Freedom schools add to staff By Lynn L. Martin Kellie Badley and Charlotte Selfridge were employed for the 2013-2014 school year as certified teachers at the Freedom schools board of education meeting Monday night. Additionally, non-certified summer help was employed. These include Norma Mullins, summer cafeteria; Brenda Daughhetee, summer maintenance; Jovita Rhoads, summer maintenance; Ismael Ontiveros, OJT (on the job training); and Jeanne Weber, summer driver’s education. Alpha Plus Educational Systems Two items consumed most of the time at the board meeting before the execu-
Kellie Badley
tive sessions to hire staff. The first was Superintendent Danny McCuiston made an impassioned plea for the board to approve a service called, “Alpha Plus Educational Systems,” which in his words, “Is the finest system to help classroom teachers and students achieve their goals throughout the year. It is expensive, but it is worth it.” The Alpha Plus web site describes their products as “helping teachers and students improve standardized test scores.” Quoting, “Alpha Plus has developed practice tests aligned to state and federal standards over the course of the last 17 years. These tests are used for diagnostic purposes and periodic monitoring of student performance throughout the school year.” In another web site statement, Alpha Plus, an Oklahoma City firm, displays their results: “Bottom line: Schools served by Alpha Plus last year average 3.00 on the A-F GPA, while the C3 schools’ average is 2.07, the SIG schools’ average is 1.78 and the state’s average is 2.66. “ McCuiston was very direct in warning that the Alpha Plus Product is “very high challenge” for teachers and administrators. The Alpha Plus firm conducts considerable training before the start of school and then sends a trainer each month to help the district adhere to the design of the program. The Freedom school board agreed to accept the Alpha Plus program at a cost of $26,660. Initially, the cost was quoted at $40,000 but the 75 student size of the Freedom School District helped earn a reduction.
Huge Surplus Equipment List Next, the school board spent quite a bit of time reviewing a four-page equipment list the superintendent said needed to be declared as surplus. The superintendent said he had thoroughly gone through the school site and was astounded at how many unused items had been stored for years. The school board also seemed astounded by the list, which included things like five vehicles, 23 computer systems, seven Beyer dynamic microphones (new in boxes) and many items of music equipment no longer used. There was lots of office equipment and old scoreboards and many other items. The board finally agreed to declare these items as surplus and later on figure out how to dispose of the equipment in a way that would obtain the most funds for the school. Housekeeping Items The Freedom school board attended to several items to prepare for the next school year. They approved workers’ compensation insurance in the amount of $6,048 with the Oklahoma School Assurance Group, they agreed to spend $321.75 for the teacher evaluation service of OKTLE, they approved board resolutions to join the Inter-local cooperative for the Oklahoma Schools Property and Casualty Cooperative for their insurance, they voted to retain membership in the Oklahoma State School Boards Association, and they retained membership with the Oklahoma Rural Schools Association. Summer Maintenance The ten ton air conditioner has failed in the cafeteria and will be replaced by Luckinbill at a cost of $7,900. Also, the board approved getting a bid for a 1.5 ton mini-split system to help with kitchen cooling that might be purchased in the next fiscal year. Also, the gym floor is damaged with the old finish peeling up because of water damage. The superintendent says it must be totally refinished. ARBO is in the process of working on the gym floor.

plans set
The Carmen Fire Department is once again planning a great fireworks show for Friday, July 5. The fireworks show will begin at dark (about 9:45) in the Carmen Park. Individuals are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs, blankets and bug spray. Activities will begin around 5 p.m. when the First Responders will sponsor a barbeque dinner at the new pavilion. They will also have homemade ice cream available. There will be children’s games and activities available during the evening. The Bloodmobile will also be accepting donations of blood during the afternoon and evening. Following the fireworks, Jake Bowers and his band will provide music. The Carmen 5th of July has grown over the past 15 years. It originally was an informal gathering of individuals who brought fireworks to the park and set them off. Over time, the fire department began ordering fireworks and planning an improved show each year. Now, the firemen are considered one of the most skilled and talented firework artists in the area. Fire Chief Bud Jackson encourages everyone to come out for the “Best Fireworks Show in Northwest Oklahoma.” Jackson can be contacted at 580-4305427. Donations are being accepted to keep the show going.

