Families debate: In person or online?

By VICKIE MOSS The Iola Register

Lisa Womelsdorf struggled to decide whether to send her two boys to school or keep them home for online learning this fall because of the coronavirus pandemic.

She filled out all the paperwork for her younger son, Konner, at McKinley Elementary School Tuesday afternoon, except for one piece of paper.

That document asked her to declare the family’s intentions, in-person or online.

Instead, she sat and debated.

Konner, who will be in kindergarten, has a chronic lung disease and asthma. His grandmother has cancer and cannot be exposed to any potential illnesses. Womelsdorf works from home, so someone would be able to stay home with Konner and his older brother, Kolten, a fourth-grader.

On the other hand, Womelsdorf has to work and may not be able to devote enough time to helping them. She previously taught preschool, but doesn’t feel she’d be as effective as a kindergarten teacher.

She doesn’t want her boys to fall behind and risk being held back at the end of the year.

Plus, her boys need social interaction with their peers.

More ballots arrive, more votes pad Symes’s lead

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

Twenty-three more ballots were added to the mix of the primary election.

Allen County Clerk Sherrie Riebel said the 23 ballots that came in Wednesday were postmarked by Tuesday, as mandated by state law to be counted.

The additional votes allowed Bruce Symes to extend his slim lead over challenger John Brocker, albeit slightly, in their Allen County Commission race.

Counting Wednesday’s tally, Symes now leads Brocker by nine votes, 350 votes to 341. As of Tuesday, Symes was seven votes ahead.

The tally will be updated twice more, later this

Medicaid expansion keeps gaining ground

By RICARDO ALONSOZALDIVAR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is still trying to overturn “Obamacare,” but his predecessor’s health care law keeps gaining ground in places where it was once unwelcome.

Missouri voters this week approved Medicaid expansion by a 53% to 47% margin, making the conservative state the seventh to do so under Trump. The Republican president readily carried Missouri in 2016, but the Medicaid vote comes as more people have been losing workplace health insur-

ance in a treacherous coronavirus economy.

That leaves only a dozen states opposed to using the federal-state health program for low-income people as a vehicle for covering more adults, mainly people in jobs that don’t provide health care. Medicaid expansion is a central feature of former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, covering about 12 million people, while nearly 10 million others get subsidized private insurance.

If present trends continue, it’s only a matter of time until all states expand Medicaid, acknowledged Brian See MEDICAID | Page A6

Counties with mask mandates show steep drop in COVID-19

By ROXANA HEGEMAN The Associated Press

BELLE PLAINE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas counties that have mask mandates in place have seen a rapid drop in cases, while counties that only recommend their use have seen no decrease in cases, the state’s top health official said Wednesday.

Dr. Lee Norman, the state health department’s top administrator, said Wednesday that overall statewide the numbers of new cases is favorable, but that the reduction of new cases is entirely in the counties that require masks be worn in public spaces.

After Gov. Laura Kelly put a mask mandate in place last month, 15 counties stayed with the mandate while 90 counties abandoned it, Norman said at a news conference Wednesday.

Norman pointed a

graph showing the seven-day rolling average of cases per 100,000 people comparing counties with the mask mandates with those counties that abandoned it. The favorable trend line down was entirely in the counties that required the use of masks, while the trend line for those without one was flat, he said. “Do masks work?

Here in this natural experiment called Kansas where we have essentially — not due to any great design, but it has worked out that way — some counties have been the control group

with a no mask mandate and some have been the experimental group with masks,�

Norman said. “The experimental group is winning the battle. All improvements in case development comes from those counties wearing masks.�

It is important to understand, he noted, that the 15 counties with mask mandates represent two-thirds of the state’s population and include the more urban cities with greater population densities.

People in those counties rely more on mass transit there and tend

to have more racial and ethnic minority populations that are more likely to be infected by COVID-19.

The declining coronavirus cases per capita in those more urban counties suggest the improvement in the trend lines could be even steeper in rural counties if they had mask mandates in place, he said.

The state health department on Wednesday reported that Kansas has confirmed 29,717 cases since the outbreak began, a 841 increase since the last update on Monday.

The state reported 368 deaths, up three from Monday.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment identified on its website Wednesday 370 outbreaks which have infected 7,853 people and led to 247 of the state’s 368 deaths.

Of particular concern was the 63 corona-

virus cases tied to nine sports clusters because there have been a lot fewer sports this summer than there will be in the fall and winter when schools reopen, Norman said. “Interestingly, we thought there would be a natural protection, if you will, in softball and baseball because you are out in the wide, open air for the most part, but we have had them essentially in all ... sports,� Norman said.

Other large clusters reported Wednesday include 136 at private businesses, 98 at longterm care facilities.

Another 55 outbreaks were from gatherings, nine outbreaks tied to restaurants and bars that resulted in 221 coronavirus infections.

On Wednesday, the Shawnee County Health Department said they have multiple cases linked to Jeremiah Bullfrog Bar and Grille in Topeka, and

warned people who were at the establishment July 24-25 and July 27-28 were at risk of exposure.

In Chanute, Kansas, 11 school administrators who attended a leadership retreat last week in Branson are in quarantine after six of them tested positive for the virus, the Kansas City-Star reported. Superintendent Kellen Adams said their symptoms range from minor to severe, with one being treated in a hospital ICU. He defended the retreat, saying it was necessary to discuss details of how to operate schools during a global pandemic.

Chanute schools are scheduled to open to teachers on Aug. 10 and to students on Aug. 24. Adams said the outbreak among administrators has not, so far, changed that.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo did, however, announce Wednesday that the U.S. would offer a reward of up to $10 million for information that identifies people working with foreign governments to interfere in the U.S. election through illegal cyber activity.

