“They were taking it basically out of our hands before we could get it on the shelves,” she said.

SPK has added five people to staff over the past week.

Mize’s and Hired Man’s have not added additional staff, but the staff members they do have are putting in more hours. Some of those employees are high school students who are out of class and have been able to put in additional time.

Jenny Osner, who co-owns Hired Man’s with her husband, Clint, said they saw buying habits start to change in the middle of last week.

“We’re just trying to survive and keep things on the shelves,” she said. Osner is spending a lot of her time just trying to order the right products and in the right amounts.

Eggs, milk, bread and toilet paper are the items that are going most quickly. Hired Man’s received 100 packages of toilet paper on Friday

Sedgwick County is putting a stay-at-home order in effect.

The announcement came in a Tuesday morning briefing delivered online. The message came from Sedgwick County Commission Chair Pete Meitzner.

The stay-at-home directive became official under the order of Dr. Garold Minns, Sedgwick County’s Chief Health Officer. On Monday, the county commission voted to recommend Minns put in place a stay-at-home order similar to what is now in effect in the Kansas City area, which has been the epicenter for the COVID-19 outbreak in Kansas. Sedgwick County’s order is modeled on the one adopted by Johnson County, which includes Overland Park and Olathe.

County manager Tom Stolz said Sedgwick County now has four confirmed cases of COVID-19. The last two are a man under the age of 60 and a woman under the age of 60. Both are in isolation at home, neither required hospitalization, and neither had traveled to other areas. Stolz stressed the need for good hygiene, including frequent hand washing and social distancing. He also stressed the seriousness of the situation.

Sedgwick County is now one of seven counties in Kansas with stayat-home orders, joining Johnson, Wyandotte, Douglas, Leavenworth, Miami and Doniphan counties.

State health officials expect the number of cases in Kansas to be between 300 and 400 a week from now.

Odds and Ends If you are out of TP, don’t use T-shirts While a coronavirus-inspired run on toilet paper is forcing some people to improvise, it is important to remember that sewer pipes and septic systems are not designed to handled substitutes.

In Redding, Calif., one sewer customer decided to use shredded T-shirts in place of toilet paper. That did not go down well (pun intended).

Authorities said the rags snagged on pumps at a sewage lift station. Quick action by city employees just prevented a dangerous sewage spill.

Many municipalities also advise that wet wipes are not flushable, regardless of how they might be marketed.

Locally-owned groceries see uptick in business

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

While many businesses are seeing a slow down or have even shut their doors, our locally-owned small-town grocery stores are as busy as they have been in years.

SPK in Cheney, Mize’s Thriftway in Clearwater, and Hired Man’s Grocery and Grill in Conway Springs have seen an influx of shoppers, and in the case of SPK and Mize’s, a good number of those shoppers are coming from Wichita and other areas.

All the stores are working hard to keep up with demand, even as they struggle to keep in stock items like toilet paper, cleaning wipes, hand sanitizer and bread.

Kathy Pauly, a manager at SPK, said they began seeing business increase on March 12.

She said it did not take long for a shipment of toilet paper that arrived last Friday morning to disappear.

Continuing education

Districts working on plans to teach students

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

It was news that stunned the state.

Gov. Laura Kelly announced on March 17 that students would not be returning to their classes for normal education for the rest of this school year. That left local school officials scrambling to create new formats for teaching.

As reported in last week’s Times-Sentinel and online at tsnews.com, local school districts immediately began working their continuing education plans. They were expecting further guidance last week from the Kansas State Department of Education, and planned to use this week to formulate their plans with a goal of starting to teach again the week of March 30.

This story reflects the most recent information available before going to press on Tuesday, March 24. District leaders were just beginning their work on their continuous learning plans, so at press time there was no new information to report.

Updates will be posted on our website.

Here’s a look at information from each school district.

USD 261 – Haysville Four locations are now available across the Haysville School District for students to pick up meals. Service began on Wednesday.

Meals will be available Monday, Wednesday and Friday from

11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Students will be able to pick up enough meals to cover breakfast and lunch until the next pick-up.

The serving locations are at Campus High School, 2100 W. 55th St. S.; Haysville Middle School, 900 W. Grand Ave.; Nelson Elementary, 245 N. Delos; and Oatville Elementary, 4335 S. Hoover. Walk-ups are welcome.

If you are arriving by car, please stay in your car. Meals will be delivered to you.

For more information, visit the food service page on the district website at www.usd261. com/Foods/index.php#coronavirus.

The USD 261 board of education will hold a special meeting at 7 p.m. this Thursday. The meeting will take place online via Zoom. Connection information is available on the district website at www.usd261.com under the “District” tab.

USD 264 – Clearwater Schools in Clearwater began offering free breakfast and lunch on Monday of this week for all children ages 1-18. Meals may be picked up at the dock behind Clearwater Intermediate-Middle School. Drivers should enter the south parking lot (the stadium parking lot of Fourth Ave.), and follow the drive to the dock behind the school.

Meals may be picked up each Monday and Wednesday, and are available from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. both days.

Four meals will be prepared on Monday, including lunch for

Monday and Tuesday and breakfast for Tuesday and Wednesday.

Five meals will be prepared on Wednesday, with three lunches and two breakfasts.

More updates are expected. In an online statement, the district said it does not expect to deliver any continuing education instruction to students before Monday, March 30.

USD 265 – Goddard Goddard’s schools started offering free packaged meals for all children ages 1-18 on Tuesday.

The meals will be available from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Children must be present to receive the meals, according to federal guidelines. Children will get one lunch for that day and a breakfast for the following day. There are no eligibility requirements.

The walk-up and drive-up locations are at Eisenhower High School, Oak Street Elementary and near the Brentwood Apartments at 600 S. Main in Goddard.

School principals are working on a process and timeline for students to pick up personal belongings and medications from schools. This should happen next week.

It is the district’s intention to have graduation ceremonies of some kind for high school seniors. Those plans will be formulated in the coming weeks.

USD 267 – Renwick On Monday, March 30, Renwick schools including Garden Plain will begin offering pickup and delivery of breakfast and

The rest of the school year: Short days and limited screen time

By Nomin Ujiyediin Kansas News Service

With public and private school buildings closed until August, education officials want students to limit their screen time and spend less than three hours a day learning.

A report released last week directs districts to spend five days assessing students’ technology needs, building lesson plans and telling parents what to expect. Districts are required to submit a plan to the state for doing so by early April.

On March 17, Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly ordered all schools in the state closed until the start of the next academic year to stem the spread of COVID-19.

The report says that teachers, parents and students will need to be flexible and adjust to a new style of instruction. And it emphasizes that screen time and learning often aren’t that same thing.

“Continuous learning is learning any time, anywhere,” said Dyane Smokorowski, an Andover teacher and a member of the task force that created the report over three days.

“That can be done outside, that can be done in your living room, that can be

done on a front porch.”

Schools will no longer be expected to administer standardized tests. In fact, they won’t be able to because federal guidelines say they can’t be administered remotely.

