The Anthony American Legion Auxiliary will con-tinue their tradition that day by distributing the poppy in exchange for a donation. This is one of the most widely recognized American Legion Auxiliary programs. Since 1919, the American Legion Hosting Memorial Day ServicesALA Ladies Continue Tradition Of Poppy DayAmerican Legion Auxiliary has provided support for veterans, service members, and their families. Anthony American Legion mem-bers will be on the streets and in the businesses on Friday with the bright red crepe paper poppies that are made by our hospital-ized veterans. This provides the veteran with a small wage, and physical and mental activity provides many therapeutic beneﬁts. A new addition this year is the Poppy “Honor Their Service” Can. You will ﬁnd it on participating business counters thru out the week-end. Please help ﬁll the can with comfort and love by ﬁlling it with your change or folding money. Give what you “can.”Your donation will go to assist disabled and hos-pitalized veterans. In ad-dition to the funds raised for our living veterans, by wearing the poppy, you will be honoring every service member who died in the name of liberty, freedom, and democracy in all wars, including the global war on terrorism. Poppy day falls on the Friday before Memo-rial Day, which this year, is Monday, May 27, 2024. This day is set aside to honor de-ceased veterans and loved ones. The poppy is a re-minder to our community of the continuing need of our veterans.Donations are used ex-clusively to assist and sup-port our veterans and their families both locally and nationally. In the past, our Anthony auxiliary has used the donations for projects at the Kansas Veteran’s American Legion Post 54 will be conducting Me-morial Day Services on Monday, May 27, 2024.

Page 4 the Anthony Republican • May 22, 2024Obituary...Bradley Scott Inslee1963 ~ 2024Scott as he was known, was born in Attica, Kansas on April 22nd, 1963 to Everett Joe and Vicky Di-ane (Ruff) Inslee. Scott was a wel-come addition for his sister Tammy Jo. The family added another sister three years later, Cathy Lynn. Scott’s early years were spent in Sharon and Attica until his parents divorced when he was in the 3rd grade. Scott rst moved to Wichita with his mom and sisters. They would eventually settle in Roa-noke, Texas. He said he hated the 3rd grade because they moved so much that year.Some of his favorite childhood memories were made in Roanoke. He met his lifelong friend Adrian “Boo Boo” Womack. Scott had sev-eral stories about camping out, rid-ing bikes, and dirt bikes at Marshall Creek. He loved to talk about the trailer park they lived at in Roanoke and all the friends and the trouble he got into. No matter what was going on, Scott always made sure to catch up with Boo when he was back in Roa-noke. Scott graduated from North-west High School in Justin, Texas in 1982. He worked around the Dallas/Fort Worth area for about a year af-ter graduating. Scott then moved back to At-tica, it was where he had spent his summers and holidays growing up. It was those summers spent with his dad Everett that Scott learned how to operate bulldozers, dragline, grader, tractor, and drive a semi-truck. Scott moved in with his dad and started working for him full time. He had a 72 Nova at that time. Working for his dad he was able to upgrade to a 74 Corvette. In his free time, he hung-out with friends at Sharon, At-tica, and Medicine Lodge. Scott lived in Sharon and Attica while he worked for his dad. In 1988 he moved to Medicine Lodge where he worked for Clark Oileld. On January 10th 1989 Scott welcomed Michael Scott. It was then that Everett began talking to Scott about coming back to work for him and owning part of the busi-ness. Unfortunately, less than a month later on February 9th, 1989 Everett was killed in a car wreck. Scott decided to buy some of his dad’s equipment and his house. In April 1989 he moved back to Attica and started Inslee Dozer Service. It was hard at rst to make ends meet and he always said he had to work 15 years to get his rst vacation. Everything worked out, because In-slee Dozer Service was in business for 30 years. On June 