Demolition Begins On Anthony Medical Center BuildingBy Kristen Birket, PHCDirector of MarketingDemolition work has be-gun for the former Anthony Medical Center building after several attempts to repurpose the building did not come to fruition.Road closures are not expected, but there will be more trafﬁc on the streets surrounding the building. Demolition is slated for completion before the end of the summer.The land will be avail-able for development.Since 2019, board mem-bers and staff have worked to ﬁnd a new purpose for the building. Some of those ideas included a hospice, veterans’ homes, foster care facility, mental health, a jail and more. More in-quiries were made to the USDA, Kansas Department of Commerce and a devel-opment company, but none were able to come to frui-tion."The staff, along with the community and members of the Health Foundation, have done a phenomenal job of working with interested parties to initiate plans for Anthony Medical Center," said Sarah Teaff, CEO of Patterson Health Center. "None of those plans have been put into place due to the considerable expense it will take to make important repairs to the building's in-frastructure."A town hall meeting took place in February 2023 to discuss the future of the building, followed by a ga-rage sale in March where several items were sold and donated. Funds from the sale will go to future proj-ects.The building was built in 1961 and the east wing was added in January 1968. Other additions were built in 2006 and 2011.In 2019, Anthony Medi-cal Center merged with Harper Hospital to create Patterson Health Center through a very generous donation. This allowed the facility to take advantage of economies of scale, more efﬁcient usage of resources and increase the services offered to the community. The facility added a hydro-therapy pool, a 64-slice CT scanner, a 3D mammogram machine, an enhanced emergency department with two oversized trauma bays, and more.Pioneer Cellular To Discontinue Cellular Operations By Sept. 30thBy Blake CallahamPioneer CellularPioneer Cellular has entered into an agreement with Verizon to ensure that their customers maintain connectivity as they discon-tinue cellular operations by September 30, 2023. Verizon began offering service in the Pioneer Cel-lular territory on July 7, 2023, and they look forward to offering Pioneer Cellular customers access to their network.During the transition period, Verizon will provide Pioneer Cellular customers an exclusive $50 credit per line and waive the activa-tion fee for all transfers. Customers can choose to bring their own device or consider any of the Verizon device offers. To check your device eligibility with Ve-rizon, go to https://www.ve-rizon.com/bring-your-own-device.Please continue to check https://gopioneer.com/wireless for informa-tion related to locations, hours and details about the transition period. Most of Pioneer Cellular customers are ready to transition, but some areas have a slight de-lay. To determine the readi-ness date, customers are asked to visit the Pioneer website and enter their mo-bile number to determine transition date readiness. Pioneer will discontinue its wireless service on Sep-tember 30, 2023, so custom-ers must transfer their ser-vice to Verizon or another provider before then. Ve-rizon has multiple locations available including several Pioneer Retail Locations in Canton, Enid, Kingﬁsher, Weatherford and Wood-ward. Please note that there is no impact to Pioneer Cellu-lar's broadband, telephone or iVideo customers. While this decision to shut down our cellular operations only impacts the wireless busi-ness, Pioneer believe this decision is necessary for the continued health of the re-maining businesses in their cooperative.Come For A Bite At The Historic Anthony TheatreBy J.K.

They worked on the farm together with their chil-dren and frequently had visits from nieces and nephews, who loved visiting. Dick had various boys that helped him on the farm that became part of the family as well.A respected member of the community, Dick served on the Harper High School Board and later the USD 361 Schools Board for 10 years, and the Danville Cooperative Association Board. He was proud of the time he served in the Navy and being on the school board when Chaparral High School was built. Dick was a member of the Harper United Methodist Church, Harper County Shrine, and the American Legion Jeff Long Post 104. He en-joyed playing cards, watching and attending K-State sports, his dogs and other animals, and spending time with grandchildren, family, and friends.Dick will be remembered by friends and family for his good sense of humor, common sense, patience, and love of children and animals.

Online condolences can be left at www.prairierosefuneralhomes.comObituary...Hal G. Greve1961 ~ 2023Hal Gene Greve, 62, passed away July 4, 2023 at Patterson Health Center. Survivors include his wife, Sher-yl; sons, Austin Greve, wife Kaitlyn, and their children Collins, Walker, and Banks; and Tanner Greve, wife Heidi, and their daughters, Piper and Sadie; brother, Dickey Joe Greve and wife Leigh Ann; uncle, Bob Greve and wife, Donna; as well as numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews. Hal Gene Greve was born in At-tica, Kansas on February 23, 1961, to parents, William H. “Bill” Greve and Donna Mae (Dickey) Greve. He graduated from Chaparral High School with the class of 1979. He then attended Garden City Commu-nity College and Oklahoma State University. On July 27, 1985, Hal married Sheryl LeValley in Braman, Oklaho-ma and they settled near Anthony, Kansas. Growing up on a farm near Free-port, Kansas, farming was in Hal’s blood. His favorite part of farming was undoubtedly operating a com-bine during wheat harvest and he would often talk about the good old days of custom harvesting with Bill and Donna when he was a kid. After college (*convincing Sheryl to marry him) he returned home to farm with his dad, Bill and brother, Dickey Joe near Freeport, Kansas. In 1995, he chose to follow another passion of his by opening his own photogra-phy studio in downtown Anthony, Hal’s Photography. In 2012, Hal and Sheryl opened Dough Daddy Daylight Donuts in Anthony. Those close to him were suspect of this idea as they knew he could barely microwave a pop tart let alone make a donut, but Hal said, “I may not know how to make a donut but I can follow instructions and that’s all you have to do” and do is what they did up until the time he started dialysis. Hal was a social person and en-joyed people of all ages, he never met a stranger and was frequently found downtown visiting with some-one or talking on the phone to one of his many buddies. Most of all he loved spending time with family, es-pecially his grandchildren. Giving his grandkids rides on his scooter was always a highlight of his day, especially if it was a slight inconve-nience for their parents.Funeral service was held 10:00 a.m. Saturday, July 8, 2023, at the Christian Church in Anthony, Kansas with Wren Robinson and Pastor Ron Eden ofciating. Wren sang “Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone).” “Hair of the Dog” by Nazareth was played as Hal left the sanctuary. Burial followed in the Freeport Cemetery, Freeport, Kansas. Hon-orary casket bearers were Collins Greve, Piper Greve, Walker Greve, Sadie Greve, and Banks Greve. Casket bearers were Austin Greve, Tanner Greve, Cameron Coady, Brent Cashier, Trevor Hughes, and Ben Cather. Memorials in memory of Hal may be made to the Harper County Health Foundation (for the Dialysis Unit) or the Anthony Public Library (for the Children Programs) and can be sent in care of Prairie Rose Funeral Home, 602 E. Main St., An-thony, KS 67003.
