Hospitals may face nursing shortage By the Associated Press

Hospital and nursing officials fear that if COVID-19 cases continue unchecked there won’t be enough nurses to staff new hospital beds in the near future in the Kansas City metro area.

“All the things we were worried about could be possible in March, April and May are actually happening right now, and that should be scary for all of us,” said David Wild, vice See NURSES | Page A2

A gung-ho Christmas enthusiast, Chelsea Lea has assumed the mantle of decorating the courthouse square for the holidays.

“I’m all about the Christmas spirit,” said Lea, who owns Miss Chelsea’s Dance Academy.

And despite the bitter cold, not only was Lea busy bringing cheer to Iola with various decorations, she also plans to volunteer at the adjoining holiday events, such as when Santa Claus comes to town.

Lea’s official elf costume is in the mail.

“It’s high-end. I’m lovin’ it,” she said of her costume.

“I’ve already got the ears.

I have no trepidation about dressing up at all.”

Moreover, she and other high school-aged elves from her dance studio are busy learning a special Christmas dance.

Given Lea’s new degree in business administration from Fort Hays State University, before long she’ll likely be taking over operations at the North Pole.

Cafe delivers options

By VICKIE MOSS The Iola Register

This time, if Kansas goes into another lockdown because of the coronavirus pandemic, B & B Country Cafe will be ready.

Restaurant owners Mike and Kim Larios have been adapting and modifying their business model since early March, when the impact of the pandemic first affected their business.

Since then, they’ve expanded their services to include takeout orders at a drive-up window or curbside delivery.

Most recently they’ve added GRUBHUB, an online meal delivery service.

“Things have changed dramatically from the beginning of this,” Mike said. “It’s hit everybody hard in the restaurant industry. We’ve had to make adjustments.”

During the lockdown this spring, the couple shut the doors to their busy cafe for several weeks and sent employees home to collect unemployment, wondering if they could keep the business solvent long enough to reopen when the time came.

The building at 324 W. Garfield had once been a liquor store and featured a drive-up window.

Fourteen years ago, when they opened B & B, Kim thought they might utilize the window for to-go orders.

But the cafe proved so popular with dine-in customers, they never needed it.

Travel figures point to surge in infections

By KRISTEN V. BROWN Bloomberg News

Coronavirus infections are already reaching unprecedented levels throughout the U.S. Now with Thanksgiving in the rearview mirror and Christmas and New Year’s just around the curve, the question is: Just how much worse is the pandemic going to get?

The latest travel data out Monday suggest that things are looking grim. Between 800,000 and 1.1 million people flew in the days leading up to and after the holiday, according to data released by the Transportation Safety

Administration. Though those numbers are a fraction of typical T h a n k s g iv ing travel p a t t e r n s , Dr. Fauci they are far higher than public health officials and epidemiologists hoped to see.

Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday that the U.S. may be about to see “a surge upon a surge.” On See TRAVEL | Page A6

MINNEAPOLIS — A hunter fired at what he thought was a deer in northern Minnesota and killed another hunter who was not wearing blaze orange or other high-visibility clothing, authorities said Monday.

The shooting involving the two men who were not hunting together occurred as dusk settled Wednesday near Puposky, the Beltrami County Sheriff ’s said.

The Sheriff ’s Office identified the victim as Lukas R. Dudley, 28, of Bemidji.

Dudley had been arrested and charged in early October with second-degree assault in connection with shooting numerous times at law enforcement officers during a standoff near Bemidji that ended with him being shot with a Taser. Authorities wanted him at the time on suspicion of burglary and possessing a stolen gun.

Dudley posted a non-cash bond and was released from jail on Nov. 5 and was under court order not to possess a firearm.

KS certifies election TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas officials have certified election results showing President Donald Trump won the heavily Republican state to claim the state’s six electoral votes in a year that saw historic turnout despite the coronavirus pandemic.

The Kansas State Board of Canvassers said on Monday that 56.21% of Kansas votes, or 771,406, were cast for Trump. Democrat Joe Biden received 41.56%, or 570,323 votes.

Kansans cast a record 1.37 million votes — a turnout rate of nearly 71%. That compares to the 2016 general election when

slightly more than 67% voted.

The hotly contested U.S. Senate race was certified with Republican Roger Marshall chalking up 53.22%, or 727,962 votes, to defeat Democrat Barbara Bollier.

U.S. Reps. Sharice Davids, a Democrat, and Ron Estes, a Republican, both won re-election. New Republican U.S. House members Tracey Mann and Jake Turner were also certified.

All states must certify elections before the Electoral College meets on Dec. 14, and any challenge to the results must be resolved

by Dec. 8.

Nurses: Shortage Continued from A1

president of performance improvement at the University of Kansas Health System.

Kansas health officials on Monday added 4,425 cases to the state’s pandemic tally since Friday, bringing the total to 157,446.

Data showed that Kansas averaged 2,198 new confirmed and probable coronavirus a day for the seven days ending Monday. That is below the record average of 2,766 cases.

The number of COVID-19 related deaths also rose by 31 to 1,560.

Allen County has 84 active COVID-19 cases. On Monday, the county has reported a total of 374 cases since the pandemic began.

That number grew by 26 since Friday.

It is too soon to see how Thanksgiving gatherings have impacted coronavirus numbers, but medical providers expect to see another rise in hospitalizations in 10 to 14 days once people begin showing symptoms.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment reported on Monday 87 new hospitalizations, bringing the total of hospitalizations to 5,105 since the start of the pandemic.

The state’s COVID-19 dashboard showed 227 coronavirus patients were in ICU units, with 39% of ICU capacity remaining in Kansas.

High community spread means more nurses are liable to contract the disease, forcing them into quarantine.

Child care also is an issue, says Kelly Sommers, state director of the Kansas State Nurses Association.

The Kansas Hos-

pital Association’s dashboard on Friday showed 14 of the metro area’s 33 hospitals, or about 42%, reporting they anticipated critical staff shortages in the following week, KCUR reported.

“The obvious answer is to get some temporary people, traveling nurses,” says Dr. Steve Stites, chief medical officer at the University of Kansas Health System. “But they’re just not as available as they once were because everybody’s scrambling for the same folks.”

Health providers anticipate the need for more COVID-19 testing following the Thanksgiving holiday, as testing numbers have more than doubled since cases began rising again in the Kansas City area.

Hospitalization numbers were also back up Monday after stabilizing over the holiday weekend, said Dr. Dana Hawkinson, an infectious disease expert at the University of Kansas Health System. The hospital is now treating 102 active cases, of which 46 are in the intensive care unit and 30 are on ventilators, KCUR reported.

“It looks like social gatherings, not so much school, but those other places where people are getting together where they aren’t really necessarily wearing masks as they should be, distancing as they should be, is really a concern,” Hawkinson said.

Hawkinson recommended that anyone who traveled or celebrated in a group for the holiday should act as if they are infected by quarantining and getting tested.

Kelly appoints Standridge to KS Supreme Court

By NOAH TABORDA Kansas Reflector

ed from a list of three nominees forwarded to Kelly in October by a nominating commission. Kim Cudney, chief judge of the 12th Judicial District, and Kristen Wheeler, a law clerk for federal Judge Thomas Marten were the two other candidates.

Kelly noted this is the first time in Kansas history that all three Supreme Court finalists were women.

