(AP) Dr. Anthony Fauci says Americans can expect to see more children infected with the coronavirus as the highly transmissible delta variant extends its hold across the country. “Quantitatively, you will see more children in the hospital,” the government’s top infectious disease expert said at a coronavirus briefing. Fauci says at least 117 countries around the world are facing the delta variant, which is more than twice as transmissible than the previous strain of coronavirus. However, it’s still not clear whether the delta variant leads to more severe illness in children, Fauci says. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, says the best way to protect young children not yet eligible for vaccines is for their parents to get shots.

Jamestown (Chamber) Members of the Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassador Committee and the Young Professionals of Jamestown presented the Customer Service Award for August to Ashley Sliver for her outstanding customer service. The chamber honors individuals who demonstrate a consistent commitment to delivering products or services that satisfy customers by exceeding their requirements or expectations.

Her nomination letter said, “I am nominating Ashley not only for amazing patience and kindness she shows the children she teaches, but also because she went out of her way, literally, to make sure my granddaughter received her show uniform in time for her dance performance. I had absent-mindedly failed to order her uniform when her original class was canceled, and my granddaughter was invited to join another dance class, which meant ordering a new uniform. I received the email of the upcoming show and panicked because I realized I did not have her show uniform. I reached out to Ashley speculating that my granddaughter may not be able to perform due to this dilemma. She said, “no problem. I’ll call corporate. Tell them to have it ready and I will make arrangements with corporate to pick it up and deliver it to you for the show.” Corporate is in Brainard, Mn. I was blown away by her willingness to drive from Jamestown to Brainard, so my granddaughter could participate in her first real show! The uniform arrived on time and all was well! Thank you, Ashley for making a five-year-old and this grandma very happy!!!!”

Congratulations to Ashley! The Just for Kix dance program practices at Club 1883. You can check them out at www.justforkix.com.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s McKenzie County was the fastest-growing county in the nation as the oil industry fueled a population that more-than doubled over the last decade. Population data from the U.S. Census Bureau showed most of North Dakota’s growth occurred in the western part of the state and in the cities. The trends mean that legislative power will likely shift towards cities as a Republican-led committee shapes legislative districts this year.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The U.S. Department of Education has approved North Dakota’s plan to use federal coronavirus relief aid for schools. The federal approval unlocks the remaining $101 million of the $305 million directed to North Dakota from the American Rescue Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief fund. The state’s plan details how the federal money will be used to maintain safe schools and expand opportunities for students, particularly those impacted by COVID-19. The state Department of Public Instruction plans to work with the Health Department, the state teachers union and school districts to help educators learn about vaccination options.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The University of Mary in Bismarck will get almost $4 million from the federal government to help prevent a landslide. The Bismarck Tribune reported Thursday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency will award the money to the university. One of the private Catholic school’s administrative buildings sits along a bluff that the Missouri River is eroding, creating the potential for a landslide. The university is planning a $5.2 million project to redirect water from the river into valleys and erect a retaining wall to support the land around the building. The FEMA dollars will pay for most of the project, with the university supplying the remaining $1.3 million. Work is expected to being next spring.

In world and national news…

(AP) The Census Bureau has issued its most detailed portrait yet of how the U.S. has changed over the past decade. The agency on Thursday released a trove of demographic data that will used to redraw political maps across an increasingly diverse country. The census figures have been eagerly awaited by states, and they are sure to set off an intense partisan battle over representation. The numbers could help determine control of the U.S. House in the 2022 elections and provide an electoral edge for the next 10 years. The data will also determine how $1.5 trillion in federal spending is distributed each year.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Taliban have captured Afghanistan’s third-largest city and a strategic provincial capital near Kabul. The latest advance further squeezed the country’s embattled government just weeks before the end of the American military mission there. The seizure of Herat on Thursday marks the biggest prize yet for the Taliban. The capture of Ghazni, meanwhile, cuts off a crucial highway linking the Afghan capital with the country’s southern provinces. The insurgents now have taken 11 of Afghanistan’s 34 provincial capitals as part of a weeklong blitz. The push comes some 20 years after U.S. and NATO troops invaded and ousted the Taliban government.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal Department of Health and Human Services is requiring employees who provide care for patients to get their COVID-19 shots. Thursday’s order from HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra will affect more than 25,000 clinicians, researchers, contractors, trainees and volunteers with the National Institutes of Health, the Indian Health Service, and the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. It applies to employees who regularly interact with patients, or whose duties could put them in contact with patients. Government agencies and private companies are issuing vaccine mandates as the aggressive delta variant sweeps across the country.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul waited more than a year to disclose that his wife bought stock in a company that makes a COVID-19 treatment. It’s an investment that was made after Congress was briefed on the threat of the virus but before the public was largely aware of its danger. The Republican filed a disclosure Wednesday revealing that Kelley Paul purchased as much as $15,000 in Gilead stock in February 2020. Trades are supposed to be reported within 45 days. A spokeswoman says Kelley Paul used her own earnings to make the investment and said the failure to disclose it was an oversight.

NEW YORK (AP) — Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul says she plans to run for governor in her own right after serving out the rest of Andrew Cuomo’s term. Hochul told NBC’s “Today” show on Thursday that she fully expects to run for governor because she is “the most prepared person” for the job. Gov. Cuomo announced his resignation on Tuesday amid sexual harassment allegations. Cuomo denies that he touched anyone inappropriately. Hochul will become the first woman to be New York’s governor when Cuomo’s resignation becomes official on Aug. 24. She is a Buffalo Democrat who has served as Erie County clerk and served one term in Congress before winning election as lieutenant governor in 2014.
