Jamestown  (CSi)  At the November,  the Jamestown Stutsman Development Corporation (JSDC) Board of Directors unanimously approved Flex PACE funding for a project in Pingree.

On Tuesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2 JSDC, CEO, Connie Ova said, the request comes from Premier Ag Solutions located near Pingree, that is developing an expansion and relocating to a new building to be constructed, north of Pingree on Highway 281.

Connie pointed out that because the majority of  Flex PACE projects have been located in Stutsman County, and JSDC needs to request additional funding from the county instead of the City of Jamestown.

In other business the JSDC Board approved members of the board, to take office in January.

Connie added that progress continues with the soybean processing plant, and greenhouse facility coming soon, to the Spiritwood Energy Park.

Carrington  Effective Tuesday, November 10th, the City of Carrington has implemented an Emergency Order “necessary to protect both individuals and businesses due to COVID-19.”

“Due to the increase in the number of positive COVID-19 cases being reported in Carrington and Foster County, additional safety measures are being enacted in order to protect the public,” Mayor Tom Erdmann stated.

WEARING OF FACE COVERINGS – When Required.

Face coverings are required for all public facing retail and service employees, including liquor and eating establishments, while the employee may come in contact with the general public.

The general public is required to wear face coverings whenever they are out and about in our City where this is one or more other individuals present. A face covering shall mean a paper or two-layered cloth face mask or face shield that covers the nose and mouth completely. Any employee or person who is unable to wear a mask or other face covering because of a medical condition shall be exempt.

This mandate is requesting all individuals to wear face coverings while in public to further prevent, control or reduce the spread of COVID-19 and all businesses are being asked to require face coverings for the general public entering their establishment.

Effective Date and Term. This emergency measures shall take effect immediately as of November 10, 2020, for a period of 30 days and may be further extended or earlier terminated, as the case may be, upon action of the City Council.

Erdmann states that, “we hope that this face covering measure will help control the spread of COVID-19 in our community and is meant to encourage residents to accept personal responsibility to protect themselves and fellow Carrington/Foster County residents. Stronger and more measures, including business closures, could be enacted if we do not do our part to stop or slow of the spread of this highly contagious virus.”

In addition to this face covering mandate, Erdmann is recommending following Governor Burgum’s recommended steps to help ease the burden on our health care facilities by urging everyone to continue with; Physical/Social Distancing, Seeking regular routine outpatient care, Washing hands, Avoiding or eliminating opportunities for mask-less crowding in public or private businesses, Getting Flu immunizations and Limiting all private social gatherings to the immediate household.

Currently, there have been 250 total COVID-19 cases in Carrington and Foster County, with 53 still active. During the month of October we had 128 new cases and as of November 9th we have seen another 55 new cases.

The average age, when totaling the 250 cases is at 44.27 years of age, so are seeing more cases with our younger generations, thus the need to call for this Executive Order.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A federal judge has struck down North Dakota’s law targeting the practice of disguising caller ID numbers. U.S. District Judge Daniel Traynor says the so-called anti-spoofing law is unconstitutional because it intrudes on interstate commerce regulation, a power reserved for Congress. The state Legislature passed the law last year because of complaints about harassing and scam phone calls. Traynor ruled that because of cell phones and technology such as call-forwarding, the law has the practical effect of regulating interstate commerce because it’s impossible to determine whether the person receiving the call is physically in North Dakota.

 

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Bail was set at $1.5 million for a North Dakota man accused of wounding two police officers in eastern Wisconsin. Twenty-three-year-old Nathanael Benton, of Fargo, is charged in Waukesha County Circuit Court with two counts of attempted first-degree intentional homicide/use of a dangerous weapon as well as possession of a firearm by an out-of-state felon. The officers, one from Delafield and one from Hartland, were shot Friday in Waukesha County, about 27 miles west of Milwaukee. Police chiefs in both the communities have declined to identify the officers, both of whom suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries. The shooting set off a nine-hour manhunt for Benton.

In world and national news…

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — President-elect Joe Biden is promising that “we’re going to get right to work” and is downplaying concerns that President Donald Trump’s refusal to acknowledge his victory could undermine national security. Trump has blocked his Democratic rival from receiving the intelligence briefings traditionally shared with incoming presidents, according to someone with knowledge of the situation but not authorized to disclose private conversations. Asked about the Republican resistance on Tuesday, Biden said it “does not change the dynamic at all in what we’re able to do.” He said additional intelligence briefings “would be useful,” but “We don’t see anything slowing us down, quite frankly.”

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has created a new leadership PAC as he continues to refuse to concede the election to to President-elect Joe Biden. Paperwork for the Save America political action committee was filed with the Federal Election Commission on Monday evening. Campaign emails soliciting money for the president’s “OFFICIAL ELECTION DEFENSE FUND!” now direct to a website that shows contributions will now be split among Save America, the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee. And 60% of each contribution will go to Save America, up to $5,000. The committee will allow Trump to maintain his political influence even after he leaves office.

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — A more conservative Supreme Court appears unwilling to do what Republicans have long desired — kill off the Affordable Care Act. That includes its key protections for pre-existing health conditions and subsidized insurance premiums that affect tens of millions of Americans. The justices met a week after the election and remotely in the midst of a pandemic that has closed their majestic courtroom to hear the highest-profile case of the term so far. They took on the latest Republican challenge to the law known as “Obamacare,” with three appointees of President Donald Trump, an avowed foe of the health care law, among them.

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense officials say a Trump loyalist and former Fox News commentator has been moved in to the Pentagon’s top policy job, just a few months after he failed to get through Senate confirmation because of offensive remarks he made, including about Islam. Officials say Anthony Tata, a retired Army one-star general, will be performing the duties of the undersecretary for defense policy. James Anderson, who had been acting undersecretary, resigned on Tuesday, a day after President Donald Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper. Officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss personnel issues.

 

O’FALLON, Mo. (AP) — Twenty-eight employees of the election board in one of Missouri’s largest counties are sick with the coronavirus. A director believes they most likely got infected from voters, though local health officials aren’t convinced. The Jackson County Election Board’s Republican director, Tammy Brown, said Tuesday that eight full-time and 20 part-time employees have tested positive for the coronavirus. Most are doing well and recovering at home, but two part-time workers are hospitalized, including one in intensive care. Brown says thousands of voters came into the offices to pick up absentee and mail-in ballots, vote, and to drop off ballots. The employees also worked a drive-thru line for voters with the coronavirus and people in quarantine.
