Residents and businesses will soon have access to SCTelcom’s reliable ﬁber network, pro-viding residents and busi-nesses in the service area with outstanding internet performance for a variety of online activities, as well as increased productivity and efﬁciency. “We are delighted to ex-pand SCTelcom’s advanced ﬁber network to additional areas in rural Harper Coun-ty. Broadband access is a necessity of life, not a lux-ury. Bringing this essential technology to rural Harper County continues our record of providing critical telecom-munication services that enhance economic develop-ment and quality of life,” said CEO Carla Shearer.Widely acknowledged as the fastest and most reliable internet technology avail-able today, ﬁber’s glass-like strands can transmit in-ternet data at close to light speed. Once SCTelcom’s cus-tomers sign up for service and installation, subscribers will receive unparalleled in-ternet performance. Older forms of internet, such as cable, satellite, and DSL just cannot match ﬁber’s superi-or materials and technology, which power its exceptional speeds and reliability. Additionally, ﬁber also delivers more generous bandwidth than compet-ing forms of internet. High bandwidth, which relates to the quantity of data an in-ternet connection can trans-fer at any one time, is essen-tial for homes with multiple simultaneous TV and movie streamers. Fiber’s greater bandwidth also makes video calling far clearer, online gaming more seamless, and downloading and uploading videos and other large ﬁles much faster.Similarly, Harper Coun-ty’s businesses will also beneﬁt considerably from SCTelcom’s ﬁber. With ﬁ-ber’s far greater maximum download speeds compared to cable, DSL or satellite internet, businesses and their team members can be much more productive and efﬁcient. Through increased multitasking, improved con-nectivity to customers, and distortion-free video con-ferencing, small businesses will notice ﬁber’s superior service almost instantly. SCTelcom offers several internet package options for an exceptional user experi-ence which include whole-home managed Wi-Fi, virus USD 361 Staff Given Runner Nation EDU Awards For Outstanding ContributionsUnofﬁcial Minutes from the USD #361 Board of Education MeetingMonday, June 3, 2024Regular MeetingRoll Call / Pledge ofAllegianceBoard Members Pres-ent: Jan Misak, Bret Walker, RoseAnn Teel, Dusty Al-bright, Lindsay Zimmerman, Samantha Troyer.

Buildings & Grounds Dept.: In the last 30 days the transformer swap has been completed. The total outage time for electricity was 3 ½ days for completion. Deep cleans are ongoing in the buildings, work is on schedule to be able to begin hall ﬂoors in July. Basket-ball camps have begun, one auto scrubber will be moved to CHS to help maintain the commons and gym ﬂoors. The football ﬁeld has been over seeded to continue the process of complete bermuda grass on the ﬁeld.

They are committed to building vibrant, connected communities through inno-vative services.SCHOOL Continued from previous pageing our blood borne patho-gens and global harmoniza-tion training. Along with maintaining the grounds, we will work on completing the fence for the grass areas for CHS to prevent parking. Work will also be ongoing at HES to convert ﬂuorescent ballasted lights to LED’s. Technology Dept.: In re-cent months, our Technol-ogy Department has made progress on several key ini-tiatives. We hosted the El-evate Educators Conference with a participation of 30 at-tendees, which contributed to our ongoing commitment to professional development. Our team also managed the logistics surrounding the electricity outage at CHS, ensuring continuous access to internet resources dur-ing this period. Nex-Tech se-cured state permits on May 24th for the replacement of 4 miles of ﬁber WAN which was contracted out to DLS. This necessary infrastruc-ture upgrade will be covered under our existing mainte-nance contract, incurring no additional costs to the school. These efforts collec-tively enhance our educa-tional support and network stability, aligning with our strategic goals to improve district-wide operations.Transportation Dept.: We ended the year strong! In my ﬁrst year, we faced some challenges and adjustments, but our team came together and overcame them success-fully. Several team members stepped up to cover trips and substitute on routes, en-suring smooth operations. I truly appreciate their dedi-cation and hard work in pro-viding safe transportation for the children of Chapar-ral Schools. Our end-of-year celebration was a great suc-cess, with a fantastic turn-out. We recognized employ-ees for their Years of Service, Attendance, and named our Employee of the Year. These acknowledgments reﬂect our commitment to appreci-ating and valuing the efforts of our outstanding team. At the shop, we've begun sum-mer maintenance, thorough-ly inspecting and preparing our vehicles for the August KHP inspections. This pro-active approach ensures everything is in top condi-tion for the upcoming school year. This summer, we are running seven routes, cov-ering Spark, ESY, and KSD programs, maintaining our commitment to providing reliable and safe transpor-tation year-round. May Ac-tivity (non rt) miles: Yellow ﬂeet - 3,330; White ﬂeet - 3,177. May trips: 53 trips us-ing 69 vehicles.Food Service Dept.: In May, we had a quieter month with fewer updates due to its shorter duration. We completed our end-of-year cleaning and then the staff enjoyed some time off. Now, the focus shifts to sum-mer meals, starting on June 3rd, followed by a summer food audit the next week. I am conﬁdent this audit will be as successful as the last. Additionally, I am working on the menus for August and September, aiming to ﬁnish them by the end of June.Chaparral Jr/Sr High School Principal: Chapar-ral Jr Sr High School is pleased to report an overall improvement in our state assessment scores for both math and reading, with four students achieving perfect SCHOOL Continued on next pagePRINTING • SHIRTSBANNERS • SIGNSLD’s Printing • 620-842-5129