“We are not going to be doing state assessments unless something would change dramatically in (Kelly’s school-closing) executive order,” said education commissioner Randy Watson. “It would be impossible for it to be done … from a confidentiality perspective.”

Proms and graduations will be canceled unless they meet county health departments for group gatherings.

Districts may allow students to return to school to pick up belongings, but only in small groups.

Teachers may also meet in school buildings to plan lessons or meet with families.

Other recommendations in the report include: • Limiting daily instruction time, based on the child’s age level. The times range from 30 minutes a

day for pre-K students, up to three hours for sixth through 12th grade students.

• Teachers having designated online office hours and using screen sharing and recording to teach lessons.

• Schools sending devices home with students if they are available, checking with local internet service providers about access, and encouraging families to use mobile devices as hotspots.

• Teachers using online platforms to collect student work and assess progress.

• Districts providing lists of resources for food, transportation, clothing and other needs to parents.

• Learning through a combination of videos, handouts, writing and recreation time.

lunch. Meals will be available each Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and are free.

Monday’s delivery will include Monday lunch, Tuesday breakfast and Tuesday lunch, and Wednesday’s delivery will include food for Wednesday and Thursday.

For students on a bus route, delivery will be made each day to your bus stop. Otherwise, delivery will be available three days a week at 11:30 a.m. in the parking lots of district schools.

Sign-up must be done by noon Thursday, March 26, to gauge interest. The survey is available at https://forms.gle/3eD5UgSTBQ471rRq8. Once the survey is completed, weekly sign-up sheets will be sent to families.

USD 268 – Cheney Information was emailed to parents on Friday and shared on the district website.

“The target and goalposts seem to be moving by the hour in the state and the nation. It is certainly true for education in our community. Leadership has been working non-stop creating a learning plan to the best of our ability with the resources at our disposal. During these unprecedented times, it is the District’s intent to provide families with factual information regarding our plans to meet the needs of our students during the building closure,” district officials wrote.

They said it was their plan to continue offering meal service to students during the closure. That plan is still being finalized.

The district also intends to find a way to honor the class of 2020. What that plan will look like is unknown.

“At this time, we do not know a date, time, or location as this will be contingent on guidance from the CDC, KDHE, and the Sedgwick County Health Department,” officials wrote.

St. Joseph Catholic School The Catholic school located in Ost also is offering free lunches, and youth do not need to be students at the school. Lunch delivery began on Monday of this week.

“Please encourage your friends and neighbors,” the school said in a Facebook post.

Lunches are being offered at St. Joseph Catholic School in Ost, as well as at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Andale and Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Colwich. Deliveries at St. Joe Ost will be at back west kitchen door daily from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

In Andale and Colwich, look for the St. Joseph Catholic Ost bus.

Delivery times are 11-11:30 a.m. in Andale, and 12-12:30 p.m. in Colwich.

Families must order a lunch by 9 a.m. daily. Email lbunch@ sjost.com.

The school noted it is doing the best it can to continue employment and wages for employees. Participation in the lunch program helps accomplish that goal.

While children do not need to attend St. Joseph, they do need to be present at pick-up.

News Briefs EARP in effect for drivers On Tuesday, Sedgwick County Sheriff Jeff Easter said that the county’s Emergency Accident Reporting Plan (EARP) is in effect until further notice.

This is the same protocol used during severe winter weather.

If you are in a non-injury accident and the vehicles are drivable, and no drugs or alcohol are involved, then EARP applies.

Drivers are to exchange names and insurance information.

Then, you should download the reporting form from the sheriff ’s website at www.sedgwickcounty.org/sheriff. Fill out the form and send it in. Forms can be emailed to sheriffcasedesk@sedgwick.gov, mail them to Sheriff Case Desk, 141 W. Elm, Wichita, KS 67203, or fax 316-3837005.

In addition, deputies will be taking certain non-emergency reports by phone.

A supervisor can make a determination to send a deputy on a dispatched call.

The fair *may* go on

The Sedgwick County Fair is a few months away, but organizers are already thinking about how the COVID-19 outbreak and efforts to curtail the disease may impact the 2020 Fair.

Fair Association president Bret Albers said in a Monday email that organizers are paying close attention to the current health situation.

“At this time we are in a wait and see mode and will be evaluating things week by week,” Albers said.

For the time being, volunteers and groups that help organize the fair are being instructed to continue moving forward with plans. However, Albers advised that they do not buy or rent anything or make commitments to do so.

“We will try to send out updates as things unfold and we get closer to summer,” Albers wrote.

Right now, the Sedgwick County Fair is scheduled to take place July 8-11 in Cheney.

Haysville council adapts to pandemic

By Nancy D. Borst The Times-Sentinel

HAYSVILLE – The Haysville City Council meeting looked decidedly different Monday night, with the mayor and seven council members present sitting at least six feet apart in the room. Typically, city staff fill another table but on Monday, chief administrative officer Will Black was the only staff member present and he handled duties normally done by the city clerk’s staff.

Various council members shared information about changes in the community in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The city’s library is

closed; due dates will be extended for all checked out materials and fines will be waived. The activity center and its programs also are closed.

The senior center is closed but senior meal programs will continue. Someone also is on site to answer questions; call 529-5903.

City offices also are closed to the public but city services, including law enforcement, will continue. Citizens may access information online, by phone or fax or via the drive-through window at city hall. No utilities will be shut off during this time.

Mayor Bruce Armstrong said only essential staff are still working on site but all city employees will continue to be paid.

Council member Steve Crum noted that the school district is providing carryout meals from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the following schools: Nelson Elementary, Haysville Middle School, Oatville Elementary and Campus High School. Families are asked to bring their children – or at least one child – with them when picking up food.

Food will be provided for all school age children regardless of whether they are with adults who come to the pick-up sites.

In new business, the council approved renewal of the city’s insurance with EMC for the coming year. The council also approved sale of the old activ-

ity center property to Kirkhart Investments, LLC for $215,000.

Armstrong said the building needs extensive electrical and other repairs totaling approximately $100,000, so the city is happy with the sale. Kirkhart is buying the property as is.

The council also approved procuring the next steps in equipment for the new wastewater dewatering facility. The vendor needs a lead time of 200 days to manufacture, deliver and install each custom component.

This approval is for the emulsion polymer feed system, the conveyor system, the remote I/O panel and bonding, at a cost of $65,895 to Fournier Industries, Inc. This is a budgeted expense

to be paid out of the wastewater budget.

In other business, the council approved three ordinances that formalize decisions made at the March 9 meeting regarding event beer gardens at city venues, amending the land use map for the city, and rezoning a block so it can be used as part of Dorner Park. The council voted to table action on revisions to subdivision regulations until staff can be present to answer questions.

The council also discussed repairs needed on some recently surfaced streets that are under warranty and will be repaired by the contractors once the weather gets warmer.

Community News City councils will continue to meet GARDEN PLAIN – Even with the statewide limits on gatherings and Sedgwick County’s shelter-in-place directive, local governments are still legally bound to carry on business.

