By Lynn L. Martin Newly hired Superintendent Loren Tackett has inherited a major problem as he begins his first month of work: school starts on Aug. 9 and he still needs a math teacher and an English teacher to complete the staff.

The school board spent about 25 minutes in executive session discussing one teacher resignation (Kandee Almgren, who changed jobs to Alva) and the search for teachers for the two open positions. When they exited the executive session, the chairman announced there were no candidates.

The most significant change was to increase the pre-K program from a half day to a full day this fall. The same teacher will be used, but the superintendent said he has given her permission to search for what items will be needed to handle those children another half day. The board agreed that no parent would be required to send their child for a full day, but if they elected to go only a half day they would need to stick with that and not try to flipflop back and forth.

The board zipped through many required items to make things legal for the next fiscal year. Tackett was named the official purchasing agent, the authorized representative for all federal programs including e-rate and the authorized representative for the Child Nutrition Program.

Lori Adair was named board of education minutes clerk, encumbrance clerk and alternative purchasing agent.

Gail Nickelson will serve as deputy minutes clerk and activity fund account custodian.

The board voted to approve an in-

vestment resolution with the Woods County treasurer concerning surplus funds. Tackett reported the district had $889,000 in carry over funds, slightly less than last year.

The student handbook was approved with only two changes: the dates referenced were updated and the new school lunch prices were included. The K-6 price is $1.10, the 7-12 lunch price is $1.25, the employee lunch price is $2.25, a guest adult is $3.20 and a guest child is $1.45. The price for all meals is up ten cents from a year ago.

The “Safe School” committee was named. Members are Rodeana Bixler,

Teresa Poe, Travis Darr, Kelly Meriweather, Stephanie Nutter, Hannah Darr, Michael Meriweather and Mindy Zook.

Board chairman Clint Olson was designated as the OSSBA legislative liaison and the OSSBA voting delegate.

The board approved numerous continuing items, such as worker’s compensation insurance, legal consultant and various association memberships.

Tackett reported that all dirt work on the football field is done and grass is growing. Coach Kysar has refurbished the football helmets and practice will start soon.

Wichita State University students earn honors, degrees Wichita State University (WSU) has announced the names of local students who were on the WSU dean’s honor roll or have completed their degrees for spring 2013.

Robert V. Thomas of Alva, and Courtney L. Hauser, Mary A. Hicks, Jeffrey W. Lunsford and Colton C. Matthew of Medicine Lodge, Kan., have been named to the WSU dean’s honor roll for spring 2013.

Students who completed their degrees are Brett J. Swafford – Kiowa, Kan., Bachelor of Arts, Sociology; Jeffrey W. Lunsford – Medicine Lodge, Bachelor of Business Administration, Accounting, Magna Cum Laude.

By Alex Cole During a regular meeting on Monday, the Alfalfa County commissioners opened bids for the resurfacing of Greer Road. The first bid was submitted by Cummins Construction of Enid with a price of $1,082,822.50. The second bid opened was sent by Venture Corporation of Great Bend, Kan. Their bid was sent with two options. Option 1 totaled $1,013,328 and option 2 was $979,238.

The commissioners voted to accept the first option from Venture Corporation.

The board said both companies met specifications, but Venture Corporation sent a cheaper bid with an earlier completion date. Since Alfalfa County and Woods County are working together to resurface the road, Alfalfa County will only pay $759,996. Woods County will cover the cost of the last mile.

After opening bids, the commissioners approved minutes from the last meeting and M & O warrants for payment.

There were no blanket purchase orders submitted. The next item approved was a request for Amanda Weber to be a receiving officer for the sheriff’s office.

Approval was also given for the county clerk to go out on bids for a new building for the fairgrounds.

A pay increase was approved for all county employees during the meeting. It was put into effect at the beginning of the fiscal year. All regular employees received an increase of $200 a month, and officers received an extra $416 a month.

The board voted to transfer $27,600 See Alfalfa Page 24

Lynn Says

It’s time to change a couple of words in Share Hospital sales tax support

By Lynn L. Martin When I was about eight years old, my parents were struggling with making ends meet. So they adopted an envelope system where after they cashed dad’s paycheck each month, the proceeds were divided up and placed in envelopes according to an agreed-upon budget.

There was an envelope for $40 worth of groceries. Another envelope contained $20 for automobile expenses. There was an allocation for utility bills and church. As I recall there were about a dozen envelopes in that shoe box.

This budget system worked well.

