Riley County has 73 new positive cases and 352 additional recoveries since Monday’s report.&nbsp;The large number of recoveries is partly due to the increased availability of contact tracing staff to conduct follow-up interviews. With fewer new cases to call, contact tracing staff have been able to reach out to existing patients in order to confirm recovery. Most of the recovered patients in today’s report were first diagnosed in mid-to-late August.&nbsp;Patients are considered recovered when they meet the following criteria outlined by the CDC:

*Loss of taste and smell may persist for weeks or months after recovery and need not delay the end of isolation.

Ascension Via Christi Hospital in Manhattan is caring for 2 positive patients at this time. These patients have symptoms severe enough to require hospitalization.

Anyone who has symptoms, is a close contact of a positive patient, or would like information about how to get tested should contact their health care provider or call the Riley County Screening Line at 785-323-6400. The Screening Line is staffed by nurses and is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Riley County health releases a COVID-19 update

DICKINSON COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Tennessee man in connection to multiple storage unit burglaries in Junction City and Abilene.

On Tuesday, officers were dispatched to the 1400 block of North Buckeye Avenue for the report of suspicious activity, according to Abilene Assistant Chief of Police Jason Wilkins.

A citizen had observed a suspicious man at a storage unit facility in the 300 block of Northeast 14th Street.

Officers learned that the man fled on foot prior to their arrival, but were able to locate Joshua Patrick, 22, of Dickson, Tennessee in the 2000 block of North Buckeye Avenue.

Officers discovered a total of nine storage units located on Northeast 14th Street that had been broken into, however, they were able to determine that no property had been taken from the units, according to Wilkins.

As a result of the investigation, police booked Patrick into the Dickinson County Jail on requested charges that include multiple counts of burglary and criminal damage to property.

Patrick is also believed to be involved in multiple storage unit burglaries in Junction City, according to Wilkins.

Grant funding totaling $918,132 has recently been awarded to the Flint Hills Regional Council. The Office of Economic Adjustment awarded $518,246 to assist in protecting and preserving Fort Riley. The Council also received EDA Cares Act Funding totaling $399,886.

OEA funding will be used to support projects including development of a military installation resiliency plan, wind turbine legislation&nbsp; for military installations, unmanned aircraft system corridor study implementation, Junction City housing conditions assessment, Green Valley Transportation study plus other outreach and educational efforts. This is an 18-month award.

The EDA Cares Act money can assist with regional economic recovery and resiliency efforts over the next two years. They will range from development of a regional economic recovery and resiliency plan to partnering with entities to provide business recovery training and guidance.

The Council is seeking the public's help to obtain match funding to help meet basic operational expenses. The use of grant funding is significantly restricted and unrestricted funding is required to meet basic operational expenses.

This year&nbsp; the Council will be participating in both the Wamego Community Foundation Match Day on Oct. 8 and the Geary Community Match Day on Oct. 13 in an effort to enhance their ability to use donations for match dollars.

Halloween is just around the corner – what do I need to know?

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) recommends that instead of hosting Halloween parties or traditional trick-or-treat or “trunk-or-treat” events this year, that people celebrate in other, physical-distance ways. They provide ideas such as:

· Car parades (drive through areas with Halloween displays, drive-in events with decorated vehicles; pick-up non-perishable, pre-packaged treats);

· Halloween movie nights at outdoor theaters;

· Dress up homes and yards with appropriate themed decorations.

Understanding that many people will still want to participate in more traditional ways; KDHE endorses personal protection measures to assure the safety of yourself and others. These are steps that can be taken however you decide to celebrate:

· Protective face coverings. Correctly wearing a cloth face covering.

· Practice physical distancing. Maintain at least 6 feet distance between yourself and other non-household members.

· Avoid confined spaces. If you cannot maintain 6 feet distance, do not go there.

· Frequently wash hands. Wash with warm soap and water for at least 20 seconds; or use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

Most importantly, please respect the health and safety of others. HAND out candy to trick-or-treaters, do not provide a communal “grab bowl”; or provide individual goodie bags for the children to pick-up. Keep in mind other safety measures at Halloween: stay in well-lit areas, only visit homes with their porch lights on, wear bright or reflective costumes, and stay with an adult.

Petrescu to lead graduate education at Kansas State University

Manhattan–&nbsp;<a href="https://rebornclothing.co/about/" target="_blank">Reborn Clothing Co.</a>&nbsp;has teamed up&nbsp;with Kansas State University Athletics to transform athletic uniforms and surplus, outdated or otherwise abandoned textile materials into officially licensed usable products such as dog beds, throw pillows and duffel bags. These eco-friendly collegiate products are now available for purchase&nbsp;<a href="https://kstatesuperstore.com/search?q=reborn" target="_blank">online</a>&nbsp;and at the K-State Super Store, the official retailer of Kansas State University Athletics featuring officially licensed fan apparel and souvenirs, located at&nbsp;519 McCall Rd, Manhattan, KS 66502.&nbsp;

The Reborn products offered to K-State fans include traditional game day products such as koozies, mascot plushes and throw blankets with an environmentally-friendly twist and a textile waste solution that hasn’t been seen at K-State until now. This type of large-scale university upcycling venture is the first of its kind and a model Reborn is continually&nbsp;growing nationally with additional schools and businesses.

“We are so excited for the opportunity to offer a collection such as Reborn this Fall. It is unlike anything we have featured before and is such a novel idea for the collegiate retail industry—refurbishing existing, unsold licensed goods or uniforms,” said Kyra Dreiling, Director of Retail Operations at The K-State Super Store.

The upcycled products make use of surplus K-State items, including branded t-shirts and basketball uniforms, that would otherwise go to waste.&nbsp;

“The K-State Super Store team recognizes a growing global concern regarding fabric waste, and our shop in Manhattan, KS, is looking for ways to do our part in lessening the fabric footprint,” said Dreiling. “A big thanks to K-State Athletics for supplying the initial fabric from unused uniforms. We can now begin looking for new ways to make a larger impact and share these opportunities with the Wildcat community.”

Since 2017, it has been Reborn’s mission is to transform and repurpose surplus branded apparel and quality textile waste into enduring products for every lifestyle.

“As with many university departments around the country, there is inevitable waste when seasons, events, or outdated uniforms come to an end,” stated Reborn Founder and CEO Emily Neville. “Reborn’s mission is to help reduce this waste by creating new products and accessories, and we are very excited about the opportunities K-State has given us to give new life to much of their apparel.”

Reborn Clothing Co. has partnered with universities across the country to create products ranging from koozies to earrings to dog beds. Schools include Duke University, the University of Connecticut, Clemson University, University of Pittsburgh, and the University of Virginia to name a few.
