (Chamber)\u00a0 On April 19, 2021 Valley City Mayor Dave Carlsrud has issued a new message to the community.<\/p>\n

Hi Folks,<\/p>\n

THANK YOU to all people who have been \u201cfront line workers\u201d during the battles with COVID-19.\u00a0A few occupations where people are exposed to the COVID are: clergy, healthcare, law enforcement and education.\u00a0If you meet people who serve in those or like professions, please say \u201cthank you\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you see someone without a smile, give him or her yours\u201d<\/p>\n

We have had people contact city employees and commissioners about issues with their neighbors.\u00a0One of the questions I try to ask is, \u201chave you visited with your neighbor about the issue\u201d?\u00a0Very often they have not!\u00a0Seminars on \u201cConflict Resolution\u201d tell us \u201ccommunication resolves conflict\u201d.\u00a0We don\u2019t have to be friends we just have to talk with each other. \u00a0Whenever resolution can be reached without a third party, it will be better.\u00a0If civil issues go to court, \u00a0generally both parties lose.\u00a0A friend of mine says, \u201cThe answer is usually somewhere in the middle\u201d. Be neighborly, who knows, visiting could begin a good relationship.<\/p>\n

Watch for the \u201cLongest Table Pilot Project\u201d to be followed by the \u201cLongest Table Project\u201d,\u00a0\u201cSummer Nights on Central\u201d and \u201cRally in the Valley\u201d coming soon.\u00a0For further information contact Andrea Nelson @ foundation@hellovalley.com<\/a> or Trinity Nelson @ vdgoffice@hellovalley.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Last week we talked about Missouri River Energy Services (MRES).\u00a0Have you thought about what our energy mix is?\u00a0Valley City\u2019s energy is 93% Carbon Free!\u00a0Our carbon footprint has been reduced by nearly 50% since 2005.\u00a0Please see the attached chart below.<\/p>\n

Though nearing the end of the session, there are still some legislative bills that could affect you.\u00a0Communicate with your legislators if you have questions.\u00a0See: https:\/\/www.legis.nd.gov\/assembly\/67-2021\/regular<\/a> to track bills.<\/p>\n

\"\"Jamestown\u00a0 (Kiwanis Club)\u00a0 With the help of the community, Jamestown Kiwanis has packaged more than 1 million meals for hungry families, rang bells for Salvation Army, supported student scholarships and delivered gifts to families in need at Christmas.<\/p>\n

Kiwanis Club President, Searle Swedlund says, \u201cKids need Kiwanis, especially after the year of our pandemic. And Kiwanis needs the community\u2019s support.\u201d<\/p>\n

To help finance its service projects, Jamestown Kiwanis holds its Pancake Day fundraiser once a year. The club raised about $9,500 in 2019. The club canceled Pancake Day in 2020 due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).<\/p>\n

The 2021 \u00a0Pancake Day is set for 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, May 3, at the Knights of Columbus Hall. Tickets are $8 for adults, $4 for children, $24 for family and preschool and under are free. If purchased in advance, bulk tickets are available for as little as $4 per person.<\/p>\n

Kiwanis Pancake Day Co-Chair, Toni Wegenast says, \u201cLike other nonprofits and service clubs, Kiwanis\u2019 canceled event left a void in the community. Now more than ever, we hope the community will support this cause and give back to organizations that really need it. Wegenast, Kiwanis Pancake Day is a great way to safely spend time with family and also support area nonprofits.\u201d<\/p>\n

She says, again this year, Hugo\u2019s Family Marketplace is sponsoring the event. That means every dollar raised is returned to the community.<\/p>\n

To ensure the safety of all guests, Kiwanis is limiting seating to 50% capacity and also offering an option for to-go meals.<\/p>\n

Searle points out, \u201cOur mission is kids,\u201d Swedlund said. \u201cOffering these COVID-friendly options ensures they all stay safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A man accused of using an ax to smash windows at the entrance of Republican North Dakota Sen. John Hoeven\u2019s office in downtown Fargo has pleaded guilty in federal court. Thirty-year-old Thomas Starks, of Lisbon, is charged with destruction of government property. Investigators say the damage exceeded $1,000. Prosecutors have not outlined a motive in court documents. Investigators say Starks can be seen in security video walking up some stairs toward the entrance of Hoeven\u2019s office. The video first shows him striking the intercom and security system and then hitting the windows with the ax. The plea agreement calls for prosecutors to recommend a sentence at the low end of the guideline range.<\/p>\n

\"\"Bismarck\u00a0 (CSi)\u2013 Gov. Doug Burgum Monday signed House Bill 1435, which will cover the cost of health insurance for surviving spouses and dependents of emergency responders who die in the line of duty.<\/p>\n

Joining Burgum at the official bill signing were Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, representatives of law enforcement, firefighters and other emergency responders, state legislators and Mandy Holte, wife of Grand Forks Police Officer Cody Holte, who was killed in the line of duty on May 27, 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cHouse Bill 1435 acknowledges the incredible sacrifices made by the family members of our courageous law enforcement officers, firefighters and other emergency responders every time their loved one walks out the door to go work,\u201d Burgum said. \u201cNow, along with thanking them with our words, we can show our gratitude with our actions. This bill ensures that the families of those emergency responders who make the ultimate sacrifice will have their health insurance costs covered. Just as emergency responders protect and care for the health, safety and well-being of our communities, we can show we care by taking this one burden off of their plate when the unthinkable happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

