PREVENTION To protect yourself and others, the following guidance is provided by the CDC: wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; if soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol; avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands; cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, or use the inside of your elbow; throw used tissues in the trash; clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily; if surfaces are dirty, clean them; put distance between yourself and other people; avoid close contact with people who are sick; stay home if you are sick, except to seek medical care; if seeking medical care, call ahead – allowing medical personnel to prepare for proper personal coverings, assistance and placement of the patient upon arrival; and if you are sick, you should wear a facemask when you are around other people. To prepare for a potential situation in which you are unable to obtain medicine, food or supplies: shop with a purpose and aim for a seven- to 14-day supply of medicine, food and household supplies; make sure your prescriptions are stocked and up to date; and create a supply kit that includes water or hydrating drinks, non-perishable food and fever reducers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. SYMPTOMS The CDC believes at this time that symptoms of COVID-19 may ap- pear in as few as two days or as long as 14 days after exposure. Patients with COVID-19 have experienced mild to severe respiratory symp- toms. Symptoms can include, but are not limited, the following: fever higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit, cough and shortness of breath. If you develop emergency warning signs for COVID-19, seek medical attention immediately. In adults, emergency warning signs include the following: difficulty breathing or shortness of breath; persistent pain or pressure in the chest; new confusion or inability to arouse; and bluish lips or face.

Geraldine KellenbergerGeraldine “Geri” (Noland) Kellen-

berger, 87, of Sabetha, died Thursday, April 9, 2020, at the Sabetha Commu-nity Hospital.

Geri was born on Jan. 4, 1933, in Wil-son, the daughter of Kenneth and Martha (Shrieve) Noland. She attended school in Wilson and graduated with the class of 1951. Geri then moved to Kansas City where she attended and graduated from Trinity Lutheran with a degree in nurs-ing.

She was united in marriage to Lynn Kellenberger in 1962 in Englewood, Colo. Geri and Lynn moved to the Kellenberger family farm located north of Sabetha in 1964. She worked during her career as a nurse for the Hiawatha Hospital, Sabetha Hospital and Fountain Villa in Sabetha. Geri was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Sabetha.

Geri enjoyed traveling, crossword puzzles, was an avid reader and spent her time caring for her grandchildren. She was a big supporter of Sabetha athletics and rarely missed a game.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and her sister, Nannette Anderson.

Leonard Messel

Magnolia ‘Leonard Messel’ is a delight of spring. It has a very

nice habit and can fit into many locations of the landscape. I chose this tree in my own yard for its fragrance and early bloom.

Like most magnolias in North-east Kansas, ‘Leonard Messel’ is an early bloomer. The double pink blossoms arrive in April and can be cut short by a late freeze. The flowers can be attractive to early foraging bumblebees and honey-bees.

“I believe that the magnolia

is vastly underutilized in our area. With different options of leaves, f lowers, size and growth habit, this is an extremely versatile tree that has some-thing for just about every-one,” said Nick Haedt, Certi-fied Arborist at Grimm’s Gar-dens.

This tree grows 10 to 15 feet tall and wide. It can be used as

a screen for early fragrance, as a focal point or near a house. The leaves of this magnolia are dark

green and nar-row, turning yellow in au-tumn. If you cut the branches, there is a sweet, spicy fragrance from the cut wood.

I have not no-ticed any major

pest problems with this tree. I have not seen Japanese beetles attack it,

nor does it get any fungus or leaf spot. One of my customers has one on the northeast corner of a build-ing, and it is not harmed by winter winds. I love my ‘Leonard Messel’ magnolia for its fragrance, which is like a mixture of gardenia, jas-mine and cloves. It looks great in my front landscape surrounded by perennials. I often get custom-ers coming to our Open House in April, looking for small trees for their yard. I love to recommend this magnolia to them, despite its issues with late freeze cycles.

Was that the bottom?

The market is on a tear. Since March 23, the U.S. stock market has rallied

just more than 26 percent, as of April 10. We just capped off the best week the U.S. stock market has seen since 1974.

Investors are scratching their heads asking, “March 23... was that the bottom?”

It’s an interesting question. But it’s the wrong question. Let me explain.

