(Prairie Public Radio) \u2013 The North Dakota House has passed the budget for the state\u2019s Commerce Department.<\/p>\n<p>Included in that is a potential $5 million grant for\u00a0 the Buffalo City Park in Jamestown.<\/p>\n<p>That park would be located with the display of the world\u2019s largest buffalo sculpture.<\/p>\n<p>The measure says local developers in Jamestown have to raise $5 million in seed money. And if it were raised, it would be matched with a $5 million grant. And then the project could be eligible for up to $60 million in funding from the proceeds of the Legacy Fund, if the state Invest Board approves.<\/p>\n<p>SB 2018l passed the House 58 to 35.

Doug Burgum announced Wednesday that he will lift North Dakota\u2019s COVID-19 emergency declaration<strong> on April 30<\/strong> as the state continues to shift the focus of its pandemic response efforts to increasing vaccination rates.<\/p>\n<p>Burgum <a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.nd.gov\/news\/updated-burgum-declares-state-emergency-response-coronavirus-k-12-guidance-issued\">declared a state of emergency<\/a> in response to COVID-19 on March 13, 2020, the same day then-President Donald Trump declared a national emergency and two days after North Dakota had confirmed its first case of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLifting this emergency declaration on April 30 recognizes the tremendous progress our state has made in protecting the most vulnerable, preserving hospital capacity and making safe, effective vaccines available to every eligible North Dakotan,\u201d Burgum said. \u201cNearly 70% of North Dakotans ages 65 years and older have received at least one dose of the vaccine and 64% are fully vaccinated, including over 90% of long-term care residents. Our vaccination efforts remain a top priority as another wave of COVID-19 continues to spread across the country and world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The State of North Dakota currently has no enforced business or event protocols related to COVID-19, though local measures or orders may still be in place. A statewide mask requirement, implemented by the state health officer with Burgum\u2019s support on Nov. 18 as hospitals and health care workers were overwhelmed with patients and COVID-related deaths were peaking, was lifted Jan. 18, making its 65-day duration the shortest among states that implemented such requirements.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNorth Dakota has relied heavily on individual responsibility and local control throughout our pandemic fight. Mitigation measures were deployed strategically and kept in place long enough for vaccines to be made available to every eligible citizen,\u201d Burgum said. \u201cOur vaccination efforts will continue stronger than ever, and we encourage those who haven\u2019t received the vaccine to consider getting it to protect themselves and their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Over 510,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in North Dakota, which has an estimated population of 762,000. More than 62% of North Dakotans ages 50 years or older have received at least one dose, and over 54% are fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the\u00a0emergency declaration is ending,\u00a0the virus is still present in our communities,\u201d Interim State Health Officer Dirk Wilke said.\u00a0\u201cWe encourage North Dakotans to keep using the tools that got us here: physical distancing, wearing\u00a0a mask when you can\u2019t distance, getting\u00a0tested and vaccinated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lifting the emergency declaration on April 30 will eliminate the remaining pandemic-related executive orders. The Unified Command will be decommissioned effective April 30, however National Guard resources will continue to be available to support the Department of Health and local public health vaccination and testing efforts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Waiting until April 30 to lift the declaration will allow the Legislature to pass pending legislation tied to pandemic-related executive orders that cut red tape and ensured assistance reached citizens, and will allow an orderly decommission of the Unified Command.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information on North Dakota\u2019s COVID-19 response, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.health.nd.gov\/coronavirus\">www.health.nd.gov\/coronavirus<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ndresponse.gov\">www.ndresponse.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>NDDoH<\/p>\n<p>COVID-19 Stats<\/p>\n<p>Wed.

(AP) \u2014 Gov. Doug Burgum has signed a landmark $680 million infrastructure bonding bill that will use earnings from North Dakota\u2019s multibillion-dollar oil piggybank to pay off the money. The bipartisan bill has highlighted North Dakota\u2019s legislative session and got wide support. The legislation represents the most amount of money borrowed in state history. It also has helped push the Legislature\u2019s proposed two-year budget to a record $15.8 billion, or about a billion dollars more than the current budget cycle that ends June 30. The legislation allots three-quarters of the bond money for flood-control projects in Fargo and Minot.<\/p>\n<p>KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) \u2014 A Wisconsin man accused of opening fire in a crowded bar faces multiple homicide counts. Kenosha County prosecutors charged 24-year-old Rakayo Vinson on Wednesday with three counts of first-degree intentional homicide and three counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide in the shooting early Sunday at the Somers House Tavern in the village of Somers. Authorities say Vinson got into a fight at the tavern, came back with a handgun and opened fire. Cedric Guston, Atkeem Stevenson and Kevin Donaldson were killed. Three others were hurt. Vinson would face life in prison if convicted on any of the counts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-97047\" src=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/GarlandMerrick-300x202.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/GarlandMerrick-300x202.jpg 300w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/GarlandMerrick-260x175.jpg 260w, http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/GarlandMerrick.jpg 445w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Attorney General Merrick Garland says the Justice Department is opening a sweeping investigation into policing practices in Minneapolis after the guilty verdict in George Floyd\u2019s death. Wednesday&#8217;s announcement came a day after ex-officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murder and manslaughter in Floyd\u2019s May 2020 death, setting off a wave of relief but also sadness across the country. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says city officials \u201cwelcome the investigation.\u201d Bystander video showed Floyd handcuffed behind his back and gasping repeatedly, \u201cI can\u2019t breathe,\u201d as Chauvin pressed his knee on or close to Floyd\u2019s neck for several minutes. Floyd&#8217;s death prompted mass protests against the police treatment of Black people.<\/p>\n<p>In world and national news&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) \u2014 Body camera video shows a Columbus officer fatally shoot a Black teenage girl who swung at two other people with a knife. A black-handled blade resembling a kitchen knife or steak knife appeared to be lying on the sidewalk next to her immediately after she was shot and fell. The girl was identified as 16-year-old Ma\u2019Khia Bryant, according to Franklin County Children Services, which said in a release that she was under the care of the agency at the time of her death. Police say Bryant was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. It&#8217;s unclear if anyone else was injured. The quick release of the footage is a departure from police protocol but comes amid heightened tension between Columbus police and the community they serve.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. (AP) \u2014 At least one law enforcement officer with a North Carolina sheriff&#8217;s department shot and killed a man while the department was executing a search warrant. The Pasquotank County Sheriff\u2019s Office says in a news release that the shooting happened Wednesday morning in Elizabeth City in the eastern part of the state. The races of the officers and man shot aren&#8217;t clear. A TV station reports that neighbors heard multiple shots fired. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation is looking into the shooting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(AP) Police say a man who killed a manager and wounded two workers Tuesday at a Long Island grocery store was a \u201ctroubled employee\u201d who\u2019d been reprimanded in recent months for threatening and sexually harassing colleagues. Police say Gabriel DeWitt Wilson, a shopping cart collector at Stop &amp; Shop in West Hempstead, opened fire in an office area above the retail floor about 40 minutes after talking to a manager about transferring to another store. Wilson was arraigned Wednesday on homicide and attempted murder charges and ordered jailed without bail. His lawyer said he&#8217;s still suffering the \u201clingering effects\u201d of being shot in the head when he was 19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; ..FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL INTO EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA THURSDAY AFTERNOON..THROUGH EARLY EVENING FOR WIND AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL INTO EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA&#8230;INCLUDES STUTSMAN, AND BARNES COUNTIES&#8230;.\u00a0 NOON TO 8-PM * WINDS&#8230;Southwest 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph.
