Virus cuts ranks of substitute teachers

By VICKIE MOSS The Iola Register

Mickey Rutledge loves to teach. After retiring from teaching physical education for 23 years at a school in Shawnee Mission, she wasn’t quite ready to give it up.

She moved to her hometown of Iola nine years ago and became a substitute.

But because of the coronavirus pandemic, she’s stepping aside for at least a couple months. Her husband’s health is vulnerable because of a

past heart attack, and she can’t take the risk that she might contract COVID-19.

“I feel so bad for the teachers and ad- Mickey ministrators. Rutledge I love teaching and I hate to put them in a spot, but I have to think of my health and my family’s health,” Rutledge said.

Rutledge is one of several substitutes who did not sign

up for USD 257’s program this year because of the coronavirus.

Only about half as many substitutes will be available this year compared to previous years, Judy Baker, substitute coordinator for the district, said. Just 29 subs have signed on for this year, compared to between 50 and 60 in a normal year.

That’s directly related to COVID-19, Baker said. All of those who have dropped out of the program said they were concerned for their own

health and safety or for that of a family member because of the coronavirus pandemic.

“I’m a little worried, but until any sort of illness starts hitting us, I just don’t know,”

Hurricane Laura slams Gulf Coast LAKE ARTHUR, La. (AP) — Hurricane Laura pounded the Gulf Coast for hours with ferocious wind, torrential rains and rising seawater as it roared ashore over southwestern Louisiana near the Texas border early today, threatening the lives of people who didn’t evacuate.

Authorities had ordered coastal residents to get out, but not everyone did in an area devastated by Rita in 2005.

Laura’s howling winds battered a tall building in Lake Charles, blowing out windows as glass and debris flew to the ground. Hours after landfall, the wind and rain were still blowing too hard to check for survivors.

“There are some people still in town and people are calling ... but there ain’t no way to get to them,” Tony Guillory, president of the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury, said early this morning over the phone as he hunkered down in a Lake Charles government building that was shaking from the storm.

Guillory said he hopes stranded people can be rescued later today but fears that blocked roads, downed power lines and flooding could get in the way.

State reports highest 7-day spike in new virus cases

By ANDY TSUBASA FIELD The Associated Press

The vibe of the event now is more relaxed, with a focus on bluegrass, blues, folk, country and other “roots” genres.

It’s music you want to listen to while, “laying out under the stars,” Ramirez said.

She also said that although the festival draws a lot of outof-towners,” our hope this year is that more local people will come out.”

“Bring your wife. Bring your kids. Bring your dog!”

Ramirez exclaimed.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas officials on Wednesday reported the highest seven-day jump in new COVID-19 cases since the state confirmed its first positive case, albeit with a declining death rate.

The state Department of Health and Environment reported 1,536 new cases since Monday, an increase of 4%, to bring the total to 39,937. The department reported an additional 11 COVID-19-related deaths, to put the pandemic total at 437.

The two-day jump in reported coronavirus cases gave Kansas its biggest seven-day spike in new cases since the pandemic reached the state in early March. The average number of new cases for the seven days ending Wednesday was 578, almost 18% higher than the previous peak of 491 cases a day for the seven days

Top cat Katelynn Morgan, a senior at Marmaton Valley High School, has spent the past few weeks helping repaint the interior of Marmaton Market in Moran. On Wednesday, Morgan was putting the finishing touches of an outline of what will be a large Wildcat logo, in honor of the school mascot. Morgan also is painting the store logo, as well as special markings for the grocery’s dairy and meat sections. The painting is part of a series of ongoing improvements at the store, including a new roof and better interior signage along each aisle. REGISTER/RICHARD LUKEN

Judge halts execution of Kansas girl’s killer

By JESSICA GRESKO The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — A judge in Washington halted the federal government’s planned Friday execution of a man who kidnapped, raped and killed a 10-year-old Kansas girl, saying the law requires the government to get a prescription for the drug it plans to use.

In an opinion early Thursday, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said a federal law that regulates drugs requires the government to get a prescription for the lethal injection drug pentobarbital, which it plans to use to execute Keith Dwayne Nelson. The government is appealing.

Nelson’s execution was scheduled to be the fifth carried out this year by the federal government at the death chamber of the federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana. The executions followed the Trump administration’s announcement last year that it would resume executing death row inmates for the first time since 2003.

Chutkan’s 13-page opinion came hours after the government carried out the execution of Lezmond Mitchell, the only Native American on federal death row, despite objections from many Navajo leaders. With Mitchell’s execution, the federal government has now carried out more executions in 2020 than it had in the previous 56 years combined. Two more executions are sched-

uled for September. All of the executions have been carried out using pentobarbital.

Chutkan, who was nominated by President Barack Obama, said in her opinion that it is “undisputed that a prescription is required to dispense pentobarbital in the ordinary course.� “It is also undisputed,� she wrote, “that the government has not obtained a prescription — nor does it intend to — for the use of pentobarbital in Nelson’s execution.�

But Chutkan said that under previous court decisions, when pentobarbital is being used for an execution it is still subject to the requirements in the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act so a prescription is required. “The court hereby enjoins Defendants from executing Keith Nelson until they have met the requirements of the FDCA,� Chutkan wrote.

The government has argued that pentobarbital is not subject to the act when used for lethal injections. It did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment before business hours Thursday.

Nelson pleaded guilty in 2001 and was sentenced to death in the 1999 kidnapping, rape and killing of Pamela Butler. The 10-year-old was rollerblading in front of her Kansas home when Nelson abducted her.

He later raped her before strangling her to death with a wire.

On Sunday, KU chancellor Doug Girod said a cease-and-desist order had been issued by the university to fraternities Kappa Sigma and Phi Kappa Psi. The university’s directive amounted to a 14-day public “health ban� applicable to all members of these fraternities for engaging in irresponsible behavior.

On Wednesday, he applauded the Greek community for participating in the university’s testing program. “Our situation is fluid and can change rapidly,� the chancellor said. “We anticipate additional county-issued quarantine orders will continue to impact the KU community in the days ahead.�

LAWRENCE — Officials at Lawrence-Douglas County Public Health moved Wednesday to issue quarantine orders to 10 fraternities and sororities at the University of Kansas in an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19, and the university’s chancellor says more such notices are expected in the future.

