Daniel Kays, director of the Bowlus Fine Arts Center, couldn’t help but get a little emotional as he listened to musician Albert Cummings and his band perform in September.

The audience tapped along to the beat, laughed Daniel Kays and applauded.

Finally, there was music on the stage again, after six months of silence that had cut short the 2020 season.

“It was cathartic to have

live music back, to be laughing and applauding,” Kays said. “It’s about experiencing something as a community.”

The performing arts, locally as well as globally, are

taking a significant from the COVID-19 pandemic. Venues continue to cancel shows for fear of spreading infection.

“It’s decimated our industry,” Kays said. “It’s like one

step forward, six steps back.”

The Bowlus staff has been scrambling for months to salvage the 2019-2020 season and prepare for the next. It hasn’t been easy.

Three shows were cut from last season and only one — Albert Cummings on Sept. 19 — was able to be rescheduled.

Kays planned to announce the new season Sept. 24. Initially, he’d planned to have shows starting as early as September, but their dates kept getting pushed back.

Kays said he still doesn’t know when he can announce the new season.

Local shows, though, will go on.

County reports 25 new COVID cases

Trump returns to White House WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump staged a dramatic return to the White House after leaving the military hospital where he was receiving an unprecedented level of care for COVID-19. He immediately ignited a new controversy by declaring that despite his illness the nation should not fear the virus that has killed more than 210,000 Americans — and then he entered the White House without a protective mask.

Trump’s message alarmed infectious disease experts and suggested the president’s own illness had not caused him to rethink his often-cavalier attitude toward the disease, which has also infected the first lady and several White House aides, including new cases revealed Monday.

Another 25 cases of COVID-19 were reported in Allen County this past week, bringing the county’s total to 97 since the pandemic began with one death.

More than half of those cases — 52 — were reported in the past two weeks, according to statistics released by the Southeast Kansas Multi-County Health Departments.

Five cases have required hospitalization.

All four of the counties in the regional health department have reported an increase in cases, but none as

significant as Allen.

Anderson reported three new cases, bringing its total to 86. Two people have been hospitalized.

Bourbon County reported 14 new cases this past week for a total of 212 with three deaths. Ten Bourbon County residents have been hospitalized.

Woodson reported three new cases for a total of 24.

Two people have been hospitalized.

Kansas reported 62,708 cases Monday, an increase of 1,597 since Friday, with eight more deaths for a total of 706, according to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

The name Caroline Cooney may be a “blast from the past” for many readers. She made her reputation writing 90 young adult novels, notably “The Face on the Milk Carton.” Now Cooney has turned to adult thrillers, and “Before She Was Helen” may get her a whole new — or returning — fan base. Clemmie lives in a South Carolina retirement community.

As a small town teenager in the 1950s, she was stalked and raped by the town’s beloved basketball coach. He was later murdered. Clemmie escaped from that life, living under an assumed name for over 50 years now. One day she takes a photo of a beautiful object and sends it to her nephew. When he shares it, it makes Clemmie the target of a drug ring. Simultaneously, the cold case of her rapist’s murder is re-opened, putting her in jeopardy from two

directions. Cooney herself lives in the retirement community portrayed in the novel and says she hopes she can still live there now that the book is out.

To stick with crime novels and elderly protagonists, albeit in a decidedly more light-hearted tone, next up is “The Thursday Murder Club”

by Richard Osman. In this witty mystery, four residents of a British retirement village meet weekly to discuss unsolved murder cases.

The four were formerly a nurse, a psychiatrist, a labor activist, and a spy.

They are particularly interested in a case where the killer left a photo

From Tulum to Cozumel, tourism-dependent communities still being soaked Tuesday by the remnants of Tropical Storm Gamma could bear the brunt of the storm.

“I honestly don’t see much that will stop it until it reaches Yucatan, due to low vertical wind shear, high deep-layer moisture, and the very warm and deep waters of the northwestern Caribbean,” National Hurricane Center forecaster Eric Blake said.

The nonfiction book “The Last Million” by David Nasaw is about displaced persons in Germany at the end of World War II. Many had been taken there as slave labor and had no obvious place to safely return to.

There were Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians whose countries had been gobbled up by the Soviet Union. There were Poles, Ukrainians, and others for whom returning to a Communist governed region might mean death, or at least misery. And, incredibly, there were about a quarter of a million Jews who survived the Holocaust.

The victorious Allies, including the United States, were reluctant to open their doors to these people. The book takes a look at a little-known aspect of the immediate postwar world.

Ken Follett has another historical fiction book with “The Evening and the Morning,” set in England from 997-1007 A.D. It’s a prequel to “Pillars of the Earth.” While readers will learn something about the origins of Kingsbridge priory and cathedral, the novel also stands alone. It’s set during a time when England is under threat from both Vikings and the Welsh. As in other Follett historical books, several characters’ stories are told. There is Edgar, a young boatbuilder who has lost his livelihood, his father, and his love in a Viking raid.

the president remains contagious and would not be fully “out of the woods” for another week but that Trump had met or exceeded standards for discharge from the hospital.

Trump is expected to continue his recovery at the White House, where the reach of the outbreak that has infected the highest levels of the U.S. government is still being uncovered.

Still, just a month before the election and anxious to project strength, Trump tweeted before leaving the hospital, “Will be back on the Campaign Trail soon!!!” And in case anyone missed his don’t-worry message earlier, he rushed out a new video from the White House.

“Don’t be afraid of it,” Trump said of the virus. “You’re going to beat it. We have the best medical equipment, we have the best medicines.” His remarks were strong, but he was taking deeper breaths than usual as he delivered them.

