‘Nunsense’ to be performed in Medicine Lodge April 21 and 28 Play is Forensics Team fundraiser for state competition By Yvonne Miller Go out for lunch this Sunday, April 21, in Medicine Lodge and laugh off the calories as you watch the Medicine Lodge High School (MLHS) Forensics Team perform the award-winning comedy “Nunsense.” Students will perform the show two more times the following Sunday, April 28. The performances are a fundraiser for the MLHS Forensics Team as members head to State Champs and Festival May 4. The team had a good season, qualifying almost all team members for those state-level meets. The forensics squad also has a team for Relay for Life. For the “Nunsense” production, Cathy Colborn directs with Gloria Morford as musical director. “Nunsense,” written by Dan Gogin, tells the hysterical story of five nuns who are left behind after their cook served soup that killed 62 nuns. That’s because the five sneaked away to play Bingo. Only 48 of the deceased nuns get buried because the Reverend Mother purchases a VCR instead. The audience becomes part of the benefit the nuns hold to raise funds to bury the remaining nuns, who are downstairs in the freezer. Then the health inspector arrives, which adds to the insanity. Gogin spent a great deal of his life around nuns and based each of the Little Sisters of Hoboken on a real nun in his life, wanting to share the humor he witnessed in the nuns.

Interesting stuff to know By Lynn L. Martin If you are right handed, you will tend to chew your food on the right side of your mouth. If you are left handed, you will tend to chew your food on the left side of your mouth. To make half a kilo of honey, bees must collect nectar from over two million individual flowers. Heroin is the brand name of morphine once marketed by Bayer. Tourists visiting Iceland should know that tipping at a restaurant is considered an insult! People in nudist colonies play volleyball more than any other sport. Albert Einstein was offered the presidency of Israel in 1952, but he declined. Astronauts can’t belch – there is no gravity to separate liquid from gas in their stomachs. Ancient Roman, Chinese and German societies often used urine as mouthwash. The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows. In the Renaissance era, it was fashion to shave them off! Because of the speed at which Earth moves around the Sun, it is impossible for a solar eclipse to last more than seven minutes and 58 seconds. The night of Jan. 20 is “Saint Agnes’s Eve,” which is regarded as a time
when a young woman dreams of her future husband. Google is actually the common name for a number with a million zeros. It takes glass one million years to decompose, which means it never wears out and can be recycled an infinite amount of times! Gold is the only metal that doesn’t rust, even if it’s buried in the ground for thousands of years. Your tongue is the only muscle in your body that is attached at only one end. If you stop getting thirsty, you need to drink more water. When a human body is dehydrated, its thirst mechanism shuts off. Each year two million smokers either quit smoking or die of tobacco-related diseases. Zero is the only number that cannot be represented by Roman numerals.

Kansas man charged with unlawful possession of CDS By Marione Martin According to documents on file, Oklahoma Park Ranger Bryan S. Miller conducted a traffic stop on April 4 on the north campground road in Waynoka. With consent from the driver Derek Patton, he searched the vehicle and found a pill bottle with the name Andrew Laliberte on the label. Inside the bottle were two different kinds of pills. Miller checked and found the
bottle contained Alprazolam and 12 white pills that were identified as Hydrocodone 7.5. Laliberte said the pills were his but he did not have a prescription for the Hydrocodone. He was arrested and transported to the Woods County Jail for booking. Andrew Charles Laliberte, 23, of Viola, Kan., has been charged with unlawful possession of a controlled dangerous substance without a prescription, a misdemeanor.
Three charged in damage to property By Marione Martin Three people have been charged in Alfalfa County with malicious injury to property, a misdemeanor. They are Don Elbert Robins, 52, no address listed; Jimmie W. Schmidt, 56, Carmen; and Cassie Marie Beebe, 26, Carmen. According to documents in the cases, on March 29 Latasha Beebe called the Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Office to report she and Thomas Harper had some vandalism done to their trailer and vehicle. She said she would meet a deputy at a Carmen convenience store. Deputy Dennis Frisk met with Bebee and Harper to take the report. Harper said he and Beebe were on their lunch break and were walking to their trailer at 716 W. Walnut in Carmen. When they rounded the corner, they saw Cassie Beebe with a knife in her hand walking away from the trailer, which had two flat ties. He said Cassie walked
to the back of the trailer and cut off the electric cord to the trailer. Harper said he also saw Schmidt pouring something in the fuel tank on his pickup. He said Robins was doing something to the front door of his trailer. Harper said when the three saw them coming down the street, they took off. Harper said he noticed that he had two flat tires on his trailer and they had been cut on the sidewalls. He said the electric

