Iola man dies in altercation

By The Register Staff

Local law enforcement agencies are investigating the death of an Iola man following the report of a fight Monday afternoon.

Jaime Martin, age 34, died Monday afternoon, less than an hour after Iola Police officers responded to a report of a fight and found him lying unresponsive in the driveway of a home at 621 S. Washington, according to a press release from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.

The incident was reported at about 2 p.m.

Officers began life-saving measures until EMS arrived and transported him to the hospital, where he later died.

The public is not at risk, Iola Police said. The incident remains under investigation.

Parsons athletes call out racist slurs

By SEAN FRYE The Parsons Sun

Players from the Parsons Vikings football program are making their voices heard after facing an adversity felt too often.

During halftime of a game between Parsons and Iola at Iola High School Sept. 11, at least three players from the Vikings heard racist taunts from the crowd.

“It’s halftime and we’re

heading into the locker room.

They said it one time but we just blew it off,” said Ja’Vyn Brown, a junior wide receiver and defensive back for the Vikings. “They said ‘y’all can’t breathe.’ We came out and they said it again. We came together as a team and talked about it and just responded on the scoreboard.”

When it happened, senior running back and linebacker Yusef Kindrick admitted that he wanted to react with the

same anger he felt the crowd expressed to him for being Black.

“I was angry,” Kindrick said. “I wanted to snap on them. But I changed my mood.

I know not to say anything because that’s just how it is. I wanted to speak my mind, but for me and my team, I didn’t want to get in trouble.”

Parsons posted a second half shutout and beat Iola 25-20. But the sting of the remarks left Vikings players

aching for change.

“When I heard it first, I was like ‘wow,’” said junior lineman Tre Russ. “This isn’t a one-time thing. We hear it almost every week on the field and off the field. It happens a lot.”

Over the next few days, the Parsons coaching staff came up with an idea for the two teams to hold a Zoom conference. The Parsons players wanted to advocate for proac-

lican in the Judiciary Committee,” Chairman Lindsey Graham told Fox News late Monday. “We’ve got the votes to confirm the justice on the floor of the Senate before the election and that’s what’s coming.”

Tropical Storm Beta stalls along Texas coast HOUSTON (AP) — Tropical Storm Beta stalled out today along the Texas coast, flooding streets in Houston and Galveston hours after making landfall amid an unusually busy hurricane season.

The storm made landfall late Monday just north of Port O’Connor, Texas, and has the distinction of being the first time a storm named for a Greek letter made landfall in the continental United States. Forecasters ran out of traditional storm names last week, forcing the use of the Greek alphabet for only the second time since the 1950s.

Early today, Beta was 10 miles east-southeast of VicVol. 122, No. 229 Iola, KS 75 Cents

toria, Texas, with maximum winds of 40 mph, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. The storm was moving toward the northwest near 3 mph and is expected to stall inland over Texas through Wednesday.

“We currently have both storm surge and rainfall going on right now,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Amaryllis Cotto in Galveston.

Cotto said 6-12 inches of rain has fallen in the area, with isolated amounts of up to 18 inches. Dangerous flash flooding is expected through Wednesday, Cotto said.

Governor: Kansas has failed to slow virus

By SHERMAN SMITH Kansas Reflector

TOPEKA — Gov. Laura Kelly on Monday expressed alarm at rapidly worsening COVID-19 numbers in Kansas and blamed Republican legislative leaders for standing in the way of a statewide mask mandate.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has confirmed 66 deaths related to COVID-19 in the past week, bringing the pandemic’s statewide total to 600. At least 53,959 Kansans have been infected with the disease, which can cause long-term damage in hearts, lungs and brains.

Bobcat fire again threatening California observatory

By HAYLEY SMITH and LOUIS SAHAGUN Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Fire crews remain in battle mode as efforts to save the 116-year-old Mount Wilson Observatory from the raging Bobcat fire continue.

Days after officials announced that firefighters had beaten back advancing flames and the observatory was safe, firefighters are battling flare-ups at the top of the mountain.

“Just when I thought the danger was over — it wasn’t,” Thomas Meneghi, the observatory’s executive director, said Monday. “As I was leaving (Sunday), eight more

The Bobcat fire, which ignited Sept. 6, has grown to more than 105,000 acres — one of Los Angeles County’s largest blazes ever — and remains at 15% containment, the U.S. Forest Service said.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Department on Monday afternoon ordered the evacuations of people who live south and west of Upper Big Tujunga Canyon, east of Angeles Forest Highway and north of Angeles Crest Highway.

Firefighters have already used half of a 530,000-gallon water tank on the observatory grounds in their nearly weeklong battle against the blaze, Meneghi said.

Crews are working to refill the tank and keep water pressure strong.

Officials from the U.S. Forest Service said Mount Wilson remains a top priority, noting that “multiple, multiple resources” have been dedicated to keeping the flames at bay.

“We are getting winds out of the east, so people are seeing flare-ups there,” Forest Service spokesman Larry Smith said Monday. “But there are no new evacuations (around Mount Wilson).

There’s nothing to be concerned about.”

Fire crews were also focusing Monday on the Antelope Valley, where the massive blaze continues to loom large after forcing evacuations

and charring multiple homes. The National Weather Service said fire weather conditions, including heat, dryness and gusty winds, could feed the flames and create the “potential for rapid growth and extreme fire behavior.”

“Out by the Bobcat fire, it’s still fairly warm and dry, and there will be afternoon and evening gusts of winds,” meteorologist David Sweet said from the weather service’s station in Oxnard. “And that’s the concern right there: dryness and gusty winds.”

Isolated wind gusts could reach as high as 40 mph, Sweet said. The winds will probably continue for the rest of the week.

expected to be another Hurricane Harvey or Tropical Storm Imelda.

Harvey in 2017 dumped more than 50 inches of rain on Houston, causing $125 billion in damage in Texas. Imelda, which hit Southeast Texas last year, was one of the wettest cyclones on record.

Storm surge up to 4 feet was possible in the Galveston and Beaumont areas through Wednesday morning, forecasters said. In Galveston, an island city southeast of Houston, there was already some street flooding Monday from rising tides and part of a popular fishing pier collapsed due to strong waves.

Farther south on the Texas coast, Maria Serrano Culpepper along with her two daughters and dogs left their home in Magnolia Beach near Matagorda Bay on Sunday night.

