The English Piper family approached us to tell a second story about Share Medical Center: the ER and nursing staff!
Hamburg 1998 The English Piper family let us run a story about a month ago telling about their total satisfaction with the new tele-medicine features at Share Medical Center. English passed away on April 15, 2016 at the age of 92. He was survived by his widow, Marceline and daughter, Dr. Sharon (Teri) Piper. Marceline said, “The expertise available to us on the telemedicine was right-on. I will say the knowledgeable and caring (smiling) nurses make the telemedicine work. You gotta have them.” Teri said, “The overall cost is very little compared to even seeing doctors at other facilities, let alone the cost to the families to be near their loved ones.” 580-327-2800
Marcline said, “The staff smiled all the time. They’d come into the room and say, “Hi Mr. Piper. How are you today? It was a happy environment even though we all knew he wasn’t doing well. “I think he lasted several more days simply because of the positive attitude,” she said.

Lynn Says
Computer scammers now using 580 area code By Lynn L. Martin A local computer friend called and alerted me that he had received three telephone calls this week to his cell phone from an Enid-appearing number warning he had a computer virus on his computer and they would help him fix it. My friend said the accent, in his mind, was heavy Pakistani, although it could be any Middle Eastern person whose first language was not English. What is new about this scam is somehow they have figured out how to “spoof” the 580 area code, and even a typical Enid landline prefix of 233. His caller ID read 580-233-6186. If you do a Google search on this telephone number here are several comments: “Told them I had a new PC. They hung up. He has called numerous times. Nothing works to stop him. The last two times he called after being told to stop harassing,
he called screaming, using extremely foul language toward me.” “He was trying to get my computer and personal information.” “They won’t stop calling me and they call from several different numbers. This number also called me and left no message and when I called back it was supposedly disconnected. The guy tried to pass himself off as a geek squad person. I told him to not call me again. There is nothing wrong with our computer.” Another New Scam Is the Refund Scam You will get a call from someone “checking” to see if you are happy with some software (usually anti-virus) you purchased. If you say, “No, I’m not pleased at all,” they will say they are sorry to hear that and will offer to refund you purchase price. All you have to do is give them your credit card number or bank account and routing number and they will refund your money. As you might guess, instead of money going into your account, it goes out of your account.

The Microsoft Scam Finally, be aware that Microsoft doesn’t call anybody! In fact, there have been several times I would have enjoyed talking to Microsoft but I think they don’t want to be found by way of telephone. Since most of us have upgraded to Windows 10 in the last few months, it sounds very contemporary to receive a call that says, “Hi, I am from Microsoft Corporation and I want to make sure your upgrade to Windows 10 has gone okay.” It’s a pretty good gamble that you might have upgraded and you may be flattered that Microsoft thought you were important enough to give you a call. If you voice any question about Windows 10, the caller will invite you to let him log on so he can solve your problem. Of course, if you fall for this, your problems are just beginning. Advice We’ve got several good computer fixit firms in town. If you get a call saying you’ve got a virus, or if your computer has slowed to a snail’s pace, you will be much better off taking it to one of the local firms rather than gamble on someone who is going to fix it online.

The 2016 wheat crop – ‘one for the record books’ In Newsgram reading area By Yvonne Miller Farmers are smiling. Elevator operators are smiling. Custom harvesters are smiling. Local economies are cheering. Finally, a wheat crop as fantastic as the last several years have been poor due to drought and other uncontrollable factors. The 2016 wheat crop in the Newsgram reading area of northwest Oklahoma and south central Kansas had way above average yields and high quality. Kiowa Area Crop Yields Best Ever Steve Inslee, manager of O.K. Grain Cooperative in Kiowa, Kansas, said, “A lot of producers said this is the best crop they’ve ever cut. It’s one for the record books – hard to beat.” “I’ve never had a harvest where we’ve taken in this much,” Inslee said. Referring to the “above average crop,” he reported average yields in the mid50s and 60 bushels per acre. He’s heard lots of fields that had yields in the 70s and 80s, which is usually unheard of in this area immediately north of the Oklahoma/Kansas border. “It’s all the weather that made this crop,” Inslee said. He was referring to the abundance of moisture at the right time and cool, mild temperatures that allowed the heads to fill with berries of grain. Test weights were strong he said, averaging 62 pounds per bushel. Harvest is basically complete in the Kiowa, Hardtner and Hazelton, Kansas, areas, he said, and added, “We have a couple more days to get the stragglers finished.” The biggest challenge with this exceptional harvest was adequate space in the elevators to store grain. “We had a hard time keeping enough space,” Inslee said. “We had problems getting (outbound) trucks.”