Investors would be wise to take one of two approaches to managing their money. The first approach is more nuanced and technical; it involves judiciously assessing the attractiveness of se-curities, only buying when price is lower than value. The second approach is to continuously buy securities at regular intervals, no matter what the price may be.

Approach one is more difficult and time consuming than ap-proach two. Neither one is more right or wrong than the other. But most investors would fare better over the long term by following the second approach.

Regardless of which approach you take, however, purchasing in-vestments at the market bottom should not be the goal. In fact, that

mentality will most assuredly set you up for failure. Why? Because identifying the market bottom is like trying to determine h o w mu c h spicy food you can eat without getting indiges-tion. You only find out after it’s too late.

So, why are so many people focused on picking the bottom? It’s alluring.

It’s alluring because we know it’s the point of maximum pessi-mism in the market, meaning the point at which we maximize our profits. It’s also alluring because it means losses have come to an end. And we are wired to hate losses more than we love gains.

But we all know the problem. It’s impossible to know the hour or day the market bottoms. The bottom can be easily identified, but not in real time. Months after the fact, a simple line graph will make the bottom a cinch to spot. But by then, the market will have inevitably moved higher, usually by a significant degree.

Just know that hitting the bot-

tom is not required to be a suc-cessful investor. Buying within throwing distance of the bottom

will yield won-derful returns over long peri-ods of time.

Think about it this way. Let’s say you enjoy ribeye steak. Let’s also say that the price of ribeye is usually

$12 a pound. You happen to visit the grocery store and see that rib-eye is selling for $9.50 a pound, a 20 percent discount to the normal price. So, naturally, you purchase several pounds to cover your con-sumption for the next few months. That night, you grill one of the steaks and it tastes amazing.

But what happens if you stop by the grocery store a week later and notice ribeye is now selling for $9.25 a pound – 25 cents cheaper than when you bought your last bundle? Does the fact that you could have bought your steak a little cheaper diminish in any way the taste of your ribeye from the week before? Of course not. You still purchased great steak at a great price.

If you like steak – or stocks – then buying on sale is what’s im-portant, not buying at the lowest possible price.

Think of it this way. If you would have bought $10,000 worth of an investment that tracks the U.S. stock market on October 1, 2008, in the middle of the Great Recession, you would have had $6,426 remaining five months later – about the time the market hit its bottom.

But if you held onto those shares through the end of March of this year, you would have earned a return of nearly 9.5 percent per year. That’s a great return, and it wasn’t because it was made at the absolute best time.

The fact is, only two types of people buy at the bottom: lucky people and liars.

For the rest of us, the advice is simple: Forget about buying at the bottom; just keep buying.Justin Lueger, CFP®, is President of Invisor Financial LLC, a registered investment adviser firm in the State of Kansas.

Manage change

In three to four months, the world is now experiencing a new way of life. Our hab-

its and behaviors, brief, our way of living is changing day by day. Those who cherished hugging, shaking hands and kissing as an affirmation of true relationships, are now experiencing social dis-tancing. A lot of public and in-person events are canceled. This new way of living is building bit by bit in us a kind of mind shift from a societal perspective of do-ing worship.

This change has not only hit our communities, but also the churches around the globe. To-day, churches are accommodating to various ways of doing worship, Bible study or any other church meeting to avoid in-person events that are likely to spread the novel coronavirus pandemic. Not long ago, we were all in the mood of getting ready to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus the Christ. All of the sudden, the coronavirus pandemic has come in to stir fear and anxiety in all of us. But, it is amazing to see that

though the doors of the church buildings are locked up, Chris-tians all over are committed to w o r s h i p i n g God with the assurance that human beings social distance themselves. It is true that we never distance ourselves with God because we understand deep within ourselves that social distancing and refraining from shaking hands are not ways to re-ject the other person, but instead, this experience yields in us the sense of responsibility, the sense of care and the pride of being part and parcel of stopping the spread of the novel coronavirus. Deep within ourselves we are saying, “I don’t want to get it and I don’t want to give it to someone else!” This is the sense of responsibility and this is the expression of love.