Action by county health officials was in response to escalation of positive coronavirus tests administered to students, faculty and staff at the university in conjunction with start of fall semester classes Monday. The majority of positive cases among students live in the vast Greek housing system at KU. County disease investigators have been working to identify close contacts of positive cases and isolate those people from the community. “This is one of the most effective measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19,� said Thomas Marcellino, the county’s health officer. “Even if you are asymptomatic, it is important to comply with this directive, especially to protect those in our community who are at high risk.�

with outbreaks, its help only stretches so far.

Kansas health secretary Lee Norman last week suggested the state contract with private labs willing to expand their capacity, and connect nursing homes to them. “That would really speed up the turnaround time on the testing a lot,� he told a state task force.

Swift test results help nursing homes catch cases early, saving lives. They also let homes clear healthy employees faster so they can go back to work. That’s critical because nursing aides are taking on long hours — risking burnout and driving up overtime costs — to cover shifts for colleagues waiting to find out if a sore throat or a cough could be COVID-19. “You can’t expect that they’re going to do that forever,� said Joe Ewert, CEO of Brewster Place in Topeka. “You just can’t.�

Half a year into the pandemic, Kansas nursing homes still face uneven access to fast COVID-19 testing through the state’s patchwork of private labs and hospitals. And the prices they pay for it vary widely.

Testing access has dramatically increased in Kansas from its initial slow start. Last month alone, it tested 4% of its population.

But that hasn’t guaranteed quick and cheap options for long-term care.

Meanwhile, federal tallies show the virus has reached nursing home residents in about 30 counties, from the state’s most populous to some of its most rural. That’s caused more than half of the state’s coronavirus death toll.

Fifty outbreaks are active in long-term care facilities right now.

lish baseline positivity rates among campus populations to determine appropriate interventions, he said.

Quarantine orders from the county apply to individuals living at the houses deemed to be close contacts of someone testing positive. A close contact refers to people who spent more than 10 minutes within six feet of a person who tested positive.

Individuals assigned to quarantine could serve that time at their permanent residence, but any requirement to do this would be an individual’s or chapter’s decision and not part of a public health mandate. “Based on the 14day incubation period of the virus, it is most productive to serve the quarantine instead

of chasing a negative test through Watkins Health Services,� said Dan Patridge, director of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department. “If you are feeling symptomatic during quarantine, contact your health care provider to be screened for a test.�

The most recent testing statistics from KU indicated 222 people were positive among 19,400 assess for a positivity rate of 1.1%. As of Tuesday, the rate among members of Greek sororities and fraternities was 5.4%.

Kansas nursing homes need reliably fast and affordable access to testing. Janis Swanson/Courtesy Photo any given time. Most turn out not to have the coronavirus, but checking can take anywhere from 48 hours to a week.

That variation is partly because wait times — for an appointment and then to get test results — differ by week, depending on demand, and by hospital or clinic, for similar reasons. One Brewster employee may go to one hospital for the test, and another may head to a different one.

Across the state, nursing homes’ experiences also depend on what resources their county health departments can offer. “It’s a little bit odd that we have a million different ways to do it,�

Ewert said. “It’s a little bit curious that folks in my profession aren’t basically (all) provided with the same access.�

An hour southeast of Topeka, nursing home employees with symptoms can count on almost immediate results from rapid-testing machines that Lyon County’s health agency acquired amid an outbreak at a meatpacking

plant.

Months ago, Ewert ordered a rapid-testing machine, too. “We are still waiting,� he said. If it ever comes through, “then we can start getting in line for the reagent. I anticipate every single step will be a long wait and a fight.�

The Trump administration has said it will start requiring weekly testing in many nursing homes, and promised to send out 14,000 machines. But nursing home administrators have many questions about how accurate and reliable the devices are, when they will arrive, and how accessible and affordable related testing supplies will be.

This spring, the administration promised to send protective gear to nursing homes, but when the boxes arrived, some facilities reported receiving subpar or unusable equipment.

Brewster Place in Topeka is dealing with its first cluster of cases among patients. Six employees and three residents tested positive for the virus that causes COVID-19.

Vice President Mike Pence touts ‘law and order’ at RNC

By ELI STOKOLS and NOAH BIERMAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Mike Pence emerged from President Donald Trump’s long shadow Wednesday night to accept the nomination for vice president, delivering a revisionist case for their management of the coronavirus pandemic and offering unwavering support for law enforcement amid growing protests over the police shooting of another unarmed Black man.

The rising calls for racial justice and an end to police abuses prompted the cancellation of professional basketball and baseball games and formed a chaotic backdrop to the third night of the Republican National Convention, which took place as a monstrous hurricane roared toward the Gulf Coast, threatening widespread devastation.

Speaking from historic Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Pence elided over the multiple crises convulsing the country,

offering gauzy claims of success and criticizing Democrats for a convention last week that focused on the grim realities of a virus that has killed more than 180,000 Americans and put millions out of work in the last six months.

“Where Joe Biden sees American darkness, we see American greatness,” Pence said, in one of several harsh attacks against the Democratic nominee. “In these challenging times, our country needs a president who believes in America.”

Unlike all but one other speaker, Pence acknowledged the looming threat from Hurricane Laura and urged residents along the Gulf Coast to stay safe as the most powerful storm to hit the U.S. this year was poised to crash into the the upper Texas coast and western Louisiana before dawn today. Up to 20 million people were potentially in its path.

But Pence stuck to the script on matters of crime and punishment, declaring that he and Trump support “peace-

(Drew Angerer/Getty Images/TNS) ful protest” while demanding that violent protesters and those who damage statues be “prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” adding an appeal to those angered by efforts to remove Confederate statues.

“If you want a president who falls silent when our heritage is demeaned or insulted, then he’s not your man,” Pence said.

Pence suggested — falsely — that Biden supports defunding law enforcement.

“The hard truth is: You won’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America,” Pence said. “Under President Trump, we will stand with those who stand on the thin blue line, and we’re not going to defund the police — not now, not ever.”

To some extent, the growing uproar over the police shooting of 29-year-old Jacob Blake in front of his children in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Sunday overshadowed Pence’s comments on urban unrest, and may complicate the

president’s reelection strategy.