On Tuesday, Trump went a step further, repeating his previous comparisons between COVID-19 and the seasonal flu.

“Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu,” he tweeted.

“Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations far less lethal!!!”

COVID-19 has already proven to be a more potent killer, particularly among older populations, than seasonal flu, and has shown indications of having long-

term impacts on the health of even younger people it infects.

Trump’s nonchalant message about not fearing the virus comes as his own administration has encouraged Americans to be very careful and take precautions to avoid contracting and spreading the disease as cases continue to spike across the country. For more than eight months, Trump’s efforts to play down the threat of the virus in hopes of propping up the economy ahead of the election have drawn bipartisan criticism.

“We have to be realistic in this: COVID is a complete threat to the American population,” Dr. David Nace of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, said of Trump’s comment.

“Most of the people aren’t so lucky as the president,” with an inhouse medical unit and access to experimental treatments, added Nace, an expert on infections in older adults.

“It’s an unconscionable message,” agreed Dr. Sadiya Khan of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. “I would go so far as to say that it may precipitate or worsen spread.”

Likewise, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, who spent more than 90 minutes on the debate stage with Trump last week, said during an NBC town hall Monday night that he was glad Trump seemed to be recovering well, “but there’s a lot to be concerned about -- 210,000 people have died. I hope no one walks away with the message that it’s not a problem.” Biden tested negative for the virus on Sunday.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

President squanders chance for a little grace and humility If the president emerges from COVID-19 unscathed, which we hope he does, that is not a referendum on his leadership.

He did not “conquer” the coronavirus. Instead, he was lucky to have caught a mild version, received drugs not available to most, and had an army of doctors at his disposal.

Those who vow they will “beat” cancer or other serious diseases know they owe much of the credit for their survival to luck, including early detection and new drug therapies. And if they “lose” the battle, it’s not because of some character flaw.

If we’re smart, such experiences teach us humility, reminding us how thin the veil is between life and death; and compassion for those less fortunate.

With the U.S. death toll from the virus now at 210,000 — far beyond initial expectations — we know it can be very, very serious.

Using his own experience as the national standard, the president tweeted on Monday afternoon, “Don’t be afraid of Covid.

Don’t let it dominate your life. … I feel better than I did 20 years ago!”

The takeaway?

We’re a bunch of wussies for wearing face masks and taking other such precautions.

Physicians and mental health experts, meanwhile, are shaking their heads in exasperation.

We must respect the lethality of this virus and

especially those on the front lines dealing with it, and yes, your loss is to be grieved.

THE PRESIDENT is all about winners and losers.

Which is why he maintains his administration has done a fabulous job of handling the pandemic.

And the death toll?

“It could have been much worse,” he said.

Or better.

Of the world’s industrialized nations, the United States far and away has the most deaths per capita from the virus.

After last week’s Rose Garden super-spreader soiree, 18 of Trump’s inner circle have now tested positive for the virus, proof of its easy transmittance.

There was a glimmer of hope that the president’s contracting COVID would give him some insight as to what others have been experiencing. On Friday night he tweeted, “I’ve learned a lot about COVID. I get it. ... It’s a very interesting thing.”

But the empathy never followed.

How comforting it would have been had the president said, “Boy, I was scared there for a minute when the doctors said I needed to be hospitalized.

“Turns out everything is OK, for which I’m thankful.

“You may not be as lucky as I am, so take this virus seriously and stay safe.”

A little grace goes a long ways, — Susan Lynn

Farmers need more than ‘Trump money’

By DANIELLE ENDVICK Tribune News Service

There’s a term swirling around the countryside these days: “Trump money.” It refers to the growing pile of subsidies hitting farm country during this election year.

At a recent campaign rally in Wisconsin, President Donald Trump announced a new $13 billion federal aid package.

It will benefit farmers through another round of payments from the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program, a $16 billion relief package overseen by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Coupled together, we’re entering record-breaking territory on farm subsidies.

Don’t get me wrong, these payments are deeply appreciated. Here in America’s heartland, we’re still reeling from the impacts of a years-long dairy crisis, extreme climate events like the crop-devastating “derecho” storm, the trade wars, and pandemic-related market and supply chain disruptions.

But there is also something that feels just a little bit dirty about 2020 farm subsidies — they’ve nearly tripled since 2017, coinciding with Trump’s efforts to shore up the rural vote in key states like here in Wisconsin.

Although my rural — and red — corner of the Badger State is hurting, what’s needed more than short-term payoffs is long-term sustainability.

Family farmers need fair prices for our goods. We need smart — and more stable — trade policy. We need a fair share of the food dollar, enforcement of antitrust regulations and a strong look at the consolidation in agriculture that is emptying the pockets of the family farmer, even as corporations pull in record profits. And we need leaders on the local, state and national ballot who will stand up on these issues.

In the meantime, farmers are making 4.8% less than they were a year ago, cutting into already razor thin margins.

In my father’s childhood, our country neighborhood was a patchwork of family farms.

My grandfather’s generation was able to make a decent living, raise a large family off their farm income and even invest in the farm operation through the years.

But in the past 20 years, I’ve watched as the dairy crisis hit America’s Dairyland.

When my dad bought our family farm in the early 1990s, there were nearly 30,000 dairy herds in Wisconsin. Now that number hovers just over 7,000.

We’re down to only two operating dairy farms in the neighborhood, and I worry over how long they’ll be able to hang on.

Though the farm subsidies are essential for many, the money has largely been going into the hands of the wealthy.