However, every once in awhile, an emergency occurred, such as an automobile repair, where money had to be switched from one envelope to another.

So we might be short on a little food or clothing money that month, but the car was fixed.

Here’s where the illustration ends and where the voters need to implement an envelope switching scheme for Share Medical Center. Back when a $1.25 local sales tax was voted to help support Share Medical Center, a restriction in the wording limited use of that money to capital improvements, not operating expenses.

The major purpose of the sales tax was to ensure enough funds to make the monthly bond payments on the renovation of the hospital. Anything left over could be used for other capital improvements, such as laboratory analyzers, xray machines or surgical suite gear.

A a result, we have a terrifically

equipped hospital in a modern building.

Because of the oil boom, the sales tax collections have been almost twice the amount projected.

Surgical Stays Reduced Dramatically Because the nature of medical care has changed, the number of days needed as an inpatient in a hospital has fallen dramatically. I remember when one of my sisters had a gall-bladder procedure when we lived in Missouri. She was hospitalized for two weeks. Today, the same gall bladder removal is done endoscopically through a tiny hole in the mid-section and the patient can often go home the same day.

This dramatically reduces per-day income for all hospitals.

Also, the government has stepped in every year or so to reduce Medicare or other payments to medical providers because Medicare is going broke. I believe I heard Alva Hospital Authority board chairman Jason Gaisford say at the last meeting the medical center’s monthly payments by the government have been reduced $50,000 per month.

That’s $600,000 per year.

Businesses Dropping Health Insurance Another problem is many businesses have had to drop providing health insurance coverage because of sky-rocketing premiums. So with a growing uninsured population, collections have become a problem at the hospital. I believe the last financial statement showed $6 million in accounts receivable. If all of that could be collected, the hospital would be in terrific shape.

Hospital executives and hospital board members alike are frustrated because the specialty clinics and outpatient use of the hospital have grown to the highest levels ever. It’s just the inpatient part that is down. Because we write news stories telling about the falling inpatient monthly average, many people believe the hospital is about to die.

When Obamacare kicks in full-force, and with the state of Oklahoma opting out of participating in the state’s share of some government programs, the hospital needs the ability to pay some of their expenses from the capital improvement

sales tax.

This requires a very legally difficult election.

The lending companies were promised in the first sales tax election that they could expect to be paid from the sales tax we voted. So we can’t undo that sales tax until they are paid off in about a dozen years.

Yet, to allow the hospital board to move some money from one “envelope” to another, the restriction that specified that money could only be used for capital improvements needs to be removed.

Two Words Need to be Removed It needs to be re-voted. No change in the tax amount needs to be made. It won’t change the impact on our pocket books one bit if those two words are removed.

But look at the problems. If the second vote for the sales tax fails, then what?

Over the years, I’ve asked several lawyers and they sort of roll their eyes.

I did ask school auditor Buddy Carroll when he was in town if such a change could be made. He believed he knew of one election where this sort of thing had been accomplished. He noted that Woodward recently passed a bond issue where the interest rates were at unheardof lows.

So the implication was that the Alva community could save a lot of interest money if the original bonds could be revoted. Buddy gave his opinions off the top of his head and did not want to be relied upon without proper legal research.

With changes caused by Obamacare looming, we need to find a way to give our hospital more flexibility to use money we’ve already provided ... but as they need it.

And we need to do it now.

Share Trust did a great deed and recently loaned the hospital $1.5 million to handle the cash-flow problem. That will give us time to re-structure the restrictions.

It’s much like when a couple decides to start a family and one is going to quit work. They restructure the finances well in advance of the delivery so no bad things happen.

Jet woman Home in Hardtner Rodeo couple enjoys new home, competition displays anger at Jet town meeting

By Marione Martin Jet City Hall has been full of controversy for some time. Apparently, some of those problems erupted at a meeting on June 3. According to court papers, Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Deputy Blake Trekell was sent to check on a reported fight in progress at Jet City Hall about 6:45 p.m. He arrived at 6:57 p.m. to see a gathering of about ten people in front of the building.

As Trekell walked across the street, he was met by David Sands, 50. Sands said he and Donna Keller, 48, had been arguing throughout the town council meeting that night in regard to her position. Sands said after the meeting, Keller punched him in the face and threatened to kill him. Sands’ brother had videoed part of the altercation on his cell phone from across the street.

On the video, Sands could been seen speaking to Keller, and Keller suddenly became angry pushing Sands away into a nearby car. As Keller pushed Sands she could be heard hollering, “I will f—g kill your a--.”