Trump, who flew to Baltimore for Pence’s speech and greeted him on stage for a rendition of the national anthem, had planned to run on his economic record before it was ravaged by the pandemic.

As millions of Americans lost their jobs and a deep recession set in, he shifted to a muscular “law and order” message, signaling that he was willing to use armed force if necessary to put down violent protests, or even peaceful protests — while stoking fears of crime and portraying protesters as vigilantes.

BUT THE VIDEO of Blake being shot multiple times in the back has reenergized activists demanding police reforms three months after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis spurred a national reckoning on race.

On Wednesday, Trump tweeted that he would send National Guard troops to Kenosha to quash any violence

arising from protests, prompting the state’s Democratic governor, Tony Evers, to agree to request them. But there were signs that the calls for police reform could not be ignored.

As part of the backlash against the Blake shooting, the NBA suspended all playoff games Wednesday following the Milwaukee Bucks’ decision not to take the floor for their game. At least three Major League Baseball games were also canceled after players opted not to play in protest.

But the first speakers to take the stage Wednesday night did not acknowledge the fast-changing events, which included the arrest Wednesday of Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, who was charged with two counts of murder for allegedly killing two protesters in Kenosha with an AR-15 assault rifle.

Rittenhouse left a trail of social media posts including a video he took from the front row of a Trump rally in January.

Subs: USD 257 faces smaller pool of substitutes than usual Continued from A1

might face short-term shortages of available substitutes for various reasons such as teachers attending training or an outbreak of flu or other types of illness. Eleven subs also work for other districts, so USD 257 has to compete for their time.

Curriculum director Jenna Higginbotham has changed the way the district provides training, which will likely mean less need for substitute teachers. Also, most training has been converted to Zoom or other types of online meetings, which could potentially decrease the need for subs.

The smaller pool of

substitutes is just one concern with COVID-19.

In the past, the district would combine classes or call in administrators or counselors to cover classes in the event of a substitute shortage.

Combining classes isn’t likely to be an option because of social distancing restrictions.

“With the changes to training, we might get by with the numbers we have,” Baker said. “But we don’t know yet.”

Rutledge said she hopes to rejoin the substitute list later in the year, and is waiting to see how things go. She has developed good relationships with some of the teachers, who knew they could call on her to

cover their classrooms.

She has taught all grade levels since she became a substitute, but prefers to work with younger students, especially preschool and kindergarten.

“I truly enjoy the kids.

It’s fun,” she said.

She supports the restrictions put in place by the district, such as wearing masks, social distancing and more stringent hygiene practices.

“I hope it gets better. I hope they get a vaccine.

It’s a lot of changes for the kids. I’m just afraid of the unknown.”

BAKER encourages anyone interested in becoming a substitute

to contact her to learn more.

“It’s an awesome opportunity for people who want part-time work,” Baker said.

“It’s really a nice opportunity to get to know people. It’s going to be different every day. You can sub for preschool up through 12th grade and there’s all types of personalities. It’s interesting to find out what really goes on in the schools.”

Substitutes must be licensed by the Kansas Department of Education. They need 60 credit hours of college but a degree is not required.

Substitutes must submit their fingerprints and undergo a background

check. The first step is to apply online at ksde.org.

At this time of year, the process can take four to six weeks. In the spring, when applications increase, it’s typically a longer process.

Substitutes can accept assignments as desired.

In USD 257, they are paid $95 per day.

Some subs choose to work on a nearly fulltime basis, especially those who are listed with multiple districts.

Others may choose to work only a small amount.

Substitutes come from a wide range of backgrounds, Baker said.

Some are fresh out of college and looking for work until they find a

full-time job. Some are retired. Some work parttime and want more options. Four of this year’s substitutes are new to the district. One is already working a longterm sub assignment, dropping the available pool to 28.

Typically, there’s little need for substitutes at the beginning of a school year. The busiest time is during flu season around the middle and end of winter.

Already, this school year is proving to be an exception.

“This is our third day of school and we’ve had two subs so far,” Baker said. For more information, contact Baker at 620-365-4711.

ending Aug. 17.

“I think it’s because people are starting to congregate with schools and with other settings and, quite honestly, the activities we saw even a week or two ago are coming home to roost,” Dr. Lee Norman, state secretary of health and environment, said in an

interview.

Still, the death rate appears to be dropping.

The 437 deaths reported Wednesday represent 1.09% of the reported cases, the lowest figure since April.

Norman said 10.3% of Kansas’ COVID-19 tests return positive, which is the sixth highest rate in the country.

Kansas State University said it plans to install in dorm rooms a device that emits dry hydrogen peroxide to lower the risk of students being infected with COVID-19.

The university had installed units in some of its facilities including the student health center and recreation

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Far-right extremists adept at co-opting protesters’ message One of the most disturbing elements in watching the videos of three white police officers firing shots at Jacob Blake, a 29-yearold Black man, was the proximity of children.

In one video, a toddler, presumably that of a neighbor, is just a few yards away from the violent scene.

In another, Blake is shown being shot numerous times by police as he attempts to enter his car.

Inside the vehicle were his three sons, ages 3, 5, and 8.

Blake was unarmed.

IF THEY COULD replay that Sunday afternoon in Kenosha, Wis., law enforcement officials hopefully would have pursued their investigation of Mr. Blake in a more peaceful manner.

If tempers were hot, they could have used their training to de-escalate tensions.

Or come back later. As far as we know Blake was not a fugitive.

Instead, they used unnecessary force. And put others, including youths, in harm’s way.

Blake has survived the assault, but remains in serious condition due to one of the seven bullets fired at close range severing his spinal column.

Blake’s shooting is not an anomaly.

Black Americans are more than 2.5 times likely to die at the hand of police than whites.

THE OUTRAGE of yet another instance of excessive force by police has sparked three nights of violent protests in Kenosha, including two deaths, and untold destruction to public and private buildings.

In their quest for racial justice, those protesting the violence against Blake have asked authorities to give a full account of the incident as well as require

officers to wear body cameras so their actions are recorded.

Had it not been for a bystander recording the incident on their cellphone, there would have been no visual record of how Blake was treated.