Standridge’s career path was an important factor in the nomination decision, Kelly said.

Standridge spent six years after graduating from the University of Kansas working at Dillard’s and then worked her way through school at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law. Despite a packed schedule during her time in law school, Standridge still found time to work as editor-in-chief of the Law Review and as student leader of the Moot Court program.

Additionally, Standridge joins the state’s highest court with a strong legal background beyond her time in the Court of Appeals. She previously worked as chambers counsel to former U.S. District Magistrate Judge David Waxse and former U.S. District Judge Elmo Hunter, and was a lawyer with the firm Shook, Hardy and Bacon.

Standridge credited her diverse background with bringing her to

TOPEKA — Gov. Laura Kelly is appointing Melissa Taylor Standridge to fill a Kansas Supreme Court justice vacancy.

Standridge, who has served as a judge in the Kansas Court of Appeals since 2008, will replace Carol Beier, who retired in September after 17 years on the bench. This is the governor’s third appointment to the Kansas Supreme Court.

In making the announcement Monday, Kelly said Standridge would bring not only a deep appreciation for the law but also a “nuanced understanding” of the world and people the law governs, citing her personal and professional experience with the foster care system.

“There’s no question that Melissa has gathered a wealth of legal expertise that makes her more than prepared to join the Supreme Court.

But there is more to her unique career trajectory and life experience that makes her a perfect fit for our state’s highest court,” Kelly said. “As a foster care and adoptive parent, she has firsthand experience navigating the system both as a judge and as a foster parent to numerous youngsters, doing her best to provide security and stability and love to kids who sorely need it.”

Standridge was select-

what she described as “the honor of a lifetime” but assured Kansans she would not rest easy after this nomination.

“The justices of our Supreme Court have difficult jobs, so I am keenly aware that my appointment is more than just moving my office from the second floor of the judicial center to the third floor,” Standridge said. “But I believe that my years as a judge on the Kansas Court of Appeals, my extensive experience working with judges and lawyers from across our state, and my broad life experiences outside the law have prepared me for this challenge.”

Standridge will serve on the court for a year before standing for a retention vote in the general election. If retained by voters, she would serve an additional six years before being subject to another vote.

Currently, Supreme

Court justices are nominated by a nonpartisan commission and the names are forwarded to the governor for the final decision. Republican legislators have criticized the lack of legislative oversight.

With Kansas’ court of appeals nominations, for example, the governor’s choice is subject to confirmation by the state Senate.

Kelly dismissed concerns about the process.

She said the current process makes sure the selection is made honestly and without influence.

“We don’t need to politicize the court,” Kelly said.

Including Kelly’s three appointments to the Supreme Court — Standridge and current Justices Evelyn Wilson and K.J. Wall — the majority of the state’s justices have been selected

by Democratic governors.

Scott Atlas, Trump’s controversial adviser, resigns

By CHRIS SOMMERFELDT New York Daily News

Dr. Scott Atlas, a radiologist who gained President Donald Trump’s ear by pushing science-defying advice about COVID-19, has resigned from the White House coronavirus task force, according to an administration official familiar with the matter.

Atlas submitted a resignation letter to Trump on Monday, the official told the New York Daily News, capping off a four-month tenure at the White House that was marred by controversy.

Despite having no experience in infectious disease prevention, Atlas emerged as one of

Trump’s closest advisers on the COVID-19 pandemic, as Dr. Anthony Fauci and other seasoned experts were sidelined.

Atlas pushed the debunked idea that “herd immunity” to COVID-19 could be achieved by deliberately exposing people to the virus.

He was also an outspoken critic of COVID-19 precautions such as face mask usage and social distancing.

In an October post that was removed by Twitter for violating the platform’s policy against COVID-19 misinformation, Atlas claimed masks weren’t effective in stopping the spread of the respiratory virus.

Atlas was hired on a 130-day special govern-

UN: Food has run out for 100,000 refugees in Ethiopia NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The United Nations says food has now run out for the nearly 100,000 refugees from Eritrea who have been sheltering in camps in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region, which has been cut off from the world for nearly a month amid fighting.

“Concerns are growing by the hour,” U.N. refugee spokesman Babar Baloch told reporters in

Geneva on Tuesday. “The camps will have now run out of food supplies – making hunger and malnutrition a real danger, a warning we have been issuing since the conflict began nearly a month ago. We are also alarmed at unconfirmed reports of attacks, abductions and forced recruitment at the refugee camps.”

Wednesday marks a month since Ethiopian

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced that fighting had erupted in the Tigray region between federal forces and regional ones, as each government now regards the other as illegitimate due to a dispute over holding elections during the pandemic.

Communications and transport links to the Tigray region of 6 million people have been

severed, and the U.N. and others have pleaded for access to deliver badly needed food, medicines and other supplies.

Abiy, last year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner, has rejected the idea of dialogue with the Tigray regional leaders, who are on the run but say they continue to fight even after Abiy over the weekend declared victory in the deadly conflict.

Delivery: Restaurant adds options Continued from A1

Monday through Saturday.

Some customers haven’t returned, concerned about the safety of indoor dining. Mike wondered how they could reach those who were reluctant to leave the house, even for takeout.

Then one night in early August, Mike saw a television commercial for GRUBHUB. He brought the idea to Kim, who had many questions.

How does it work?

How does it make money?

Who would deliver the food?

Soon, Mike was on the phone with a GRUBHUB agent, learning all he could about the delivery service.

He liked what he heard.

“I’m really surprised more places aren’t doing it,” he said.

GRUBHUB uses an app or its website to connect customers with participating restaurants. Customers order and pay online, and the food is delivered hot and fresh to their door with zero interaction between the driver and customer. The driver leaves the food on the doorstep and can ring the doorbell or text the customer upon arrival.

Restaurants pay a small percentage of sales to GRUBHUB, Mike said. The restaurant controls its menu on the app, sets its own prices and hours, and can make adjustments as necessary.

Customers are not required to be a GRUBHUB member, but membership can offer certain perks like free delivery.

In most areas, such as larger cities, GRUBHUB contracts with local delivery drivers, similar to the way Uber operates.

A driver can accept or deny a delivery order.

The pandemic is more dangerous for those who are older or have underlying medical conditions.

It’s been difficult to judge the success of the new service. Some weeks, they’ll process 20 to 30 GRUBHUB orders. Other weeks, they’ll get just a few.

“We’re giving ourselves options,” Mike explained.

“It’s not going to replace this,” he motioned to the dining room area. “Our customers still like to come in, sit down and talk.

Drive-thru and delivery lack that human connection we all crave.”

date. Kim is adamant that B & B will abide by the governor’s order.

“I’m licensed by the State of Kansas. If the state mandates something, I better do it,” Kim said.

In fact, Kim said she’s come to appreciate the added protection masks bring. B & B has always required its cooks to wear gloves, and she now sees value in wearing masks while cooking. It can get hot, especially in the summer, but a mask could offer increased food safety, she said.

“We want to protect everyone who comes through our doors.”

Mike said he and his wife are looking at the long-term success of their business. If that means losing some customers, they’ll find ways to adapt and attract new ones.

“We want to do what’s right. And right now, GRUBHUB and our drive-up window are the best tools we have, especially if there’s another lockdown.”

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Dr. Crumbine, have we learned anything in 100 years?