For instance, 80% of aid from the Coronavirus Farm Assistance Program was allocated to just three commodities: beef, dairy and corn — with some more diversified farm businesses being overlooked entirely.

Worse, the top 1% of recipients got more than 20% of the funds, while the bottom 10% received just 0.26%. In terms of payments, the largest 1% of U.S. farms received an average of $352,432 in coronavirus aid, while the smallest 80% of farms received an average of $4,677.

When election season ends and the subsidies run out, rural America will still be suffering — that is, unless we start pushing for long-term solutions, rather than one-time payments.

About the writer: Danielle Endvick is an ex-dairy farmer’s daughter from Holcombe, Wisconsin. She now raises beef and works as the communications director for the Wisconsin Farmers Union.

Journalists fill an important role in telling America’s story A look at winners of the Pulitzer Prize in the past two years underscores why America needs journalists.

It’s not just nationally recognized media giants pursuing stories around the globe that win journalism’s most prestigious honor. It’s news staffs that are digging out stories about abuses harming people in their local communities.

This year, the Anchorage, Alaska, Daily News, with contributions from ProPublica, won the Pulitzer for public service “for a riveting series that revealed a third of Alaska’s villages had no police protection … and spurred an influx of money and legislative changes.”

Also this year, the Gannett Co.’s Louisville, Kentucky, Courier-Journal won the Pulitzer for breaking news reporting “for its rapid coverage of hundreds of last-minute pardons by Kentucky’s governor, showing how the process was marked by opacity, racial disparities and violations of legal norms.”

And in 2019, the staff of the Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Advocate won the Pulitzer for local reporting “for a damning portrayal of the state’s discriminatory conviction system, including a Jim Crow-era law, that enabled Louisiana courts to send defendants to jail without jury consensus on the accused’s guilt.”

This is National Newspaper Week. Its theme, “America Needs Journalists,” is a fitting focus as the ranks of journalists dwindle.

Digital disruption has collapsed legacy newspapers’ pri-

Carol Hunter The Des Moines Register marily advertising-based business model, and thousands of newspapers and journalism jobs have vanished as a result.

From 2004 to 2019, more than a quarter of the nation’s newspapers folded, leaving behind vast news deserts, according to research by the Hussman School of Journalism and Media at the University of North Carolina. Reporters and editors employed by newspapers dropped by about half.

At the same time, America needs journalists more than ever to fulfill their main mission: to seek and report the truth. Social media delivers Americans some credible, vetted journalism, but it’s mixed in with a bewildering flood of friends’ photos, personal opinion, propaganda disguised as news, and wacky conspiracy theories. At the same time, prominent cable “news” outlets fill prime time with ideology-driven commentary rather than news reporting.

America needs journalists, who are ethically bound to maintain independence and impartiality in their reporting. Journalists’ allegiance is to the truth, regardless of whether the facts they find might be perceived as favoring one cause or hurting another.

Journalists are human and sometimes fall short, but independently seeking the truth is

our north star.

Our readers recognize that America needs journalists to hold government accountable, from the local school board to Congress. As the coronavirus spread this spring, journalists at the Des Moines Register and across the country dug out information about the responses by local hospitals, county boards of health, state government, Congress and the White House. One Register reader wrote, “Thanks for the Register’s reporting on COVID-19 in Iowa. I urge you to have your reporters continue to press on the issue of better transparency from the governor’s office and IDPH (Iowa Department of Public Health). … The public needs better reporting and we rely on the media to press this.”

GOVERNMENT exists to serve the people, but America needs journalists to navigate the bureaucracy and dig out needed information. A reader wrote this to Lee Rood, the Register’s Reader’s Watchdog: “Thank you for your article

regarding stimulus checks mailed to deceased people. My mother died 3/4/2019. I received a $1200 stimulus check made out to her with “DECD” behind her name and mailed to me at my home address. I knew we were not entitled to the money, but was at a loss as to what to do with the check. … Your article provided the information I needed to return the check to the correct department. THANK YOU. I always read your articles and appreciate the help you give to our fellow citizens.”

America needs journalists to unite our communities in sharing the common joys and trials of being human. Iowa columnist Courtney Crowder wrote a moving piece when the state reached the grim milestone of 1,000 deaths from COVID-19. One reader wrote, “That was a beautiful column, raw and real and moving. It was also comforting and for that I thank you. You put into words so many of the things we’re all feeling in this painful time.”

America needs journalists

to tell the stories of ordinary people who do extraordinary things. Another of my recent favorite columns from Courtney was about Joe Barksdale, now in his 90s, who has sold chocolate chip cookies at the Iowa State Fair since 1993. For seven years, he barely broke even, but he believed in his cookies, made from his grandmother’s recipe. With new locations and the twist of piling the cookies high in a pyramid, sales took off. At the 2019 fair, he sold nearly 2 million cookies. That would be impressive enough, but there’s more: The business netted $725,000 in profit last year and could have sold for millions. But Barksdale has donated the business to the fair, and his beloved grandmother’s recipe to the citizens of Iowa.

America needs more inspirational stories like that.

This year, amid a pandemic, newspapers have faced unprecedented challenges.

Register journalists, press operators and our delivery force have risked their own health to ensure our news report reaches readers each day.

One reader wrote this to me, “I want to thank you and everyone else for being there through this crisis. It is so comforting to open the front door each morning and have my paper there as usual. … I worry about all of you being our lifeline. Please know that we appreciate everything you do.”

America needs journalists, and it is an honor to be that lifeline.

