LL & G and on West Main to Springﬁeld. The city crew will put the banners up in November and again at Me-morial time for the next 3 years. The banners proudly Veterans And Active Service Members View Banners For“Anthony Honors” Projectrecognize active duty and veteran service members, living or deceased, and who are a current or past resi-dent of Anthony or related to a current or past resident of Anthony.The Anthony American Legion Auxiliary hosted an open house on Monday, September 2 for family members and sponsors of banners to get a “up close” view of the banners. It was an inspiring, emotional time. Out of the 63 ban-ners sponsored, 44 banners had family members and friends view the banners in person. While most of the attendees were from An-thony, retired Colonel Tracy L. Lear of Hawaii was visit-ing his mother, Mary Lear, and was able to view his banner before returning to Hawaii. Vicki Underwood from Wichita also made the trip along with her niece to view her dad, Charles Un-derwood, banner.Veteran Joe Wright and his wife, Barbara, were all smiling on viewing Joe’s banner. Joe served in the army during World War II from 9-13-44 to 2-24-46. He was a Prisoner of War and received the combat INF badge. Joe is one of our old-est living veterans in An-thony. A couple of years ago, one of the Veteran Salutes TV programs featured Joe on their TV program. They presented Joe with a $500 honorarium in apprecia-tion of his service. Barbara was such a believer in this project happening, they set aside some of the money from his honorarium to use to purchase his banner when the project did hap-pen.The street banner proj-ect idea began with the Anthony Chamber of Com-Photo By: Ross Downing/Anthony RepublicanANTHONY HONORS: Anthony resident Joe Wright, WWII Veteran and POW, was excited to see the banner that will hang in his honor on Main Street as part of the Anthony American Legion Auxilary’s street pole banner project.City Commissioners Approve Ordinance Calling ForElection To Sell Park LandOfﬁcial Meeting MinutesRegular MeetingSubmitted ByCity of Anthony ClerkAugust 20, 2024OPENINGWelcome / Call to Order.

Page 2 the Anthony Republican • September 4, 2024merce many years ago. Then executive chamber director, Gwen Warner pro-posed the project. While it did not become reality then, Gwen never gave up hope. After leaving the chamber ofﬁce, she became president of the Anthony American Legion Auxiliary. Under her direction, Gwen invited a speaker from Valley Cen-ter to tell our group about the Valley Center veteran banners. Many of the aux-iliary members had hoped for years this project could become a reality. A win-dow of opportunity opened when the city received a grant to purchase 55 pole brackets and city banners. One of the major hurdles of the Veteran and active service member banner project was the cost and installation of the brackets for the banners. Once the city had 55 brackets, cur-rent AALA president Joyce HONORS Continued from previous pageKaup asked and received permission from the city commissioners for approval for the project to use the city brackets and the city crew to hang the banners. In March, the AALA began distributing applications to those who had expressed interest in the program. We were aided in spreading the word by the Anthony Republican, the Chamber of Commerce, the D.A.R., the Anthony Community Empowerment committee, the P.E.O. ladies and the city. The initial goal was 20 banners for cost effective-ness. Once they reached that goal, the next goal was 39 followed by a goal of 55 to ﬁll all the current city brackets. When the project deadline of June 30 arrived, the group had exceeded the 55 brackets by 8. The Anthony Ameri-can Legion Auxiliary re-ceived a $1400 grant from the Harper County Com-munity Foundation to help toward the cost of the ad-ditional pole brackets and the Anthony Community Empowerment Committee (formerly Anthony PRIDE) agreed to pay for 8 addi-tional city banners to ﬁll the brackets when the Vet-erans banners were not on display. The funding for the service members banners came from their families and friends purchasing a banner to honor their spe-cial veteran or active ser-vice member. Besides the family sponsored banners, the P.E.O. sponsored the banner of current service member, Sgt. Kandace J. Grijalva, daughter of P.E.O. member Katie Christenson & Tony Christenson. John Walker & Frank Hargett sponsored fellow 67 class member, Greg Catherwood (RIP), and the Church of Christ honored current Na-tional Guard member, SSG Matthew W. Reed. The banners include veterans and active ser-vice members from WW I & II, the Korean & Vietnam Conﬂict, the cold war years, the Persian Gulf War, and the Global War on Terror which includes many con-ﬂicts during these years. They include service mem-bers from the Army, Army Air Corps, Air Force, Ma-rines, Navy, Seabees, Coast guard, and National Guard & Reserves. The banners represent a cross section of young people – some just out of high school – who served their country honor-ably. Please take a moment to observe their banners and think of all the sacri-ﬁces made for our Freedom here in America thru the years and give thanks for those who continue to pro-tect our freedom.In no order, you will see banners for Col.

We also greatly appre-ciate the Harper County Community Foundation and the Anthony Commu-nity Empowerment com-mittee whose ﬁnancial as-sistance helped us extend the project from 55 to 63 banners. We recognize and thank the City of Anthony for their cooperation in al-lowing this project to hap-pen. We know without their willingness to hang and re-move the banners twice a year this project would not have been possible.

On Aging: TEFAP Food Commodities Available September 26thBy Jennifer WolffGood news! We ALL have the capacity to in-crease muscle strength at any age! Muscle ﬁber, & thereby strength, begins to decrease after the age of 50 & decreases more rapidly after the age of 70. This can be associated with a gen-eral reduction in physical activity. Weakness & disuse are reversible at all ages. A weak, shufﬂing gait in-creases your risk of fall due to tripping or unsteadiness/inability to recover loss of balance. Did you know falls are the #1 cause of ER visits at Patterson Health Cen-ter for seniors in Harper County? Increased strength of quadriceps has a direct relationship to gait & gives the person both the speed & ability to use the "heel-toe" action with conﬁdence. Weight bearing exercises reduce the risk of osteoporo-sis by improving bone den-sity. Join us at Tuesdays To-gether on Sept 17th in the Patterson Health Center's Meeting Room to hear from Michelle Overton, PT As-sistant, what exercises spe-ciﬁcally increase strength & balance to help prevent falls. She will be giving thor-ough instructions & hand-outs for you to use at home. Also, we will talk about how to use assistive devices like a walker & cane effectively. See you at 11:30 on Septem-ber 17th!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.
