Included in the event is a Food and Beer Garden, sev-eral Obstacle Course Races, A fund raising event for History Makers Interna-tional, and a concert by J. Michael Music. Races start at 4 pm and the concert starts at 7 pm. Everyone is invited to come watch and if you are feeling like giv-ing the course a try, then you can still sign up for the race.In the past couple of years Obstacle Course Rac-ing, OCR, has been growing in popularity and will be seen as an event in the next Olympics. While we don’t anticipate any Olympians at our humble little event you will see some incred-ible efforts by ordinary peo-ple striving to be stronger and better than yesterday. There are 3 different races to sign up for.The ﬁrst is a 5K indi-vidual starting at 4pm. This will be your chance to compete against some pretty talented OCR Rac-ers coming from 4 differ-ent states. There is only one winner for the men’s race and one winner for the women’s race. But you don’t have to be fast to sign up. Just completing this course will be something to be proud of. There are 14 obstacles in this course. Obstacles are everything from climbing over a big round haybale to throwing a spear at a target. If you can’t complete an obstacle, then there is either a pen-alty lap or 15 burpees. You will get wet, and your shoes will be muddy when you are done with this race. The winner will be presented with the prestigious Muddy Water Boasting Board at our Grand Winners Circle. A beautiful handmade cut-ting board crafted by our lo-cal artisan Chris Mathews, this is a wall worthy award for sure.The second is the 2 Mile Age Group starting around 5pm. This is much the same as the 5k except, well, shorter. It also only has 11 obstacles and winners are determined by gender and age. Winners of this event are presented at said Grand Winners Circle with the Muddy Water Hammer of Glory (also crafted by Chris Mathews at his Fat-bird Food Board Studios)The third event is the 5K Relay. This is the 5K race broken up into six ½ mile legs with a couple of obsta-cles for each leg. There will be some tough teams this year, but also some friends just having fun. The Men’s Team and Women’s (4 or more women on the team) will be presented with not only the Boasting Board, but also 6 Hammers of Glory for each of the team members.After the ﬁnal team comes in, we will have the Grand Winners Circle Presentations and all eat, drink, and listen to J. Mi-chael Music. J. Michael is a solo singer-song writer who plays many genres and is sure to provide great enter-tainment into the night as Patterson Health Center Can Now Treat Snake BitesBy Paul MancillaSpecial to Patterson Health CenterIn a matter of seconds, snake venom can travel from fangs, to the skin and into the blood stream.It's imperative that any-one who is bit by a ven-omous snake get medical attention as soon as pos-sible, preferably within 30 minutes. A new snake bite medication at Patterson Health Center is set to help get the medication into the system quickly, so patients can avoid more long-term effects.The medication, called ANAVIP, treats patients in minutes. It boosts your im-mune system, counteracts the venom in your system from moving through the body, and it helps stop ne-crosis - the death of cells in the body tissue."People spend a lot of time outside, so we hope this offers a peace of mind," said Crissa Cox, RN, Direc-tor of Nursing for Emergen-cy and Trauma Services at PHC.PHC has looked into get-ting antivenom in the past, but the options were lim-ited. The prior medication would take longer to pre-pare and it was more costly.ANAVIP only takes a few minutes to prepare. It was just introduced in larg-er hospitals, like Ascension Via Christi in Wichita.PHC will keep the med-ication on hand, as the emergency department has reported at least one ven-omous snake bite per year.If someone is bit by a snake, Cox recommends they do the following:* Call 911 or have some-one drive them to the near-est hospital;* Lightly wrap the bite with bandages or a shirt;* If possible, try to take a photo of the snake or re-member what the snake looks like;* Mark the swelling in case it increases before medical staff has a chance to assess it;* Do NOT attempt to suck or abstract the venom from the wound;* If possible, stay calm and keep the wound below the heart.Be cautious of all venom-ous snakes, but especially the young snakes. They tend to be unable to control their venom dispersion."We are thankful to have ANAVIP," Cox said. She encourages the word to be spread about the antive-nom."Awareness is key!"Courtesy PhotoTREATING SNAKE BITES: A new snake bite medication is now available at PHC to patients for quick availability.GRANT Continued on next pageCourtesy PhotoOBSTACLE COURSE: A contestant from last year’s Muddy Water Obstacle Course shows how to complete one of the obstacles during the event.

