City gives 25 percent less help than hospital requests for water line costs By Yvonne Miller It took two evening meetings, for a total of nearly four hours, for Kiowa’s City Council to make a decision regarding paying part of the cost for the new water line needed to the location of Kiowa’s new hospital on the south end of Kiowa. The Kiowa District Hospital (KDH) submitted a petition requesting the city pay half of the estimated $60,000 cost of bringing an eight inch water line from the water tower to the new hospital site. The distance is roughly two-
and-a-half blocks. The hospital property is within city limits, but has never had a water line out that far because the property is a field. The new hospital plans budgeted $30,000 for the water line that would go straight to their property. However, City Administrator Nathan Law said Kiowa’s fire chief recommended it would be best if a loop was put in to give ample fire protection. Hospital officials say they wouldn’t need the entire loop themselves. The loop could give others in the area fire protection as well, such as the motel that hopes to be there. That’s why the hospital requests the city pay half of the cost. The city would install necessary fire hydrants, etc. The purpose of the Monday, October 22 adjourned meeting of the city council, from the regular October meeting was to settle how the city would handle the hospital’s request to go half-and-half on the water line cost. Mayor Brandon Farney led the meeting, with all councilmen attending: Bill Watson, Brian Hill, Russel Molz, Brandon Poland and Mark Lambert. City Administrator Law was pres-
ent, along with City Clerk Marlo Rugg. From the comments made by some councilmen, they were under the impression the hospital plan did not budget anything for the water line. They apparently also thought the hospital wanted the city to fund the water line project for 20 years. Many councilmen repeatedly voiced opposition to both of those thoughts. Law provided wording from Resolution 230 stating that the petitioner must pay 100 percent of such a project. That’s a situation like when the residents in the Humphrey Addition needed city sewer service brought in to their homes. In that case, each property owner was assessed; in this case there is only one petitioner. Councilman Poland voiced many questions about the hospital’s request. “The longer I look at this, I don’t understand the request,” Poland said. “We (the city) have some cash flow issues of our own.” He is worried about the expense of tearing down the dilapidated bowling alley building, and more.

Shiever named interim high school principal; Benson designated lead teacher at Longfellow By Lynn L. Martin The Alva Board of Education held three executive sessions Monday night. The first was to approve a contract with Steve Parkhurst, who was named interim superintendent on October 18, 2012, after the sudden resignation of Vickie Johnson. Parkhurst will be paid 8/12’s of Vickie Johnson’s pay through the end of June 2013. The second executive session saw the board approve moving Longfellow Elementary Principal Steve Shiever to the position of interim principal at Alva High School.
The next executive session approved naming Longfellow teacher Sherri Benson as “Lead Teacher” for the school. In other items, during his principal’s report, Steve Shiever reported that Longfellow School received a $20,000 gift for playground equipment. He said the “Big Toy” will be replaced as it is pretty battered. Three items were declared surplus. These include monkey bars at Lincoln, an HP printer at Washington, and two VCR’s at Washington. The total enrollment for the district, that will be reported to the State, stands at 987, according to Supt. Parkhurst.
Steve Shiever
Sherri Benson
Washington Elementary has 237 students; Longfellow Elementary has 136 students; Lincoln Elementary has 135 students; Alva Middle School 218 students; and Alva High School 251 students. Two or three of the principal’s said they had added a student that day which could cause the numbers to vary a little. The board passed a motion calling for a school election on February 12, 2013. Seat three, held by Kenneth Byrd, will be up for candidate filing. Will Jenkins III was hired as a noncertified employee for the remainder of the school year at Alva Middle School, to serve as an “interventionist” for AMS students. The position was described as to work with students who are struggling, and perhaps remediate them sufficiently to not be moved into the specialed categories. He will be paid $15,945 for the remainder of the school year. Sarah Talbert has joined the district as a paraprofessional at $13,382 for the remainder of the year. The board took no action on a proposal to lease mineral rights on a district property to Chesapeake. The process seems to require two documents, and the board decided to invite Chesapeake land-man Brian A. Gibbs to the December board meeting to answer questions. Board member Larry Parker expressed concern that the firm might place a drilling rig on school property. In reviewing the list of bills to be paid, one large expense, in the amount of $5,810, was to refinish gym floors. Also, $8,427 remains from the previous bond issue. This will be used to install a handicapped chair lift so students can make it to the second floor high school cafeteria, without having to use the outside ramp during winter. Before the meeting began, it was obvious that regular minutes secretary, Becky Pingelton, was not present. It was told that Becky is scheduled to have quadruple bypass surgery and will be off work for several weeks.