The next scheduled meeting for our area will be the Garden Plain City Council. The body will meet at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 1.

The meeting will be held online, although details were still being worked out at press time Tuesday evening. Information will be shared on the city’s website and social media, and by The Times-Sentinel.

The next scheduled meetings will be Goddard City Council on April 6, and Cheney City Council on April 9.

Goddard’s most recent city council meeting was held at City Hall with a live feed on Facebook.

Goddard City Hall has since closed down to the public, as have city halls in Cheney, Clearwater, Garden Plain and Haysville.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt has reminded all governing bodies that their meetings must remain open to the public per the Kansas Open Meetings Act. That law does not guarantee citizens a right to participate in the meeting, just a right to observe. Online broadcasts and teleconferences meet that requirement, Schmidt said.

Other upcoming city council meetings include Haysville on April 13 and Clearwater on April 14

District 2 challengers line up against O’Donnell Two candidates have filed paperwork with the Sedgwick County Election Office to challenge Sedgwick County Commissioner Michael O’Donnell for the District 2 seat.

As of Tuesday, O’Donnell had not officially filed for election but it is expected he will. The deadline for filing for the primary election is June 1.

Both challengers are Republicans and will be on the August primary ballot.

O’Donnell is a Republican, too. As of Tuesday, no Democrats were listed by the county as having filed.

The Times-Sentinel visited with both candidates on Monday. They were Kathleen E. Garrison of Haysville and Cindy Miles of Wichita.

The primary election is set for Aug. 4.

Kathleen Garrison If she wins, this would be Garrison’s first elected position.

“I’ve always had a desire to be in politics but it wasn’t the right time,” she said.

Garrison is working on her master’s degree in diplomacy and international affairs and will graduate in December.

“I don’t want it to go to waste. It’s a calling for me,” she said, adding she wants to serve locally. She lives between Haysville and Clearwater. She has a Haysville address but lives in the Clearwater School District.

She works in the U.S. Attorney’s office in Wichita, dealing with asset forfeiture. She noted that she had nothing to do with last year’s trial against O’Donnell, who faced multiple counts of wire fraud connected to campaign spending.

He was acquitted on 21 charges, and the jury was deadlocked on five other charges.

“This makes me mad. I don’t want someone like this representing me,” she

Ch. 59 NOTICE OF HEARING AND NOTICE TO CREDITORS THE STATE OF KANSAS TO ALL PERSONS CONCERNED: You are hereby notified that on March 6, 2020, a Petition was filed in this Court by Gary L. Gilchrist, petitioner herein, praying that he be appointed as Administrator without bond; and that he be granted Letters of Administration.

You are required to file your written defenses thereto on or before April 14, 2020, at 10:00 o’clock a.m., in the Sedgwick County Probate Courthouse, 1900 E. Morris, Wichita, Kansas, at which time and place said cause will be heard.

Should you fail therein, judgment and decree will be entered in due course upon the Petition.

All creditors are notified to exhibit their demands against the Estate within four (4) months from the date of the first publication of this notice, as provided by law, and if their demands are not thus exhibited, they shall be forever barred.

GARY L. GILCHRIST, Petitioner Kenneth H. Jack DAVIS & JACK, L.L.C. 2121 W. Maple Wichita, KS 67213 Attorney for Petitioner

said.

Garrison had to seek permission from the U.S. Attorney’s office to run for the county commission.

Normally, government employees are banned from running for elected office. However, Garrison is a contractor and not a direct government employee. That means she is not impacted by the Hatch Act, a 1939 law that prohibits virtually all employees in the federal executive branch from engaging in some forms of political activity.

“I was very pleased, and I prayed about it. I asked God to give me some direction,” she said.

Garrison said helping small businesses is a top priority for her. She spent more than 20 years as a business owner, and believes small businesses need fewer regulations and obstacles.

“They need our support.

They make up the community,” she said. Garrison added she wants constituents to let her know what they want from her.

One thing she would like to see is the preservation of Century II. “I feel the building is worth saving because it is the heart of Wichita. I would like to see different proposals for Century II,” she said.

Homelessness is another top issue for Garrison.

“Before I worked downtown, it wasn’t in front of me,” she said. “I don’t think people should be living under bridges in Wichita, Kan.” She sees the Lord’s Diner in Wichita as a great example of local organizations working together, and wants to see more groups come together to address the situation.

“I want to prevent people from getting in the court system, not react once they’re there,” Garrison said.

She cites her broad range of experience as a strong qualification. That

includes working in both government and private industry. She believes an elected official’s temperament matters, too.

“Eighty percent of a job is getting along with others,” she said, adding she has strong skills in listening and understanding.

Garrison said she earned a degree in political science from Newman University in 2019, earning a 4.0 grade-point average as a non-traditional student.

She spent 10 years as a court reporter. She helped run a landscaping business with her ex-husband, serving many large clients.

Garrison, 52, is mother to eight children.

“I love business. I understand you have to balance things and have priorities for your money,” she said. The size of the budget does not matter.

“It’s all the same thing.

You make priorities and protect the entity.”

Cindy Miles The list of government involvement run deep for Cindy Miles, who has been a longtime community volunteer.

“I felt like I’ve made quite an impact in the community, and it was time to take a bigger step to serve in the community,” she said.

Miles has been elected as a Republican precinct committee woman in District 316. She currently serves on the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission and as an advisory board member for District 3 in the City of Wichita, where she is a resident. Her list of other board and committee service is long, including as a past board member for the Wichita Crime Commission and Wichita/ Sedgwick County Crime Stoppers.

Prevention Leadership Team and the Sedgwick County Coalition for Mental Health and Substance Abuse. Because of those experiences, she sees mental health as a top priority for local government.

“If we don’t address mental health issues, we won’t be able to affect child abuse, poverty and homeless,” she said. Mental health and substance abuse contribute hugely to those problems.

Sedgwick County is about providing services, she said, and mental health care is one of those services.

“As we’ve seen substance abuse grow, especially meth, we’ve seen other things related to that grow,” she said. Visiting with Sheriff Jeff Easter and Wichita Police Chief Gordon Ramsey, she said that 90 percent of people in jail are there for some crime related to drugs.

“Our jail is over capacity. We can’t build big enough jails or prisons to

keep up with the growth,” she said.

Miles said child abuse and neglect are growing problems, and more often than not it’s related to meth use. That in turns strains the foster care system and the court system.

“We have to come up with solutions,” she said.

Miles was born in Norman, Okla., and grew up in Tulsa. She came to Wichita more than 20 years ago when her husband, a Wichita native, accepted a job in aviation in his hometown.

Her first job locally was in the radio and TV department at Butler Community College. She then became involved in the college’s marketing department.

“That challenged me to do a lot in the community,” she said. She then became a consultant.

Four years ago, Miles founded The Incubator for Nonprofits in Kansas.

She had noticed that many nonprofit groups were

unsuccessful and need guidance. The organization helps groups launch, including instruction on how to build their boards and create bylaws, and helps them grow once luanched.