Noting National 4-H Day The theme for this year’s National 4-H Week, which runs through Saturday, Opportunity4All, is a campaign that was created

by National 4-H Council to rally support for Cooperative Extension’s 4-H program and identify solutions to eliminate the opportunity gap that affects 55 million youths across America.

With so many children struggling to reach their full potential, 4-H believes that young people, in partnership with adults, can play a key role in creating a more promising and equitable future for youth, families and communities across the country.

In 4-H, we believe every child should have an equal opportunity to succeed. We believe every child should have the skills they need to make a difference in the world.

Southwind District 4-H will observe National 4-H Week this year by highlighting some of the inspirational 4-H youth in our community who are working to support each other and their communities.

“We believe youth perspectives are so important and a solution to eliminating the opportunity gap, because young people come with new ideas and new ways of seeing the world,” explains Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO of National 4-H Council.

By encouraging diverse voices and innovative actions, 4-H believes

Jennifer Terrell Southwind Extension District

that solutions can be found to address the educational, economic and health issues that have created the opportunity gap.

The Southwind District 4-H members, volunteers, and staff will be celebrating this week with radio spots, news columns, National Spirit Day on the 7th, window displays, and social media posts. Check out Southwind District 4-H on Facebook and YouTube to see our 4-H pride this week. Towards the end of the week is the Kansas 484H project where youth will be demonstrating their skills in 48 hours of community service.

Charities promote voting WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Charities are stepping up to help local officials run elections across the nation, including in Kansas, during the coronavirus pandemic.

Sedgwick County, the state’s second most populous county, has received a $816,458 grant from the nonprofit Center for Tech and Civic Life to boost the efforts of the county election office, the Wichita Eagle reported.

“These funds will help the county provide a safe and efficient November election,“ said Sedgwick County Commissioner Lacey Cruse.

Cruse, who alerted county officials about the grant deadline, said the county was awarded the money within four

hours of applying.

The money is part of the $300 million that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have donated to the Center for Tech and Civic Life and Center for Election Innovation and Research “to ensure that everyone can vote and every vote can be counted.”

In past elections, charities have played supportive roles, such as by donating space for polling sites. But their help has increased during the pandemic, with companies such as Microsoft and Target saying they’ll give paid leave to employees who work the polls. The direct payments to public agencies bring it to another level.

Fall landscaping brings spring beauty Fall and spring are my favorite seasons. Finally, some cooler temperatures have arrived.

I encourage you to get outside and enjoy the season. It is the perfect time to do some landscaping tasks that will help next spring.

First, let’s talk lawn weeds. I know, they are probably the last thing on your mind since we are winding down the mowing season.

Believe it or not, it is the ideal time to tackle those weeds, not next spring when you fire the mower up again.

Cool season broadleaf weeds such as henbit, dandelions and chick weed all germinate in the cool moist periods of September and October. They overwinter as small plants, barely visible unless you get down close to the ground to look.

Once warm weather arrives in the spring, the plants grow rapidly and flower.

Fall control is ideal for these cool season broadleaf weeds. The weeds are storing food in their roots and will send a leaf applied herbicide to their roots as well. The herbicides will translocate to the roots and will kill the plants from the roots up. These plants are also small and easily controlled right now.

There are several products on the market that are effective on these fall germinating weeds. Herbicides such as 2,4-D or combination products that contain 2,4-D, MCCP and Dicamba, sold under the trade names of Trimec, Weed-B-Gon, or Weed-Out, can be used. A product called Weed Free Zone is also

Education leader suggests smaller classroom sizes TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas state education commissioner Randy Watson said schools will need to rethink the way they deliver education amid the coronavirus pandemic because what is happening now is “not sustainable.”

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Watson told members of the Kansas Association of School Boards on Friday that one of the best solutions is to return students for five-day-a-week learning, while keeping class sizes to fewer than 15 students while requiring masks and social distancing.

Watson said schools may need to partner with other organizations in the community, like churches or businesses that are closed anyway because of the pandemic to get

enough room to space out students.

Watson also suggested that schools look internally for backup and use non-teaching school staff — like librarians, paraeducators, substitute teachers, central office staff and reading specialists — to fill the ranks.

“Everyone is going to have to be a teacher again,” he said.

“Almost everyone.

We’re going to have to do that in order to have enough people to pull this off.”

He said his staff also plans to ask the Kansas Board of Education to make it easier for people to become substitute teachers.

“I’ve been in about 45 school districts since the start of school, and I will tell you, what we’re doing is not sustainable,” Watson said. “Teachers can’t do it.”

ing bulbs around the edge of a flower bed to add interest. You can add them directly into a perennial bed. The bulbs will bloom in March, April and May before perennials start to grow. Make sure to locate the bulbs so the dying foliage will not be noticed.

Both spring and summer bulbs can be planted in portable containers. The nice thing about container plantings is their versatility.

For spring bulbs, once bloom is past, the container can be moved to a location out of sight while the foliage matures. Summer bulbs will add color all summer long to areas such as a patio or deck.

Keep in mind that planting bulbs of one variety or color in mass will have greater visual impact. This will provide uniform color and texture that is pleasing to the eye. With bulbs such as tulips or daffodils, plant at least twelve bulbs of one variety in a grouping.

Smaller bulbs should be planted in groups of fifty to have visual impact.

Take action now to have a beautiful, weedfree, colorful lawn next spring!

Newly planted lawns should not be treated with any herbicide until the new grass seedlings have been mowed two or three times depending on the product. Read and follow the label directions closely.

