Bridge named for Freedom couple

Photo by Alex Cole By Alex Cole Friends and relatives of Wesley and Maxine Nixon gathered at the United Methodist Church in Freedom on Sunday to celebrate the naming of a bridge after the couple. Located north of town on Highway 50, the bridge has been named The Wesley and Maxine Nixon Bridge in honor of the cherished Freedom residents. Oklahoma state Rep. Jeff Hickman made it his personal objective to dedicate the bridge to them, and he was responsible for writing the bill and getting it passed. He had many kind words to say about the Nixons during the ceremony. The Alva Review-Courier / Newsgram is published Wednesday by Martin Broadcasting Corp. 620 Choctaw St. Alva, Oklahoma 73717 Lynn L.

“This is a special day to honor two very special people, not only to the community of Freedom, but to all of this part of Oklahoma,” said Hickman. He claimed that many events taking place in the community would not exist without the Nixons. He also spoke of looking up to the couple as role models due to their years of leadership and investments in the community. Talking about the Nixons’ involvement with the Freedom State Bank, Hickman said, “There were probably some years where it would’ve been easier to sell or close it when times were tough, but the two people sitting at this table made the decision that it wasn’t going to happen. They knew that for communities to thrive, you need strong
institutions.” Wesley and Maxine Nixon were also very much involved in the church, school, FFA and 4-H projects. Using his cell phone, Hickman read aloud to the room the bill that he wrote. It stated the bridge’s name and that a permanent marker was to be installed at the location bearing the words “The Wesley and Maxine Nixon Bridge.” Scott Armstrong of the Department of Transportation inspected the bridge and was called on by Hickman to say a few words about it. Armstrong said he visited the site over the course of its construction, and during the inspection he could not find any flaws. “We have a lot of very good bridges,” said Armstrong. “With this one, there’s just absolutely nothing wrong with it. So, if you’re going to have your name on a bridge, it might as well be a good one.” Hickman added, “You can’t look at Wes and Maxine Nixon and find much wrong with them, and you’re not going to look at their bridge and find much wrong with it either!” Another speaker was former state Rep. Elmer Maddux. “I’ve been active here for 65 years,” he said, “and you can’t say ‘Freedom, Oklahoma’ without thinking of Wes Nixon.” Maddux said he also served on the soil conservation board with him for many years. “Not every community has the opportunity to have someone like Wes and Maxine,” he stated. Near the end of the ceremony, Hickman asked the Nixons to stand at the front of the room with the bridge sign, which was placed on a stand and draped with a white cloth. Counting down from three, Hickman pulled the cloth and the See Nixon Page 4

room clapped for the Nixons as they looked upon the sign with tears in their eyes and wide smiles. When asked to say a few words to end the celebration, Maxine Nixon said, “We couldn’t have done it without our children, our extended family, our friends and neighbors. We appreciate it. We’ve been blessed.”

