These lil firecrackers put the dandy in Yankee Doodle

By Yvonne Miller A highlight of the Hardtner, Kansas, Fourth of July parade is always the winner of the Lil Firecracker contest. This year two winners were selected: the Lil Firecracker and the Little Miss Firecracker.

Tennessee Cook looks sweeter than

the biggest lollipop as the Lil Firecracker winner. Tennessee is the daughter of Garrett and Holly Cook of Hardtner. The Little Miss Firecracker is Lexie Lohmann, daughter of Garrett and Emily Lohmann of Hardtner, who shines brighter than a sparkler.

Hardtner’s Fourth of July Lil Firecracker is Tennessee Cook.

Winning the title of Little Miss Firecracker at Hardtner’s Fourth of July celebration is Lexie Lohmann.

Lynn Says

Loneliness: same effect as smoking 15 cigarettes per day

By Lynn L. Martin (Portions of these thoughts were composed by Joe Hadfield. Tim Smith and Julianne Holt-Lunstad.)

This is really interesting.

New research from Brigham Young University shows that loneliness and social isolation actually surpass health risks associated with obesity, something that everyone in the public health sector takes very seriously.

In trying to emphasize the devastating effect of loneliness, one statement from the study says, “The heightened risk of mortality from loneliness is in the same category as smoking 15 cigarettes a day along with being an alcoholic.”

In absorbing related information relating to long life, most people have accepted that if you’ll exercise, take Omega-3s, and see your doctor regularly, you’re on your way to a healthier and longer life.

Holt-Lunstad said, “We need to start taking our social relationships more seriously.”

“In essence,” said Tim Smith, “the study is saying the more positive psychology we have in our world, the better we’re able to function not just emotionally but physically.”

There are many things that help to subdue the effects of loneliness. With the evolution of the internet, people can keep in contact over distances that they couldn’t before. However, the superficiality of some online experiences may miss emotional context and depth. Too much texting with each other can actually hurt a romantic relationship, for example. The authors of that texting study note, however, that saying something sweet or kind in a text is universally beneficial.

The association between loneliness

and risk for mortality among young populations is actually greater than among older populations. Although older people are more likely to be lonely and face a higher mortality risk, loneliness and social isolation better predict premature death among populations younger than 65 years.

“Not only are we at the highest recorded rate of living alone across the entire century, but we’re at the highest recorded rates ever on the planet,” said Tim Smith, co-author of the study.

“With loneliness on the rise, we are predicting a possible loneliness epidemic in the future.”

The study analyzed data from a variety of health studies. Altogether, the sample included more than three million participants from studies that included data for loneliness, social isolation and living alone.

Controlling for variables such as socioeconomic status, age, gender and pre-existing health conditions, they found that the effect goes both ways. The lack of social connections presents an added risk, and the existence of relationships provides a positive health effect. The new study appears in “Perspectives on Psychological Science.”

Want an immediate booster-shot? Start attending church on Sunday. Virtually all churches in Alva fall over backwards to welcome and accept visitors that show up.

Then you can become involved as much as you have time.

“Too much texting with each other can actually hurt a romantic relationship, for example.”

South Barber School Board reorganizes for 2016-17 school year

By Yvonne Miller South Barber’s Board of Education held their July meeting Monday night which was primarily reorganization for the 2016-17 year.

Board members voted to keep the same elected and appointed positions including: President Steve Allen, VicePresident Mark Pollock, Board Clerk Julie Johnson, Deputy Clerk Luke MacKinney and Treasurer Walter Fry. Other than the board members mentioned above, all attended including: Mike Miller, Melissa Simpson, Dooli Rugg, Deb Helfrich and Mariah Doherty. Superintendent Dr. Andi Williams also sat at the board table.

Current bills were approved at $258,032.48 for June and approximately $38,500 so far for July.

Grade 7-12 Principal Brent Shaffer gave a brief report on summer activities. He said driver’s education is complete with 14 students completing the course. FFA officers attended training and three FFA members are attending Leadership Camp in Washington, D.C. Basketball camp is ongoing and ends today. Summer weights continue through July.