Sands wrote in a statement that See Anger Page 20

For Brandon and Lacey Volker, their marriage is strengthened through rodeo.

It’s with rodeo that they spend time together each weekend, traveling across Kansas, Brandon competing as a steer wrestler and Lacey as a barrel racer and breakaway roper.

And this month they’ll have a chance to compete in their hometown rodeo.

When the Barber County Rodeo takes place July 26-27 in Hardtner, Kan.,the Volkers will be on the contestant list.

The couple came to Hardtner on unlikely trails. Lacey grew up in Wisconsin and Brandon in southeast Nebraska.

They met each other at Iowa Central Community College in Ft. Dodge, and then Brandon transferred to Northwestern Oklahoma State in Alva. When the Ft. Dodge college threatened to shut down the rodeo program, Lacey followed him.

Brandon graduated from Alva in 2009 with an agricultural business degree, and Lacey graduated this spring with a bachelor of science in nursing. Brandon’s first job was with Barber County, which required him to live in the county, so they moved to Hardtner.

The recent oil boom has caused the population of Hardtner to fluctuate, but when they moved to town four years ago, people took notice. “They actually say, we were the first people to move into Hardtner in the last twenty years,” Brandon joked. But he and Lacey like where they live. “We’re not strangers anymore,” Lacey said. And they enjoy the town. “Everybody helps out a lot.

During the March snowstorm (when the area received 24 inches in two days), people were bringing tractors into town and plowing roads to get around.”

Now Brandon works for Bouziden Farms of Alva, and instead of moving to Alva they’ve stayed in Hardtner. “We

Brandon and Lacey Volker will compete at the Barber County Rodeo July 26-27. The couple met in college, got their degrees from Northwestern Oklahoma State, and live in Hardtner. have a good landlord, and housing in Alva is hard to come by.”

Each found success in high school and college rodeo and now competes in the Kansas Pro Rodeo and Central Plains Rodeo associations. They won’t have far to travel to the Barber County Rodeo, and they’re excited for it. Brandon is coming off a shoulder surgery, and was back to competition in June. This will be the third time Brandon has competed in Hardtner.

The Barber County Rodeo begins at 8 p.m. July 26-27. Tickets are available at the gate.

South Barber FFA chapter attends State Conference for Chapter Leaders Singing in front of a crowd can be nerve racking. Leading a group of peers can be as well. For five individuals of the South Barber FFA chapter, leading may be the easier of the two. Members of the South Barber FFA chapter joined over 280 Kansas FFA members at the 2013 State Conference for Chapter Leaders (SCCL), held July 1 to July 3 at Rock Springs Ranch south of Junction City, Kan. They were on a quest to further develop their ability to lead their local FFA chapter. Upon the members’ arrival, the songs were picked out and the dance moves rehearsed as the six state FFA officers related the musical “Pitch Perfect” to serving and developing as a leader.

Members who attended the conference were Elizabeth Miller, president; Clay Holcomb, vice president; Trenton Jahay, secretary; Logan Hitchcock, treasurer; and Travis Hoch, reporter. The advisor for the South Barber FFA chapter in attendance was Amanda Worthington SCCL gives chapter FFA leaders the chance to explore new tempos for their upcoming year of service. Key points

the members learned and experienced during the conference included vision, expectations, purpose, growth, being a role model, challenging the status quo and creating a shared vision for their local chapter. Through workshops facilitated by both the state FFA officers and a select group of agricultural education instructors, the students experienced the importance of these points first hand.

One of the FFA’s primary focuses has always been instilling premier leadership in its leaders. As a result, and due to personal growth and team building conferences, such as SCCL, FFA members across the state have been noticed.

One group that has seen leadership qualities in FFA members is Cargill, an international provider of food, agricultural and risk management products and services, and Animal Health International, a global distributer of animal health products. On July 3, Cargill representatives Spencer Headstrom and Scott Kocher visited the conference and provided perspective about the parallels that Cargill and the FFA have in regards to leadership in agriculture. Car-

gill’s and Animal Health International’s strong backgrounds in leadership made them the perfect partners for the event.

Kansas FFA President Lindy Bilberry said, “I saw 49 amazing teams of chapter officers come together and grow as individual leaders and as a team this week. The knowledge and skills that they gained at this conference will assist them in helping their chapters grow and succeed over the next year.”

