Dream First Bank, Of Syracuse, KS, Assumes All Deposits Of The FourHeartland Tri-State Bank LocationsWASHINGTON – Heart-land Tri-State Bank of Elkhart, Kansas, was closed today by the Kansas Office of the State Bank Commis-sioner, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as re-ceiver. To protect deposi-tors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with Dream First Bank, National Asso-ciation, of Syracuse, Kan-sas, to assume all of the deposits of Heartland Tri-State Bank.The four branches of Heartland Tri-State Bank (including in Attica, KS) will reopen as branches of Dream First Bank, Nation-al Association, on Monday, July 31, under normal busi-ness hours. This evening and over the weekend, de-positors of Heartland Tri-State Bank can access their money by writing checks or using ATM or debit cards. Checks drawn on the bank will continue to be pro-cessed. Loan customers should continue to make their payments as usual.Depositors of Heartland Tri-State Bank will become depositors of Dream First Bank, National Association, so customers do not need to change their banking relationship in order to re-tain their deposit insurance coverage. Customers of Heartland Tri-State Bank should continue to use their existing branch until they receive notice from Dream First Bank, National Asso-ciation, that it has complet-ed systems changes to allow its branch offices to process their accounts as well.As of March 31, 2023, Heartland Tri-State Bank had approximately $139 million in total assets and $130 million in total depos-its. In addition to assuming Next to the Arts Center’s Main Street entrance (lo-cated in the old Carnegie Library at 104 N Spring-field in Anthony), there is a repurposed newspaper dispenser. But it’s not for distributing news….it dis-penses art supplies!Introducing…..the Mak-ery! This little free library of creativity was inspired by author Brad Montague. In his newest book ‘The Fan-tastic Bureau of Imagina-tion’, there’s a place called The Makery (rhymes with bakery), where anything is possible and anything can be created. This prompted the author’s wife to create a real-life Makery, which they shared about on social me-dia, and they encouraged The Arts Center Opens The Makery In Anthonyothers to use the idea as well.How do you use the Makery? It’s like any other library….but with supplies for making! You can pick up something you need, drop off something you no lon-ger need, and then go make something beautiful the world needs!Staff at the Arts Center will monitor the dispenser weekly, adding new sup-plies, and keeping the offer-ings fresh. If you’re drop-ping off supplies, please donate items that fit inside the box and are clean and ready for use by someone else. Also, make sure they BANK Continued on next pageMAKERY Continued on next page

The FDIC as receiver and Dream First Bank, Nation-al Association, will share in the losses and poten-tial recoveries on the loans covered by the shared-loss agreement, which is pro-jected to maximize recover-ies on the assets by keeping them in the private sector. The agreement is also ex-pected to minimize disrup-tions for loan customers.Customers with ques-tions about the transaction should call the FDIC toll-free at 1-866-431-1725. The phone number will be op-erational this evening until 9:00 p.m. Central Time (CT); on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. CT; on Sunday from noon to 6:00 p.m. CT; on Monday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. CT; and thereafter from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CT. Interested parties also can visit the FDIC’s website.The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit In-surance Fund (DIF) will be $54.2 million. Compared to other alternatives, Dream First Bank, National As-sociation’s, acquisition was the least costly resolution for the DIF, an insurance fund created by Congress in 1933 and managed by the FDIC to protect the deposits at the nation’s banks.BANK Continued from previous pageBy Tammy BrannonThe Chaparral Varsity Cheer Team just recently came home from attend-ing Cheer Camp held by KSHAA/Varsity Spirit/UCA at Coffeyville Community College. It was a four day camp where material was taught, everything from cheers, stunts, dance/pom routines and Game Day material. Also during camp, mul-tiple competitions and awards are given out. The camp had over 250 partici-pants with approximately 18 teams with a mix of 6A-1A schools. The first award winner was Kennedy Jef-feries who won the Jump Off. She had the best jumps out of all who participated in the Jump Off Competi-tion. Another competition was All American try outs. Each team sent six of their squad members to try out and only the top twenty percent make the All Amer-ican team. They are judged on jumps, a cheer and dance routine. Chaparral had 3 of the six that tried out make it and it was Seniors Alaina Bellesine and Chloe Dodgen and Junior Cassidy Misak. One of the most presti-gious awards given is the Pin It Forward Award. This award is given out first by the staff holding the camp. Each staffer picks a cheer-leader who shows leader-ship, respect and exudes the cheerleading spirit. Alaina Bellesine won the award and in return, all the award winners pick someone who stood out at camp to them (can’t be someone on their own team) that shows the same qualities, and two more from Chaparral were picked by other team win-ners, Junior Cassidy Misak and Sophomore Kennedy Jefferies. Last day, Game Day Competition takes place where all teams compete their Game Day Mate-rial, which is a band chant routine, a sideline cheer, a crowd lead cheer and fight song. Chaparral placed sec-ond. The other competition was a Dance Routine. This material was taught with everyone learned the first half of routine, the second half the girls put together and added stunts. Chapar-ral received fourth place on their routine.The CHS Cheer team is ready and excited to start their season. They had a great time at Camp and spent a lot of time bonding and learned so much and ready to implement what CHS Varsity Cheer Team Comes Home With Multiple Awards From Campthey learned this fall at football games and winter at basketball!

Dept. On Aging: Nursing Home Checklist By Jennifer WolffNot a week goes by that I don’t get a question about nursing home or home health care process & pro-cedure. It can be confus-ing, daunting & downright scary! But it doesn’t have to be. By taking the time now while you are able & willing to visit facilities, ask ques-tions, prepare financially & inform your family of your wishes & provisions, you can alleviate some stress about aging in your commu-nity. I would even suggest spending time at facilities by volunteering your time, talking with residents & see for yourself the level of care they receive. Everyone has heard it, nursing home care will be expensive. There are many ways to pay for your care. Most people who enter nursing homes & assisted living begin by paying for the care out of pocket, also called “private pay”. As your use your resources (cash, liquidated invest-ments & assets) you may eventually become eligible for Medicaid. Medicare gen-erally doesn’t cover long-term stays in a nursing home. Medicare will cover very limited & medically necessary skilled nurs-ing care if you need short-term care for an illness or injury. Contact Medicare directly for clarification – a discharge nurse or nurse navigator can help with this transition too before a surgery is performed. Long-term care insurance is an-other option to pay for both skilled & non-skilled care. These policies vary widely so look at policies carefully & assess how much care you might need. Also check to see if your coverage could be limited because of a pre-existing condition.As you look at care fa-cilities, it’s important to ask if they are Medicare &/or Medicaid certified. Also ask if the facility & administra-tor is licensed in your state. This means they have met certain standards set by a state or local government agency. More questions to ask:-Do they offer special-ized services like rehabili-tation or memory care?-Do they have transpor-tation for doctor appoint-ments & errands?-Are there extra charges for services like housekeep-ing & beauty shop?-Do residents have a choice of food items & are snacks available? -What kind of back-ground check is performed on staff/potential hires? (Make sure they don’t hire staff who have been found guilty of abuse, neglect or mistreatment of residents.)-How many staff to resi-dent ratio do they main-tain?-What activities & out-ings are scheduled regular-ly? Ask to see a schedule of events.-Safety - ask to see their emergency evacuation plan & last fire & tornado drill data. For a full checklist of questions to consider when planning long term care, contact Jennifer at the Ag-ing Office 620-842-5104.The Public Transporta-tion Service assists ALL Harper Co residents of any age to stay indepen-dent with transportation to work, medical appoint-ments, shopping, errands, Patterson Health Center & locations less than 70 miles.