Nationwide, BLM advocates are calling for the repeal of Graham v. Connor, a 30-year-old U.S. Supreme Court decision that in essence legalizes police violence by giving them undue protections.

Kenoshans, rightfully so, are worried that what should be peaceful protests have been turned into outright riots.

Disturbingly, throngs of self-declared militia, many heavily armed, have descended on the town.

They are more than a threatening menace.

In their eagerness to take “the law” into their own hands they are perpetrating violence.

On Wednesday, a far-right extremist was arrested for what officials described as a “vigilante act” in connection with the deaths of two protesters during the Kenosha demonstrations.

Such actions harken back to the lynchings of the Jim Crow days.

Singer Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit,” depicts it best.

“Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze “Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.”

The late Civil Rights activist Rep. John Lewis spoke about “good trouble,” a turning up of the heat to effect positive change.

During these divisive times, the challenge is for us to not lose sight of the goal of racial justice, no matter the attempts by others to dilute or divert us from the message that Black Lives Matter.

Kenosha shooting deaths sadly predictable The tragedy unfolding in Kenosha, Wisconsin, worsened Tuesday night in ways that are at once shocking but also seemingly inevitable.

Two people were shot dead and another wounded as protesters and self-styled militiamen faced off during a third night of street demonstrations after police on Sunday shot and gravely wounded yet another apparently unarmed Black man, Jacob Blake.

Details of the latest violence remained sketchy Wednesday, but videos and photographs show verbal confrontations between protesters and heavily armed volunteers who said they were trying to protect a gas station in the area racked by vandalism, theft and arson the previous night. “They’re a militia,” Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth told reporters. “They’re like a vigilante group.”

In one of the videos, a young white man carrying a military-style rifle can be seen running down a street pursued by a small group of people as one person yells, “He shot someone!” One man knocks the gunman to the ground, and in the scuffle the gunman opens fire, appearing to hit two people at close range. He then gets back onto his feet and walks calmly down the road toward emergency vehicles. Police later reported the arrest of Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, in Lake County, Illinois, in connection with the deaths.

So why does this escalation of violence seem inevitable?

Because of the guns.

Protests have roiled the nation for three months now following the death of George Floyd in the custody of Minneapolis police and the shooting death of Breonna Taylor during a police raid in Louisville, Kentucky. Those protests have at times turned destructive and violent, which is bad enough. But there’s been a lethal element too — the slayings in Kenosha add to at least a dozen others connected with protests across more than 100 cities this sum-

The slayings in Kenosha add to at least a dozen others connected with protests across more than 100 cities this summer, an emotional outpouring of frustration over the nation’s inability to counter anti-Black racism.

mer, an emotional outpouring of frustration over the nation’s inability to counter anti-Black racism.

Self-styled militias have also shown up at sites of peaceful protests in organized and unwelcome displays of firepower, ostensibly to protect life and property but in reality just ratcheting up tension with their overt attempts at intimidation. The militias aren’t the cause of all or even most of the violence, of course, but their presence is an unnecessary infusion of yet more volatility.

In Albuquerque, New Mexico, a 31-year-old man, part of a group intending to stop demonstrators from harming a statue of Spanish conquistador Juan de Onate, was arrested in June after allegedly shooting and wounding one of the protesters. The same month, police in California charged an Air Force sergeant affiliated with the “boogaloo” movement — rightwing provocateurs intent on fomenting civil war — in the shooting deaths of a federal security guard in Oakland and a Santa Cruz sheriff ’s deputy.

Meanwhile, the restrictions imposed by state and local governments to slow the spread of COVID-19 fueled their own strain of frustration and tension, prompting a separate set of anti-government demonstrations. In several places, protests have included the open display of firearms by people (nearly all men), most notoriously in the halls of the Michigan State Capitol.

This is democracy in action: Peaceful protests against institutional racism and the

deaths of unarmed Black people at the hands of police. Peaceful protests against statues erected to venerate the nation’s white supremacist roots. Peaceful protests against public health orders.

And counterprotests against all those other protests. Voices raised together to demand change, to defend the status quo, to complain about government actions or to make whatever other point they might want in the free exercise of their First Amendment rights.

But then, violence.

There is, of course, plenty of blame to go around. Protesters shouldn’t resort to vandalism — at least 34 fires have been set in Kenosha since Blake was shot on Sunday — and opposing sides in a public debate shouldn’t start pushing, shoving and swinging signs at each other.

But they do. And the introduction of firearms into such scenes makes it almost inevitable that a gun will eventually get used.

The details will, of course, frame our understanding of what happened in Kenosha.

But what is already clear is that self-styled militia, or civilian patrols, or whatever they want to call themselves, have no business assigning themselves the armed defenders of the public peace.

As we’ve seen over and over again, as a society we have yet to properly balance the role of the trained police in maintaining public safety in this country. Adding armed vigilantes to the mix just elevates tensions and increases the likelihood that violence will spin off in ever wider and consuming circles.

Hurricane: Storm surge ‘unsurvivable’ Continued from A1

we’ve got to pray for them, because looking at the storm surge, there would be little chance of survival,” Louisiana Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser told ABC’s Good Morning America.

With nearly 470,000 homes and businesses without power in the two states, near-constant lightning provided the only light for some.

The National Hurricane Center said Laura slammed the coast with winds of 150 mph at 1 a.m. as a Category 4 hurricane near Cameron, a 400-person community about 30 miles east of the Texas border.

“Unsurvivable storm surge with large and destructive waves will cause catastrophic damage,” forecasters warned. They said the storm surge could reach 15-20 feet in Port Arthur, Texas, and a stretch of Louisiana including Lake Charles, a city of 80,000 people on Lake Calcasieu.

“This surge could penetrate up to 40 miles inland from the immediate coastline, and flood waters will not fully recede for several days,” the hurricane center said.

Hours after landfall, Laura was still a Category 2 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 110 mph. Its center was past Lake Charles, moving north at about 15 mph, but with damaging winds that stretched over much of Louisiana and parts of eastern Texas, reaching as far as 175 miles from Laura’s center.

Dick Gremillion, the emergency director in Calcasieu Parish, said hours after landfall that they hadn’t been able to get out and look for damage.

