Some concerned patrons comment and ask questions of KDH board at July meeting

By Yvonne Miller Approximately 35 visitors attended the regular monthly meeting of the Kiowa District Hospital the evening of July 26. The lobby of the clinic was packed with the visitors, board members and KDH personnel.

This article will cover the public discussion part of the meeting. The remainder of the KDH board meeting will run in a separate story.

In the absence of board president Brenna May, who was on vacation, vice president Jeff Miller opened the meeting and read a statement prepared

by May. She thanked everyone for their interest in the hospital during this time of change in health care nationwide. May said, “With each year comes more difficulties; we face the inevitable financial issues, new and more strenuous regulations, and a dwindling pool of specialized employees.” The president asked that the tone of the meeting be positive with people showing respect to one another.

Except for May, all board members were present, including: Miller, Pat Myers, Jim Parker and Chantae Simpson. KDH CEO Margaret Grismer also sat at the board table.

Long Term Care and a Kiowa resident, had requested a place on the agenda to address the board. Prior to the meeting, Reed had written several posts on Facebook about her concerns regarding KDH, which caused mixed comments throughout the community.

Reed began by referring to Lance Freeman, owner of Prescriptions Plus in Kiowa, who partners with KDH in the 340B Drug Discount program that is to benefit Critical Access Hospitals in rural towns and pharmacies in those small communities. At a previous board meeting covered by the Newsgram, Freeman addressed the board about his upset of working with Grismer on the 340B program.

Reed said she “trusts Lance” and her experience of knowing him finds Freeman to be “an honest and trustworthy person.” She said how Freeman has dug into his own pockets many times to help those less fortunate.

Having worked in healthcare 16 years, Reed said she knows “consistency is key to any great health care setting.” She complained that since moving to Kiowa five years ago she’s had to change healthcare providers numerous times – from Patty McNamar, ARNP, to Dr. Paul Wilhelm and Dr. Christie Leal, DO. Of Leal, who is leaving KDH, Reed said, “I loved her bedside manner, her treatments for me were spot on and not to mention she truly saved my life.”

Reed also questioned why former Manor DON Tammy Stroud left after a good survey by the state and the overall turnover of DONs at the manor. Freeman said he “heard it up town” that Stroud was fired which he described as “unprofessional.” John Hagood, who owned the pharmacy in Kiowa before Freeman, said, “You don’t keep firing your DONs and expect someone else to come in.”

Manor Administrator Kim Balding clarified the survey to which Reed referred. was actually “a revisit, not a full survey.” The revisit was for a few nursing deficiencies and the full nursing team was responsible for clearing those deficiencies.

Stroud spoke up later in the conversation confirming she put in her resignation because she would be fired “for going against a policy.”

Reed commended CEO Grismer on her previous administrator healthcare positions in the military and prison systems. “But Kiowa District Hospital and Manor are not part of the armed forces, and it is not a prison,” Reed said to Grismer.

In response, 33-year RN Judy Catlin said she’s worked at the manor about one year. She can no longer work on the floor but helps in other ways and has some experience in administration. She said in defense of Grismer, “Health care is so highly regulated now. As nurses, we are so highly regulated, we need a good leader in place. We’ve got to keep our hospital and manor.”

Clarification of Discussion on Personnel Issues Kiowa woman Anita Patterson told the board, “The public is frustrated because you can’t tell us why” about personnel issues. Simpson explained, “They are personal issues.”

Former longtime hospital board member and before that city councilman, Robert Armbruster clarified that personnel issues cannot be discussed in open session and board members can’t discuss what happened in executive session.

Armbruster described the comments made up town as “speculation and then it snowballs.”

Balding said, “The posts on Facebook are border line slander.”

Grismer said that over the last 20 months she has been CEO, only two people have resigned and one person has been terminated out of a staff of 76 people. She said, “There is a clash between reality and perception.” She said, “It’s not appropriate to talk about personnel” because of the missing tidbit of information that cannot be talked about due to personnel issues, contract negotiations, or legal proceedings needing to remain private.

“When something is illegal, immoral or unethical, administration has to take action,” Grismer said.

Lynn Says

You’ve seen this before about strokes, but read again

By Lynn L. Martin (I received this in a newsletter and think it will be useful information for everyone.)

