SCTelcom is based in Medicine Lodge, KS but has satellite ofﬁces in Anthony, KS and Kiowa, KS. There were three other ﬁnalists in this category representing various other states. SCTelcom was cho-sen based on effectiveness, technical innovation, ﬁnan-cial & community impact, individual efforts in driving broadband investment and true innovation in address-ing the digital divide.SCTelcom has been pro-viding internet services in South Central Kansas and Northern Oklahoma since the early 2000’s. SCTel-com was originally South Central Telephone which was started in 1953 as a cooperative. Today, SCTel-com offers ﬁber broadband services in Barber, Harper, Kingman, Pratt and Reno counties with a team of 35 employees who live and work in the counties they serve. “This is a tremendous honor for SCTelcom.” Said SCTelcom CEO, Carla Shearer, “It’s a testament to our employees who are dedicated to providing fast, reliable internet to their friends, family and commu-nities.”This was the ﬁrst ever National broadband sum-mit held in the United States to bring together federal and state repre-sentatives with the wider broadband industry.

Dept. On Aging: Caregiving Day To DayBy Jennifer WolffYou don’t have to go far to ﬁnd a caregiver who is responsible for the care & upkeep of an older member of the family, spouse, adult child with disabilities or a friend. Caregiving takes time, effort & patience. Whether you are expecting to become a caregiver or have been thrust into the role overnight, there are organizations available to assist & provide informa-tion. In Harper County, the Aging Department & the Health Department are great places to start. We can refer you to a caseworker who will help assess your situation & provide options for assistance. We also have state funding for transpor-tation, bath aids & other ne-cessities. It’s important for caregivers to keep track of their own health & recruit/hire help to alleviate all of the caregiving responsibili-ties. Here are some ideas that can bring about posi-tive changes in your care-giver / receiver relationship:Establish routines that effectively meet your care receiver needs.Physical, speech & occu-pational therapy &/or exer-cise. Talk to your doctor to discuss options.Assistive devices like special eating utensils, lift chairs & walker/cane that increase independence & safety.Improved nutrition. Avoid foods high in satu-rated fats, sodium & sugar. Read labels, cook fresh when you can.Social interaction. Ar-range visits from friends & outings. Even a drive around town can refresh you both.Practice good hygiene. Keeping clean & fresh (body, hair & teeth) will prevent sores, skin irritations & keep you both feeling better.Vitamin D – get time in the sun to allow your skin to absorb Vitamin D which is required for calcium absorp-tion & use.Get large print & audio books to read/listen togeth-er.Choose A TV program to watch each day rather than having the TV going non-stop.Play music & “dance” – even if it’s in a chair. Clap-ping & arm waving will get the blood moving & boost endorphins.Try a new craft like wa-tercolor, crochet, ceramic painting.For more information & assistance, contact Jennifer at the Harper Co Dept on Aging 620-842-5104.The Public Transporta-tion Service assists ALL Harper Co residents of any age to stay indepen-dent with transportation Courtesy PhotoANNUAL RAKE AND RUN: The Kiwanis Family, Anthony K-Kids (4th-6th grade), Builder’s Club (7th & 8th grade), Key Club (High School) and the Anthony Kiwanis, teamed up for their Annual Rake and Run last Saturday in Anthony.to work, medical appoint-ments, shopping, errands, Patterson Health Center & locations less than 70 miles.

TANK tried to live by the Six Rules of Success, these are what helped keep him motivated. And while TANK isn’t here to follow through on the last rule, which is GIVE BACK, in TANK’s honor the family is doing this for him by rewarding the youth of Harper County.

Ladies from several different churches come together and discuss different Bible topics. They are cur-rently doing a study in Colossians. A free-will (not required) donation is taken up each week. The group has been able to help out several individuals and mission works throughout the years that they have been meeting. Most recently they were able to deliver a box of food items along with $150 to Obadiah’s Plenty, a local food pantry. The Community Bible Study group wants to invite you to join them. They are taking a break until after the holidays but will resume on January 15, 2024.