By MAX MCCCOY Kansas Reflector

Today we have a special guest. On the spirit phone is Samuel J. Crumbine, a Kansas doctor and public health pioneer.

He campaigned against the common drinking cup, invented the flyswatter, and ordered bricks telling us not to spit on the sidewalk.

Dr. Crumbine, welcome to the column.

Thanks, glad to be here.

Actually, I’m glad to be anywhere, since I died in 1954. Where am I, exactly?

A better question might be “when” are you. The year is 2020. You’re piped into my home office on Constitution Street in Emporia, Kansas.

How does that work?

I’m not sure, but don’t hit the red button on your end.

Yes, I see it. What’s it do?

Nobody knows, but the plans Thomas Edison left behind for the spirit phone explicitly say not to touch the red button. ... Now, doctor, you spent your early career practicing medicine in Dodge City when it was a rip-roaring cattle town.

Oh, those cowboys! Now, that will teach you something about how disease spreads.

In fact, you were the inspiration for Doc, the character played by Milburn Stone on the television series “Gunsmoke.”

Sorry, never saw it. But I didn’t like how the doctor was portrayed on the radio. Too dark. ...

Dr. Crumbine, the reason you’ve been summoned is to discuss a more urgent matter.

Kansas again finds itself in the grip of a killer virus, part of a global pandemic like the one you saw in 1918 when you were the chief of the Kansas State Board of Health. This one is a little different — it doesn’t target mostly young people, like last time — but

the trajectory of the epidemic has been disturbingly similar to that of a century ago.

How can I help?

Give us some insight into how, as the state’s chief medical officer, you dealt with it.

(Whistles). How much time do you have?

A thousand words or so.

Well, in any public health crisis it’s critical that the public be educated on the best and most scientific ways to avoid disease.

That’s why we campaigned so hard in my day to educate the public about proper hygiene and to avoid practices that spread infection, such as the use of the roller towel or common drinking cups in passenger trains, hotels and schools.

You were also instrumental in promoting municipal sewage treatment and making sure cities had safe sources of drinking water.

Yes! In the early 20th Century, Kansas City took its drinking water from the river downstream of many sources of human and industrial waste. We corrected that situation, eventually! It has always been a fight to make people understand that the public health is everybody’s business, that we live in an interconnected world where what we do in our personal lives and businesses might make somebody we’ve never met deathly ill.

That fight is still going on, doctor.

No! How do they justify it?

Something called “personal responsibility,” which apparently is a kind of honor system in which you’re supposed to do the right thing.

The right thing apparently means doing whatever the hell you want, as long as you keep pumping money into the local economy, and then being

Samuel J. Crumbine of Dodge City was one of the nation’s leaders in the field of public health. He became secretary of the Kansas State Board of Health in 1904 and served for approximately 20 years. His public health campaigns were directed at practices and conditions that led to the spread of communicable diseases. (Kansasmemory.org/Kansas State Historical Society) left on your own when you get sick because, after all, it was your fault.

Surely things have progressed since my time. In this current pandemic, has there been a shutdown? I urged Gov. Arthur Capper to close the state in October and November 1918, and he did. Public gatherings of any kind were banned.

There’s no telling how many lives were saved.

Our governor, Laura Kelly, issued a statewide shutdown in the spring, but some in the Legislature opposed it. There was a compromise in June that let individual counties decide on things like mask mandates. In the name of privacy, it also allowed people who are infected to opt out of contact tracing. Health officials say it’s one of the things that have made fighting the pandemic here particularly tough. And, in spite of all we know about the disease, there are some who deny it even exists, or that it’s no worse than any other flu. Our current spike in cases, which looks like a hockey stick, began a couple of weeks after Halloween. We expect more after Thanksgiving, even though health experts have pleaded with people to stay home.

But surely public officials are setting a good example? Keeping distant and wearing masks?

I’m afraid not, doctor. The governor and your modern counterpart, Kansas Department of Health and Environment secretary Lee Norman, wear masks when they make

What the court got wrong about COVID The unsigned opinion by the nation’s highest court got it wrong, insisting that restrictions placed on religious gatherings imposed

by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in New York’s COVID hot spots must be nullified, for they violate the First Amendment.

The dissent by the Bronx’s Sonia Sotomayor got it right. The rules, capping gatherings at 10 people or less, are actually more generous for faith-based institutions than for any other type: “New York treats houses of worship far more favorably than their secular comparators.” How on Earth can that be an offense to the guaranteed freedom to exercise religion? The majority has no answer.

Nor do they have a compelling reply to Chief Justice John Roberts’ dissent, which points out that since churches and synagogues filed their challenges to New York’s rules, the ground shifted. “None of the houses of worship identified in the applications is now subject to any fixed numerical restrictions ...

The Governor might reinstate the restrictions. But he also might not. And it is a significant matter to override determinations made by public health officials concerning what is necessary for public safety in the midst of a deadly pandemic.”

In other words, there was no need to tie the hands of officials who are seeking to

save lives in the midst of a public health crisis.

But what’s done is done.

New York is no longer allowed to count to 10 in synagogues and churches. Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas make five, and that’s enough. In these United States, there’s no higher authority on what is legal and constitutional.

Going forward, Cuomo must impose restrictions on religious services — and all others — keyed to the size of the given institution, similar to the way indoor dining is regulated. If lives are lost, chalk it up to a bad interpretation of the Free Exercise Clause.

— New York Daily News

public appearances, but many lawmakers do not. Masks have become politicized. A mask is the best tool we have against the virus, but a lot of Kansans — and many Republicans, the ruling party at the Statehouse — won’t wear masks because they believe the virus is a hoax, that the infection isn’t that bad, or that science somehow threatens their personal liberty. During a coronavirus recovery committee meeting last week at the Capitol, unemployed Kansans were demonized for taking state unemployment funds rather than accepting any job offered. Of the 12 lawmakers on the committee, only four were wearing masks.

But that would be crazy even in 1918! Wear masks!

Stay home if you can!

The state is embarking on a $1.5 million publicity campaign to encourage Kansans to wear masks, but many fear it will accomplish little.

The political divisions run too deep. There is a greater mistrust of science than at any time in the last hundred years. Crackpot theories and vicious hoaxes breed like plague rats on the internet while truth goes begging.

What’s the internet?

Telegraph and newspapers and radio and television all rolled into a kind of big telephone party line. You can view messages from anybody you want, and quite a few you don’t, and it makes you happy and sad all at the same time.

Most Kansans have at least some kind of internet access.

What a tool for educa-

tion!

You would think so, but it hasn’t made us smarter.

Then what do people use it for?

Oh, gosh. Entertainment, mostly. ... Buying stuff they don’t need. .... Posting anonymous comments that are hurtful and worse. And cats.

Lots of pictures of cats.

Well, it must be useful for something.

Sure, you can check and see how many infections we have.

How many infections are there, then?

As of Nov. 30, more than 157,446, according to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment dashboard.

That’s about one in 20 Kansans.

And deaths?

1,560.

There’s no vaccine?

Not yet. But even if one were available now, a considerable fraction of people believe the vaccine is a hoax. Or poison.

Yes, exactly.

(Long sigh). Things have not changed.

Doctor, there’s a statue of you outside the Kansas Health Institute in Topeka, across the street from the Capitol.

The institute is a nonprofit that provides health data to lawmakers. The statue is a fairly good likeness, and it shows you with hat in hand and arms outstretched, as if you are imploring the public to observe good health practices. On a brass plaque is a quote from you. Would you care to guess which quote?