Stroke: Remember the First Three Letters: S T R Stroke Identification During a BBQ, Jane stumbled and took a little fall. She assured everyone that she was fine and declined the offer of paramedics.

She said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she

appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.

Jane’s husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital, and at 6 p.m. she passed away. She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ, and that is why she fell.

Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don’t die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within three hours, he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed and then getting the patient medically cared for within three

hours, which is tough.

Recognizing a Stroke A bystander can identify a stroke by asking the person to do four simple things: S – Ask the individual to smile.

T – Ask the person to talk and speak a simple, coherent sentence.

R – Ask him or her to raise both arms.

New one – Have the person stick out his tongue. If the tongue is crooked and cannot be held straight, that is a sign of a stroke.

If he or she has trouble with any one of these tasks, call 911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

Find the nearest hospital with a stroke center. Share Medical Center in Alva was certified several years ago.

Moores to celebrate 50th anniversary Robert and Lavay Moore will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on Aug. 7.

Robert Moore and Lavay Overton were married on a hot Oklahoma summer afternoon Aug. 7, 1966, at First Christian Church of Nash. The couple met at Nash High School and began dating Lavay’s senior year. After marriage, they made their

home north of Nash in the rural community of Hawley. Robert began work as a selfemployed automotive mechanic at his shop, Hawley Garage. Lavay completed her teaching degree at Northwestern Oklahoma State University in 1969 and began her 32year elementary education career, retiring from Timberlake school district in 2001.

Robert and Lavay have both been involved in various community and church activities throughout their marriage, and made Bethel Hawley Baptist Church their church home.

They have two children. Branden, of Nash, is a truck driver and has three children: Colten, Jayla and Ty. Kara and her husband, Andrew Tindal, live in Derby, Kansas, where she is a long term care pharmacist.

Robert and Lavay will celebrate their golden anniversary on Sunday, Aug. 7, at Bethel Hawley Baptist Church. The day’s festivities will include a light lunch at 12:30 p.m., vow renewal ceremony at 1:30 p.m. and a reception from 2-4 p.m..

Alva Board of Education hires music teacher

By Lynn L. Martin A senior vocal music major from Northwestern Oklahoma State University was hired as a half-time non-certified employee to help fill the vocal music vacancy at Alva Middle School (AMS) and Alva High School (AHS) for the first semester.

The second semester, Bryce Lewis will move to full time. She will be aided by certified teacher Carla Mitchel. Also, after September, it is likely that Jewel Conner will be hired as accompanist.

Two resignations were received: Kim Bowling as a paraprofessional and Kanon Collins, assistant softball coach.

The board declared numerous items to be surplus. Some of the items on the list included Scott Foresman Reading Street

for kindergarten. The group included many practice books. Lincoln Elementary declared about 250 Reader Street Series for fourth and fifth grades. The books are stored at the bus barn. Eleven desktop PCs were listed as surplus, along with keyboards, printers and monitors.

Several fundraisers were approved.

The groups include softball concession stands, T-shirt sales. AHS football asked for a fundraiser that is projected to raise $7,000-$7,900 to cover Summer Pride expenses.

AHS principal Les Potter applied for approval of sort of a blank fundraiser form to handle any donations to the high school. The Goldbug band will sell Goldbug Spirit Apparel hoping to make a prof-

it of $4,000 on $10,000 worth of sales, which will be used for classroom materials and contest entry fees.

The AMS FCCLA hopes to raise about $300 to help pay for state convention expenses by selling items for a Bug Party from Initials, Inc. Alva Football will once again sell Gold Cards that will raise $7,000 on $10,000 in sales. The sales will occur one week during August. The proceeds will be used for equipment replacement. The board also approved a football program fundraiser. The application said, “The profits are small,but the purpose is designed to create a keepsake for the kids.�

The AHS FFA received approval for shooting events at the gun range for two days in August. They hope to raise $2,000 to help fund the shooting sports team.

Before the school board meeting started, board members toured the recently acquired and newly painted used activity bus. The various extracurricular activity groups are making it to sufficient state contests and one over-the-road transit bus was not enough.