By Lynn L. Martin The Freedom school board had to delay the start of their scheduled 7 p.m. meeting until 8:15 p.m. as they waited for enough members to show up to make a quorum. When the quorum was reached, the attending members consisted of Joe Jessup, Concha Herreram and Shane Morris. After routine action approving the consent agenda, Superintendent Danny McCuiston reported that a lot of maintenance was occurring with inside and outside painting, along with carpet cleaning. Other items to be handled includes gym painting and work on the kitchen floor. McCuiston warned that the district will really have to be careful with expenses. The fund balance for fiscal year (FY) 2014 is $668,105 compared to a fund balance of $722,897 for last year. Another problem is reduced gross production revenue. The projection for FY 20113 was $151,354.29 but actual collections turned out to be $102,734.26. He noted that the district has $32,000 in federal dollars waiting to be claimed. In other action, the board approved both the employee handbook and the student handbook. Most of the changes to the school policy book and to the subsidiary handbooks were to fine-tune wording and implement changes caused by laws passed by legislators. A secondary school calendar was approved. Classes will begin at 8:10
a.m. and run for fifty minutes. The lunch period is 25 minutes, running from 11:50 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Classes wind up at 3:35 p.m. Principal Brett Hill announced the district will have two foreign exchange students, one from Germany and the other Brazil. He also estimated that overall enrollment will hit 80 or possibly more, which is greater than in several years. Hill reported that new scoring tables and 30 colorful chairs are being purchased for the gymnasium. At the moment the basketball schedule consists of 15 games and two tournaments for a total of 17. He is still looking to book a couple of more games. The board approved contracts for the following certified teachers: Brett Hill, BJ Baker, Katy Ferguson, Renee Gaskill, Charles Hough, Erin Thrash, Bryant Weber, Howard Terry Aitkin, Donna Fearing, Kellie Badley, Sharon Harper, Katie Strehl, Jeanne Weber and Kent Bilyeu. Teacher Charlotte Selfridge was inadvertently left off of the list. The board approved the following extra duty appointments: Donna Fearing – special education director, BJ Baker – National Honor Society, Charles Hough – coach of basketball and track, Katie Strehl – academic teams, Bryant Weber – senior sponsor, BJ Baker – junior sponsor, and Brett Hill – athletic director. The support personnel contracts
were approved for Brenda Daughhtee, Patricia Dauphin, Tana Nixon, Dawn Wares, Dalene Dauphin, Norma Mullins and Jovita Rhoads. In other actions, the board permitted the administration to approve minor adjustments in the encumbrances up to $500 without board approval. Also, they authorized McCuiston to approve all fundraisers during the 2013-2014 school term. The board will still approve/ disapprove fund raising requests. An item added to “New Business” was a resolution to approve financing of a newly purchased pickup on a lease/ purchase deal with a Jenks firm at a rate between 3.5 and 4 percent.

Obamacare privacy issues greater than NSA spying By Lynn L. Martin One of the irritants of going to a doctor is the huge amount of paperwork they hand you asking for your medical history. If your primary care doctor sends you to see a specialist, then you get to do the paperwork dance all over again. I’ve been looking forward to electronic health records implementation because they are supposed to store that information in a central location. Allegedly, the second doctor will be able to pull up the information you filled out for the first doctor two days earlier, perhaps asking only if something has changed. My enthusiasm has been dampened by an article by James S. Robbins, who points outs that that your medical and financial information will not only be seen by your doctor, but potentially by thousands of other low-level bureaucrats or curious employees. I imagine most of you saw or heard the story about employees of a California hospital improperly looking at the records of movie stars just for the fun of
it. They did get fired. What follows is the reprinted column: Move Over NSA, Here Comes the Obamacare Big Brother Database By James S. Robbins Originally published in “Rare” July 20, 2013 Would you trust thousands of lowlevel federal bureaucrats and contractors with one-touch access to your private financial and medical information? Under Obamacare you won’t have any choice. As the Obamacare train-wreck begins to gather steam, there is increasing concern in Congress over something called the Federal Data Services Hub. The data hub is a comprehensive database of personal information being established by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to imple-
ment the federally facilitated health insurance exchanges. The purpose of the data hub, according to a June 2013 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report, is to provide “electronic, near real-time access to federal data” and “access to state and third-party data sources needed to verify consumer-eligibility information.” In these days of secret domestic surveillance by the intelligence community, rogue IRS officials and state tax agencies using private information for political purposes, and police electronically logging every license plate that passes by, the idea of the centralized data hub is making lawmakers and citizens nervous. They certainly should be; the potential for abuse is enormous. The massive, centralized database will include comprehensive personal information such as income and financial data, family size, citizenship and immigration status, incarceration status, social security numbers and private health information. It will compile dossiers based on information obtained from the IRS, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, the Veterans Administration, the Office of Personnel Management, the Social Security Administration, state Medicaid databases and, for some reason, the Peace Corps. The data hub will provide web-based, one-stop shopping for prying into people’s personal affairs. Not to fear, HHS says; the data hub will be completely secure. Really? Secure like all the information that has been made public in the Wikileaks era? These days no government agency can realistically claim that private information will be kept private, especially when it is being made so accessible. Putting everyone’s personal information in one place only simplifies the challenge for those looking to hack into the system. However, the hacker threat is the least of the data hub worries.