cord had been cut off. Harper said he went over to his pickup and noticed there was sugar poured into his gas tank. Harper said they went back to work and when he got off work, his boss helped him move his pickup and trailer from 716 W. Walnut to behind a building that his boss owned. When Deputy Frisk asked Harper why they didn’t call it in when it happened, he said he had to get back to work because he couldn’t afford to lose his job.

With the majority of the forensics team competing, Forensics Coach Meagan Masters relied on a lot of volunteer help from South Barber students to make the day a success.
“I would also like to thank many South Barber alumni for serving as judges: Kevin Cox, Rebekah Wagenbach, Jesse Ruiz and David Daughhetee. I really appreciate your continued involvement in and support of our forensics program,” Masters said. Teachers Kiley Feely and Nathan Gevelinger also served as judges during finals. A large number of students who competed “broke finals” after numbers from
preliminary rounds were tabbed, thus placing in the top six overall and receiving a medal. In most cases, students have to place first or second in their event to qualify to compete in the State Speech Championship held in Salina Saturday, May 4. The following students placing at League were: In Poetry, Holly Drake received third place with “Dance Monkeys, Dance” and Micaela Kirkwood received fifth with “Still Wanna Be Friends?” In Prose, Ana Wilhelm took second with a cutting from “The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.” In Extemporaneous Speaking, Lane Hess placed first, Montana McCullough placed second and Reiley Courson placed fifth.

Twenty two students competed in 38 events in Norman on the OU campus and came out on top of 25 other schools in Class 4A. Teams like Muldrow, Keyes, and Prague finished after Alva. “This is the first time the team has won the title since 2001,” Coach Nick Bradt said. “We place at State every year, but it felt really good to win it all. If you add the Speech team’s State Champion One-Act Trophy and the All-State Tech Trophy from earlier this year, it’s the first time in OSSAA history that this triple has happened,” Bradt concluded. “It’s the most successful year we’ve had in the 8 years I’ve been coaching. Of course, I couldn’t have done it without those talented kids and their hard work ethic.” He also thanked Chris Eckhardt, Jason Paris and Savannah White for donating time to help the team.

