Listen to Thurs. Oct 29 Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2 for comments, from Mayor Heinrich, and more detailed information on his Emergency Order.
Jamestown (CSi) Effective Friday, October 30, 2020, the City of Jamestown will implement an Emergency Order necessary to protect both individuals and businesses due to COVID-19.
Mayor Dwaine Heinrich states “due to the increase in the number of positive COVID-19 cases being reported in Jamestown, additional safety measures are being enacted in order to protect the public.”
Safety Measures include:
- Face coverings are required for all public facing retail and service employees, including liquor and eating establishments, while employees may come in contact with the general public. Additionally, all businesses are urged to require face coverings of the general public when entering the establishment
- The City is requiring that for any gathering or 50 or more people that a plan be submitted to the City that details how the event will keep the public safe. This plan will need to include the contact name, email address, and/or text number of the organizer, location of the event, and the details, including a diagram or narrative on how the event will be set up in a safe manner, and the number of people expected to attend the event. The event organizer should indicate that they have reviewed the ND Smart Restart Large Group Gatherings information at:
https:/ndresponse gov’sites/www.ntes documents/covid. 19/ND% 20Smart 2ORestart/arge Gatherngs/SmartRestart Gatherings.pdf
Event organizers will be asked to keep track of the attendance at the gathering so attendees can be notified if a positive case is found to have attended the event of purposes of contact tracing later. This plan should be submitted to give sufficient time for at least a 48 hour review. The plan will automatically approve unless denied within 48 hours of submission of the plan.
A large group gathering is any public or private event bringing people together in a room or confined space (whether indoor or outdoor) at the same time. This does not include religious services, including weddings and funerals, but does include wedding receptions and funeral receptions. This excludes K-12 school activities and sporting events as those events are governed by North Dakota High School Activity Association guidelines. Also excluded are University of Jamestown activities and sporting events
Mayor Heinrich states: “We hope that these measures will help control the spread of COVID-19 in our community and mean to encourage residents to accept personal responsibility to protect our fellow Jamestown residents.” Mayor Heinrich also states. “Stronger measures, including business closures, could be enacted if we don’t do our part to stop the spread.”
The 14-day positivity rate in the community is increasing. Stutsman County saw a high rate of positivity at 6.4% in prior weeks, but soon decreased to 1.3% and is now going back up. It’s currently at a rate of 5.0 percent.
Central Valley Health District, Administrator, Robin Iszler reports on Wednesday that the NDDoH report of 37 new positive COVID-19 cases is the correct number.
She added, from the Friday October 23 Jamestown Testing event, there were 36 positives from the 250 tests given. Additional positive results are added to the daily numbers each day as they are received, including tests given at congregate living facilities.

Bismarck – The Legislative Budget Committee approved the application deadline for the COVID-19 PACE Recovery II (CPR II) program to November 30, 2020. They also added $20 million to assist businesses with interest payments accrued between April 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020. The program is funded by CARES Act dollars assigned to Bank of North Dakota.
North Dakota business owners may work with their local lender to apply for funding of up to $50,000 that covers the accrued interest payments. The funds do not need to be repaid.
Business owners will be asked to submit comparable revenue between April 1-Sept. 30, 2019, and the same time period in 2020. Upon closure of the application period, BND will apply a formula to award the funds that ensures businesses with the largest percentage decrease in revenue will benefit. The awards will be given based on that percentage until they have been expended.
As of October 27, 394 applications to the CPR II program for $10.5 million have been received. Two other programs, Small Employer Relief Fund (SELF) and COVID-19 PACE Recovery (CPR), are also accepting applications through November 30, 2020.
To date, the Bank has approved 778 loans for $26 million for the SELF program and 185 loans for $22.8 million for the CPR program.
“Our lending partners are encouraged to submit as many applications as possible by November 13 so we can better assess the total amount of dollars that business owners can utilize,” stated Eric Hardmeyer, president/CEO of BND. “We appreciate the critical role they play in delivering these programs to assist their customers.”
For more details on both COVID-19 PACE Recovery Loan Programs, visit www.bnd.nd.gov/business.
BISMARCK, N.D. – The North Dakota Department of Commerce has announced the second round of the Economic Resiliency Grant (ERG) also known as the Hospitality ERG.
Due to the continuing need of assistance, the second round of the ERG will focus on reimbursing hospitality businesses that were directly impacted by Executive Order 2020-06. This includes all restaurants, bars, breweries, cafes and similar on-site dining establishments.
Additionally, the Hospitality ERG will also focus on businesses affected by the closures such as theaters, music and entertainment venues, and professional production companies that support major venue meetings and events.
“The hospitality industry has been one of our hardest-hit economic sectors from a national to local level,” Gov. Doug Burgum said. “We’re grateful to the Emergency Commission and the Legislature’s Budget Section for approving this much-needed relief for these businesses – which are vital for employment, tourism and the quality of life for our residents – as they do their part to slow the spread of COVID-19.”
Commerce was approved by the Emergency Commission to use the remaining ERG funds estimated to be approximately $25 million and an additional $29 million for the Hospitality ERG to support more than 3,000 food service, drinking establishment, entertainment venues and professional production companies operating in North Dakota.
“Many hospitality and supporting businesses continue to experience dramatic declines in revenue,” Interim Commerce Commissioner Shawn Kessel said. “We hope that the second round of ERG will help businesses survive and stay-open in the midst of the pandemic.”
Hospitality ERG funds will be used to reimburse eligible entities for costs in operations, such as payroll, rent, utilities, personal protective equipment (PPE), technology; and other expenses that comply with federal guidelines.