Shaffer said they await a few positions to be filled before finalizing the schedule for student enrollment.

Unless USD 255 gets a foreign language teacher at the last minute,

ANDI WILLIAMS

students will take a foreign language of their choice in an online class. Shaffer said he along with Superintendent Williams and Technology Director Luke MacKinney attended an EdCamp in Dodge City.

Although he and his wife are just getting settled into a home in Kiowa, new PK – 6 Principal Eric Stoddard attended the board meeting.

Readers may remember hearing about a picture in retiring teacher Jeanie Albright’s room that she’s had hanging in her room nearly 40 years.

Not knowing how this picture was left at the school, Albright offered to purchase it from the school. At the last board meeting, the board agreed to let Albright have the picture for one dollar.

Since then, Superintendent Williams said longtime Kiowa resident and musician Donita Ragan told the superintendent that her mother was in a music ensemble years ago at the school and the artist Birger Sandzen of Lindsburg, Kansas, created the lithograph. He liked hearing the talented ensemble and was known to “gift” his drawings. Ragan told the superintendent she believed her mother would be happy that Albright loved the picture and she’d be happy for the retiring teacher to have it.

Board member Simpson told her peers about a summer food service

program through the government that offers free meals for youth age 0-18.

It’s being tried in Medicine Lodge this summer. If successful, Simpson would like to have it in Kiowa as well. The board agreed to look at it later.

Reorganization Items Meal prices were approved by the board. The cost is increased by 10 cents per meal. Breakfast costs – elementary, $1.90; 7-12, $2.10; adult, $3.20. Lunch costs – elementary, $2.60; 7-12, $2.85; adult, $3.70. Extra milk for all ages is 50 cents.

Textbook and workbook rental prices are: pre-k – sixth grade, $25; first – sixth grade textbook, $25; seventh – 12th grade workbook, $25; seventh – 12th grade workbook, $30; Student Activity Tickets are $30; Family Activity Tickets are $100; Adult Activity Tickets are $40.

Mileage reimbursement is 54 cents/mile.

USD 255’s attorney is the Kansas Association of School Boards. The official newspaper is The Kiowa News. The auditor is Busby, Smith and Ford.

The board approved a long list of routine reorganization items.

The board plans a Strategic Planning Work Session July 20 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., at the district office.

The teachers spoke of creating goals for the year together and using the ideas from the conference in their own classrooms this year.

The principal’s and superintendent’s reports both had good things to say about the upcoming school year. The testing scores have increased, and enrollment is being prepared for. Enrollment packets are to be mailed this week, and the three-year-old program is already filled up, with a waiting list. Cherokee Public Schools is doing well financially, despite

irregular spending costs due to building expenses, etc.

Feely and Hawkins hired as Burlington basketball coaches Superintendent and other contracts signed

By Yvonne Miller The Burlington Elks basketball team has a new head coach and assistant. The Lady Elks have a new assistant coach and the junior high and elementary school boys have a new head coach. The superintendent and employee contracts were signed and stipends approved; the board reorganized for the 2016-17 school year at their July meeting.

The Burlington Board of Education met for their July meeting last Thursday morning that took about two-and-a-half hours.

Board President Terry Graham called the meeting to order with all members present including: Allison Armbruster, Aaron Smith, Robert Hill and T.J. Rockenbach. Others present were: Superintendent Glen Elliott, Principal Shane Feely, and Minutes Clerk Tamre McGinnis.

Principal Shane Feely is the new head coach of the Burlington Elks. He played basketball as an Elk, graduating from BHS in 1993. After graduating from Northwestern Oklahoma State University (NWOSU) in 1997, Feely taught and coached many years.

Some of his coaching experience was at Drummond, Waynoka, Buffalo and Okeene before joining Burlington

School as principal in 2012.

Austin Hawkins is a junior at NWOSU and will assist Feely with the Burlington Elks and Lady Elks head coach Kirsten Pruett. Hawkins will be the head coach for the junior high and elementary school teams.