Culpepper said she didn’t want to be trapped in her home, three blocks from the beach, with wind, rain and possibly no electricity. She and her family evacuated to a friend’s home in nearby Victoria.

Culpepper said her home should be fine as it’s on stilts 13 feet off the ground and was built to withstand strong storms.

“I’m feeling OK now. I had two nights without sleeping because I was worried about (Beta) being a Category 1 hurricane. I calmed down when the storm lost power,” said Culpepper, who works as an engineer at a nearby chemical plant.

On Monday, Gov. Greg Abbott issued a disaster declaration for 29 Texas counties ahead of Beta’s arrival.

Beta is forecast to dump heavy rain on the southwestern corner of Louisiana three weeks after the same area got pounded by Hurricane Laura. The rainfall and storm surge prompted Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards to declare a state of emergency.

tive change to the Iola players.

“If we continue to let it happen, we felt like in a way we’re not sticking up for our kids,” Parsons head coach Jeff Schibi said. “Coach (Anthony) Houk called me and had this brilliant idea.

There’s a lot of hate going on in the world, so why not spin this and make it about love? Let’s challenge (Iola players) to help the issue within their school. Our kids will hold them accountable to have an action taken.”

That meeting was facilitated by both school administrations.

“It was reported to me that there’d been an incident at the ballgame in Iola on Friday,” Parsons Superintendent Lori Ray said. “I visited with high school administration as well as (Iola Superintendent Stacey) Fager. We set up a time to visit with students.”

On Wednesday morning, that Zoom meeting was held with members from both teams taking part.

“We challenged them to be leaders in the hallway,” Russ said. “They need to step up and tell

them what’s right and what’s wrong.”

Julius Smith-Reece, a senior receiver for the Vikings, thought the Zoom meeting was the first step in addressing the situation collaboratively.

“The world is crazy right now with the pandemic and all the things going on,” Smith-Reece said. “The Zoom meeting was a great idea. We came together to sort out the problem. It’s part of a good rivalry with Iola.

We want to keep that fun rivalry going.”

Kindrick praised the Iola program for taking Parsons up on the opportunity to listen.

“They listened to us,” Kindrick said. “They could’ve ignored us, but they didn’t. I have to respect them for that. Now we all have to move on.”

“There were things said that our students needed to talk about and address,” Ray said.

“I think they did that.

Our job as schools is to provide a safe, responsive and safe learning environment for our students.”

For Iola, this is the second incident involving race in a month. In

mid-August, according to The Iola Register, students at the school painted a parking spot in support of President Donald Trump. That painting included white supremacist symbols and was eventually painted over because it violated a city ordinance on political signs.

“When you have student matters, the number of times that it can happen can be all over the place. Is it concerning that a matter has happened here that involves race? Yes,” Fager said. “We’ll address that just like any other student matter. It’s inappropriate in a school setting.”

In response to Sept.

11’s incident during the Parsons-Iola game, as well as the Zoom meetings, the Iola administration is looking into moving the student section. The student section was behind the end zone where the visiting team warms up as part of social distancing measures because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

It may be moved to the opposite end zone.

“We’ll look into that for future contests,” Fager said. “It was the

first time we moved our student section. We wanted to give more spacing for our patrons in the regular part of the stadium.”

Brown wants Iola’s football players to continue pushing for change.

“We want them to be leaders and keep them from saying certain things,” Brown said, “and to prevent situations like that.”

Schibi thinks the meeting has already sparked a positive trend.

“I am satisfied with the path forward,” Schibi said. “I love the approach of attacking it in a positive manner instead of bashing them on Twitter. That could’ve been the route we took and nothing would’ve been fixed. But we respect Iola and their program. So we all handled it the best possible way.”

As for the Parsons players, they want the action they took in response to racism to be a lasting legacy.

“It’s good to see things like this happen,” Kindrick said. “With what we go through every day, it’s good to know that we can make a change.”

sans need in a leader.”

The virus has been detected in every county in Kansas, but seven of the sparsely populated counties count the numbers in single digits.

At the other extreme, Johnson County has recorded more than 10,400 cases, Wyandotte County more than 6,800, and Sedgwick County more than 8,400.

As the end of summer approaches and gives way to flu season, the virus already has intensified in Kansas to inflict greater suffering than ever before.

KDHE reviews death certificates before affirming COVID-19 as the cause of death. The numbers added to the statewide total, which is updated three times per week, include virus victims who died weeks ago. Nearly 200 deaths have been added to the total in the past month.

“Remember that it is only Kansas physicians who certify death and cause of death,” said KDHE secretary Lee Norman, responding to skepticism of the death total on Twitter. “KDHE does none of that. I trustx 5-BW our(20Fa-Early) Kansas physiKansas City;bkienast;Dale’s Sheet Metal;E41870-493592;3.31 concerned that because of certain legislative leaders, Kansas has been left with a patchwork of local mask mandates, instead of a statewide policy, like 34 other states.”

The Legislature blunted the governor’s ability to impose statewide restrictions before adjourning in May. The governor vetoed their action and called lawmakers back for a special session, where she negotiated a compromise with Republican leadership. The resulting bill gives counties the authority to develop their own guidelines independent of the governor, and they have imposed varying restrictions across the state.

“Kansas is a diverse state,” said Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, “and the elected officials closest to the people should manage the response to the COVID crisis in accordance to their outbreak and their community needs. Her continuing efforts to blame the Legislature and spread fear throughout the state is not what Kan-

week for a total of 57.

One person remains hospitalized.

Cases have increased in recent weeks in all area counties. Rebecca Johnson, director of SEKMHD, attributes the increase to the reopening of schools and businesses, as well as more social activities taking place.

Johnson also said she continues to recommend counties ask residents to wear masks when in public.

Allen County is one of the few counties in the state with a mask mandate.

“The rates in our counties are somewhat mixed, but I have personally seen many people not wearing masks as much in public,” she said. “Bourbon County’s case rate has had

a large uptick in cases lately and had 14 new cases over the weekend. I would attribute a majority of cases to lack of social distancing and lack of wearing masks.”

In other area counties: Anderson reported four new cases, bringing the total to 62.

Bourbon reported 28 new cases for a total of 175, with three deaths.

Woodson reported four new cases for a total of 17.

Elsewhere in southeast Kansas, Neosho County has reported 135 cases and Crawford County has 975 cases.