This progress reﬂects our commitment to increas-ing academic rigor and ex-cellence. As we prepare for summer school, we are fo-cused on providing oppor-tunities for credit recovery and enrichment, with 34 high school students identi-ﬁed as candidates for credit recovery and 14 students enrolled in SPARK and 13 in ESL summer programs. These efforts are part of our broader strategy to support student success and partici-pation in a variety of edu-cational activities. Looking ahead, we are actively coor-dinating summer schedules and addressing facility work requests to ensure a smooth transition into the next aca-demic year. Finalizing hir-ing positions remains a pri-ority, as we aim to enhance our recruitment process.Chaparral Jr/Sr High AP/AD: Junior Dalen Blair took 7th place at the state SCHOOL Continued from previous pagetrack meet in the 110m hur-dles. Sophomore Ty Hadsall earned honorable mention all league outﬁelder. Junior Conner Hostetler earned 1st team all league inﬁeld-er and honorable mention pitcher. Gracie Drouhard earned honorable mention all league inﬁelder.AES Principal: We've made great progress in aligning our current activi-ties with our main goals. Finalizing hirings helps us expand our recruitment process, improve leadership skills. This means we can at-tract and keep talented staff, which improves education quality, employee satisfac-tion, and overall morale. Our requisition process focuses on using funds efﬁciently, solving facility issues, and improving the quality of education for our students. The student handbook is important for building trust within the district and in-creasing student satisfac-tion. Clear guidelines and policies create a transpar-ent and supportive learning environment, leading to bet-ter student engagement and success. Lastly, our success in state assessments helps us identify strengths and areas needing improvement in academics. This aligns with our goals of increas-ing academic rigor, involv-ing the community more, and building trust between the school and the commu-nity. These efforts collec-tively support our mission of being efﬁcient, fostering growth for both employees and students, and creating a stronger, more engaged com-munity.HES Principal: I'm pleased to share our recent efforts that align with our goals. We are ﬁnalizing hir-ing, showing our commit-ment to getting the best teachers and staff, which helps improve leadership and employee satisfaction. This also helps us handle facility challenges by ensur-ing we have enough staff to meet students' needs. As we get ready for summer school and start summer projects, we're focused on making learning more rigorous and using our resources wisely. Summer school helps boost academic achievement and prepares students for the next school year, celebrating their growth and excellence.Culture & Climate Dept.: The Runner Nation EDU Awards for 2023-24 recog-nized outstanding contri-butions in three categories: Connector of the Year: Key-sha Wilson; Teammate of the Year: Sunny Reed; Innovator of the Year: Brittany Randle-man. Also, the Inclusive MTSS Interventions Sur-vey (IMIS) was successfully completed on May 6 with a total of 81 respondents from the faculty and staff across all three buildings and the district ofﬁce. The survey as-sessed categories including Behavior and Social Emo-tional Systems, Leadership, Math, and Reading. Results were thoughtfully reviewed and discussed by the build-ing leadership teams during a dedicated data dive day on May 22. The analysis of the survey data reveals some signiﬁcant observations. Anthony Elementary has shown a slight improvement in the implementation of both reading and math strat-egies. Harper Elementary has successfully maintained its reading level implemen-tation. Moreover, Chaparral Jr/Sr High School has made progress in behavior, social, and emotional implementa-tion.

His family moved to Kingman, Kansas where he attended Kingman High School. It was here he found his love of music, singing in the choir and madrigals. He went on to study at Hutchinson Community College where he furthered his interest in music and was asked to be a part of a choir that toured Europe and sang for Queen Elizabeth. He also received his Fire Science Degree from HCC. Chris was an active member of the Anthony Christian Church. He loved his church family and served as a Deacon, Board Member, and on the Safety Team. He continued to use his voice throughout his life giving back to the Lord as a mem-ber of his church’s praise and wor-ship team. Chris worked for the City of Anthony for many years. He also worked for local farmers, at the Cot-ton Gin, and had his own business providing lawn care and handyman jobs.