“The wind is still over 50 mph. It’s going to have to drop significantly before they can even run

any emergency calls. We also need daylight,” Gremillion said in an interview with KPLC-TV. More than 580,000 coastal residents were ordered to join the largest evacuation since the coronavirus pandemic began and many did, filling hotels and sleeping in cars since officials didn’t want to open mass shelters and worsen the spread of COVID-19.

But in Cameron Parish, where Laura came ashore, Nungesser said 50 to 150 people refused pleas to leave and planned to weather the storm in everything from elevated homes to recreational vehicles.

The result could be deadly, since some houses weren’t raised high enough to withstand the massive storm surge.

“It’s a very sad situation,” said Ashley Buller, assistant director of emergency preparedness. “We did everything we could to encourage them to leave.”

Becky Clements, 56, didn’t take chances; she evacuated from Lake Charles after hearing that it could take a direct hit. With memories of the destruction almost 15 years ago by Hurricane Rita, she and her

family found an Airbnb hundreds of miles inland.

“The devastation afterward in our town and that whole corner of the state was just awful,” Clements recalled Wednesday.

“Whole communities were washed away, never to exist again.”

Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Pete Gaynor urged people in Laura’s path to stay home, if that’s still safe. “Don’t go out sightseeing. You put yourself, your family at risk and you put first responders at risk,” he told “CBS This Morning.”

FEMA has plenty of resources staged to help survivors, Gaynor said.

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards mobilized the National Guard to help, and state Department of Wildlife crews had boats prepared for water rescues.

Forecasters expected a weakened Laura to cause widespread flash flooding in states far from the coast. An unusual tropical storm warning was issued as far north as Little Rock, where forecasters expected gusts of 50 mph and a deluge of rain through Friday. After turning eastward and reaching the Atlantic Ocean, it could again become a tropical storm and threaten the Northeast.

Laura hit the U.S. after killing nearly two dozen people on the island of Hispaniola, including 20 in Haiti and three in the Dominican Republic, where it knocked out power and caused intense flooding.

Laura was the seventh named storm to strike the U.S. this year, setting a new record for U.S. landfalls by the end of August. The old record was six in 1886 and 1916, according to Colorado State University hurricane researcher Phil Klotzbach.

U.S. economy shrank 31.7% in second quarter

By JOSH BOAK The Associated Press

BALTIMORE (AP) — The U.S. economy shrank at an alarming annual rate of 31.7% during the April-June quarter as it struggled under the weight of the viral pandemic, the government estimated today. It was the sharpest quarterly drop on record.

The Commerce Department downgraded its earlier estimate of the U.S. gross domestic product last quarter, finding that the devastation was slightly less than the 32.9% annualized contraction it had estimated at the end of July. The previous worst quarterly drop since record-keeping began in 1947 was a 10% annualized loss in 1958.

Last quarter, businesses shuttered and millions of workers lost jobs as the world’s largest economy went into lockdown mode in what succeeded only fitfully in limiting the spread of reported viral infections. The U.S. economy fell an annualized 5% in the first three months of the year as the coronavirus began to make its presence felt in February and March.

A bounce-back in hiring as many businesses reopened suggested that the economy began to recover in

June with third quarter growth estimated to be around 20% annualized. But economists say a full recovery remains far off given that the virus has yet to be contained and the government’s financial support has faded.

“As we approach the fall, we see four important risks for the economy: a failure to provide further fiscal stimulus, a second wave of COVID-19 infection during the flu season, major election uncertainty and rising trade tensions with China,” said Lydia Boussour, senior U.S. economist at Oxford Economics.

Unemployment is still high at 10.2%, and roughly 1 million people are applying for jobless aid each week even as the amount of aid they receive has shrunk. Consumer confidence has tumbled.

Though the stock market and home sales are surging, the broader economy shows signs of stalling, and millions face potential evictions from their homes.

The challenges reflect the unusual nature of the downturn.

Many U.S. households have increased their savings and paid off debt — which could either signal a hesitancy to spend as they have in the past or pent-up demand that could be unleashed once the pandemic ends.

Three arrested in Eureka man’s death EUREKA, Kan. (AP) — Two men and a 17-year-old male have been charged with murder in the death of a man in Eureka earlier this month, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation said Wednesday.

The KBI announced the arrest of 30-yearold Noah JE Farr, 30, of Dighton; a 17-yearold male from El Dorado; and Joseph E Warden, 25, also of El Dorado. All three were charged with felony murder, aggravated burglary, felony theft and conspiracy to commit felony theft.

They are suspects in the killing of Danny Shue, 78, at his home in Eureka on Aug. 18.

The KBI has not released details about Shue’s death.

The three suspects were arrested Tuesday. Farr was being held in the Finney County Jail and Warden was being held in Greenwood County.

The juvenile was taken to a juvenile facility.

Kenosha protests peaceful after night of chaos, shootings

KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — Protests in Kenosha over the police shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, were mostly peaceful following the arrest of a 17-year-old police admirer accused of killing two people and wounding a third during a chaotic night of demonstrations and unrest.

As of early today, there were no groups patrolling with long guns as there were during previous nights of protests over the Sunday shooting of Blake, who was left paralyzed. Protesters also stayed away from a courthouse that had been the site of standoffs with law enforcement.

Kyle Rittenhouse, of Antioch, Illinois, about 15 miles from Kenosha, was taken into custody on Wednesday in Illinois on suspicion of first-degree intentional homicide in shootings late Tuesday that were largely captured on cellphone video.

“I just killed somebody,” the gunman, carrying a semi-automatic rifle, could be heard saying at one point while jogging away from a man who had just been fatally shot in the head.

In the wake of the killings, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers authorized the deployment of 500 members of the National Guard to Kenosha, doubling the number of troops in the city of 100,000 midway between Milwaukee and Chica-

go. The governor’s office said he is working with other states to bring in additional National Guard members and law officers. Authorities also announced a 7 p.m. curfew, though protesters ignored it again Wednesday.

Protesters marched past the intersection where two people were shot Tuesday night, stopping to gather around the spot where one person was shot, and to pray and lay flowers.

Daijon Spann said he decided to join the demonstration because one of those killed the night before was a friend.

“I couldn’t take it any more,” he said. “I couldn’t just sit there and watch my friend die.”