Statewide, Kansas saw an increase of 1,674 new cases over the weekend and four new deaths for a total of 53,959 cases and 600 deaths.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Republicans’ rush to fill Supreme Court seat is to overturn the ACA Just one week after the general election, the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a case on whether the Affordable Care Act will remain law.

The administration of President Donald Trump has lined up with a dozen Republican state attorneys general to dismantle the country’s healthcare policy. Those arguing in favor of the healthcare act are attorneys general from Democratic-leaning states.

This is one reason Republicans are champing at the bit to fill the seat on the high court created by the recent passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

If the president’s nominee — whom he has assured his base will be an ultra-conservative — were appointed to the bench posthaste, the ACA stands a better chance of being invalidated, robbing tens of millions of Americans of their health insurance.

It couldn’t come at a worse time.

The country is facing its gravest health crisis in modern memory with the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 200,000 American citizens have died from the virus with millions more suffering from its effects.

Of special concern is the long-term damage to the brain, heart and lungs that some have experienced.

Not too much longer, and those compromised functions will be classified as “pre-existing conditions.”

Before the ACA was passed in 2010, most insurance companies refused to cover pre-existing conditions. Today, it’s the law.

To strip away that coverage now is unconscionable.

And after 10 years of “repeal and replace” promises, Republicans are no closer to putting forward a viable healthcare policy.

ON SUNDAY, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden appealed to Republican Senators to not rush the nomination process if only to preserve the protections made possible by the Affordable Care Act. Until we get it right, healthcare will continue to be a campaign issue. The 2020 election is no exception.

Biden and Trump are night and day in their perceptions of what healthcare in the U.S.A. should

look like.

Trump’s proposal to dismantle the ACA would take with it the ACA-based Medicaid enrollment program in which 73.8 million Americans rely on.

Today, 91.5% of Americans have health insurance. Before the ACA, that number was 83%.

Is it perfect? By no means.

Even with today’s advantages, insurance remains too expensive for many Americans, and in some cases unavailable, because their states, count Kansas, have not expanded Medicaid.

Biden’s plan would negate state legislatures’ ability to deny Medicaid expansion to their poor and elderly, affecting an estimated 4.9 million adults.

He also plans to make the current program more inclusive by providing an option akin to Medicare and make it more affordable by lowering the income cap for financial assistance. For the middle class, Biden’s plan is to offer greater tax credits to apply toward health insurance premiums.

As for the president, five times this year he has promised to unveil his “Trump Healthcare Plan,” but to date it’s little more than platitudes.

He repeatedly assures voters it will cover pre-existing conditions but is decidedly vague as to whether that will allow insurers to charge extra or limit coverage to some dollar amount.

As for Medicaid, he favors a block grant system which allots certain amounts to individual states to manage, posing a huge hurdle for times like now when millions have lost their jobs and with it their health insurance.

And though in 2016 he campaigned on lowering prescription drug prices, the president has never followed through. His most recent “threat” to Big Pharma was an Aug. 25 deadline to come to the table to negotiate drug prices. Guess we’re seeing the “or else.”

WE’RE NOT saying this is easy. But it’s very important. And should be foremost on voters’ minds when they cast their ballots come Nov. 3.

Moran, Roberts owe Kansas voters consistency on high court stance When it comes to selecting a new U.S. Supreme Court justice in an election year, we agree with Kansas Sens. Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran.

Everyone should wait until after the election.

That is, we agree with the statements that Republicans Roberts and Moran made in 2016.

“By nominating a replacement for Justice Scalia, President Obama is attempting to deny the American people a voice on the next Supreme Court justice,” Roberts was quoted as saying in a Topeka Capital-Journal story from March 16. “The next justice will have an effect on the courts for decades to come and should not be rushed through by a lame-duck president during an election year.”

That makes sense, we suppose. And if that was true in March of 2016 with the nominee being the widely praised centrist jurist Merrick Garland, we can only imagine how true it is in September of 2020. With the presidential election in full force and President Trump trailing badly in the polls, how could any of his nominees hope to represent the will of the American

people?

Roberts said it wasn’t even a partisan matter: “This is not about the nominee, it is about giving the American people and the next president a role in selecting the next Supreme Court justice,” he said. Again, we would note, in March of 2016.

Moran ended up taking a principled stand, too. Although he had earlier entertained the possibility of holding hearings on Garland’s nomination, he ended up saying they weren’t necessary based on a study of the nominee’s record.

“Senator Moran remains committed to preventing this president from putting another justice on the highest court in the land,” an aide to the Senator told news outlets in early April.

We know that both of the senators from Kansas are honorable men.

Both put the people of Kansas ahead of party or partisan politics. Both understand how important it is that the judiciary remain free of political wrangling or interference. Both understand the importance of retaining the confidence of the people they

represent.

So we are sure that now, with an opening coming on the court with less than two months to the presidential election, they will oppose as a matter of principle any nominee coming from President Trump. After all, as Roberts notes, the American people need to have a role. And Moran doesn’t even have a nominee to study yet. How could he even take a stand?

If the senators end up acting differently this time around, it’s worth asking why.

Could it be that principle was never the point? Could it be that rank partisan politics was always the endgame?

We hope that’s not the case.

We hope that Roberts and Moran continue taking their principled stances from four years ago.

— Topeka Capital-Journal (Editor’s note: In the two days since this editorial appeared, Sens. Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran have said they support President Trump’s directive to fill Justice Ginsburg’s seat “without delay.”

Letter to the editor Dear reader,

Recent articles in The Iola Register and Osage County Herald have given the impression that enrollment declines have put the Allen Community College Campus in Burlingame in danger of immediate closure.

I wanted to assure those we serve at that campus that, while we are concerned with the declining enrollment, we have not made any decisions regarding closure and would not do so without the same amount of research and thought that went into its opening. In a conversation with other community college presidents in a recent Zoom meeting, I learned that most colleges with outreach sites, Neosho at Ottawa, Cloud at Junction City, and several others, had experienced significant enrollment declines at those sites. The COVID-19 effect on enrollment overall has been quite negative and must be taken into account.

No critical decision could be made in this environment.

Hopefully, next year will begin to give us an opportunity

John Masterson Allen Community College to see what the “new normal” will be like. Burlingame will certainly be a part of that picture.

Our lease agreement with USD 454 in Burlingame, which expires Dec. 31 of this year, has been in place since the early 1990s. I can see no reason why it would not be renewed.