The department detailed a Russian-backed misinformation cycle that spreads false information online through state officials and state-funded media reports, by infiltrating U.S. social media conversation, and leveraging a deceptive internet framework of websites.

The Kremlin’s efforts have most recently focused on conspiracy theories around the pandemic, the report found. “Russia is playing a significant role in creating and spreading misinformation and propaganda around many topics,� said Lea Gabrielle, head of the State Department’s Global Engagement Center.

calling similar assertions “persistent phobia.�

The websites the State Department identified Wednesday have promoted unsupported conspiracy theories that allege COVID-19 was created in a lab as a bioweapon, billionaire Bill Gates is plotting to use the pandemic as an excuse to microchip people, and that plans for a coronavirus vaccine are simply a ploy for pharmaceutical companies to make money. There is no evidence behind those claims.

The origin of the novel coronavirus remains unknown, but the emerging scientific consensus is that humans were first infected in China, at a Wuhan animal market. Around the globe, leaders are investing in a vaccine as the best bet to beat the virus. And Gates has repeatedly rejected that he wants to start tracking people. “Russia has a long history of spreading disinformation around health and science issues,� Gabrielle said. “The Russian disinformation ecosystem exploits fear and confusion.�

While building up a following on Facebook and Twitter, some of the websites have downplayed their ties to Russian intelligence or concealed funding from the Kremlin, the State Department’s report found.

One of the sites, Canadian-based Global Research, has amassed

an audience of nearly 300,000 followers on Facebook. The website regularly publishes articles from fictitious personas created by Russia’s military intelligence service, the GRU. The headline of a recent Global Research article suggested the coronavirus originated in the U.S., and it was shared by a Chinese spokesman on Twitter before the website took the unsubstantiated claim down.

Chinese, Iran and Russian government leaders have regularly echoed one another on social media and in state media reports.

Another website, NewsFront, pitches itself as an “alternative� news source to Western audiences, despite its reported Kremlin funding and being registered with the Russian government, according to the State Department’s report. Facebook removed dozens of accounts and pages associated with NewsFront for inauthentic, coordinated behavior in April.

Most of the other websites are far more fringe, with only small social media followings and articles pushing coronavirus conspiracy theories that have only been shared by the dozens.

Last week, U.S. officials told The Associated Press that Russian intelligence are using another trio of English-language websites to push disinformation about the pandemic.

‘Dynamite’ turns out to be mere snack GREENSBURG — A potentially explosive incident was nothing more than a tasty treat.

The Greensburg Police Department reported Wednesday that emergency crews were summoned when a vehicle was spotted in downtown Greensburg with what appeared to be dynamite attached to its front dash.

After securing the area, law enforcement and fire personnel determined the item in question was a beef stick, still in its wrapper.

There were no explosives found in the vehicle.

The vehicle owner removed the suspicious beef stick from the dash, officers announced in a Facebook post.

Survivors mark 75th anniversary of world’s 1st atomic attack

By MARI YAMAGUCHI The Associated Press

HIROSHIMA, Japan (AP) — Survivors of the world’s first atomic bombing gathered in diminished numbers near an iconic, blasted dome Thursday to mark the attack’s 75th anniversary, many of them urging the world, and their own government, to do more to ban nuclear weapons.

An upsurge of coronavirus cases in Japan meant a much smaller than normal turnout, but the bombing survivors’ message was more urgent than ever.

As their numbers dwindle — their average age is about 83 — many nations have bolstered or maintained their nuclear arsenals, and their own government refuses to sign a nuclear weapons ban treaty.

Amid cries of Japanese government hypocrisy, survivors, their relatives and officials marked the 8:15 a.m. blast anniversary with a minute of silence.

The United States dropped the world’s first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, destroying the city and killing 140,000 people. It dropped a second bomb three days later on Nagasaki, killing another 70,000.

Japan surrendered Aug. 15, ending World War II and its nearly half-century of aggression in Asia.

But the decades since have seen the weapons stockpiling of the Cold War and a nu-

The aftermath of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945. U.S. ARMY clear standoff among nations that continues to this day.

Amid the solemn remembrances at Hiroshima’s peace park, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was confronted Thursday by six members of survivors’ groups over the treaty.

“Could you please respond to our request to sign the Nuclear Weapons Prohibition Treaty?”

Tomoyuki Mimaki, a member of a major survivors’ group, Hidankyo, implored Abe. “The milestone 75th anniversary of the atomic bombing is a chance” to change course.

Abe insisted on Japan’s policy not to sign the treaty, vaguely citing a “different approach,” though he added that the government shares the goal of eliminating nuclear weapons.

“Abe’s actions don’t

seem to match his words,” said Manabu Iwasa, 47, who came to the park to pray for his father, a bombing survivor who died at age 87 in March. “Japan apparently sides with the United States, but it should make more efforts to eliminate nuclear weapons. It’s frustrating, but there is not much we individuals can do.”

Even though Tokyo renounces its own possession, production or hosting of nuclear weapons, Japan is a top U.S. ally, hosts 50,000 American troops and is protected by the U.S. nuclear umbrella. This complicates the push to get Tokyo to sign the treaty adopted in 2017, especially as it steps up its military role amid North Korea’s continuing pursuit of a stronger nuclear program.

Abe, in his speech at the ceremony, said a

nuclear-free world cannot be achieved overnight and it has to start with dialogue.

“Japan’s position is to serve as a bridge between different sides and patiently promote their dialogue and actions to achieve a world without nuclear weapons,” Abe said.

Earlier, Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui urged world leaders to more seriously commit to nuclear disarmament, pointing out Japan’s failures.