Next, let’s talk flower bulbs. Bulbs are a good addition to any landscape or garden because they offer a variety of bloom color, flowering time, plant height, and shape. Now is the time to get those bulbs in the ground.

Bulbs can be planted in a variety of locations including around house foundations, under deciduous shrubs and trees, along borders, in perennial beds, and rock gardens. You can also plant them in containers and even on steep slopes.

When planted along a foundation, bulbs will add color in the early spring if planted in a grouping of twelve or more bulbs. If you have evergreen shrubs planted along a foundation, they will provide a nice background for planting of bulbs.

Bulbs will “pop” with color in contrast to the green of the shrubs.

A border of bulbs planted along the edge of the lawn will add a splash of color to the lawn area. Or consider planting low grow-

Allen Community College’s Theatre Department will perform its fall play, “The Inspector General,” starting Thursday and running until Saturday at the Bowlus.

ACC’s music department also will have its annual Fall Music Concert, featuring its jazz band, concert band and concert choir, at 7 p.m.

Thursday, Oct. 15. The concert will move to the main stage, allowing the audience to social distance.

Iola High School will stage its fall play, two one-acts, in November.

The biggest changes for audience members will be ticket sales, wearing masks and social distancing. Tickets must be sold in advance, with no general admission. Families, or groups who live together, will be allowed to sit together. Otherwise, the venue will separate groups with 6-feet of distance between them.

SCHEDULING a sea-

son’s worth of performances takes time.

In fact, contracts for the 2020-2021 season were signed a year ago.

That means Kays is working to reschedule those acts. He can’t find alternate acts unless the performance is canceled entirely.

So far, the acts keep getting pushed back, from September to November and then to sometimes to after the first of the year. Kays can’t announce the season until dates are finalized, and that’s proved very difficult.

One performance, which would have been a Christmas show in December, can’t be rescheduled but Kays is working with the agent to find an alternative.

“That’s challenging,” he said. “It’s not just replacing a show. You are trying to maintain a relationship.”

The schedule also depends on other venues, and the various coronavirus restrictions in other cities and counties.

The shows that perform at the Bowlus typically are part of a Midwest circuit that performs at venues across Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and other area states. Many

Local arts performances planned ACC Theatre Department ACC students are excited to perform, said Trevor Belt, the new theater instructor.

“Most of the country isn’t doing live theater. We are one of the few places that are,” Belt said. “The students have really buckled down and made wise choices to be safe.

They’re trying to limit their interactions with the outside world until the show.”

Like other performances at the Bowlus, tickets are sold only in advance. Social distancing and masks are required. Anyone who is experiencing symptoms of illness is asked to stay home.

Opening night, Thursday, is reserved for ACC students, staff and faculty. The community can attend performances on Friday and Saturday. Shows start at 7:30 p.m.

The play itself will be socially distanced. Actors will wear masks on stage and do not touch each other.

If an act can’t book enough shows, they’ll cancel the entire tour.

That’s what happened with one of last spring’s shows, Stunt Dogs. Kays thought the show would be rescheduled, but the tour was canceled after a venue in Nebraska bowed out.

“We’re taking precautions. We’re planning shows. But because other venues are cancelling, the tours are falling apart,” Kays said.

To accommodate social distancing, the performance will move to the main stage instead of its usual downstairs location in the Creitz Recital Hall.

The event features performances from the jazz band, the concert band and concert choir.

The Bowlus also is in a better financial situation than other venues, thanks to support from donors, trusts and governmental entities like the city, county and school district. The Bowlus has a healthy financial reserve fund.

Already, one of the shows Kays planned for next season has been pushed back to the year after that.

The Bowlus has an advantage by being in a rural area, Kays said.

The theater can adapt to social distancing measures, and audiences in general may be smaller than urban venues.

Chiefs: Kansas City 26, New England 10

Defense steps up as KC topples New England

By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — It’s hard enough to slow down Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs under the best of circumstances.

Try doing it with your star quarterback shelved by COVID-19, a 40-year-old journeyman taking his place,

your top running back headed to injured reserve and a flight that didn’t land in Kansas City until shortly before kickoff.

Yet the New England Patriots still managed to give the Chiefs fits for most of the way Monday night, hanging within a field goal of the Super Bowl champs until late in the third quarter. It wasn’t

until Tyrann Mathieu took an interception back for a touchdown in the fourth that Kansas City clinched its 26-10 victory at Arrowhead Stadium.

“You’ve seen it this season.

You’ve seen it last season.

Even if you hold us down, we can go out there and make plays when they count,” said Mahomes, who threw for 236 yards and two touchdowns.

“When your number is called you have to make plays, and I thought enough guys made plays that we were able to get out of there with a win.”

Tyreek Hill and Mecole Hardman had the TD grabs for the Chiefs, who have now won 13 straight games.

“We made plays when we had to make plays,” coach Andy Reid said, “and we can

Mustang JV falls in heartbreaker

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

Iola High’s junior varsity football team kept the home crowd on the edge of its seats to the bitter end Monday, but could not pull off a comeback victory for its efforts.

The Mustangs dropped a 22-20 decision to visiting Anderson County after the Bulldogs scored on a 2-yard touchdown with 2:15 left and then completed an unlikely 2-point pass — the ball was deflected by a Mustang defender before Anderson County’s Jorel Nicolas dove and snared it inches from the ground — to take a 22-20 lead.

Iola had two chances to come back, but an interception ended the first attempt, forcing Iola to use all of its timeouts on defense.

The Mustangs got the ball back on its own 25 with 21 seconds left.