‘Oklahoma has one of the strongest economies in the whole world!’ By Lynn L. Martin Gov. Mary Fallin appointed Dave Lopez as Director of the Oklahoma Department of Commerce about a year ago. Last Thursday, he spoke at the Alva Rotary Club. The next day (November 2, 2012), Fallin announced that Lopez will resign from that post, but will continue to serve as Secretary of Commerce in Fallin’s cabinet. He said he wanted to work more in economic development. Fallin announced that the agency’s deputy director, Jonna Kirschner, will replace Lopez as executive director, effective Dec. 1. In his speech to the Alva Rotary club, Lopez said it was fun to come up here to Alva, because things are so positive. He said, “Being at the epicenter of the Mississippian play, I think your future is going to be bright.” Lopez tried to illustrate Oklahoma’s healthy economic position by providing a snapshot of what is happening in Oklahoma at the moment. He said, “Oklahoma has one of the better economies in the USA. Although our nation is still struggling, the economy in this
country is still better than most other places in the world. “If the logic holds up, then Oklahoma has one of the strongest economies in the whole world!”, he said. The director cited several points to back up his statement: First, Oklahoma is second in the nation in manufacturing growth. Over the last 12 months, the State has employment growth of 6.1%, which is second highest in the nation. “If you go back to January 2011, when Governor Fallin took office, and you add both years together, we’re number one in the nation in job growth,” he said. Lopez pointed out that while unemployment is at 5.2%, worker participation is up. Since Gov. Fallin took office, Oklahoma is up about 57,000 jobs. He said, “In fact, we’re one of only four states in the nation to recover all the jobs lost in the 2008 recession. Since those statistics are from the Department of Labor and the U. S. Census Bureau, it’s pretty neat to think how well Oklahoma is doing at the moment.” Augmenting his point at how healthy Oklahoma is, he said, “If you look at eight out of the last nine quarters, Oklahoma is only one of three states who’ve seen its personal income grow faster than the rest of the nation . . . the other two being Texas and North
Dakota. Lopez reasoned that Oklahoma really ought to get credit for N. Dakota’s health, because firms headquartered in Oklahoma are working the oil rich Bakken Shale fields there. Why is Oklahoma Healthy? Dave Lopez said Oklahoma is healthy because of three reasons. First, when Gov. Fallin took office, the state was looking at a $500 million deficit in the budget. While other states came up with rosy projections to handle their budget woes, they now have to live with the consequences because that didn’t happen. The poster children for that philosophy includes California and Illinois. Oklahoma’s policy makers took a different tact and said, “Let’s work with what we’ve got. We bit the bullet, and did not spend money we didn’t have.” “At that time, we had $2.93 left in the Rainy Day fund. Now, 22-23 months later, the Rainy Day fund is approaching a balance of $600 million dollars. We balanced the budget, and state revenue is very strong at the moment,” he said. Lopez said another factor in Oklahoma’s recovery is that the Governor, working together with the legislature, has taken on a business-friendly atti-

