Alton, President and CEO of SMP Health System, \u201cThe name change is part of an effort to update the branding of our system and its healthcare ministries in North Dakota to more clearly reflect our nature as a system as well as to emphasize our Catholic heritage having its source in the Sisters of Mary of the Presentation, who established their first hospital in ND in Bottineau in 1913.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to its North Dakota ministries, the name of SMP Health System will also change on October 1, to \u201cSMP Health.\u201d<\/p>\n Christianson, explains that SMP Health \u2013 St. Raphael will be under the patronage of Saint Raphael whose name has been adopted as part of the rebranding effort, adding, \u201cSheyenne Care Center actually chose St. Raphael as its patron saint when it joined SMP Health System in 2002. We later named the chapel in his honor, so we thought it fitting that he should be chosen as the new namesake for our ministry.\u201d<\/p>\n The significance of the name of St. Raphael for a long term care ministry is explained by J.T. Kennelly, SMP Health VP of Mission and Formation as follows:<\/p>\n St. Raphael is one of the three Archangels mentioned in the Scriptures, being a major character in the book of Tobit. Literally translated his name means, \u201cGod Heals.\u201d Among his many patronages, he is the patron saint of bodily ills, nurses, physicians and medical workers, which makes him a fitting patron saint for a health care ministry. In fact, Sheyenne Care Center chose him as its patron saint when it joined SMP Health System in 2002. It later named its chapel in his honor, making it all the more appropriate for us to choose him as the new namesake for the ministry.<\/p>\n SMP Health is a Catholic health care system with ten health care ministries located in North Dakota and Illinois with its central office in Fargo, ND. In central Illinois it operates a regional network, St. Margaret\u2019s Health, comprised of two hospitals and a home care agency.\u201d<\/p>\n From, Craig Christianson<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n THE O<\/strong>ATH <\/strong>\u00a0OF <\/strong>O<\/strong>FFICE WAS ADMINISTERED BY MAYOR\u00a0 CARLSRUD FOR <\/strong>P<\/strong>OLICE <\/strong>O<\/strong>FFICER <\/strong>J<\/strong>OSHUA <\/strong>R<\/strong>EIGN. <\/strong><\/p>\n Mayor Carlsrud recognized city employee Brenda Klein who has successfully completed her\u00a0 Certified City Auditor course.<\/p>\n A<\/strong>PPROVAL OF <\/strong>C<\/strong>ONSENT <\/strong>A<\/strong>GENDA <\/strong><\/p>\n Approved a Raffle Permit for District 24 Republicans for Drawing on December 18th, 2021.<\/p>\n Approved a \u00a0Parade Application for VCHS Homecoming Parade on September 24th, 2021 on Central Ave.<\/p>\n Public Comments<\/p>\n Valley City Public Schools Superintendent, Josh Johnson spoke and said\u00a0 Valley City Public Schools is still in the process of gathering input and exploring options on how to use $3.3 million dollars available in federal COVID-19, funding for the school district.\u00a0 He said community meetings will held as the school district is exploring whether the school district should renovate older facilities or build a new structure.

(AP) \u2014 The company that operates the Dakota Access oil pipeline wants the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse an appellate ruling ordering additional environmental review. Energy Transfer says the review puts the line at risk of being shut down. A Circuit Court of Appeals panel in D.C. earlier this year supported the Standing Rock Sioux and other tribes\u2019 argument that the project deserves a thorough environmental review and is currently operating without a key federal permit. The study will determine whether the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reissues a permit for the line to cross the Missouri River in south-central North Dakota.<\/p>\n GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A Grand Forks company has been awarded a $17 million Navy contract to build a ground support station to control unmanned aircraft and sensor system. The work by Ideal Aerosmith will enable mission planners to access classified and non-classified information from one place, including data from intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, or ISR, operations, like those flown out of the Grand Forks Air Force Base. Sen. John Hoeven, a member of the Senate Defense Appropriations Committee, as worked with Ideal Aerosmith and the Navy to secure the contract. Hoeven says the technology developed under this contract will help missions across the globe to be better informed, supporting the safety and effectiveness of servicemembers.<\/p>\n In world and national news…<\/p>\n NORTH PORT, Fla. (AP) \u2014 The FBI says a county coroner has confirmed that human remains found in remote northern Wyoming along the border of Grand Teton National Park are those of 22-year-old Gabby Petito. Her body was discovered at a Wyoming national park over the weekend, months after the pair set out on a cross-country road trip. Officials said Tuesday that the coroner determined her manner of death was homicide, but did not disclose a cause of death pending final autopsy results. Police in North Port, Florida, say investigators have returned to a swampy preserve area to look for 23-year-old Brian Laundrie.<\/p>\n WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Photos and video of a Border Patrol agent on horseback using his long leather reins to lash at Haitian migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border has prompted outrage from Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. While a day earlier he seemingly sought to explain away the action, Mayorkas said Tuesday he was \u201chorrified\u201d by photos that have spread widely on social media. They have drawn outrage from members of Congress, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Some of the mounted agents use their horses to forcibly move and block the migrants, almost seeming to herd them like animals, and taunt them in at least one instance. DHS says the incident is under investigation<\/p>\n <\/p>\n NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 The United Nations chief is warning global leaders at the opening of the U.N.’s foremost gathering that the world has never been more threatened and divided and \u201cwe face the greatest cascade of crises in our lifetime.\u201d Secretary-General Antonio Guterres rang the alarm in his annual state of the world speech. In his most dire assessment yet of the dangers the world faces, Guterres said, \u201cWe are on the edge of an abyss — and moving in the wrong direction.\u201d And he said: \u201cI\u2019m here to sound the alarm. The world must wake up.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n (AP)\u00a0 Progressive lawmakers have introduced a bill that would reimpose a nationwide eviction moratorium that lapsed last month. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri say their bill would direct the secretary of Health and Human Services to implement a ban on evictions in response to COVID-19. It would remain in effect until 60 days after a public health emergency is declared. The Supreme Court\u2019s conservative majority at the end of August allowed evictions to resume across the United States, blocking the Biden administration from enforcing a temporary ban that was put in place because of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n (AP)\u00a0 While there has been a decline in births in the U.S. during the pandemic, a new report suggests the drop may have turned a corner last March as births started rebounding. The report released Tuesday by the Census Bureau says the decline in births was most noticeable at the end of 2020 and beginning of 2021. But last March, births barely declined, only 0.15%, compared to March 2020, when the new coronavirus was declared a national emergency. Census Bureau demographer Anne Morse says the trend suggests some people who postponed having babies last year had them this year.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n (AP)\u00a0 U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is a no-go for launching billionaires into space. Guterres called out billionaires for joyriding into space while millions go hungry. In July, billionaires Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos flew into space, just missing orbit, on spaceships their companies built. Billionaire Jared Isaacman and three others returned from three days in orbit on Saturday. Unlike Branson and Bezos, Isaacman used his flight to help raise $200 million for a children’s cancer hospital. Guterres is likening billionaires in space to more Earth-bound maladies of loss of personal freedom, hopelessness and corruption.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CSi Weather… .TONIGHT…Mostly clear.