SCCL is presented by the Kansas FFA State Officer Team and the Kansas FFA Association, and is sponsored in part by Cargill and Animal Health International.

The Kansas FFA Association is part of the National FFA Organization and has 8,300 student members preparing for careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture in 162 local chapters across the state. The FFA strives to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.

Anger

Keller was the only one acting aggressively and others could be seen on the video trying to get her away into a nearby car. At one point in the video, after Keller was told the incident was being recorded, she stepped out into the roadway, US 64, and began jumping up and down swaying her arms and chanting, “I hate you, I hate you, I really, really hate you.”

Keller wrote in a statement that Sands got in her face and that she

felt threatened so she punched him in “self=defense,” however, she offered no reason for telling Sands that she would kill him.

On June 6, Sands filed a protective order against Keller citing the incident that occurred on June 3 at the Jet town meeting.

On July 8 in Alfalfa County District Court, Donna S. Keller was charged with assault and battery, a misdemeanor.

Gun involved in domestic dispute

By Marione Martin A Helena man is facing both felony and misdemeanor charges following a domestic dispute reported to the Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Office. According to documents on file, on July 9 about 11 a.m. Deputy David Gebers was sent to investigate a domestic incident involving a firearm that had occurred the previous day. Gebers contacted the victim, Shawna Gregg, by cell phone to let her know he was on the way. She was very upset and crying. He asked if she were okay and in a safe place. She said her husband was at work and would not be home.

At the residence Gebers spoke to Shawna who appeared upset, scared and was crying. She took him in the residence and pointed to an object in a black plastic bag and said, “That’s the gun.” Gebers asked her to explain what happened. She spoke very fast and was trembling was she spoke.

Shawna said that on July 8 about 7 p.m. she found out her husband, Kerry, was talking to another female. She said she went to the computer desk and Kerry tried to turn the computer off. She

pushed his hand away, and he said that was assault and he could do whatever he wanted now. She said she tried to leave, and he wouldn’t let her.

Shawna said Kerry grabbed her and threw her on the couch. She got up and ran into the bedroom. Kerry said you’re going for the gun. She said Kerry grabbed her by the hair and pulled her out of the way and grabbed the gun.

Shawna said she tried to get away because he was threatening her with the gun, but she couldn’t. Kerry had the keys to the car and her cell phone. She said she tried walking out into the field, and she heard several gun shots go off behind her. She said she didn’t know what he was shooting at, but Kerry told her he was shooting at the ground to scare her. She said Kerry put the gun to his head and said if she didn’t come back he would shoot himself.

Shawna said she went back inside and Kerry put her in a headlock. She said she threw her elbow back and hit him in the face. She said she should not have done that because when she fights back, things only get worse. She said Kerry grabbed her by the hair and

body slammed her onto the bed. She said he placed her in a choke hold until she was unable to breathe. During this Kerry stated, “If you want to fight I will show you a fight.” Shawna said Kerry told her he only does this because he loves her.

Shawna said this was not the first time. She said the first time was in December, and he was attending anger management for it on his own. She said when he had her pinned down on the bed, he was slamming her head into the mattress. She said she finally gave up and they both calmed down.

After a little while, she tried to sneak out of the house. She said she got in the car and Kerry came out from behind the garage pointing a handgun at the driver’s side saying if she tried to leave he would shoot out the tires. She said he then told her if she didn’t get out of the car, he would shoot her. She went back inside the house.

Gebers asked why she didn’t call the sheriff’s office then. She said she was scared and waited until her husband went to work. Shawna said she had bruising on or around her shoulder and neck and on her rib cage. Gebers could see bruising on Shawna.

Kerry O’Dell Gregg, 40, has been charged with felony assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and a misdemeanor of domestic abuse – assault and battery.

Shawna Kae Gregg has also filed a protective order against Kerry O’Dell Gregg.

Traffic stop nets drug charge

By Marione Martin A Tuttle man is facing a misdemeanor drug charge and two traffic charges after a traffic stop in Alfalfa County July 4. Kameron C. Brooks, 20, has been charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance, a misdemeanor, as well as traffic charges of transporting an open container of beer and speeding.

According to documents on file, Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Deputy David Gebers was traveling eastbound on SH-11 near County Road 670. He had the speed radar on and saw headlights approaching in the westbound lane.

The radar indicated a speed of 78 mph in a 65 mph zone. Gebers activated his emergency lights and turned around behind the vehicle, a gray Chevrolet Impala with temporary tags. The driver, later identified as Kameron Brooks, pulled over on the side of the road.