Jennifer-Schubert-Akin (1975 BHS grad) finishes and survives her 19th Boston Marathon
Crosses finish line two minutes ahead of explosion By Yvonne Miller Talk about a close call. Thankfully, Jennifer Schubert-Akin crossed the finish line of the Boston Marathon two to three minutes before the explosions at that location Monday at almost 3 p.m. EST. The explosions (at press time, the identity of who set them is unknown) reportedly killed three and injured at least 144 people, many critically, who were there to run in the race or watch their loved one cross the finish line. Schubert-Akin said it began as another beautiful Patriot’s Day in Boston for her 19th consecutive Boston Marathon, entered by an estimated 26,000 runners. She said about the last six miles of the 26.2 mile race she started having severe cramping in her right calf. She just kept thinking she had to “dig deep,” as her dear friend Leadville 100 Race Founder Ken Chlouber always says. “I was bustin’ it because I wanted to finish in under four hours,” Jennifer said of the cutoff time to qualify for next year. She said with just four-tenths of a mile to go she was in considerable pain
and her foot was pulling up and rigid with cramping, but she couldn’t believe how fast she was able to run despite it. “I literally finished hopping on one foot,” she said of her 3 hour 58 minute finish – just two minutes before the explosions. Looking back she knows an angel must have been carrying her. Making the turn onto Boylston St. where runners cross the finish line, Jennifer said there were hundreds of runners and spectators. “So it’s easy to predict when the masses would be there. Whoever planned the explosions wanted to harm as many people as possible,” she said. As the sister of Jennifer (a 1975 Burlington High School grad), this Newsgram reporter was following Jennifer’s progress on a computer-based tracking system as her wave of the race started about 10:40 a.m. I was expecting her usual call to me around 2 p.m. CST saying she’d finished the race, qualified for next year, made it back to her Boston hotel room, was devouring her traditional burger and pile of salty fries and awaiting a massage. Instead, my phone rang and I heard my sister on the other end speaking in a trembling voice, relieved that she finished and qualified for next year, but scared and unsure of what the two loud explosions and billowing smoke were all about. She knew her husband Rick, who had watched her cross the finish line, was in that area where the explosions occurred. She told me to turn on the news to see what had happened, but the news didn’t break for five or 10 minutes.
With the chaos that ensued almost instantly there was no cell phone service as the system was overwhelmed (I later heard reports phone service was turned off as bombs were cell phone-activated, but I don’t know if that’s true.) She soon learned other forms of social media worked, such as texting, Facebook and email. I was so relieved I had heard her voice before and knew she was okay as I began to hear the devastating news, especially since reports said it was those runners aiming for the four-hour deadline, as I knew she was, who were caught in the blast. Jennifer described what happened immediately after crossing the finish line, “When you cross the finish line you just keep walking because there are so many runners coming behind you and I was walking off my cramping. I was about two blocks past the finish line, picking up my race medal and water. They had just handed me my blanket when there was a very loud Kaboom! with a large plume of black smoke at the finish line area. There were hundreds of runners in the finish area where I was. Everyone stood there and looked back at the smoke – totally confused. About 15 seconds later, there was another loud Kaboom! followed by another large cloud of smoke. “It was like when the first plane flew into the World Trade Center. You weren’t sure at first what had happened. Then when the second plane hit you knew it was an act of terror.” Jennifer continued, “I was terrified that Rick was walking right through it, See Marathon Page 44

Grader paperwork completed at Alfalfa commissioners meeting Bids sought for scanning land records
By Roger McKenzie Repairing an old grader can be more expensive than purchasing a new one, at least for a while and in Alfalfa County. At Monday’s meeting of the Alfalfa County commissioners, final paperwork was signed for a new District 2 grader recently purchased from Enid’s Yellowhouse Machinery. The grader was already in use – at a monthly cost
that was less than the county had been spending on repairs to keep an older grader going. The county purchased the new 2013 grader after a low bid of $196,816. Financed for 84 months with an extended warranty at a total cost of $224,082, the cost works out to less than $2,700 per month. Recently, the county spent over $10,000 for repairs on one grader, which ultimately needed more repairs. Most of Monday’s meeting was routine. That made for a short meeting. However, one item was unusual and is forward looking. The commissioners authorized County Clerk Laneta Unruh to seek bids for scanning land records in her office. Unruh noted that the plan calls for having a digital copy of the records using Kelpro software. The county currently uses Kelpro software for its court
records. She said no plans were in the works to make scanned land records available through the Internet. Printed books will continue to be utilized. The scanned records, however, would make getting copies easier. Eighteen road crossing permits totaling $19,300 in fees were approved. District 1 accounted for eight permits ($12,750 in fees) while District 2 had four permits ($3,550 in fees). Six of the permits were for District 3 ($3,000 in fees). Commissioners appointed David Failes to the Alfalfa County Fair Board. They also approved a resolution to dispose of a washing machine for the sheriff’s department. In other business, minutes of their previous meeting were approved, as well as maintenance and operations warrants and blanket purchase orders.

