Update

FARGO (KFGO) – By emergency powers order, Mayor Tim Mahoney imposed a mask requirement Monday in Fargo, effective immediately.

It requires a face masks indoors at businesses and anywhere people are not able to properly social-distance. People living in the same household where those exposed to non-members of the household are included. The mandate does not have penalties for non-compliance.

The order allows for some exceptions, including children, younger than school age. Parents and guardians are urged to have children wear face masks, when and where possible.

Mayor Mahoney’s order is below –

Fargo Mayor Dr. Tim Mahoney has issued a Mayoral Mask Mandate within the City of Fargo utilizing emergency powers. This expands upon those orders declared on March 16, 2020 and subsequently extended by the Fargo City Commission on July 27, 2020. Several COVID-19 Trends and Developments in Cass County precipitated this mandate including, but not limited to:

Increased Hospitalizations
Increased Death Rate
Risk Level Escalation from Moderate (Yellow) to High (Orange)
High Level of Community Spread within Cass County
Contact Tracing Overwhelmed
Fargo Cass Public Health Board of Health Recommendation
Requests by 65 Pediatricians and the North Dakota Medical Association for a Mask Mandate
Increasingly Negative Impact on The City of Fargo’s Workforce (Infections + Close-Contacts)
Governor Burgum’s Recommendation for Local Control, as Necessary
The Mayoral Mask Mandate states: “Every person shall, within the city of Fargo, wear a face covering over the mouth and nose in all indoor environments where they are exposed to non-household members and where social distancing of six (6) feet or more cannot be assured and in all outdoor settings where there is exposure to non-household members, unless there exists ample space of six (6) feet or more to practice social distancing.
Although these measures are being mandated with the strongest possible recommendation, there is no penalty for non-compliance with this mandate.

This mandate shall take effect immediately and it shall remain in effect until the underlying state of emergency has ended unless it is sooner modified or terminated by the mayor or unless it is modified or terminated sooner by motion or resolution approved by the Fargo board of city commissioners.”

Mayor Mahoney remarked, “This is about science, not politics. This is our community’s health.”

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The mayor of North Dakota’s largest city says he would like to see a statewide mask mandate. Fargo Mayor Dr. Tim Mahoney has been largely supportive of the approach to the pandemic taken by Gov. Doug Burgum, who has left much of the policy making up to local leaders. But Mahoney says it would be difficult to enforce a mask mandate in Fargo if neighboring communities don’t follow suit and he cast the deciding vote against it at the last city commission meeting. He says “something dramatic” needs to be done in Fargo because positivity rates have been as high as 25% at some testing sites in the city and hospital capacity has dwindled down to critical levels.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s status as one of the hottest spots in the nation for the coronavirus has prompted some sharp questions about Republican Gov. Doug Burgum’s stressing individual responsibility over mandates and enforcement actions. Even some supporters of Burgum would like to see a tougher approach. Gus Ereth is a 71-year-old retired railroad worker. He says a mask mandate would help. He thinks Burgum is a lock for reelection next month and would like to see him be more aggressive against the virus even if it angers some conservatives. Burgum has said a mask mandate “is not a magic bullet to make this virus go away.”

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fargo has tested positive for COVID-19. KFGO radio reports Bishop John Folda had been showing symptoms associated with the coronavirus since early las week and was tested while self-quarantining at his home in Fargo. The diocese says Folda is recovering and is following all recommendations from medical professionals. He will continue to self-quarantine until he is cleared to return to his public pastoral duties. The diocese serves more than 130 parishes and 72,000 parishioners in eastern North Dakota.

Jamestown (Chamber) The chamber Young Professionals of Jamestown and the Chamber Ambassadors recently recognized Heartland Heating and Cooling as the October Business of the Month Award recipient for their outstanding customer service and continued commitment to the community.

The nomination stated, “My air conditioner quit working on a Friday after 4, I called several other businesses and they could not get me in until the following week. Called Heartland and they said they would be over in 20 minutes. Another example of their great customer care: I have been waiting almost a month to have a programmable thermostat installed, called them and they had it installed the next day by 9:30am”

The Young Professionals of Jamestown honor businesses that provide superior customer service, exhibit community spirit and provide a positive economic impact to the community. This award provides recognition throughout the month with a plaque and a recognition banner for the month. Monthly award winners will be considered for the Business of the Year to be awarded at the Chamber’s Annual Banquet in January of 2021.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin judge has reimposed an order from Gov. Tony Evers’ administration limiting the number of people who can gather in bars, restaurants and other indoor places to 25% of capacity. The capacity limits order was issued Oct. 6 in the face of surging coronavirus cases in Wisconsin. But a judge blocked the order Oct. 14 after Tavern League of Wisconsin challenged it, arguing the order amounts to a “defacto closure” order for the bars and restaurants it represents. Barron County Judge James Babler on Monday declined the Tavern League’s request to keep the ruling on hold while the lawsuit is pending.

In world and national news…

LAS VEGAS (AP) — President Donald Trump is trying to buck up his campaign staffers two weeks from Election Day as he campaigns in the West. He’s also dismissing the cautionary coronavirus advice of his scientific experts as well as polling that shows him trailing Democratic rival Joe Biden across key battleground states. Trump said during a conference call with campaign aides on Monday that he believes he’s going to win, allowing that he didn’t have that same sense of confidence two weeks ago when he was hospitalized with COVID-19. Trump blasted his government’s own scientists for their criticism of his handling of the coronavirus and called Dr. Anthony Fauci “a disaster.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden’s campaign says President Donald Trump is using staunch opposition to science as his “closing argument” as Election Day looms. During a campaign conference call Monday, Trump called Dr. Anthony Fauci “a disaster” and other top infectious-disease scientists “idiots.” The president blamed them for what he argued was the nation’s mismanagement of the coronavirus pandemic. The Democratic presidential nominee’s campaign noted that the pandemic has now killed nearly 220,000 Americans, seen more than 8 million confirmed coronavirus cases nationwide and cost millions of jobs. The campaign says, “Trump’s closing message in the final days of the 2020 race is to publicly mock Joe Biden for trusting science.”

CAIRO (AP) — President Donald Trump says Sudan will be removed from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism, a move that would open the door for the African country to get the international loans and aid that are essential for reviving its battered economy and rescue the country’s transition to democracy. The decision Monday was contingent on Sudan following through on its agreement to pay $335 million to U.S. terror victims and families. The decision, announced after Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin was in Bahrain to cement the Gulf state’s recognition of Israel, came as the Trump administration pursues further Arab recognition of Israel. Delisting Sudan from the state sponsors blacklist is a key incentive for the Sudanese government to normalize relations with Israel.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Six Russian military officers sought to disrupt through computer hacking the French election, the Winter Olympics and U.S. businesses. A Justice Department indictment details attacks on a broad range of political, financial and athletic targets. It accuses the defendants, all alleged officers in the Russian military agency known as the GRU, in destructive attacks on Ukraine’s power grid and in a hack-and-leak effort directed at the political party of French President Emmanuel Macron during the 2017 election. The indictment does not charge the defendants in connection with interference in American elections.

DENVER (AP) — A television station security guard accused of fatally shooting a pro-police demonstrator following opposing rallies has been charged with second-degree murder. The Denver’s district court clerk’s office said the charges were filed against Matthew Dolloff early Monday in the death of 49-year-old Lee Keltner. Dolloff was protecting a KUSA-TV producer at the time of the incident. The next hearing is set for Wednesday morning. No attorney has been listed for Dolloff yet in court records. People convicted of second-degree murder face a mandatory sentence of between 16 and 48 years in prison.