Bell1938 ~ 2024Geneva Louise Bell, 86, passed away Saturday afternoon, June 22, 2024, surrounded by her loving family.Geneva was born in Anthony, Kansas and attended Bluff City High School before moving to Wel-lington as a young graduate ready to experience the “big city” life. Ge-neva lived a full life to the end. She was a modern woman of the early 1960s working a full-time job along with raising two daughters and managing her family. She began working as a bank teller and later an appraiser for farm properties. Geneva and her husband looked forward to the weekends with fam-ily and friends, and packed in those days with camping, shing and water sports. After an early retire-ment, she and her husband worked on many projects at the farm while always maintaining a large gar-den, raising cattle, and harvesting their wheat in the summers. After her husband passed, Geneva bus-ied herself with more family time, puzzles, gardening, and fun times at the senior center playing cards and bingo. She loved reading cookbooks and trying new recipes. Her deviled eggs and fudge brown-ies were always a treat at a family gathering. Geneva will be missed, but she has left many long-lasting memories with her family.She is survived by daughter Robin Burnside (Philip) Valley Cen-ter; sisters Janet Whaley, Welling-ton, and Linda Jefferson, Denver, CO; and a brother-in-law Glenn Bell, Wichita. Geneva was pre-ceded in death by her husband of 63 years Raymond Dean Bell, her parents Jack and Alma Armstrong, a daughter Rhonda Lewallen, and a sister LaVonne Slivocka. Geneva has four grandchildren: Drew Mor-ris (Nick), Princeton, MO; Lynne Davidson (Mark), Wichita; Alex Warren (Katie), Wichita; and Grant Warren (Mac), Wichita. Geneva has ve great-grandchildren: Cai-lynn, Kinslee, Mason, Dane, and Andie, and numerous nieces and nephews. The family will celebrate her life in a private gathering. A memorial has been established in Geneva’s name for the Wineld Senior Cen-ter. Contributions may be made through Miles Funeral Service in Wineld, Kansas.Online condolences may be made at www.milesfuneralservice.com.elds for Anthony Recreation. His grandsons were the apple of his eye and he adored them to no end. They were just beginning to learn about his care and guidance. This year he was coaching grandson Colt’s ball team when his health began to decline. His family will always cherish all the fond memo-ries they made together at the ball elds, which is why they have cho-sen Anthony Recreation as his me-morial recipient. Chris would want every child to be able to experience the excitement and importance of being part of a team. Chris was preceded in death by his parents, Clair E Duwe and Rita M. Weibert; and his grandparents, Herbert E. and Izola C. Duwe and Wesley and Eunice Livings. Chris leaves behind to con-tinue his legacy his children: Ja-rod Duwe (Britta), Zacharie Duwe (Paige Wallace), and Josie Duwe (Dalton Benson); grandsons, Colt Duwe and Creed Benson; sisters, Tamara Messier (Dustin) and Te-resa Ziegler (Raymond); longtime companion, Kandi Eslinger and children, Jaden and Jaci; aunt and uncle, Alta and Hans Krisch; sev-eral nieces, nephews, cousins; and many dear friends. Funeral service was held 10:30 a.m. Thursday, June 20, 2024 at the Christian Church in Anthony, Kansas with Pastor Ron Eden and Pastor Eddie Bradley presiding.

On Aging: Senior Meal Services Available In Harper CountyBy Jennifer WolffIn Harper County we have 3 Senior Meal oppor-tunities Monday – Friday. Anthony Friendship Meals is managed by Aging Proj-ects Inc in Hutchinson with a local manager & cook, Em-ily plus 2 kitchen staff & volunteers. Attica & Harper Senior Meals are county pro-vided programs with meals catered by Country Girl Market in Harper. Each lo-cation has a part time man-ager & volunteers. Menus are posted monthly & allow participants the ﬂexibility of enjoying a hot lunch daily or just on the days they prefer. All 3 programs rely on state & county tax funding in ad-dition to the requested $4 donation per meal. Many meal programs across the state did not survive the Covid crisis due to lack of funding, participation & in-creased food & utility costs. It’s amazing that a county our size has THREE meal programs to serve the se-niors in our community. On average, over 120 seniors eat in or receive delivered meals in Harper County. For many, this is their one prepared meal a day. This is also the one time they see a friendly face when their meal is de-livered. Many won’t accept services because their in-come doesn’t allow for a $4 donation. Please know none of our programs will deny a meal to someone who needs it. These programs rely on volunteer delivery staff. If you are looking for a way to serve your community, please consider talking to the local senior meal man-ager about a weekly deliv-ery shift or donate towards someone in need of meals for a week, a month or more. All of our participants are a mom, a dad, an uncle or aunt, a forgotten grandpar-ent or teacher. Regardless, we need your help to keep our programs viable.