Bus drivers to be paid $7500/year
for a half-cent per copy. Dirks has supplied Burlington School with copiers for 12 years. Elliott said they’ve never been dissatisfied with Dirk’s service, so that’s why they opted to stay with them. Superintendent Reports The superintendent said he had hoped to have a report about the school’s building project plans. However, he said the Moore tornado rebuilding effort has thrown everyone behind schedule. Elliott said the contract was signed and approved with Joan Embree for the school’s $12,000 purchase of her lot located northwest across Main Street from the school. It will temporarily serve as a parking lot, but will be an ideal location to build a house, Elliott said. Giving a telephone and utilities comparison, Elliott said utilities increased $1,500 and phone decreased by $150. He said that about 80 percent of the school’s phone bill is paid by E-Rate. He also discussed finance and legislation, the OSSBA convention, summer maintenance, inventories for building and vehicles. Board Business The board approved items including budget revisions for 2012-13; the minimum teacher salary for 2013-14; encumbrances, change orders and warrants for the general, building, child nutrition and transportation bond; and the May activity report. A transfer of money from activity
sub accounts to the general fund and child nutrition fund was approved. Also approved was the transfer of funds from the child nutrition fund to the general fund. Reserve funds from 2012-13 were approved to pay invoices that have not yet been received. A list of items to be disposed of was declared surplus. The board approved membership in Northwest Oklahoma School Officials, Oklahoma State School Board Association, Organization of Rural Oklahoma Schools and Oklahoma Schools Advisory Council as well as Edgenuity as the school’s online curriculum for 2013-14. After reviewing insurance quotes the board approved the property and liability insurance coverage with Oklahoma School Risk Management Trust. Elliott said the insurance premiums increased about $1,500. Workers compensation with OSAG and membership in Oklahoma Public School Unemployment Compensation was also approved. The superintendent said membership in these many above-listed organizations benefits the school in numerous ways. One of those is lobbying for issues to benefit the school at the legislature.
Burlington school board gives raises to support personnel By Yvonne Miller Burlington School’s support personnel got a raise at the June meeting of the Board of Education Monday night. Superintendent Glen Elliott said the raise amounts to $1 per hour. The board approved an increase to the school secretary’s salary of $3,000 per year. Burlington bus drivers were paid $6,200 per year. The board approved an increase for bus drivers pay, taking it up to $7,500 per year. Elliott said the school is currently hiring bus drivers. Board members present were Allison Armbruster, Beth Guffy, Aaron Smith and Terry Graham. Member Roger Allen arrived at 8:30 p.m. Others present included Elliott, Principal Shane Feely, minutes clerk Jan Hill and Mary Anne Hathaway, who will replace Jan as she leaves at the end of June. The board met in an executive session of nearly one and a half hours before approving the personnel raises. The entire meeting lasted nearly three and a half hours. Rick Dirks of Dirks Copy Products and Michelle Hawley from Copiers Plus in Enid attended as the board considered quotes for copiers for the 2013-14 school year. After the presentations, the board approved the quote from Dirks. Elliott said both copier quotes were

