“There’s nothing like the wake-up call of your doctor saying, ‘You’ve got 29 months to live!’” - Pat Headlee At the end of September, 2015, Pat Headlee ate with her husband and some friends at their favorite Mexican restaurant in Muskogee. When they returned to the house, Pat got terribly sick. At first, she thought it was food poisoning. But none of the others had any problem and they had all eaten the same thing. After returning to Alva, Monday morning she asked her husband to take her to Share Medical Center. “Carrie weighed me, took my blood pressure and urged me to sit down saying she thought I needed some fluids. They soon took me to the ER where Dr. Colvert ran several tests. He said, ‘We’re calling a helicopter to take you to Mercy Hospital in OKC.’” Pat said, “No, I don’t want to fly. My husband can drive me.” The doctor said, “No. Your calcium level is at 17 and you should be dead. You need to be there NOW!.” Pat said, “It’s supposed to be below 10 or so. “As they carried me out to the helicopter, Alva’s ER doctor said, “I think you have multiple myeloma.” That’s cancer of the plasma cells in the bone marrow.” Sure enough, the same diagnosis was made by the OKC doctors, who said, “If we can’t get it in remission, you have about 29 months to live.” Pat says, “My new birth date is April 7th. That’s the day they injected my harvested stem cells back into my body. You are utterly exhausted after the stem cell transplant: zero per cent energy. Afterward, I told my husband, ‘I will never do that again.’ I’ve since reconsidered that vow. They still have another dose of my cells frozen at Children’s hospital in OKC.
Pat Headlee’s bone cancer is in remission. Mercy Hospital in OKC has treated her bone cancer for almost a year and is quite happy with having Share Medical Center performing her twice weekly blood tests and occasional x-rays from October 13th “But now, I say, ‘Yes, I will do it again because I now know I to February 4th. She said, “If Share can get over it.’ That change of thinking took about two and Medical Center wasn’t here we’d be driving one half months. But now, I’m at 90% normal energy.” 350 mile round trips to OKC or even 150 mile round trips if we chose Enid. Like Pat says her 29 month life expectancy warning is on hold so many rural hospitals, SMC is losing money long as she is in remission. Pat has been exercising at the every month. We must do whatever we Wellness Center in Alva to rebuild muscle. can to maintain it.” “I had to go back to the OKC hospital in November because the calcium level climbed back to 14. They also fixed a compression fracture in my lower back. I now find I am a bit more forgetful. The doctors in OKC called it ‘chemo-brain.’ “So now I have an excuse for forgetting stuff. I cannot adequately praise the kindness and, competency of the staff at Share Medical Center. They do the blood draws without a hitch; are compassionate, and even tell me I look good when I look my worst,” she said, laughing.

Lynn Says
9 healthy snacks that prevent overeating By Lynn L. Martin One of the most difficult challenges I face is the temptation to snack between meals. Coupled with that is a life-long drive of waiting anxiously for the hands on the clock to reach noon or 6 p.m. so I can have the fun of eating. So not only am I anxious for food at regular eating times, but the snack need is there also. Psychologically, I think it is a need to keep the mouth busy rather than any hunger pangs. I’ve done better in the last couple of years of reducing the octane of what I snack on. At meal times, I still go for my favorite foods, but reducing the quantity to about half has worked well in knocking off pounds. In reading this list of “healthy” snacks, only three or four are appealing to me. But that is better than none. Here is an article by Danny Kim for Time magazine that touches these very issues: * If you can’t wait for your next meal, these foods are adept at muffling your hunger. Some experts say the whole concept of “healthy snacking” is an oxymoron. The human body, they argue, wasn’t