Kiowa resident John Miller began his rodeo career while in college and still competes today. He was instrumental in keeping the Barber County Rodeo going.
Cowboy influences rodeo John Miller of Kiowa, Kan., has been involved in rodeo for most of his life, competing since his college days. The Kansas cowboy grew up in Oklahoma, and while in college at Oklahoma State he got his first taste of rodeo. A friend entered him in the bareback riding event. Bareback riding wasn’t exactly what he wanted, so he
turned to bull riding. In 1966, his senior year of college, he won the bull riding event at the Oklahoma State rodeo, and he was on his way to a lifetime of horses, ropes and rodeo arenas. After graduating with a degree in secondary education, Miller moved to Florida where he taught school for three years. After the first year, he married his
college sweetheart, Bev, and together they were in Florida. In 1969, it was time to come back to Oklahoma to be closer to family. He took a teaching job at Lookeba, south of Hinton, where he taught vocational agriculture and advised the FFA chapter. All the while, Miller was competing in rodeo on the side. He gave up the bull riding (“the bulls all bucked me off,” he joked) and took up calf roping and steer wrestling. He competed at open rodeos, in the Pro Rodeo Cowboys Association and in the Kansas Pro Rodeo Association and Central Plains Rodeo Association events. Then one day his brother called. Would John like to move to Kiowa and work in his John Deere dealership? So he did. Miller sold machinery, or, as he wryly said, “I guess I really didn’t sell it. I let people buy it if they wanted to.” He continued to calf rope and steer wrestle, and at the age of fifty began steer roping in a senior association. He tripped steers till about nine years ago, when he decided to focus solely on calf roping. See Cowboy Page 18

will be used on a daily basis by so-called navigators, which according to the GAO are “community and consumer-focused nonprofit groups, to which exchanges award grants to provide fair and impartial public education” and “refer consumers as appropriate for further assistance.” Thousands of such people will have unfettered access to the data hub, but there are only sketchy guidelines on how they will be hired, trained and monitored. Given the slap-dash, incoherent way Obamacare is being implemented the prospect for quality control

is low. And the Obama administration’s track record of sweetheart deals, no-bid, sole-source contracting and other means of rewarding people with insider access means the data hub will be firmly in the hands of trusted White House loyalists. So if you think the IRS targeting Tea Party groups was bad, just wait for the Obamacare navigators to be unleashed. “Trust us,” the administration says, no one will abuse the data hub. Sure, because that has worked out so well in the past.

Now he competes in the Ultimate Calf Roping Association, roping about every other weekend at events in Oklahoma and Texas. Miller was chairman of the Barber County Rodeo from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s. The rodeo had gone from being open to professionally sanctioned, and even stopped for a year. Miller, along with Kenny Mangus, helped get it started back up as a pro rodeo. Now, Miller, who retired from the dealership ten years ago, ropes every day and trains calf horses. He has three horses right now. “I like to do it,” he
said, “and I have plenty of time.” He and Bev have two children, son Johnny of Chandler and daughter Janie of Kansas City, Kan., as well as two grandchildren. Miller and his wife have been married 46 years. Even though he will miss this year’s Barber County Rodeo to travel to Cheyenne and Deadwood, S.D., Miller’s influence is there. As part of the committee that helped put on the rodeo, and as a long-time contestant, the Barber County Rodeo is part of his life. This year’s Barber County Rodeo in Hardtner begins at 8 p.m. on July 26-27. Tickets are available at the gate.