House Bill 1435 requires the North Dakota Public Employees Retirement System (NDPERS) board to offer health and pharmacy insurance coverage at no cost to the surviving spouse and dependents of an emergency responder who dies in the line of duty. Under the bill, \u201cemergency responder\u201d includes a peace officer, member of a correctional facility staff, emergency medical services personnel or firefighter who is employed by the state, a political subdivision of the state or an institution under the control of the state Board of Higher Education. The bill has a retroactive application date of Jan. 1, 2010.<\/p>\n

The bill passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, 75-18 in the House and 43-4 in the Senate. It was introduced by Rep. Zachary Ista of Grand Forks and co-sponsored by Reps. Mary Adams, Ron Guggisberg, Pat Heinert, Mike Lefor, Corey Mock, Emily O\u2019Brien, Matt Ruby and Steve Vetter and Sens. JoNell Bakke, Curt Kreun and Scott Meyer.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Gov. Doug Burgum has signed bipartisan legislation that will cover the cost of health insurance for the surviving spouses and children of emergency responders killed in the line of duty. The bill is sponsored by Grand Forks Democrat Rep. Zac Ista. It covers law enforcement, corrections officers, firefighters and other public-employed emergency workers. Ista says 17 other states, including neighboring Minnesota, offer similar benefits to surviving families. The legislation is retroactive to 2010. Burgum says five law enforcement officers have died in the line of duty since that time, and more than 60 have been killed since statehood.<\/p>\n

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 A prosecutor says Derek Chauvin \u201chad to know\u201d he was squeezing the life out of George Floyd as the Black man cried out over and over that he couldn\u2019t breathe. Closing arguments began at Chauvin\u2019s murder trial with the prosecution hoping to convince the jury that Chauvin squeezed the life from George Floyd as he and two other officers pinned him to the street for 9 minutes, 29 seconds, outside a corner market. Chauvin removed his COVID-19 mask in front of the jury for one of the very few times during the trial as his lawyer, Eric Nelson, reminded jurors that Chauvin is presumed innocent and saying the state didn’t prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecutors say Chauvin’s actions were reckless, unreasonable and warrant conviction.<\/p>\n

(AP) Alaska prison authorities say inmates who have been fully vaccinated will be able to receive visitors starting this week. The Department of Corrections says visitation will begin Wednesday by appointment statewide, except for at facilities in Anchorage and Ketchikan after spikes in coronavirus cases. No physical contact will be allowed, and face masks must be worn. Lobbies at corrections institutions will also reopen to visitors for business such as refilling prisoners\u2019 commissary accounts. That will also be by appointment. Corrections Commissioner Nancy Dahlstrom says, \u201cWe appreciate everyone\u2019s patience and flexibility as we gradually restore our facilities to their pre-COVID operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Supreme Court says it will not hear a case out of Pennsylvania related to the 2020 election, a dispute that had lingered while similar election challenges had already been rejected by the justices. The high court directed a lower court to dismiss the case as moot. The justices had in February, after President Joe Biden\u2019s inauguration, rejected a handful of cases related to the 2020 election. In the case the court rejected Monday, however, the court had called for additional briefing that was not complete until the end of March. The case involved a federal court challenge to a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision requiring election officials to receive and count mailed-in ballots that arrived up to three days after the election.<\/p>\n

JERUSALEM (AP) \u2014 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is threatening to sue his predecessor, Ehud Olmert, for defamation. Netanyahu is reportedly seeking over $300,000 in damages if Olmert does not apologize for saying the Israeli leader\u2019s family suffers from mental illness. A Netanyahu family spokesman confirmed Monday that they had sent Olmert a letter warning of the possible defamation lawsuit. Olmert showed no signs of backing down on Monday. He told an Israeli TV station: \u201cThe time has come to tell this family: that\u2019s enough.\u201d Olmert stepped down in 2009 before he was indicted on corruption charges that later sent him to prison. Netanyahu currently is on trial for corruption charges.<\/p>\n

CUT OFF, La. (AP) \u2014 U.S. Coast Guard says the search for crew members who disappeared when a lift boat capsized off Louisiana will be suspended at sunset Monday. The Coast Guard does not expect to find more survivors from the vessel. The grim news comes after days of searching for the missing workers from the oil industry lift boat Seacor Power, which capsized Tuesday during a fierce storm in the Gulf of Mexico south of Port Fourchon. Six of the 19 workers on the boat were rescued within hours of the wreck; five more bodies were found in the water. Eight remain missing.<\/p>\n

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 A former employee who fatally shot eight people at a FedEx facility in Indianapolis never appeared before a judge for a hearing under Indiana\u2019s \u201cred flag\u201d law. Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said Monday that authorities believed they had done what they needed to by seizing the pump-action shotgun from Brandon Scott Hole in March 2020. They responded to the home after his mother called police to say her son might commit \u201csuicide by cop.” Mears said if they had invoked the red flag law and lost, they would have had to return the gun to Hole, and \u201cthat’s not something we were willing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

(AP)\u00a0 Stocks were broadly lower in afternoon trading on Monday, easing off of their latest record highs from last week.

Earnings are front and center, as investors look to justify the recent rise in stock prices with the profits needed to keep the market fueled in this recovery.