As of April 10, 2020, the pan-demic of the novel coronavirus has claimed the lives of more than

95,766 people worldwide. This new respiratory virus is rapidly spreading to every continent, ev-

ery country, every state and every county. Many are ask-ing questions. What can we do in such a crisis? How are we go-ing to navigate this?

Let me as-sure you today that, in the midst of uncertainty, King David invites us to discover the value of build-ing up the personal relationship with God. David’s songs have been sung for 3,000 years. But, Psalm 23 is the number one in the chart. It is people’s most fa-vorite because it speaks to life — that life is made up with fears and uncertainty. This is a song of tre-mendous consideration, comfort especially in times like this; time of loss of the loved one to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Psalm 23 is saying Yahweh (I am, I exist) is my shepherd. David has extended

his hope in the God who exists, and the God who is; his future is in the hands of Yahweh. This is what gives him a strong sense of security when he says in verse four, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil….”

Yes, it is in the valley the ship is closer to the shepherd. It’s in the valley the ship experiences the sense of belonging. Even for all of us today, it is in the valley we feel our Lord is closer to us. Maybe we did not feel God’s presence while we were on top of the mountain. Now that we go down the valley and our nation is grieving the loss of loved ones, let’s draw closer to God. When you feel disappoint-ed with life, draw closer to God. Like Job, let’s see God in the midst of tragedy because he is able to change our situation. Also, Joseph learned to see his enemies, who had evil intentions, as instruments in the hand of God. Even in the midst of the novel coronavirus, God, the Almighty, will see us through.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Overruling Governor Kelly’s executive order is irresponsibleDear Editor,

The core of the church is contained in these words of Christ: “Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” As Romans 8 says, “There is noth-ing that can separate us from the love of God”. How wise of Pope Francis and all church leaders who recognize the need to stay at home, and that God is still with us, no matter what or where. It is irresponsible that the Republicans overruled Governor Laura Kelly’s executive order to hold all gatherings to 10 or less. Eighty people “gathered” in Chicago to worship. Forty of them were infected with the coronavirus. And as they went home, how much further did it spread to others? How many died from that exposure? Satan must smile when he hears that Trump was “chosen” to save America. His mis-handling of the coronavirus crisis from the beginning has cost American lives. I feel for the doctors and nurses, all workers, who have to work without the proper protection. While the death toll rises, Trump brags that his ratings are through the roof. He encourages us to go back to work when the only safe way to do that is extensive testing to know if it’s safe. Only 0.6 percent of the country has been tested. We are one of the lowest countries who have tested their people. Now Trump says it isn’t necessary. I believe the doctors and the scientists who give us facts. It is a credit to the American people who have chosen to follow the facts and stay at home. It’s the reason that the virus is not exploding more that it is. Until there is a vaccine, it is the only weapon to fight this deadly disease and save as many lives as possible. Pope Francis says this is a time for the “creativity of love”, a time for reflection to think about how much we take for granted, how we can make our world a better place for all. Amen.

Support local businessesDear Editor,

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we at KNZA Radio certainly feel the added stress and uncertainty as community members and small local business owners facing new chal-lenges presented every day. Small businesses have always been at the pulse and the heart of our community. While I am confident our rural area will come out of this and continue as a strong and vibrant community soon, what we do in the meantime is crucial to ensuring our future. As individuals and businesses adapt and fight to survive, the importance of supporting other small businesses is more important now than ever as we unite to keep our local communities active and prosperous. Local businesses provide greater access and diversity with a willingness to help find or order whatever you may want or need. Right now, they need us to support them, as they have been there for us for so many years and in so many ways. Besides providing a variety of accessible local products and services, small businesses have a positive impact on the job market, employ our friends and neighbors and help defray costs and taxes. Locally owned businesses give back to our local communities and many of those dollars are reinvested and recirculated back into our stores, schools, organizations, and other charitable causes. We are seeing during this Corona pandemic more than ever that small businesses provide bet-ter customer service and will always go above and beyond to deliver anyway they can. Please take advantage of calling ahead and curbside pickup and delivery. Purchase gift cards to use later, tip generously and shop our local stores online. Other ways we can help include: paying cash, liking and following their social media accounts, taking time to submit positive online reviews, and above all, just show your appreciation and say thanks! This Coronavirus pandemic is temporary, but our choice and ability to continue hometown traditions and shop local small businesses can have a long-lasting impact on the sustainability and success well into our future. This is where we raise our children, where we work, where we play and where we worship. We are all a part of this community and we are all in this together! Stay positive and remain patient while supporting local businesses and each other as friends, family, and neighbors.

