By Marione Martin A missing juvenile girl from Carmen was apparently moved from one location to another while law enforcement officers searched for her. In that way, various people were able to deny she was with them and misdirect officers. According to the affidavit on file, the mother contacted the Alfalfa County Sheriff’s office about 9 a.m. on Feb. 18 after her daughter did not return. She said her daughter left to be with her boyfriend the night before and she had been unable to locate her. The mother did receive a text from her from a friend’s phone. Deputy Blake Trekell met with friends of the girl in Cherokee who said they had seen her in Alva. Meanwhile the mother was told her daughter might be at the RV of Ronald
McClary of Cherokee. She told Trekell she had just been there and saw the girl. When Trekell went to McClary’s RV, he denied knowing who the girl was. He then suggested Trekell look for the missing girl in Alva. Trekell, along with Woods County Sheriff’s Deputy Keith Dale, went to an Alva residence to question a person who said the girl was not there but he and another person had seen her on the downtown square that morning. He also said they had taken her to McClary’s RV. When the other individual was questioned, he said he was tired of playing the game and showed them to an abandoned
barn in Alva where the girl was found asleep on the floor. The parents drove to Alva to pick up the girl. After talking with her, the mother brought the girl back to talk with officers. She told them she had been offered beer and cigarettes by McClary and drank half a beer. She said she was tired so went to lie down and that McClary touched her in a sexual way. Later friends drove her to Alva and took her to the barn so she could wait for her boyfriend to get off work. Ronald Dean McClary, 41, has been charged in Alfalfa County with lewd molestation and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Lynn Says
Brain damaging habits By Lynn L. Martin As I grow older, like most senior citizens, I am thoroughly griped when I can’t remember something that should be a piece of cake to remember. It’s not so bad to forget the title of a song. It becomes a real embarrassment when you can’t recall the name of a fellow church goer you see every Sunday. The list below was not created by me. It is from an internet source. The ideas sound logical to me so I thought you would enjoy seeing what you can do to preserve memory.
1.No Breakfast. People who do not eat breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration. 2.Overeating. It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power. 3.Smoking. It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer’s disease. 4.High Sugar Consumption. Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development. 5.Air Pollution. The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our bodies. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6.Sleep Deprivation. Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells. 7.Head Covered While Sleeping. Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decreases concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects. 8.Working Your Brain During Illness. Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain. 9.Lacking in Stimulating Thoughts. Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage. 10.Talking Rarely. Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain

Meriwether is candidate Election law violations for State FFA Officer Layne Meriwether, a member of the Waynoka FFA chapter is a candidate for northwest district vice president. Elections for eight new state officers are held during the 86th annual Oklahoma FFA Convention May 1-2. State officers travel across the state and nation representing more than 23,000 Oklahoma FFA members. They provide leadership and personal development training for FFA members and make decisions about organizational
policy. A nominating committee interviewed 46 candidates in early February and narrowed the field of candidates to three for each of the seven offices up for election. The eighth race is for state president. The four candidates in this race served as officers in 2011-2012. Two delegates from each of Oklahoma’s 354 official chapters will cast the deciding votes during the upcoming convention. Delegates choose officers based on the candidate’s leadership skills and FFA accomplishments. Each candidate must meet requirements for the State FFA Degree. The state president, secretary and reporter are elected in a statewide business session, and five district vice presidents are chosen in district meetings. “Serving as a state officer is considered one of the greatest honors in the FFA,” said Kent Boggs, state FFA executive secretary. “Officers are expected to be outstanding role models and set the standard for fellow members.” The new officers will be introduced during the final convention session, Wednesday, May 2, in the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City.

Persons violating election laws during the Tuesday, March 6, Presidential Preferential Primary Election can expect to be reported, election officials promised today. Kelly Stein, Secretary of the Alfalfa County Election Board, said that apparent violations will be reported to the appropriate law enforcement agencies. Stein pointed out that electioneering is prohibited within 300 feet of any ballot box while an election is in progress. “In fact, no one except election officials and voters waiting to vote is allowed within 50 feet of any ballot box on election day.” Stein said it also is unlawful to take intoxicating liquors of any kind or quantity to within one-half mile of a polling place on election day. Two other violations also were discussed by Stein. “It is unlawful for any person to disclose how he voted to any other person within the election enclosure,” Stein said. “And, it’s against the law for anyone to remove a ballot from the polling place or to carry a ballot into the polling place.”