built to accommodate the average American’s habit of cramming in snacks between meals. “Even three meals [a day] might be too much,” says Dr. Valter Longo, director of the University of Southern California’s Longevity Institute. Others agree. Bouts of fasting, or giving your gut extended breaks from food digestion, may fire up all sorts of disease-limiting, life-extending cellular processes, says Luigi Fontana, a professor of nutritional science at Washington University in St. Louis and Italy’s University of Brescia. So if you think stocking healthy foods means you can raid the fridge or cabinet any time and engage in some guilt-free noshing, Longo and Fontana would argue otherwise. But if you just can’t make it until your next meal, there are some science-backed appetite appeasers that, even in small doses, should tide you over. Sauerkraut A pile of research suggests fermented foods support your gut’s microbiotic health. In particular, a type of bacteria called Lactobacillus – often used to make the fermented cabbage dish sauerkraut – can help quiet your appetite and may also improve your body’s ability to regulate blood sugar. Just be sure the sauerkraut you pick up isn’t loaded with sugar. Pistachios In both healthy adults and those suffering from metabolic diseases like diabetes, eating pistachios helps knock down hunger while supporting healthy post-meal insulin responses. One 2015 study found people who added pistachios to their diets for 10 weeks had healthier levels of blood fatty acids. The authors of that 2015 article credit pistachio’s monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids for the nut’s health perks. Chickpeas Crack open the hummus and grab some falafel! Adding chickpeas and other legumes to a meal or snack can help you feel up to 31 percent fuller, research shows. (How do they measure this stuff?) Gut health and bowel function also improve among regular chickpea eaters, found a recent study from Australia. Spinach It isn’t the sexiest snack food. But
spinach and other leafy greens are packed with plant membranes called “thylakoids” that increase fullness and cut your cravings for sweet treats, according to a 2015 study from Swedish researchers. Just don’t boil your spinach; you’ll knock out three-quarters of its nutrient content. Beans Loaded with digestion-slowing fiber and satisfying protein, beans are one of the first foods dieticians mention when asked about ultra-filling foods that can help curb your hunger. Even among those not trying to lose weight, adding beans to their diets resulted in lost pounds, found a 2016 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Ginger There’s far, far too much talk these days about foods that can “rev your metabolism.” But there’s some strong data to suggest certain compounds in ginger – much like the capsaicin found in spicy peppers – can increase your body’s metabolic rate while simultaneously reducing your appetite. Try grating some fresh ginger onto your spinach or beans. Eggs A hardboiled egg might be the most filling snack on the planet. Eggs are a complete source of protein amino acids. They also quiet down the gut hormone ghrelin, which triggers hunger and cravings. Yes, it’s okay to eat egg yolks again, experts now say. Popcorn Believe it or not, popcorn is an antioxidant rich, stomach-filling whole grain. Even though a small bowl of it is mostly air, the sight of it helps fool your brain into believing you’ve had a big snack, which helps quell your appetite. Just prepare your own air-popped kernels on the stove; the pre-bagged microwave varieties tend to come coated with all kinds of unhealthy chemicals, experts warn. Coffee It’s probably not the first thing you’d reach for when hunger comes calling. But drinking brewed coffee can lower your gut’s levels of the appetite-fueling hormone ghrelin, according to a recent study from German and Austrian researchers. More research has linked coffee to lower body weights and longer lives.

Freedom school board adds two members By Lynn L. Martin The Freedom Board of Education began their meeting Monday, Aug. 15, by adding two men to board membership. They are Robert Babcock for seat 4 and Donald Simmons for seat 5. The next order of business was to accept the resignation of board member Lynn Bolar. Interestingly, Bolar voted “no” on moving the board appointments to the top of the agenda and also voted “no” on the appointment of each new member. He did vote “yes” on his own resignation. The fifth board member, Concha Herrera, was absent. An agenda item to move each monthly
board meeting to the third Monday of the month was approved. The following dates were announced: the September board meeting will be on the 18th, the October meeting on the 17th, the November meeting on the 14th (a second Monday, which could be an error since the agenda entry called for third Mondays the rest of the year) and the December board meeting will be on the 19th. Superintendent Frieda Burgess asked the board to change from school days to school hours. Instead of 180 days, the district will operate on 1080 hours. She explained this helps make up time in the event school is cancelled for bad weather.