“I’m looking for gaps in the community,” she said.

In 2016, Miles became chief executive officer of the Nonprofit Chamber of Kansas. She said the group was about to shut its doors, and she has worked to rebuild the organization.

“We’ve added almost 100 members in the past year,” she said.

Miles wants to keep taxes low, and has concerns about the growth of property taxes through higher valuations. Serving as a committee precinct chairwoman has been her only political experience.

“I’m not a career politician, I’m just a community activist,” she said.

Miles, 57, is married with six children and 15 grandchildren.

Cheney Chamber names new board, officers

By Paul Rhodes The Times-Sentinel prhodes@tsnews.com

CHENEY – Members of the Cheney Chamber of Commerce have named a new board of directors for the coming year.

Those new board members are Marcia Kampling, Ryan Runnells, Greg Rosenhagen, Rosanne Woolf, Jami Viner, Danielle Young and Dusty Hague.

Now, the new board has met and selected officers from among that group.

Those officers are Ryan Runnells, president; Dusty Hague, vice president; Marcia Kampling, treasurer; and Rosanne Woolf, secretary.

The new board members were elected at the March meeting of the Chamber.

President Runnells noted that the chamber board is watching COVID-19 developments closely, and will make decisions as needed on future chamber meetings and events.

Also at last month’s meeting, members firmed up the committees that the chamber will be operating for the coming year. Those committees are Come Home for Christmas, Celebrate Cheney, the Sedgwick County Fair and Souders Museum, Main Street, and Membership.

In other business at the March meeting, chamber

members: • Heard a report on renovation of the Cheney Senior Center.

• Noted that two teachers in the local district, Laurel Thisius at the elementary school and Travis Johnson at the high school, have been named as teachers of the year and will move on to a state competition.

• Noted that four students have been offered large art scholarships at Friends University following a recent art show.

• Heard a report from the Cheney Recreation Commission, including an update on the new ball fields on the south edge of town.

• Noted that the Diamond Dawgs, a summer college baseball team, will be back for another season.

• Heard a report on the formation of a Cheney Municipal Band. Anyone who is interested in participating can contact Julia Webb or Travis Johnson.

• Noted that a cleanup day is being planned for this spring at Souders Museum.

• Noted that the Cheney Ministerial Alliance is planning an Easter Sunrise Service at Cheney United Methodist Church. That service may be subject to change due to the coronavirus.

Clearwater Chamber moves meeting

By Paul Rhodes

The Times-Sentinel prhodes@tsnews.com

CLEARWATER – Members of the Clearwater Chamber of Commerce moved their meeting last week to the board room at the USD 264 offices, since the group’s regular meeting place was off limits to the public.

Clearwater’s chamber meetings normally are held at The Village, part of the Clearwater Nursing and Rehab complex. That facility already was limiting visitors last week.

Much of the meeting discussion at the chamber gathering focused on the growing threat of the COVID-19 virus, and it’s impact on the community and its businesses. Discussion items included: • SKT’s termination of television service in the community. A company representative noted that SKT will focus on internet service moving ahead.

• City clerk Courtney Meyer noted that the city is working on the 2020

GD Chamber talks web options

By Paul Rhodes

The Times-Sentinel

GODDARD – Members of the Goddard Chamber of Commerce learned a lot about their organization’s website during the group’s regular monthly meeting.

Chamber executive director Angie Duntz gave an overview of the organization’s website, which has numerous features for both members and the general public. Members have several opportunities with the new website, which were covered in a presentation to the group on hand for last week’s meeting.

One important feature is that members can submit events to be put on the website’s calendar of events. Members also can register for events through the website.

“We’re hoping this can become a one-stop shop for community events,” said Duntz.

Another important fea-

ture of the website is the opportunity for members to link up their website and company information to the chamber’s website. That option is available to members for a small annual fee.

From there, the general public can access the calendar of events, as well as the member profiles on the website. All of the features of the website are designed to provide more services for members, and more access to members’ businesses through the website.

In other business at the meeting last week: • Organizers said the Health Fair sponsored by the Goddard Chamber of Commerce was well attended.

• The Goddard Chamber of Commerce has a mentoring program, and mentors are available to be paired up with businesses. For more information, contact the chamber office at 316-833-8385.

Other businesses feel the downside of things

By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

While grocery stores employees are putting in extra hours and working as hard as they can to keep up with demand, it’s a different story at other local businesses.

At least two local dental clinics have closed their doors. Many people have been canceling appointments. In addition, the American Dental Association last week encouraged dentists across the nation to postpone elective procedures in response to COVID-19.

“The ADA is deeply concerned for the health and well-being of the public and the dental team. In order for dentistry to do its part to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, the ADA recommends dentists nationwide postpone elective proce-

Order From Page A1 Stolz said the county is “data poor” at the moment, meaning there are likely additional cases that remain undiagnosed, in part due to a nationwide shortage of testing kits.

However, he said that the county is “data rich” based on what has happened in other American cities and overseas.

At Monday’s special county commission meeting, two different doctors urged the county to adopt the stay-at-home order.

They said that based on what happened in other communities, it is highly likely that Sedgwick County will see an explosion of cases over the next few weeks. They said evidence

dures for the next three weeks,” read a statement on the ADA website.

Twietmeyer Dentistry in Cheney suspended all non-emergency procedures effective Monday, and that will continue through April 6.

Goddard Family Dental made a similar announcement over the weekend.

Palmer Dental Clinic in Haysville has postponed hygiene and orthodontic appointments, but as of Tuesday were still seeing patients.

Medical clinics are still open, but any patient who suspects they may have been infected with COVID-19 strongly urged to call their doctor rather than going to the clinic, to prevent exposing others to the disease.

Medical clinics are considered essential businesses and will remain open if a shelter-in-place order is issued. Please call your

showed that reacting too slowly will results in many more cases.

Minns’ order comes less than 24 hours after the Sedgwick County Commission voted to recommend a stay-at-home order. The commission, which also acts as the county board of health, held special meetings on Sunday evening and late Monday afternoon.

The second meeting was designed to give a health recommendation to Minns.

The commission voted 3-2 in favor of adopting a stay-at-home order similar to what has been adopted in the Kansas City area, and used Johnson County’s order as a model. David Dennis, whose district includes Cheney, Garden Plain and Goddard along with west

Restaurants have been handling things differently. The service industry has been one of the hardest-hit across the country, and those concerns are impacting local decisions.

As this week began, many restaurants had already switched to carry-out or curbside delivery options, and those with home delivery service were staying busy. Some places still had their dining rooms open, although they were required to keep their occupancy below 50 people and were practicing social distancing. Local restaurants with buffets and salad bars had discontinued them by the end of last week.

The latest change came on Monday, when Gov. Laura Kelly issued a new executive order

Wichita and western Sedgwick County, voted for the recommendation. Michael O’Donnell, who represents Clearwater and Haysville along with parts of south Wichita and southern Sedgwick County, was opposed.

Commissioner Lacey Cruse made the motion.

