Stillwater Medical Center in Blackwell has donated 2 IV pumps to Tonkawa Fire Department. These have an estimated value of $500 per pump and are a great benefit to our EMS capabilities. With these pumps we are able to administer IV medications during critical transports to area hospitals. This will greatly improve our ability to provide transport for our people as they need medical services that are not available locally. It is great to partner with SMC Blackwell to provide the best possible care for citizens.

Social Security Matters

Dear Rusty: My husband and I were only married 5 years before he passed away from cancer. I am 61 and was told by SS that I don’t qualify to receive his survivor benefits because we weren’t married long enough, and because I made more money than him when he was alive. I still work fulltime and plan to continue until my full retirement age. Am I able to collect any of his benefits? Why can his daughter collect his benefits, but I cannot? Signed: Frustrated Widow