Iola immediately picked up 24 yards on its next play, a pass from Mac Leonard to Korbin Cloud, who immediately lateraled the ball to Briggs Michael, who zipped See JV | Page B5

HUMBOLDT — A crisp October Friday night at Humboldt Speedway was the setting for the first-ever appearance of the relatively new Cash Money Super Dirt Late Models Series on The Hummer High Banks.

Designed to be a grassroots, “more affordable” answer to the oft-televised mega expensive Late Models seen on TV, the Cash Money series fielded a group of 24 extremely capable cars and drivers from the Tri-State area that provided an especially enjoyable program for area race fans.

“Diamond” Jim Body traveled from Diamond, Mo., to exchange the lead several times in wheel-to-wheel combat with several other contenders before battling back to capture the feature win.

LA CYGNE — Iola Middle School’s eighth-grade volleyball team capped its unusual 2020 season in style Saturday, placing second at the Pioneer League Tournament.

The Mustangs opened the tournament by thumping host Prairie View in straight sets, 25-11 and 25-15, before falling in the championship match against Burlington, 2517 and 25-21.

“Despite the loss, this was a great match for us,” Iola head coach Terri Carlin said. “We played pretty solid throughout. The girls were disappointed to not get first, but I was proud of their play. We were competitive.”

Reese Curry shined in her final match of the season against Burlington, with three ace serves, seven kills and a block. Kaysin Crusin-

bery stepped into the setting position and had five assists to go along with two kills. Mariah Jelenik had one ace and three kills, Alana Mader had two ace serves and an assist, Elza Clift had one ace and Karingten Hall had one kill.

Chiefs: Sloppy, but still convincing in 26-10 win over NE Continued from B1

England confirmed that a player — later revealed to be Cam Newton — tested positive for COVID-19. Later on Saturday, it came out that Chiefs practice squad QB Jordan Ta’amu also had tested positive, forcing the NFL to postpone the game.

More tests, including one taken at 5 a.m Monday, returned no additional positives from either team.

With their quarterback sidelined, and running back Sony Michel hitting the IR with a quad injury, the Patriots (2-2) were forced to lean on journeyman Brian Hoyer and a cast of running backs that never got into much of a rhythm.

Hoyer, who has now lost 11 straight starts for three different teams, was 15 of 24 for 130 yards and an interception before getting benched in the second half. Jarrett Stidham led the Patriots to a touchdown to close to 13-10, but he also threw two interceptions, including the pick-6 to Mathieu that propelled the Chiefs to their fourth straight 4-0 start.

“We had some opportunities tonight (and) weren’t able to take advantage of them. You can’t give a team like that those kind of opportunities,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. “Turned the ball over four times. Had too many penalties.”

Yet much of the way, Belichick’s run-heavy,

Kansas City Chiefs safety Juan Thornhill celebrates after he intercepted a pass late in the first quarter Monday against the New England Patriots. KANSAS CITY STAR/JILL TOYOSHIBA/TNS drain-the-clock game plan worked.

The Chiefs marched downfield for a field goal on their first drive, added another later in the half, but otherwise had a hard time getting into gear. Sammy Watkins wasted a scoring chance by fumbling in the red zone, Mahomes was under constant duress and the rest of his wide receivers were blanketed by the New England secondary.

In fact, the Patriots could have been leading had Hoyer not made two monumental mistakes.

The first came in the closing seconds of the first half, when the Patriots had used their timeouts to drive into fieldgoal range. Hoyer was sacked by Frank Clark on third down, and the 40-year-old journeyman didn’t realize he couldn’t stop the clock. It hit zero

and the Chiefs took a 6-3 lead into the locker room.

Hoyer’s second mistake came late in the third quarter, when he again felt the pocket collapse on a third-down play. This time, the Chiefs stripped the ball loose and recovered it, keeping New England from another field-goal attempt.

“Two bad decisions in the red area cost us points,” he said.

“Obviously a very unique situation starting from Saturday morning. We kind of had to maneuver some things and figure some things out,” said Stidham, who took over for the ineffective Hoyer in the second half. “We played really hard. Some things we can learn from and get better from and that’s what we’re going to continue to do.”

take it to the house, the Chiefs were headed toward a winning start to a grueling stretch of three games in 11 days that includes a visit to the Buffalo Bills.

“Still feel like we can play so much better and that I think’s the goal,” Mathieu said. “Forget about this game. Our younger guys stepped up, played well, but we’re getting into the thick of it. We have two real tough opponents coming up and we need to find a way to win the next two games.”

WHITE RETURNS

Patriots running back James White was back after missing two games following the death of his father. He carried three times for 21 yards and caught seven passes for 38 yards, then teared up during a postgame news conference.

“He meant everything for me,” White said. “He pushed me.

He wouldn’t always tell me what I wanted to hear. But he always wanted me to do the right thing and pushed me to be the best I could be all the time.”

Give the Chiefs enough chances and they’ll usually close it out.

Finally taking advantage of a swing in momentum, Mahomes hit Hill and Travis Kelce with long passes to move swiftly downfield. And when Hill took a jet sweep to the pylon for a touchdown, the Chiefs had some breathing room.

The Patriots answered behind a long run from Damien Harris, who had just been activated off IR, and a nifty catch by N’Keal Harry in the end zone. But the Chiefs kept moving on offense, taking advantage of pass interference and personal foul penalties by the least-flagged team in the league to set up Hardman’s touchdown.