O’Donnell made a substitute motion that would have seen the county make no recommendation, but he only drew support from commissioner Jim Howell.

Commissioners considered two other options.

One would have been to simply follow the governor’s directive limiting public gatherings to no more than 10 people. The other would have been to follow the governor’s executive orders with additional restrictions, such as allowing restau-

that limited statewide gatherings to just 10 people. That in effect ends dine-in service at restaurants across Kansas.

Some local restaurants have decided to close indefinitely.

The Getaway Lounge in Garden Plain made an announcement on Saturday, and Armando’s Mexican Grill said Sunday it was closing as of March 24. Hank Is Wiser Brewery in Cheney did not open last weekend. An announcement on social media on Monday said that the Subway in Cheney was closing until further notice, and China’s Bar and Grill decided to close effective Wednesday.

Those businesses will remain closed until further notice. That list could change hourly, so it is advised to call your favorite restaurant or check their social media and websites for the latest information.

On Monday, Gov. Laura Kelly issued new executive orders, including one that limits public gatherings to 10 people anywhere in Kansas. The order went into effect Tuesday, March 24.

Sedgwick County’s stay-at-home order takes effect Wednesday, March 25, and will run for at least 30 days.

Residents will still be able to do a number of everyday activities. That list includes going to the grocery store or other retail stores for food, household cleaning supplies, etc.; medical visits for yourself or family members; veterinarian visits or purchasing pet supplies; caring

Sedgwick County Commission voted to recommend that the county’s chief medical officer, Dr. Garold Minns, issue a stay-at-home order. That order was issued Tuesday (see related story).

Meanwhile, gas prices have dropped across the area. That is partly due to coronavirus fears as some parts of the country are under stay-at-home orders and many companies are instituting work-from-home policies. In addition, economic fears are curbing consumption. An ongoing oil market price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia, two of the world’s largest oil producers, also is contributing to the price drop.

Kansas was among 19 states that by Friday saw gas fall under $2 per gallon. Those states were located in the Midwest, southern Great Plains and the southeast part of the United States.

for a family member or pet in another household; and traveling for work with essential businesses. In addition, you can still engage in outdoor activities as long as social distancing is maintained.

That means you are free to go for a jog, take your kids or pets for a walk, do yard work, or play in the yard. Utilizing playground equipment is strongly discouraged because of the risk of disease transmission.

Non-essential businesses will need to close or make work-from home arrangements. There are a number of businesses that are considered essential and can remain open.

This list of essential businesses can be found on The Times-Sentinel website at tsnews.com.

Furthermore, the county has provided specific contact information to help citizens and businesses with their questions and concerns.

• If you believe you or a loved one may need to be tested for COVID-19, call the United Way helpline at 2-1-1.

• If you have questions about the stay-at-home order, including whether your business is considered an essential business, call Sedgwick County at 316-660-9000.

• Please reserve calling 9-1-1 for actual emergencies; they do not have the staff to field questions about essential businesses, etc.

• You also can email questions and concerns to stayathomefaq@sedgwick. gov.

How to clean when faced with a shortage of supplies

In light of concerns about COVID-19, various health organizations have issued specific instructions on how to maintain personal safety and cleanliness. These recommendations involve using common household products to sanitize homes, offices and public spaces.

As people take such precautions, many are stocking up on extra essentials — resulting in shortages.

Everything from hand sanitizers to paper towels may be hard to find on grocery store shelves, leaving some to wonder what they can do to remain safe without sanitizers?

The Environmental Protection Agency states that coronaviruses are some of the easiest types of viruses to kill because they have an envelope around them that enables them to merge with other cells and infect them. If that protective coating can be disrupted, the virus can’t do its job. For those having trouble finding well-known cleaning agents, these alternatives may suffice.

Hot water and soap

The reason hand-washing is at the top of the list of sanitizing methods is because it is so effective at washing away viruses and bacteria. Friction from

scrubbing with soap and water can help break the protective envelope, states the EPA. Soap and water can clean all surfaces in a home, especially when applying a little extra elbow grease.

Hydrogen peroxide

As people clear isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) off the shelves, do not discount hydrogen peroxide. The CDC says household hydrogen peroxide at 3 percent concentration can deactivate rhinovirus, the virus that causes the common cold, within six to eight minutes of contact. Coronavirus is easier to destroy than rhinovirus, so hydrogen peroxide may be effective at combatting that virus as well.

Natural items can be used for general cleaning, but have not been endorsed for use on COVID-19 disinfection. In lieu of shortages, white vinegar, baking soda pastes and citrus oils and juices could fill the void of chemically-based cleansers for other home tasks.

Groceries From Page A1 morning.

“It was gone by the end of Friday,” she said.

It’s a similar story at Mize’s.

“We are very busy,” said Brad Mize. “We are seeing more out-of-towners now than we did in the first three days (of the rush).

We’re just working more.

I’m very lucky I have good help.

Mize said stores are limited on how many items they can get their hands on.

“We typically carry about 32,000 items in the story. It looks like we’re half-empty,” he said, adding that he’s limiting his order to about 900 items, the top 20 percent of what customers are buying. “I have to pick and choose what I want. Do I want a box of hamburger or a box of dog food?”

SPK has seen milk sales quadruple, and they sold 350 dozen eggs in a two day-period.

“We love the level of business,” said Dave Clark, another manager at SPK. He said they have seen an influx of Dillons and Walmart shoppers.

“They’re showing up from Wichita.”

Pauly said there is a core group of customers she worries about, and that’s

older shoppers.

“We want to make sure our elderly folks are taken care of. They’re always here for us,” she said.

Mize said this has been a learning process for grocers.

“I know what people don’t want – the things I have on the shelves,” he said with a laugh.

All three stores have cut their own meat and have been able to keep up with demand, while some stores in Wichita are out.

Pauly and Mize said they have been hearing from a number of shoppers in Wichita who drove to their stores and we were surprised not only that the stores had meat, but at the high quality.

SPK had a delivery driver from the Kansas City area purchase meat to take home because his local stores have been out.

Flour, sugar and yeast also have been popular purchases. Mize said the bread companies have been cutting supplies to stores as they struggle to keep up with demand.

Pauly said a number kids, now stuck at home, are learning to bake. Tortilla sales also are up, presumably as an alternative to bread.

Osner said Hired Man’s always has had good

community support, and shoppers are being mindful of others.

“The local people are good. They’re buying only what they need and looking out for others,” she said.

Neither Hired Man’s nor Mize’s had instituted limits on supplies. SPK has put limits on paper goods, bleach, cleaning wipes and hand sanitizers. Some families are coming in to shop, and splitting into separate lines at the last moment to get around the one-per-family limit. Another shopper was seen buying toilet paper, going outside, and then coming back in to buy more while going through a different check-out line, one local grocery said.

The stores hope the upswing in business will continue after things return to normal. They know that some of the customers they are seeing now are folks who have been shopping at national chains in Wichita.

“We took care of them at this critical moment. We hope they will take care of us,” Mize said.

Pauly echoed that.