(Clears throat) I began to realize, as I never had before, how much the health of each of us depend on the health of all of us.

Exactly.

But nobody listened. (A moan. Then, a soft curse.)

What’s wrong?

I put my head in my hands and my elbow … well, my right elbow depressed the red button.

How’s that again? You’re breaking up! I’m losing you.

Tell people to believe in science. Wear masks. Stay home!

(Static) Dr. Crumbine, can you hear me? Dr. Crumbine!

Letter to the editor Dear editor,

I enjoyed the letter about “Pass It On” recently in the paper. This is just one of many examples of the kindness of the people in Iola area.

It is so true, when one remembers, “A person may not always remember what you said or did; but they will always remember how you made them feel.”

A thoughtless remark or action in haste or anger can destroy a close relationship or, if the relationship survives, it will never be the same.

The people of Iola are some of the kindest folks I know.

While I have lived here less than two years, I have traded in the Iola area for 50-plus years and have more often than not experienced some

act of kindness or some kind word when I really needed it.

A kind remark or unsolicited assistance can often make a person’s day. When a person is down, that kind word or action can completely change that person’s day. It can lead to a close friendship in some cases. Seldom, if ever, have I encountered one who utters a cruel or unkind remark or does something unkind for no reason.

While Iola may not be a thriving metropolis, it retains a lot of the charm, kindness, and decency that make it a great place to live.

For this alone we should be thankful, as many towns the same size or smaller do not exhibit those same qualities.

R.W. Lamb Iola, Kan.

WASHINGTON (AP) — After months of shadowboxing amid a tense and toxic campaign, Capitol Hill’s main players are returning for one final, perhaps futile, attempt at deal-making on a challenging menu of year-end business.

COVID-19 relief, a $1.4 trillion catchall spending package, and defense policy — and a final burst of judicial nominees — dominate a truncated two- or three-week session occurring as the coronavirus pandemic rockets out of control in President Donald Trump’s final weeks in office.

The only absolute must-do business is preventing a government shutdown when a temporary spending bill expires on Dec. 11. The route preferred by top lawmakers like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is to agree upon and pass an omnibus spending bill for the government. But it may be difficult to over-

Low-cost tree and shrub seedlings available The Kansas Forest Service is offering lowcost conservation tree and shrub seedlings for purchase again this year. These seedlings are to be used in conservation plantings, such as home/livestock windbreaks, living snow fences, Christmas tree plantations, firewood lots, habitats for game birds and wildlife, barriers to reduce noise pollution, blocking ugly views, marking property lines and creating habitat for songbirds.

These plants are 1 or 2 years old, and their sizes vary from 5 to 18 inches, depending on species. Most of the trees are bare-root seedlings, however some are available as container-grown seedlings such as Ponderosa pine and Southwestern white pine. Some

of the deciduous trees that are available include: bald cypress, black walnut, bur oak, cottonwood, hackberry, redbud, and sycamore.

Shrubs available include American plum, chokecherry, lilac, and sand hill plum. This is not a complete listing of available trees and not all trees are recommended for this area.

The Kansas Forest Service also offers tree “bundles” for purchase.

The Quail Bundle offers a variety of shrubs designed to attract quail, including American plum, fragrant sumac, golden current

and chokecherry. It was created in cooperation with Quail Forever to provide excellent food and habitat for upland bird species in eastern Kansas.

A popular favorite that was introduced last year is the pollinator bundle. Designed to improve the habitat for a diverse array of pollinating insects, it primarily focuses on native bees, honey bees, butterflies and moths. This bundle is composed of seven species of shrubs and small trees — American plum, chokecherry, golden currant, false indigo, elderberry, buttonbush and eastern

redbud.

Not certain what you would like to order?

Then stop by the Extension office and pick up a brochure that has color pictures of various trees and shrubs at maturity. Orders for conservation trees are accepted now through the first full week of May, with shipments beginning in March.

However, I recommend that you order early to ensure availability of trees. Order forms and price sheets are available at the Southwind District Extension Offices in Erie, Iola, Fort Scott, and Yates Center or can be mailed or e-mailed.

come bitter divisions regarding a long-delayed COVID-19 relief package that’s a top priority of business, state and local governments, educators and others.

Time is working against lawmakers as well, as is the Capitol’s emerging status as a COVID-19 hotspot. The House has truncated its schedule, and Senate Republicans are joining Democrats in forgoing the in-person lunch meetings that usually anchor their workweeks. It’ll take serious, good-faith conversations among top players to determine what’s possible, but those haven’t transpired yet.

Top items for December’s lame-duck session: KEEPING THE GOVERNMENT OPEN

At a bare minimum, lawmakers need to keep the government running by passing a stopgap spending bill known as a continuing resolution, which would punt $1.4 trillion worth of unfinished agency spending into next year.

That’s a typical way to deal with a handoff to a new administration, but McConnell and Pelosi are two veterans of the Capitol’s appropriations culture and are pressing hard for a catchall spending package. A battle over using budget sleight of hand to add a 2 percentage point, $12 billion increase to domestic programs to accommodate rapidly growing veterans health care spending is an issue, as are Trump’s demands for U.S-Mexico border wall funding.

Getting Trump to sign the measure is another challenge. Two years ago he sparked a lengthy partial government shutdown over the border wall, but both sides would like to clear away the pile of unfinished legislation to give the Biden administration a fresh start.

The changeover in administrations probably wouldn’t affect an omnibus deal very much.

At issue are the 12 annual spending bills comprising the portion of the government’s budget that passes through Congress each year on a bipartisan basis. Whatever approach passes, it’s likely to contain a

batch of unfinished leftovers such as extending expiring health care policies and tax provisions and continuing the authorization for the government’s flood insurance program.

COVID-19 RELIEF

Democrats have battled with Republicans and the White House for months over a fresh installment of COVID-19 relief that all sides say they want. But a lack of good faith and an unwillingness to embark on compromises that might lead either side out of their political comfort zones have helped keep another rescue package on ice.

The aid remains out of reach despite a fragile economy and outof-control increases in coronavirus cases, especially in Midwest GOP strongholds. McConnell has supplanted Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin as the most important Republican force in the negotiations, but he hasn’t shown much openness for politically difficult compromises required for a COVID-19 deal that might anger conservatives. Neither have McConnell’s warnings of a wave of COVID-related lawsuits against businesses, schools and nonprofits open during the pandemic come to pass, undercutting his demand for blanket protections against such suits.

Pelosi seems to have overplayed her hand as she held out for $2 trillion-plus right up until the election. The results of the election, which saw Democrats lose seats in the House, appear to have significantly undercut her position, but she is holding firm on another round of aid to state and local governments.

Before the election, Trump seemed to be focused on a provision that would send another round of $1,200 payments to most Americans. He hasn’t shown a lot of interest in the topic since, apart from stray tweets. But the chief obstacles now appear to be Pelosi’s demand for state and local government aid and McConnell’s demand for a liability shield for businesses reopening during the pandemic.

members and local businesses to experience some sense of holiday normalcy this year.

“We’ve actually had enough response by people that we’re going to have enough to do a few more trees here and there.”

“My main thing is I just wanted it to be a pretty, drive-through experience. They had a tradition and I’d love to step up and keep it going.”