“I ask the Japanese government to heed the appeal of the (bombing survivors) to sign, ratify and become a party to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons,” Matsui said in his peace declaration. “As the only nation to suffer a nuclear attack, Japan must persuade the global public to unite with the spirit of Hiroshima.”

Thursday’s peace ceremony at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park was scaled down because of the coronavirus pandemic. The fewer than 1,000 attendees was one-tenth of those attending in past years.

Some survivors and their relatives prayed at the park’s cenotaph before the ceremony.

The registry of the atomic bombing victims is stored at the cenotaph, whose inscription reads, “Let all the souls here rest in peace, for we shall not repeat the mistake.”

“The only way to totally eliminate nuclear risk is to totally eliminate nuclear weapons,” U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres said in a video message from New York for the occasion. Guterres’ expected visit to Hiroshima had to be cancelled because of the coronavirus.

“Seventy-five years is far too long not to have learned that the possession of nuclear weapons diminishes, rather than reinforces, security,” he said. “Today, a world without nuclear weapons seems to be slipping further from our grasp.”

An aging group of survivors, known as hibakusha, feel a growing urgency to tell their stories, in hopes of reaching a younger generation.

Many peace events, including their talks, leading up to the anniversary were canceled because of the coronavirus, but some survi-

vors have teamed with students or pacifist groups to speak at online events, sometimes connecting with international audiences.

The bombing’s survivors lamented the slow progress of nuclear disarmament and expressed anger over what they said was the Japanese government’s reluctance to help and listen to those who suffered. They want world leaders, especially those from nuclear-weapons states, to visit Hiroshima and see the reality of the atomic bombing.

Pope Francis sent a message to organizers of the anniversary commemoration, recalling that he had prayed at the Hiroshima peace memorial during his 2019 visit to Japan and met with bombing survivors.

He repeated what he said Nov. 24 at the peace memorial: “The use of atomic energy for purposes of war is immoral, just as the possessing of nuclear weapons is immoral.”

The Holy See was among the first countries to sign and ratify the U.N. nuclear prohibition treaty.

Keiko Ogura, 84, who survived the atomic bombing at age 8, said she wants non-nuclear states to pressure Japan into signing the treaty.

“Many survivors are offended by the prime minister of this country because he does not sign the nuclear weapons prohibition treaty,” she said.

North Korea’s escalating virus response raises fear of outbreak SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea is quarantining thousands of people and shipping food and other aid to a southern city locked down over coronavirus worries, officials said, as the country’s response to a suspected case reinforces doubt about its longstanding claim to be virus-free.

But amid the outside skepticism and a stream of North Korean propaganda glorifying its virus efforts, an exchange between the country and the United Nations is providing new clarity — and actual numbers — about what might be happening

in North Korea, which has closed its borders and cut travel — never a free-flowing stream — by outsider monitors and journalists.

In late July, North Korea said it had imposed its “maximum emergency system” to guard against the virus spreading after finding a person with COVID-19 symptoms in Kaesong city, near the border with rival South Korea.

State media reported that leader Kim Jong Un then ordered a total lockdown of Kaesong, and said the suspected case was a North Korean who had earlier fled

to South Korea before slipping back into Kaesong last month.

North Korea’s public admission of its first potential case and the emergency steps it took prompted immediate outside speculation that it may be worried about a big outbreak after months of steadfastly claiming it had no cases. Foreign experts are highly skeptical of North Korea’s assertion of no cases, in large part because of its long, porous border with China, where the virus emerged, and its history of hiding past disease outbreaks.

In its current mood of exhaustion and discord, the country might need reminding that, for all its shortcomings, it’s still capable of stirring achievements.

SpaceX deserves plenty of credit for this one. Taking off in May from the same launchpad that served the Apollo missions, the company’s Falcon 9 rocket flawlessly conveyed a reusable Crew Dragon capsule into orbit, where it eventually docked with the International Space Station.

One mainstream choice drew bipartisan support from committee members: Christopher J. Waller, director of research at the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank. The other, quirky pick advanced only with Republican votes: economist Judy Shelton, whose main qualification appears to be the work she did in 2016 for Trump’s campaign.

By law, the Fed has two missions: keeping inflation in check and pushing for full employment. In practice, the Fed board has played a key role in helping the U.S. economy recover from recession, holding down interest rates and making it easier for struggling businesses to obtain loans. The central bank’s efforts have been especially important in the last two decades, as the deep ideological divide among lawmakers has prevented Congress from responding as aggressively as it should to downturns. And after the 2008-2009 recession, the Fed was given new powers for regulating and supervising systemically important fi-

nancial institutions.

Shelton, however, wants to turn back the clock to the days when the Fed didn’t intervene quickly and creatively to help the economy.

She is best known for advocating a rules-based system of monetary policy, where each nation’s currency has a fixed and predictable value.

And in particular, she likes the gold standard, which the United States embraced from its founding until the Fed finally abandoned it in 1973.

The rigid gold standard is the antithesis of modern monetary policy, which seeks to increase the supply of money when credit is dangerously tight and decrease it when inflation is eating away the dollar’s value.

Economists roundly reject the idea of returning to the gold standard. It makes no sense — and ignores the lessons of history — to abandon the central bank’s ability to react to crises in the banking system and the wider economy.

Shelton’s main arguments boil down to nostalgia for a bygone era when countries weren’t so interconnected, trade volumes were lower and savings accounts paid more than negligible interest rates. Returning to the gold standard or other hamstrung monetary policy won’t bring those days back.

Nor is it a good idea to tie the Fed more closely to Congress and the White House, as Shelton favors. Trump may want a Fed board that responds to his needs, but the rest of us need a central bank that tunes out the political noise and focuses on its mission.