A Racial Harassment Discrimination Policy was approved as part of a group of policies. The policy applies to both employees and students. The three steps of discipline include: first, an administrative reprimand will be placed in the personnel file; the second level is an official board of education reprimand along with com-

Woman with warrant facing new drug charges

By Marione Martin When a ranger at Great Salt Plains State Park (GSP) learned a camper was wanted on a Kay County warrant, he and others went to the campsite where they arrested the occupant. The woman is now facing further charges in Alfalfa County.

According to court records, on July 26 Ranger Ryan Webster, along with Rangers Kyle Hair and Nathan Rackley, approached the campsite about 10:50 a.m. Webster explained the reason for the visit to Melissa Aguilar who was camping there alone. Neither the RV nor the truck was registered to her. She told the rangers both belonged to a boyfriend who was in jail.

Asked if there was anything illegal in the truck, Aguilar said no and offered to let them search it. Concerning the RV, she said there were probably some marijuana roaches inside. Asked about drug pipes, she said there were lots. She gave consent to search the RV also.

In the truck, the rangers found a purse with two digital scales, one containing a white residue, a small container with numerous pills, a small baggie with a green leafy substance

with a distinct odor of marijuana, and several torch style lighters. They also found a bat partially covered in electric tape. Concealed behind the front seat was a Black Ops .177 caliber steel ball revolver CO2 style handgun. It was determined that nine of the pills were zolpidem tartrate 10 mg, a schedule four controlled dangerous substance (CDS). One pink pill was identified as hydrocodone, a schedule two CDS. There were three dogs inside the RV trailer, which were turned over to an Enid man at Aguilar’s request. In a search of the trailer, rangers found numerous pills, several syringes both loaded and unloaded, a baggie with white residue,

some pipes with burnt residue, and a small baggie of a green leafy substance.

Two pills were identified as tramadol 50 mg, a schedule four CDS. Aguilar was arrested and taken to the Alfalfa County Jail.

Melissa Irene Aguilar, 44, of Enid has been charged with two felonies: possession of CDS within 1,000 feet of a park or school and possession of a firearm during commission of a felony. She is also charged with four misdemeanors: two counts of unlawful possession of paraphernalia and two counts of unlawful possession of controlled drug without a valid prescription.

Recruitment and retention of physicians in rural America is a national problem The Kiowa District Healthcare Board would like to express our sincere appreciation to the community members that came to the July 26 board meeting.

We understand the uncertainty that plagues our community and we are aware of the growing concerns that are driven by the local and national healthcare changes. After taking time to reflect and discuss the topics that were presented, we as a board want to assure the community that we are very much aware of the concerns and are continuing to move in a direction that supports the best interest of the community and the facilities.

The recruitment and retention of physicians in rural America is a national problem. The state association, KHA – Kansas Hospital Association – continues to direct their efforts toward assisting the local hospitals in solving the physician shortage issues. We as a group are diligently working with our administrator to resolve this and to bring personnel and services that would be beneficial in our local facilities. Finding that person that

would be “a fit” in our small community, and who wants to live in rural Kansas, is somewhat of a challenge.

There were questions involving personnel that were brought to the meeting and we would very much like to explain our decisions, but that would not be appropriate in a public setting. This is a breach of ethic, moral and legal conduct.

We would like to assure our community that the board is aware of what transpires between the facility and its staff and have agreed with administration and support the decisions that have been made.

Our focus as a board is to be in touch with the administration in all areas of concern and support our CEO, Margaret Grismer, in all that she does.

Within six months of her arrival she was confronted with two critical surveys that could have closed the facility doors. She tirelessly instrumented a plan of attack to correct all deficiencies and create a better system in-house. This could only be accomplished through the hard work of her management team. The financial position the hospital was at when she

arrived was very serious, however, even though we are in a precarious situation today due to the decrease in tax revenues, she has brought us to a better current financial position. She has revitalized the manor and brought new ideas and concepts to services that have been offered at the hospital. She keeps the board informed on all changes to healthcare regulations. Margaret is performing the duties that she was hired to do. We appreciate her involvement with department personnel on a daily basis.

We hope the community can feel secure in the fact that this board is doing everything they can to bring to this community the medical and support staff that would enhance the quality of service that our facilities provide.

Respectfully, the KDH Board of Directors Brenna May, president Jeff Miller Pat Myers Jim Parker Chantae Simpson

The board approved a couple of agreements with Northwest Tech. One was to once again accept their math and English credits; and the other was to augment the technical education programs.

