4 Greeley County Republican • Tribune, Kansas • Wednesday, July 8, 2020

Thanks to all who donated generously in support of the Fourth of July fireworks show and to Don Walter for setting off the display and to the Greeley County Volunteer Fire Department for securing the area and ensuring that sparks didn’t create fires. I enjoyed watching the show from the football field, after serving ice cream to the area residents who watched the display from there.

The 2020 Fair is going to be an unusual fair experience, without a doubt. I encourage you to make the most of it, to support our 4H kids, their animals and projects, and the 4H kitchen, and to take part in the activities and events that are occurring. I appreciate all the work Todd Schmidt, Kathy Nolan,

Josey Schmidt, the Greeley County Fair Board, and the Greeley County Extension Council are doing to ensure that as much of the fair as possible will continue.

As a member of the carnival board, we were deeply saddened to cancel this year’s event. We know how much our patrons enjoy it and how much the community looks forward to it. Find a letter from the carnival board elsewhere in the paper that explains some of the factors that went into making this decision.

Be sure to stop by or call the office if we can be of assistance. Our office hours are 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. Monday – Friday or we can be reached by phone at (620) 376-2548.

Independence DayEvery Kansan and every

American celebrates the Fourth of July in their own special way – whether that is with fireworks, family barbeques or visiting our nation’s monuments and memorials.

Independence Day is a time to honor the sacrifices made in the name of freedom and to come together as Americans to commemorate our nation’s founding by renewing our commitment to further our nation’s pledge and form a more perfect union. I also ask that you take time to reflect and thank our veterans as well as the current generation in the Armed Forces who continue to bravely defend our freedoms. It is because of these sacrifices that America is still the land of opportunity and the greatest nation on Earth.

USMCA Goes Into Effect, Provides Certainty for Farmers

On Wednesday, the United S ta t e s -Mex ico -Canada Agreement (USMCA) went into effect. This is an important milestone for Kansas and our country. Canada and Mexico are Kansas’ two largest export markets, accounting for over one-third of exports from our state. This agreement will provide certainty and expand export opportunities for Kansas farmers, ranchers and manufacturers and will modernize our trading relationship with Canada and Mexico to reflect the 21st-century economy. I am pleased the Trump Administration negotiated USMCA, and I will continue to work to improve our nation’s trading relationship with countries around the world.

Questioning Officials on Student-Athlete Name, Image and Likeness

This week, I participated in a Senate Commerce Committee hearing that examined student-athlete compensation and the modernization of rules related to a student athlete’s name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights. The NCAA’s rules around NIL have not kept pace with an evolving world and now is the time to bring these rules in line with the modern student-athlete experience. While I believe the NCAA is making progress, there is more work to be done, and many questions remain unanswered surrounding this issue. I’m pleased to have had the opportunity to ask some of them during this hearing.

As Chairman of the U.S. Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Manufacturing, Trade and Consumer Protection, with jurisdiction over the NCAA and amateur athletics, I have been working with my colleagues to preserve the collegiate model that has allowed so many young men and women to leverage their athletic ability into an education. I remain committed to finding a solution that will provide student-athletes with the equity they deserve while also preserving college sports.

Extending the Paycheck Protection Program

On Tuesday, the Senate voted to extend the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) through August 8. Applications for the program were originally scheduled to end on June 30 and there are approximately $130 billion in funds still available through lenders.