“So many people have thanked us for being here,” she said. “We’re here for our people.”

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

A grassroots effort in Wichita and surrounding communities is working to make sure groceries get to the people who need them.

Grocery Getters is a new Facebook group designed to put at-risk individuals who need to stay at home in contact with volunteers willing to assist them with grocery shopping, picking up meals or running errands.

Donovan Weik of Wichita helped launch this effort after visiting a local grocery store.

“I saw several elderly folks that were 80 and older in Cash Saver in Haysville amid all the chaos and it crushed me,” he said. He teamed up with Wendy Coley to toss around ideas, and they decided to make the Grocery Getters group. They have since gotten support from the United Way, Senior Services of Wichita, Wichita Police Chief Gordon Ramsey and Wichita Mayor Brandon Whipple.

And the effort is already extending to other communities, including Cheney, Wellington, Newton, Hutchinson and El Dorado. Other towns are being included as more volunteers sign up.

Weik said that volunteers can get the list, shop and get paid upon delivery, or get payment with the list, go shopping and then deliver the goods with change

and a receipt.

This service is not providing free groceries. Beneficiaries must pay for their own food. Volunteers are there to make sure people who are unable to shop for themselves have a way for food to be delivered to them. Weik said it is possible some volunteers can help with other light errands.

Each assistance call is handled on a case-by-case basis.

“We do our best to vet all volunteers and also to send two volunteers when possible. However, this does take a level of trust and kindness. We have faith that love for thy neighbor will prevail during this crisis,” Weik said. He stressed that this service is not for healthy people who don’t want to go out. “Our focus is the elderly, health compromised, disabled, and sick.”

For assistance or to be a volunteer, email GroceryGettersWichita@gmail. com. You can search for the Grocery Getters-Wichita, KS group on Facebook and request to be a member of the group.

Campus Colts finish historic undefeated season

here’s never been another season like it in the history of the Campus Colts boys basketball team.

A No. 1 ranking. An undefeated 23-0 record.

League and substate championships.

In a word, perfection.

The only thing missing is a State championship. The Colts were denied the satisfaction of lifting a trophy – not by an opponent, but by a disease that has become a global pandemic.

COVID-19 is that foe, and it wiped out March

Madness, canceled all spring sports in college and high school, postponed the NBA and NHL seasons, delayed professional baseball, and did something that up until now only World Wars had done...postpone the Summer Olympics.

With the high school basketball season called off with just rounds of games left in the State tournaments, other classes were left with legitimate arguments about who the best team was.

In Class 6A, there is little room for argu-

ment. The Colts stood alone at 23-0. Two teams had two losses, and another had three.

Every one of the remaining 32 teams had four or more losses. The final four at the 6A tournament included Blue Valley Northwest (21-2), Blue Valley North (20-3) and Olathe South (17-6).

Only the Colts beat every opponent. Only Campus sported an unblemished record. The Campus Colts have every right to call themselves champions.

Social distancing tips: 15 ways to stay both sane and safe

Practicing social distancing to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic may sound scary or impossible to do, but there are ways to appropriately handle the process, says Jagdish Khubchandani, a health science professor at Ball State University.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued guidelines to limit the spread of COVID-19 that include recommendations for social distancing – a term epidemiologists use to refer to a conscious effort to reduce close contact between people and hopefully stymie community transmission of the virus.

“Social distancing can be tough on people and disrupt the social and economic fibers of our society,” Khubchandani said.

“Given the existing crisis of isolation in societies – with probably the loneliest young generation that we have today – social distancing can also take a personal health toll on people, causing psychological problems, among many others.”

Khubchandani recommended 15 ways to counterbalance the effects of social distancing: 1. Maintain a routine. As much as possible, social distancing should not disrupt your sleep-wake cycle, working hours, and daily activities.

2. Make social distancing a positive by taking

the time to focus on your personality and personal health, reassessing your work, training, diet patterns, physical activity levels, and health habits.

3. Carve time to cook for yourself and others in need. Add more fruits, vegetable, vitamins, and proteins to your diet (most adults in the United States do not consume enough fruits and vegetables). Get 2-3 meals a day.

4. Go for a walk or exercise at home. Definitely go out in nature as much as possible. Only half of American adults today get enough exercise.

5. Do not let anxiety or being at home lead you to indulge in binge eating or alcohol and drug use.

Don’t oversleep, but do sleep at least 7 hours.

Our recent study found that more than a third of Americans sleep less than 7 hours.

6. Social distancing can cause anxiety and depression due to disruption of routines, isolation, and fear due to a pandemic.

If you or someone you know is struggling, there are ways to get help from a distance.

7. Think forward and try to make best use of technology to finish your work, attend meetings, and engage with coworkers with the same frequency that is required during active office hours. The good news: Working from

home can make people more productive and happier.

8. Small breaks due to social distancing are also times to reassess your skill and training- think of an online course, certification, training, personality development, or new language to learn.

9. Engage in spring cleaning, clear that clutter, and donate non-junk household stuff. Household clutter can harbor infections, pollutants, and create unhygienic spaces.

10. Social distancing should not translate to an unhealthy life on social media. While you can certainly become a victim of myths, misinformation, anxiety, and fear mongering, you may also inadvertently become a perpetrator, creating more trouble for communities.

11. Based on American Time Use Survey and leisure related time-spending patterns worldwide, we spend too much time on screen. Except for 1-2 times day to watch national news for general consumption and local news to check spread of COVID-19 in your own community, you are likely over-consuming information and taking away time from yourself and friends and family.

12. Reach out to people and offer help. Social distancing should also help reinvest in and recreate

social bonds. Consider providing for and helping those at risk or marginalized (e.g. the elderly, disabled, and homeless; survivors of natural disasters; and those living in shelters). You will certainly find someone in the neighborhood who needs some help, this can be done from a distance, on phone, or by online activities and giving.

13. Check your list of contacts on email and phone. Certainly, there are people you have not talked to in a while – time to check on their wellbeing and connect. This will also help you feel more connected, social, healthier, and engaged. Be kind to all; you never know who is struggling and how you can make a difference.

14. Engage in alternative activities to keep your mind and body active such as: listening to music and singing, trying dancing or biking, yoga or meditation, taking virtual tours of museums and places of interest, sketching and painting, reading books or novels, solving puzzles or engaging in board games, trying new recipes and learning about other cultures, etc.

15. Do not isolate yourself totally (physical distancing should not become social isolation).

Don’t be afraid, don’t panic, and do keep communicating with others.

Legislator pushes for coronavirus relief for small businesses

By Adam Strunk Newton Now

State Rep. Tim Hodge (D-North Newton) is making a last ditch effort before the session is out to get the state to take care of small businesses affected by the coronavirus shutdown.

Those are his words.

“We’re going to lose a lot of revenue on Main Street,” he said of the pending shut down to slow the virus’s spread. “I learned from 2008 and 2009. Those bail outs went to the big banks and corporations.

They didn’t trickle down to us. And here we are getting beat up again, and the only people winning are the fattest pigs at the trough – the big companies and the big banks.”