The school district handled their need for an Oklahoma-certified psychologist by signing a tele-medicine type contract with Voco Vision. The maximum cost of the service at $90.62 per hour is estimated at around $5,000. However, the superintendent thinks it will be more likely to be $2,500.

Alva’s Sharon Miller tells of her surprising bout with double-pneumonia. She is thrilled that the tele-medicine service at Share Medical Center saved her from an expensive air ambulance trip the night she came in.

Taking preventative pneumonia shots is important. I took a shot a couple years ago, and I was shocked that’s what I had.

“Monday, a week ago, I was soooo weak. I didn’t know what was wrong.

I could hardly hold anything in my hands. I sort of fell going from the shower to the bedroom and we had real trouble getting me up and out to the ER. I knew I had been feeling a lack of energy, but I didn’t realize I was THAT sick.

“They kept me overnight and said, ‘We want to see what’s going on,’ but I kept getting worse. Then they put Doctor Rader on my case and he saved my life! It turns out I had double-pneumonia. I don’t know how in the world it happened. I’ve never had it before and I don’t want it again.

My condition scared my husband, Roger, terribly. I didn’t realize until after I got better how scared he was. I cannot say enough about Share Medical Center. The care out here has been amazing. Everybody has been super.

They’ve gone out of their way, and yet don’t get in my way. This hospital is amazing. I’m thrilled we have it and we must do every 580-327-2800 thing we can to retain it.

“This tele-medicine thing is unbelievably good. Dr. Rader talked to me directly and was very patient and advised me on what I could do to help. He did mention that had Share Medical Center not had the telemedicine equipment, they would have had to fly me out that night.”

Sharon Miller retired from BancCentral after a 43 year career.

She and Roger have two children and 8 grandchildren.

KDH Manor census rising, tax revenue and reimbursements keep finances in black Board approves proposed budget option with 10 mill increase, budget hearing Aug. 15; Pharmacy owner and board agree to continue partnership in 340B Drug Discount program

By Yvonne Miller The Kiowa District Hospital Board had a full plate at their July 26 meeting. The public comment part of the meeting is in a separate story. This article covers the regular business conducted at the meeting.

All board members were present except Brenna May, who was on vacation. Members attending included Jeff Miller, Pat Myers, Jim Parker and Chantae Simpson. Hospital CEO Margaret Grismer also sat at the board table.

KDH CFO Janell Goodno gave financial and statistical information for both the hospital and manor for June.

The hospital had 22 admissions and 69 total days of acute and swingbed care. There were 631 total outpatient visits. Of those, physical therapy visits totaled 159 and the lab was 252.

Clinic visits totaled 330.

For June, the hospital had total operating revenue of $395,544. When discussing revenue, Goodno noted that KDH’s gross 340B revenue for June was $21,388. She said KDH’s 2016 340B monthly average revenue for January through June has been $8,000 per month. Goodno listed KDH’s expenses with 340B as the cost of drugs, Macro Helix fees and management fees.

The hospital’s total operating expenses were $435,759. This made a loss from operations of $39,827.

However, with the addition of $99,710 (mainly tax money), the hospital showed a profit of $59,883.

Year-to-date at the end of June, the hospital was in the black $242,975.

Manor Administrator Kim Balding had positive news about the number of

residents there. The last day of June they had 22 residents. The day of the meeting the manor had 23 residents and a new admission scheduled for the next day, Balding said.

June finances for the manor showed total operating revenue of $121,603. Total operating expenses were $142,604 (including $11,973 of agency nursing). With the addition of $6,358 (mainly tax revenue), the manor showed a loss of $14,642.

This makes the year-to-date loss for the manor at the end of June $136,370, which is better than the same time in 2015 when the manor’s loss was $163,148.

Goodno presented figures from the consolidated balance sheet of the hospital and manor that showed current year earnings of $106,604.

Goodno said that the week prior to the meeting KDH received the Medicare Cost Report receivable funds they anticipated, which totaled $407,000.

Total net patient accounts receivable are up to $803,989.

Budget Hearing Aug. 15, 8 a.m.

In open session, Goodno presented some budget proposals, focusing on options for mill levy increases due to less valuation from decreased oil and gas revenue.

