By Helen Barrett Alva Police Officer Patrick Hawley arrested Steven Hartmann, 45, at approximately 5:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 22, 2011.

Hartmann was arrested on warrants for unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia and unlawful distribution of a controlled dangerous substance (CDS).

The arrest resulted from evidence discovered during an earlier investigation on a house at 1205 Mill Street on August 7. Search warrants for that investigation and the following arrest of Effrain Barraza and Brooke Johnson allowed officers to not only check the property, but also phones and text messages.

Officer Hawley said during that investigation they found text messages from Barraza to a “Steve” at Steve’s Reds.

During the post-Miranda interview, Hartmann admitted to Officer Hawley and Deputy Keith Dale that he had given marijuana to Effrain Barraza.

Waynoka Board of Education gets good news from beginning enrollment figures

By Steve Ward The Waynoka Board of Education held its August meeting Monday night with all members present, including President Rick George, Vice President A.J. Ferguson, Clerk Mindy Zook and members Clint Olson and Donnie Miller.

Others present were Superintendent Peggy Constien, Principal Mike Meriwether and Minutes Clerk Becky Pingelton.

One of the highlights of the meeting came during the Superintendent’s report when Ms. Constien shared the 2011-2012 beginning enrollment figures which reflected an increase of 23 students from this same time last year.

The increase halted the declining trend that WISD had experienced over the past two decades, moving from 271 students in 1991 to a low of 222 in 2009. Waynoka Schools have 153 students in Pre-K through 6th, 37 in 7th and 8th, and 60 in 9-12.

In action requiring a vote, the Board approved 24 fund raisers (seven by the FCCLA). Then Meriwether remarked that due to the large amount of money solicited from the community last year, maybe something needed to be done starting next year to reduce the amount of fund raising asked of Waynoka School patrons.

The Board also unanimously approved the Internal Review Committee for this school year and also the Healthy and Fit School Advisory Committee/ Safe School Committee for the current year. Also approved was the acceptance

of credits taught by Northwest Technology Center by highly qualified teachers.

At the recommendation of Superintendent Constien, the Board approved several revisions to the Waynoka Public Schools policy book, including regulations regarding use of cell phones by drivers of school vehicles while transporting students; graduation policy, graduation requirements, student retention and Reading Deficiency Parent Notification Form.

In the financial report, Ms, Constien mentioned an increase in Gross Production revenues early in the school year, but did not have much else to report on currently. She hopes to have a more comprehensive report in October.

The administrators reported that the Waynoka Public Schools had been fully accredited with no deficiencies for the 2011-2012 year.

In other action and after discussion of possibilities on how to repair it or sell it, the Board voted to declare the 1996 Blue Bird Activity Bus surplus property to be disposed of by a method to be determined later. Also discussed were possibilities for the old gym including getting it cleaned up and the trash and/or treasures in it sold or somehow disposed of.

In information regarding school lunches, Ms Constien reported an average of 169 students eating in the school cafeteria so far. She indicated that the cooks are working hard to actually cook the meals as suggested by the State De-

partment School Lunch Division (and not use so much frozen and pre-pared foods). Constien reported that the percentage of students qualifying for the free and/or reduced lunch program is 40% so far this year.

Testing results Principal Meriwether reported that Waynoka students are gradually moving up the scale for API. With 1500 as the suggested standard, Waynoka students are up to and average of 1235 (which he reported is the highest of all Woods County Schools). He also reported that Waynoka students who are taking the ACT are averaging 19.1 which should rise with the help of new counselor Cindy Baker who is making students more aware of how to improve their scores through a series of self-paced practice tests.

The Board approved encumbrances in the following amounts: General Fund-$11,251.31; General Fund Payroll for $920,494.55; Building Fund for $3,204.25 and Child Nutrition Fund for $30,000.00.

After an executive session, the Board voted to approve the temporary full-time and/or part time employment for Jerry Snow (Maintenance/custodian position); Jacinda Perot (teaching assistant for Kindergarten class; two groundskeepers, three bus drivers and one cook for the 2011-2012 school year. The Board also unanimously approved changes to support staff salary schedule for school year 2011-2012.