Evers, a Democrat, issued a statement asking those who wanted to exercise their First Amendment rights to “please do so peacefully and safely” and urging others to “please stay home and let local first responders, law enforcement and members of the Wisconsin National Guard do their jobs.”

“A senseless tragedy like this cannot happen again,” Evers said.

In Washington, the Justice Department said it is sending in more than 200 federal agents from the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The White House said up to 2,000 National Guard troops would be made available.

The Justice Department also announced that the U.S. attorney’s office

and FBI would conduct a civil rights investigation into the shooting of Blake, in cooperation with Wisconsin state law enforcement agencies.

The two people killed late Tuesday were identified only as a 26-yearold Silver Lake, Wisconsin, resident and a 36-year-old from Kenosha. The wounded person, a 36-year-old from West Allis, Wisconsin, was expected to survive, police said.

“We were all chanting ‘Black lives matter’ at the gas station and then we heard, boom, boom, and I told my friend, ‘That’s not fireworks,’” 19-year-old protester Devin Scott told the Chicago Tribune. “And then this guy with this huge gun runs by us in the middle of the street and people are yelling, ‘He shot someone! He shot someone!’ And everyone is trying to fight the guy, chasing him, and then he started shooting again.”

Scott said he cradled a victim in his arms, and a woman started performing CPR, but “I

don’t think he made it.”

According to witness accounts and video footage, police apparently let the gunman walk past them and leave the scene with a rifle over his shoulder and his hands in the air as members of the crowd were yelling for him to be arrested because he had shot people.

As for how the gunman managed to slip away, Sheriff David Beth described a chaotic, high-stress scene, with lots of radio traffic and people screaming, chanting and running — conditions he said can cause “tunnel vision” among law officers.

Rittenhouse was assigned a public defender in Illinois for a hearing Friday on his transfer to Wisconsin. The public defender’s office had no comment. Under Wisconsin law, anyone 17 or older is treated as an adult in the criminal justice system.

Much of Rittenhouse’s Facebook page is devoted to praising law enforcement, with references to Blue Lives

Matter, a movement that supports police. He also can be seen holding an assault rifle.

In a photograph posted by his mother, he is wearing what appears to be a blue law enforcement uniform as well as the kind of brimmed hat that state troopers wear.

The sheriff told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that militia members or armed vigilantes had been patrolling Kenosha’s streets in recent nights, but he did not know if the gunman was among them. However, video taken before the shooting shows police tossing bottled water from an armored vehicle to what appear to be armed civilians walking the streets. And one of them appears to be the gunman.

“We appreciate you being here,” an officer is heard saying to the group over a loudspeaker.

Before the shooting, the conservative website The Daily Caller conducted a video interview with the suspected gunman in front of a board-

ed-up business.

“So people are getting injured, and our job is to protect this business,” the young man said.

“And part of my job is to also help people. If there is somebody hurt, I’m running into harm’s way. That’s why I have my rifle — because I can protect myself, obviously. But I also have my med kit.”

Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, who is Black, said in an interview with the news program “Democracy Now!” that the shootings were not surprising and white militias have been ignored for too long.

“How many times across this country do you see armed gunmen, protesting, walking into state Capitols, and everybody just thinks it’s OK?” Barnes said.

“People treat that like it’s some kind of normal activity that people are walking around with assault rifles.”

In Wisconsin, it is legal for people 18 and over to openly carry a gun without a license.

Witness accounts and video indicate the gunman first shot someone at a car lot just before midnight, then jogged away, fell in the street, and opened fire again as members of the crowd closed in on him.

A witness, Julio Rosas, 24, said that when the gunman stumbled, “two people jumped onto him and there was a struggle for control of his rifle.

At that point during the struggle, he just began to fire multiple rounds, and that dispersed people near him.”

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — NBA players didn’t come to Disney solely for a restart. They wanted social reform.

The Milwaukee Bucks showed how far they’re willing to go to get it by opting not to play in their playoff game Wednesday. Two more games were postponed later

in the day, the second time this season NBA basketball came to an immediate halt.

Other sports followed, just as they did in March when the season was suspended four months because of the coronavirus pandemic.

This time, the players will decide how long the stoppage lasts.

“The biggest thing that we all understand is if we’re not playing, what are we doing?

MLB: Kansas City Royals

What are we doing to show and to help what’s going on outside this bubble?” Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams said, shortly before the Bucks were scheduled to tip off their game against the Orlando Magic.

Instead, the Bucks players remained in the locker room, finally emerging hours later to read a statement demanding action from lawmakers and encouraging voting by

citizens.

They changed the narrative across the entire sports landscape, putting the focus squarely on social justice reform in protest of the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, while three of his children in his car looked on.

Late collapse dooms KC ST. LOUIS (AP) — Kolten Wong drew a bases-loaded walk to cap off a four-run rally in the ninth inning that lifted the St. Louis Cardinals over the Kansas City Royals 6-5 on Wednesday night.

Tyler O’Neill tied the game at 5 with a two-out, two-run single with the bases loaded off the glove of third baseman Maikel Franco.

Wong coaxed a five-pitch walk off Randy Rosario (01).

“Amazing at-bats by everybody,” Wong said. “”A true team win.”

Alex Reyes (1-0) got the victory.

Ryan McBroom and Cam Gallagher homered for Kansas City, which has lost 13 of its last 17 to its cross-state rival.

St. Louis outfielder Dexter Fowler and pitcher Jack Flaherty opted to sit out the game in solidarity with oth-

er players around the league in protest of the shooting in Kenosha, Wiscoinsin.

Jacob Blake, a Black man, was shot multiple times by police Sunday. Three major league games were postponed Wednesday in decisions driven by players.

Fowler was originally in the starting lineup, but decided not to play right before the game. Team management issued a statement in support of both players.

“It doesn’t matter what color your skin is, we’re going to back you up regardless,” Wong said. “In the end this is bigger than baseball.

A lot of things are happening now. It’s not pretty. We love those guys, we have their backs.”

St. Louis manager Mike Shildt said the entire team was behind the pair.