She provided mill levy tax rates going back to 2004 when the mills were 36.50. The mills dropped slightly each year to a low of 13.17 in 2012 during the oil boom. In 2014 and 2015 the mill levy tax rate was 14.30. In 2016 the mill levy rose to 26.25.

The board tabled further budget discussion until executive session.

Upon return to open session, the board approved the option to raise the mills

by 10 to 36.248. In 2017 one mill would be worth $27,499, according to Goodno.

This option will result in KDH receiving approximately $230,000 less than last year. Without the mill increase KDH’s revenue would be down more than $500,000.

Goodno said the increased millage should generate $996,801. The CFO said the proposed 2017 expenditures total $8,644,003.

Anyone wishing to learn more about the proposed budget or comment on it are invited to the Budget Hearing Monday, Aug. 15 at 8 a.m., in the Physician’s Lounge.

Other KDH Business Board secretary Parker reported another announcement following the near three hour executive session. He said Lance Freeman, owner of Kiowa Prescriptions Plus, and KDH have agreed to remain partners in the 340B program.

Regarding landscaping the hospital grounds, Goodno said the Friends of KDH and Manor Foundation has donated $15,000 for the project. KDH received another $3,000 in pledges from a community foundation that will also be used for the landscaping.

No operational money from KDH will be used for landscaping.

In the landscaping, a bench in memory of Dr. Chris will be included.

Grismer reported that a physician search is ongoing through the avenues they’ve been using. Specifically KDH seeks a physician and a mid-level practitioner. She said, “We’ll continue to explore a job share arrangement for physicians who want to do mission work in third-world countries.”

Reporting on the manor, Balding said KDH Mobile Meals continue to be successful and they want to expand to five days per week soon.

The manor received a $750 grant for the Music in Memory program.

Jet man charged with child endangerment

By Marione Martin A Jet man has been charged with child endangerment after being accused of driving under the influence with children in the vehicle.

According to court documents, on July 16 about 6:30 p.m. the Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a man accelerating his white and yellow Camaro at high rates of speed, spinning his tires, fishtailing and doing a donut. The reporting party said there was a car matching that description peeling out in the parking lot of the Oasis Bar. The reporting party said the man was driving drunk with children in the car. The mother of the children was reportedly at a friend’s house just down

the street from the bar attending a party for a friend’s grandson.

The children’s mother, Crystal Crecelius, said Austin Devore drove by at approximately 30 to 40 mph laying on the horn, then drove by again repeating the process. She said she knew he had been drinking and did not want her children in the car with him.

Dispatch contacted Ranger Kyle Webster and Alfalfa County Deputy Gary Mast about the calls received.

They started looking for the Camaro.

Crecelius reported that when Devore drove by in an erratic manner, she went to his house to get her children.

About 6:55 p.m. dispatch received a call of a domestic disturbance in Nescatunga. Ranger Webster arrived first followed by Deputy Mast. Webster reported he was talking with Crecelius when Devore left his home and walked to the edge of Highway 38 where he was trying to return Crecelius’s cellphone.

Webster said he told Devore he would come to his house to talk to him, and Devore told him not to. Devore started walking away. Because Webster knew

there were firearms in the residence, he told Devore to stop. Webster told him if he did not stop, he would be tazed so Devore stopped. Webster then detained him until Mast’s arrival. He walked Devore back to his residence because the two minor children had been left unattended. The children are ages 2 and 8 years.

Crecelius told Deputy Mast that Devore wrestled her to the ground outside and drug her across the yard.

She dropped her cellphone, and she said Devore grabbed it and threw it in the pool. She then went to the R-store and had someone call 911. Ranger Webster reported when he arrived she had visible marks on her body.

Austin Devore, 33, of Jet has been charged with felony child endangerment by driving under the influence. He was charged with two misdemeanors of public intoxication and domestic assault and battery in the presence of a minor.

Hospital Balding said the money will be used to buy iPods and headsets. The ombudsman was out last month and was very positive, she said.

Hospital DON Heidi Courson reported they are starting a patient/ family engagement committee to be made up of volunteers who will meet four times per year to discuss how to make the patient experience better.

Physician Assistant Melissa Stroh reported that everyone loves and is so appreciative of the new artwork displayed around the hospital and clinic. The gorgeous scenes of this area are taken by local photographers.

Medical staff appointments were approved for Valerie Creswell, MD, and and David Miller.