When Mathieu was perfectly positioned to catch a tipped pass and

Patriots: Right guard Shaq Mason missed the game after a calf injury popped up late last week. The Patriots offensive line was further depleted later in the first quarter, when right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor left with migraines.

Chiefs: Defensive tackle Chris Jones was out with a groin injury that sidelined him in practice last week. Defensive end Mike Danna joined him on the bench with a hamstring injury in the second quarter.

The Patriots continue their tour of the AFC West when the Broncos visit New England on Sunday. The Chiefs face the Raiders the same afternoon at Arrowhead Stadium.

Stanton blast propels Yankees in opener over Rays SAN DIEGO (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton and the Bronx Bombers made themselves right at home in Petco Park on a warm October evening in Southern California.

Stanton hit a grand slam in the ninth inning for New York’s fourth home run of the game, and the Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 9-3 on Monday in the opener of their AL Division Series at Petco Park.

Stanton homered to straightaway center field on a 2-2 pitch from John Curtiss. The slugger took several steps with his bat still in his hands as he watched the ball sail through the pleasant San Diego evening air before beginning his trot.

A few fans chanted “Let’s Go Yankees!” from a balcony on an office building just beyond right field of the mostly empty ballpark.

“That SoCal air, man.

That SoCal weather.

That’s what it is,” said Stanton, who is from Los Angeles and won the Home Run Derby at Petco Park in 2016. He spent his first eight seasons with the Marlins and has nine homers in 20 games at Petco Park.

Kyle Higashioka, another SoCal native, and Aaron Judge hit the tying and go-ahead home runs off Blake Snell in the fifth to back winner Gerrit Cole. Clint Frazier hit an impressive shot into the second deck in left in the third.

The Bronx Bombers became the first team in American League history to hit a grand slam in back-to-back playoff games. Gio Urshela connected in Game 2 of the first-round sweep against Cleveland. Two NL teams have done it, the 1977 Dodgers and 2011 Diamondbacks.

Judge said he’s comfortable in San Diego, and his parents were at the game.

“This is the first game

my parents were able to come to as well. That’s huge. My dad for sure doesn’t miss more than a month at a time, and we’re in October now,” he said.

Game 2 in the best-offive series is Tuesday night, with 21-year-old rookie Deivi García set to become the youngest Yankees pitcher to make a postseason start. Tyler Glasnow goes for the Rays.

Beginning with this round, all postseason series were moved to neutral sites because of the coronavirus.

The Yankees set a franchise record by hitting at least three home runs in three consecutive postseason games.

They are the second team to do it in baseball history after the Rays did it in four straight in 2008.

Stanton has played in only 41 games over the past two seasons because of injuries.

“I feel great for him

because I know this is what I envisioned for him last year,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “He’s such a dangerous hitter in the middle of our lineup.

When he’s controlling the strike zone, he’s as deadly as anyone.”

New York has 11 homers in three playoff games this year. They are the most for any team in the first three games of a postseason.

Teams that have outhomered the opposition are 13-0 in these playoffs.

Tampa Bay dominated the contentious regular-season series, going 8-2 against the rival Yankees and winning the AL East by seven games over second-place New York.

With the calendar flipped to October, it was a different story in their first postseason meeting.

“They can hit, there’s no secret in that,” Rays manager Kevin Cash

said. “There’s nothing that was unexpected with them. They’ve just got some guys back that are healthier. There were a handful of players who didn’t have consistent reps against us or throughout the 60-game season due to injuries. They looked healthy tonight.”

The ball was flying for the Rays as well against Cole in downtown San Diego. Randy Arozarena homered in the first and Ji-Man Choi muscled an opposite-field, two-run shot in the fourth into the Rays bullpen in left-center to give Tampa Bay a 3-2 lead.

Cole went six innings, allowing three runs and six hits while striking out eight and walking two. The Yankees’ ace was pitching about 100 miles south of where he grew up in Newport Beach before playing at

down the sideline to midfield.

Leonard then keenly avoided having the clock run out as he was being sacked by lobbing the ball out of bounds as a fumble.

Iola gained another reprieve on its next play when Leonard’s Hail Mary pass down the sideline fell incomplete as time ran out because Anderson County was flagged for roughing the passer.

That gave the Mustangs one final shot from the 35, but Leonard’s pass down the right sideline fell incomplete.

It was a fitting conclusion to a back-andforth affair.

Landon Weide connected with Kyler Mittlemeier on a 65-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter for Iola, before Leonard found Cloud on a 27-yard touchdown pass midway through the second period to give the Mustangs a 14-8 lead.

The Bulldogs knotted the score at 14-14 before Leonard found Mittlemeier on a 12yard touchdown pass with 8:52 left in the game to push Iola back on top, 20-14.

Iola’s varsity will get back into action next Monday after its game at Prairie View was pushed back because the Buffalos players will still be under quarantine orders on Friday.

UCLA. Cole beat Tampa Bay twice in last year’s ALDS with Houston.

Snell, the 2018 AL Cy Young Award winner, was the loser. He pitched five innings and allowed four runs on six hits while striking out four and walking two.

New York’s Aaron Hicks, who’s from San Pedro in the Los Angeles area, hit a sacrifice fly in the first and an RBI single in the ninth.

Arozarena tied it in the bottom of the first before Frazier gave the Yankees the lead in the second. Choi’s shot in the fourth put Tampa Bay ahead 3-2.

Higashioka, who’s from Huntington Beach in Orange County, hit a line shot into the seats in left leading off the fifth. Judge, who’s from Northern California, lined his shot into the left-field seats as well.

while Isabelle Berntsen had a point.