Elliott said the board was able to hire Hawkins as a paraprofessional who can coach and work with special education students. He’ll do his student teaching at Burlington in the spring of 2016-17.

Contracts Signed and Stipends Approved The contract of Superintendent Elliott was signed. The contracts for 11 month employee Shane Feely and 12 month employees Tamre McGinnis, Brenda Stricker, Fawnda Martin, David Cass, and Travis Bradshaw were signed by board members.

The board approve all certified employee stipends for staff development sessions during the 2016-17 school year. Those stipends are $3,000 each, Elliott said.

The board approved the support salary schedule, which is an increase of about 50 cents per hour, Elliott said. The board also approved the adjusted extra duty pay schedule with the additional change in the amount of the high school girls basketball coach. Elliott said most extra duty pay increased, based upon other small

schools in the area.

With the retirement of sixth-grade teacher Terry Pederson, the board still searches for her replacement.

They tabled employing an elementary teacher until the next meeting.

Reorganization and Other Business Elliott said the school district did not take in quite as much in tax revenues as expected last month so the school’s carry-over is closer to $2,173,000. He said they await legislative changes before final changes are made to the school’s policy handbooks.

The superintendent reported about the ongoing summer maintenance such as duct work, an update on the library and bus inspections.

Elliott and the board briefly discussed letters received regarding the Sandridge bankruptcy and filing for reorganization. The superintendent said the school doesn’t need to do anything at this point.

A quote for guttering on the house at 308 Main in the amount of $1,801 from Papon and Sons received board approval.

Property and liability insurance coverage with the Oklahoma Schools Risk Management Trust (OSRMT) was approved at $28,525.00 for 2016-17.

A review of the activities calendar and fund raising requests for 2016-17 was discussed and approved.

Teacher Judy Elliott made a short presentation regarding the changes to the Student Handbook and the board policy book for 2016-17. The board approved them with the understanding that there could be future changes.

Budget revisions for the 2015-16 year were approved as was: the June activity report; the use of “signature facsimile” stamps for the board of education officers; the section 125 Flexible Benefits Plan with American Fidelity.

The following encumbrances,

Shawn Dirden selected to lead NWOSU men’s basketball program NWOSU Sports Information Northwestern Oklahoma State Director of Athletics Brad Franz announced the selection of Shawn Dirden as the new leader of the men’s basketball program.

“I am very pleased with the hiring of Shawn Dirden and having him and his family joining Northwestern Oklahoma State University,” Franz said. “Coach Dirden’s philosophies regarding academics, personal student growth and development of individual and team basketball are exactly what we were looking for and fall right in line with Northwestern Athletics. I know he will provide the leadership and guidance for our team as a whole and the players individually. His team will play very hard, will be well coached and will be ready to work towards the goal of being one of the top teams in the Great American Conference. He has worked for some excellent coaches and programs and knows what it takes to build a winner. I have every confidence in his abilities to build our program in all aspects.”

Dirden joins the Ranger family after a two-year stint at the University of North Dakota where he was an assistant for the Fighting Hawks.

“I’m truly honored to be the next head coach at Northwestern Oklahoma State. I want to thank President Dr. Janet Cunningham and Athletic Director Brad Franz for this opportunity,” Dirden said.

“Shawn’s player and coach experiences will be invaluable to Ranger men’s basketball. He is an impressive individual and I know our program will be in good hands,” Cunningham said.

As part of the UND coaching staff,

Dirden was responsible for player development of guards and post players as well as a recruiter of both the high school and junior college levels.

During his first season at North Dakota, the team finished the season at 8-22 with a 4-14 record in the Big Sky conference, but with his assistance, they made a large jump forward this past season, finishing above .500 in both overall record at 17-16 and in league play at 108.

Prior to assignment at UND, Dirden was a member of the Montana State from both 2006-2008 and 2014-2016 where he was tasked with being the recruiting coordinator. He was also in charge of player development of both guards and post players as well as scouting and development of game plans.

