From chickens to oil boom discussion for Kiowa City Council

By Yvonne Miller Kiowa’s City Council met Monday night for their April meeting with all members present: Mayor Brandon Farney, Bill Watson, Brian Hill, Russell Molz, Brandon Poland and Mark Lambert. City Administrator Nathan Law, City Attorney Laurel McClellan and City Clerk Marlo Rugg also sat at the table.

Mayor Farney congratulated Administrator Law on becoming the father of twins Friday.

Law said his wife Rae deserves all the credit because the twins, Edith Charlotte and Emerson Dale, together weighed over 14 pounds.

The meeting opened with Kiowa resident Neva Calhoun speaking during the public agenda. Residing at 416 N. 7th St., Neva said she has five baby chicks on her property. She spent $87 to build a fence for the chickens.

Then she received a letter from the City of Kiowa that the chickens are not allowed in town.

“I can stand in my back yard and hear roosters,” Neva said. “Am I being singled out?”

In 1998 she moved to Kiowa from Scottsdale, Ariz., where she was allowed to have chickens, Neva said. She added that she keeps chickens in the pen and said, “I am not a messy person.”

Law told about some boundary lines in town where livestock is prohibited.

Neva mentioned a Kansas law that she believes applies to her since she raises the chickens for food. Law and McClellan are to look into the matter further. No council decision was made on the question.

Later in the meeting under council items, Molz said he’s received complaints from people asking why the or-

dinances regarding old vehicles parked along the street are not enforced.

Barber County Group Effort for Oil Boom Preparedness Following a meeting February 3 of area community leaders regarding how to handle the oil boom in the county, a working committee was established.

Kiowa’s Council agreed to join the Barber County Commissioners and the City of Medicine Lodge in a county wide effort.

Council authorized Mayor Farney to sign Resolution No. 251. This authorizes formation of a working committee and execution of a Memorandum of Understanding between Barber County, Medicine Lodge and Kiowa.

The memorandum establishes a working committee for the purpose of working with oil, gas and energy comSee Kiowa Page 35

Slowed down but didn’t stop

By Marione Martin Just before midnight on April 13, Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Deputy Blake Trekell noticed a vehicle that failed to stop at an intersection. Trekell was sitting stationary in the northbound shoulder of Highway 64 just south of the junction with Highway 11 to the north of Cherokee. According to documents on file, he saw the vehicle approaching from the east and slowing considerably before reaching the stop sign, but it did not stop.

Trekell followed the vehicle west and saw the driver was struggling to main-

tain the lane, traveling left of center then over the fog line on the right. After pulling over the vehicle, he talked with the driver, Elizabeth Susan Kennedy, 46, of Alva. She produced her driver’s license, but when he ran it later, he learned it had been revoked.

Trekell noticed an odor of alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle.

When he asked Kennedy to have a seat in his vehicle, she had to use both her car

and the patrol vehicle for balance. When he asked if she had consumed any alcoholic beverages recently, she said she had one mixed drink at lunch. Kennedy performed poorly on the standardized field sobriety test. She gave permission for the state’s test and had blood drawn.

On May 8 in Alfalfa County District Court, Kennedy was charged with DUI felony, driving while license under suspension and failure to stop at a stop sign.

Postal service proposes reduced hours at smaller post offices

By Marione Martin After taking a battering on Capitol Hill and from rural residents for its handling of rural post office closings, the U.S. Postal Service is offering a chance to keep the offices open. They had earlier proposed the closing of 3,700 unprofitable post offices.

Many offices in the Newsgram cov-

erage area are listed for proposed cuts.

Resignations and hiring at South Barber; Commissioner Harbaugh speaks

By Yvonne Miller At Monday night’s meeting of the South Barber Board of Education were several resignations and teacher hirings.

High School Principal Fred Gillig submitted his resignation, which the board took their time accepting with regret. At first no one would make a motion and the board laughed, saying “motion failed.” Several board members said they were “sad” to let Gillig leave. Finally all seven board members approved his resignation unanimously.

Gillig was South Barber’s high school ag instructor and FFA Chapter Advisor 30 years before becoming principal the last three years. At high school graduation Sunday, the seniors recognized him as a mentor and key to the success and development of student leaders.

Referring to his excellent job as FFA Advisor, the seniors honoring him said Gillig is not only known and respected in the South Barber communities, but statewide.