Hunting for a horse and a non-existent road Two from Alva charged with possession of paraphernalia By Marione Martin According to documents on file, Alfalfa County Deputy Sheriff Blake Trekell was on routine patrol June 14 about 9 p.m. He was on SH8 about four miles south of US64 when he saw a tan Lincoln Towncar parked off the roadway approximately 50 feet into an oilfield lease road but outside the gate. The driver was later identified as Rosemary Chance, 51, of Alva. In the front passenger seat was Delphine Newman, 62, of Alva. As Deputy Trekell pulled in behind the vehicle, Chance got out immediately and came walking back toward Trekell. He exited his vehicle and met Chance who, according to Trekell, “was doing her best to keep me from walking up to her vehicle.” Trekell asked Chance what they were doing and she said they were looking for County Road 2 so they could take photographs of a horse. She said they had found County Road 1 so they had to be close. She also said they pulled onto the road so Newman could collect a rock, as she was a collector. Trekell knew there was no such road number in Alfalfa County. He walked around the vehicle and Chance constantly stepped between him and the vehicle
making statements about why they had pulled off the road. Trekell asked Chance if she had any identification but she did not. He got identification from Newman and asked Chance to have a seat in his patrol vehicle, as he thought he could smell an odor of alcohol about her person and she seemed extremely nervous and anxious. Once in his vehicle, Trekell asked Chance how much she’d drunk and she said she had only one beer earlier. He asked if there were any illegal substances in the car, and she quickly replied there weren’t. He asked if he could search the vehicle, but she said she’d prefer he didn’t because her family often tried to set her up by planting heroin in the car. She said she had not had the opportunity to detail it. Trekell asked if Newman had been drinking and Chance said she had. He asked about open containers and she said Newman had an open beer in the vehicle. He asked if there were anything else illegal in the vehicle, and she said there was a knife concealed inside the driver’s seat so she could protect herself in Wisconsin where she had been due to her mother’s passing. Trekell asked Chance if she thought there was heroin in the vehicle and she again stated she wouldn’t be surprised what all was in there the way her son tries to set her up. Based on Chance’s statement that there might be heroin in the car, Trekell requested Cherokee Police Department’s
narcotic detection K-9. Once Officer Andrew Minson was on the scene with the dog, Trekell explained the purpose of the K-9. Chance interrupted, giving consent to search the vehicle and asking if they would be able to bond out of jail that night or what would happen. At the vehicle, Trekell asked Newman the location of her open container. She said it was in the floorboard. He asked if she had any weapons on her person and she retrieved a pocket knife. Trekell opened the knife and found a residual substance on the blade that appeared to be some sort of drug residue scraped from something. Without his asking, Newman quickly explained that she used the knife in Wisconsin duck hunting to clean her ducks and that was what was on the knife blade. She also said she was an avid duck hunter and “shot skeet with the best of them.” Newman struggled to stand outside of the vehicle, having to sit on the ground and often moaned in pain stating she had health problems. Newman had nothing else on her person besides her duck-hunting knife. Inside the vehicle, Trekell found a medical tool commonly used as a device called a roach clip tucked between the driver and passenger seats. The device had residue on it similar to the residue on the knife blade. He asked Newman what the device was and she stated, “It looks to me like a roach clip.” Minson found a purse inside the vehicle and Newman said it was hers. Inside was a plastic cigarette box containing a substance that appeared to be a marijuana “roach.” Trekell asked Newman what the marijuana roach was doing in her purse, and she replied it helped with the pain and she didn’t know it was illegal in Oklahoma. Several open containers of alcoholic beverages were found inside the vehicle. Trekell put all the items on the car trunk, and Chance left the patrol vehicle to ask him what it was and where it came from. He detained Chance and placed her back in his vehicle. He asked how often she smoked marijuana, and she admitted she did occasionally. A misdemeanor charge of unlawful possession of paraphernalia was filed against Chance on June 21. Newman was charged with misdemeanor unlawful possession of paraphernalia on June 24.

New aerial photography platform
By Lynn L. Martin As most of you know, I’ve been taking aerial photographs for many years shooting from a Cessna 182 four passenger aircraft. Recently, two inventions have occurred that permit lower cost aerial photography from model aircraft operated by remote control. Model aircraft flying has been a popular hobby for decades. Years ago, such a hobbyist would operate petroleum fueled tiny planes at the end of a long tether with a hand-hold capable of tilting the ailerons or other controls to provide fun acrobatics. Then came radio controlled models, which often have six channels of control and can be unleashed to perform amazing stunts by a skilled operator on the ground. More recently, battery life capacity has improved. So many of these tiny aircraft can fly propelled by miniature electric motors and still be controlled by radio. One can find electric versions of fixed-wing or single-rotor helicopters at the local Radio Shack for $29.95. I’ve bought a few of these with the intent of having attractive grand kid toys, but also with the futile hope of attaching a camera for low altitude aerial photography. Their lifting capacity just wasn’t capable of adding a camera. Top Selling Digital Camera Recently, a tiny camera has likely become the top selling digital camera in America. It is the GoPro Hero3 ($200-$250), which is popular with all sorts of active-people: skydivers, motor cyclists, bike cyclists, cave explorers, marathon runners,
race car drivers and such-like often affix a GoPro to a helmet or handlebar to take great high definition video or timed still photos of their events. Heck, I saw a GoPro attached to the roof of an oil-field pickup truck at McDonald’s the other day. Anyway, this tiny camera is light weight enough to be carried by a model airplane. It takes great hi-def video or timed single frames. It can beam its image back to an iPhone or iPad by WIFI. However the range of that signal is only about 100 feet. Another recent invention is the electric quad-copter. Because it is a hovercraft lifted on See Says Page 24 four corners by electric motors with