Letter to the editor Dear editor:

Many people have worked and spent much money, time and labor making great improvements in Humboldt.

So why start tearing it down by adding more opportunities for drinkers to guzzle down the alcohol? It’s a sad situation when a business has to depend on alcohol to survive.

There used to be a beer joint in a building on the square. What did it benefit Humboldt?

Humboldt is doing much better without it.

Drinking has never made

anyone’s life better. Just the opposite is true. Money wasted on alcohol would be better spent paying your bills and taking care of your children.

I had hoped the county commissioners would have used their common sense and nipped this ridiculous idea in the bud.

Bonnie Johnson Iola, Kan. (Editor’s note: The commissioners agreed Tuesday to send a proposal loosening the county’s liquor-by-thedrink laws to county voters in November.)

Let’s deal Last Friday, the $600-per-week Pandemic Unemployment Assistance — an additional payment for desperate Americans above state unemployment checks — expired. The previous week saw the end of eviction protections for many renters.

As the coronavirus ravages more states than ever, things are getting worse.

Not only have jobless claims exceeded 1 million for 19 weeks in a row, the last two weeks saw mounting increases.

In New York alone, 1.8 million are unemployed and nearly a million face potential eviction when state protections lapse.

Yet over the weekend and through Tuesday, negotiations between Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer remained stalled.

On the sidelines: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. House Democrats passed their stimulus bill nearly three months ago; the Senate GOP began scrambling three weeks ago.

Republicans both suggest the $600-a-week discourages the unemployed going back to work and float the notion of extending the enhanced benefits for a few weeks. Democrats rightly reject that given that the level of the crisis requires relief for months to come. Many states and localities, New York chief among them, need direct aid to their coffers. Many transit systems are in the red.

If schools have any hope of reopening as the president is demanding, more funding is essential.

This is a catastrophic failure that could be solved if the president pressed his partisan allies in the Senate to deal.

Good fences make good neighbors There’s an adage that good fences make good neighbors.

When U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service filed a water impairment notice with the Kansas Department of Agriculture regarding water rights at Quivira National Wildlife Refuge in 2013, it posed a grave threat to the region. The fences between local communities and the federal government weren’t looking so good in central Kansas.

If an agreement is not met, farmers and ranchers in the Big Bend Groundwater Management District 5 would have had to stop irrigating their crops, and the area would have seen a major decrease in population, forcing businesses to close and farmers to give up their land. The citizens of Barton, Edwards, Kiowa, Pawnee, Pratt, Reno and Rice counties, which the district covers, would ultimately pay the price.

It appears fences are in the process of being mended.

The Hutchinson News’ Alice Manette reported over the weekend a solu-

tion is in the works that will satisfy both the wildlife refuge and the area communities impacted by the notice. With the help of U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., Quivira National Wildlife Refuge, the U.S. government and area farmers and their representatives, an agreement over water rights at Quivira was signed on July 25.

The newly appointed director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Aurelia Skipwith, signed the memorandum of agreement in St. John. Skipwith, who was brought up in Indiana, said one of the desires of the Wildlife Service is to be a “good neighbor.”

This is what neighbors do when fences need mending.

They come together to agree on a solution.

The agreement calls for implementation of water augmentation, retires some water rights in sensitive areas, moving rights to others, and for the removal of invasive trees from Quivira and Rattlesnake Creek, which flows through the community and the reserve. It’s not the final step, but it’s a

step in the right direction.

A study still needs to take place before all parties can sign off, but it’s forward progress nevertheless.

The News reported that if an agreement had not been reached, the economic impact to the region would cause a reduction in agriculture of more than $300 million a year. The ripple effect would have been enormous.

“We want to make sure we are not just regulating,” Moran said. “The ability of farmers in central Kansas to make a living determines the future of the communities in central Kansas. This isn’t only about farmers and ranchers; it is about the future of rural communities.”

We agree, Senator. Thank you for stepping in with Director Skipwith to help make this happen.

It appears that your work has created a workable solution for all stakeholders involved. That’s a very neighborly solution. A very Kansas solution.

Keep working to mend those fences neighbors.

School: Families decide between in-person, online learning Continued from A1

They’ve been playing only with each other for months now.

“They need the social aspect. That’s so important,” she said.

“Konner was pretty excited when he walked into the building, so I think we’re leaning in that direction.”

Womelsdorf and other families across Allen County are enrolling in school this week. All three districts are asking parents to tell them what type of learning they intend for this fall, in-person or online.

There’s no wrong answer, local physician Dr. Brian Neely, with Allen County Regional Hospital’s Iola clinic, said.

“Whatever you’re comfortable with is the way to go,” he said.

“This is the first time any of us have had to deal with something like this, and no one knows how it’s going to go.

“If you’re not comfortable putting your kids back in school the way things are, I don’t fault anyone for that.

And if you are comfortable putting your kids in school, that’s OK too.”

Neely supports asking students and staff to wear masks while at

Gaelle Blanc follows directions to draw shapes as part of a kindergarten screening at McKinley Elementary School. REGISTER/VICKIE MOSS school. He believes children will adapt to the masks much more easily than adults. He’s seen that with the children who visit the clinic.

“Most of them do pretty well with it,” he said.

By the end of the day, Womelsdorf and her husband made the decision to enroll their boys for in-person learning.

“Their mental health is just as important,” she said. “If at some point we feel as if they can’t handle it, we will pull them and switch to virtual.”

SOME PARENTS don’t have the option to keep children at home, because of work or other obligations.

Gefte and Geraldine Blanc plan to send their

afternoon and then again Friday afternoon, the deadline for mail-in ballots.