Dirden was also a member of the University of South Dakota coaching staff during the 2005-2006 season, following a three-year stint at Cherokee Trail High School I Aurora, Colorado, where he was the head coach for the varsity, sophomore and freshmen teams.

Before becoming head coach at Cherokee Trail, Dirden tested the college ranks of coaching at Indian Hills Community College as an assistant for one year before taking his second head coaching position.

His first head coaching opportunity came at George Washington high school

in Denver, Colorado, where he spent three seasons.

Prior to his coaching career, Dirden played professional basketball, which included overseas play in Venezuela, Lebanon, China, Sweden, Korea and Holland. Dirden also participated in the Phoenix Suns’ rookie veterans camp in 1997 before playing for the Idaho Stampede in the Continental Basketball Association. He also spent time with the Columbus Cagerz of the United States Basketball League.

His father was also a professional athlete, as he played in the NFL for three seasons.

What led him to his professional playing days were his years at both the University of Idaho where he attained his bachelor’s in secondary education: history and political science in 2002, and at Otero Junior College where he played for his mentor, Franz for two seasons.

“Brad Franz has been a mentor of mine for over 25 years and to be chosen to lead his men’s basketball program is an opportunity I could not pass up. He put this program into a great position to succeed and I’m confident we’ll continue on that path. My family and I are excited to get started in Alva and become a part of the community,” Dirden said.

Dirden and his wife, Sierra, have a son, Damian (10) and a daughter Taylor (6).

Barber County Relay for Life raises over $35,000 for cancer research Brenda Myers, honorary chairwoman for 2016 Relay, comments about her experience

By Yvonne Miller This summer’s Relay for Life in Barber County, Kansas, raised over $35,000 to combat cancer, a wicked disease that has affected nearly everyone in some way – whether they are a cancer survivor, a loved one or friend, or the dear souls whose bodies succumbed to the killer.

Held in Medicine Lodge, Kansas, an estimated 100 cancer survivors and supporters gathered to raise money for research to find a cure for the disease.

With temperatures sweltering near 100 that day, the relay, scheduled to occur on Main Street was moved inside to the Christian church, which then lost their air conditioning so the event eventually happened inside the Methodist church.

This year Brenda Myers, a four-year breast cancer survivor from Kiowa, was asked to be the honorary chairwoman for the relay. She led the first lap of cancer survivors and also spoke to the group.

Myers said, “It was my faith, my family and my friends who got

me through it. I will always be there for anyone else going through this – whatever kind of cancer they have.”

She spoke of the support from other breast cancer survivors, remembering the calendar a group of them in Barber County made – bald or not. “I told what an inspiration my mom is to me because she’s gone through cancer twice and kicked it. I thanked my friend Miranda (Allen) for standing beside me because she had just been through it. And all those who did things for my family – cooked for us, cleaned my house, so many things – it all means more than you’ll ever know.”

Myers mentioned a group of young kids who sang at Relay for Life. They made up a song to thank the firefighters for all they had done to battle the huge Anderson Creek Fire. “The song was beautiful,” she said. Regarding that song, Myers said that she and Relay for Life Chairman Cindy Brungardt of Medicine Lodge “really applied that smoke and fire to going through a disease like this.

All you can do is have your faith and keep going one day at a time.”

People purchased over 1,000 luminaries in honor of survivors and in memory of those who lost their battle with cancer, according to organizer and 16-year cancer survivor Debbie Winter of Medicine Lodge. Besides helping to raise funds, the luminaries bring emotions to the surface as people are remembered at a ceremony.

Myers thanked everyone who supported Relay for Life. She said the mood was festive as volunteers prepared a hamburger feed and they held an auction to raise funds for Barber County’s Relay for Life organization.

Barber County has several groups who battle cancer together. In Kiowa, the Pistol Packin’ Mamas work hard

Kiowa woman Brenda Myers, a fouryear cancer survivor, is honorary chairwoman for Barber County’s Relay for Life this year. throughout the year “to shoot down cancer.” PPM’s treasurer Julia Fritze confirmed they raised $15,105.50 this past year. This group is seen working concession stands, serving patrons at the Border Line Theatre’s dinner performances and much more throughout the year to raise funds for cancer research.