Burlington hires coach and teacher, accepts resignation By Yvonne Miller Burlington has a new boys basketball coach and a special education teacher. Burlington’s Board of Education made these decisions at a special meeting Thursday, June 20.
Obituary DELORES ZOOK Graveside services for Dolores Zook, 66, of Waynoka, are pending at Marshall Funeral Home of Waynoka, LLC.
Board President Terry Graham presided over the meeting with all board members present: Roger Allen, Allison Armbruster, Beth Guffy and Aaron Smith. Others attending were Superintendent Glen Elliott, Principal Shane Feely, minutes clerk Jan Hill and newly hired minutes clerk Mary Anne Hathaway, as well as new first grade teacher Jessica Hadwiger. Following a one hour forty-five minute executive session, the board hired some employees and accepted a resignation. One of the hires is Ken Jones as boys basketball coach. Elliott said Jones has over 30 years coaching experience. A native of Hugoton, Kan., Jones coached in northwest Oklahoma, for a while at Carmen-Dacoma. His teams won many championships through the years, including state when he was at Lomega. His wife Betty works for Integris.
Stacie Croft was hired as special education teacher. With 24 years of teaching, Stacie is from Cherokee and part of the Croft Chevrolet family. The board accepted the resignation of Stephanie Marteney, who has been at Burlington the past nine years, most recently as counselor and English IV teacher. A discussion ensued regarding extra duty salary and adjusting some support and certified salaries. The subject was tabled until the next regular board meeting. The temporary contract for new school secretary Mary Anne Hathaway was signed. Progress of building plans and an update on a property purchase at 308 Main Ave. was discussed. Temporary appropriations for 2013-2014 were approved and new education laws were discussed.

whirling propellers, it is a great device for stable aerial photography from a GoPro camera. The quad-copter flying time is about 12 minutes before the battery life is exhausted. The DVI Phantom Quad-Copter has a built in GPS receiver, which is absolutely great. Model radio aircraft rules are that one must keep the aircraft within eye sight. The GPS feature will save your neck if you lose sight of your bird. Simply turn off the radio control transmitter in your hand, and the quadcopter will return using GPS to where it began its flight. By the way, I have a missing quadcopter that did not return home when I cut the signal. I was demonstrating it to grandson Luther Kuhlman in the backyard of our home. I let it get to a couple hundred feet in the air when about a 35 knot wind blew it north across the garage sale going on across the street on Aspen. I cut the power on the transmitter so it would return home. But the strong wind was greater than the power of the tiny eight-inch propellers and it disappeared. There is a surprising amount of forest in the area between our house and Pizza Hut and I suspect it may be lodged in a tree in that area. In an attempt to locate it, I got in my real airplane the next day and took aerial photos along the likely path. Inspection of them produced no sightings. The quad-copter is so tiny – about two-feet square – that I discovered there’s a lot of trash out there about the same size. On one photograph, I saw a very white box in the weeds south of the Pizza Hut parking lot and was sure I had found my missing Phantom. Nope, it was a white styrofoam to-go enclosure from some restaurant. So if you discover my Phantom, I’ll
Here’s a picture of the Phantom Quad-Copter lifting off in front of the newspaper office. This one has a GoPro Hero 3 camera mounted between the landing gear. I am embarassed to say I allowed one of these to get away from me in high wind (lesson: don’t fly in high wind - same rule as private planes) and I’ve yet to find it. Fortunately, I had no camera mounted on that one. pay a reward to get it back. However, I am skeptical it will be found. It had about five minutes of battery life left, which would keep it aloft in that 35 knot wind for a while, so it could easily end up across the river north of town. I have another, as I am serious about mastering this as an aerial photography platform. I’ve read that the U.S. government has promised to have more precise rules in place by 2015 to cover a booming commercial drone market. Everybody from law-enforcement to farmers wanting to count cattle is very excited about the potential. One of the things I keep hearing about is that individual drones can violate people’s privacy over their back yard fences. I suppose that is a possibility, but one can violate privacy in a far more effective manner from a light plane or helicopter. A heavy long gyrostabilized telephoto lens at 500 feet in a light plane is far more of an intruder
than a wide-angle GoPro lens at 400 feet in a quad-copter. (Both legal altitudes.) The ads for the Phantom Quad-Copter say it is easy to fly. I will answer that by saying, “sorta.” Back in the day when I took my pilot training, my instructor expected me to solo in about ten hours of instruction. I would say it will take about ten hours of time to master a quad-copter. The reason is the thing can rotate in air and what used to be the front is now the back and the right is now the left. So if you get it turned around while flying, all of a sudden your controls are reversed. I’m quite sure this device will become very popular with photographers and news organizations who can’t afford light airplanes. I can see it becoming quite a hobby to expand the existing crowd of RC plane hobbyists. If you look at the DVI website, they had dealers in dozens of countries all over the world.