“We needed a good harvest to make up for the (low) price,” Inslee said. Tuesday morning he said that wheat was trading down nine cents. He said, “Worldwide there is so much wheat. We’ve got to watch the gulf bid.” “Harvest came off so fast this year,” Inslee said. He said they had less acres planted to wheat this year because of fall crops that were planted. Inslee said that those farmers who planted canola (that has the brilliant yellow blooms) this year had good results. Normally if canola yields 25 or 30 bushels to the acre it’s good, Inslee said. “We saw upward of 50 bushels,” he said. Alva Area Reports One of Top Crops “Some guys are saying this is one of their top three crops in memory. Nearly everyone is,” Ronnie Truelock said. Alva’s Farmer’s Cooperative general manager, Truelock said cutting in that area is 95 percent complete. “This week finishes harvest,” Truelock said. Alva’s cooperative extends west to the Buffalo area where he said cutting is about 60 percent complete. Yields averaged 45 to 50 bushels per acre, which Truelock said “is wonderful for this area.” He estimates the wheat crops in the Alva area are “10 plus bushels better than” the average yield throughout many years. The average for test weights is over 61. “That’s pretty good, considering some fields had a disease problem,” Truelock said. A few rains that barely delayed cutting some fields may have lowered the test weight slightly, he said. With a phenomenal crop comes the battle with lower wheat prices. “The price is low enough that feedlot operators are considering putting wheat in their rations,” Truelock said. Since soybeans and corn prices are growing, the price of wheat should increase, he said. “Whatever corn does, wheat typically follows.” He said the price of wheat closed at $3.60 Monday. When asked about elevator space with this bountiful crop, Truelock said, “We were real close to running out of space, so out of self defense, I put some of our lower quality wheat on the ground to make sure there was space for our farmers to unload their good quality grain.” He said, “Everyone was strugglin’ and lookin’ for (outbound) trucks. Thankfully, we avoid-
ed running out of space.” Truelock said of the 2016 wheat crop, “Many younger farmers have never seen a crop with yields this good.” Burlington Close to a Record Harvest Burlington Co-op Manager Robbie Newman said, “I don’t have my hands on numbers from previous years right now, but I know we’re pretty close to a record harvest.” Newman said that before the last several years of drought, Burlington’s Coop typically took in an average of 1.7 million bushels. That intake this year is 2.2 million bushels. Cutting in the Burlington area is 98 percent finished, Newman said. “Yields averaged in the mid 50s or a little better,” he said. The quality was “good with an average of 61 to 62.” Proteins were in the low 10s, he said, wishing those levels could be better, but is not unusual with a high yielding crop. When asked if Burlington’s elevator ran out of storage space for grain with the high yields, Newman replied, “Yes. We couldn’t get trucks fast enough. The DOT (Department of Transportation) closing our bridge didn’t help.” He confirmed they had to dump some of the grain coming in to the elevator on the ground temporarily. “We pretty much had a two-week harvest,” Newman said. He said the rain last Friday night caused Burlington’s elevator to be closed Saturday afternoon. That was the only delay – the remainder of cutting started and went straight through to the end. Cherokee Has Strong Harvest Cherokee Co-op Manager Shane Parker was out of the office Tuesday when contacted. Debbie Stoner, bookkeeper/secretary, said the Cherokee area harvest “went very good.” Stoner said, “Yields were all over the place from 40-67.” She said test weights were strong from 60 to 66 for the most part. Like most elevators in the area, Stoner said they had to put some wheat on the ground. “It seems like everyone cut about the same time from Texas to Kansas. There are only so many trucks to haul the grain,” she said. Several other elevator operators were contacted for comments, but were unavailable Tuesday.

