Jamestown  (JRMC)   — Jamestown Regional Medical Center is sharing a friendly reminder to safely put babies to sleep.

Emily Woodley, Family BirthPlace Manager, says  “Placing baby on his or her back for all sleep times is the best way to reduce SIDS risk. We care about our babies and we care about their families. ‘Back to sleep’ is the safest option for our littlest community members.”

The Cribs for Kids Safe Sleep program encourages hospitals to educate and model the safest practices for putting a baby to sleep. This includes placing baby to sleep on his or her back in a crib, rather than in a shared bed. Parents are encouraged to share a room with the child, but not a bed as rolling over on the child can be fatal, according to the North Dakota Department of Health.

In 2018, the NDDOH named JRMC the first hospital to receive the gold-level distinction from the Cribs for Kids Safe Sleep program.

JRMC is a 25-bed critical access hospital in Jamestown, N.D. The hospital assists in the delivery of about 350 babies each year.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends newborns up to 1 year of age sleep on their backs. This method provides the best protection against sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). SIDS is also known as “crib death” because most babies who die of SIDS are found in their cribs. SIDS claims the lives of about 1,500 babies in the U.S. annually. An additional 900 babies die each year due to accidental suffocation or strangulation in bed.

Other safe sleep tips include:

  • Arrange baby’s sleep area is in the same room, next to where parents sleep.
  • Use a firm and flat sleep surface, such as a mattress in a safety-approved crib, covered by a fitted sheet.
  • Baby should not sleep in an adult bed, on a couch, or on a chair alone, with you, or with anyone else.
  • Do not smoke or let anyone else smoke around your baby.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The head of the agency that handles land rights for some of North Dakota’s largest industries is resigning less than five months into her second term. Department of Trust Lands Commissioner Jodi Smith is stepping down on Oct. 28. She was appointed by the state Board of University and School Lands in 2017 and was reappointed to a second term in June. The Land Department leases rights for grazing and rights to produce oil, coal and gravel from state lands. It’s unclear why Smith decided to take an early exit. She says she will remember her time as commissioner with “great fondness” and has offered to act as a consultant after she steps down.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Budget writers in the North Dakota Legislature have began mulling proposals on how to spend hundreds of millions of dollars in federal coronavirus aid the state received this year. House and Senate appropriations committees met separately at the Capitol Tuesday, listening to pitches from fellow lawmakers and others on a wish list that totaled $9.2 billion, which is significantly more than the $1.1 billion in federal coronavirus funds transferred to the state-owned Bank of North Dakota in June. A series of meetings is being held this month to prioritize projects ahead of a Nov. 8 special session, when the full Legislature will debate the proposals.

 

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Investigators are trying to figure out why a man jumped out of a vehicle on Interstate 29 in Fargo.

Jose Altuve (al-TOO’-vay) belted a three-run homer, scored four times and stole a base as the Astros eliminated the White Sox in Game 4 of the Division Series, 10-1. The rout puts the Astros in the ALCS for a fifth straight season.

Carlos Correa and Alex Bregman each hit a two-run double as Houston bounced back from Sunday night’s 12-6 loss. The Astros earned their three victories by a combined 19 runs.

The Astros’ bullpen fired two-hit ball over five innings after Lance McCullers Jr. held Chicago to a run on five hits and three walks over four innings.

Nets won’t play Irving until he meets vaccine requirement

UNDATED (AP) — The Brooklyn Nets have announced that All-Star guard Kyrie Irving will not play or practice with the team until he can be a full participant, ending the idea that he would play in only road games.

Under a New York mandate, professional athletes playing for a team in the city have to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to play or practice in public venues. Asked if Irving was vaccinated, Marks said: “If he was vaccinated, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. I think that’s probably pretty clear.”

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says it has helped broker an agreement for the Port of Los Angeles to become a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week operation. This is an effort to relieve supply chain bottlenecks and move the stranded container ships that are driving prices higher for U.S. consumers. President Joe Biden plans to discuss the agreement during a speech Wednesday afternoon about supply chain issues that have hampered the economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. Ports in Los Angeles and Long Beach, California, account for 40% of all shipping containers entering the U.S. The supply chain problem is tightly linked with the broader challenge of inflation confronting Biden.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Amid an epidemic of ransomware attacks, the U.S. is discussing cybersecurity strategy with 30 countries while leaving out one key player: Russia. The country that, unwittingly or not, hosts many of the criminal syndicates behind ransomware attacks around the world was not invited to a two-day meeting starting Wednesday that’s aimed at developing new strategies to counter the threat. A Biden administration official says discussions will focus in part on efforts to disrupt and prosecute ransomware networks like the one behind an attack on a U.S. pipeline company that led to East Coast gas shortages. White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan says “No one country” can solve the ransomware problem.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has approved a short-term hike to the nation’s debt limit. The vote Tuesday evening ensures the federal government can continue fully paying its bills into December. The legislation next goes to President Joe Biden’s desk to be signed into law. A default would have had immense fallout on global financial markets, and routine government payments to Social Security beneficiaries, disabled veterans and others would have been called into question. But the relief provided will only be temporary, forcing Congress to revisit the issue in December, with Republicans promising that Democrats will have to lift the cap without their assistance.

DETROIT (AP) — U.S. safety investigators want to know why Tesla didn’t file recall documents when it updated Autopilot software to better identify parked emergency vehicles, escalating a simmering clash between the automaker and regulators. In a letter to Tesla, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration told the electric car maker that it must recall vehicles if an over-the-internet update mitigates a safety defect. The latest showdown further reveals an escalating confrontation between Tesla and the agency that regulates partially automated driving systems. In August the agency opened an investigation into Autopilot after getting multiple reports of Teslas crashing into emergency vehicles parked on highways with warning lights flashing.

VAN HORN, Texas (AP) — Actor William Shatner is counting down to his wildest role yet: riding a rocket into space, courtesy of “Star Trek” fan Jeff Bezos. Best known for his role as Captain Kirk, the 90-year-old Shatner is joinng three other passengers for Wednesday morning’s planned launch from West Texas. He’ll become the oldest person in space. Bezos’ space travel company, Blue Origin, invited Shatner on the brief jaunt to the fringes of the final frontier. It will be Blue Origin’s second passenger flight and should last just 10 minutes, like Bezos’ own spaceflight in July.  Updates to be posted at csinewsnow.com

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration says the U.S. will reopen its land borders to nonessential travel next month, ending a 19-month freeze due to the COVID-19 pandemic. International visitors will need to be vaccinated against the coronavirus. Vehicle, rail and ferry travel between the U.S. and Canada and Mexico has been largely restricted to essential travel, such as trade, since the beginning of the pandemic. The rules announced Wednesday will allow fully vaccinated foreign nationals U.S. entry regardless of the reason for travel. That starts in early November, when a similar easing of restrictions kicks in for air travel. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says he’s “pleased to be taking steps to resume regular travel.”