Justin FlukeVP/Owner, KNZA/MSC Radio Group

COLUMNS

Quarantine mental health wellness tips, Part 1

The following was shared with me from some-one in the district and I

thought it was good considering the times we are in. It is a rather lengthy read, but well worth it. This article was written by a psy-chologist who stated, “After hav-ing thirty-one sessions this week with patients where the singular focus was COVID-19 and how to cope, I decided to consolidate my advice and make a list that I hope is helpful to all.”

I can’t control a lot of what is going on right now, but I can contribute this. I am surprised and heartened that this has been shared so widely! People have asked me to credential myself, so to that end, I am a doctoral-level Psychologist in NYS with a Psy.D. in the specialties of School and Clinical Psychology. The author is D. Eileen Feliciano, and this is be-ing used with permission. Thank you, Henrietta Area for sharing it with me.

1. Stick to a routine. Go to sleep and wake up at a reasonable time, write a schedule that is varied and includes time for work as well as self-care.

2. Dress for the social life that you want, not the social life you have. Get showered and dressed in comfortable clothes, wash your face, brush your teeth. Take the time to do a bath or a facial. Put on some bright colors. It is amaz-ing how our dress can impact our mood.

3. Get out at least once a day, for at least thirty minutes. If you are concerned with contact, try first thing in the morning, or later in the evening, and try less traveled streets and avenues. If you are high risk or living with those who are high risk, open the windows and blast the fan. It is amazing how much fresh air can do for spirits.

4. Find time to move each day, again daily for at least thirty mi nutes . I f you don’t feel c om for t able going outside, there are many YouTube vid-eos that offer free movement classes, and if all else fails, turn on the music and have a dance party!

5. Reach out to others, you guessed it, at least once daily for thirty minutes. Try to do Face-Time, Skype, phone calls, texting — connect with other people to seek and provide support. Don’t forget to do this for your chil-dren as well. Set up virtual play-dates with friends daily via Face-Time, Facebook Messenger Kids, Zoom, etc. — your kids miss their friends, too!

6. Stay hydrated and eat well. This one may seem obvious, but stress and eating often don’t mix well, and we find ourselves over-indulging, forgetting to eat, and avoiding food. Drink plenty of water, eat healthy foods and chal-lenge yourself to learn how to cook something new!

7. Develop a self-care toolkit. A lot of successful self-care strategies involve something for all the sens-es. An idea might be a soft blanket or stuffed animal, hot chocolate, photos of vacations, comforting music, lavender or eucalyptus oil, a small swing or rocking chair or a weighted blanket. A journal, an inspirational book or a coloring book is wonderful. Bubbles to blow or blowing water color on paper through a straw are visu-ally appealing, as well as work on controlled breathing. Gum, ginger ale and ice packs are also good for anxiety regulation. For children,

it is great to help them create a self-regulation comfort box – a shoe-box or bin they can deco-rate – that they can use on the ready for first-aid when over-whelmed.

8. Spend time playing with children. Chil-

dren will rarely communicate how they are feeling, but will often make a bid for attention and com-munication through play. Don’t be surprised to therapeutic themes of illness, doctor visits and isolation play through. Understand that play is cathartic and helpful for children — it is how they process their world and problem solve, and there’s a lot they are seeing and experiencing now.

9. Give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and a wide berth. A lot of cooped up time can bring out the worst in everyone. Each person will have moments when they will not be at their best. It is important to move with grace through blowups, to not show up to every argument you are invited to, and to not hold grudges and continue disagreements. Everyone is doing the best they can to make it through this.

10. Everyone find their own retreat space. Space is at a pre-mium. It’s important that people think through their own separate space for work and for relaxation. For children, help them identify a place where the can go to retreat when stressed. You can make this place cozy by using blankets, pil-lows, cushions, scarves, beanbags, tents and “forts.” It is good to know that even when we are on top of each other, we have our own special place to go to be alone.