Three charged with felony drug possession after traffic stop By Marione Martin Three people are facing felony drug charges following a traffic stop in Alfalfa County on July 15. According to documents on file, Alfalfa County Deputy Blake Trekell was sitting stationary in his vehicle about 9:15 p.m. about a quarter mile east of SH 8 on Grant Road. He saw a two-tone white and blue Chevy pickup occupied by one man and two women. The vehicle was pulling a bumper-pull trailer that had no lights. The pickup had a broken tail light and a broken front windshield directly in front of the driver’s field of view. Trekell activated his emergency lights and caught up to the vehicle. It pulled over in the Jiffy Trip parking lot in Cherokee at Grand and Ohio. Trekell made contact with the driver who was already holding a red Oklahoma ID card. The deputy asked Robert A. Patterson, 31, of Enid, for his driver’s license. He said he didn’t have one. He had just been released from prison and was trying to gather the money to get it. Trekell obtained driver’s licenses from the two female passengers. They were Lacee Jahnon Peace, 30 of Oklahoma City and Tasha Sue Moore, 37, of Cherokee. Trekell asked Patterson to return with him to his patrol vehicle. Patterson said that Moore was supposed to be driving but was scared of the muddy roads so he drove. As they walked, Trekell noticed that the pickup had a paper tag with no vehicle information on it, only a date of purchase. He noticed another Oklahoma-issued license plate under the paper tag. He obtained that number before returning to his vehicle
with Patterson. Trekell ran Patterson’s name and date of birth, learning that he possessed an Oklahoma driver’s license that had been revoked. He noted that Patterson was extremely nervous, moving his hands up and down. He could not sit still and was breathing hard. Trekell asked why he was so nervous, and Patterson said he just got out of a two-year prison term and if he violated his probation he was guaranteed six years’ hard time. He did not want to go back. Deputy Trekell ran the tag on the pickup that was under the paper tag. It returned to a man and woman from Oklahoma City and was not expired but displayed expired on the tag. Trekell asked Patterson why he had a paper tag on the pickup and he again threw his hands in the air and said, “Whoooo, I’m going back to prison now for sure, huh?” Trekell asked why, and he said it was because his tag was expired and he put the wrong tag on it. He said a friend gave him the paper tag in Oklahoma City. He requested that Trekell just let them walk away since he just gotten out of prison and didn’t want to go back. Trekell asked who he purchased the pickup from, and Patterson could not come up with a name, only stating “her brother.” After giving him a moment to think, Trekell asked him about the name on the vehicle registration, and Patterson said he didn’t think that was it. Trekell placed Patterson in handcuffs due to his nervous behavior and his statements about not wanting to go back to prison. Trekell looked up Patterson’s name on ODCR (On Demand Court Records)
and found he had been arrested for drug related offenses as well as prior knowledge of possible drug use with the two females in the pickup. He asked Patterson if there was anything illegal in the pickup based on his seemingly excessive level of nerves. The deputy asked if there were any weapons or drugs, and Patterson said there were not. Trekell asked if he minded if he took a quick look inside the pickup for any illegal material, and Patterson responded that there was nothing illegal in the vehicle. Trekell asked again, and Patterson said to go ahead. Trekell went to the vehicle and asked both women to exit and stand in front of the pickup. They both did so hesitantly. He told them the driver gave consent to search the vehicle and asked them if there was anything illegal in the vehicle. Moore said not that she knew of, and Peace asked, “You’re not going to search our purses are you?” Trekell searched the vehicle and looked inside a black purse. Inside the purse he found a pill bottle with Tasha Moore’s name that contained a prescription pain medication. Also in the purse was a small white zipper-style hygiene kit containing a small, capsuleshaped container with a small crystal substance inside that he believed to be methamphetamine. Trekell asked Moore which purse was hers and she said the black one he was going through. He showed her the white pouch and asked her what it was. She said she didn’t know and had never seen it before. See Possession Page 27