The school board voted to approve a contract with Secondary Career and Technology Education Program for the school year 2016-17. Burgess explained this was a housekeeping item needed to retain the agriculture program. No action was taken on an agenda item calling to hire a library media specialist. The new principal, Michael Long, who was officially hired that evening, actually started work last Friday and met with teachers earlier in the day on Monday. He told the board of education that he has added art classes and hopefully either instrumental or vocal music to the curriculum. Also he would like to add more individual types of athletics (golf, tennis, etc.). Long also pledged to meet with with all juniors and seniors and their parents on a Saturday to make sure their course selections are sufficient to meet graduation requirements. There were some problems on that subject last year, he said. Four certified teachers were employed during Monday night’s session: Chad Wolford, Darcy Collins, Brandon Cook and Michael Long. Support people hired included Brian Davey, maintenance, and Robin Landis, cook and maintenance. On a later agenda item, the board voted to place all certified contracts on a temporary basis. An agenda item naming extra duty contracts was passed over with no action. A contract was approved for Brooke Meyer of Northwest Technology Center as

Lindsey Headlee was approved for the statutory waiver and deregulation for the library K-12th. Keith Gunter, Christa Hughes, Shirlena Hackett and Dean of Students Bryce Schanbacher were all approved for employment by the board during the meet-
ing’s executive session. The board discussed and approved the various policies provided by the OSSBA: Evaluation of Administrative Personnel, Graduation Requirements, Student Retention, Teacher Evaluation, Safety Drills, and Professional Growth and Development. The Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education Contract for Secondary Career and Technology Education Programs for the school year of 20162017 was approved, as well as the Activity Fund Handbook. A contract with EB Consulting to provide Medicaid billing, medicine dispensing, training to staff and legal disposal of outdated medication for the 2016-2017 school year was discussed and approved by the board. A bid of $36,883.30 from Greener Roofing and Restoration for the repair of the high school/middle school roof was approved, pending a warranty meeting this week with the previous roofing installers. The board approved free breakfast for certified and non-certified staff and the school district. The principals report had good things to say about the school’s sports programs and enrollment numbers. It was reported that there are 95 sixth – eighth graders, and 109 ninth – sixth graders, which is about average. There are however 37 sixth graders enrolled, which is a large sixth grade class. In Sports, there are 29 play-

ers in high school football, 13 high school softball players, and seven high school cross-country runners. The three-year-old program – fifth grade has 223 children enrolled this year, with five children on the waiting list for the three-year-old program. It was reported during the meeting that the three-yearold program has made a positive impact on the behavior, listening skills and overall readiness of the children when they continue on in their schooling. In the Superintendent’s report, Donna Anderson, superintendent, had good things to say about the new school year, stating that “Everything is going well, and it’s a great day to be a chief.” She complimented all of the staff on a job well done so far this year.

Freedom an adjunct instructor in anatomy and physiology. During the superintendent’s report, Burgess invited a visiting financial consultant to talk about roof financing. If the entire roof is replaced, the last estimate was $600,000, which could be handled with $135,000 payments over five years or possibly $75,000 payments over ten years. No agenda item for any decision was present. At a previous meeting, Burgess said a roofing decision might possibly be made at the August meeting. She deferred on that, saying that several board members will be attending an OSSBA conference and several roof vendors will be there and she believed it would be smart to allow board members to visit with them first. The board voted to allow concurrent enrollment for Freedom students at nearby colleges such as NWOSU, SWOSU and OSU. Also they voted to permit English and math credits obtained at Northwest Technology Center to count toward Freedom High School graduation. Long will investigate adding middle school students to the cooperative football programs that Freedom High School has with Mooreland Public Schools.