Gebers approached and asked Brooks for his license and proof of insurance. While waiting for the driver to get the items, Gebers noticed an odor of alcoholic beverage coming from inside the vehicle. He asked Brooks if he had been drinking. Brooks said no.

Gebers shined his light through the back window and saw several white cups with green gel in the floorboard of the back passenger side seat. He told Brooks to turn off the vehicle and remain in the car.

After running Brooks’ information, Gebers asked Brooks to step out of the vehicle, telling him he could smell an odor of alcohol and asking if he would be willing to perform the field sobriety test. Brooks agreed and passed all sobriety tests.

Gebers asked Brooks to explain the cups with green gel. He said they were Jello shots. Knowing they are made with malt alcohol, he asked if there was anything more in the vehicle. Brooks said no.

Gebers opened the back passenger side door and pulled out 11 white cups with Jello. He smelled one and it had the odor of a malt alcoholic beverage.

He opened a blue plastic bag in the back seat, finding 19 boxes of sparklers and two rolls of electrical tape. He then opened the driver’s side door and searched the area where Brooks had been seated. In the middle console was a purple Crown Royal bag containing a glass jar with a green leafy substance that Gebers recognized as marijuana.

Gebers handcuffed Brooks and read him his Miranda rights. He then wrote him three citations and gave him a court date. The cuffs were then removed and he was allowed to leave.

Obits

Marshall Funeral Home of Alva from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, July 19.

AnnaBelle Shafer, daughter of the late Charles and Mary Elizabeth (Settle) Ewing, was born Dec. 12, 1907, at Camden Point, Mo., and passed away July 10, 2013, at Alva at the age of 105 years, 6 months and 28 days.

After AnnaBelle attended a rural school in Lipscomb County, Texas, and graduated from Shattuck High School, she attended Draughn’s Business School in Oklahoma City. During this time she met Carl Anton Shafer and they were married on July 22, 1927, at Guthrie.

She worked at Rosenfield Jewelry in Oklahoma City for several years.

In 1935, they moved to Alva where she worked at John Tyree’s Grocery Store and Treece’s Hardware Store. In 1941, AnnaBelle and Carl started Sha-

fer’s Radio and Television, which they operated together for 40 years. In 1971, they incorporated and gave the stock to employees who had been with them a long time.

AnnaBelle was very civic minded, as evidenced by the many awards she has received, including the Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the Alva Area Chamber of Commerce and Woman of the Year presented by the American Association of University Women. Her dedication to the community has earned her several nicknames, including Alva’s Resident Mover and Shaker and the Queen of Alva.

She was an active member of the Alva First Presbyterian Church where she served as Elder and on many committees. She also belonged to Business and Professional Women, Chapter C

PEO, Order of Eastern Star, Sigma Phi Gamma, and the Alva Area Chamber of Commerce where she served as president. She served on the Northwestern Oklahoma State University (NWOSU) advisory committee for several years, the Bill Johnson Correctional Center Advisory Committee, the board of the Alva Senior Citizen’s Center, and as a founding board member of Northwest Family Services.

One of her favorite quotes was, “We still have 24 hours to do with as we please; it’s up to us to use that time wisely.”

Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Carl; one brother, Evertt Ewing; and a grandson, Dickie Dean Shafer.

AnnaBelle is survived by two sons, Carl Ewing Shafer and wife Peggy of College Station, Texas, and David Alan Shafer and wife Karen of Edmond; four grandchildren, Scott Shafer and wife Debra of College Station; Todd Shafer and wife Jenny of Pearsall, Texas; Dirk Shafer of Los Angeles, Calif.; and Deidra Shafer Kistler and husband Brandon of Norman; four great grandchildren; other relatives and many friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be made through the funeral home to the NWOSU Foundation for the Shafer Family Scholarship Fund.

Jan Hill trades in multi-tasking for biking and grandkids’ activities

By Yvonne Miller This reporter saw Jan Hill at WalMart last week. She was proudly wearing a shirt that said “zero-tasking” – the absolute opposite from the multi-tasking she’s done the last two decades as the Burlington Public School secretary.

A 1970 graduate of Burlington High School (BHS), Jan said with a laugh, “When I graduated, it wasn’t in my plans at all to be the secretary here for almost 20 years.” But in 1994 Jan replaced her sister-in-law Liz Schwerdtfeger, who was a longtime secretary before she and her husband Daryl moved for his teaching career.