Possession
Trekell continued to search and looked inside a brown purse with a wallet containing Patterson’s ID card as well as a driver’s license belonging to Peace and several cards with Peace and Patterson’s name on them. Inside the wallet was a small yellow baggie wrapped in a cigarette package wrapper with a small amount of a white crystal substance he believed to be methamphetamine. Also in the purse was a small yellow Rain-X box. Rain-X is a line of automotive care products. Inside was a bottle of Rain-X with a syringe next to it. Trekell asked about the box, and Peace said the box was new and she hadn’t opened it yet. Trekell asked why Rain-X would package a syringe in its box, but she had no response. Trekell moved on to a backpack in the pickup cab. Inside were several toolkits and some female clothing. There was also a black zip-up case with the Lincoln automotive decal on the front often used to store owner’s manuals. Inside was a syringe similar to the other two found within the vehicle, loaded with 35 units of what appeared to be blood. Also inside the pouch was a plastic baggie
with another small plastic baggie inside with a white crystal-like substance he believed to be methamphetamine. Also inside the pouch was a smaller nylon pouch containing a straw folded in half with a white substance inside and two small plastic baggies with a white crystal-like substance in them he believed to be methamphetamine. Trekell asked Peace who owned the backpack, and she said it was hers and Patterson’s. While being detained, Peace said that all the stuff in the backpack was hers and she would take it all. Trekell returned to his vehicle and Patterson seemed to know that he had found illegal substances, saying “Can’t I just take it all and the girls walk?” Trekell told Patterson where the substances were found, but he claimed to know nothing about them. All three were arrested. Patterson has been charged with unlawful possession of CDS (controlled dangerous substance), a felony, and driving while license is revoked, a misdemeanor. He also received traffic citations for failure to
carry insurance verification and failure to pay all taxes due the state. Both Moore and Peace have been charged with unlawful possession of CDS, a felony.
Alfalfa County to begin new road project By Alex Cole During a regular meeting held by the Alfalfa County commissioners on Monday, approval was given for the total reconstruction of County Road EW-25. The blacktop road sits five miles east of Dacoma and stretches two miles north and six miles east. County Commissioner Chad Roach said they plan to lay new blacktop on the road and replace its three bridges. The total estimated cost for this project is $5,459,586, and construction will start in a minimum of seven months. The commissioners approved minutes from the last meeting, M & O warrants, road crossing permits and monthly officer reports. There were no blanket purchase orders submitted to the board. Afterward, a resolution for the disposal of a laser printer was approved. The board voted to transfer the printer from the treasurer’s office to the county clerk’s office. Another item on the agenda was a resolution to designate an official county newspaper. The board members nominated and approved the Cherokee Messenger and Repubican. The board approved another resolution dividing a payment of $72,430 for the ACCO Self Insurance Group between the T-4 Commissioner’s Insurance and R-2A County General Operating Expenses funds. Another payment of $48,742 was divided between the T-4 Commissioner’s Insurance and the R-2A County General operating expenses for the workers compensation policy. The board also made two cash transfers during the meeting. A total of $973.16 was moved from Cash BR See County Page 32

Inmate faces added charge By Marione Martin A jailer became suspicious when several inmates in the Alfalfa County Jail were awake most of the night. According to documents in the case, Alfalfa County Deputy Mike Dods went in to the sheriff’s office about 4 p.m. on July 14 to write some reports. While there, he was told by a dispatcher/jailer that three or four inmates were up almost all night the preceding night. They were described as talking, making loud noises and laughing most of the night until about 4 a.m. Deputy Dods made contact with several of the inmates and had them take urine tests. Three of the inmates tested positive for methamphetamine. The three were Charles Schneeberger, Charlie Cox and Sean Dischiavi. None of the three would say who brought the meth into the jail. However, Schneeberger is the only one who gets out of jail to work in the morning and returns in the evening. Cox and Dischiavi were both locked in the jail all day and were never outside. Charles Ola Schneeberger, 35, of Cherokee, has been charged with a felony of bringing contraband drugs into a jail.