Do-over for Alva Planning Commission Another meeting expected on Integris health clinic application
By Marione Martin A week ago on Tuesday, June 14, the Alva Planning Commission reached a tie vote on whether or not to recommend denying an application for an Alva health clinic by Integris. Only four members of the six-member commission were present. On a motion to recommend denying the application, two members voted yes, one voted no and one abstained (which counted as a no vote). The meeting concluded with no recommendation for the Alva City Council who will have the final word on the health clinic. See the full story of the June 14 in the June 19 Alva Review-Courier or at www. alvareviewcourier.com. The website also features a video of the entire meeting. The application procedure requires a 30-day comment period, during which the city received only one letter. That was much different than the previous year
when Integris applied for a clinic with numerous public comments received. Meanwhile, Alva commissioned Eide Baily to do a feasibility study. When that was received, a special meeting was scheduled for the Planning Commission, which is to consider the application, hear comments, ask questions and decide on a recommendation to the city council. As in the previous study, Eide Baily concluded the health clinic would have a significant financial and staffing impact on Share Medical Center. Integris says the clinic will be staffed by a mid-level physician. They also expect to schedule regular visits from various medical specialists who could see patients locally that might otherwise need to travel to Enid. One reason Matt Adair said he abstained from voting was the lack of time Integris indicated they had to study the Eide Baily feasibility study, an integral part of the decision-making process. Catherine Gann of Integris said she saw the study only that morning. She said Kevin Seely, vice president of Integris in Enid, received it the previous afternoon.
Gann said Eide Baily never contacted Integris for updated figures. Instead they used the same numbers as in the health clinic application a year earlier. Share Medical Center CEO Kandice Allen said she was contacted, but they only asked for an update on the number of Share’s primary care physicians. However, Eide Baily was provided with updated financial information from the Alva medical center. Alva’s Business Manager Joe Don Dunham said at the June 14 meeting that he’d allow some extra time for Integris by delaying the city council consideration until the July 5 meeting. However, at the Monday, June 20, meeting of the Alva City Council, Dunham said he’s giving the Planning Commission another chance to make a recommendation. Dunham said he studied the applicable ordinance, which states the commission is to make a recommendation. That can only happen with a majority vote. So Dunham is polling commission members to set a meeting where all six can be present. A date for the meeting has not yet been announced.
Alva author not just monkeying around
Leonard the Lemur stars in a recently released children’s book by Elizabeth S. Tyree of Alva. The book is illustrated by her mother Becky Tyree. Both author and artist will be at a book signing Saturday at Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Goddard, Kansas, which inspired them and benefits from sales.
Since the days of her “youth,” Alva author and literary critic Elizabeth S. Tyree has loved all forms of writing but, in particular, has evolved into a storyteller for children and young adults. In addition to her Stone Dragon Saga (a story in five installments full of mystery and enchantment), Tyree has put pen to paper to create a children’s book for the popular Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Goddard, Kansas. “Leonard the Lemur” is an interesting and informative book that introduces several of the animals of the park through the eyes of a young orphaned Lemur. The story is brought to life through the portraits and pictures provided by Becky A. Tyree. This Saturday, June 25, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Elizabeth and Becky Tyree will be on hand at the park for the launching of their new book. Proceeds
from the sale of these books will help support the ongoing care of the animals at Tanganyika. More information about the author is available at Amazon.com and for more information on Tanganyika Wildlife Park, please visit their website (twpark.com).

World Mission Builders leave their footprint in Kiowa and Hazelton Built kitchen at Project Pink, remodel at Freedom Gates Boys Ranch By Yvonne Miller The last few weeks hammers pounded, electric saws buzzed in Kiowa and Hazelton, Kansas, for projects designed to transform lives. That’s in the form of Project Pink House, a home for pregnant women who need help, and Freedom Gates Boys Ranch, a home for troubled young men. None of the improvements would have been possible for these cashstrapped organizations without the generous donation of time and hard work by World Mission Builders (WMB). Founded by Ed Thomas, Baxter Springs, Kansas, in 1975, WMB has built over 230 churches or para-church buildings both foreign and domestic in 88 countries. WMB’s mission statement is to put “Permanence in Missions.” “We’re about brick and mortar, but the bottom line is about ministry and lives being changed,” said Dr. R. Joe Wilson of Enid, who is the domestic project coordinator for WMB. Wilson and his wife, Fae, have participated in over 70 WMB projects. The first weekend in June an estimated 40-45 WMB volunteers from 10 different states arrived in Kiowa. These men and women are retired professionals: building contractors, electricians, plumbers, engineers, a retired CEO of an aircraft manufacturing company, a nuclear physicist, an architect, a chemist, a retired postmaster, etc. “Many of us are in our 60s to 80s. We have the time, talent, wealth and ability to give back. We’ve been extremely blessed and want to give back. We’re there to do construction, but we know the healing and life transforming that will happen in the places we construct,” Wilson said. Built Kitchen and More at Project Pink Many pulled their RVs into town, some staying in private home, others staying at Project Pink since it is housed in Kiowa’s former hospital building and beds are already made up and rooms decorated for the expectant mothers. WMB’s job at Project Pink House
was to transform what was at one time the hospital nursery and the nurses lounge into a kitchen. If you go to Project Pink’s Facebook page, you can watch WMB in action – knocking out
walls, putting up Sheetrock, scraping, painting, laying new flooring, installing cupboards and on and on.
See Builders Page 38
Some 40 volunteers from World Mission Builders do the work in 10 days that it would take the Freedom Gates Boys Ranch in Hazelton, Kansas, to do.
Project Pink is about ready to start receiving pregnant women, as their new home in Kiowa is almost ready thanks to the volunteerism of World Mission Builders.