Cherokee School Board approves several fundraisers By Bethany Stout Cherokee school board members approved several fundraisers at their regular meeting on Monday Nov. 5. Fundraisers included selling Tootsie Pop suckers to raise money for the sixth grade class; it will be sponsored by Matt Guffy and Bretta Woodard. The seventh grade class will be selling raffle tickets to raise money for their class. The tickets will
be sold at basketball games and will be sponsored by Lucinda Ledwig and Charity VanMeter. The yearbook was also approved to sell spirit bracelets; this will be sponsored by Lucinda Ledwig. The remainder of the meeting was routine in nature including approval of the treasurer’s and activity fund reports. Several encumbrances for the general fund, building fund and child nutrition
fun were all approved. The administrative reports budget was discussed as well as possible concerns for budget cuts; no action was taken during this meeting. The regular school board meeting schedule for 2013 was presented and discussed. Concerns about scheduling meetings so that bills will be approved before they are due were voiced, and a schedule was approved to meet the needs.
Alfalfa Districts 2 and 3 getting new tractors, mowers By Roger McKenzie Fund transfers approved at the Alfalfa County commissioner’s end of month meeting on Oct. 31, means that District 2 and District 3 can purchase some new tractors and mowers. A new commissioners’ secretary search was narrowed down to four; and a final step was taken to get the long-awaited Dacoma Blacktop repaving started. A fund transfer of $42,000 for District 2 moves money, and makes it available to purchase one tractor and mower. A similar fund transfer of $137,000 for District 3 paves the way to purchase three new tractors and mowers. The county will be trading in three mowers and two tractors in the purchases. A lot of candidates have come forward seeking to fill the newly vacant commissioners’ secretary position. An
executive session was held to consider candidates. After the session was over, the field was narrowed down to just four. No selection among the four was made. The matter was tabled for further review. The commissioners approved a formal resolution for a right-of-way agreement for repaving five miles of the Dacoma Blacktop Road. Four miles will be in Alfalfa County, and one mile will be in Woods County. The move clears the last obstacle for getting the paving underway. Road crossing permits were approved. Twenty-two permits totaled $23,500 in fees. The breakdown among county districts is 6.5 permits for District 1 ($12,000); 6.25 permits for District 2 ($4,500); and 9.5 permits for District 3 ($7,000). Some items on the agenda were
not acted on. The Cherokee Chief of Police did not attend the meeting. He was expected to speak about the city’s Emergency 911 System. A mineral lease with Sandridge for county property was tabled. The county commissioners did replace Lisa Diacon with Melissa Colvin as receiving officer for the county treasurer’s office. They also authorized County Clerk Laneta Unruh to seek bids for a brush rig and equipment for Carmen Rescue. A private property access easement was also approved. The land is located three miles east of Cherokee. The Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Office was given permission to dispose of an IBM Wheelwriter 30 Series II printer. In other business, the commissioners approved minutes, maintenance and operations warrants, payroll warrants, and blanket purchase orders.

Waynoka School Board celebrates accomplishments By Bethany Stout Principal Michael Meriwether shared with board members at the November 5 meeting that Waynoka High School has officially received a grade of A (4.0) on the A-F report from the Board of Education, and he is very proud of that achievement. The elementary/middle school received a B (3.66), and he reported is also something of which to be very proud. The regulations used for this rating system made it very difficult for schools to receive an A, giving the school board something to celebrate. Also reported at the meeting was a letter received by Meriwether congratulating Waynoka Schools on their 100% of highly quali-
fied teacher status from OSDE. During the meeting, the school board also approved finalizing the specifications for the scoreboards for the football field and basketball court; updating the bleachers on the football field; and making updates to improve the acoustics in the multipurpose building. With these finalized specifications, superintendent Constein and principal Meriwether will seek official bids to present to the board in future meetings. The board approved financial budgets for the general fund, child nutrition fund and a supplemental appropriation of funds for the Coop Fund to cover salaries paid prior to Freedom
school leaving the Coop. School board meeting schedule for the 2013 school year was reviewed and approved as presented. The board approved to designate an official OSSBA legislative liaison for 2012-2013. The main task of this position will be to improve communication with legislature about important issues for the educators and school board. Constein reported that the school has had no dropouts for the 2011-2012 school year. Also approved by the board was a fundraising request for the library. The remainder of the meeting was dedicated to reviewing policy actions for the Waynoka Board of Education Policy Book Section F.
Burlington member wins national award at 85th National FFA Convention & Expo A local FFA member, already immersed in a hands-on experience aimed to jumpstart careers in agriculture, can add one more impressive achievement: national winner. William James Maltbie, of the Burlington FFA, was named national winner of the Diversified Horticulture – Entrepreneurship/Placement Award by a panel of judges Friday, during the 85th National FFA Convention & Expo in Indianapolis. Maltbie was one of four FFA members nationwide selected as national finalists in the Diversified Hor-
ticulture – Entrepreneurship/Placement area sponsored nationally by Nationwide Insurance Foundation as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. The National FFA Organization’s Agricultural Proficiency Awards program recognizes outstanding student achievement in agribusiness gained through establishment of a new business, working for an existing company or otherwise gaining hands-on career experience. It serves as the award structure for an FFA member’s Supervised Agricultural Expe-
rience (mandatory for all FFA members) that is designed to develop specialized skills in 49 categories that they can apply toward their future careers. Awards, like the Diversified Horticulture – Entrepreneurship/Placement Award, are available at the local, state and national levels. Maltbie became eligible for the national award after winning the Oklahoma state FFA competition earlier this year and will take home a $1,000 award plus a special plaque. William James Maltbie of the Burlington FFA Chapter in Oklahoma fell in love with his first riding lawn mower, because it reminded him of a mini tractor. Soon he added the hedge trimmer, weed eater and blower to his landscaping repertoire. Maltbie has increased the number of lawns he services from eight to 32, winning clients who acknowledge his work ethic and expertise. He is supported by his parents, Janet and James, and his FFA advisor, Travis Bradshaw. More information can be found online about the Agricultural Proficiency Awards (ffa.org/proficiency), the Supervised Agricultural Experience (ffa.org/ SAE) and the 85th National FFA Convention & Expo (ffa.org/convention) on the National FFA Organization’s web site, FFA.org.