Jan definitely multi-tasked as secretary to the superintendent, principal, board and basically to all. She handled appropriated funds, accounts payable, payroll, the lunch fund and was insurance coordinator.

“I handed out band aides and Tylenol to kids and took their temperatures. I always took the flu shot. I remember one time a student didn’t feel well and wanted to stay at school – begged me not to call their parents but I did anyway. Turns out he had pneumonia.”

With so much happening in the office, how did Jan handle it all? “You learn to prioritize,” she said. “The phone rings off the hook. You get interrupted all the time. My desk is like a computer with lots of windows open at once.” She liked doing so many different things dai-

ly because “My job was never boring.”

Jan listed a favorite part of her job as “getting to know students, watching them do good things and be successful in life. This is Burlington – that happens often!”

Jan and her husband Rodger have

been married 43 years. Their three children are all BHS grads. Their daughter Vicki and her husband Jason Trousdale reside in Colorado Springs with their daughter Riley, who will be a high

After sitting at the secretary’s desk at Burlington school nearly 20 years, Jan Hill is ready to spend more time seeing America with her husband Rodger on their Harley.

Loren Tackett new superintendent at Waynoka

By Lynn L. Martin Waynoka’s new school superintendent, Loren Tackett, has 25 years in edu-

cation. This is his third superintendent job. The first came at Granite, where he was promoted to superintendent after

Loren Tackett, Waynoka school superintendent

serving as principal for five years. Then four years later he moved to Olive (located between Stillwater and Tulsa) and served a six-year superintendent stint there.

He and his wife Deana were attracted to Waynoka because their two sons reside in the area. Tyson Tackett is a teacher and coach at Waynoka. Colby works for Chesapeake and provides the added attraction of a four-year-old grandson. Loren Takett commented, “I had a good job at Olive, but with the family, this is where I need to be.”

Deanna, his wife of thirty years, will be teaching fourth grade at Mooreland this year.

Another appeal of Waynoka was its excellent facilities and a Grade of “A” on the State’s School Report card. Tackett said, “That takes a good staff and good students.”

“Also, the money situation is good because of the oil and gas industry, and the ad valorem valuation continues to grow.”

Tackett said, “I wasn’t hired to come in and fix something. This is a good school system. If, after a while, I spot something that needs attention, I’ll be glad to offer an opinion if it’s something I can help.”

When asked about his opinion of the end-of-school testing problems most districts faced, Tackett said, “There’s a chance they could invalidate those tests.

Some think they should get away from testing altogether or have the state of Oklahoma write the tests. But that would take three years. It’s a mess and there are no answers right now.”

Hill

school senior, and Rhys, who will be a junior. The Hills’ daughter Vanessa lives in Tulsa with her children Liddy, a seventh grader, and Mace, a third grader.

The Hills’ son Robert and his wife Natalie live in Burlington with their four children Lauren, sixth grader; Graham, third grader; Tyler, kindergartener; and Carleigh, three years old.

Jan said she’s enjoyed having grandkids in school. “It’s pretty cute – they walk into the lunchroom and say `Hi Granny.’ All their friends say it too. You know it’s time to quit when all the little kids call you Granny!”

Recalling when her kids were students, Jan said, “The reason I applied for the secretary position was because my girls told me everything. Robert didn’t.”

Laughing she said, “When he moved out and I was cleaning his room I found a note that I was to make two pies for an FFA event. They probably wondered why I didn’t bring pies.”

Jan Remembers Burlington Administrators Glen Elliott is the only superintendent Jan has worked for in her time at Burlington.

“He’s very good to work for,” Jan said. “He’s one reason why I’ve stayed so long.”

When asked about Jan, Elliott said, “She did a great job. She always knew what was going on and pretty much helped run the school. Jan left a big hole to fill.”

In her time at Burlington Jan worked

with principals Terry Carris, Joe Feely, Darrel Humphries and most recently Shane Feely. She remembers Shane was in her daughter Vanessa’s class of 1993.

Fun Memories and Plans for Retirement Being a part of Burlington Elks country, Jan said, “It was always exciting during basketball and going to the state tournament. Our teams have gone several times since I’ve been here.”

When asked to share one of her funniest memories, Jan said, “Judy Elliott and I were watching (the science room) iguana one summer and it got out. After looking all over we saw it sitting on the telescope. Judy jumped up on the chairs that were stacked on tables.”

Jan said it is times like those, “working with my fellow employees and students I’ll miss the most.”