Highlights of July 21, 2011 Meeting During the July 21, 2011 Board of Education Meeting, the Board accepted the resignation of Ilene Littlefield as School Counselor and then voted to employ Cindy Baker of Carmen as 4/7 Counselor. They also unanimously approved the employment of Tyson Tackett as Teacher/Coach, Ashlee Crissup as Math Teacher, and Kristi Johnson as Speech Pathologist (a position she also held last school year).

Lynn Says

Most dangerous thing in aviation . . .

By Lynn L. Martin After my last aviation article, I received an interesting note from Alva veteran aviator Wayne Kinzie. In it, he mentioned he had been flying 61 years which is quite a bit more than my 43.

Wayne offered enormous words of wisdom. He said, “I’ve come to the conclusion that the most dangerous thing in aviation is a hard-headed pilot.”

Of course Wayne is exactly right. Not too long ago, I wrote the axiom taught to me by my first flight instructor, “There

are no old, bold pilots.”

And the most common judgment sin committed by pilots is “get-home-itis.”: The saying applies to vehicle drivers just as well as pilots. A bold driver who tries to pass another on a blind hill violating the yellow line is in far greater danger than any routine piloting maneuver. A vehicle driver who boldly attempts a 35 mph curve at 65 mph will likely end up rolling his vehicle. A similar roll in an aircraft doesn’t hurt a thing except disturbing a bit of air.

Then there are vehicles both on the road and in the air that are inherently more dangerous. I would think that driving one of these huge gravel-hauling trucks at 65 mph with tons of rocks ready to hit me in the back of the head

raises the odds in not a good way.

Wayne Kinzie said many people think helicopters offer similar risks. He said he once talked to an insurance adjuster who really hated them. The adjuster described a helicopter as the only machine conceived in sin and bent on destroying itself.

“When a helicopter has a ground resistance problem, it is instant junk.

This happens when pilot error and poor maintenance create an unbalanced rotor, and it beats itself to death against the ground,” he said.

Wayne added, “The only safe place to be is inside the helicopter because it is slinging parts every where.”

The adjuster had a comment that concluded, “It just had a fit.”

Agents seize meth lab, arrest Aline landowner DA files multiple charges

By Jim Stout A meth lab was seized less than two miles north of McWillie in a joint raid August 15 by agents of the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs and Undersheriff Brandon Powell

of the Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Office.

That is information in an affidavit filed August 22 in Alfalfa County District Court.

The agents then went to the home of the landowner, William Darren Harmon, 47, of 419 Walnut, Aline and arrested him, the affidavit states. As agents entered Harmon’s home, he was attempting to pour anhydrous ammonia and other dangerous chemicals down the drains.

The affidavit noted the residence was within 2,000 feet of a school and a city park and that among the items seized

were 14 firearms including a pistol with the serial number filed off. Other items seized at the residence were dishes encrusted with a white crystal substance, rubber hoses, used filters pseudoephedrine byproducts, receipts for pseudoephedrine purchased over the internet, a small bottle containing methamphetamine, mail items depicting residency, two bottles of muriatic acid and two empty boxes of Claritin with Harmon’s name and address.

The affidavit listed items seized at the lab which were byproducts of methamphetamine manufacturing included tanks of anhydrous ammonia, filters, empty engine starter fluid cans, rubber hoses, disassembled lithium batteries, and glassware.

Charges filed against Harmon in Alfalfa County District Court include (1) unlawful possession of controlled drugs within 1,000 feet of a school; (2) 2 counts of manufacture of a controlled dangerous substance; (3) maintaining a place resorted to by users of controlled drugs; (4) possession of anhydrous ammonia with intent to manufacture a controlled drug; (5) unlawful possession of firearm during the commission of a felony.

McNett to teach 3rd grade at South Barber, her alma mater

By Yvonne Miller Moving to Kiowa as a 6th grader, Gayle (Fritts) McNett remembers sitting in the classrooms of Melva Armbruster, Mary Rose and Jim Jacobs as a student.

Now she calls them colleagues.

As a 2005 South Barber High School graduate, Gayle earned her bachelor’s degree in elementary education at NWOSU in 2009. She substitute taught in the area and had the opportunity to teach 5th and 6th grade math part-time at South Barber last year.