11. Expect behavioral issues in

children, and respond gently. We are all struggling with disruption in routine, none more than chil-dren, who rely on routines con-structed by others to make them feel safe and to know what is com-ing next. Expect increased anxi-ety, worries and fears, nightmares, difficulty separating or sleeping, testing limits and meltdowns. Do not introduce major behavioral plans or consequences at this time — hold stable and focus on emo-tional connection.

12. Focus on safety and attach-ment. We are going to be living for a bit with the unprecedented demand of meeting all work dead-lines, homeschooling children, running a sterile household and making a whole lot of entertain-ment in confinement. We can get wrapped up in meeting expecta-tions in all domains, but we must remember that these are scary and unpredictable times for children. Focus on strengthening the con-nection through time spent fol-lowing their lead, through physi-cal touch, through play, through therapeutic books and via verbal reassurances that you will be there for them in this time.

13. Lower expectations and practice radical self-acceptance. This idea is connected with num-ber 12. We are doing too many things in this moment, under fear and stress. This does not make a formula for excellence. Instead, give yourself what psychologists call “radical self-acceptance” – ac-cepting everything about your-self, your current situation and your life without question, blame or pushback. You cannot fail at this — there is no roadmap, no precedent for this and we are all truly doing the best we can in an impossible situation.

Next week will be part two.

Broomsedge bluestem

It might look at first glance like leftover prairie grass against the dark green back-

drop of a recent-ly fertilized hay field. You might even be lulled in to thinking that this type of diversity is a good thing. That might not be the case.

Broomsedge bluestem is a warm season peren-nial becoming an increasing prob-lem in cool season grass stands. Not overly competitive, it takes advantages of an “opening” in the canopy, and slowly starts its spread. Mostly unpalatable to livestock, it takes the place of more desirable species, with elimination a tough task.

The reasons for its increase are numerous. It likes low fertility. Fields with low phosphorous levels seem to be particularly susceptible to invasion. It’s not uncommon for hay fields in northeast Kansas to have low P levels, making them prime candidates for reduced cool season grass growth and an oppor-tunity for broomsedge to thrive. Low pH levels slow cool season grass growth, helping broomsedge thrive as well. Once established, it can produce allelopathic chemicals inhibiting other plants, including the nitrogen-fixing bacteria neces-sary for good clover establishment and survival.

To combat broomsedge blue-stem, consider an integrated ap-proach. Harvest/graze at an appro-priate time and height. This will help cool season grasses remain competitive, giving them every opportunity to maintain the can-opy space they occupy, and keep broomsedge out.

Fertility is a key. Start with a soil test later this summer and develop a fertility program accordingly. Research in both Missouri and Oklahoma suggests that a balanced fertility program (pH and N/P/K)

can return the species composition to a predominance of desirable spe-cies in as few as two years.

These prac-tices won’t be an overnight fix, but if you don’t start soon, bro om s e d ge will be your for-age of default – and the cost of that recovery might be a lot

greater.Want to know more about what

broomsedge looks like? Check out our Meadowlark Extension Dis-trict Facebook page for a recent video.

Henbit Control in the Home Lawn

The little purple flower is do-ing its thing. Henbit - the square stemmed winter annual that seems to completely take over many lawns every spring.

Winter annual is an important part the plant’s description. It actu-ally started growing last fall – we just didn’t see it until it flowered. Now, it’s almost a waste of time and money to try to control it. You might make it look sick. You might even burn it back. Rarely, however, will you kill it. Rather than spend money on chemicals, consider a different management plan.

First, understand that as a winter annual, henbit will die when the weather gets hot. Keep mowing and let nature take its course.

Second, mark the calendar for a fall herbicide application. Henbit germinates about mid-October. Spraying on a day that is at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit with 2,4-D, Weed-B-Gon, Weed Free Zone, Weed Out or Trimec in late Octo-ber/early November can go a long way toward eliminating these plants when small and relatively easy to control. Follow up with spot treatments in March before it puts on too much growth.