It began as a 10-year lease because the USD had to put significant dollars into its construction and then into a substantial addition to the original building to accommodate our growing enrollment there during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Those costs have been recovered and the building and additions paid off.

I have no doubt regarding the USD’s willingness to renegotiate a shorter lease

agreement that is more realistic and flexible in terms of length. The USD has been a great partner over the years and I look forward to working with them in the future.

The development of a strong online program at Allen has provided significant competition for our outreach sites. This is certainly true at Burlingame.

However, there are still students who prefer the opportunities for interaction in a face-to-face classroom.

The excellent faculty and staff that we have assembled at Burlingame strive to meet our mission of providing “quality education in a caring atmosphere.” Students have indicated to me that their interaction with that staff has enhanced their academic and personal success. We sincerely hope that as we recover from the effects of the pandemic, the Burlingame Campus will grow and thrive. We will do our best to make that happen.

Best wishes, John Masterson, president, Allen Community College

Reset your mind with a brain break Do you have a hard time staying focused while working on the computer or studying?

Do you ever feel like your brain is on idle or taking a nap? If you have ever felt like this, then you should try taking a brain break. A brain break is an exercise that gets you out of your chair while using different parts of your brain. These challenges can be altered for all ages, abilities and working environments.

Brain breaks help one to refocus, increase energy and helps you have fun.

Brain breaks can be used within a classroom setting, office environment or any place that includes long periods of stationary work. These exercise bursts should last between one to four minutes in length. It is recommended that for elementary students to

MaKayla Stroud Southwind District 4-H Program Assistant

have a brain break after 20-30 minutes of sedentary work.

A quick brain break allows physical energy to be burned allowing the brain to reawake while also utilizing regions that aren’t used when students are sitting down.

For adults, a brain break can allow for a quick session of stretching to make sitting at a desk more comfortable.

Since brain breaks require you to stand or participate in light exercise, this benefits the participant by improving cognitive skills while encourag-

ing muscle growth, increasing motor skills and strengthening cardio-vascular systems.

By using both the brain

and body simultaneously this allows for the brain to be reset while increasing the flow of blood & oxygen that in

A season of change at Southwind No doubt we are living in a season of change, and the fresh autumn weather is likely the very best of times for many. The virus that has taken over our world and everyday lifestyles is hard enough to cope with, but add heated local and national political battles, school safety and mask debates to the dynamics and the chaos can be overwhelming.

The Southwind Extension District also is going through a season of reorganization, but I am optimistic for a bright future because of these changes. Christopher Petty, Livestock Production & Forage Management Agent for the Southwind District resigned in May. Then in September, Kathy McEwan, Foods & Nutrition Agent and who was also the SNAP Education Coordinator for the Southwind District retired.

Without a full-time agent to manage the SNAP program, the federal SNAP grant was regretfully ceased for FY21. The bad news is that K-State Research & Extension is in a hiring freeze for an indefinite time, and although replacing our agents will certainly happen, it won’t be soon.

Let’s choose to focus on the good news because the Southwind Extension District has a diverse and talented pool of staff who will see to it that all of your questions are answered.

Southwind Agents Barbara Stockebrand and Joy Miller continue to provide a broad base of expertise to help solve complicated problems by teaching essential living skills including finances, aging well, caring for your home, food preparation skills, strengthening family relationships and raising your children. We are coming into the open enrollment season for Medicare, and Joy can help you navigate Medicare and Market Place Insurance, too.

etables, flowers, ornamental plants, and trees through her Horticulture role in the Southwind District. Whether you have a question about lawns, vegetables, flowers, or landscape maintenance, Extension information is created for use by everyone, including homeowners, lawn services and nurseries.

Our 4-H program is going strong with Jennifer Terrell, 4-H/Youth Agent leading our team of professional 4-H staff as we transition into the new 4-H year. MaKayla Stroud and Cassidy Lutz serve as our 4-H program assistants and their activity on the Southwind District 4-H Facebook page is energizing and a fun way to engage youth and families in 4-H project learning. If you want your kids to be involved in something that will teach them skills for a lifetime, then you should considering joining 4-H. Dale Lanham and James Coover are actively managing our Extension Agriculture programming and answering questions about pastures, weed control, pesticide management, cropping systems and livestock production.

Dale is our resource for livestock related concerns and James is knowledgeable in issues related to agronomy.

Farm management is vital to the success of our rural communities, so don’t overlook their availability for your ag-related questions.

In addition to my role as the Southwind District Director, I have educational programming responsibilities related to Community Vitality. I am available to facilitate strategic planning for community groups or businesses, foster skills in board leadership for all organizations, as-

sist with community needs assessments through First Impressions, and I will be offering a Grant Writing Workshop in Yates Center Nov. 5.

Even though we are down a couple of agents, it is my opinion there is new level of energy and excitement across our staff and offices. We have high expectations for the future by expanding opportunities for all our programs, and look forward to providing trusted, research-based information in Allen, Bourbon, Neosho and Woodson Counties for years to come.

return boosts energy.

Having fun is another reason to break up your workday with a short brain break.

These activities allow you to take a breather from work while being silly and testing your personal best.

Some brain break activities can be completed as a group to have fun with colleagues or classmates. When participating in a fun activity it boosts your mood, encourages smiling, causes laughing while helping to decrease stress.

If you’re interested in more information, go to our Facebook page or YouTube channel named Southwind District 4-H and watch various brain break activities.

US cruises vow to implement 100% testing

By DEE-ANN DURBIN The Associated Press

Major cruise lines say they will test all passengers and crew for COVID-19 prior to boarding as part of their plan for resuming sailing in the Americas.

The Cruise Lines International Association, a trade group that represents 95% of global ocean-going cruise capacity, said Monday that its members will also require passengers and crew to wear masks while onboard whenever physical distancing can’t be maintained.

No date has been set for the resumption of cruising in the Americas. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a no-sail order for U.S. waters through Sept. 30. The association’s safety plan will now go to the CDC, which will consider it as the agency decides

whether to lift the nosail order. The order has been extended twice since March.

The cruise association has issued a voluntary suspension of cruises through Oct. 31. In a conference call Monday, Arnold Donald, the president and CEO of Carnival Corp., said once the CDC lifts its order, it will probably take cruise lines at least a month to prepare their ships and train crew before they can sail.