However, she won’t miss being tied down and not being able to attend her out-of-town grandchildren’s activities.

The Hills will most likely get on their Harley and bike to Colorado to see some of those softball and baseball games.

They love to ride their motorcycle. This summer they rode their Harley to the Grand Canyon.

Proclaiming she is “not a morning person,” Jan looks forward to not having to get up so early every day. She also plans to spend more time on her hobbies of cooking, cake decorating and reading – that is, when she and Rodger aren’t riding to grandchildren’s activities.

Chip rock hauler injured on Sun City Road

By Yvonne Miller Barber County, Kan., Sheriff Justin Rugg said his office received a call of a semi rollover Monday at 7:45 a.m.

The one-vehicle accident occurred west of Medicine Lodge on Sun City Road (a paved county road) four miles north of Highway 160.

Rugg said Randel Neely, 56, of Mayfield, Kan., was driving southbound in a 2013 Kenworth semi owned

by DHI of Anthony, Kan. The truck was hauling chip rock.

“It looks like the truck dropped off the shoulder (of the highway) and Neely tried to bring it back on the road.

The truck went into a slide and landed in the west ditch on its side,” the sheriff said.

Deputy McCullough assisted Rugg in the investigation. Rugg said Medicine Lodge EMS, ambulance and Rural Fire Rescue were called to the scene as were Sun City firefighters.

The sheriff said Neely was injured with apparent head injuries. He was taken by ambulance to the Medicine Lodge hospital. Then he was airlifted to a Wichita hospital.

The sheriff said it was unclear whether Neely was wearing a seatbelt as several people arrived on the scene prior to investigators. He had no further update on Neely’s condition.

Kiowa council talks budget and increase in Barber County valuation

Special election for proposed sales tax increase in Kiowa September 10

By Yvonne Miller Monday night Kiowa’s City Council held a special meeting to further discuss the city’s budget now that they’ve received estimated assessed valuation figures from the Barber County Clerk’s office.

Barber County Clerk Debbie Wesley provided the figures, which show an increase in valuation for 2013 over 2012. The valuation figure last year was 135,095,536. For 2013 that figure increased to 167,678,588.

Total evaluation is comprised of real estate, personal property, oil and gas and state assessed utilities. This year oil and gas assessed valuation is 114,795,739. Wesley suggests anyone interested reduce the oil and gas estimate by 20 percent due to ongoing hearings that have not yet been resolved.

Wesley also said the Neighborhood Revitalization figures are last year’s estimate as the new ones have not yet been entered by the Appraiser’s Office.

That’s because there’s been a change in the appraiser’s office. New appraiser Karen Spencer just started July 1, Wesley said, and there was a lot left undone in that office.

At the Kiowa council meeting, administrator Nathan Law told the council by the figures he has the county’s estimated valuation increase is about $324,000. Kiowa’s part is roughly $15,000, Law said.

As the council discussed at its regular July meeting, the city’s 2014 budget was going to be short despite budgetary cuts, Law explained.

Sales Tax Increase vs. Property Tax Increase The council approved calling a special election for a quarter-cent tax increase. They said the money will go mainly for needed street improvements.

The special election will be Sept. 10. The city’s public budget hearing is generally in August. However, because of the special election, that public hearing will be Sept. 30.

That would increase Kiowa’s sales tax to 7.9 percent from 7.15 percent.

Law estimates the increased sales tax will generate about $62,000 in revenue for the city.

Council members seemed to agree a sales tax would be fairer to capture that needed $62,000 for the budget. That’s instead of raising taxes on property owners only.

Administrator Law provided an example. He used an average valuation of a Barber County home at $51,047.

Last year that homeowner paid $809.33 in property tax. If property taxes were raised to make up the $62,000 needed for Kiowa’s budget, that same homeowner would pay roughly $75 more in property tax per year.

Law said Kiowa property owners currently pay 42.2 mills. If property tax were increased, millage would increase to about 55.2 mills.

In contrast, Law said a person spending $600 on goods in Kiowa per month pays $42.90 in sales tax at the current rate of 7.15 percent. If that sales tax percentage increases to 7.9, a person pays $47.40, an increase of about $5 per month.

Council members favor an increased sales tax because everyone purchasing goods in Kiowa would contribute, not just residents. This still leaves Kiowa’s sales tax lower than most surrounding towns.

Several councilmembers said they’ve received mostly positive input from Kiowa people about passing a sales tax increase. They mentioned some negative feedback from just a few business owners.