Lea is referring to the efforts of Tracy Keagle, who for the last six years shouldered the responsibility of decorating the courthouse lawn as well as operating Santa’s Toy Shop.

“It’s time for a changing of the guard,” Lea said.

Lea certainly has the experience to make the vision a reality.

Volunteers Larry Peterson and Matthew Lea install lights.

“I love designing things,” she said. For instance, “I do set pieces all the time for my [dance] shows. But here it’s like a big stage… for the lights!”

“Really,” during such difficult times, “I just

want people to know I’m thinking of them.”

“While this year is hard for many and we can’t celebrate with arms open wide, I still believe we can celebrate with hearts wide open,” she said.

Volunteers work to decorate the courthouse lawn.

“This community has been my home for my entire life, and I love how festive we get during the holiday seasons.”

“We keep getting donations and it’s awesome,” she added. “The more the merrier.

We’re just going to keep adding around the corners here on the square.”

“Whatever people want to donate is great. And if they just want to come look at the pretty lights, that’s great, too.”

So if you’re interested in helping out this year’s holiday lights effort spurred

by Lea, consider yourself invited to sponsor a tree for $30.

Travel: ‘Surge upon a surge’ expected Continued from A1

CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, said that Americans who traveled this past week should “assume that you were exposed and you became infected.” She urged those that traveled to get tested within the next week.

The number of new COVID-19 cases in the U.S. topped 200,000 for the first time Friday.

There have been more than 265,000 deaths. Last Wednesday, as millions had already begun their holiday travel, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention forecast as many as 21,400 new deaths due to the virus over the next four weeks.

Ashish Jha, dean of Brown University’s

School of Public Health, said he suspects those numbers are not high enough.

“Every time I look at the data, it’s worse,” he said.

Jha says he expects the number of new deaths to be more in the range of 25,000 to 30,000 in the Thanksgiving aftermath.

“Things are going to be so bad over the next month,” Jha said.

Exactly how bad it will get is difficult to say. Americans not only flew, but also drove to Thanksgiving celebrations. Before the holiday, the American Automobile Association predicted significant declines in bus, train and cruise travel, but only a slight drop in car travel. AAA said it would not have travel figures

for the holiday anytime soon.

Car travel was projected to fall 4.3% from last year’s pre-pandemic level, to 47.8 million travelers. With less travel this year by public transportation, AAA estimates driving will account for 95% of all holiday travel. On Monday, AAA said travel may have been less than initially forecast because of climbing infection rates and public health warnings. U.S. gasoline demand decreased 7.3% in seven days ending Nov. 28, according to GasBuddy, the travel and navigation app.

Even with a surge in online sales, some Americans still hit the road to shop. Chains with lines out the door included Lululemon Athletica Inc., Bath &

Body Works and Urban Outfitters. Shoppers camped overnight in some locations of GameStop Corp., one of the few retailers to do brick-and-mortar releases of new video game consoles.

“This does have the potential to turn into another superspreader event,” Doug Stephens, founder of consulting firm Retail Prophet, said of the shopping weekend.

The Trump administration had been sending out widely varying guidance on holiday travel in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, and only in the final week did the CDC overtly urge people to stay home. Many health policy experts say that was too little guidance, too late.

James and Judy Heinrich James and Judy Heinrich will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary Wednesday.

Due to COVID restrictions, there will be no formal gathering, but friends and family are asked to remember the Heinrichs in prayer, cards or sweet actions as they see fit. Correspondence may be sent to 307 S. Main St., LaHarpe, KS 66751.

James Allen Heinrich, son of Allen and Pauline (Belvoir) Heinrich, and Judy Mae Overy, daughter of Fred and Frances Overy, were married Dec. 2, 1960.

They have two children, Jeff Heinrich, Iola, and Julie and Rick Larkey, Denton, Texas; four grandchildren, Tyler, Brett and Jerad in Iola and Ryan, who will be married Dec. 19; and

two great-grandchildren.

James traveled as an ironworker across Texas, South Carolina and Boston before settling in Pennsylvania and returning to his native southeast Kansas in 1972.

In addition to iron construction, he worked as a bridge crew foreman for Allen County.

He also worked at IMP Boats. Judy worked at Gates Corporation and as a lunchroom attendant at Jefferson Elementary School. She also sold Avon.

Nowadays, the couple keep busy as gardeners, prayer warriors and cat saviors.

Judy also is in charge of the LaHarpe Senior Center. The Heinrichs continue to serve as advocates for FarmCity Days and the Allen County Farmers Market.

Hunters: Accident Continued from A1

Minnesota, told authorities that “he observed movement of what he thought was a deer and fired one round from his rifle,” a Sheriff ’s Office statement read.

“Dudley was found not to be wearing typical blaze orange or other high-visibility clothing.”

When he discovered that he had shot Dudley, the hunter immediately called 911. He has been cooperating with inves-

tigators.

Several agencies are investigating the shooting, and a decision on whether to file charges in the case has yet to be made. The Star Tribune generally does not identify suspects before they are charged.

Sheriff Ernie Beitel said the shooting occurred after deer hunting season had ended and just off Red Lake land, where the season was still underway at the time.

K-State Mustangs rough up Osawatomie edges UMKC Iola Middle School: Girls Basketball

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

It’ll be awhile before spectators will get to watch any kind of middle school or high school athletic events again. Monday’s contest was the last local athletic event to allow spectators until well into the new year.

So the Iola Middle School girls made sure to send off the crowd with a defensive clinic Monday evening.

The Mustang teams swept visiting Osawatomie in three games, highlighted by the eighth-grade A team’s 32-9 romp.

Iola trailed 4-2 early before scoring the game’s next 23 points to seal the win.

Leading the way was Reese Curry, who channeled her inner Kobe Bryant in scoring 16 of Iola’s first 20 points. She exited early in the fourth quarter with 18.

She was followed by Karingten Hall with six, Baylie Crooks with five, Kaysin Crusinbery with two and Kinsey Schinstock with one.

The seventh-grade A team, meanwhile, emerged with a 14-10 victory, paced

by India Barney’s 10 points. Stephanie Fees, Lily Lohman and Bethany Miller added two points each.

The teams were knotted at 4-4 at halftime before Iola forged a 10-8 lead after three quarters, and then outscored Osawatomie 4-2 in the final six minutes.

The combined B team

MANHATTAN, Kansas (AP) — Nijel Pack and DaJuan Gordon scored 14 points each as Kansas State battled past Missouri-Kansas City 62-58 Monday, picking up the Wildcats’ first win.

Pack, a freshman, scored the game’s first basket and his first 3-pointer put K-State (1-2) ahead 12-0 as part of a 17-0 opening run. The Wildcats led 33-23 at the half, taking advantage of UMKC’s cold start — 0-for-8 with four turnovers.

Gordon, a sophomore, scored 10 of his 14 in the first half, pulled down nine rebounds for the game with two assists and two steals. Kaosi Ezeagu added 11 points and blocked three shots.

Brandon McKissic scored 24 points to lift UMKC (22) back into it, hitting 10 of 17 shots, including four 3-pointers. He scored 15 after halftime, including late 3-pointers that pulled the Kangaroos to 58-51 with 3:31 remaining and 62-58 in the final second.

K-State turned the ball over 18 times, one more than UMKC, but the Wildcats scored 20 off turnovers while limiting the damage of their own miscues to 10 points.