The next regular KDH board meeting is Thursday, Aug. 25, at 7 p.m.

Medicine Lodge Stockade Benefit Garage Sale and Auction at Nixon’s Aug. 13

By Yvonne Miller Homemade biscuits and sausage gravy, pulled pork BBQ sandwiches – yummmmmm!

Oh, did I forget to say there is a garage sale and auction of unique items?

You’ll find it all in Medicine Lodge, Saturday, Aug. 13. The Stockade Museum Benefit begins at 8 that morning. All the action takes place across the street at the Nixon Auction House. The Stockade Museum is located at 209 W. Fowler

along the east and west Highway 160 at the south end of Medicine Lodge.

There’s another great twist about as yummy as the homemade goodies you’ll find at the benefit. No price tags are attached to the garage sale items.

The theme of the day is, “Take What You Need, Leave Your Fair Share.”

“It’s a unique sale – items are not priced, you pay what you think is fair,” organizer Mariann Jarboe explained.

To donate items for the garage sale or auction, call the Stockade Museum at 620-886-3553 or Mariann Jarboe at 620-886-3234 (Some limits apply; no clothing, please) The auction will feature unique items, Jarboe said – such as antiques, books, kitchen and garden items, furniture, pictures, household items and other “surprise items.” You can preview it all Friday evening 5-7 p.m.

The concessions are provided by the ESA Sorority.

The funds raised will go to ongoing improvement projects to the inside and outside of the historical Stockade. Inside these walls comes to life historical figures like Carrie Nation and others. During the Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty, cowboys shoot it out there. The Stockade Museum preserves the rich history of the gyp hills and prairies.

Oklahoma joins hiring program for Army personnel, veterans

By Tim Talley Eds: Adds comments and quotes from governor, corrections director, Army officers, background and byline.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma Department of Corrections became the first state agency Tuesday to join a hiring program for U.S. Army active duty personnel and veterans.

But Corrections Director Joe Allbaugh said it's uncertain how effective the agency's low starting salaries will be in recruiting soldiers to help fill a shortage of correctional officers in state prisons.

"That's going to be a real challenge," Allbaugh told The Associated Press following a formal ceremony at the state Capitol to introduce the program known as the Partnership for Youth Access.

Allbaugh said correctional officers in the state start as cadets at $12.78 per hour — lower than other states in the region.

"It's pretty pitiful. It's a big issue," Allbaugh said. He said many other employers offer comparable wages for jobs that do not involve the risks that correctional workers face.

"During an eight-hour shift their life is not on the line," he said.

Allbaugh said increasing the salaries of Oklahoma's correctional and probation workers will be a top legislative priority for his agency in the 2017 Oklahoma Legislature that convenes in February.

The PaYS hiring program provides soldiers, recruits and members of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps a guaranteed interview for potential employment during their time in the Army and after discharging. Although 47 private-sector Oklahoma businesses are program partners, the Corrections Department is the first state agency to use it.

Allbaugh said soldiers are taught leadership and discipline during their service, qualities correctional officers need "to adapt to adverse situations at a moment's notice."

"We're underemployed in correctional officers. We're underemployed in probational officers. Getting more and more of these individuals into those classifications will be critical to ensure our state's safety," Allbaugh said.

A total of 29,000 inmates are currently incarcerated in state-operated and private prisons in Oklahoma, and another 31,000 people are on probation or parole, he said.

Gov. Mary Fallin said 30 percent of Oklahoma's correctional officer positions are vacant and that having an opportunity to employ military personnel will be a way of getting more correctional officers into state prisons.

"We want to make sure that our Department of Corrections employees are safe, that our public is safe," Fallin said.

"We also have an obligation to keep our inmates safe.

"We want to do everything we can to help our veterans be very successful," the governor said.

Lt. Col. Jim Hill, commander of the Army recruiting command in Oklahoma City, said the program will strengthen the Army's relationship with the state.

"Being part of the PaYS program will allow this agency to become stronger with the quality and the qualified individuals who come out of the U.S. Army," Hill said.

Fallin: No decision on special session for teacher salaries TIM TALLEY, Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Gov. Mary Fallin said Tuesday she believes a $140.8 million windfall in state revenue should be prioritized for teacher salaries and that she supports a special legislative session to address the needs of public education.