Applicants may receive up to $25,000 and eligible entities with multiple locations may receive up to $75,000. A max of $25,000 will be allowed per location. Grant recipients are required to comply with ND Smart Restart protocols.
Applications are expected to open the week of Nov. 16 and will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis. Funding will be approved if the application meets all criteria and funding is available. Additional information will soon be available at belegendary.link/ERG.
BISMARCK, N.D., Oct. 28, 2020 – State School Superintendent Kirsten Baesler on Wednesday announced $33.8 million in new aid for North Dakota’s schools, which may be spent on mental health support, technology, building ventilation improvements, and other needs arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The “resiliency grants” are the latest installment of a school pandemic aid package that has totaled almost $94 million to date. The sum includes $30.1 million that was distributed to schools in April; another $30 million endorsed by North Dakota lawmakers in September; and Wednesday’s approval of another $33.8 million in school assistance.
“The $94 million provided to schools by the state provides much-needed money for our teachers, and into the classrooms, where it can do the most good,” Baesler said.
Schools also may use the last two aid packages on a much broader range of needs, Baesler said. Originally, the $30 million September aid infusion could be spent only on school staffing expenses, such as salaries for increased custodial and public health needs.
“This money, and the flexibility in using it that the Legislature has provided, is especially welcome to our North Dakota schools,” Baesler said.
Baesler said the funds may be used to offer mental health counseling for students and staff; professional development for pandemic-related issues; to upgrade technology infrastructure, which is needed to improve schools’ ability to offer distance learning; and to improve school ventilation systems to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The money still may be used for personnel costs.
“I met with several local school administrators, and they indicated that technology and mental health supports were the most important priorities,” Baesler said. “There has been higher-than-expected demand on streaming, hardware capacity, bandwidth, and distance learning curriculum. The ability to provide meaningful distance learning is crucial to our students’ education.”
Each North Dakota public school district, regardless of size, will get at least $30,000 from the new $33.8 million aid package. Each district will also get about $251 per student. Under this formula, the Bismarck school district, for example, will get $3.42 million; Fargo, $2.91 million; West Fargo, $2.89 million; Minot, $1.96 million; and Grand Forks, $1.94 million.
In the area:
Jamestown $581,655
Valley City $304,705
Carrington $159,458
Oakes $156,698
New Rockford-Sheyenne $108,533
Medina $71,658
LaMoure $101,509
Kulm $61,623
Litchville-Marion $60,871
Pingree-Buchanan $65,135
Edgeley $88,465
The North Dakota Legislature’s Budget Section on Wednesday approved a request to allow the state Department of Public Instruction to allocate the $33.8 million to schools, and to provide added spending flexibility for the $63.8 million sum. The Budget Section is an interim committee that includes Republican and Democratic legislative leaders, and members of the state House and Senate appropriations committees.
The money comes from federal emergency pandemic aid that Congress approved in March. Some of that assistance was first allocated to other North Dakota agencies.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — An environmental group is asking Minnesota utility regulators to investigate Enbridge’s additions to its existing oil pipeline capacity which could make the company’s controversial new $2.6 billion pipeline unnecessary. A filing by the Indigenous organization Honor the Earth with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission says Enbridge made no mention of its capacity additions during hearings for the pipeline, a replacement for the aging Line 3, which runs from Alberta, Canada, to Enbridge’s terminal in Superior, Wisconsin. Tuesday’s PUC filing is the latest salvo in a six-year battle over the new pipeline.

MLB-WORLD SERIES-TURNER
MLB says Turner violated protocols when he returned to field
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Major League Baseball says Justin Turner risked the safety of others by violating coronavirus protocols when he celebrated the Los Angeles Dodgers’ World Series win with his teammates and refused instructions from security to leave Globe Life Field.
The commissioner’s office said Wednesday that it is starting a full investigation of the 35-year-old third baseman.
Turner was pulled from Tuesday night’s game following the seventh inning after MLB was notified that he had tested positive for COVID-19. Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said Turner was quarantined in a doctor’s office off to the side. But he later returned to the field and took down his mask to pose for a team photo on the field.
The commissioner’s office said it will consult with the players’ association as part of its investigation. The union was in the process of gathering facts on the events.
The Dodgers won their first World Series championship since 1988 with a 3-1 victory over Tampa Bay in Game 6 on Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, Blake Snell spent nearly 10 minutes discussing a disappointing end to the World Series before concluding with a message to the rest of the Tampa Bay Rays.
The 2018 AL Cy Young Award winner doesn’t want his teammates to be satisfied with finishing second to the Los Angeles Dodgers. He wants everyone to take some time off to wind down from the playoff run, then show up for spring training hungry and ready to finish the job next season.
Elsewhere in the majors:
— What figures to be a down and perhaps brutal market for baseball free agents in the offseason following the pandemic began Wednesday when a dozen players were told their contract options had been declined, among them St. Louis Cardinals Gold Glove second baseman Kolten Wong. The 30-year-old Wong will receive a $1 million buyout. Wong, a first-round pick in the 2011 draft, made his big league debut in 2013 and spent his first eight seasons with St. Louis. Wong hit. 265 with a homer and 16 RBIs in 53 games during the pandemic-shortened season.
— The Washington Nationals have declined 2021 club options on right fielder Adam Eaton and right-handed starter Aníbal Sánchez. The team also declined its part of mutual options for next season on infielder Howie Kendrick and first baseman Eric Thames. Those moves allow all four players to become eligible for free agency, although Kendrick said last month he wasn’t sure whether he would retire or try to play another year. Eaton, Sánchez and Kendrick were members of Washington’s 2019 championship team.