The departure of Tia Speed at the end of the 2010-11 school year opened the door for a new third grade teacher and Gayle was selected.

“It’s neat to teach in the school where I attended,” Gayle said. She described her co-workers as “awesome” and said, “I’m blessed to work with a group of more experienced teachers who provide us with wisdom and newer ones with fresh ideas. We have a great balance of teachers.”

Gayle comes from a family of teachers and knew from the time she was a little girl that she wanted a teaching career. Her mom Becky Buckle teaches 2nd grade at Attica. Something really

special to her husband Tyler McNett’s family is that Gayle is teaching in the very classroom occupied by his late grandmother Norma Feaster who was a beloved teacher at the elementary for decades. Norma was the mother of Jamie Terwort, Gayle’s mother-in-law.

Jungle of Learning Gayle transformed that classroom into a jungle of learning. Tyler built a “Reading Hut” in one corner where a thatched roof hangs over an animal print backdrop with comfy chairs and monkeys, giraffes and tigers roam (at least stuffed ones). This will undoubtedly be a favorite location for Gayle’s young readers.

“I am passionate about education,” Gayle said excitedly. “I want kids to want to come to school and have fun while they learn. School is a place not just to learn math, reading and English, but to become a good citizen. I want my class to feel like family in our room. I plan to offer firm structure with a caring environment for my students.”

She realizes that kids are so accustomed to constant technology with cell phones, video games, computers, etc.

“Things change so quickly now. It’s important to keep up the best we can with technology,” Gayle said. She plans to use the Smart Board everyday. She’ll also teach computer class everyday, using it to enhance students’ skills in other subjects.

Laughing, she said, “In some cases 3rd graders will know computers better than adults.”

“Kids are good,” Gayle said. She doesn’t want any of her students dreading coming to school. “I want them to realize that learning is a lifelong process.”

“I’m really excited. I’m ready to get in to teaching full-time,” Gayle said.

Gayle’s Family She and Tyler have a blonde-headed daughter Evi who just turned one at the end of July and melts hearts with one flash of her smile.

Besides playing with Evi, the couple enjoys golfing and movies – Gayle is also an avid reader. They attend the Grace Bible Fellowship.

Letter to the Editor

Cherokee Superintendent explains comments about Northwestern To the Editor I would like to thank the Alva Review Courier for posting the speech I made Aug. 9 during a town meeting regarding the revitalization of Cherokee Public Schools. As I learned as a lad growing up in Northwest Oklahoma, “perception is reality.”

In saying that and reviewing the speech myself several times, I can see how people misconstrued a comment about Northwestern Oklahoma State University not being responsible for who I am as a person or a professional.

While this might seem quite abrupt and abrasive, it’s the truth.

It’s true that in a world of political correctness I should have elaborated more and will. Let me take time to explain, especially where I talk about the track and what it symbolizes to me. You the reader or viewer did not have the

luxury to sit in one of my many meetings in Cherokee and hear about people who were important to me growing up.

I sure was not anticipating only a snippet of the video to be shown. I know I have explained in detail some of the issues that were discussed and apologize for feelings being hurt.

Folks, simply put, there were a lot a people along the sidelines who I watched and respected both as professionals and as personal mentors. I imagine none of them even expected or got a thank you. They just picked up the slack and made it happen.

People like Delmar Coppock, Bob Wilson, Allan Mitchell, Bill Blew, Terry Hague, Tim Hague, Joe Woods, Jerry Schoeb, Robert Schoeb, Dr. Carter, Dr. Vaughn, Dale Duggins, Larry Hammer, Neva Mitchell, Joyce Hague, Dr. Newton, Don Miller, Stan Crowder, Gordon

McDowell, Jerry McMahan, Dr. Benson, Lyle Hawkins, Corrine Batterton, Dean Stands, Royce Hamming, Kirk Goodwin, Alvie Trissell, the Wessels, Wilbers, Eckhardts, Cormacks, Holderbys, Hadwidgers and countless others volunteered theirtime to the community, churches and schools.