Fallin said she met with Republican legislative leaders Tuesday morning to discuss a possible special session to consider teacher salaries and other education needs but that no decision was made. She said she will continue to meet with lawmakers but that it may be several weeks before a decision is reached.

"The leadership at the Capitol thinks we should have the discussion," the governor said. "It would be wiser to prioritize it toward the most important needs of our state, and we're certainly concerned about education."

The Office of Management and En-

terprise Services revealed last week that mid-year budget cuts ordered for Oklahoma agencies amid a revenue downturn caused largely by declining oil and natural gas prices during the fiscal year that ended June 30 were deeper than required and that $140.8 million was available for reallocation.

Fallin said the funds could be returned to state agencies or used to help fund a teacher pay raise. Oklahoma teachers haven't had a pay raise since 2008 and their salaries are more than $10,000 behind the national average.

Fallin expressed support for a permanent $3,000 pay raise for public school teachers in her State of the State address that opened the 2016 regular legislative session on Feb. 1.

"We did talk during the legislative session about various ideas for teacher pay raises, but in the end because of all of the magnitude of the issues that we had to

address it didn't pass," Fallin said.

Meanwhile, a proposed state question voters will decide in November would provide a $5,000 annual teacher pay raise and other public education improvements with a 1 percent sales tax increase.

Fallin said appropriating the $140.8 million to teacher salaries "would be a certain pay raise versus a November election which may or may not pass." Every $1,000 increase in pay for public school teachers in Oklahoma costs the state about $60 million annually, Fallin said.

Fallin also said that although Democrats form the minority in the state House and Senate, it is important that they support the teacher pay raise proposal and make it a priority.

"As a group the Democrats have locked up on some of the issues the Republicans have put out there," the GOP governor said.

House Democratic Leader Scott Inman of Oklahoma City did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

But in a statement last week Inman suggested supporters of a special session are trying to undercut the state question just three months before voters head to the polls.a "If the Republicans truly cared about teachers, they would have used their legislative supermajorities to pass a teacher pay raise at any time during the past eight years — when teachers last had a pay raise," Inman said.

Tulsa employees making at least $100k grows by 25 percent TULSA, Okla. (AP) — The number of Tulsa employees making at least $100,000 annually has grown by 25 percent in the past three years, and those who made six-figure salaries represented about 2 percent of the city's 3,500 full-time workers.

The Tulsa World reports (http://bit.ly/2ajR97z ) that of 69 employees earning more than $100,000, 54 make more than the mayor, whose salary is set at $105,000.

The median salary among full-time city employees is about $53,000, — equal to the yearly base pay of a city firefighter with about six years' experience.

The city physician, Dr. Phillip R. Berry, was the highest-paid employee with a salary of $191,751.

The city has about 132 fewer full-time employees than it did in 2013.

French Muslims step out of invisibility after attacks By: Elaine Ganley PARIS (AP) — French Muslims have been officially invisible, expected to blend in with the rest of the citizenry in secular France. But now they are speaking out — and being called on to take a larger role in combatting the threat from Islamist extremists.

The killing of a priest last week at the altar of his Normandy church by two 19-year-old extremists has become a lightning rod for change.

In an unusual joint statement published Sunday, a group of more than 40 Muslim lawyers, doctors and other professionals said that French Muslims must move from the shadows to front and center, and take action because those representing Islam have lost touch with the young.

"We were silent because we learned that in France religion is a private affair," the signers wrote, referring to the secular values France prizes and the French model of integration by which citizens forego their cultures of origin for Frenchness. "Now we must speak because Islam has become a public affair and the current situation is intolerable."

The signers said Muslim leaders are unable to reach out, let alone represent, a younger generation of Muslims — some of them "the prey of jihadi Islam ideologues."

France's strict brand of secularism was behind two laws to ban Muslim apparel — headscarves in classrooms in 2004 and face-covering veils in streets, in 2010. It has also meant French authorities normally communicate only with Muslim leaders through the French Council for the Muslim Faith, or CFCM — an umbrella group the government helped set up in 2003 as conduit for dialogue with a religion that, unlike Catholicism, has no hierarchy.

But now, even the government is reaching beyond Muslim officialdom to implore citizens of the Islamic faith to join in the battle for hearts and minds against extremists.