Line: Telephone Wars Join the Party Line(Episode 1)By Cary MathesWe’ll get to the “Episode” headline later, but let’s get the party started (pun deﬁ-nitely intended) with a bit of history regarding the magniﬁcent invention of the telephone. This amazing in-vention is only exceeded by electricity and the bathroom ventilating fan. Good ‘ole Mr. Bell re-ceived a patent for the phone in March of 1876 and a few days later started the ball rolling with, “Mr. Wat-son, come here – I want to see you.” In full disclosure, Watson, an electrical engi-neer, was in another room in the same house as Bell. Heck, my better half would not have needed a phone to communicate her wishes if I had been downstairs in the basement with the door closed.Anyhoo, let’s fast forward a bunch to the 1950’s when all iterations of phones had evolved to “rotary dial” phones that came in your choice of colors of either black, or black. Southwest-ern Bell had ofﬁce build-ings set up to assist callers with information or to con-nect long distance call re-quests. You could not make a long distance call on your own – you had to dial “0” and ask for operator assis-tance. Long distance calls were pricey and regarded as a non-essential luxury; and you’d better keep it under 3 minutes or you’d have some explaining to do. It was even considered to be a long distance call from Harper to Anthony. Just when you thought 9 miles was not all that far.Out in the country we had “Party Lines,” although there was no fanfare nor birthday cake or candles associated with the phone line you shared with half a dozen other households. If the phone rang more than a couple of times a day it was unusual, but you have to remember that everyone’s phone on the party line rang even when the call wasn’t in-tended for you. You just had to know which particular se-ries of rings were designated as your cue to pick it up (in today’s lingo that would be your “ring tone.”) It could be ring patterns that included 2 long rings accompanied by 1 short ring, or 2 short rings followed by 1 long ring, or let your imagination consider the possibilities. I remem-ber ours was 2 shorts fol-lowed by 2 shorts and then a pause and a repeat.Sharing one line proved to surprise on occasion when you inadvertently picked up on a ring that wasn’t yours or when you wanted to make a call, picked up the receiver, and realized that somebody was already on the line talk-ing to someone else. And yes, there were “eaves-droppers” who dropped in out of er-ror, boredom, or nosiness to take in your fascinating discussions on the weather, the price of wheat, or who you saw at the grocery store. You knew because you could hear a click when another phone was picked up, or hung up, which led to one being careful about what you said about your neigh-bors or your preacher.Next Episode: “Back to the Future” – a conversation with today’s teen.Dept. On Aging: Durable Medical Equipment & Medicare OptionsBy Jennifer WolffOpen enrollment for Medicare options is quickly approaching. Most users will only be considering changes to their Part D pharmacy plans. Pro tip: make an ap-pointment with your phar-macy to discuss your current drug plan & medications. Your pharmacist will be able to help you make an in-formed decision based on up-coming changes to coverage. We have recently received several inquiries regard-ing wheelchairs & walkers being covered by Medicare. Part B Medicare covers 2 types of services: medically necessary services & pre-ventive services. Medically necessary services that are needed to diagnose or treat your medical condition & that meet accepted stan-dards of medical practice. This includes clinical re-search, ambulance services, durable medical equipment (DME) & mental health (in-patient & outpatient). Du-rable medical equipment is equipment that helps an in-dividual complete their daily activities. This includes a va-riety of items such as walk-ers, wheelchairs, hospital bed, power scooter & oxygen tanks. Prosthetics like artiﬁ-cial arms & legs & orthotics like semi-rigid back & neck braces are covered under Part B. Medicare usually covers DME if the equip-ment:-Is durable, meaning it is able to withstand repeated use-Serves a medical pur-pose-Is appropriate for use in the home, although an indi-vidual can also use it outside the home-Is likely to last for 3+ yearsTo be covered by Part B, DME must be prescribed by your primary care pro-vider. If someone is in a skilled nursing facility or is a hospital inpatient, DME is covered by Part A. Always coordinate DME with your primary care provider & your DME supplier. Do not purchase DME on your own & expect Medicare to reim-burse you. Medicare will not cover equipment that is in-tended to make things more convenient or comfortable like grab bars, air condition-ers, toilet & shower seats. The Aging Ofﬁce might be able to help acquire those items for Caregivers & low Harper CountyMeeting MinutesOfﬁcial Meeting MinutesRegular MeetingSubmitted By HarperCounty Clerk’s OfﬁceAugust 21, 2023The Harper County Board of County Commis-sioners met in regular ses-sion, with Chairman Struble calling the meeting to order with Commissioner Wald-schmidt and Commissioner Vornauf.