Bid accepted for bowling alley demo, tax increase likely after budgetary talks Kiowa City Council
By Yvonne Miller Demolition of the condemned former bowling alley building in Kiowa, Kan., is closer to happening and so are increased taxes to cover the proposed 2014 budget. These two subjects were topics discussed by Kiowa’s city council at a 7 a.m. meeting Monday. This was a continuation of the council’s regular June 10 meeting. All members attended: Mayor Brandon Farney and council members Bill Watson, R.L. Simpson, Russel Molz, Tom Wells and Mark Lambert. City Administrator Nathan Law and City Clerk Marlo Rugg were also present. The council previously opened and discussed bids submitted for demolition of the 642 Main St. property (former bowling alley) and also the neighboring structure to the west known as the former Kiowa Service Building at 634 Main St. After brief discussion, the council voted to accept the low bid submitted by Jackson’s Wrecking Company of Enid for $48,000. The council recalled that years ago Jackson’s tore down the build-
ing that was beside People’s Bank on the south side of Main St. in Kiowa. The three others who submitted bids were Barker Sand and Gravel LLC of Harper, $76,500; G&G Dozier of Caney, Kan., $65,000; Midwest Wrecking Co., of Oklahoma City, $221,705. Tax Lien Against Kiowa Service Building Holds Up Demolition A glitch in the demolition is that the Kiowa Service Building was in the recent sheriff’s tax foreclosure sale, as the property taxes on that property hadn’t been paid in years. Law said the Small Business Administration has a federal lien on that property. With compounded interest through the years, Law said the federal lien against the Kiowa Services Building is now $550,197.64, according to the Journal Entry Judgment. As reported last month, at the sheriff’s tax foreclosure sale Farney pur-
chased the Kiowa Service Building for $112. In turn, the city bought the building from Farney for $113. Legally the city cannot tear down the Kiowa Service Building for one year due to the federal tax lien, Law explained. However, city attorney Laurel McClellan is hopeful that he can get the building released before one year. The problem with demolition is that the two buildings share a common wall. The council is fairly certain that when the bowling alley demolition occurs that the Kiowa Service Building will also fall. The ceiling on the 25 x 140 foot building is already collapsing. The city certainly does not want to violate any laws with the federal government. Molz summed up the situation when he said, “We’re dealing with red tape.” See Kiowa Page 36

Medicine Lodge city council urges water customers to reduce water use MEDICINE LODGE, Kan. – The Medicine Lodge mayor and city council ask water customers to reduce water use due to the city’s water supply suffering from ongoing drought conditions. If water consumption is not voluntarily reduced, the city council plans to declare a water emergency in accordance with its water conservation policy. This means all outdoor water use would be banned, waste would be prohibited and emergency water rates would be considered. Violations in an emergency status could result in fines, additional cost and loss of privileges. The city council declared May 20,
2013, a water warning and asked for the following conservation efforts to be observed: • Outdoor watering will be restricted to the use of a hand-held hose or bucket only. (This means using only hand-held lawn sprinklers). • For lawn watering, all residents with odd-numbered house addresses will water on odd days; even addresses will water on even days. • Outdoor water use, including lawn watering and car washing, will be restricted to before 10 a.m. and after 9 p.m. • Refilling of swimming pools will be allowed one day a week after sunset. • “Waste of water” is prohibited. Since the declaration, water use has continued at its usual pace. The continued use of water for non-essential purposes may result in the city’s
wells being compromised and unable to produce water at all. As such, the city council hopes all customers understand the seriousness of the situation. For more information, please visit the city’s web site at http://www.medicinelodge.ks.gov and the Kansas Water Office’s Drought Watch at http:// www.kwo.org/reports_publications/ Drought.htm. For ideas on how you can conserve water, visit the “Water – Use It Wisely” campaign’s web site at http://wateruseitwisely.com. The campaign is an ongoing effort by a group of cities, states and other organizations around the United States that share the desire to protect the natural resource. The City of Medicine Lodge will notify area media and place information on utility bills if an emergency is declared or if the situation changes.