Southeast prevailed in the A team affair, 25-18 and 25-12.

Sprague scored four points and two aces for the Wildcats, followed by Lexi Lowder with three points, Braelyn Sutton had two points and two kills and Khiana Haynes a point and three spikes. Kilpatrick added a point.

Green Bay improves to 4-0 after thumping Atlanta GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers needed someone to step forward when injuries left their top two wide receivers unavailable.

That made it the perfect showcase for tight end Robert Tonyan to continue his breakthrough season.

Tonyan caught three of Aaron Rodgers’ four touchdown passes, Za’Darius Smith recorded three sacks and the Packers remained unbeaten with a 30-16 victory over the winless Atlanta Falcons on Monday night.

“I just had to continue to do what I’ve been doing, just keep playing well and stick to the game plan,” Tonyan said. “Like I’ve said before, when plays come to me, I’ve got to make them. Aaron had a nice

little look in his eye tonight, so I just was trying to roll with that.”

The Packers (4-0) have opened a season by scoring at least 30 points in four straight games for the first time in franchise history.

Green Bay star receiver Davante Adams sat out a second straight game with a hamstring injury and Allen Lazard is on injured reserve with a core problem.

A knee injury sidelined veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis.

Yet that didn’t slow down Rodgers, who capitalized on Atlanta’s depleted secondary.

“I like where we’re at,” Rodgers said. “I really do. I like the diversity in our approach. Again (coach) Matt (LaFleur) was really good kind of mixing it up with the calls. Obviously we

had to do some different things without Davante, without Allen and without Marcedes, but I thought we had a nice plan and we executed really well.”

Tonyan had touchdown receptions of 19 and 8 yards to cap the Packers’ final two firsthalf possessions. He added a 21-yard touchdown reception midway through the third quarter.

The 2017 undrafted free agent from Indiana State finished the night with six catches for 98 yards along with his three touchdowns to set career highs in all three categories. Tonyan has scored in three straight games and now has five touchdown catches to match Tampa Bay’s Mike Evans for the NFL lead.

Rodgers went 27 of

“The girls came out strong and were working together,” Carlin said. “Our serving in this match was excellent. We really had them frustrated. Kaysin Crusinbery had an excellent match. Kaysin is a very smart player, and did a super job of finding the open spots and just placing it right there.”

Crusinbery had five ace serves, three assists and five kills, including tips, Carlin said.

33 for 327 yards. He has thrown 13 touchdown passes without an interception this season.

“He’s one of those guys who’s self-motivated,” LaFleur said. “It doesn’t take anything other than he wants to be the best. He usually is the best every Sunday when we’re out there.

We’re fortunate to have him as our leader. He’s the one driving the ship out there.”

Todd Gurley’s two

touchdown runs couldn’t stop the Falcons from their first 0-4 start since 1999, when they followed a Super Bowl season by going 5-11. Atlanta coach Dan Quinn remains confident the Falcons can turn around this season.

“In my heart, in my head and everything I believe in, I know that we can,” Quinn said. ”I know that the second quarter of our season

will look a hell of a lot different from our first.

That’s in fact what I told the team. Nothing’s been decided yet.”

After blowing two-touchdown leads in the fourth quarter each of the last two weeks, the Falcons never were ahead in this one. Green Bay took the lead for good when Rodgers threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to a wideopen Aaron Jones on the game’s opening series.

second, with Chuck Comer of Springfield, Mo., third. Fourth went to another Diamond pilot, Jim Body III, with Eddie Schwope, Jr., out of St. Joseph, Mo., rounding out the top five finishers of the 30lap event.

Late Models were the icing on the cake, with a full slate of local action on the Humboldt clay as well.

Ryan Smith of Moran captured his second Hummer feature win of the season in the highly competitive Love’s Travel Stops Midwest Modified division feature. Smith led early, yielded to eventual runner-up Riley Duncan of Lockwood, Mo., then came storming back to claim a thrilling win. Nevada driver Carter Brownsberger started dead last in the 20-car field and blitzed his way to third. Fourth spot

went to Jon Westhoff of Chanute, with Humboldt’s Jackson McGowen fifth.

The Home Savings Bank Factory Stock feature prize was claimed by up and coming Brian Knisley of Coffeyville. Scott Collins of Humboldt finished second, with Scott Lucke of Humboldt third, Matt Powell of Independence fourth, and Trey Stipp of Humboldt fifth.

Kenton Allen mounted a late race challenge that netted the third place slot, with Ethan Issacs of Bonner Springs fourth and Brian McGowen of Pittsburg fifth.

Clint Haigler of Humboldt finished second, Earlton driver Allen Jesseph was third, while Maddyson Tyler of Parsons claimed fourth, with Johnathan Culler of Colony in fifth.

Veteran Humboldt racer Dan Daniels captured his first Whitworth Construction Street Stock feature of the year in commanding fashion, while Chanute’s Dennis Bishop was second, and Joe Abrams of Topeka took third.

Iola’s 25-14 and 25-20 loss to Wellsville had plenty of standout performers.

Raven Tomlinson and India Barney both had three aces. “They did

a great job of serving some hard balls to the Eagles,” Westhoff said.

Faith Warden added two aces, while Kandrella McCullough and Avery Martin each had an ace. Martin and Warden both had one attack at the net.

“Kandrella and Izzy Tyson did an amazing

job playing the net and not letting anything go by them,” Westhoff said. “Faith also did a great job of making sure those third hits went over the net when it didn’t look like they would. As a whole they talked and moved the best they have all season.”