City of Kiowa hires new police officer, detours coming By Yvonne Miller Kiowa’s City Council held a special meeting Monday night that lasted about 30 minutes. Following a 20-minute executive session, council voted 4-1 to hire a new police officer. Councilman Mark Lambert made the motion to hire the officer, seconded by Russel Molz. Brandon Poland and Bill Watson also voted yes. Brian Hill cast the no vote. The new officer is Robert McGlothlin who comes from Sedgwick County where he’s been working, City Administrator Nathan Law said. The city will send Mc-
Glothlin to an upcoming CLEET training. As is customary the new officer will have a six-month probation period, have to pass evaluations, etc. Officer McGlothlin started Tuesday with a council-approved salary of $23,000. Law brought a few other issues to council’s attention. He said some mortar on the Historical Museum needs work. City employee Lance Shipley, who has brick-laying experience, will re-tuck the brick on the north and west sides of the building, Law said. Kiowa’s West Railroad Track Crossing Closed Next Monday BNSF Railroad plans maintenance on the Main St crossing on the west edge of Kiowa. Law said railroad officials said they’ll start next Monday, March 5. They anticipate work to take two days as they work on the easternmost track of the multi-track crossing. Motorists can easily detour by going
north of the tracks up Commercial St.., and follow the signs up to Hardtner St., to that railroad crossing. Law said BNSF plans more railroad maintenance April 9-13. K2 Culvert Construction and Detour Coming in July Council approved signing an agreement with KDOT regarding culvert construction west of Kiowa and a detour coming in July. On K2 Highway directly west of Kiowa, KDOT will install two culverts – one before the curves and one at the first curve. It’s an estimated 8-10 week project. This will cause a major official detour. The intersection of HWY 281 and K2 (the old port) west of Kiowa will be closed to through traffic. The detour will go south toward Alva to the Highway 11 intersection and take motorists east through Capron and back up Highway 8 to Kiowa. Locals will naturally make their own detours.

What is ADHD? Answers in Barber County program Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiological disorder characterized by developmentally inappropriate impulsivity, inattention, and in some cases, hyperactivity. Everyone has occasional difficulty sitting still, paying attention, or controlling impulsive behavior. For some children and adults, however, the problem is so pervasive and persistent that it interferes with their daily lives at home, at school, at work, and in social settings. Until recently it was believed that children outgrew ADHD in adolescence. However, we now know that many symptoms continue into adulthood. If the disorder goes undiagnosed or untreated, adults with the disorder may experience trouble at work and in
relationships, as well as emotional difficulties such as anxiety and depression. People with ADHD can be very successful in life. But without appropriate identification and treatment, ADHD can have serious consequences, including school failure, depression, conduct disorder, failed relationships, and substance abuse. Early identification and treatment are extremely important. If you want to learn more, come to “What is ADHD?” presented by Amy Collins, Stafford County Extension Agent, on March 6th at noon at the Sunflower Room at the Peoples Bank. This program is sponsored by the Barber County HEU Council. For more information, contact Robin Eubank at the Extension Office at 886- 3971 or reubank@ksu.edu
said today. Stein said state law permits registered voters who will be unable to go to the polls because they became incapacitated after 5 p.m. Tuesday, February 28, to vote on an emergency basis. “Physical incapacitation” includes a variety of conditions – injury, illness, childbirth – that prevent a person from voting in person at the polls on election day. “If you think that you or someone you know fits into this category, contact the County Election Board office at 580596-2718 as soon as possible for more information,” Stein said.