Hodge penned a letter to request Gov. Laura Kelly, also a Democrat, take actions he thinks will help save small Kansas businesses. Hodge said that he’s worried many such businesses would have to close after the social distancing drove down revenues.

One part of Hodge’s plan would be for the state to put off collecting sales and alcohol tax for a year from small businesses and restaurants in the state. Then they will pay the revenue back if they can.

“The idea is it becomes an interest-free loan that has the possibility of being forgiven,” he said. “Without our mom and pops, we aren’t Kansas.”

Hodge also requested that the state defer property tax collection for four to five months to avoid hitting farmers and families during May. Hodge said the state currently has surpluses and the surpluses are there to get Kansas through tough times.

“I’m not going to let the big businesses run off with the surplus again,” he said. “That’s what it’s trying to do.”

When asked if any of these requests will actually be accomplished, Hodge said he thought it was possible. He said the Governor would have the power for such relief measures for local businesses through

the declared state of emergency.

“She could suspend these things,” he said. “That’s what I’m trying to influence her to do. She has to seriously consider them. I think she’ll be nervous initially, but at some point, things are going to get bad in Kansas.”

Hodge outlined a bit about what’s going on in the legislative session.

Earlier on Monday, the state banned gatherings of more than 50.

The Kansas House of Representatives seats far more than 50 people.

“Everything’s happening so fast,” he said. “The leadership’s trying to get us out before we contract this.”

The legislature has already had one scare with a legislator recently being tested for the virus, though the tests eventually came back negative.

Hodge said his hope was that eventually some relief measures would make it to small Kansas businesses who will be in trouble with no help.

“I don’t think we’re even close to digesting all of the tsunamis that are going to be happening as a result of interruptions,” he said.

Try to get ahead with How Medicare is covering coronavirus Savvy Senior German red cabbage

Spice Up Your Life

Lindsey Young Despite all the craziness at the grocery store lately, I decided to head out to our local spot to get supplies for a new recipe I wanted to try.

We were going to have some specialty German sausage for dinner, graciously shared with us by a friend, and I wanted to get something traditional to go with it.

After searching online, I determined I would make a warm German potato salad and some German red cabbage.

When I got to my produce section, that plan had to quickly change. There wasn’t a single potato in sight. Not a Russet or a fingerling or a Yukon gold.

Nothing. I’ve never seen such a thing in my life.

Realizing I was out of luck for potato salad, I turned my attention to the

cabbage area. Leaves were strewn about, and there were no green heads left.

I was afraid I was going to have to come up with a new plan, but I finally spied two very small heads of red cabbage hidden in the back of the display. I decided to scoop them up for our dinner, figuring two small heads equaled one medium one.

So, while I’m sharing this recipe with you this week, I can’t promise you’ll be able to find the ingredients for a bit, but save it, because this turned out great and was an especially delicious side dish to German sausage.

This recipe comes from the website “Quick German Recipes” and is

by Oma Gerhild Fulson. (“Oma” is German for “Grandma.”) I recommend checking out her site.

She has lots of traditional recipes and even has a cookbook out. You can find the original post at https://www.quick-german-recipes.com/recipe-for-red-cabbage.html.

I left the sugar out of my version.

Oma’s Red Cabbage Ingredients 1 medium head red cabbage, shredded 2 tablespoons oil 1 large onion, diced 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and shredded 1/2 cup sweet red wine (I used a cabernet savignon) 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar salt and pepper to taste 1/2 rounded teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 rounded teaspoon cloves 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons corn starch Directions In a deep pot or very large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and saute the onion until lightly browned.

Add the shredded cabbage and apples and saute for a few minutes, stirring regularly to incorporate the ingredients.

Mix in one cup of water along with the red wine, cider vinegar, salt and pepper, nutmeg, cloves, lemon juice and corn starch.

Cover the pan and let it simmer for somewhere between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on how tender you want your cabbage. Check and stir every five minutes or so.

Once the cabbage is to your desired tenderness, taste test it to see if you need to add any more spices, and add more cornstarch if you want to thicken up the juice a bit more. Serve hot.

This had some really nice flavor combinations going on – a little tartness from the apples and vinegar, sweetness from the wine, and warmth from the spices. Plus, it was absolutely gorgeous.

Two words of warning, though. One, it will make your whole house smell like cabbage, which I can tell you was not a plus in Joey’s book. Two, red cabbage likes to stain your fingers, so be ready for a little pop of color on your palms from handling it.

I was glad to be able to find just enough ingredients to make my German red cabbage this week, and it gave me a huge appreciation for our local grocers and those who work in that industry. I bet these are exhausting times, and it’s a good reminder of how lucky I am that fresh produce and an abundance of food is normally always at my fingertips.

Hopefully, our grocery stores—and our communities—will be back to normal in no time.

Dear Savvy Senior, Is Medicare covering testing for the coronavirus? My husband and I are very nervous about this virus and would like to find out if or when we should get tested, and how Medicare manages it.

Nervous Nelly

Dear Nelly, Yes! Medicare is indeed covering the cost of testing for the coronavirus, or COVID-19. But be aware that getting a test isn’t as simple as going to your local pharmacy or doctor’s office and asking for one. Here’s a breakdown of what Medicare is covering, along with how to get tested if you think you may have symptoms.

Medicare Coverage Medicare (Part B) will cover the lab test to see if you have coronavirus, but only when your doctor or other health care provider orders it. You will pay no out-of-pocket costs for these tests.

In addition, Medicare also covers all medically necessary hospitalizations. This includes if you’re diagnosed with COVID-19 and might otherwise have been discharged from the hospital after an inpa-

tient stay, but instead you need to stay in the hospital under quarantine.

And while there’s currently no vaccine yet to protect against COVID-19, when one becomes available next year, it too will be covered by all Medicare prescription drug plans (Part D).

If you happen to get your Medicare benefits through a private Medicare Advantage plan, you will have access to these same benefits. In addition, many Advantage plans are also expanding coverage of telemedicine, which allows beneficiaries to consult with medical professionals without having to go to a doctor’s office. Check with your plan for coverage details.

In normal times, most consumers don’t think twice about a quick trip to the grocery store to pick up a few items.

But these are not normal times. With the threat of the new coronavirus, COVID-19, hanging over most of the country, “social distancing” has become a commonly understood term, one that makes planning trips to the grocery more important.

“In our home, the new object of the game is to see if we can put off a trip to the store,” said Sandy Procter, a nutrition specialist with K-State Research and Extension.

“We are challenging ourselves to not make the quick, short trip, if that’s still possible, and to wait until we have a more complete list. It’s our way of trying to minimize those trips and the

(social) connections that we are supposed to avoid right now.”

Procter said “it makes more sense than ever to have a plan” when shopping for a quarantine or during a time when we should avoid being around others.

“And then we need to follow that plan and utilize what we have on hand before we make what used to be a second-natured, quick trip to the grocery store,” she said. “We need to be a little more intentional in how we shop; do some work ahead of time to plan meals, then use what we have on hand so that we can keep our distance until things get better.”