As a professional, I saw many teachers like Jim Fanning, Doris Roberts, Arlene Stauffer, Janie Harris, Floyd Stout, Loyd Stout, Merlin Overton, Bill Stout, Steve Hickman, Joyce Bender, Tom Means, Rick Brown, Buddy Murrell, Mike Conner, Delbo Leach, Stella Murrell, John Pickens, (Coach Parker from Alva) and Henry Hofen, who put kids first and foremost above all other things.

I learned to respect administrators like Merlin Overton, Freelin Roberts, See Letter Page 26

Letter

Gerald Harris, Rick Brown, Jack Bowers and Lance Miller, who did the right things when they weren’t necessarily the popular things to do.

The moral to this story is be careful who is watching because a child is soaking in everything, and they just might be someone someday. Every person has influences that shape their person. Mine just happen to be the people of Cherokee, Oklahoma. I believe many of you can think of people in your own towns as well. I just choose to think of the positive things that made me who I am.

Therefore, it’s my time to give back.

If one takes a minute of the speech and tries to wrap his or her mind around that fact that I “blast” Northwestern, I believe you, as a reader, viewer and editor, have misinterpreted what the intent purpose of that speech truly was.

Northwestern was used only as a reference of where I graduated from college. I would have used Oklahoma State University or the University of

Oklahoma if I had graduated there under the same premise. As I stated before, I reviewed the speech, and there are no insinuations or direct comments about the quality of education I received or the quality of education others have received from Northwestern. I did not raise any questions concerning the indisputable impact Northwestern Oklahoma State University plays on Cherokee and other communities it serves. I have personally called Dr. Cunningham and apologized for my statements and look forward to continued collaborations.

On the contrary, if there is someone who should know it better than anyone it should be me. My grandfather was on the Regional Colleges Board of Regents that governs Northwestern for years.

The fact is, because I was a commuter, I did not have a direct connection with the campus while attending Northwestern.

The experience was just what I made it-attending class. That was my choice.

The bottom line is I challenged the community and those who have a vested interest in the school to give back to Cherokee Public Schools -just as Northwestern challenges its students, faculty and community members to give back.

As superintendent of Cherokee Public Schools, I expect my students to understand the importance of civic duty, to volunteer and donate their time and appreciate the donations the community has given to the school in years past. I expect the community to invest some time to help address areas of needs - not just with facilities, but also with academics.

My family and I have never been too interested in the banter that seems to travel back and forth between surrounding communities and media outlets. Right or wrong the words I chose to say and how they were portrayed have sparked and provoked discussions within Cherokee and surrounding areas.

Frankly, the only reason I am responding is that this has created an excellent opportunity to help revitalize a community and also to extend the challenge to other communities to make Northwest Oklahoma the best it can be.

The blurb that the video did not show an initial statement posed that only people in Northwest Oklahoma can understand the commitment and dedication patrons provide to local communities. I still believe this to be true.

Cory Ellis, Superintendent Cherokee Public Schools

Burlington Firefighters Fill-the-Boot for MDA/Dalton Black On Kakeland TV at 7:40 p.m. Sunday Sept 4 Over the Independence Day Celebration, Robert and Bayli Hyde, along with Jeff and Dalton Black, served as local representatives of the Burlington Fire Department in the annual holiday parade.

The theme for this year’s parade was “A day without sunshine is like a day without...” Bayli Hyde completed the theme by putting that “A day without sunshine is like a day without firefighters and Dalton.”

While Bayli threw candy to the parade crowd, Dalton smiled and waved to everyone. The Burlington Fire Truck had boots tied to it for their Fill-The-Boot collection. In this manner, Burlington Fire Department was able to raise $1,500 in donations for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

There is a personal bit of history on how the Burlington Fire Department became involved in the Fill-The-Boot Program, a service tradition that has existed through the International Firefighters Association for more than fifty years. The Black and Hyde families went on a vacation to Colorado in 2001. Upon returning, it was discovered that Dalton had Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy. He was six years old at the time.

Fast forward to the present, Dalton celebrated his sixteenth birthday in April of this year. Bayli and Dalton have a great friendship. They watch movies, play the Wii, swim, and attend art class.

Dalton liked the fire trucks lights and sirens; however, he would rather ride in a NASCAR vehicle.