SUMMER SAFETY Look Out...The Kids Are Out!
By Marione Martin A Cherokee woman is charged with breaking a door and injuring her ex-husband in the process. Rhonda Bennett, 44, of Cherokee has been charged with a misdemeanor of malicious injury to property. According to court records, Cherokee Police Officer Tristan Hall was notified by dispatch about 9:58 a.m. that a man called saying a woman had put a pole through his window in the 300 block of Grand. Hall went to the address where he spoke with Tommy Bennett who said his ex-wife had been drinking the night before with friends at the casino. She came home and asked Bennett to put some of her stuff on the side of the house for her, which he did. Bennett said his ex-wife began to hit the door of his apartment and a blue pole came through the door, leaving a cut on his arm. He said he was holding the door because she began kicking it, and that’s when he got hit with the pole. Bennett showed Officer Hall the cut on his left forearm and the damage to the door. He said his ex-wife was in a neighboring apartment. When Hall went to find Rhonda Bennett, he could hear her in the apartment yelling that she wanted her stuff. A man answered the door and said Ms. Bennett was in the shower. Hall asked to speak with her, and she came outside. Ms. Bennett said she was just getting some of her stuff and denied hitting the door or injuring her exhusband. Hall noted that Ms. Bennett had the smell of alcohol coming from her breath. She first said she was in the shower. Then she said she was talking to her mother on the phone. A blue broom was located in front of the apartment that matched the diameter of the holes in the door. Hall asked Ms. Bennett to get her shoes, arrested her and took her to the Alfalfa County Jail. The apartment complex is owned by Royce Flaming and the damage is estimated at less than $1,000.

South Barber’s new Elementary Principal Stoddard has high expectations
By Yvonne Miller As Eric Stoddard takes his first administrative position as PreK - 6th grade principal at South Barber USD 255 in Kiowa, Kansas, he has “high expectations of the kids’ learning and behavior.” “I look forward to meeting the kids and their families – creating a family atmosphere in our school,” Stoddard said. “I want to be a fair administrator – treat students and staff fairly.” Stoddard comes to Kiowa with his wife Ashley who is employed with Share Medical Center in Alva with the billing department. They arrived in early July to get settled and he officially began his job Aug. 1. As a child Stoddard resided in the Salina area until high school where he graduated from Wakefield with a class of 20. He earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Kansas State University. Take a look around his office and you’ll see lots of purple -- Stoddard remains a huge Wildcats fan. He earned a master’s degree in education administration from Emporia State. The last nine years he’s taught and coached at Valley Heights, a consolidated school district in Blue Rapids, Kansas, where the average class size is 25-30, Stoddard said. In addition to teaching, he was head junior high girls basketball coach and assistant junior and senior high football coach. Stoddard left Valley Heights when he saw South Barber’s open principal position from a job/teaching site and got the job. “I can make a difference with more kids,” Stoddard said of his reason for becoming a principal. He said, “Valley Heights had lots more poverty than South Barber.” He believes that most parents want what’s best for their kids and said, “This gives us an opportunity to give kids an excellent education.” He realizes some children are lacking a solid home life and are short on their “soft skills such as going to church.” He said, “I was lucky to have a grandma and parents who taught me those things.” Stoddard wants to help those youth in need the best he can. He listed his favorite part of being an educator as “Listening to what kids say and seeing the kids who have less confidence and helping them figure out
how to be successful.” When asked to describe himself as a teacher and coach, “I was intense, but if they didn’t get it, we worked till they got it right. Sometimes you have to push a little. You have to set expectations and follow through.” That follows PBIS (Positive Behavior and Intervention Supports), he said, describing the method as a different way of going about setting behavior expectations and an understanding of why expectations were not met. Currently, Stoddard is working on numerous organizational things, with a goal of having it all completed by the first day of school, which is next Thursday, Aug. 25. At work less than a month, Stoddard said how “wonderful” he’s been treated by elementary secretary Mary Lynn Meyers, Superintendent Dr. Andi Williams and 7-12 Principal Brent Shaffer. “The teachers have been awesome,” the new principal said. “It’s pretty incredible the extra effort they do.” He also complimented longtime PK-6th Principal Marcia Cantrell who retired at the end of the school year. “Marcia has been so helpful. She’s just a phone call or email away.” He mentioned the community has also been “nice and helpful.” When asked about the elementary school’s “on-watch” status that administration and staff have worked on diligently, Stoddard said Valley Heights had the same status. He said the state is ever-changing their requirements for identifying “on-watch.” He said, “There hasn’t been consistency on how to meet the requirements. It’s like trying to hit a moving target.” As for the nationally-debated “common core” approach to education,