Franck Kamgain scored 11 for the Kangaroos and had four of UMKC’s 10 steals.

Metcalf, Wilson lead Seahawks past Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA (AP) — DK Metcalf got extra motivation he didn’t even need.

Metcalf caught 10 passes for 177 yards, Russell Wilson threw for 230 yards and a touchdown and the Seattle Seahawks beat the Philadelphia Eagles 2317 on Monday night.

Before the game, Metcalf said Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, who coached Calvin Johnson in Detroit, compared him to the former Lions star.

“I’m getting a little respect, but you know I still got work to do.

One of the defensive coaches came up to me and it kind of made me mad that he was like, ‘You know, I was in Detroit with Megatron but you’re not there yet,’” Metcalf said. “In my mind, I’m not trying to be Megatron. I’m trying

to be me. So I had a little chip on my shoulder the whole game.”

The Seahawks (8-3) moved one game ahead of the Rams in the NFC West. The Eagles (3-7-1) fell a half-game behind the Giants and Washington in the woeful NFC East.

Carson Wentz didn’t cede many snaps to backup Jalen Hurts but had another rough game. He was 25 of 45 for 215 yards, two TDs — one in garbage time — and one interception.

Seattle’s defense entered the game allowing the most yards in the NFL and most yards passing but held Philadelphia’s inept offense to 250 yards.

Metcalf was on the board when the Eagles took J.J. Arcega-Whiteside in the second round with the 57th pick in 2019. Arcega-Whiteside

has 12 career catches and was a healthy inactive before landing on the COVID-19 list.

Metcalf, who was the final pick of the second round, had the best game of his rookie year in Seattle’s playoff win at Philadelphia last season and again showed why he’s one of the best receivers in the NFL. Metcalf ’s 52-yard catch on third-and-13 set up Wilson’s 1-yard TD pass to David Moore that gave the Seahawks a 7-0 lead.

“It’s kind of like coming home, a place that had a chance to draft me but they didn’t so I’ve got to make them pay,” Metcalf said.

Cornerback Darius Slay, who followed Metcalf in coverage, called it the worst game of his career.

“I lost every 50-50 ball.

I let the team down. I got-

ta play better,” Slay said.

Chris Carson made it 14-0 when he bullied his way through Philadelphia’s defense on a 16yard run.

“You know me, I saw that end zone so my game is physical so I wanted to get it in,” Carson said.

The Eagles didn’t get a first down until Wentz ran for 20 yards with under five minutes left in the first half. Wentz scrambled for 13 yards on third-and-5 to keep the drive going and tossed a 3-yard TD pass to Dallas Goedert to cut it to 14-6 at halftime.

Jake Elliott missed the extra point wide left.

Elliott’s 42-yard field goal cut it to 14-9 in the third quarter. Jason Myers hit one from 44 yards to extend it to 17-9.

After a holding call on Cedric Ogbuehi negated a 17-yard TD run by

Carlos Hyde, Myers connected from 33 yards. He hit another one from 39.

Richard Rodgers caught a tipped ball on a desperation heave by Wentz for a 33-yard TD in the final minute.

Trailing by 11, Eagles coach Doug Pederson passed up a field goal and went for it on fourth-and-4 from the Seahawks 15. Wentz’s pass went straight to Seattle’s Quandre Diggs as Goedert turned the other way on the route.

The Eagles got a huge stop on Seattle’s opening series. After a pair of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties helped the Seahawks reach the 3, Derek Barnett stuffed Moore for a 5-yard loss on fourth down from the 2.

Barnett sacked Wilson on fourth-and-2 from Philadelphia’s 37 on Seattle’s second

drive.

OWNING PHILLY

Wilson is 6-0 against the Eagles and the Seahawks have won seven in a row in the series.

NO QB ROTATION

Hurts took the snap on two plays. He completed a 6-yard pass to Alshon Jeffery on one and handed off on the other. Wentz was split wide on the running play and on the sideline for the pass.

GOING BACKWARD

The Eagles had minus-4 yards in the first quarter, matching their worst first quarter in the past 30 seasons (also minus-4 vs Minnesota on Oct. 7, 2018). The last team to have negative yards in the first quarter was Chicago with minus-1 against Philadelphia on Nov. 3, 2019.

The Eagles went three-and-out on their first five drives.

Football: Universities have failed in their COVID response Continued from B1

fects about which we know very little.

There is the way America is dealing with COVID-19: masks, lockdowns, limited attendance at weddings and funerals, canceled holiday plans, shuttered high schools, lockeddown dorms, bankrupt restaurants, dark theaters. And then there is the way American universities are dealing with COVID-19 in the realm of college football: play on and make things worse.

The inconsistency — strike that, the hypocrisy — is nothing short of jaw-dropping. And when you think this is happening at our greatest public universities, that jaw starts bouncing on the floor.

History will not be kind.

Anyone clicking through the college game-day TV lineup on Saturday was treated to announcer after announcer seamlessly melding virus-cancellation speculation into the things that announcers usually address at this point in the fall, such as the strength of a team’s schedule, or the Heisman chances of the quarterback, or the fortitude of the running backs.

Incredibly, the variable that matters this year is not so much the quality of the team but

Heisman Trophy candidate Trevor Lawrence of the Clemson Tigers has missed action this season after testing positive for COVID-19. GETTY IMAGES/MIKE COMER/TNS the likelihood that the virus will be held at bay long enough for a team in the running for the national championship to actually play out its prescribed season. The way things are going — and let’s no longer play the game of pretending that COVID-19 has been effectively held out of these football programs, their best efforts notwithstanding — the real tension lies there, far more than on the field.

And surely the field is where it should reside.

What the heck are we doing here?

Listening to speculation about the decisions of the College Football Playoff selection committee is part of the fun of watching the game.

But you know the mor-

al compass is nonexistent when a factor over which the players have zero control is turning out to be the most notable determinant of success this fall.

No individual player can do much about whether practices or games are interrupted

by COVID-19 positives, and they can do even less about the extent to which the endeavors of a team they just happen to be playing (or not playing) are so interrupted.

It’s stunningly unfair to everybody and it’s making a joke of the entire season. How can the selection committee meaningfully take into account games that have not been played?

Actually, it’s impossi-

FIND WHAT YOU NEED

THE MARKETPLACE EMPLOYMENT

ble to do so in any meaningful way, and it strikes at the heart of the one fundamentally meritocratic thing that’s common to all great sporting activities: results, often unexpected, are allowed to actually influence outcomes. Sports are not only unpredictable but they scramble existing power structures.

Week in, week out.

But in college football this season, it’s a bit like the International Olympic Committee is handing out gold medals for races that were never run but were decided on predicted outcomes.

That’s not unfamiliar to some teenagers dealing with testing and college admissions this year, but this is way more crazy.

College football, unlike most SAT sessions, is actually happening in person. The students and coaches aren’t getting the health benefits from a canceled season.

And yet the season is not proceeding according to any logic or fairness.

Even one of its most cheering moments, when Sarah Fuller of Vanderbilt made Power Five history Saturday as a female placekicker, came because the team’s other specialists were in quarantine. For their health, not because of the game. Fuller, surely, would rather have made history without that caveat, which was kicked under the carpet in most of the fawning press coverage. And that wasn’t right.