Note: this course of action is also very good for dandelions as well.

BC – Before Corona

Back in BC – before Co-rona, I was busy making plans for our summer

Range and Pas-ture programs. T h at c a me to a screech-ing halt. I also would stop by the grocer y store a couple times a week, a s y mptom of working in town. BC, you would hop in the car and go hither and there, and now you need to stop and think if it’s “essential” or not. What a crazy world we are living in now. I saw this online and thought I would share:

They ran to the groceries, they filled up their carts,

They emptied the Tops and Price Chopper and Walmart.

They panicked and fought and then panicked some more,

Then they rushed to their homes and they locked all the doors.

The food will be gone! The milk eggs and cheese!

The yogurt! The apples! The green beans and peas!

The stores have run out, now what will we do?

They’ll be starving and looting and nothing to do!

Then they paused, and they lis-tened a moment or two.

And they did hear a sound, ris-ing over the fear,

It started out far, then began to grow near.

But this sound wasn’t sad, nor was it new,

The farms were still doing what farms al-ways do.

The food was still coming, though they’d emptied the shelves,

The farms kept it coming, though they struggled themselves.

Though the cities had forgotten from where their food came,

The farms made them food ev-ery day, just the same.

Through weather and critics and markets that fall,

The farms kept on farming in spite of it all.

They farmed without thank yous.

They farmed without praise.They farmed on the hottest and

coldest of days.They’d bought all the food, yet

the next day came more,And the people thought of

something they hadn’t before.Maybe food, they thought,

doesn’t come from a store.Maybe farmers, perhaps, mean

a little bit more.Author Credit: Anna Richards

Remove blossoms on newly planted strawberries

Spring-bearing strawberry plants that were set out this spring should have

blossoms pinched off. New plants have a limited amount of energy. If blossoms remain on the plants, energy that should go to runner development is used to mature fruit instead. Plants that are al-lowed to fruit will eventually produce runners, but those run-ners will not be strong enough to produce a good crop of berries the following year. For an adequate strawberry plant population and a good crop next year, early runner development is necessary. Early runners will produce far more strawberries than runners that form later in the season.

Newly planted everbearing plants also should have fruits removed for the first four to six weeks after planting so they de-velop a strong root system.

Apple Tree SpraysTwo common diseases on

apple trees are cedar apple rust and apple scab. Though some apple varieties are resistant to these diseases — including Liberty, Jona-free, Redfree, Freedom, Wil-liams Pride and Enterprise — most varieties are susceptible. For a description of disease-resistant varieties, go to http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/1000/1401.html.

Fungicide sprays during April and May are critical to preventing disease on susceptible varieties. A fungicide that is available to homeowners and very effective for control of apple scab and cedar apple rust is myclobutanil (Immu-

nox). There are several formula-tions of Immunox but only one is labeled for fruit. Check the label.

S p r a y s should be done on a seven- to 10-day schedule to keep the pro-tective chemi-cal cover on the rapidly de-veloping leaves and fruit. An insecticide will need to be add-

ed to this mixture after petal drop to prevent damage from codling moths that cause wormy apples. Methoxychlor or malathion can be used as an insecticide. In order to protect bees, do not use any in-secticide during bloom.

Although gardeners may continue to use myclobutanil throughout the season — but not

more than 10 times — certain other fungicides are more effec-tive on summer diseases, such as sooty blotch and fly speck. Con-sider switching to Captan or to a fruit spray mixture about June 1.

A spreader-sticker can be added to the fungicide-insecticide chem-ical mixture to improve the dis-tribution and retention of the pest control chemicals over the leaves and fruit. A hard, driving rain of about one inch or more will likely wash chemicals from the leaves and fruit. In such cases, another application should be made.

You can find information on controlling insects and diseases on apple trees in our publication titled “Spray Guide for Grow-ing Apples at Home” by visiting https://www.bookstore.ksre.ksu.edu/pubs/MF3429.pdf.

Intervals boost fitness

You can boost your fitness by adding short bursts of intense activity, or “in-

tervals.” Re-search shows that alternating these intense activity bursts with l ighter activity can be better for your overall health than slow, sus-tained exercise.