New principal Eric Stoddard. Stoddard said, “It’s just higher standards we have to meet and adjust to. It’s a higher level of thinking.” Stoddard’s Interests Beyond Education Stoddard and Ashley celebrated their first wedding anniversary in June. They like to travel – love the mountains – and he said, “We’re excited to drive around and see this area.” Their beloved dog is Annie, a German short-hair/lab mix. Always cheering on K-State, he loves to watch all college football. He’s also a golfer and played in the Monty Thompson Memorial Golf Tournament last weekend that supports South Barber Schools. As he begins his journey at South Barber, Stoddard said he wants the public to know, “If you have a question or concern, our door is always open.”

Woman charged with embezzlement from Sonic By Marione Martin A woman has been charged with embezzling over $1,100 from a Cherokee business. On Tuesday, Aug. 8, Cherokee Assistant Police Chief Ryan McNeil was assigned to investigate the theft of a bank deposit of $1,152.88 from the Sonic Drive-In in Cherokee. The business had conducted an internal audit, and the theft was believed to have occurred on July 25, 2016. On that date at 1:18 p.m., the suspect employee was observed on video leaving the Sonic holding two bank deposit bags. At 1:27 p.m. the suspect was observed by video at the Farmers Exchange Bank depositing only one bag. McNeil obtained still photographs from both videos. On Aug. 9, McNeil spoke Lisa Zaloudek, representing Sonic owner Hammer Williams Company. Later that day McNeil met Zaloudek at the Sonic to interview the suspect, Lavada Frye who is a manager. Frye agreed to speak with them and drove to the Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Office for the interview. See Sonic Page 30 In a post-Miranda

Tuesday’s election, all the information you need Voters will go to the polls Tuesday for the Aug. 23 runoff primary election and the Special Burlington School District I-1 Election, Alfalfa County Election Board Secretary Kelly Stein said today. Please keep the following information and tips in mind as the election approaches. • Early voting will be available at the county election board office from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday. Early voting is also available from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday. • Anyone who needs to look up their polling place, verify their registration information or view a sample ballot can do so online. The Online Voter Tool can be accessed on the Oklahoma State Election Board’s website: www. elections.ok.gov. Those who vote by mail can also check the status of their ballot using the Online Voter Tool. • Sample ballots are also available at the county election board office. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday. Lines are possible at peak voting times. Wait times will likely be shortest at mid-morning and midafternoon. Anyone in line to vote at 7 p.m. will be allowed to cast a ballot. • Oklahoma law requires every voter who votes in person at the precinct polling place or during early voting at the county election board
to show proof of identity before receiving a ballot. There are three ways for voters to prove their identity under the law (only one proof of identity is required): Show a valid photo ID issued by federal, state or tribal government; or show the free voter identification card issued to every voter by the county election board; or sign an affidavit and vote a provisional ballot. (If the information on the affidavit matches official voter registration records, the ballot will be counted after election day.) • Physically disabled voters who cannot enter the polling place, need help marking their ballots, blind or visually disabled voters and illiterate voters may be assisted by a person the voter chooses. In all cases, a person providing such assistance may not be the voter’s employer or an agent of the employer or an officer or agent of the voter’s union. A person providing assistance also must swear or affirm that the voter’s ballots will be marked in accordance with the voter’s wishes. Alternatively, all blind, visually impaired and physically disabled voters in Alfalfa County may use the audio-tactile interface (ATI), a feature offered on all Oklahoma voting devices, to vote privately and independently, either at Alfalfa County Election Board during early voting
or at their assigned polling place on election day. • Voters who have moved since the last election, but who have not transferred their voter registration to their new address, may do so on election day by going to vote at the polling place where their registration has been in the past. While voting, they may fill out a form instructing the county election board to transfer their registration to the new address before the next election. • Those who became physically incapacitated after 5 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 16, still can request an emergency absentee ballot. Those who might qualify for an emergency absentee ballot should contact the county election board office at 580596-2718 as soon as possible for more information. • Any violation of election law will be reported to the proper law enforcement authorities. Electioneering is not allowed within 300 feet of a ballot box. It is also unlawful to remove a ballot from the polling location, possess intoxicating liquors within half a mile of a polling place or to disclose how you voted while within the election enclosure.