Law showed a Power Point presentation of pie charts and other information regarding the city’s 2014 revenue and expenditures. All were with the proposed sales tax increase factored into them.

For 2014 expenditures, the pie chart shows the electric fund is 53 percent of the pie at $1,440,918; the general fund is next largest at 23 percent or $614,627; followed by many smaller funds.

As for 2014 revenue, the biggest piece of the pie chart is 36 percent of current ad valorem tax at $202,917; with 21 percent county sales tax at $120,000; 11 percent is city sales tax at $62,000, followed by numerous other smaller resources.

The other item brought up at this special meeting was the fact that the city pool’s vacuum does not have enough suction and is not cleaning correctly.

They are going to try a new battery for the unit and have also considered shopping for a new vacuum.

Mayor Farney was absent for this meeting. All other councilmembers attended including Bill Watson, R.L. Simpson, Russel Molz, Tom Wells and Mark Lambert. City clerk Marlo Rugg was also present.

Man overheard robbery plan in Tulsa murder case

By Justin Juozapavicius TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A family friend of two brothers charged in the January shooting deaths of four women at a run-down Tulsa apartment complex testified Tuesday that he overheard one of the brothers talking about plans to pull off a robbery on the morning of the killings.

Deandre Jones, 24, testified that he overheard James Poore say, “I’m ready to hit this lick,” during a private conversation in an apartment bedroom that also involved Jones’ sister and the other accused brother, Cedric Poore. Jones said he understood the term “pull a lick” to mean committing a robbery.

Prosecutors allege the Poore brothers robbed 23-year-old twins Rebeika Powell and Kayetie Melchor, 33-yearold Misty Nunley and 55-year-old Julie Jackson on Jan. 7, then shot them to death because the pair feared they might be identified.

James and Cedric Poore have both pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder

in the killings and are being represented by different attorneys.

Tuesday marked the second day of the preliminary hearing, where a Tulsa special judge is deciding whether there is enough evidence against the brothers to proceed to a trial.

Due to delays because of dozens of back-and-forth objections by the attorneys involved and the court’s early adjournment Tuesday afternoon, only Jones testified.

The preliminary hearing will resume Sept. 9, the court ruled late Tuesday.

Attorneys for the Poore brothers tried to portray Jones as an unreliable witness at best who admitted to frequently smoking marijuana in the two months before the killings and was plagued with numerous vision problems from birth, such as cataracts, which called into question how he recalled the events on the day of the killings.

“Can you tell what color tie I’m wearing?” asked John Echols, defense attorney for Cedric Poore, on cross-examination.

“No,” Jones replied.

“Can you tell what type of chair I’m sitting in?” Echols asked.

“An office chair?” Jones responded.

Echols, who was sitting in a wheelchair about 20 feet from the witness box, also asked whether Jones had changed his account of events to protect his sister and others who are alleged to have infor-

mation about the killings. Jones denied that.

In the afternoon session, with Jones still on the stand, Echols accused the witness of tailoring his testimony to suit prosecutors, saying Jones seemed not to recall basic events of the day of the murders when quizzed by defense attorneys.

“Apparently, your memory is better when prosecutors ask the questions then when the defense asks the questions,” Echols charged.

Prosecutors objected immediately, saying Echols was being argumentative with the witness, who admitted in testimony that he had a learning disability.

In testimony Monday, the 19-yearold niece of James Poore testified that he confided to her that he’d committed the crime and toild her that he had to go home to take a shower after the shootings because he had blood on him.

Last week, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals denied a bid by defense attorneys seeking the recusal of the special judge overseeing the early stages of the case.

The attorneys had argued that the judge, Stephen Clark, ordered a witness to meet with district attorneys or face the risk of prosecution, making the witness believe she must “play ball” with the prosecutors.

The court rejected that claim, paving the way for the preliminary hearing to begin.

Newsgram: an advertising choice that works Listen to Seneca West who tells about results.

Named Outstanding Site Manager of the Year for Western Property Management.

I started my job as site manager of the Chaparral Village Apartments in Cherokee, OK a year and seven months ago. At that time, ten of the twenty-four units had tenants.

For the first year, there was very little advertising for the property and most of the empty units remained empty. A year into my site managing, this property starting running a regular weekly ad in the Newsgram and I noticed a difference in the amount of activity in my office.

Our occupancy is up to twenty-one filled units and there are several people on a waiting list. I believe the Newsgram was a great help in filling our empty units because it covers such a wide area.