“People recognize the name Fred Gillig,” Class President Clarissa Murphy said.

Other resignations included Jill Daughhetee as instrumental music teacher, but she will return to South Barber next fall.

Barb King of Hardtner resigned as longtime high school secretary.

Diana Albright of Harper received board approval as the new sixth grade teacher for 2012-13. She joined the el-

ementary staff mid-year this spring as a part-time teacher and para-professional.

Industrial Arts teacher Tim Rector will be the new head football coach for the Chieftains at SBHS. He has coached junior high sports at South Barber many years.

Elementary Roof, Drug Policy, Mascot and More Board President Kent Swartz presided over the meeting with all members present: Jeff Black, Deborah Helfrich, Bob Schrock, Dana Roark, Janet Robison and Mike Anderson. Superintendent Brad Morris and board clerk Julie Johnson also sat at the table.

Before accepting the hirings and resignations, the board held 40 minutes of executive session to discuss non-elected personnel.

Superintendent Morris said the P1 Group came and again walked through the elementary building, conducted interviews with Cantrell, custodians and others for the already-approved project of making improvements to that building.

P1 recommends installing a new roof first. The board approved having P1 seek bids for the roof.

Morris told of a few maintenance issues at the senior/junior high buildings.

He said state school finances are “still up in the air” with the Kansas Legislature.

Other board action included: •Eliminating vacation pay for secretaries who are on duty for 10 months.

This is according to board policy – Arti-

cle XIV – Rules and Regulations regarding non-certified personnel.

•Approved payment of current bills totaling $361,804.

•Board reviewed requirements and approved installation of surveillance cameras for the daycare area at the elementary building.

PK-6 Principal Marcia Cantrell reported on site council. She told the board site council would be happy to answer additional questions regarded sources they used to create the drug policy for South Barber.

The board will address the proposed drug policy at the June meeting.

Cantrell also reported that site council had discussed the junior high mascot and colors. Part of the discussion regarded available football helmet sizes and color. The board will hear that discussion at the June meeting.

County Commissioner Paul Harbaugh on Oil and Gas Tax Revenue Barber County Commissioner Paul Harbaugh spoke during the public recognition portion of the meeting. He wanted to update the board on what’s going on with oil and gas evaluation issues. The bottom line is how it affects tax revenue to the county and ultimately to USD 255 in this case.

Harbaugh said it is a complicated matter. He said that basically the way the Kansas Property Evaluations Department does evaluations needs to be updated. Especially the formula that involves the costs of the slick water fracs which is expensive. This changes the value of the wells.

He said that the ever-increasing cost of drilling wells used to be spread over a period of years. Now oil companies are trying to recoup their rising expenses in a few years.

In 2010 Woolsey Energy Corporation took Barber County to court, Harbaugh said. The ruling finally came April 20, 2012. The Court of Tax Appeals ruled in favor of Woolsey on 23 of the 26 wells in question, Harbaugh said,.

Harbaugh said Barber County has already filed an appeal to this ruling.

Oil and gas companies are waiting See S.

Lynn Says

Chesapeake Rep urges Airport Board to consider CNG Fueling Station

By Lynn L. Martin About once a month for the last several months, someone has appeared at the Alva Airport board meeting asking about the possibility of constructing a CNG Refueling station on airport land.

This month, James Roller from Chesapeake Energy told the board that while Chesapeake itself is not interested in building a CNG facility, they sure would like to have one available to help refuel the fleet of trucks they have in the Alva area.

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is becoming a popular fuel as more truck

manufacturers are adding it to engine options on their larger trucks.

The main push for CNG is that it costs about 80% less than gasoline. We would all like to save that kind of money.

When Roller spoke to the Alva airport board, he noted two things are very right to consider such a project: one, a very high quality natural gas line passes right beside the airport property; and second, there is a big gap in the location of CNG refueling stations and Alva is perfectly located to fill that gap.

CNG stations are located in Guymon, Woodward, Enid, Fairview and Waynoka. Apparently the city of Norman recently completed one near the west edge of town at Lindsey and I-35.

Roller expressed the belief that it’s the right time and right location for such a refueling station in Alva.

City Manager Joe Don Dunham and Mayor Arden Chaffee were at the meeting. They both indicated interested in CNG fueled vehicles for the City of Alva if local refueling were available.

They mentioned specifically garbage trucks.

