KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at 15% of power, limiting its signal strength and range in the Amarillo-Canyon area. This due to complicated problems with its very old transmitter. Local engineers are continuing to work on the transmitter and are consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR Mix service or HPPR Connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

The Lee Fund: Raising Alzheimer's Awareness in SW Kansas

High Plains Public Radio | By Cindee Talley

I recently had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Skip Mancini and Jan Evans about a project, one near and dear to Skip's heart.  Many of you know Skip as the voice of, Growing on the High Plains, but you may not know how Alzheimer's personally touched the life of both her parents.

Jan Evans is the outreach coordinator for the Alzheimer's Association of Central and Western Kansas.  She and Skip met during an Alzheimer's event.  They began to cook up a plan to partner and make a difference in southwest Kansas.  In conjunction with the Alzheimer's Association, The Lee fund was founded in honor of Skip's parents.  The fund offers:

  • a 24-hour helpline for familto fund education and services for families and caregivers of persons with dementia in conjunction with the Alzheimers Association.