From Page 27 Oklahoma’s Coaches Sonic Mentoring Challenge recognizes local coaches Nearly 400 coaches have joined forces to endorse Oklahoma’s Coaches Mentoring Challenge, a statewide campaign running Aug. 1 through Nov. 30 to encourage sports fans to mentor young people in their communities including four local coaches: Steve Gale, athletic director at the Alva High School, and (from Waynoka Public Schools) head coach football and track Scott Kysar, assistant coach football and track Beau Westfahl and assistant football and track (junior high and high school) Tim Crissup. The Coaches’ Mentoring Challenge started in 2008 as a friendly competition between mentoring advocates Coach Tom Osborne of the University of Nebraska and Coach Bill Snyder at Kansas State University. Since then, many coaches from universities, colleges and secondary schools around the country have signed up to endorse the challenge. According to MENTOR, the National Mentoring Partnership, it is estimated that one in three Oklahoma children are in need
of a mentor – someone to listen, to encourage and to set a positive example for them. In a survey of state mentoring organizations, the Boren Mentoring Initiative found that the greatest challenge facing mentoring programs was a shortage of volunteers, Woodrome added. “We need grassroots support from across the state to make this campaign a success for Oklahoma kids.” The Boren Mentoring Initiative, named for Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence founder and chairman David L. Boren and his wife, Molly, grew out of Boren’s own commitment to mentoring and the proven impact it can have on a student’s success in and out of the classroom. The initiative was launched in 2006 to promote the growth and development of quality youth mentoring programs statewide. For more information on the Coaches’ Mentoring Challenge, visit www.okcoacheschallenge.org or contact Woodrome at 405-236-0006; bwoodrome@ofe.org.
rights interview, Frye explained about reporting deposit discrepancies to her employers. Zaloudek explained that all but one deposit were accounted for. Frye said she didn’t know what happened to the deposit that was missing. McNeil and Zaloudek explained to Frye about the videos of the incident, which showed Frye leaving with two deposits but making only one at the bank. She was shown the still photos from the videos. Frye said while she was at the bank, one of the deposit bags had fallen out of her purse and she didn’t realize it. She said it was the next day when she realized the bag was still in her vehicle and didn’t know what to do with it. Frye admitted during the interview that she spent the money from the deposit bag and returned the empty bag to the business. She did not want to write out a statement. Frye was arrested and booked into the Alfalfa County Jail. On Aug. 12 in Alfalfa County, Lavada Lynn Frye, 48, of Cherokee was charged with felony embezzlement. The crime is punishable by imprisonment in the state penitentiary for not more than five years and a fine not to exceed $5,000 and restitution. Her bond was set at $10,000 and an appearance bond has been posted. Her initial appearance in court has been set for Aug. 31.