Rumors of a CNG refueling station to be installed somewhere north of Alva abound, but several at the airport meeting said they heard it was to be privately owned and privately used.

Also, the natural gas lines north of Alva are not nearly as appropriate as the one near the airport.

Several weeks ago, I asked Ronnie Truelock, manager of the Alva Farmer’s Co-op about adding CNG refueling to their services. He said they investigated the idea when the new diesel and

gasoline fuel station was constructed downtown this past year. He said the added insurance costs in downtown Alva were just too expensive.

I took a look around the internet on the CNG topic and found one web site where the owners are peddling CNG conversion kits. Here’s their list of advantages for using their product.

• OIL FREE - Natural gas is produced in the USA • SAVE - Costs up to 80% less than gasoline • CLEAN - Fewer emissions save the environment • SAFE - CNG kits and cylinders built to ISO or DOT safety standards • EASY - Filling your car is nearly as fast and easy • CONVENIENT - Bi-fuel system - Change to gasoline with the flip of a switch even while driving • VERSATILE -Any make, model, year, engine, carburetor or fuel-injected, gasoline or diesel I’m not convinced that Alva Airport Authority can legally operate a CNG facility themselves as the FAA is pretty restrictive as to what can be done with the land donated by the government to the City. The easy way to say it is any enterprise permitted on airport property has to be aviation related. With that said, the fairgrounds, the VFW and the State Highway Department are located on airport property and none of them are aviation related.

Also, I would say the airport should not attempt to manage such a facility.

Instead, lease the land and make their money that way .... if the FAA agrees.

Kiowa Council approves zoning change request for new business

By Yvonne Miller At 7:30 a.m., last Wednesday, Kiowa’s City Council held a brief special meeting.

The council approved a zoning change at 303 N. Seventh Street, Kiowa, Kan., from residential to commercial. This was at the recommendation of Kiowa’s Planning Commission. Passage of Ordinance No. 394 made it official.

The change is at the request of Cammi Hostetler and Kelly Thurman. They are constructing a 60 X 100 foot metal building on that lot that will house Cammi’s CH Dance and also a fitness center.

The owners want construction to begin ASAP so the building will be ready by Labor Day so dances classes can begin. The fitness center will accommodate many ages and be open year round.

More details about this business venture ran in the Newsgram a few weeks ago.

panies to prepare for, in a mutually beneficial manner, the potential rapid increase of people, commerce, traffic and all the related needs for services.

The committee is comprised of Medicine Lodge and Kiowa mayors and city administrators, one county commissioner, chairman of Barber County Development and executive director of Barber County Development, Inc. The cost associated with this working group is $30,000. The funding is to procure the services of professionals capable of assisting the local jurisdictions in planning for viable economic development.

The Barber County Commissioners committed $15,000 and Medicine Lodge gave $7,500. Kiowa’s share of $7,500 received council approval in a vote of 4-1.

Hill voted against. Before the vote, Hill and Molz both questioned the worth of “professional” companies to be hired for this effort.

Molz said, “You can talk about it or do it.” He mentioned the effort of the City of Anthony putting in a trailer park early on as oil workers arrived. “They are doing – not just talking about it.”

Poland recommended the countywide effort that can mutually benefit all involved.

Special Meeting Set to Hear Zoning Change Request The Planning Commission recommended that the council approve a zoning change request from residential to commercial. The request is from Cammi Hostetler and Kelly Thurman to have a metal building constructed at the northwest corner of 7th Street and Rumsey (across the street to the north from the Congregational Church). The building will house CH Dance Productions and a fitness center. Details are in a separate story in the Newsgram.

Council set the special meeting for Thursday, May 10, at 7:30 a.m.

Theater Project Update Poland asked the status of the Chief

Theater improvement project. Since Jim Molz gave $90,000 for a new projector, Poland asked if it had yet been purchased.

Law said the leaking roof is an issue that needs to be addressed before the new projector is installed.

Poland said he would like to see the project move forward. Council wants to see volunteers and others work together to ensure this project stays on track.

More Kiowa Council Business City employee summer hour schedule (7 a.m. - 4 p.m.) will enable them to work in cooler temperatures. This means trash pickup will be a little earlier on scheduled days.

City seeks lifeguards for the pool.

Council approved the mayor’s annual appointments for the city: Judge, Jon Von Achen; Treasurer, Rex Zimmerman; Prosecuting Attorney, Laurel McClellan; and City Clerk, Marlo Rugg.