Nothing about this college football season is right, including it being played this fall rather than postponed until the winter or spring. An argument could be made, indeed has been made, that people need something to watch as they hole up at home. And it’s true that the NCAA is hardly alone here.

The NFL is playing and dealing with many of the same issues. Across the pond, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson made an exception to his draconian lockdown for so-called “elite athletes,” apparently under the assumption that the health of elite athletes

is less important than the average athlete, even though logic would, if anything, suggest the opposite.

What is really going on here is that we’ve made the decision that some people ought to have their health sacrificed for our entertainment, as well as to keep the cash rolling into Big Ten and network coffers. It’s true that most scientists agree the virus has less of an impact on the young, but it also has a disproportionate impact on Black Americans, who just happen to make up most of the athletes playing college football. One thing any reasonable person should agree on in regard to COVID-19 is that little yet is known.

Adult professionals, of course, can and should be able to make their own decisions. But the continuance of this season is utterly indefensible in college football because the athletes look to their schools for nurturing, education and protection. None of which are presently taking place. None of them.

It’s unbelievable. And a moral failing of staggering proportions.

Worse yet, the actual season is turning out to be about as a cruel a joke as America’s universities could ever collectively tell.

Shame on them all.

The mayfly: 2021’s insect of the year BERLIN (AP) — The Danish Mayfly was selected Friday by an international group of entomologists and others as the Insect of the Year for 2021, but it won’t have long to celebrate its 15 minutes of fame.

The insect, whose scientific name is Ephemera danica, only has a few days to fly, mate and lay new eggs. “What makes the mayfly unique is its life cycle: from the egg laid in the water to the insect capable of flight and mating, which dies af-

ter a few days,� said Thomas Schmitt, chairman of the commission of scientists and representatives from research institutions and conservation organizations from Germany, Austria and Switzerland that made the choice.

Mayflies have existed for about 355 million years and today some 140 species live in Central Europe, the commission said.

Despite their fleeting time on earth in their final form, their developmental cycle is quite long.

Finding the ‘cure’ for her baby fever Hi, Carolyn: Lately, I’ve wanted another kid. I’m already lucky enough to have a 4-yearold and a supportive partner. I’m now in my early 40s and two years ago, I discovered I couldn’t have any more kids. My husband and I knew it was a possibility.

I was interested in pursuing adoption and he’s interested in looking into a donor egg.

We went to an adoption information session, but my husband left discouraged.

He’s incredibly content with our family situation, as am I. Sometimes I think another kid in our family would add so much, a sibling for our son to play with, and I just think kids are wonderful. But I also love our family as-is. What do you think? Happy one-and-done, or maybe two-and-done? My husband also thinks it would be too disruptive for our son.

— Baby Fever

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax

Baby Fever: There’s an easy answer here, if you want it: To have another child would involve a significant effort — which means anything less than 100 percent enthusiasm from both of you says “one and done.”

There are also some creative answers out there, also if you want them: I’m reading between the lines a bit, but I take it you’re a happy, strong, mature little family unit with some means and some extra love and energy to give. A second child isn’t the only possible place to put that stability, love and money.

Look around, see who or what needs you. I wrote a while back about two neglected adolescents, and all I could think about was how many people

would love to step in to help them if they only knew of the need to.

So, here’s a chance for you to look around, ask around, give of yourself. Call your local child services to learn various ways to give.

The third answer is a kind of hedge: Keep doing the research, keep discussing and even get into the early stages of the family-building process you choose.

There is a famously long time ahead of you before you’d actually have a child, so you might have plenty more time to think.

Re: Baby Fever: If a main motivator for having another child is to provide a playmate for your current child, you may want to rethink things. The age gap is already four years and could be five or six years by the time you have another child.

That’s a wide gap and unlikely to result in besties.

How effective are N95 masks?

Dear Dr. Roach: With all the misinformation flying around, can you comment on whether it’s a good idea to wear N95 masks if you have them on hand?

— F.C. Answer: N95 masks are the standard for personal protective equipment for most health care providers in the hospital. Ideally, health care workers would have enough N95 masks to use them with every patient suspected of having COVID-19, but unfortunately, there remain shortages in many areas of the country.

Many hospital workers still reuse the masks, or reserve them for the highest risk situations,

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health such as a procedure on a person known to have COVID-19 lung disease.

Because of the nationwide shortage, it is difficult to get the certified N95 masks.

Many hospitals have obtained KN95 masks, but recent studies have shown that up to 70% of KN95 masks are inadequate. This makes it particularly important that N95 masks are reserved for when they are really necessary. If you have any unopened N95

masks, your local hospital will be delighted to give them to frontline workers. You may help save lives. However, if you have an already used N95 mask, you may certainly continue to use it as long as it provides a tight fit.

A well-made cotton mask, whether storebought or homemade, provides good protection in combination with adequate physical distancing. Masks have made a big difference on slowing the growth of the COVID-19 pandemic in the world. Two or more layers provide protection as good as you can get without a certified N95 mask.

Anonymous: Good point, thanks, though even siblings with a substantial age gap can bring enormous benefits to each other in so many ways.

Of course, they can also torment each other — even kids close in age aren’t guaranteed to “result in besties” — so your point works best when applied broadly: No emotional or logistical outcomes are guaranteed. Look at it that way, and the only reason to have a child that stands up to scrutiny is wanting to have a child.

If I had my way, though, we’d change the saying from having a baby/child/kid to having a person. That really brings home, doesn’t it, what parents are committing to?

(AP) — Vanderbilt’s Sarah Fuller, the most famous walk-on in college football this season, isn’t ready to walk away from the sport.

After the soccer player-turned kicker became the first woman to play in a Power Five conference football game, Fuller said she wants to remain a member of the team.

“I’ll stay around as long as they want me, till they like, kick me off,” Fuller said Sunday. “So I’m here for the long run.”

Fuller stayed in the COVID-19 testing protocol and was attending meetings Sunday with Vanderbilt (0-8), a day after making history by kicking off to open the second half of a 41-0 loss to Missouri. Fuller executed a squib kick that traveled 30 yards before the ball was smothered

by Missouri with no chance for a return.

Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason, who was fired Sunday, turned to Fuller because COVID-19 issues had left the team with few options for kicking specialists.

Graduate transfer Oren Milstein, a 5-foot-7 kicker, had opted out before the season.

The other kickers on the Vanderbilt roster are 6-foot Pierson Cooke and 6-1 Wes Farley. Vanderbilt is just 3-of-7 on field goals this season with Cooke’s 41-yarder at Mississippi State the longest made.

Vanderbilt does not

One legend to miss race

Vanderbilt’s Sarah Fuller (32) kicks off in the second half against Missouri Saturday. Fuller, a senior goalkeeper on Vanderbilt’s SEC championship soccer team, became the first woman to play in a Power 5 NCAA football game. MIZZOU ATHLETICS/HUNTER DYKE/TNS have a men’s soccer team and the football team wanted to add an athlete already in the school’s COVID-19 protocols.

Mason said Fuller was the best option and on Saturday she was the only kicker suited up for the Commodores.

On Sunday, Fuller said she spoke with special teams coordinator Devin Fitzsimmons about staying with the team and he was in favor of it. Fuller said her longest field goal in practice last week was 38 yards, and she believes she can improve as a kicker with more reps.

“I asked for some film on some NFL kickers

that are comparable to how I kick so I can refine that,” Fuller said.