Warren Buffett invests in Oklahoma State kin, Tyler Buffett By Eric Olson OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Oklahoma State pitcher Tyler Buffett was money in his first game at the College World Series. What would you expect? Buffett is in Omaha, the hometown of Warren Buffett, and he's related to the billionaire investor, too. The Cowboys' "Candyman" found time this week to meet the famous "Oracle of Omaha." Tyler and his immediate family and friends from Albuquerque, New Mexico, had dinner with Warren and his wife Astrid on Sunday night at the home Tyler's parents are renting during their stay at the CWS. Tyler said he had never met Warren until this week. Tyler's father, John, is the son of the late George Buffett, Warren's first cousin. On Monday, Tyler pitched eight strong innings in the Cowboys' 1-0 victory over Arizona, putting his team within one win of next week's finals. Warren watched the game on television. Tyler visited Warren's office at Berkshire Hathaway headquarters on Tuesday. "I went with my parents and saw some of the cool baseball memorabilia he had down there," Tyler said. "He told me I did a good job. He also said that, in his opinion, Dustin's foot was on the bag." Tyler was referring to the ninth-inning play where first baseman Dustin

Williams originally was ruled to have pulled his foot off the bag on a putout. The runner was ruled safe, but the call was overturned after umpires conferred. Warren wrote in an email to The Associated Press that he first heard about Tyler's pitching prowess while visiting John Buffett in Albuquerque a couple years ago. He said he has followed Tyler from afar. "He's a terrific person just like all of the Albuquerque Buffetts," Warren wrote. "I watched the entire game last night despite it going well beyond my normal bedtime. I like watching Tyler in action. He doesn't waste time between pitches." Warren was a part-owner of the minor-league Omaha Royals (now the Omaha Storm Chasers) from 1991-2012. He said he may invite fellow billionaire investor T. Boone Pickens, a major Oklahoma State booster, to Omaha to cheer on the Cowboys together. He then made reference to the popularity of his business advice, always eagerly sought. "All pitchers of course want my tips on the various pitches for which I am famous. (Each of course looks like a changeup but there are subtleties involved)," he wrote. Tyler is studying management and marketing at Oklahoma State, but business did not come up in his conversations with Warren. Tyler's grandfather in 1956 started Buffett's Candies, an institution

in Albuquerque. See's Candies is part of the Berkshire Hathaway empire. Tyler, aka "Candyman," said he remembers his grandmother joking about which branch of the family made the best candy. "He is family, but he's sideways on the family tree, so you don't see those members of your family a whole lot," Tyler said. "He's still family, so he treated us like family, and we treated him like family. It felt like he had always been around. He seems just like my grandpa, so it was cool." MORE, AND TOUGHER, COMPETITION Longtime Miami coach Jim Morris has brought 13 teams to the CWS and won two national titles. After his team was eliminated Monday after going 0-2, with the second loss to UC Santa Barbara, Morris said it isn't necessarily harder to win in Omaha. He said it's a bigger challenge to get here, though, because there are more capable teams. "There are so many good teams that I never heard of 15 years ago, one being Santa Barbara," he said. "I wouldn't have known anything about them. But this is their first time. And I want to congratulate them. It's a great thing. And them getting here or even TCU — to the point you heard of them, but they weren't a baseball school (years ago). The coaches have gone in there and done a good job." EXTRA BASES For the first time since 2005, the Atlantic Coast Conference failed to advance a team past its first two games. ... A total of 27 runs were scored through the first six games, the fewest in CWS history. ... Arizona's pitching staff is the first since 2010 to have two pitchers with at least 10 strikeouts in a game. Nathan Bannister had 11 against Miami on Saturday and Bobby Dalbec had 12 against Oklahoma State on Monday.