By Alex Cole At a regular meeting on Monday, the Alfalfa County Commissioners voted to go out on bids for the resurfacing of Greer Road’s blacktop. Commissioner Chad Roach said, “I was wanting to do the entire ten mile stretch originally, but due to funding we’re going to just try to tie three miles. Woods County has joined us, tying the fourth mile in.” Roach also reported a total of approximately $40,000 in repairs for Greer Road just during the last few months. “I feel like we’re just throwing money away,” he said. He plans to use money from the Emergency Transportation and Revolving Fund (ETR) for this project. Also on the agenda was a contract agreement and road application to receive the funds needed to resurface the road. After approval of the Greer Road blacktop resurfacing, the commissioners
approved minutes from the last meeting, payroll warrants, M & O warrants and road crossing permits. There were no blanket purchase orders submitted to the commissioners. The next agenda item was the approval for the Alfalfa County Clerk to go out on bids for a flatbed truck for District 1. The commissioners then discussed employees who have not yet turned in their forms to receive direct deposit. The board decided to designate a time for the employees to pick up a check until they submit direct deposit forms. The Association of County Commissioners of Oklahoma Self Insurance Group sent renewal quotes to the commissioners. The board chose the first option, which requires a full payment of $72,430. The last item approved was an easement at NE 1/4 Sec 5 T27N 9W.

Alva woman Alfalfa County to resurface Greer Road arrested for shoplifting By Marione Martin An Alva woman has been charged with misdemeanor larceny of merchandise from a retailer in Alfalfa County. The charge was filed on June 19 against Elizabeth Susan Kennedy, 47. According to documents in the case, Cherokee Police Officer Andrew Minson responded to a shoplifting report at Alco on June 19 at 12:27 p.m. He talked with Michelle Harper, the manager of Alco, who said she and another employee saw a woman identified as Elizabeth Kennedy put several items of clothing into her purse. They confronted her and told her they were going to call 911. They said Kennedy began to try to put the items back on the shelf. The manager escorted Kennedy to her office at the back of the store. Minson talked with Kennedy who said she knew what she did was wrong but she would like to go home. She said she had money on her but not enough to pay for the items, which included two panty and bra sets for $12.99 each, one pair of panties for $3.99 and one lingerie set for $14.99. Kennedy was placed under arrest for shoplifting and transported to the Alfalfa County Jail.

Wheat Harvest 2013: a rollercoaster ride in Newsgram reading area
By Yvonne Miller Tuesday morning, area elevator operators in the Newsgram reading area of northwest Oklahoma and south central Kansas reported wheat harvest results as varied as the highs and lows of a rollercoaster. The low spots definitely outnumber the highs in the 2013 wheat crop, which saw severe drought conditions, several late freezes and even hail in some places. The Cherokee and Dacoma areas probably win the prize for the crops that best survived adverse conditions. Wheat along the Oklahoma/Kansas border in Alfalfa, Woods and Barber counties gets the booby prize.
One thing everyone seems to have in common is relief that this harvest is more than 90 percent complete. Cherokee Area Better Than Expected Cherokee area co-op manager Shane Parker said their cutting is about 95 percent complete. “It’s been a better than expected harvest,” Parker said. “We caught more showers and the freeze didn’t hurt as bad as we thought.” He said Cherokee’s elevators have taken in between 1.5 and 1.6 million bushels, “which is probably a little better than average. It was so good last year we took in 1.7 million bushels.”
Average yields around Cherokee were 35-40 bushels per acre. Test weights averaged 59-60 pounds per bushel, Parker said. Dacoma/Jet Area Average Yields Near 40s “We were in a good area this year,” Dacoma/Jet area co-op manager Doug Locke said. “We’re not quite done – 90 to 95 percent probably,” Locke said. Wheat averaged in the high 30 to low 40 bushels per acre. Test weights “were not too bad. The quality was decent with an average test weight of 59 plus,” Locke said. He was referring to crops in the area of Dacoma, Jet, Waynoka, Freedom and Mooreland. Contributing to the rollercoaster theory, Locke said a wheat truck driver who had been in the Helena area reported a field that produced 70 bushels to the acre. “I can’t confirm that but I have heard of good yields closer to Enid.” “It’s been an interesting harvest,” Locke said. Kiowa, Kan., Area Wheat Below Average Steve Inslee, manager of O.K. Grain, which covers the Kiowa, Hardtner and Hazelton, Kan., area said, “We are about to wind this one down.” Inslee described the 2013 crop as “a very strange harvest – one that came in totally different than normal. I heard one yield at 70, others under 20 (bushels per acre).” He said area crops averaged yields of 30-33 bushels per acre. Test weights averaged in the 58 range. O.K. Grain has taken in nearly 1.5 million bushels of grain at this point, which Inslee said, “is a little under our average.” He said they usually take in at least two million bushels. Last year O.K. Grain took in three million bushels, as it was an exceptional year. He said crops were “tremendously better” if they were fertilized and sprayed for weeds – “taken care of as they should be.” He noted that many farmers did not spray and fertilize as usual because they weren’t even sure they would have a crop worth cutting. “I would take that two or three inch rain right now. We have some fall crops See Harvest Page 39