The key is starting at a level that is right for you and build from there. If you walk for exercise, start by adding a 30-second in-terval of brisk walking or jogging several times during your walk.

Gardening for ExerciseGardening and yard care are

physical activities you can enjoy for a lifetime. As with any type of activity, it pays to warm up your body before you do any type of gardening activity. Start by walk-ing for about five minutes and do some basic stretching to lubricate your joints.

Once you are warmed up, there are four basic rules to follow to avoid painful gardening and lift-

ing.1. Stay in a neutral position

whenever possible. Think about bringing the garden up to you, or going down to where your garden is, and try to avoid twisting move-ments, which c au s e bac k stress.

2. Lift with your legs. These muscles are stronger than your back muscles.

3. Keep what you are lifting balanced and close to your body. Holding at arm’s length adds seven to 10 times more stress on your back.

4. Limit twisting. Tighten ab-dominal muscles as you are lift-ing. If you need to turn while lifting, pivot your feet instead of twisting your back.

A good cool-down to gardening is just as important as a warm-up. While it may be tempting to just sit down right after hours of activ-ity, slow walking is better. Follow up with more stretches – a little slower and longer this time.

Sabetha Auto Parts employees smile in front of their new building. Pictured are (L-R) Jesse Edwards, owner; Doug Aberle; and Jared Kruse. According to Edwards, they decided to build a new building in order to have more parts in inventory to better serve Sabetha and surrounding communities. Edwards said the new building is “three times” the size of their old building. Unlike the new building, the old one is not owned by Edwards. They said if anyone is interested in renting the building to contact the Napa store, and they will put interested parties in touch with the current owner. Napa offers many products including retail auto parts, heavy duty parts, agriculture parts, small engine parts, automotive maintenance products, marine parts, sprayer parts, semi parts, trailer parts and much more. Edwards also noted that they will eventually have hydraulic hoses available. Their new building is located at 1401 S. U.S Old Highway 75. Heather Stewart | Herald

With a local sales tax rate of 1 percent, Seneca’s distributions are down 19.2 percent, from $49,002.49 in March 2019 to $39,576.65 in March 2020. Fiscal year to date, Seneca’s distributions are up 0.5 percent.

COUNTYBrown County saw an increase,

while both Nemaha and Jackson counties saw a decrease, in sales tax distributions for March.

Nemaha County’s distribu-tions were down 10.4 percent, from $159,696.72 in March 2019 to $143,148.45 in March 2020.

Nemaha County has a local sales tax rate of 1 percent. Fiscal year to date, Nemaha County’s distribu-tions are up 1.8 percent.

Jackson County, with a local sales tax rate of 1.4 percent, saw a 9.5 percent decrease — from $151,701.71 in March 2019 to $137,276.75 in March 2020. Fiscal year to date, Jackson County’s dis-tributions are down 1.6 percent.

STATEStatewide, city and county

distribution totals were up 4.5 percent in March. Distributions totaled $75,206,183.31 in March 2020, up from the $71,987,137.88 distributed in March 2019. Fiscal year to date, statewide distribu-tions are up 2.4 percent.

GOVERNORS ORDERSApril 7, 2020: Executive Order

No. 20-18This executive order replaces

Executive Order No. 20-14This order primarily brings our

religious institutions and religious and non-religious funerals in line with the previous order that lim-ited public gatherings to 10 or fewer people.

Although religious institutions and funerals previously were ex-empt from this 10-person limit, they now will need to comply with this rule, effective at 12:01 p.m.

Wednesday, April 8, 2020.Executive Order No. 20-18 does

not ban religious gatherings or fu-nerals. Instead, both conducting and attending religious services and funerals remain designated “essential functions” and can-not be prohibited by local orders. However, gatherings must be lim-ited to 10 individuals at a time, and clergy, staff and attendees must adhere to appropriate safety protocols as outlined in the state-wide stay-at-home order – includ-ing social distancing, hygiene and other efforts.

April 8, 2020: Executive Order No. 20-18 revoked

On Wednesday, April 8, the Kansas Legislative Coordinating Council (LCC) voted to revoke Governor Kelly’s Executive Order 20-18, a temporary limit to mass gatherings of 10 or fewer people.