Tulsa police to continue partnership with immigration agency TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Tulsa County commissioners have approved the continued participation of the sheriff’s office in a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement program over objections that it contributes to profiling and mistrust of local law enforcement. The program uses police officers to identify undocumented residents for deportation proceedings. About 12 people spoke against the program Monday. Some said they were subjected to unwarranted traffic stops and searches because of their appearance. Some said most people arrested and deported under the program are charged with minor in-
fractions. “It’s hard to be Hispanic in Tulsa, Oklahoma,” Tony Dominguez said. “It’s especially hard if you’re Hispanic and you look Middle Eastern. Police look at my face and I get pulled over for no reason.” The Tulsa World (http://bit.ly/28MUJYw ) reports that Commissioner John Smaligo and First Deputy Vicki Adams, sitting in for Commissioner Ron Peters, voted to renew the agreement with the federal agency. Commissioner Karen Keith voted against renewal because she wanted to know more about who was being detained under the program.
Smaligo said his review of the Tulsa Jail’s records indicate that many detainees were initially stopped for minor traffic violations, but were ultimately charges with more serious infractions, usually involving drugs or alcohol. Sheriff Vic Regalado spoke in favor of the agreement, and said that only a “small portion” of immigrants are unduly fearful of the law enforcement. Guardiola, the Tulsa Police Department’s Hispanic liaison and Hispanic recruitment officer, said the program and others like it make his job more difficult because there is a lack of trust.
Former Oklahoma Senate leader sentenced on bribery charge By Sean Murphy OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The last Democrat to lead the Oklahoma Senate was sentenced Tuesday to 18 months in prison for bribery after a federal prosecutor urged a judge to send a message to other attorneys serving in the Legislature that public corruption is a serious crime. Former Senate President Pro Tempore Mike Morgan was resentenced in U.S.

District Court in Oklahoma City after a federal appeals court found his original sentence of probation was too lenient. Prosecutors had recommended between 41 and 51 months, arguing the bribery conviction is more serious because of Morgan's position of power. "Those in the Legislature are committing bribery when they accept payments like these for legal work," Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott Williams told Judge Robin Cauthron. Morgan was indicted in 2011 on charges that accused him of taking about $400,000 from three different companies. A federal jury in 2012 found him guilty of taking only a $12,000 bribe in exchange for his influence on legislation, acquitting him on related extortion and mail fraud counts. Jurors couldn't reach a verdict on other counts. The Stillwater attorney declined to comment on his new sentence Tuesday as he left the courtroom surrounded by family and friends. In court filings, Morgan has maintained his innocence, but said he is "re-
signed to resentencing at this point in order to get this chapter of his life behind him." Before handing down the sentence, Cauthron noted Morgan presents no threat to the public, has an exemplary probation record and has performed a "multitude of good works," which she considered. "In my view, any sentence of imprisonment is substantial and meaningful," the judge said. Morgan was ordered to voluntarily surrender to federal prison on July 21. His attorneys asked the judge to recommend Morgan serve his sentence at the minimum-security satellite camp at the Federal Correctional Institution in El Reno. Under a sentencing agreement, both Morgan and prosecutors agreed to waive their right to appeal. First elected to the Oklahoma Senate in 1996, Morgan became president pro tempore in 2005 and served as co-leader of the Senate after the 2006 election ended in an historic 24-24 tie. Morgan was term-limited and couldn't seek re-election in 2008, when Republicans took control of the Senate for the first time in state history.