“The group decided to play,” Shildt said. “(But) we See ROYALS | Page B6

Chiefs defense gets tough test — its own offense

By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Andy Reid always has been an offensive-minded coach, preferring to draw up plays on the beach near his California home, or on a white board in training camp, or even on a napkin during dinner, over trying to figure out how to stop someone.

Reid leaves most of that to Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.

And does Spags ever have his job cut out for him.

During this most atypical of training camps, when a slow ramp-up replaced any preseason games, the Chiefs have found themselves going first-team offense against first-team defense quite a bit.

The result? Spagnuolo and Co. are forced to get ready for the opener Sept. 10 against Houston while facing one of the most dynamic offenses in the NFL, which in turn is trying to shred the Chiefs defense as Patrick Mahomes and the rest of them are fine-tuning themselves.

“Day-in and day-out we're

competing with one of the best offenses in the league,” Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones said. “When we're able to go out there and compete with those guys, the sky's the limit. If we can limit that offense — they can score at any point in the game. Competing with those guys is elevating our defense.”

It's a defense that, especially down the stretch, was quietly among the best in the league last season.

Had you been familiar with the Belfor organization which co-produces “Hearts of Heroes,” before you started the show?

No ... which is strange, because they’re based in Michigan (where Zee grew up and also worked in the early years of her career). I had definitely seen them in disaster situations and post-disasters, but I’d never really put it together. That wasn’t a part of my storytelling, the rehabilitation of buildings and homes, but that’s what they do so well.

Also among your extra duties, you’re now the host of the ABC News Live series “It’s Not Too Late,” revolving around environmental concerns. What prompted you to launch that?

As much as I am fighting for the 30 seconds on “GMA,” which is very important because we can get out the (weather) headlines, I was missing the climate and environment part. That is a huge part of my responsibilities as a scientist and a journalist, and “It’s Not Too Late” allows me that time.

Before COVID-19 happened, I had some big plans. I’d been thinking about a climate unit and things didn’t happen, so I just said, “OK. I think we’re ready. I’m just doing to start small. And by that, I mean a six-to-eight-minute segment each week that I write every word of. I knew it would be a lot of work, but the beauty of it is that I find topics most people have never heard of and put a spotlight on them, hopefully in a timely manner.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Deadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; woman found breathing at funeral home DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A young woman was discovered to be alive after she had been declared dead and taken to a Detroit funeral home, officials said Monday.

Paramedics tried to revive the 20-yearold woman for 30 minutes Sunday and consulted a emergency room doctor, the Southfield Fire Department said.

The doctor â&#x20AC;&#x153;pronounced the patient deceased based upon medical information providedâ&#x20AC;? from the scene, the department said.

The department subsequently got approval from the Oakland County medical examinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office to release the body to the family, it said.

But then came a startling discovery at the James H. Cole funeral home: The woman was still alive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our staff con-

firmed she was breathingâ&#x20AC;? and called a Detroit emergency medical crew, the funeral home said in a written statement.

The woman was taken to a hospital.

Her mother said the bizarre events left her searching for words to express her feelings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My heart is so heavy. Someone pronounced my child dead, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even dead,â&#x20AC;? the mother told WDIVTV, which didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t identify her by name.

There was no official information on the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition Monday. Authorities havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t released her name. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it,â&#x20AC;? said Dave Fornell, deputy commissioner of the Detroit fire department, whose first responders were called to the funeral home.

Niece doesn’t know her true genetic lineage Dear Carolyn: Both my brother and his wife were unable to have children, so they conceived in vitro using both a donated sperm and egg, though my sister-in-law carried my niece and gave birth to her. She is now a young teenager.

My niece has no idea she is not biologically related to any of us.

They had originally planned to tell her when she was 8, but through the years my brother and sister-inlaw have had serious problems, including alcohol abuse and medical issues, so the issue of telling my niece was left alone.

There are many people who know, including friends, family, coworkers, etc. My best estimate is 50. I know it’s not my place to tell her, but I am afraid she will find out and become distraught or develop horrible feelings of betrayal. She already has fought serious emotional issues because of her parents’ actions, and I’m not sure how well

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax

she will handle it, even coming from her parents.

My brother has been sober for a year, but they can’t come up with a plan to tell her, and the longer they wait the more hesitant they become. I’m not sure what I can do, but it makes me anxious.

Even my children are asking when their cousin will be told.

Any advice?

— Nervous Aunt Nervous Aunt: Alienation, secrets, adolescence, alcohol — it could be the setup for a “What could possibly go wrong?” joke if it weren’t so achingly real.

But here’s the thing.

Everything wrong with this scenario has already happened.

Your niece is old enough and has been

for a while to know a secret about herself that everyone knows but her. Everyone.

So it’s already too late.

So the main risk in your not intervening is that she will find out . . . too late-er?

It will be worse if she finds out from someone other than her parents, yes. But this is common knowledge, meaning the parents most certainly have it. Frustrating, but boundaries often are.

And while the magnitude of her potential sense of betrayal probably also grows with each passing year she goes untold — and the more years she has to look back upon as fraudulent when she finally finds out — that’s also information already at your brother’s and his wife’s disposal.

Plus, any improvement in the outcome from her finding out next week instead of next year would be, arguably, marginal at this point.

What might cause loss of balance?

Dear Dr. Roach: I am an 88-year-old man losing my balance. Can you explain what might be causing this? — S.C. Answer: Although the primary organs of balance are the semicircular canals in the middle ear, many systems have to work properly in order to keep one’s balance. The eyes need to tell us where we are in space — balancing with eyes closed is much harder. Proprioception is the sensation of where your body parts are. Without that, balance is a great challenge. Motor control and coordination require strength and smooth movement.

Many parts of the central nervous system, peripheral nerves and even muscle and joint diseases can keep us from making the small adjustments we need for that smooth movement and even for staying in place.

Medications are an underrecognized source of balance problems. A long, careful look at medication lists can sometimes reveal medications that are more likely to cause harm than good.

Solving balance problems involves finding the part that’s not working properly, but more often balance problems represent several systems not working prop-

erly — especially for those in their 80s and older. Treatment starts with strengthening and balance exercises.

A thorough evaluation by your regular doctor, sometimes with the help of experts including neurologists, and joint and eye specialists, is the place to begin. Because loss of balance can lead to falls, and because falls often lead to disability, searching for causes of balance problems and treating them promptly can prevent catastrophe.