The safety plan requires testing of passengers and crew, but doesn’t specify the types of coronavirus tests

that companies must use, CLIA Chairman Adam Goldstein said. It also doesn’t make clear that test results must be known before the ship sails.

The plan permits limited shore excursions and requires passengers to wear masks and stay apart from other people during those excursions. Passengers who don’t comply won’t be allowed to reboard.

The plan also requires ships to increase the amount of fresh air in their ventilation systems and use advanced filtration methods where feasible.

Court: Democrats protest Republicans rush to fill vacancy Continued from A1

the private deliberations.

Republicans hold a 5347 majority in the chamber and can confirm a justice by a simple majority.

Barrett has long been favored by conservatives, and those familiar with the process said interest inside the White House seemed to be waning for Lagoa amid concerns by some that she did not have a proven record as a conservative jurist. Lagoa has been pushed by some aides who tout her political advantages of being Hispanic and hailing from the key political battleground state of Florida.

Barrett, 48, a judge on the U.S. Court of Ap-

peals for the 7th Circuit, was a strong contender for the seat that eventually went to Brett Kavanaugh in 2018. At the time, Trump told confidants he was “saving” Barrett for Ginsburg’s seat.

Before joining the 7th Circuit, she had made her mark in law primarily as an academic at the University of Notre Dame, where she received a law degree and later began teaching at age 30. She clerked at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, clerked at the Supreme Court for Justice Antonin Scalia, worked at the Miller, Cassidy, Larroca & Lewin law firm in Washington, D.C., then returned

Tributes to late US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg are seen at the Supreme Court in Washington, DC, on Monday. (NICHOLAS KAMM/AFP via Getty Images/TNS) to Notre Dame.

Barrett has long expressed sympathy with a mode of interpreting the Constitution, called originalism, in which justices try to decipher original meanings of texts in deciding cases.

Many liberals say that approach doesn’t allow the Constitution to change with the times.

Trump has said he would choose a woman, and he admitted that politics may play a role.

He gave a nod to another election battleground state, Michigan, and White House officials confirmed he was referring to Joan Larsen, a federal appeals court judge there.

The president also indicated that Allison Jones Rushing, a 38-year-old appellate judge from North Carolina, is on his short list.

His team is also actively considering Kate Todd, the White House deputy

counsel who has never been a judge but was a clerk for Justice Clarence Thomas.

Democrats, led by presidential nominee Joe Biden, are protesting the Republicans’ rush to replace Ginsburg, saying voters should speak first, on Election Day, and the winner of the White House should fill the vacancy.

Trump dismissed those arguments, telling TV’s “Fox & Friends” on Monday, “I think that would be good for the Republican Party, and I think it would be good for everybody to get it over with.”

The mounting clash over the vacant seat — when to fill it and with whom — injects new turbulence in the presidential campaign with the nation still reeling from the coronavirus pandemic that has killed nearly 200,000 Americans, left millions unemployed

and heightened partisan tensions and anger.

Democrats point to hypocrisy in Republicans trying to rush through a pick so close to the election after McConnell led the GOP in refusing to vote on a nominee of President Barack Obama in February 2016, long before that year’s election. Biden is appealing to GOP senators to “uphold your constitutional duty, your conscience” and wait until after the election.

Ginsburg, 87, died Friday of metastatic pancreatic cancer. She will lie in state at the U.S. Capitol this week, the first woman ever accorded that honor. First, her casket is to be on view midweek on the steps of the high court.

With just over a month before the election, McConnell said the Senate has “more than sufficient time.”

No nominee has won

confirmation so quickly since Sandra Day O’Connor — with no opposition from either party — became the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court in 1981.

Both sides are mobilizing for a wrenching confirmation fight punctuated by crucial issues before the court — healthcare, abortion access and even the potential outcome of the coming presidential election. Some protesters showed up early Monday morning outside the homes of key GOP senators.

At a Trump rally later Monday in Ohio, people chanted, “Fill the seat!”

As the Senate returned to Washington on Monday, several key GOP senators, including Mitt Romney of Utah, declined to say whether they would agree to a swift vote.

Four Republicans could halt a quick confirmation and Trump criticized Republican Sens.

Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska for opposing a vote before elections.

The president warned they would be “very badly hurt” by voters.

Others, including GOP Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Cory Gardner of Colorado, declined to join in opposing the president’s plan.

Biden has appealed to Republicans to join Murkowski and Collins in opposing a confirmation vote before the Nov. 3 election. He said, “Let the people speak. Cool the flames that have engulfed our country.”

NFL: COVID

Quick start not enough Coaches fined for no masks

By ARNIE STAPLETON The Associated Press

Iola High’s Andi Reynolds, shown here at a match earlier this season, played as a doubles team for the first time ever Tuesday, joining Genevive Ward on the court.

REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN

Iola JV squad hits the court INDEPENDENCE — Iola High’s Genevive Ward and Andi Reynolds teamed up for the first time on the tennis court Monday at a junior varsity meet hosted by Independence High School.

The duo showed signs of progress, head coach Chris Belknap said, in going 0-3 on the afternoon, falling by scores of 6-1, 6-5 (in a tiebreak) and 6-0.

Not only was it the first time Ward and Reynolds had paired up, it was the first time Reynolds had ever played a doubles match, Belknap said.

“This was fun to watch as the players played well together,” Belknap said. “They played well, but did not get a victory.”

Iola High’s junior varsity squad started quickly, scoring on its first possession of the game with a 35-yard touchdown pass from Carter Hutton to Jake Skahan. But things went south from there, as visiting Wellsville scored the next 38 points for a 38-6 victory. Among the participants were, at top, Landon Weide attempting a pass from the Mustang end zone; at lower left, Iola’s Drayden Reiter (44) and Cody Wille (65) harassing Wellsville quarterback Drake Richards (2); and at lower right, Iola’s Gage Skahan, left, attempting to elude the grasp of Eagle defender Kye Fouts. Iola’s C team will host Wellsville at 4:30 p.m. Friday. REGISTER/

NFL coaches thumbed their collective — and exposed — noses at the NFL’s mask mandate in Week 2.

The league responded with hefty fines of $100,000 per coach and $250,000 per club.

The first three to get fined were Denver’s Vic Fangio, San Francisco’s Kyle Shanahan and Seattle’s Pete Carroll, according to a person with knowledge of the punishment who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the coaches were not identified.

The punishment was meted out a week after the NFL reminded team personnel on the sidelines about the rules for wearing face coverings during the coronavirus pandemic, lest they put the fledgling season at risk.