Also still in the mix are 49 provisional ballots that will be scrutinized when county commissioners certify the election on Tuesday.

A provisional ballot is marked when a voter’s registration status is in question.

There are several reasons a poll worker may mark a ballot as provisional, Riebel noted, such as if the name or addresses on the voter roles do not match, or if a voter has gotten married or otherwise changed their name. Occasionally, a registered voter may show up on Election Day at the wrong polling place as well.

Waiting until next week to certify the election allows Riebel and others in the County Clerk’s office to investigate each provisional ballot to determine a vote’s validity.

There are several instances for a provisional ballot to be rejected as well, she noted, such as if a voter has failed to register in time; if a voter had already cast an advance ballot before showing up at the polls on Election Day; if they’ve moved out of their previous voting district and didn’t re-register; or if their voting privileges have been suspended because of a felony conviction.

“There’s a good possibility they’ll be counted,” Riebel said.

IOLA HIGH School teacher Amanda Belknap plans to keep her three children home for remote learning. One of her children has asthma. She also hopes to somehow teach from home.

“We also don’t feel comfortable having the kids around hundreds of kids each day,” Belknap said. “The buildings are old and have terrible ventilation, most kids won’t keep masks on all day, and we’ve been isolated since March.”

Her children are good students and responsible, Belknap said, so she is confident they will do well with online learning even if she must re-

turn to school.

AT IHS Wednesday afternoon, several families who enrolled said they plan to attend in-person classes. All cited social interaction as their primary motivation. Staff at the school said the majority of enrollees were choosing in-person, with about 20 so far opting out. Enrollment continued today until noon.

Tammy Womelsdorf, with daughters Katelyn, an eighth grader, and Ember, a junior, will attend in-person classes for practical reasons: working parents and a shared computer.

“I just think the benefit of having a teacher in the room is better,” Tammy Womelsdorf said.

“You learn more,” Ember added.

Tiffany Young said her children both want to go back to school.

One will be in kindergarten and the other in 10th grade. Her oldest struggled with not being able to see friends when school was canceled last spring.

Sophomore Brian Rojas said it’s easier to learn when he has a teacher to help guide him.

Sophomore Olivia Tremain is look-

ing forward to seeing her friends again. She thinks she’s better at hands-on learning, and online learning last spring was very difficult.

Her mom, Sheila Tremain, is confident the district will keep students healthy.

Ally Ellis will be a junior and said she believes the socialization from in-person learning will be better for students’ mental health.

She’s involved in several clubs, plays volleyball and runs track. So far, she expects those activities to continue.

Ally was most worried by the unknowns.

What if the school year gets canceled again?

What if she can’t play sports?

“Everything is up in the air and that’s very hard,” she said.

Her mom, Katie Ellis, who is also a second-grade teacher, said she doesn’t believe students should be forced to wear a mask and wonders how difficult it will be to enforce in her classroom.

Asking young children to practice social distancing also will be difficult, she said. “I feel like we’re asking kids to do things they don’t naturally do.”

daughter, Gaelle, to McKinley for kindergarten this fall.

Both work full-time, so keeping Gaelle and her younger brother at home isn’t possible.

They’re worried how they might adjust their schedules if there’s an outbreak that forces her back home.

“Our schedules are pretty packed. We don’t have the time to set aside to homeschool or do the things homeschool parents would do,” Geraldine said.

“Going to school now will set the foundation if we have to continue at home later.”

They’re also worried, though, how well Gaelle will do with the restrictions the school has put in place because of the coronavirus.

Districts will ask students to wear masks, wash hands frequently, and take their temperature at the start of the day. They’ll be asked to maintain social distancing guidelines, staying away from others as much as possible and isolating when sick.

“She’s pretty young, so trying to get her to follow COVID-19’s best practices is going to be hard,” Geraldine said.

“Wearing a mask all the time is going to be very uncomfortable. It’s going to take some getting used to.”

decisive enough that the mail-in and provisional ballots will carry no significance before the primary vote is certified.

David Lee’s lead over Craig Mentzer remains at 124 votes for the Allen County Commission District 2 race. Lee will be the Republican nominee in November against Michelle Meiwes, Democrat.

The Symes-Brocker winner will face no Democratic opposition in November.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly 1.2 million laid-off Americans applied for state unemployment benefits last week, evidence that the coronavirus keeps forcing companies to slash jobs just as a critical $600 weekly federal jobless payment has expired.

The government’s report today did offer a smidgen of hopeful news: The number of jobless claims declined by 249,000 from the previous week, after rising for two straight weeks, and it was the lowest to-

tal since mid-March.

Still, claims remain at alarmingly high levels: It is the 20th straight week that at least 1 million people have sought jobless aid. Before the pandemic hit hard in March, the number of Americans seeking unemployment checks had never surpassed 700,000 in a week, not even during the Great Recession of 2007-2009.

Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, called the drop in weekly claims “a move in the right direc-

tion.’’ But in a research note, she added: “Repeated shutdowns for virus containment remain a threat to the labor market, which is already weak. The possibility of mounting lay-

offs that could become permanent is high.

Without effective virus containment, the recovery remains at risk from ongoing job losses that could further restrain incomes and spending.’’

Medicaid: Voters in red states approve expansion Continued from A1

Blase, a former health care adviser in the Trump White House, who remains opposed to the expansion.

“Medicaid expansion is terrible policy, but it is attractive to states because it’s almost all federal spending and the insurance companies and hospitals get lots of dollars when a state expands Medicaid,” he said.

The federal government pays 90% of the cost of covering people through the expansion, a much higher matching share than for low-income disabled and elderly people traditionally covered by Medicaid.