Kiowa City Council approves utility rate increases, 2017 budget approved By Yvonne Miller In the absence of Kiowa Mayor Brandon Farney, City Councilman Bill Watson conducted the August meeting of the Kiowa City Council. Council members present were Tom Wells, Brian Hill and R.L. Simpson. Russell Molz was absent. City Administrator Lou Leone sat at the council table along with City Clerk Marlo Rugg and City Attorney Laurel McClellan. The meeting opened with a public hearing for the 2017 budget. With no members of the public present to comment about the budget, council approved the budget that City Administrator Leone prepared and they have previously reviewed. The budget is “near $3 million,” Leone said. The approved budget calls for a mill increase of 3.985 to 43.985 mills. Kiowa woman LaTisha Fitzwater appeared on the public agenda. She requested that the council revise the city’s ordinance on pit bulls to be more breed specific. The council agreed to have their attorney, McClellan, further research the issue. Utility Rate Increases At previous meetings, Leone discussed with council the need for the city’s utilities to pay for themselves and not continue to lose money. Therefore council approved Resolution No. 273 to raise utility rates at the August meeting. The water rate for every 1,000 gallons over 2,000 gallons was $3.64. That charge will be $5.32 as of Oct. 1. Leone confirmed that makes the wholesale price of water a 46 percent increase. He said Hazelton will also see that increase as Kiowa provides the City of Hazelton with that service. Solid waste rates were $15.50 per month and will increase to $20. Leone said that is a 29 percent increase across the board. Sewer is selling at a loss currently. That $7 per month charge will increase to $11 per month. Other City Council Action
Each year the League of Kansas Municipalities updates and provides for purchase of the “Standard Traffic Ordinance for Kansas Cities” (STO) and the “Uniform Public Offense Code” (UPOC). The council approved Ordinances 429 and 430 for the updates. Cost is $8.50 per book and council directed Mayor Farney to sign and purchase the necessary copies. The council discussed a computer service contract as Alex Rugg said he no longer has time to provide that service. A quote from Dirks Copy Products was discussed and tabled until further research. An executive session was held at the end of the meeting to discuss confidential data relating to financials or trade secrets of second parties. Reportedly, no action was taken afterward. Administrator Leone Voted as EMP3 Vice-Chair Leone reminded council they are encouraged to attend the Energy Management Project No. 3 (EMP3) meeting to be held in Kiowa August 18. The City of Kiowa is hosting the meeting through the Kansas Municipal Energy Agency (KMEA) of which they are a member. EMP3 provides electricity for the participating cities who are in the pool. Leone told the council he was elected vice-chair of the EMP3 group. He said this will give Kiowa increased access to KMEA and future projects. The administrator apprised council there is a significant increase in the number of leaks and ongoing repairs to the city’s main water line from the water supply near Sharon, Kansas. Leone said he’s spoken to Ransom Capital about possible financing to install a new line. This important issue will be further addressed by the council in the future. To enhance security at the front of the city office, Leone said they are researching cameras. The council agreed to sell the city’s surplus of small items cleaned out of the city office and police department for $1
to Kiowa’s General Store. Leone has received positive feedback from cities who left their city swimming pools half to three quarters full with a tarp cover for the winter. This is to limit utility costs at the beginning of the pool season. Sewer cleaning is ongoing and the water towers will be cleaned toward the end of August. There was a power outage on July 25 due to storms in Oklahoma and originated on the AEC side of the Burlington sub-station, according to Leone. This left Kiowa without power for many hours. While purchasing a larger generator is cost prohibitive, Leone said he’s researching purchasing a smaller unit to boost the output of the city’s generator. Regarding irrigation of the city’s wastewater lagoons south of town, Leone said landowner Schrock has agreed to the deal and he awaits the okay from landowner Johnson. The administrator said he has new maps coming that should help the city solve drainage problems in several parts of Kiowa.