Fire departments in Oklahoma are the single largest sponsor, raising a significant amount of MDA’s yearly district budget. Without the money raised by the Oklahoma firefighters, many of the services that are provided to individuals and families affected by neuromuscular

disease would not exist. Burlington Fire and Rescue was happy to participate in the Fill-the-Boot campaign.

Last year Dalton and Bayli attended the MDA telethon and raised $4,000 while this year an art auction was held that raised over $12,500. This year Dalton is scheduled to present almost $14,000 to the MDA telethon. (Art Auction and Fill-the Boot) The 2011 MDA Labor Day Telethon will be broadcast on Sunday night, September 4, from 6 p.m. to midnight. Dalton is scheduled to present his check at the KAKEland Studios at 7:40 p.m.

Robert and Bayli Hyde with Dalton Black in the firetruck are looking forward to participating in the MDA Telethon on Labor Day weekend.

By Roger McKenzie Alfalfa County’s financial statement for 2010-11 and an estimate of needs for 2011-12 were approved at Monday’s county commissioners’ meeting. Also highlighted were a new fire truck for Burlington and some alterations in the seismic testing to be done in the fall.

“The great thing is nothing’s changed.”

Those words by Buddy Carroll, the certified public accountant who prepares the county’s annual budget, referred back to Friday’s special meeting of the commissioners when he presented the financial statement for the past fiscal year and the draft of the estimate of needs for the current fiscal year.

Nothing changed between the draft and the final documents which were approved Monday.

Carroll noted the county benefited from new revenues, primarily from oil and gas exploration and its impact. The extra unanticipated revenue provided the county with a fund balance, or carryover, of about $500,000 heading into the new budget year.

However, Carroll said he did not need to use the carryover in meeting the new estimate of needs for 2011-12 which totaled almost $1.5 million. That total gives increases in many categories, since last year’s estimate of needs totaled about $1.2 million. Despite those increases requested by the county officers, Carroll

said he was able to fulfill all but $2,000 of the 2011-12 estimate of needs using only ad valorem taxes and other estimated revenues.

Since he didn’t have to use the fund balance to reach the estimate of needs total, the county will have a nice cushion in its budget this year. However, Carroll urged the commissioners to be conservative because at some point the extra energy boom revenues will end.

Robert Hyde told the commissioners that the old truck in need of replacement could get to a top speed of 50 miles per hour only going downhill. The long wheelbase truck is also not suitable for some terrain. He requested the county seek bids on a new tanker truck for Burlington Fire and Rescue. Money which has been set aside in Burlington’s account will be used. The commissioners agreed to have the county clerk advertise for bids for the truck, according to the specifications supplied by the firemen.

Rick Boyd, with Gateway Permit Services, the company which will be doing seismic testing this fall, appeared to say his company had run into problems using no-till plots and some hunting areas. For those problem areas the company sought permission to drill 40-foot holes and use blasting caps. He also asked for the commissioners to allow a vibrating method on some county roads.

He promised to give commissioners notice of were and when roads would

be used and he promised that disruption would be kept to a minimum. He also had a contract for the commissioners to allow testing on a tract owned by the county.

Commissioners approved his requests.

A total of seven road crossing permit requests were approved—six for District 1 and two for District 3. Atlas Pipeline’s five requests for District 1 crossings topped the list. The other District 1 request came from Select Energy. Two District 3 requests were each made by SemGas. The commissioners also approve a private property access agreement and opened one lone bid for administering the community development block grant the county received for making the courthouse more handicapped accessible.

A request for bids made to three sources earlier had to be redone because two of the sources turned out not to be certified. The bids were sought again, and this time one lone bid was received. It came from Grant Essentials of Braman.

The bid called for an administration fee not to exceed $2,928.

However, the bid was rejected in favor of letting the Northern Oklahoma Development Authority administer the grant. The county is a member of NODA and, as such can request NODA’s guidance.

The commissioners also gave the county clerk permission to compile a list of county surplus equipment and seek bids from to select an auction company to conduct an upcoming county auction.

The date for the auction has not yet been set.

In routine business, the commissioners approved minutes, maintenance and operations warrants, and blanket purchase orders.

Alfalfa County can expect a nice cushion in this year’s budget