Kiowa
The administrator explained that once the city and Jackson’s has their contract in place, Jackson’s has 90 days to complete the demolition. Law said he may have to request an extension for the guaranteed price for at the most two months until the tax lien mess is solved. Wells said he feels getting the unsightly bowling alley building down as quickly as possible is important, as “It slows down economic development in Kiowa.” Another major concern is the buildings are a breeding ground for annoying, disease-infested pigeons and other creatures. Budget Review Suggests Tax Increase Law presented the council with the proposed 2014 budget totaling $2,711,138. He spoke briefly of each department – the addition of cost of living raises. He told about adjusting the amounts transferred within accounts to better accommodate paying the wages/salaries
of employees who do the most work in that particular area. He revamped pay in the police department based on years of experience. Law noted the city’s generator payments end in June 2014, which is good. He’s set aside $10,000/year in the trash department budget toward the purchase of a new trash truck. Molz suggested the city consider the purchase of a backhoe because water department head James Duvall does most of the work himself anyway. “A backhoe would pay for itself,” Molz said. “I’ve done a conservative budget,” Law said. “We’ve reduced costs the last several years about as much as we can.” “You are looking at a tax increase,” Law told council. He reminded the council that the city has not increased millage the last two years. Current mills are 39.858. Law said a total of 53.244 mills are needed. So a millage increase of 13.858 (13.4 mills) is needed to meet the proposed
budget, Law said. That millage increase would generate about $63,900. The administrator told the council they might also want to consider raising rates in some departments that are not “paying their way.” For example, water rates, Watson said. Farney said, “We can’t operate in the red. We’ve got to support our departments. We can’t keep robbing from the electric fund.” Council members discussed how a millage increase falls back on property owners. They considered that if you increase sales tax, everyone pays. People pay a total of 7.3 percent sales tax in Kiowa, which is one of the lowest percentages in the area. Simpson reminded the council that having one of the lowest tax rates is good for Kiowa merchants – especially on big ticket items. Lambert said he would like to have Law compare the amount generated from sales tax versus a mill levy. Law will get information from the county clerk and share it with the council at their July meeting. Shell Oil Update Farney said he received an update recently from a Shell Oil representative regarding their activity in the Kiowa area. Farney said the rep told him Shell Oil has completed their “research phase” here. Shell is now in the “analysis phase” of what they found in the Kiowa area. The Shell rep reportedly said it will take about a year to decide whether they’ll come back to drill here. In other action, the mayor called for a 15-minute executive session to discuss personnel at the end of the meeting. Upon return to open session the council took no action except to adjourn the nearly one and a half hour meeting.