Tai chi has been proven a useful way of improving muscle coordination, balance and strength.

So please try to do the one thing that probably seems hardest right now: Let go.

Lean hard on the reality that it’s not your household, not your secret, not your child.

Counsel your children accordingly: “I know it’s heavy to know this.

But it’s their family’s business. Our only job is to love her and stay out of it.”

Except for this: Any and every time your brother brings it up to you — ergo, invites comment — urge them to consult with a therapist and get this done.

A session or three.

They can get names from their (or any local) fertility clinic.

It’s all the “plan” they need.

If your niece is angry at all of you upon finding out, own it: “I love you, and I’m sorry I let you down.” I, not we — times 50, I hope.

Boycott: Players elect to sit out action Continued from B1

MLS and tennis sat out their competitions Wednesday night, NBA players and coaches met for nearly three hours in a Disney hotel to determine next steps, including whether the season should continue. They did not come to a consensus, a person with knowledge of the meeting told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because details weren’t revealed publicly.

The NBA’s board of governors will meet this morning and likely address whether the playoff games scheduled for that day will be played.

The Western & Southern Open won’t be, with the U.S. Tennis Association, along with the ATP and WTA Tours, announcing play would be paused after two-time Grand Slam women’s champion Naomi Osaka had already said she wouldn’t play her semifinal match.

“I don’t expect anything drastic to happen with me not playing, but if I can get a conversation started in a majority white sport I consider that a step in the right direction,” Osaka tweeted. “Watching the continued genocide of Black people at the hand

of the police is honestly making me sick to my stomach.”

More lost NBA games would be another punishing financial blow in a season in which the league was already headed to losses of hundreds of million of dollars, potentially leading to ramifications that would be felt in future years.

Before coming to Disney, many NBA players wrestled for weeks about whether it was even right to play, fearing that a return to games would take attention off the deaths of, among others, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd in recent months.

They ultimately decided coming to the bubble and playing televised games would give them the largest platform, though now at least some are wondering if that’s still true. Toronto coach Nick Nurse said he’s heard some players on his team say they were thinking about going home.

Clippers coach Doc Rivers hopes they won’t.

His players considered boycotting a playoff game in 2014 after audio tapes featuring former owner Donald Sterling were revealed. He said

this time is different because it’s the whole league, rather than one team, weighing the decision.

“I think every team has to decide what they want to do and honestly I hope everyone plays,” Rivers said. “I just think showing the excellence in doing your job, there’s nothing wrong with that, but also fighting for what’s right is important as well.”

It certainly is for the Bucks, who play about 40 miles from Kenosha.

Sterling Brown, one of the players to read the statement, has a federal lawsuit pending against the city of Milwaukee alleging he was targeted because he was Black and that his civil rights were violated in January 2018 when officers used a stun gun on him after a parking violation.

And it is for the Raptors, whose team president, Masai Ujiri, had an altercation with an Oracle Arena security guard after Game 6 of last year’s NBA Finals.

A video of it released recently appears to show an Alameda County sheriff ’s deputy initially shoved Ujiri, who is Black, twice.

They are scheduled to

IT PROBABLY starts with actions like the Bucks took. Rivers and LeBron James had passionately described the emotions the NBA community felt after seeing the video of Blake’s shooting.

But it’s going to take more than players sitting out NBA games.

“It’s going to take all our institutions to stand up for our values,” former President Barack Obama tweeted, commending the NBA and WNBA players while posting a link to Rivers’ comments from earlier this week.

Chiefs: Defense seeks improvement Continued from B1

thing to come together under Spagnuolo, who had taken over after defensive coordinator Bob Sutton was fired for fielding one of the worst defenses in the NFL. He switched from the 3-4 base defense that the Chiefs had used since Reid’s arrival and implemented a 4-3 defense that required some serious changes.

There were personnel changes. There were changes in position.

But more than anything else, there was a dramatic change in mentality, thanks in part to safety Tyrann Mathieu and defensive end Frank Clark bringing a fresh new edge.

The Chiefs wound up finishing seventh in the league in scoring defense, the only metric that really matters, and were a mere two field goals away from the top five. They held the Broncos and Bears without a touchdown down the stretch, when the Chiefs ripped off six straight wins to secure the No. 2 seed in the playoffs.

And when they gave up early points against the Texans and Titans in the playoffs, they locked down quickly enough to allow their offense to overcome the deficit.

Ditto in the Super Bowl, when the Chiefs rallied for a 31-20 victory over the 49ers for their first title in 50 years.

“I have this feeling we picked up right where we left off after the Super Bowl, and we’re hit-

ting on all cylinders and playing good defense,” Chiefs safety Dan Sorensen said. “I think the time we’ve had, this ramp-up period plus training camp, we are really dialed in on defense.

The coaches know the personnel. We know the scheme.”

That doesn’t mean the Chiefs aren’t without a few questions as the regular season approaches.

open the second round Thursday against Boston, but Nurse said his players were already having discussions about not playing.

“Boycotting the game has come up for them and again, as a way to try to demand a little more action and I think that’s really what they want,” Nurse said.

“I think there’s enough attention and there’s not quite enough action and I think that’s what I can sense from the discussion. Their disappointment of man, how can we get something to change?”

Bashaud Breeland is suspended for the first four games for off-field issues and run-stuffing defensive tackle Mike Pennel is out for the first two games for his own transgressions.

Whomever earns the chance to replace them during camp will have done so against one of the NFL’s best offenses.

“You’ve got a lot of dynamic guys over there,” Jones said. “It mentally prepares you to be ready. It gets you in shape. Andy Reid runs one of the toughest training camps in the league, and going against this offense, it forces you to get in shape and it forces you to compete.”

Notes: WR Tyreek Hill (hamstring) injury did stretching and conditioning in full pads Wednesday as the Chiefs resumed workouts after a day off.

But the speedy All-Pro sat out the team drills, instead spending time with the training staff off to the side. ... FS Armani Watts (ill) and WR Maurice Ffrench ((knee) returned to practice. ... OL Kelechi Osemele (shoulder) remained out of practice.

The veteran’s season ended last year because of a shoulder injury with the Jets.