No ‘magic bullet’ against jihadist propaganda, Lynch says By Eric Tucker and Mike Schneider ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The Orlando massacre at a popular gay nightclub shows no one yet has "found the magic bullet" to prevent Americans from being inspired to violence by jihadist propaganda on the Internet, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Tuesday as she visited a city still shaken by the shootings. The case underscores the challenges the government faces in countering the narrative of radical extremism, Lynch said in an interview with The Associated Press. At the scene of the carnage, workers removed a temporary fence that was erected around the Pulse nightclub. State officials wondered how they would pay for resources drained by the June 12 massacre, and investigators kept probing for gunman Omar Mateen's motives for the rampage, in which 49 people were killed and dozens more wounded. Mateen died in a gunbattle with police. Lynch said investigators may never pinpoint a single motive and not have not discounted witness reports suggesting Mateen might have been at Pulse before or had gay tendencies. "We are still looking into that, and we are not ruling anything out," she said. In a 911 call from the club, Mateen pledged solidarity with the Islamic State
group, and Lynch said there's no doubt he had read and been interested in extremist propaganda on the Internet. "We believe that is certainly one avenue of radicalization, but we want to know if there are others," she said in the interview. "This was clearly an act of terror and an act of hate," she told reporters later. She called the rampage a "shattering attack, on our nation, on our people and on our most fundamental ideals." While in Orlando, Lynch visited a memorial, praised the actions of first responders and met with victims' relatives and with prosecutors. Lynch also directly addressed the LGBT community, saying, "We stand with you to say that the good in the world far outweighs the evil ... and that our most effective response to terror and hatred is compassion, unity and love." Her remarks at a news conference followed briefings by U.S. Attorney Lee Bentley and other law enforcement officials, including prosecutors assigned to the investigation. Lynch's meeting with first responders came as Orlando police faced continued questions about their response. On Monday, police Chief John Mina said that if any fire from responding offi-
cers hit victims at the club, Mateen bears the responsibility. "Those killings are on the suspect, on the suspect alone in my mind," he said. Lynch said the Justice Department will provide Florida $1 million in emergency funds to help with response costs. Florida's Republican Gov. Rick Scott had complained that Washington had turned down his request for $5 million to help pay for the state's response. Federal Emergency Management Agency spokesman Rafael Lemaitre said its disaster fund was not an "appropriate source" to pay for law enforcement response, medical care and counseling for victims of a shooting. More clues emerged about the attack Monday when the FBI released a partial transcript of phone calls Mateen had with a 911 operator and police crisis negotiators once the shooting got underway. In them, he identified himself as an Islamic soldier, demanded that the U.S. "stop bombing" Syria and Iraq, warned of future violence and at one point pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State group, the FBI said. Despite his declarations, the FBI says it's found no evidence the attack was directed by a foreign terrorist organization. Mateen instead appears to have become radicalized through online jihadist propaganda, officials say, an influence that openly worries law enforcement. Mateen's calls to police, which one FBI official said were made in a "chilling, calm and deliberate manner" were similar to postings he apparently made on Facebook around the time of the shooting. "I'm in Orlando and I did the shootings," Mateen said in one call that came more than a half-hour after the first shots rang out, the FBI said. The shootings have fostered discussion about government efforts to identify and thwart individuals bent on violence — Mateen had been interviewed by the FBI three times since 2013 as part of two separate investigations and placed on a terror watch list — and also about whether stiffer gun control laws are needed. The Senate on Monday rejected proposals from both parties to keep extremists from acquiring guns, including one that was publicly supported by the Justice Department.

This past year volunteer individuals and groups adopted hospital rooms, transforming them into bedrooms and totally individualizing them with furniture, curtains, rugs, etc., in themes and colors. Of those 14 rooms, Allen said these rooms are a place for women to call home during their stay in Kiowa, “a space for the women to call their own.” Allen said, “Our goal is to empower women to be independent.” She said through volunteers and mentors, Project Pink will give women the skills and resources they need so they can make choices to be independent. Both Allen and Myers are breast cancer survivors. The color pink represents “strength” to both women so it was easy to name their project. They hope to instill the strength they’ve learned into the young women who find refuge at Project Pink. Wilson said, “That was a challenge at Project Pink to get the kitchen in that space. We worked hard on it. I was amazed at how it turned out. I was concerned about the remodel – we usually build new. We like to come in and complete it.” He added, “I look forward to hearing about the ministry that happens there with those young women.” Project Pink Co-founder Brenda