"The most important challenge is not that of institutions. It is that of our citizens of the Muslim faith who in their families, their neighborhoods, must feel

concerned and take their responsibility in hand," Prime Minister Manuel Valls said in an interview Tuesday with the daily Liberation.

In an exceptional reach-out, he said that "Islam of France" must be rebuilt, expanding training for imams and reducing foreign financing of mosques.

"Muslims have an immense responsibility" helping the state "combat those who put into question our public freedoms," he said.

With an estimated 5 million Muslims in France — the largest Muslim population in western Europe — Islam is the country's second religion after Roman Catholicism. But previous attacks elicited little more than communiques from the main Muslim organizations deploring the horrors — and recrimination from some quarters because Muslims weren't strongly denouncing the acts of the terrorists.

Raphael Liogier, an expert on Islam at the prestigious Science Po university in Aix-en-Provence, says signs that Muslims are stepping into the fray may be the start of real change.

"They are under two injunctions: be quiet and at the same time take a position," Liogier said. "If they say nothing, one thinks they have accepted the attacks ... Today, they consider that this double injunction is no longer manageable."

The turning point appears to have come with the slaying of Rev. Jacques Hamel and the attack in the Riviera city of Nice, less than two weeks earlier, where 84 revelers were killed by a huge truck that mowed down crowds on Bastille Day on a famed beachside avenue closed for a fireworks display.

Both attacks were claimed by the Islamic State group — like the killing of a police couple in their home in June and two waves of attacks in Paris last year that killed 147. Yet, like in some other cases, the Tunisian attacker in Nice had not shown signs of being a practicing Muslim.

Mohammed Karabila, president of the Muslim cultural center in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, where the priest was killed, said the two attacks "made us understand."

A symbol of the state and a symbol of religion were hit, he said by telephone. "The message is clear. They (IS) want to fracture us, fracture French society."

Since its creation in 2003, the CFCM has been the main Muslim voice for the public, as well as the government, but it is an often fractious group of various Muslim currents in France that are influenced, and partly financed, by countries where each group has its roots.

Valls and Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve are making plans to revamp what authorities have tried for decades to build: an "Islam of France" specific to French Muslims. As part of the initiative, they want to revive a foundation that could provide private funds for mosques and make foreign funding visible. They also want a single cursus for the training of imams.

"Our country must show the entire world that Islam ... is compatible with democracy," Valls said in his Sunday commentary.

Liogier, meanwhile, predicts Muslims will increasingly speak out — but with potential risk to themselves since "they are the target par excellence" of the Islamic State group, which views Muslims integrated in the West as infidels.

After the attacks, the CFCM stepped forward to call on Muslim faithful to visit churches in a sign of solidarity with Christians. Many did and Catholics also joined Muslims at Friday prayer in a local mosque.

One Muslim leader, Abdelatif Hmitou, castigated the slain attackers during the Friday prayer.

"You are not a part of civilization," he said — bold words given the omnipresent worry among Muslims that Islam is being tainted by the actions of extremists.

Celebrating the funeral Mass on Tuesday for the slain priest, the Archbishop of Rouen, Dominique Lebrun, said that it had been "an error" to keep religion private. During the ceremony, he invited Muslims to return to churches on Aug. 15, the Catholic feast of the Assumption.

“Landline Phones Are Getting Closer to Extinction”

Time Magazine June 2014

3 years ago, only 41% of homes maintained a land line phone. The drop is even greater since then.

Some sources say it is 26% now.

Following the demise of land lines, is the logical demise of telephone directories. They used to list nearly everybody’s number.

Because of a huge investment in printing equipment and staff, Is this a photo of directory companies keep wasted advertising producing mainly useless phone dollars? directories: useless because cell phones are not listed and most people have discontinued their land line. In the newspaper business, we have found that many advertisers are now listing cell phones as business phones in their newspaper ads.

Below are photos of unpicked up phone books, sopping wet, that litter many streets in Alva. The delivery method was to drop unprotected (no plastic wrap) directories at the base of a mail box or near a door.

The newspaper industry has also suffered a change.

But by moving to 100% mail delivery, we reach more customers than ever before with content they are interested in.

The phone directory industry needs to figure out new content since most user numbers aren’t there. Most advertisers are going to be disappointed because if few people pick up the directory, their ad won’t be seen..