Mayor Farney said the police chief position will remain vacant until council’s next regular meeting. The council held a special meeting last week to interview Police Chief candidates in executive session with no action taken.

Law and council discussed the city’s emergency weather response. Since recent storms, Law said questions arose about details.

Law assured that the city has excellent storm coverage and emergency procedures with trained storm spotters and sirens. He said tornado warning

sirens do not sound in Kiowa unless imminent danger (a twister sited on the ground a few miles from town) is announced through the storm spotters working with the Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement.

The administrator said staff is working on an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). This puts documentation in place for emergencies. This establishes rules and procedures for addressing emergencies and helps educate the public about the city policy regarding emergencies. An EOP will be presented at the next council meeting.

The council approved Mayor Farney’s appointment of Law to serve as Kiowa’s representative on the Barber County Solid Waste Committee.

May marks the city’s annual renewal for insurance. The renewal cost for 2012-13 is $49,041. That’s an increase of $3,771 over last year, an 8.33% increase.

The insurance provider dropped insurance coverage for the shooting range because of lack of safety controls at the range. To again be insured, the city would have to surround the area with a fence and locked gate. Users would have to sign a waiver.

If the city does not make those improvements to the shooting range or lease it to a local hunting or shooting range operator it will have to be closed.

Farney said the shooting range is used a lot. Council is considering options.

History to come alive at Santa Fe Depot Waynoka’s transportation history is coming to life at the Santa Fe Depot where the Waynoka Historical Society will present four characters from the past on Saturday, May 18, at 1:30 p.m.

The performance, which is oral history presented in the form of a Chautauqua, is part of the special programming in connection with the Smithsonian exhibit, Key Ingredients, at the Depot. Wayne Lamunyun, Sharon Kopriva, Susan Bradford and Steve Nutter assume the roles from history.

The story of Fred Harvey begins when he came to America from London as a boy of 15 and began his career in the food industry as a dishwasher in New York City. Working through the ranks. he became the ‘father of tourism’ when he established eating houses in the west.

Wayne Lamunyun will portray Fred Harvey, recounting his building of an empire in America.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh and her most-famous-man-in-the-world husband, aviator Charles Lindbergh, were overnight guests and diners at

the Waynoka Harvey House more than once in the days of coast-to-coast travel by plane and train, arriving in Lindbergh’s private plane at the TAT Airport north of town. Sharon Kopriva, a Waynoka resident who is originally from Worcester, Mass., will portray Mrs. Lindbergh, who wrote extensively about her travels.

Helen Tisue Chapman was born in Waynoka, and wanted to become a Harvey Girl. Her dream came true, and it was a great life-long memory for her to have seen the rich and famous entering the door at the Harvey House.

She was interviewed many years ago.

Her story is retold by Susan Bradford at the Chautauqua.

Harvey chef Leo Ellis was interviewed at his home in Alva after his retirement. He was trained in Topeka, and was working in Dodge City when he was sent to be the chef at the Harvey House in Waynoka. Chef Ellis will be portrayed by veteran actor Steve Nutter, who teaches science at Waynoka High School and has played many roles for Act I Theatre in Alva.

Chautauqua is a form of entertainment that was popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in rural communities. It brought education, culture and entertainment to geographically isolated farming and ranching communities. When radio and movies became available, and the automobile, people could take advantage of more opportunities, The Chautauqua has been revived as a unique way to share history with today’s population.

There is no charge for admission to the program. Upcoming events on Saturdays will be 4-H Club Day on May 26, Clara Miller Day on June 2, and “Ruby Pearl” presented by Judy Ferguson on June 9, the closing day of the Smithson exhibit in Waynoka.

Sharon Kopriva will portray Anne Morrow Lindbergh at the Waynoka Chautauqua on Saturday afternoon, May 19, at the Waynoka Santa Fe Depot.

Yellowhouse excavator bid approved by Alfalfa commissioners

By Roger McKenzie Alfalfa County commissioners opened four bids for an excavator (or trackhoe) and selected the bid from Yellowhouse of Enid for $177,750. The money is coming from interest earned on road money. District 2 will get the new John Deere machine, although all three districts share these big machines when the need arises.

The low bid belonged to KirbySmith Machinery of Oklahoma City.