Planning a week’s worth of meals isn’t always easy for some. “I have friends who write day-to-day menus in their normal life, and that works well

for them,” Procter said.

“But for others – and especially those of us who may have multiple people in our homes for meals that we don’t normally serve – it’s going to take some adapting on the fly.”

Procter offered a few tips for planning meals: • Buy items in bulk.

Instead of buying graband-go breakfast bars, buy a box of bulk oatmeal instead. You can provide a lot of servings at once, and it’s often less expensive.

• Start with the basics, such as sugar, flour or other items that help you make food from scratch.

“Quick meals are maybe not as important right now as much as having enough variety on hand to make flexibility a key part of menu planning,” Procter said.

• Buy shelf-stable foods.

Fresh produce is great,

but to avoid multiple trips to the store during the week, be sure to buy canned goods too. “Foods that are in cans or frozen are packed at their peak of nutritional value, so we know that those are healthy foods,” Procter said. “Use the fresh items first, then incorporate those that will keep longer.”

• Include kids in meal planning. “They will probably have some good ideas, and there are lessons that can be shared, too,” Procter said. It’s one of those times that we will think back on and you’ll appreciate having the time to hang out with the kids and teaching them to cook.”

Prevention Tips To help you steer clear of COVID-19 the CDC recommends that you avoid close contact with anyone who is sick. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after being out in public, blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water isn’t available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol.

To the extent possible, try to avoid touching your face, nose, and eyes. And avoid touching high-touch surfaces in public places,

like elevator buttons, door handles, handrails, and handshaking with people.

Use a tissue or your sleeve to cover your hand or finger if you must touch something.

Also, clean and disinfect your home to remove germs: Practice routine cleaning of frequently touched surfaces – tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, toilets, faucets, sinks and cell phones.

You should also avoid crowds, especially in poorly ventilated spaces.

Your risk of exposure to respiratory viruses like COVID-19 may increase in crowded, closed-in settings with little air circulation if there are people in the crowd who are sick.

The CDC also recommends that seniors and high-risk individuals stock up on supplies, such as extra medications and groceries. And, if there is an outbreak in your community, remain at home as much as possible. They also discourage non-essential travel.

disease are at a higher risk of serious illness if they contract the coronavirus.

So, everyone in these categories need to be vigilant.

Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough and shortness of breath. Severe cases can lead to pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and death.

If you develop any symptoms that are concerning, you should contact your primary-care provider by phone for guidance. If your doctor believes you need testing, he or she will instruct you on what to do.

Unfortunately, there have been reports of test shortages across the country, so depending on where you live you may have to wait a few days.

You need your newspaper, and it needs you, too

As this week started, it appears more and more Kansas counties are looking to enact stay-at-home orders similar to what was adopted by Johnson and Wyandotte counties last weekend.

Through various state and local orders, and through voluntary action taken by many operations, many businesses have closed their doors and cut back on their operations.

Other businesses are cutting back as their cus-

Small businesses are a key part of our commu-

Celebrating…then sheltering Clyde Swansen is celebrating his 90th birthday this week.

Clyde is my girlfriend Kim’s father, so he’s my father, too – for all practical purposes. I’ve known Clyde for more than five years now, and he’s a man I admire a lot.

Anyone who lives to be 90 years old is worth admiring. The fact that Clyde is happy and healthy and still on the go is even more cause for admiration.

For some time now, we had been planning on celebrating Clyde’s birthday this past weekend. First, we had some grand ideas about a big celebration involving family and lots of friends.

Then COVID-19 reared its ugly head in the United States. As the situation got worse, we pared the celebration back to the point where it was questionable whether we would even have it as the weekend approached.

This was the weekend where we knew that a stay-at-home order for Sedgwick County could be coming at any time.

We felt like we needed to use our time safely… and wisely. This could be it for any outings from home short of emergency situations.

We visited friends on Saturday afternoon and

noted that we would stay in touch by phone, and ran errands that we felt were necessary to prepare us for the days and possibly weeks ahead.

And then we went home to cook some food for Clyde’s birthday.

Clyde lives in Sterling, Kan. Sunday’s party was set for his daughter Karen’s house in Larned, Kan. She provided the safe setting for the birthday party, so we provided the food… and Clyde.

It was a long, lonesome drive to Larned on a Sunday afternoon. The trip there was filled with laughter and visiting as Kim, Clyde and I used up our nervous energy on an endless stream of conversation.

The party was simple by design. Only seven of us were invited, and only six of us showed up. But we had all the elements of a celebration that would make an old man smile.

Food. Dessert. Candles.

Lots of balloons. And some presents that were both heart-felt and funny.

It was obvious that Clyde had a great time.

We wore him out, and on the way home all of us were a lot quieter than we had been on the way to Larned.

“Maybe next time we need to meet in the middle,” Clyde said on the way home. It was an astute observation for a tired, 90-year-old birthday boy.

Back in Sterling, we got Clyde settled into his house and then Kim and I finished our journey home.

Yes, it had been a long, long day. But it had been worth every minute of time we had spent on the desolate roads across central Kansas.

The goodbyes that day were a little more tearful than usual. We weren’t passing around hugs or even handshakes, and we all knew that it was going to be goodbye for some time to come.

But our celebration of Clyde’s 90th birthday was genuine, and we filled the house with all the love and energy that a big crowd could have mustered.

And sure enough, Sedgwick County’s stay-athome order began taking shape the next day.

Birthday boy Clyde Swansen is all smiles with his daughters Kim and Karen.

Teachers asked to reinvent education

One week to totally recreate education as we know it.

That is the task given to the teachers of our local school districts as they figure out how to provide a meaningful education to our children in an unprecedented situation where kids have to spend the next couple of months learning from home.

A task force of teachers from across the state recently released “guidance” for a continuous learning plan after Kansas became the first state to officially close schools for the rest of the school year as a way to stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

The closure wasn’t an announcement for an early summer break; the task force leaned toward a sharp focus

on the critical outcomes needed to advance children through the core subjects of their grade level.

The guidance was general. And I mean general by the broadest definition of the word. With lots of suggestion lists and few stipulations, the responsibility of creating this new remote curriculum was placed almost entirely on the shoulders of local districts. We’ll likely see a very diverse offering of educational styles across the state. The same will be happening across the nation.

Some styles may work well and cause a bit of evolution within practical education – this will be, after all, a real-world teaching laboratory – and some may end up as fail-

ures. We don’t know how this will play out.

With no past relatable experiences to draw upon, even from the most veteran of educators, we can do no more than give teachers support by trying to help implement their educational plans for our kids.

We’re all winging it right now with the changes in our lives hoisted upon us from the coronavirus pandemic. There is almost no industry left untouched.

But outside of healthcare workers trying to save our lives, teachers and school administrators may have the next most important job – to keep society advancing educationally while we fight this Editor’s note: Dan Thalmann is owner of the Washington County (Kan.) News.