First, they unanimously approved the Kiowa Planning Commission’s recommendation to approve a zoning change from residential to commercial. This is on Faye Conaway and Bob Pedigo’s property at 802 S. 4th St. (on the south edge of Kiowa, along the east side of 4th St./Highway 8). They are constructing a structure that will be known as Kiowa Motel, a 20 room facility, to open in late spring 2013. See related story. • Council also approved a $7,925 total purchase for materials needed to make upgrades and improvements to the city’s electrical equipment. • City Administrator Nathan Law said that parent and businessman Mike Anderson put together a Hunter Safety Course for youth. He requested the group use the city-owned shooting range. Earlier the city closed the shooting range because of no longer being able to get insurance coverage for it. Anderson gave Law a Hold Harmless agreement. Despite that, Councilman See Approves Page 42

Says tude. A lot of Oklahoma communities, like Alva, have followed suit in being positive for business. When these businesses feel “beat-up” in other states, they like what’s happening in Oklahoma. He said part of that friendliness is beause the Governor and the legislature have left intact some tools to let us succeed in economic development. He cited the “engineer tax credit.” Aerospace engineers, as well as their employers, get some tax-credits when they hire Oklahoma graduates; and even if they are not Oklahoma graduates, and they move here, they still get the credit. Lopez cited the results. He said that the aerospace sector is now the second largest industry in the State, next to energy. “You’ve heard of Boeing’s growth in Oklahoma City, with jobs coming from Wichita, Long Beach and Puget Sound. Would that growth have happened without the incentive. I can’t say, but I’m sure glad we had those tools available.” Concluding, “Perhaps the best way to compare how good things are at the moment — a couple of weeks ago the Census Bureau came out with their median household income figures for the nation. The average growth in this country was 1.5%. BUT, there was one state that hit 9%. And that State was Oklahoma!

New Kiowa Motel under constructionl; late spring opening projected By Yvonne Miller By late next spring, Kiowa, Kan., will have a new 20-room motel called simply – Kiowa Motel. Local couple Bob Pedigo and Faye Conaway are owners of the new motel under construction on the south end of Kiowa, on the east side of Highway 8. It’s located on just over one acre of 2 ½ acres they own between the water tower and new hospital site. The couple retired in Kiowa five years ago from California, where Bob was a civil engineer, and Faye was an engineer assistant and also worked for TWA many years. Faye’s childhood home is Medicine Lodge, and she still has family in this area. Her sister is Ada Colborn of Kiowa. Their parents were Nettie and Walter Conaway. Moving back to Barber County in Kiowa, Faye said, “We felt we needed to be creative and do something for the community – leave a good mark on the community.” The couple owns 11 rental properties in Kiowa. Faye said they receive several calls daily from people inquiring about a place to stay in Kiowa. Her son Mike Bauerlein is a general contractor and is building the motel. Faye said the motel is independentlyowned and designed as an enclosed onestory structure. Entry to rooms will be through the lobby. Bob and Faye will be hands-on man-
agement “for a while until we feel confident to turn it over.” The motel features living quarters for a manager. Faye said from the beginning they’ll hire people for housekeeping. Bob said that weather cooperating, they hope to have the motel’s roof on by Christmas, so work can be done inside throughout the winter. They hope to be open for business in April or May – June
at the latest. Watch their progress on a website Faye created for the business – kiowamotel.com Longtime Kiowa resident Dean Brintnall and his wife reside directly east of the new motel site. Bob said that Dean already told him he wants the first reservation – “to be our first paying customer.”