More coaches and clubs can expect similar punishments as the memo last week from Troy Vincent, who oversees the league’s football operations, was largely ignored throughout the weekend.

Among other offenders: Patriots coach Bill Belichick and his offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, Colts coach Frank Reich and Rams coach Sean McVay. Capping a weekend of deSee NFL | Page B5

Major League Baseball: Kansas City 4, St. Louis 1

Crest: Volleyball

Relief corps propels Royals KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals were into the Kansas City bullpen by the fourth inning, and Adam Wainwright was looking like a spry youngster rather than a 39-yearold workhorse as the righthander sliced through the Royals batting order.

Just about everything was looking up for a team fighting for a playoff spot.

Then, everything went wrong.

Maikel Franco hit the goahead single off Wainwright with two outs in the sixth inning, and the Kansas City bullpen shut down the Cardinals from the fourth inning on, allowing the Royals to rally for a 4-1 victory on Monday night.

“The hardest part for me is I’m standing on the mound, I know our team needs me to get that zero right there,” said Wainwright, who wound up allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over 5 2/3 innings. “That’s probably the best I felt all year, honestly.

And it hurts to come away with a loss. The team needed me to come away with a win.”

The Cardinals fell 4 1/2 games back of the Cubs in the NL Central and, more importantly, into a tie with Cincinnati for the division’s second guaranteed playoff spot.

Kansas City’s Jorge Soler, shown in a game earlier this season, returned from the injured list Monday to deliver a key RBI in the Royals’ 4-1 win over St. Louis. USA/TNS The Reds beat the Brewers earlier in the night.

“You know, they all count.

Clearly. We don’t come to the park any day and don’t feel good about it,” Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said.

“We played a pretty straightup ballgame and a couple bounces went their way.”

Alex Gordon and Jorge Soler also drove in runs for the Royals, who returned for their final homestand after getting swept in Milwaukee, and were starting off with a playoff contender in the Cardinals that had won four straight games.

It didn’t matter to Carlos Hernandez, making his sec-

ond career start, and a stout Kansas City bullpen. Hernandez allowed one run over 3 2/3 innings before giving way to Jake Newberry, Scott Barlow, Josh Staumont (2-1) and Jesse Hahn. They combined to allow one hit — a two-out single by Paul Goldschmidt — without a walk over the next 4 1/3 innings.

Greg Holland worked around a leadoff single in the ninth for his sixth save.

“The bullpen was fantastic,” Royals manager Mike Matheny said. “One right after the other.”

Lady Lancers finish strong

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

HUMBOLDT — Crest High’s volleyball team rebounded from a tough start to end on a high note Saturday at the Humboldt High School Invitational.

Crest opened play with a 25-4, 25-9 loss to host Humboldt.

“We really struggled with serve receive and could not get any offense going,” Lady Lancer head coach Abigail Hermreck said.

But rather than mope,

Crest rebounded to show markedly improved play from there.

Crest took Central Heights to three sets before falling, 25-22, 21-25, 25-20.

“We did better with our passing and had more swings,” Hermreck said.

The Lady Lancers then took on Royal Valley, the state’s top-ranked Class 3A school.

NASCAR’s dizzying silly season will change landscape CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — There were two early warning signs that NASCAR was heading into its most unpredictable “silly season” in decades.

Former series champion Brad Keselowski accepted a one-year extension with Team Penske and rookie Tyler Reddick renewed with Richard Childress Racing with barely a glance at other options.

Those moves were a wake-up call — the economics that have changed the landscape of NASCAR’s two lower series have finally reached the Cup level.

The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the inevitable: The

Jenna Fryer An AP sports analysis driver market bubble, pushed to its limit with multimillion-dollar salaries for nearly two decades, is about to burst.

A major reset has arrived and team owners have all the power. They can pick and choose between drivers who bring sponsorship dollars (Bubba Wallace) or drivers who have won races (Erik Jones).

When the music stops, the Cup Series lineup will look radically dif-

ferent. Left standing?

It doesn’t look good for Jones, a one-time Kyle Busch protege with a Truck Series title, two Cup playoff appearances and a Southern 500 victory. He is being replaced at Joe Gibbs Racing.

“It’s a tough environment. There’s definitely teams that are struggling to find sponsorship and find money,” Jones said. “There’s rides obviously open out there. I don’t bring anything but my butt, I guess, to put in the seat.

It’s challenging.”

SIGNED FOR 2021

Alex Bowman at Hendrick Motorsports and Ryan Blaney at Penske inked extensions before the pandemic.

Keselowski agreed to a smaller deal with Penske, a gamble that his value will still be high and the market will have improved in 2022.

Aric Almirola renewed at Stewart-Haas Racing, Reddick took the option at RCR, William Byron was extended at Hendrick and Ross Chastain got the seat at Chip Ganassi Racing vacated when Kyle Larson was fired in April for using a racial slur.

That No. 42 had been considered a top available ride and Ganassi awarded it to an eighth-generation watermelon farmer with five combined victories at NASCAR’s lower levels. Chastain is something of a unicorn in that he doesn’t bring sponsorship and doesn’t have a proven Cup record.

Wallace, who has an estimated $18 million in sponsorship to bring with him when he leaves Richard Petty Motorsports, on Monday night said he’d drive for a new team owned by Denny Hamlin and Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan.

NBA legend Michael Jordan, shown in a 2014 photo, is joining with NASCAR driver Denny Hamilin to start their own NASCAR team with Bubba Wallace their driver. THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER/JEFF SINER/TNS Suarez said last week he is looking for his third team in three years.

Corey LaJoie is leaving GoFas Racing; Ty Dillon’s team owner, Bob Germain, wants do sell his charter; and Xfinity Series drivers Chase Briscoe and Austin Cindric both want promotions.

And don’t forget Larson.

He was supposed to be the top free agent this year but was banished to sprint cars after his firing five months ago.

Larson has won 35 races since, is awaiting the appropriate time to apply for reinstatement to NASCAR and, if sponsors agree to forgive him, he should get a job.

The top prize is a seat at Hendrick Motorsports, which will replace seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson.

It’s the job opportunity of a lifetime and LaJoie made a run at it back in January when he hand-delivered a letter to Rick Hendrick at the Hall of Fame ceremony.