Red, White and Bluegrass Fiddlers fantastic at Pioneer Days By Yvonne Miller The little and not-so-little-anymore Red, White and Bluegrass Fiddlers drew a crowd in Kiowa’s Centennial Park following the Pioneer Days parade Saturday. Donita Ragan and Carol McGee teach the youngsters how to play their fiddles. Most of the youth started as little tykes. The sound they’ve evolved to produce now is amazing. You don’t see many youth playing string instruments these days because it’s not, so watching them strum their bows in harmony is refreshing. Dressed in denim, boots and many in cowboy hats, the fiddlers entertained the crowd with country songs. Students even showed their vocal talents, singing solos with piano and sometime fiddler accompaniment.
Teacher and accompanist Donita Ragan leads the two tiniest members of the Red, White and Bluegrass Fiddlers in a duet while teacher Carol McGee listens. They cuties are (left) Carlee McCracken of Alva and Emma Schupbach who attends school at Burlington. Besides playing the fiddle, Emma showed the crowd she has no fear of singing a solo. Everyone in the crowd said she’ll be quite a performer as she gets older. Photo by Yvonne Miller

In addition, assistance is available to the state and eligible local governments on a cost-sharing basis for snow assistance, for a continuous 48-hour period during or proximate to the incident period in Dewey and Ellis counties. Federal funding is also available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation measures statewide.

Coachman said additional designations may be made at a later date if requested by the state and warranted by the results of further damage assessments.

since he would have been walking back toward our hotel after waiting for me at the finish area. Fortunately, he walked away from Boylston St. (the finish street) one block over to Newberry St. to walk back to our hotel and so missed it by one block.” Rick said he heard the first explosion as he was walking away from the finish line area, but actually saw the red fire ball of the second blast, as it was only one block from him. He said, “I knew right then when I saw the second blast what was going on. Amazingly, everyone around me did not panic. People moved in an orderly fashion.” Rick knew by the alert on his phone that Jennifer had finished the race, but he wasn’t positive where she was and he knew she wouldn’t yet have her phone. Race officials keep the possessions runners will need after the race in guarded bags they retrieve in the finish area where Jennifer was standing at the time of the explosion. When she got her
phone they were able to connect before the cell service was disrupted. Both hurriedly made their way back to their hotel. Jennifer said through it all “The Boston Marathon people did a fabulous job. They had an emergency plan in place. They were very well prepared.” Medical tents were already in place for runners, as they always are, which was helpful in giving first response to the injured. “We are heartbroken for the hundreds of runners and their family and friends who were waiting at the finish line to celebrate what should have been a great moment in their lives,” Jennifer said. “The Boston Marathon is the `holy grail’ of marathons for most runners, since it requires running a qualifying time to be admitted. Our thoughts and prayers go to all those who were injured and to the three people who lost their lives. “The bottom line is that we are
extremely thankful to God for being spared today. If I had not been willing to “dig deep,” as our friend Ken Chlouber says, and had finished just two minutes later, or if Rick had chosen to walk up Boylston St. instead of going to a less crowded street, our day would have had a very different outcome.” On Monday night, Denver, Colo., media interviewed Jennifer and Rick over the phone in Boston, as the couple is from Steamboat Springs. Tuesday morning a car picked them up to do an interview with Jenna Lee on Fox News. Jennifer and Rick thank everyone for their prayers and concern. When I asked Jennifer if this would make her think twice about running the race again next year, she replied, “Hell no. I will be back stronger and better prepared next year. Boston is one of the best races in the world. The people in charge of the race do a beautiful job. Whoever did this will not win and stop the American people.” Each year Jennifer uses the Boston Marathon to raise money for multiple sclerosis (MS), which her sister has had since 1988. In her 19 years of fundraising, she’s raised near $60,000 for MS research. If you’d like to donate, go to Jennifer’s site (http://main. nationalmssociety.org/site/ TR?px=11872394&pg=personal&fr_id =20421&et=3syCnwisN0SxshErWIT fdQ&s_tafId=313098) where you can make an online donation