Blase argues that’s an incentive to waste federal dollars. Before the ACA, most low-income adults couldn’t get Medicaid unless they were caring for children.

“There’s lots of political pressure to expand,” said Blase. “Eventually all states are going to expand unless the en-

There’s lots of political pressure to expand. Eventually all states are going to expand unless the enhanced (federal) match rate changes.

hanced (federal) match rate changes.”

Voters in another conservative state — Oklahoma — approved a Medicaid expansion earlier this year, although the margin was much closer than in Missouri. Of the seven states that have expanded Medicaid in the Trump years, six have done so by referendum, said Rachel Garfield, a senior policy expert with the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation.

“This is an indication that there is large popular support for providing health care coverage

for low-income people, and it is quite possible that this support has increased given what’s going on with the pandemic,” Garfield said.

The six states where voters have approved Medicaid expansion in the Trump years are Idaho, Maine, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Utah. In Virginia, the legislature passed a Medicaid expansion after Democrats made political gains.

“That has been an interesting feature of the Trump administration, that momentum among the states to expand Medicaid has not

slowed down,” said Jesse Cross-Call, a policy expert with the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which advocates for low-income people.

Trump is trying to persuade the Supreme Court to toss out “Obamacare,” but as long as it remains the law his administration has to carry out expansions that states approve. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden would ask Congress to provide coverage where states have refused.

In Missouri, support for Medicaid expansion in cities and suburbs overcame opposition in rural communities.

Supporters used the coronavirus pandemic to highlight the need for health care, especially in the wake of joblessness and loss of employer-provided insurance. The Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry, one of the state’s most influential

business groups, also pushed for expansion as a way of helping the economy recover after COVID-19.

Cindy Mann, who ran Medicaid under Obama, argues that there’s also a strong fairness argument for expansion. About 4.5 million poor adults live in states that have resisted expanding Medicaid. But because of the way the Obama health law is written, they don’t qualify for subsidized private insurance through marketplaces like HealthCare.gov and they’re stuck in a coverage gap.

“Those people have no access to coverage,” said Mann, now with the Manatt Health consultancy. “Those are a lot of the so-called essential workers, if we think about it through the COVID lens. It’s a really inequitable story and one that increasingly can’t be tolerated by the public.”

BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanese officials targeted in the investigation of the massive blast that tore through Beirut sought to shift blame for the presence of explosives at the city’s port, and the visiting French president warned today that without serious reforms the country would “continue to sink.”

The blast Tuesday, which appeared to have been caused by an accidental fire that ignited a warehouse full of ammonium nitrate at the city’s port, rippled across the Lebanese capital, killing at least 135 people, injuring more than 5,000 and causing widespread destruction.

It also may have accelerated the country’s coronavirus outbreak, as thousands flooded into hospitals in the wake of the blast.

Tens of thousands have been forced to move in with relatives and friends after their homes were damaged, further raising the risks of exposure.

French President Emmanuel Macron visited today amid widespread pledges of international aid. But Lebanon, which was already mired in a severe economic crisis, faces a daunting challenge in rebuilding. It’s unclear how much support the international community will offer the notoriously corrupt and dysfunctional government.

Macron, who viewed the devastated port and was to meet with senior Lebanese officials, said the visit is “an opportunity to have a frank and challenging dialogue with the Lebanese political powers and institutions.”

He said France will work to coordinate aid but warned that “if reforms are not made, Lebanon will continue to sink.”

National Football League: Kansas City Chiefs

Unusual offseason gets a boost Chiefs find replacement for departing lineman

By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish throws in the sixth inning against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., Wednesday. The Cubs won, 6-1.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kelechi Osemele was at a birthday party with his girlfriend in a park not long ago when his phone rang, and the two-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman ducked away from the noise to find out who was on the other end.

It turned out the Kansas City Chiefs were interested in him.

They had just had starting right guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif opt out of the season, the trained physician preferring to stay in Canada and help patients dealing with COVID-19. So not only did Osemele suddenly have an opportunity to join the Super Bowl champions, he also would have the chance to slide into a starting spot protecting Patrick Mahomes.

“The first thing I thought of was playing with Mahomes,” Osemele said. “I accidentally leaked his phone number — on Instagram I did a video and it had his number on there and I had to take it down real quick.

Yeah, I was pretty hyped. My agent called and instantly I thought about, ‘This is a really good team. I have a chance to win a championship.’ I haven’t won one. I thought im-

Cubs keep pressure on Royals KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Yu Darvish pitched seven sharp innings and the Chicago Cubs beat the skidding Kansas City Royals 6-1 on Wednesday night for their sixth straight victory.

Javier Báez drove in two runs for the Cubs (10-2), who handed Kansas City its sixth consecutive defeat. Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo each had two hits and scored twice.

Darvish (2-1) was in midseason form for the second straight outing. He gave up five hits, struck out four and walked one.

mediately, ‘This would be a beautiful way to kind of cap off a long NFL career.’”

It didn’t just work out well for Osemele, though. It worked out quite nicely for the Chiefs.

In fact, the Chiefs have been fortunate that the two players that they’ve had opt out so far — running back Damien Williams chose not to play while his mother battles cancer — are at positions

that they have bolstered in a big way.

On the offensive line, Osemele joins returning backups Ryan Hunter and Nick Allegretti, veteran addition Mike Remmers and third-round draft pick Lucas Niang. At running back, the Chiefs drafted Clyde Edwards-Helaire in the first round and signed veterans DeAndre Washington and Elijah McGuire to join sec-

ond-year pro Darwin Thompson and Darrel Williams.