16th, 1993 Scott was handed a piece of paper the name Brayden Joseph written on it. But af-ter a high-risk delivery and his new baby in the NICU, he misplaced the paper and named the baby Bran-don Joe, “close” he said. In his free time Scott loved go-ing to the Sand Dunes at Little Sa-hara State Park in Waynoka, Okla-homa during the spring and fall. He discovered Beaver Lake in Arkan-sas in 2003 and was able to make it there a few times each summer. The trips to the dunes and lake al-ways included the kids and eventu-ally grandkids.Scott traveled to many places in his RVs over the years. He saw places he had never imagined visit-ing. In the last few years Scott found a love for mountain biking. He said it was his “cheapest” hobby. Scott moved to Queen Creek, Arizona and it was there that he took his own life after a short battle with untreated severe depression. Scott is preceded in death by his parents, Everett Joe Inslee and Vicky Diane (Ruff) Judge; grand-parents Dale and Zelma (Rucker) Inslee; John and Margaret (Bieber-stein) Ruff.Scott is survived by his children Josh Richmeier, Attica; Sarah (Der-ek) Newberry, Attica; Michael In-slee, Enid OK; and Brandon Inslee, Wichita. Grandkids Julia Richmeier, Wichita; Tristan, Laura, Axl, and Colt Richmeier, Attica; Calli New-berry, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Brekah Newberry, Attica. Sisters; Tammy (Ken) Fincher, Boyd, TX; Kathy (John) Roth, Queen Creek, Arizona. Nephew Jeremy Fincher, Boyd, TX; Nieces Stephanie (Jeff) Dvorak, Justin, Texas; Jacquelyn (Sean) Wilson, San Tan Valley, Ari-zona; Jourdan Roth, Queen Creek, Arizona. Aunt Peggy (Bud) Salter, Oregon, Illinois.A private inurnment will take place at the Attica Cemetery. The family invites those who knew Scott to a celebration of life on June 1st, 2024 at 10:30 AM, at the Attica Memorial Building in At-tica, Kansas. A meal will be served at 11:00 AM and the family invites you to stay and visit afterwards.

Yogi was born in Waterbury, Connecticut on September 26, 1932. His older brothers having a great inuence in his life, allowed him to join the Army instead of graduating from High School. He was stationed at Fort Riley Kansas, home of the Big Red One. Yogi met Le Vona Allen, a K-State student in Manhattan, Kan-sas in 1952. After a three year courtship, they were married in Waterbury, Connecticut on January 5, 1955. Their marriage of sixty-four years came to an end with Le Vo-na’s passing in 2019. To this union a daughter, Debra Jean was born in 1956. Yogi had many jobs. From the Army, he went to the Waterbury Police Department until moving to Kansas in 1961. He held some odd jobs, and eventually became a po-liceman in Anthony, Kansas. A 1960 back injury did not allow him to ride around in a police car, so he held some other odd jobs in carpentry, town-to-town mail delivery, etc. The Anthony Farmers Coop hired him to deliver fuel to its rural customers and eventually moved him into the store which he retired from in 1994, at the age of 62. He had several hobbies of sh-ing, hunting, trap shooting, garden-ing, camping, caring for animals and his favorite hobby: his grand-children. He is preceded in death by his parents, Elmer Hubbard Sr and Elizabeth (Daley) Hubbard; two brothers Junior and Swede; two brother-in-laws John and Harold Allen; sister-in-law Cleta Allen; four nephews; two nieces; and most of his shing, hunting, and trapshoot-ing buddies. He said it was hard to outlive your family and friends. Yogi is survived by his daughter Debbie Hateld; son-in-law Howard Hateld; grandson Brian Hateld; granddaughter Lauren Hateld and signicant other Mamadou Djamel Doumbia; two rst cousins Patti O’Day Larson and Dolores Harris; special nephew Jerrold Allen and special nieces Lisa Morris and Mar-la Allen; other family and friends. The graveside service will be held on Sunday, May 26th at 2:00 p.m. at the Forest Park Cemetery, Anthony Kansas. Bring your favor-ite story of Yogi. Burial will be a private ceremo-ny at a later date. In lieu of owers, memorial do-nations may be given to the Antho-ny Fireghters Association or the Anthony Community Care Center and sent in care of the mortuary.