WHAT COULD HAPPEN

Every indication is that Hendrick is the only logical place for Larson, though the team has not said if he is a contender for Johnson’s No. 48. That could be because Larson instead could land the No. 88 with Bowman moving to the No. 48.

Hamlin on Monday night ended months of speculation by announcing he’s partnering with Jordan on a one-car team that will prepare the three-time Daytona 500 winner for his future. Hamlin and Jordan selected Wallace

the ability to field more than two cars next year.

Former driver Justin Marks has also been chasing a charter because he’s betting on an overhauled business model in NASCAR when it introduces a new car in 2022. The pandemic delayed the “Next Gen” car, which is expected to dramatically reduce costs and encourage new team ownership.

Spire bought into that belief three years ago, Marks wants in on the action and Hamlin also sees value in the upcoming model.

“Certainly, the financial model hopefully will get better in the next few years for the team owners,” Hamlin said before announcing the partnership.

There are at least a dozen other drivers chasing Cup deals in a flooded market where even backmarker teams are appealing as gainful employment. Drivers like Jones are at the mercy of how other deals play out.

“How can you not worry a little bit?”

Jones said. “There’s times where you lay in bed at night and you think about what the opportunities are going to be and what you’re going to do next year and where you’re going to be and how you’re going to make it all work.

“It’s hard to focus on the race team. You want to go out and focus on that and you’re spending your whole week trying to focus on meetings and phone calls and meeting with new teams, prospective sponsors. So it’s crazy and it’s busy and it’s hard to do your day job.”

Stewart-Haas Racing said it doesn’t expect to change its four-car lineup and Clint Bowyer is the only driver still unsigned. Briscoe, who has seven Xfinity Series wins for SHR this season, wants a promotion; it is not clear what he will do if Bowyer is extended for another year.

Cindric, the regular-season Xfinity champion, is at the mercy of Team Penske. The organization could field a fourth car for him, could stash him in Matt DiBenedetto’s seat at Wood Brothers Racing or leave him in Xfinity another year. But if Cindric is called up to Wood Brothers, it’s going to put DiBenedetto in a tight spot. He wants to return to that team next year and the contractual deadline is September for his option to be picked up.

Richard Petty Motorsports said it plans to be on the grid next season with a replacement for Wallace, and Suarez is a potential fit. It will be difficult because Wallace was RPM’s sponsorship draw.

Microsoft to buy video game group REDMOND, Wash.

(AP) — Microsoft is buying the company behind popular video games The Elder Scrolls, Doom and Fallout.

The software giant said Monday that it is paying $7.5 billion for ZeniMax Media, the parent company of video game publisher Bethesda Softworks.

Microsoft said it is buying Bethesda in part to beef up its Xbox Game Pass game subscription service, which it says has over 15 million subscribers.

Bethesda games, such as Starfield, which is currently in development, will launch on Xbox Game Pass the same day they launch on Xbox or computers, Microsoft said.

Microsoft has new consoles debuting on Nov. 10, the Xbox Series X and stripped down Series S version.

It will be competing against Sony’s new PlayStation 5 console.

Raiders christen new stadium with win over Saints LAS VEGAS (AP) — Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders delivered a performance worthy of their fancy new home.

Too bad none of their fans were able to see it in person.

Carr threw three touchdown passes and the Raiders gave their new fans in Las Vegas plenty to celebrate even if they weren’t allowed in the stadium by beating the New Orleans Saints 34-24 on Monday night.

The new $2 billion stadium in the desert held its first event following the Raiders’ move from Oakland without any fans because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Hopefully our fans, even though they couldn’t be here tonight, hopefully see something they like,” coach Jon Gruden said. “We can’t wait to get them back in this place. It’s such a great place to see a game.”

That was one of the few things that didn’t go right for the Raiders (2-0), who overcame an early 10-point deficit to the Saints (1-1) and opened the season with two straight wins for the fourth time in the

The Las Vegas Raiders opened play Monday at Allegiant Stadium. WIKIPEDIA.ORG past 25 seasons.

“This organization means everything to me,” Carr said.

“They’ve stuck behind me through some hard times. Through some times our team, we struggled, there’s no doubt about it. But when you can get on the other side of things, be 2-0, as the Las Vegas Raiders, that’s a pretty cool thing.”

Carr was in control for most of the night, completing 28 of 38 passes for 282 yards.

Darren Waller had 12 receptions for 103 yards as Carr’s most trusted option.

Carr engineered four

straight scoring drives in the second and third quarters to turn a 10-0 deficit into a 24-17 lead.

“Derek Carr was awesome tonight,” Gruden said. “He made some some plays today that very few guys that I’ve coached could make. I tip my hat to him.”

Picking apart the New Orleans defense with short passes, the Raiders controlled the clock and kept Drew Brees and the Saints off the field. Las Vegas converted 10 of 17 third downs and also went for it successfully twice on fourth down.

The Raiders even survived a fumbled pitch by

Jalen Richard by stopping the Saints and then scoring on the ensuing drive on a 20-yard run

by Richard.

After being gashed on the ground early, the Raiders did a good job against Brees, who struggled without his injured No. 1 receiver Michael Thomas.

Brees went 26 for 38 for 312 yards with one touchdown and a key interception at the end of the first half that set up a field goal for the Raiders.

“If there’s one thing I wish I could take back from the game it would be that,” Brees said.

“Otherwise, we had a

liberate defiance and/or desultory disobedience, Raiders coach Jon Gruden, who said last week he felt Vincent’s memo was directed at him, and Saints coach Sean Payton were shown on a split screen Monday night, both of them breaking the rules.

Gruden wore his mask like a chin strap, and Payton sported his gaiter like a turtleneck.

Following the Raiders’ 34-24 win over the Saints, Gruden revealed he’d had COVID-19 and apologized for violating the rules.

“I’m doing my best,” Gruden said. “I’ve had the virus. I’m doing my best. I’m very sensitive about it. I’m calling the plays. I apologize. If I get fined, I will have to pay the fine.”

The scenes were similar Sunday with head coaches and assistants apparently finding it too hard to keep their faces covered as required under the league’s COVID-19 protocols with either a mask, gaiter or face shield. Players, who, like the coaches, are subject to daily COVID-19 tests, are exempt from the face covering requirements.

Some coaches such as Belichick, McDaniels and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin wore their masks or gaiters over their mouths but not noses. Others such as Carroll, Spagnuolo and Fangio wore their face coverings around their chins or necks, exposing both their mouths and noses.