Jet man tries to conceal hit and run
FIRST PLACE – Back, from left: Bayli Hyde and Tanner Rieger, front: Jaden Allen and Justin George are shown with the first place plaque they received for livestock juding at the 2012 Alfalfa County Livestock Show. Bayli placed 1st in beef judging, Justin placed 1st in reasons, and Tanner placed 1st overall, winning in sheep and swine. All are members of Burlington Senior 4-H.
By Marione Martin A Jet man faces several charges after he apparently tried to conceal the reason for damage to a company pickup. On Feb. 16 Jeremy Donald Gilliland, 29, contacted the Alfalfa County Sheriff’s office to report his company vehicle had been hit while parked at his residence in Jet. Troopers Darin Lancaster and Randy McCullough along with Sheriff’s Deputy Blake Trekell investigated. McCullough was in Jet to investigate another hit and run accident. Gilliland told officers the accident happened between 11 p.m. on Feb. 15 and 8 a.m. on Feb. 16. When officers inspected the area they became suspicious that evidence on the scene did not match the damage to the side mirror and front quarter panel of the vehicle. According to the affidavit on file, when Trooper Lancaster later met with Gilliland, the man admitted he was driving the vehicle the night before when his cell phone slipped off. When he tried to retrieve it, he hit a parked vehicle, a 1996 Chevrolet pickup owned by Rory Lovely of Jet. Gilliland said he did not report the accident in the company vehicle because he was afraid of losing his job. Gilliland now faces five charges: obstructing an officer, leaving the scene of an accident, failure to stop at an accident in order to avoid detection, failure to report an accident causing property damage, and false reporting of a crime. All are misdemeanors.

Hospital CEO Aldeen “Van” Vandeveer said “things are progressing” regarding the new hospital building project. The board authorized signing of numerous resolutions required in obtaining the USDA loan. If approved that loan will provide the $2.5 million dollar GAP funding required to complete the estimated $6.5 million new hospital construction project. Four million in funding is approved by the Barber County Commissioners in the form of bonds that will be paid by taxpayers. “The key piece in our hospital getting (USDA) funding is the Foundation,” Vandeveer said. Headed by Judy Schrock, the hospital’s foundation has and continues to raise substantial funds. The amount of funds raised thus far is not yet officially announced. Foundation committee member Karla Johnston, DON at the hospital, said they will organize rooms in the new fa-
cility so they can be named after individual donors. Vandeveer said the BKD overview of the hospital district (required for the USDA loan application process) was “very conservative.” He said the report was zip code-based and had no referrals to the oil and gas boom in the area. He said the USDA was OK with the report. The CEO said they need to set a special board meeting date to discuss details with USDA reps by phone. March 5 is a tentative date. All board members attended the meeting including President Zack Odell, Robert Stark, Robert Armbruster, Lori Schrock and Dan Lukins. CFO Janell Goodno was ill. Hospital and Manor Financials and Statistics For January the hospital showed a gain of $9,545.10. That’s with the addition of $62,454.29 tax support. Other net from operations would have been a loss of $52,909.19. “January was a slow month,” Vandeveer said of hospital/clinic business. Total admissions were 16 with total days of acute and swingbed care 32. Outpatient visits totaled 532 and clinic visits were 374. Hospital’s total assets were $2,678,112.71 at the end of January. Total accounts receivable were $838,306.04, less allowance for bad debts of $327,000 and less allowance for contractual adjustment of $91,000. That makes total net patient A/R $420,306.04. At the manor in January net patient
revenue was $130,903.53. The average resident census was 25. As of Thursday the census was 23. Total operating expenses were $168,365.73. Vandeveer said agency nursing expense was “significant.” DON Nicole Tronsgard said the manor needs another registered nurse. The have a couple new CNA’s, she said. With the addition of $5000 tax support, the manor lost $32,461.90 in January. Other Business After 34 years, Medical Assistant Janie Rathgeber retired and a reception was held in her honor at the hospital Friday. Reporting on progress of the NextGen electronic medical records installation, Vandeveer said they’ll have a monthly maintenance fee of about $8,700. Some of the expense of this electronic system mandated by the federal government is to be reimbursed. The project should be complete in about three months, Vandeveer said. The hospital is having to negotiate with the previous company about making a smooth data transition as it’s a rather touchy situation, personnel indicated. HR Director Angela Whitely said March is employee health insurance renewal time. She’s heard no complaints about this consumer-driven health plan since they changed to it last year. DON Johnston said that viruses are running rampant the last several weeks. As of Thursday, she said they had two positive cases of influenza.