Waynoka FFA member a finalist for national award at 85th National FFA Convention & Expo Meriwether competed for Beef Production - Entrepreneurship award A local FFA member, already immersed in a hands-on experience aimed to jump-start careers in agriculture, can add one more impressive achievement:
Layne Meriwether
national finalist. Layne Meriwether of the Waynoka FFA was one of four national finalists for the Beef Production - Entrepreneurship proficiency award at the 85th National FFA Convention & Expo in Indianapolis. The Beef Production - Entrepreneurship area is sponsored nationally by Bayer Animal Health as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. The National FFA Organization’s Agricultural Proficiency Awards program recognizes outstanding student achievement in agribusiness gained through establishment of a new business, working for an existing company or otherwise gaining hands-on career experience. It serves as the award structure for an FFA member’s Supervised Agricultural Experience (mandatory for all FFA members) that is designed to develop specialized skills in 49 categories that they can apply toward their future careers. Awards, like the Beef Production - Entrepreneurship Award, are available at the local, state and national levels. Meriwether became eligible for the national contest after winning the Oklahoma state FFA competition earlier this year, and will take home a $500 award plus a special plaque. Layne Meriwether

Meriwether has worked to improve his herd’s genetics through an effective artificial insemination and embryo transfer program. He is supported by his parents Kelly and Michael, and his FFA advisor Jorge Huizar. ‘ More information can be found online about the Agricultural Proficiency Awards (ffa.org/proficiency), the Supervised Agricultural Experience (ffa.org/ SAE) and the 85a’ National FFA Convention & Expo (ffa.org/convention) on the National FFA Organization’s web site, FFA.org.

Approves
Brandon Poland expressed concern that a Hold Harmless agreement might not be enough in case of an accident. “We must have someone be responsible for any group out there,” Poland said. He was firm that the group using the range should have insurance. The course was the next day on Saturday. Poland also voiced concern that allowing the use would set a precedent for others who might want to use the shooting range in the future.
At the meeting via telephone, Councilman Mark Lambert moved to allow the Hunter Safety Course be held at the shooting range. Councilman Brian Hill seconded the motion. Those two voted yes. Poland and Bill Watson voted no. Councilman Russel Molz was absent from the meeting. Mayor Brandon Farney broke the tie with a yes vote. So the Hunter Safety Course was held at the city shooting range. No accidents were reported.

Kiowa
Poland also mentioned the cost of the hospital’s electrical transformer to carry the load through AEC, which is estimated at $130,000. He knows the hospital will request some financial split for that, since the hospital will be a City of Kiowa electricity customer. Mayor Farney said, “I don’t want to leave the hospital high and dry.” During the council’s discussion, there were many long pauses where no one said a word. Obviously no councilmen felt comfortable making a decision without first talking to hospital reps. So they adjourned their meeting to Tuesday evening. Council Meets with Hospital Reps Along with all councilmen, Hospital CEO Aldeen “Van” Vandeveer attended the meeting, as did hospital board members Robert Stark and Robert Armbruster, both former city councilmen. Stark told the council, “We never intended for the city to pay for this. We
were told we needed fire protection. We think we’re being fair.” Referring to expense of the water line, Start said, “It’s in our project cost.” Stark further said that $60,000 is a guesstimate. “We’re hoping it will come in under that.” When Poland questioned the hospital reps about the project, he said, “Our (the city) financial well-being is our first concern.” Armbruster said obtaining the financial input of the city for the water line is both “a need and desire,” of the hospital board. As Poland asked about the cost of electricity, Stark said the estimate is $130,000. However, he said they are working to get it much lower by going from a 2500 amp transformer to a 1500 amp. “We’re hoping to pull it down under $100,000,” Stark said. “We’re not here to rob anyone,” Stark said. “We’re just trying to build a hospital.” Van told about costs coming in about $600,000 over, and the massive reduction efforts with the planning committee and staff. Some $350,000 of the overage was geo-physical and seis-
mic, he said. Regarding the city paying part of the water line cost, Poland voiced the concern of many councilmen that they would be setting a precedent for future requests. Law said each project could be considered separately. Residential and commercial requests can be handled differently. Law reminded that the city gives some incentives based on employees, etc. With the mixed feelings of council, Mayor Farney asked the hospital group, “If we give 25 percent, how would you feel?” “Obviously very disappointed,” Stark replied. “I believe the city has some obligation to furnish us fire protection.” “Yes, disappointed,” Armbruster said. “But, you have to do what you have to do – and we do too.” After moments of silence, Mayor Farney said, “The door is open for a motion.” Lambert moved to have the city pay 25 percent of the $60,000. Molz seconded the motion. All other councilmen voted in favor, except Poland who voted no, so the motion passed.