Its Komatsu machine cost $147 less, and was the same weight, which District 2 Commissioner Chad Roach said was important. But counting against it was its slightly smaller horsepower (149 vs 159 for John Deere’s model).

A minimum 159 horsepower was part the bid specifications based on previous experience. Also mentioned later in the meeting as helping the Enid company was its closeness in case repairs or parts were needed.

The other two bidders, Oklahoma City’s Warren Cat and G W Van Keppel Company, submitted respective bids of $198,950 (for a Caterpillar model) and $190,500 (for a Volvo model).

Beavers got some attention from the commissioners, who signed a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service-Wildlife Services (USDA-APHIS-WS). The agreement provides the county with wildlife damage management for those

instances when wildlife (such as beavers) cause damage detrimental to the county and agricultural resources. It boils down to removing or eradicating the damage caused by wildlife.

Also approved was a resolution to dispose of electronic items for District 1. The items include a Dell computer, monitor, and keyboard; a Hewlett Packard printer, a Ricoh copier, Relm radios, and a Powergistic computer.

New employees Last Monday’s meeting introduced two new county employees. Kelsy Stein is the new secretary in the commissioners’ office in the courthouse.

Helping her is assistant secretary Tasha Moore. Outgoing secretary Phoebe Angle will continue to be available as needed while the new employees settle in.

After several weeks of routine numbers of road crossing permits, the numbers jumped again. Thirty-four permits were approved, generating fees of $37,250 for the county. Most of them were for District 1, which had 23 permits (for $26,750 in fees). District 2 had five permits (for $7,500). District 3 had six permits (for $3,000).

Tougher wording of crossing specs District 1 Commissioner Doug Murrow was responsible for an agenda item concerning some road crossings—the ones that go on top of unpaved roads.

He requested an amendment be made to put in writing what is already being asked of companies making those crossings—that the companies cover their equipment that protects watercarrying lines with a full load of rock to ease the crossing of those lines by traffic. Sometimes a full load – 25 tons

of rock – is not used. The new wording will not change anything already expected, but it will put the companies on notice that they need to use a full load of rock. The amendment passed.

Downward trend in bridge money The monthly appropriations figures approved Monday show a drop in an important category – money the county gets from the state that it uses for bridges. While sales tax figures are rising, the monthly total of $24,575 that went to bridge funding is down from figures that reached as high as $30,000 in the past year. The commissioners budgeted for their five-year bridge plan using what they thought was a conservative $28,000 per month. If the current trend holds, funding the full slate of bridge projects may not be possible.

New emergency plan approved The new Alfalfa County Emergency Operations Plan was approved. The plan put in place supersedes the previous plan and addresses four specific areas of emergency operations – mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.

Prior to the county’s move to adopt the new plan, it had been looked at and received approval from the Oklahoma Department of Civil Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. It will be revised and updated as needed.

In more routine business, the commissioners approved minutes of their previous meeting, blanket purchase orders, maintenance and operations warrants, appropriations, the alcoholic beverage tax report, highway consumables, maximum highway expenditures, and miscellaneous officers’ reports.

S. Barber

until the last minute to file appeals, Harbaugh said. Those late filings then still have to be evaluated by the county appraiser.

It’s those delays that are forcing a decrease in revenue to the county, schools, hospital, townships, etc., Harbaugh said.

For this year USD 255 will receive $842,114 tax revenue in their second half payment for the year, Harbaugh said. That’s a shortfall of about $168,000 to what they should get because of the appeals, the commissioner said.

Harbaugh reminded the council that South Barber’s School District valua-

tion almost doubled in one year due to oil and gas revenue. “That’s the whole thing,” he said. “The state wants to get some of that money back.”

Student Accomplishments and End of Year Updates Many student accomplishments during this busy end of year season are already reported – some are not.

One of those is State Forensics results. South Barber students who earned medals at state were: Brooke Murphy, second in Humorous Solo Act; Brooke Murphy and Samantha Fulcher, sixth in IDA; Naicee Gugelmeyer, fifth in Prose.

Overall the forensics team placed sixth of 42 teams.

Jace Thurman, a junior, was the Boys Singles Champion at Regional Tennis over the seven schools participating. He then placed eighth in singles at State in the 3-2-1 A Division.

At Regional Tennis, the doubles team of Conner Black and Blake Wagenbach placed third and qualified for state.

Elementary students are in the middle of field trips and other fun, educational end of the year activities. The last day of school is Friday.