“Larry and Damien are really good players,” Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said, “but when you go into training camp, you have things that happen that you don’t anticipate. The running back, in a weird way, we were envisioning this one-two punch of Damien and Clyde, and we felt like Clyde was the best player on the board. We’re very blessed that we have that right now with Clyde, and then the same thing with the offensive line. We’re fortunate to have some numbers.”

Not just numbers at each position, but quality talent that ultimately could provide an upgrade.

Osemele was a second-round pick of the Ravens who became a stalwart on their offensive line before signing a big contract with the AFC West rival Raiders. He was an All-Pro in 2016 while going to back-toback Pro Bowls before signing with the Jets, where he played just three games last season amid a dispute with management over a shoulder injury.

Osemele opted to have the procedure against their wishes, and he was released after what became a nasty spat.

He prefers not to discuss the whole ordeal these days, instead looking ahead to what is already a much better fit.

“What stood out to me the most is they were so relaxed.

College Football: COVID-19

College football grapples with playing amid a pandemic

By MATT BAKER Tampa Bay Times

The mental gymnastics needed to justify major college football became even harder to execute Wednesday after the latest rush of concerning coronavirus updates.

Start at UConn, which became the first Division I-A program to cancel its football season. The independent Huskies could have blamed their decision on scheduling difficulties as conferences opt for league-only seasons. Instead, they repeatedly cited health concerns.

"The safety challenges created by COVID-19 place our football student-athletes at an unacceptable level of risk," athletic director David Benedict said.

Then the NCAA's Board of Governors announced that all three of the association's divisions have until Aug. 21 to decide individually whether to try to hold championships this fall. By the end of the day, Division II and Division

Ohio Stadium holds more than 100,000 fans on gamedays. WIKIPEDIA.ORG III had canceled their events, including cross country regionals at Saint Leo and soccer semifinals/ finals at the University of Tampa's Pepin Stadium.

On its own, the news wasn't startling; many D-III conferences had already bailed on the fall. But the decision cre-

ates another logic pretzel SEC and ACC administrators will have to twist into if they want to kick off next month.

One division believes it's too unsafe for participants in what the NCAA considers a medium-contact sport (cross country) to compete for championships this fall. Yet

it's safe enough for athletes in a high-contact sport (football) to suit up?

The contradictions keep going. The Sunshine State Conference is among the smaller leagues that suspended fall sports last month. That means it's too much for the University of Tampa to play volley-

ball, but it's okay for USF to open preseason football camp across town Friday?

Some major schools, including USC, Cal and Rutgers, plan to start the fall semester online or at least hold most classes virtually. So studying See NCAA | Page B6

Dave Karger OF ‘SUMMER UNDER THE STARS’

ON TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES Also, we have “The Stalking Moon,” a Western she made with Gregory Peck – and also with Robert Forster, who is someone else just adored.

It’s so cool to see him in one of his first movies; he was in his 20s, playing a man who was half-Native American, which he did several times in his career. It was a breakout performance for him.

Are other showcased stars particular standouts for you this time?

Of the talents whose films you get to introduce during this year’s “Summer Under the Stars” month, you have a special affinity for Eva Marie Saint (whose “day” is Aug. 29). What would you say about her?

She is just a delight. I had the opportunity to meet her at the TCM Classic Film Festival a few years ago and do a live interview with her, and she charmed me so much. It was an absolute thrill to get to meet her, and I’m such an Oscar nerd, I’m excited that one of the movies I get to introduce is “On the Waterfront.” She’s in that rare group of performers who won an Oscar for their very first film.

The Real Let’s Make a Deal Jerry Jerry

Another one I’m really excited about, because I get to learn more about her, is Nina Foch (Saturday, Aug. 15). I’m such a fan of “Executive Suite,” and I think it’s so fascinating that in the midst of this cast – William Holden and Fredric March and Shelley Winters – she’s the one who got the Oscar nomination. She didn’t get top billing with the others, but she’s the one who emerged with that.

Are there any movies you might have introduced that you’re sorry not to see on your “Summer Under the Stars” watch?

Where’s “The Quiet Man”? It’s not on Maureen O’Hara’s day (Aug. 17). Maybe it wasn’t available.

How to handle workplace attraction Dear Carolyn: For the past year I’ve been engaged to a wonderful woman who I’ve known for over three years. I’ve recently developed strong feelings for a younger colleague who I started mentoring. She is married and as far as I can tell the marriage is okay. She is very attractive and I also find her extremely intelligent and engaging.

We’re both introverts but interacting with her refreshes me in a way I have not experienced in a long time.

We have been working long days together on a high-priority project, and I get the impression both of us are holding back about our mutual

attraction. Sometimes I catch her looking at me in a way that seems to indicate she’s also thinking about me. The nature of our job requires that we spend a lot of time in close proximity, making it increasingly impossible to ignore how I feel about her.

I don’t know what to do. When I go home, I’m reminded of how great my fiancee is and I feel guilty for this incredible attraction to my colleague, but I can’t help how I feel. This project will be continuing on and I am worried I will say something to make things awkward, but I’m also worried that if I don’t say anything I’ll always wonder what

might have been. What should I do?

— Speak Up or Forever Hold My Peace Speak Up or Forever Hold My Peace: Wait a minute. Your possible to-do list is all about what you say or don’t say or feel or don’t feel about your colleague — but your focus belongs on your fiancee.

She can be great, brilliant, Best in Planet, and still not be right for you.

Is that what is going on here? Or, I should say, is that what your attraction to your colleague is trying to tell you?

Crushes happen, obviously, and I could run testimonials all day from people still happily

Should you fail therein judgment and decree will be entered in due course upon said petition.