“This unprecedented action by the LCC to overrule a governor’s emergency response authority puts every Kansas life at risk amid a global health pandemic,” Gov-ernor Kelly said.

April 9, 2020: Governor Kelly takes Legal Action on LCC

In response, the Kelly admin-istration announced Thursday, April 9, it has taken legal action to ensure politics do not continue to impede on the state’s ability to save Kansas lives.

“The last thing I want right now is a legal battle,” Governor Kelly said. “But Kansas lives are on the line, and I took an oath to uphold and defend the constitution. What the LCC did yesterday – in concert with the Kansas Attorney Gen-eral – weakened and confused our emergency response efforts, put-ting every Kansan at risk. I cannot stand for that.”

According to a press release is-sued by Governor Kelly’s office, the Kansas Emergency Manage-ment Act empowers the Legis-

lature with certain checks upon gubernatorial authority in the time of an emergency. However, those checks are allocated to the Kansas Legislature as a whole – not the seven-person Legislative Coordinating Council. If the Leg-islature seeks to amend the Kansas Emergency Management Act, it must do so by way of the consti-tutionally prescribed legislative process – not by issuing a mere concurrent resolution.

Under the Kansas Constitu-tion, laws are made by passing bills through both houses of the Legislature and presenting them to the Governor for signature. The Legislature bypassed that process when it attempted, in the wan-ing hours before adjourning, to change the Kansas Emergency Management Act through a reso-lution.

The suit was filed with the Kan-sas Supreme Court to provide a conclusive, swift decision.

April 9, 2020: Executive Order No. 20-19

This order extends professional and occupational licenses for the remainder of the pandemic.

Under the order, all state agen-cies shall extend renewal dead-lines for any occupational or pro-fessional license that has expired – or will expire – during this di-saster. Licenses will remain valid as long as the disaster declaration is in effect, and for 90 days after it expires.

The measure also waives any late penalties or expiration fees, and it extends deadlines for con-tinuing education requirements.

April 9, 2020: Executive Order No. 20-20

This order temporarily allows notaries and witnesses to do their jobs remotely, through audio-vid-eo communication technology.

“Our economy is at a standstill at the moment,” Governor Kelly said. “But to the extent that we can, it’s important to find ways for Kansans to continue safely enter-ing into contracts, filing marriage licenses, updating wills and han-dling other personal health care directives while still adhering to social distancing protocols.”

April 11, 2020: Kansas Su-preme Court Overrules LCC Decision

On Saturday, April 11, the Kan-sas Supreme Court invalidated the LCC’s April 8 revocation of Gov-ernor Laura Kelly’s COVID-19 Executive Order 20-18.

After hearing arguments elec-tronically, the Court ruled swiftly and narrowly, relying on the plain language of House Concurrent Resolution No. 5025. The Court said the revocation could not stand, because the resolution failed to give the LCC the neces-sary power to override the Gov-ernor’s order.

The majority opinion, written for the Court and not signed by an individual justice, said: “As ultimately acknowledged by all counsel during oral arguments today, even if we accept House Concurrent Resolution 5025 as an otherwise valid exercise of leg-islative authority, its plain text did not authorize the LCC to revoke Executive Order 20-18.”

“I want to thank the Supreme Court for its expedited review under difficult circumstances,” Governor Kelly said, referring to the Supreme Court meeting for the first time in the court’s his-

tory by video conference. “Our response to this unprecedented pandemic has necessitated that even our most fundamental in-stitutions find alternative meth-ods that preserve public health. Today’s ruling does not change my commitment to maintaining open lines of communication and collaboration with the Legislature. The only way to get through this is by working with — not against — each other in a bipartisan fash-ion.”

April 13, 2020: Executive Or-der No. 20-22

This order will extend tempo-rary relief for motor carriers from certain rules and regulations. It is an extension of motor carrier rules and regulations put in place by Executive Order No. 20-09.

The order lifts certain weight restrictions and permitting re-quirements to allow needed medi-cal supplies, food shipments and other items to move through Kan-sas as quickly as possible. These exceptions apply only to motor carriers actively participating in COVID-19 response effort.