Vanderbilt visits Georgia on Saturday, and school officials are hoping to reschedule a final home game against Tennessee that was postponed by the Southeastern Conference.

Fuller was trending on social media during and after Saturday’s game. People weighed in both cheering and criticizing the 6-foot-2 senior goalkeeper for making the football team less than a week after helping Vanderbilt win the Southeastern Conference women’s soccer tournament title.

Billie Jean King was

among those supporting Fuller with a tweet noting more sports history had been made.

“Congratulations to @SarahFuller_27, the women players who came before her, the athletes of women’s football, and all those working on both the sidelines and back offices for blazing trails for the next generation,” King wrote.

Fuller said she grew up with the U.S. women’s national soccer team as her role models. That made a tweet of support from Mia Hamm, who wrote on Twitter that she watched with her daughters as Fuller made history, also stand

out amid the social media flood.

But as an athlete, Fuller said she’s used to taking criticism and being able to ignore people whose opinions aren’t important. Being an athlete at a Division I program, regardless of sport means having a strong mental attitude.

“All these little comments and people saying, you know, whatever, it’s nothing because they don’t understand how difficult it can be to just even get to the point of winning an SEC championship,” Fuller said. “And it was just, I mean, luck of the draw that I happened to be available to be a kicker.”

SAKHIR, Bahrain (AP) — Seven-time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton has tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss this weekend’s Sakhir Grand Prix.

The Mercedes team said in a statement today that Hamilton was tested three times last week and returned a negative result each time, the last on Sunday afternoon at the Bahrain International Circuit.

“But he up woke Monday morning with mild symptoms and was informed at the same time that a contact prior to arrival in Bahrain had subsequently tested positive,” the team said. “Lewis, therefore, took a further test and returned a positive result. This has since been confirmed by a retest.”

Hamilton is in isolation in accordance with the health protocols in Bahrain.

“Apart from mild symptoms, he is otherwise fit and well, and the entire team sends him its very best wishes for a swift recovery,” the team statement said.

Tar Heels cruise Bronco’s beset by QB quagmire past UNLV, 78-51 ByARNIE STAPLETON AP Pro Football writer

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina started its first game of the relocated Maui Invitational so badly that it faced an immediate double-digit hole as its Hall of Fame coach benched multiple starters.

The 14th-ranked Tar Heels offered up a confidence-building response to those early troubles.

Freshman RJ Davis scored 16 points to help UNC beat UNLV 78-51 in Monday night’s first round.

After falling behind 13-0, the Tar Heels used a big run spanning halftime and a dominating effort on the glass to advance.

“I told them at the first timeout I wasn’t worried about the score,” coach Roy Williams said. “I was just worried about how we were playing.”

Garrison Brooks added 14 points and surpassed the 1,000-point mark for his career in the first half for the Tar Heels (2-0), who didn’t score for the first 6 1/2 minutes. But UNC closed the gap, then went on a 28-4 run for its own big lead.

The Tar Heels got a big contribution from senior reserve Andrew Platek, who had 11 points and hit a pair of first-half 3-pointers after UNC sputtered out of the tipoff.

“I think we were worried for a second,” Platek said of the players’ reaction to the early deficit. “But then we just knew if we played our principles and played our game plan, we were going to be fine.”

Bryce Hamilton scored 15 points for the Runnin’ Rebels (02), who hit their first five shots. But UNLV made 13 of 57 shots (22.8%) while the Tar Heels snagged seemingly every miss to finish with a 54-35 rebounding advantage.

UNLV led 27-22 on Caleb Grill’s 3-pointer with 4:56 left before halftime, but had one basket over the next 9 1/2 minutes — including an 0-for-10 start after halftime as the Tar Heels turned a 37-30 lead into a 5031 margin on Davis’ 3 with 15:29 left.

“As the game wore on, they picked up the pressure, brought some presses, some traps, denied entries more on the wings and we didn’t do the job we needed to do to be stubborn to get open,” UNLV coach T.J. Otzelberger said.

“And eventually what it did is it just pushed us out on the floor and we were running offense at 35, 40 feet, which is a challenge.”

BIG PICTURE

UNC: The Tar Heels, who climbed three spots in the AP Top 25 poll Monday afternoon, came out so flat that Williams yanked four starters.

But the Tar Heels settled down at both ends — particularly doing a better job of establishing their offense in the paint — and began cruising with confidence.

“I’m hoping that that will be something that will help them, there’s no question,” Williams said.

“But we have got to play better. I mean, you can’t spot a lot of people 13 and think you’re going to come back and win.”

UNLV: The Runnin’ Rebels had a bumpy start to their second year under T.J. Otzelberger, giving up 49 first-half points in a 13-point home loss to Montana State.

Afterward, Otzelberger said UNLV’s “effort, energy and competitive spirit wasn’t where it needed to be.” Things looked better at Monday’s start as the Runnin’ Rebels slowed UNC’s deep front line with double-teams, only to fade badly.

“It wasn’t that the plan started to not work,” Otzelberger said. “It was that we didn’t execute the plan.”

BOARD WORK

Junior wing Leaky Black had a gamehigh 10 rebounds to tie his career high and lead UNC’s rebounding work, while the Tar Heels had six players with at least five boards.

“We know that’s something we can lean on,” said Armando Bacot, who had 12 points and five rebounds.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.

(AP) — Their quarantined quarterback quartet sure left the Denver Broncos in, shall we say, quite the quagmire.

The NFL made the Broncos play without any QBs Sunday, and their 31-3 loss to the Saints serves as a embarrassing example for other teams not to violate the NFL’s COVID-19 mitigation measures.

The Broncos (4-7) are expected to face a hefty fine and loss of a draft pick as a repeat offender of the league’s coronavirus rules, but it’s Drew Lock who could pay the biggest price for goofing up.

Lock has now started 13 games and missed 14 in his moonwalk of an NFL career.

A day after saying he was disappointed his QBs put them in a difficult spot, coach Vic Fangio said Monday the organization’s faith in Lock hasn’t been shaken by this ugly episode.

Lock’s leadership traits, however, will be tested anew in December because he hasn’t shown this season that he’s undeniably the answer under center despite John Elway’s recent vote of confidence.

Lock has played poorly in 2020 — seven touchdown throws, 11 interceptions — and he’s missed 15 quarters of action with a shoulder injury and self-inflicted isolation.

Rookie practice squad receiver Kendall Hinton was thrust into the starting quarterback role with zero practice reps after Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles were disqualified Saturday for having been mask-less around No. 3 QB Jeff Driskel last week before he tested positive for the coronavirus.

Hinton completed more passes to his opponents (two) than to his teammates (one) Sunday when he went 1-for9 for 13 yards and a zero passer rating.

“A lot of respect for this guy,” Saints linebacker Demario Davis tweeted afterward. “He handled this situation like a real pro. I can only imagine the range of emotions and mental download he went through in 24 hrs.”

His teammates gave him props, too.

“Yeah, the results ar-

“But again, it’s just like with my kids. My kids have done things that have disappointed me during their upbringings, but I still love them. And I still love Drew and all of the quarterbacks. They made a mistake that we’re ready to move past.”

Well, not quite.

Fangio said Lock, Rypien and Bortles tested negative again Monday and if they test negative again today, they’ll be allowed back in the building Wednesday.

Still looming over them, however, is discipline from the team, which Fangio said would likely be in the form of fines.