Nancy Hilt, Plaintiff

married who have endured passing extramarital crushes.

But you’re not married yet, or just prematurely, before you knew what kind of connection to a person was possible. Mentally put your choice of life partner to the challenge presented by this new information.

Do this without involving your colleague or entertaining any idea of being with her, because she’s married.

Plus, her glances at you could just mean she’s unnerved by your glances at her. Regardless, pull back immediately. She’s a “no.”

So this rethink is not Fiancee vs. Colleague, it’s about whether you need to free yourself to find elsewhere the kind of feelings you now realize are possible — or whether your imagination is having itself a fling.

It’s also the right thing to do for your fiancee, who we can safely presume wants to be your uncontested top choice.

And would rather know now, not five years from now, if she isn’t.

er David Ross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought he really took off after we took the lead.â&#x20AC;?

With the score 2-1, the Royalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best chance to tie the game came in the sixth when Whit Merrifield was on third with one out. Darvish struck out Ryan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hearn and retired Salvador Perez on a grounder, ending the threat.

The Cubs capitalized on one bad stretch for Royals starter Kris Bubic, who set down his first nine batters, including four strikeouts, before Bryant singled in the fourth.

Rizzo followed with a walk, and then a bloop hit by BĂĄez tied it 1-all.

Willson Contreras grounded into a double play, but Rizzo scored to give the Cubs a 2-1 lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guys had great at-bats and baserunning,â&#x20AC;? Ross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The attention to detail has been really good.â&#x20AC;?

started the scoring in the third when a double off the left-field wall by Maikel Franco was followed by Nicky Lopezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single, but a potential big inning was thwarted when Merrifield grounded into a 1-4-3 double play.

The Cubs took advantage of two fielding mistakes in the eighth and ninth, tacking on four runs to make it 6-1.

Bubic (0-2), making his second career start, went six innings and gave up two runs. He struck out six. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was exactly what we were looking for,â&#x20AC;? Royals manager Mike Matheny said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His changeup was really good and breaking ball was good, too.â&#x20AC;?

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The American Royal will not hold this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Series of Barbecue because it could not find a way to make the event safe during the coronavirus pandemic, the organization announced Tuesday.

Glen Alan Phillips, president and CEO of the American Royal Association, said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;painfulâ&#x20AC;? to cancel the barbecue contest for

the first time since it began, The Kansas City Star reported.

The barbecue, which draws competitors from more than 30 states and

several countries, was scheduled for Sept. 17-20 at the Kansas Speedway, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gets really challenging to have a large public component to your event, which then leads to major financial revenue issues with not being able to sell tickets,â&#x20AC;? Phillips said.

The organization also canceled this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pro Rodeo, which was scheduled for Sept.

25-26.

They were so loose, out there having fun, cracking jokes in the huddle,â&#x20AC;?

Osemele said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came from places where everyone was so serious, so that was cool.â&#x20AC;?

Along with protecting Mahomes, the reigning Super Bowl MVP, Osemele also will be tasked with carving out space for a deep stable of running backs â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

even without Williams, who was so crucial in the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; championship run.

Edwards-Helaire will be counted upon to help immediately, even though his offseason was limited to virtual meetings because of the coronavirus and the decision to eliminate preseason games means his first true NFL action will be

Week 1.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have plenty of help, though. Thompson learned the intricacies of coach Andy Reidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vast playbook last season and can pass along that knowledge.

McGuire appeared in 24 games and ran for nearly 600 yards over the past two seasons with the Jets, while Washington appeared in 55 games and ran for more

than 1,100 yards in four seasons with the Raiders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky we have a pretty good nucleus of running backs,â&#x20AC;?

Reid said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be great to have Damien, but on the other hand, if you have to pick a position you have some talent, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a position we can work with.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in pretty good position.â&#x20AC;?

classes virtually. So studying English or engineering in a classroom together during the week is too risky, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine for classmates to block and tackle on weekends?

The only way to start accepting the contradictions is to say the quiet part out loud: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the money.

The generous view is that major football programs with deep pock-

ets are best positioned to make practices and games as safe as possible. South Carolina coach Will Muschamp told reporters Wednesday that the SEC plans to test three times a week. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the type of worthwhile expense only big programs can afford.

The NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Governors acknowledged as much Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We understand that

each divisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary focus is health and safety, and some may not be similarly situated in terms of whether its members and governance structure have the resources available to take the necessary precautions (for regular-season competition or championships) given the health data trends and the spread of COVID-19,â&#x20AC;? the board wrote.

they can make it work financially, then the board doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them to be overruled by the have-nots.

The cynical financial view is that big-time programs have more to lose. A fall without football would create an economic crisis across college sports and their communities.

Athletic departments arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sympathetic entities. Administrators have been spending excessively for years through gold-plated facilities, skyrocketing salaries and armies of analysts.

But abandoning the

season wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only trim the wasteful expenses. It would cut deep into departments, affecting the livelihoods of hard-working men and women. It would harm, if not wipe out, some non-revenue sports, limiting the educational and Olympic opportunities for current and future athletes.

The potential financial devastation is important to consider.

Just not as important as the health of players, coaches and the public.

The Big Ten seems to understand this point.

When it unveiled its updated conference-on-

ly schedule Wednesday morning, the league stressed that â&#x20AC;&#x153;issuing a schedule does not guarantee that competition will occur,â&#x20AC;? if the â&#x20AC;&#x153;alarmingâ&#x20AC;? spread of the virus does not slow.

The harsh injection of reality into an announcement of optimism was a vital public acknowledgement of where college sports and the country stand, almost five months into the pandemic.

The idea of major college football this fall isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only becoming hard to envision. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming harder to rationalize.