South Barber pays P1 Rare snow Group and approves end- leopard of-fiscal-year business born at By Yvonne Miller At a meeting lasting about 20 minutes last Thursday morning at 7 a.m., South Barber’s Board of Education conducted end-of-the-fiscal-year business. Bills totaling $1,045,945.14 were approved. President Kent Swartz noted the bulk of that total is payment to P1 Group, which is making improvements at the grade school this summer. That payment to P1 was $955,562.59. The remainder is year-end expenses. Superintendent Brad Morris said USD No. 255’s auditor Randy Ford was in the office Monday. They did all the transfers necessary to zero out the general fund and supplemental accounts as required by law. The board approved end-of-year encumbrances for textbook purchases,
payment of dues and insurances, athletic expenditures, reader materials, furniture, equipment and supplies for the 2013-14 school year. Also receiving board approval was a transfer of the remaining unencumbered cash balance in the general fund to capital outlay or other special funds after receiving the final 2012-13 state aid payment the first week of July. The board approved the 2013-14 Child Nutrition Program Agreement and Wellness Policy. Morris said these are the annual programs for child nutrition. The superintendent reminded the board that schools must follow these programs or lose federal aid. The board also approved a waiver of notice and the contract with the Kansas Association of School Boards.
Tulsa Zoo
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — The Tulsa Zoo says an endangered snow leopard cub has been born. The zoo said Monday that the cub was born on May 10 and is now 7 weeks old. The animal had two siblings but neither survived. One died when being born and the other died nine days later from an infection. Zoo officials say the surviving cub, Nico, is doing well. Nico is being hand-raised by zoo staff because the mother, Sherab, had birth-related complications and the two had to be separated. The Tulsa Zoo has housed snow leopards since the 1980s and other snow leopard cubs have been born at the facility. There are only an estimated 4,000 to 6,500 snow leopards left in the wild in northern India and China.

Convicted killer meets Okla. gov. who freed him By Sean Murphy OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Freed from prison after nearly 25 years, convicted killer Aaron Cosar always wanted to shake the hand of the man who granted him his freedom. On Monday, Cosar got his opportunity. Former Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry, who commuted Cosar's life sentence and signed his parole, surprised the ex-convict by dropping by the classroom where Cosar now teaches life skills to other former inmates. "This is a shock. You're going to make me start crying," Cosar told Henry as the ex-governor strolled into Cosar's small teaching space at The Education and Employment Ministry. "I really just want to thank you." Cosar was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 1986 for the shooting death of an Ada man after a night of drinking when Cosar was 19 years old. He served nearly 25 years in prison before Henry agreed to commute his sentence and sign his parole. Cosar was released two years ago. Henry, a Democrat, said he was swayed in part by Cosar's

that look good right now and could use it,” Inslee said. Burlington Crop Below Average Burlington area co-op manager Robbie Newman said cutting in that area is about 90 percent finished. “In February the moisture from snow had us hopeful for the crop. (It was) certainly better than December when we had no rain,” Newman said. “Then we just couldn’t make it to the end.” Newman said yields averaged in the 35 bushels per acre range with reports from fields making 20 to the 40s. Burlington’s elevators have taken in a little over a million bushels so far. On an average year Burlington takes in nearly 1.7 million bushels, Newman said. Alva Wheat Maybe Half of Last Year “I’m afraid we’re running out of acres to cut and we don’t have the acres we need,” said Ronnie Truelock, general manager of the Farmer’s Cooperative in Alva. He estimates the area to be 90 percent finished. Because there were so many fields that only yielded in the range of 15 bushels per acre, with lots of fields averaging 30 bushels plus and a few in the 40s, Truelock said the average is only going to be in the mid-20s. Grain test weights averaged “a little above 58, which makes it a marketable crop if we execute to market it.” Truelock said the wheat south of Alva was the best. “The (random) rain really made the difference,” he said. “The drought hurt, but nobody can pinpoint one exact reason why the crop turned out below average this year,” Truelock said. “This harvest we probably took in less than half of what we did last year,” Truelock said of the cooperative’s Alva-area elevators. “Last year was one of the best years since I’ve been here.”
work in a prison ministry and that he helped teach a life skills course to other inmates. "There are many clear indicators of success outside of the prison walls. People can overcome their challenges and be successful," Henry said. "I wasn't the least bit concerned that he wasn't going to succeed and become the person who he is. "He made a mistake way back when, and he paid the price and learned from that mistake, and now he's helping other people." In an unusual move, Pontotoc County District Attorney Chris Ross, who was a young prosecutor when he sent Cosar to prison, said his office did not object to Cosar's parole the second time he was eligible to be released. "He may be the only person I've ever put in prison for life for murder that I haven't protested," Ross said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "It was a deal where I looked at what he'd done, how young he was. I looked at his prison record and his conduct and what he'd done while he was in prison. "I'm glad to hear he's doing well. I hope he continues." Now married and living in Bethany, Cosar, 47, teaches courses on workforce and relationship skills, anger management and how to transition to life outside of prison for TEEM. About 70 percent of the nonprofit group's clients are ex-convicts, and Cosar began working there after his release.