Myers said they have never would have got this project completed without the generosity of WMB and thanked them for “working like only a servant could give.” Obviously jobs like WMB did require lots of equipment. “Almost any tool we need someone has usually brought,” Wilson said of the WMB volunteers. Anything the group needed and did not have was immediately provided by the community, he said. Freedom Gates Boys Ranch Expands Housing WMB was originally coming to build a new 5,000 square feet living space for the Freedom Gates Boys Ranch (FGBR) in Hazelton so they could expand to hosting 10 boys. However, FGBR President Michael Simpson said the decreased oil and gas revenue in the area and the huge Anderson Creek Fire took away their funding for the time being. However, FGBR had enough for a remodel project to a house with a two-door garage in Hazelton that was donated to them. WMB totally redid the home, building two bedrooms, bathroom and recreation room. The volunteers widened doors, painted, installed a new sub floor, a new ceiling and much more. “It was really neat,” Simpson said. “We have just a little touch up work.” “WMB is an amazing organization who did in 10 days what would have taken us one year, Simpson said. “One of neatest things is when I went to Wichita one day and spent $2,300 on supplies. By the next morning I had $2,100 given to me by individuals from WMB.” Simpson said when they were talking about the FGBR, there was a reference to whose house they were transforming. “This is the Lord’s house,” the WMB volunteer said. Watching the volunteers, Simpson said, “The camaraderie is great. Everyone works together so well. The chemistry between them is amazing.” “I keep telling myself that our job is not building houses, but it’s building boys,” Simpson said. Dennis Blake and his wife, Nancy, have been house parents at FGBR for five years and continue to mentor the boys. Watching the WMB members, Blake said, “It was such a joy to have
them here. What I enjoyed was watching this group of people who have joy in their heart as they work. That’s despite the heat. It was miserable at times. The volunteers loved the hospitality shown by the community. They want to come back.” Wilson said, “I was amazed that FGBR goal is to do a generational change of direction – to show the boys how different their life can be.” Wilson said that Michael Simpson’s father Roger Simpson has partnered with WMB several times. That includes when they built the chapel at Bill Johnson Correctional Center in Alva. WMB built four other chapels at prisons in Oklahoma. Simpson will be traveling to Illinois in the fall to help WMB build a church camp. Complimenting the Kiowa area communities during their stay, Wilson said, “The local hospitality committee is to be commended. They provided three meals for us a day.” That’s thanks to so many in the community volunteering. Wilson specifically mentioned Roger Simpson’s wife, who made them homemade ice cream numerous times. Watching the group at meal time it’s apparent they’ve all become buddies through the years. “It’s always like a reunion when we get together,” Wilson said. A few of the volunteers shared their thoughts about why they joined WMB. Rick Balmer, a retired carpenter and teacher from Illinois, said, “I was looking for a way to serve the Lord after retirement. I came to Neosho, Missouri, for two days in 2001. I was hooked. I’ve been on over 20 projects. As it always works out, we are blessed more by serving than who we are serving. God is Good, All the Time!” Balmer said. “I am super impressed with Project Pink and the boys ranch,” he said. A retired quality engineer, Tom Harper said he decided this group “would be great to work with and give me a opportunity to give back the many blessings God had provided me and my family.” He’s been a part of WMB for years. “The work here has been great as two great projects and plans are coming together concentrating to specific needs an I look forward to hearing about the successes of each.”

accept a similar position at Minot State University in North Dakota. “I appreciate the confidence of Dr. Cunningham and look forward to serving my alma mater in this new role,” Franz said. “I can’t think of another school where alumni and community support is so strong. We are going to do the best job possible to provide our student-athletes with the best experience possible and give our fans every reason to be proud of the Rangers. “It is hard leaving the men’s basketball program. We have a special group of young men who will hit the court next year. My first job is to find the right coach who will lead them and continue their upward climb in the Great American Conference.” Franz earned his degree from Northwestern in 1988 and later served as a graduate assistant coach. He was head coach at Otero Junior College in Colorado from 1991-96, compiling an 88-56 record and leading the school to its first-ever conference title. He later moved into administration, serving as the chief student affairs officer and athletic director at Otero, before returning to Northwestern in 2006 as a dean and later as vice president. His love of athletics drew him back into coaching at Northwestern last year. “I am anxious to begin working with a very good team of administrators and coaches in the athletics department,” Franz said. “Everyone will be committed to Northwestern and our studentathletes.”