Soldiers returning from WWI brought home the ﬂow-ers in memory of the barren landscape transformed by the sudden growth of wild red poppies among the new-ly dug graves. The poppy became the symbol for free-dom and the blood sacriﬁced by our troops during war. Lt. Col. John McCrae wrote a poem – In Flanders Fields. The poem refers to the pop-pies that grew out of newly dug soldiers’ graves. Part of the poem described: If ye break faith with us who die – We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Fields. This poem then led to the vow by Moina Mi-chael, a teacher from Geor-gia, to keep the promise by always wearing a red poppy to honor those who died. The American Legion Auxil-iary adopted the poppy as its memorial ﬂower in 1921 and started the auxiliary annual tradition in 1924 to distrib-ute millions of poppies, most handmade by disabled vet-erans, in exchange for do-nations that go directly to assist disabled and hospital-ized veterans in our commu-nities. National Poppy Day is this Friday, May 24, 2024. The Anthony American Le-gion Auxiliary will have pop-pies available in our commu-nity. Please, donate to this worthwhile cause and wear a poppy in honor of our cur-rent soldiers, veterans, and deceased loved ones.The American Legion Auxiliary members also ask that on Monday, May 27, 2024, you pause at 3 pm in an act of symbolic unity, to have a moment of silence in honor of the men and wom-en of the United States who died in the pursuit of free-dom and peace. This Na-tional Moment of Remem-brance Act was declared in 2000 by U.S. President Clin-ton.

WEC’s member servic-es team received a Silver Award in Best External Event for our 75th anni-versary celebration at the 2023 Annual Meeting and a second Silver Award for Best Wild Card, for a life-size historical display showcasing co-op history at the same event. The 2023 event held April 26 in Scott City, Kan-sas, and in seven additional remote meeting locations across WEC’s service terri-tory, was attended in record numbers by co-op members across southwest and cen-tral Kansas. In this year’s NRECA Spotlight Awards, WEC competed with just under 180 other electric co-ops, representing nearly 40 out of 50 states, which made more than 800 submissions into various award catego-ries. The theme of WEC’s award-winning event – “Feel the Power” – reﬂected 75 years of shared coopera-tive history with the mem-bership. WEC received its ofﬁcial charter from the Ru-ral Electriﬁcation Adminis-tration in 1948. Member Services, with the help of additional coop-erative employees, put to-gether a special publication and life-size historical dis-play in Scott City reﬂecting the co-op’s many decades of service to community and rich history as part of the event. Both the publica-tion and exhibit featured historical documents and artifacts. A copy of the spe-cial publication (our 2023 Annual Report) is available online at www.weci.net/an-nual-meeting for viewing. “I am extremely proud of Member Services and the work they’ve done to catalogue and document our rich co-op history,” said Bruce W. Mueller, WEC’s CEO/general manager. “Be-cause of their strong com-munication efforts, we will be able to share our Wheat-land story and carry out our cooperative mission for decades to come.” The communications team is led by Alli Conine, director of member services and corporate communi-cations, and also includes the following staff mem-bers: Samantha Garcia and Mary Hoisington, both member services and key accounts managers; and Shajia Donecker, social me-dia specialist. The WEC employees will be recognized at the CONNECT Conference in Baltimore, Md., a national conference for communica-tions and marketing profes-sionals in the cooperative electric industry in early May. Donecker will accept the award and participate in this annual professional development opportunity. The annual Spotlight on Excellence Awards pro-gram recognizes the best communication and mar-keting efforts by electric cooperatives and related organizations nationwide. More than 800 entries were submitted across 20 differ-ent categories, including writing, graphic design, digital communications, campaign development and more.