Winter said Medicine Lodge has two teams who raise funds. They are Hope’s Dream Team through the Citizen’s Bank; and The Pink Team through the First Christian Church. A team from Coldwater called The Chile Peppers also contribute to the Barber County fight cancer effort. Winter said these groups do a variety of fundraisers. One of their biggest is selling pies and other sweets. An especially popular event is Quartermania, where women gather for an evening of fun, refreshments and shopping.

Winter said of the over $35,000 raised this year, surpassing their countywide goal of $33,000, “It was excellent – we were surprised, especially after (The Anderson Creek) fire.”

Felony drug charge against Helena man

By Marione Martin A Helena man was arrested on drug charges on July 4 at Great Salt Plains State Park (GSP) in Alfalfa County.

According to court papers, Oklahoma Park Ranger Kyle Hair was on foot patrol with Ranger Webster at the north spillway when they saw two men fishing.

As they approached, the rangers saw one of the men slide something under his foot where he was sitting.

Hair asked the man, Teddy Wilburn, to stand up and step out of the way. When he did so, Hair saw an orange-colored pill bottle where his foot had been. He picked it up and saw it contained a green

leafy substance that had the distinct odor of marijuana.

Ranger Hair asked Wilburn if he had anything else illegal on him.

Wilburn reached into the right pocket of his shorts and pulled out a silver “one hitter” marijuana pipe. Hair asked if he had anything else back at his camp, and Wilburn said he did not. He asked Wilburn who owned the marijuana, and he said, “It’s a little bit of everybody’s.”

Wilburn was placed under arrest and taken to the Alfalfa County Jail for booking.

When he received Wilburn’s criminal record, Hair discovered that Wilburn

has been charged at least eight different times for possession of a controlled dangerous substance or marijuana.

On July 7 Teddy W. Wilburn, 36, of Helena was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance within 1,000 feet of a park, a felony. He was also charged with a misdemeanor of possession of drug paraphernalia. He posted an appearance bond, and his next appear appearance in court will be Aug. 10 at 9:30 a.m.

The felony possession charge is punishable by imprisonment of up to two to ten years.

Tips from a Trooper

By Trooper Randy McCullough HOT and RAINY; time to check your air pressure.

This time of the year we see more flat or blown tires on the highways due to the heat. Heat is the worst enemy of tires and this heat comes from the hot roadway as well as the heat generated by the tire itself. We may not be able to control the heat from the weather, but by checking our tires we can help eliminate some of the heat the tire generates. The

heat generated by the tire is caused by the flexing of the tire. The lower the tire pressure, the more the sidewall of the tire flexes, causing more heat. Driving on a low tire can cause internal tire damage that you will not see until the tire completely fails. Keeping the tire at the proper tire pressure helps keep the tire from flexing as much, eliminating some of the heat.

Now as for the rain, a tire with low air pressure hydroplanes easier. This

is because the low air pressure allows more surface area in contact with the water on the roadway, causing the tire to ride on top of the water and not displace it to the side. Again, we cannot control the weather, but we can check our tire pressure to help keep us from hydroplaning in the rain. Keeping the tire at the proper tire pressure allows the tire to displace the water easier, keeping better contact with the road surface.

So, how do you know what your tire pressure should be? Every vehicle should have a sticker on the driver’s door or the pillar behind the door. If not there, check your owner’s manual or call a dealer. The tire pressure or (PSI) given should be checked when the tire is cold, or before the vehicle is driven. If you check the pressure after the vehicle has been driven, the pressure will be slightly higher, due to the air warming and expanding. Also, never exceed the maximum cold PSI tire pressure as marked on the sidewall of the tire.

So, get out there and check that tire pressure. You should check your tire pressure at least once a month to be safe. It could keep you from being stuck on the side of the roadway, either from having to stop to change a tire or running off the roadway due to hydroplaning. Also, if you see someone stopped on the side of the roadway changing a tire, be safe by slowing down and giving them some room.