In his strongly worded memo, Vincent said teams “must remain vigilant and disciplined in following the processes and protocols put in place by not only the league, union and clubs, but also by state and local governments.”

Vincent added: “Becoming careless or ignoring face covering and physical distancing requirements will put the 2020 season at risk.”

The rules don’t apply to players, but all other individuals with bench area access, including coaches and members of the club medical staff, are required to wear face coverings at all times.

Failure to do so, Vincent warned in his memo, “will result in accountability measures being imposed against offending individuals and/or clubs. The face

covering must be worn as designed so that it securely fits across the wearer’s nose and mouth to prevent the transmission of the virus.”

Now, let’s get to some of the more curious calls in Week 2: HILL’S

HELMET:

Tyreek Hill got away with ripping off his helmet after scoring a touchdown early in the fourth quarter, something that helped the Chiefs come back to beat the Chargers in overtime as Patrick Mahomes improved to 6-0 in games Kansas City has trailed by double digits.

Hill hauled in a 54yard TD catch from Mahomes to pull the Chiefs to 17-15 with 12:58 remaining, but as he tumbled out of the end zone, he ripped off his helmet, which should have been flagged as unsportsmanlike conduct.

That would have given the Chargers the choice of the 15-yard penalty enforced on the conversion or the kickoff. That could have allowed the Chargers to push the Chiefs back to the 17, effectively taking away the 2-point conversion attempt.

Instead, the Chiefs

converted the 2-point pass from the 2, tying the game at 17.

Harrison Butker’s 30yard field goal tied it at 20 at the end of regulation and his 58-yarder in overtime won it.

FALCONS

lot of metal errors. I felt like we were not playing as fast and just as sure and confident.”

After the Saints cut the deficit to 31-24 on Alvin Kamara’s second TD run, the Raiders took advantage of a pass interference call against Janoris Jenkins and then iced the game with a 54-yard field goal

by Daniel Carlson.

“We got to do a better job coaching,” coach Sean Payton said. “I don’t think it’s going to be a real pleasant film to watch — for some of our star players as well.”

AVERTING DISASTER

The Raiders almost had a big blunder on the opening drive of the third quarter when Carr fumbled a snap on third down from the 1. Alec Ingold recovered for Las Vegas and Carr threw a 1-yard TD to Waller on fourth down to give the Raiders their first lead of the game at 24-17.

TALE OF TWO QUARTERS

The Raiders first game in Las Vegas didn’t get off to a great start with the Saints driving for scores on their first two drives to take a 10-0 lead on Kamara’s first TD run. The Raiders punted on their first two drives before Carr and the offense got going in the second quarter.

Carr went 14 for 18 for 139 yards in the quarter, throwing a 3-yard TD pass to Ingold and a perfectly placed 15-yarder to Zay Jones. The TD was capped by Jones gathering his teammates and pretending to give them all hand sanitizer.

Nicholas Morrow then intercepted Brees late in the half, setting up Daniel Carlson’s 28-yard field goal that made it 17-17.

UNMASKED MEN

Both head coaches often did not wear masks on the sideline despite an edict earlier in the week to do so. A person with knowledge of the punishment told The Associated Press that at least three coaches have been fined $100,000 for violating the league’s rules that they wear face coverings on the sideline.

Gruden apologized while revealing for the first time that he had contracted the coronavirus.

“I’ve had the virus.

I’m doing my best,” Gruden said. “I’m very sensitive about it. I’m calling the plays. I just want to communicate in these situations. I apologize. If I get fined, I will have to pay the fine.”

FREEZE:

The Atlanta Falcons inexplicably failed to go after an onside kick by the Cowboys, a collective brain lock that helped make them the only team in NFL history to lose despite scoring 39 points and not turning the ball over.

Dallas trailed 20-0 after one quarter, 29-10 at halftime and 39-24 with less than five minutes left in the fourth quarter. But after the Cowboys pulled to 39-37 with 1:49 remaining and no timeouts left, the Falcons watched Greg Zuerlein’s onside kick slowly skitter the requisite 10 yards without diving for the ball.

Instead of any of five nearby Falcons smothering the ball and ending the game, Cowboys cornerback C.J. Goodwin slipped in between the frozen Falcons and recovered the ball. That led to Zeuerline’s 46yard field goal as time expired.

MVJH volleyball team on a roll OSWEGO — Marmaton Valley Junior High’s volleyball teams had a successful night on the court Monday.

The A team swept both of its matches, defeating host Oswego, 2521 and 25-13, and Uniontown, 25-21 and 25-21.

As has become the norm, the Wildcats had a balanced attack.

Lexi Lowder had 20 points, two aces and two kills. Braelyn Sutton delivered 16 points, five aces, three kills and a spike. Jacee Mattox had 14 points, six aces, a kill and two spikes. Shelby Sprague chipped in with seven points and two aces. Dani Deer provided six points, a kill and two spikes. Khiana Haynes had four points, two kills and a spike.

The A team improved to 7-2 with the wins.

The Marmaton Valley B team defeated Uniontown, 25-12 and 25-17.

ly, losing 25-20 in the first set and 25-9 in the second.

“We played well against the number one team in 3A,” Hermreck said. “It was very inspiring to see. We played very relaxed, communicated, and played well together. The girls were very pumped even though we lost.”

MOVES

The Cardinals activated OF Dexter Fowler and RHP Giovanny Gallegos from the injured list before the game.

Fowler had been out since Sept. 2 to deal with a stomach ailment that required a medication regimen that would have made him more vulnerable to the coronavirus should he become exposed. Gallegos was sidelined by a groin injury.

OF Justin Williams and RHP Nabil Crismatt were optioned to the club’s alternate training site and RHP Roel Ramirez was designated for assignment to create space on the roster.

ROYALS MOVES

The Royals reinstated Soler from the injured list before the game and optioned infielder Kelvin Gutierrez to their alternate training site.

Soler was hitting .235 with eight homers and 22 RBIs before hurting his oblique on Sept. 5.

UP NEXT

RHP Brady Singer (3-4, 4.14 ERA) tries to build on a 14-inning scoreless streak covering his last two starts when the Royals continue their series against St. Louis.

It is the sixth-longest active streak in the majors. The Cardinals go with LHP Austin Gomber (0-1, 2.37), who pitched in relief of injured starter Dakota Hudson on Thursday night in Pittsburgh.
