FISD seeks decertification Woods County for its media center Fair to offer

By Roger McKenzie For the second straight year, the Freedom Public School is without a certifaied media specialist. Last year, after its media specialist resigned, Superintendent Richard Gleave submitted an application to the State Department of Education to deregulate the school’s media center. That request was turned down and the district received a deficiency on their accreditation report.

This year, the district has advertised for a certified media specialist without success. Supt. Gleave told the board that no applications had been received. Thus, he asked the school board Monday night to once again apply for Department of Education decertification of the school’s media center.

Students still have access to the media center, which is manned by a full-time assistant and the teachers who bring students to it.

Long-time encumbrance clerk Mardonna Brady, who performs numerous other assignments in the FISD office and for the school board, is leaving in September.

She has been working with Cindy Reed to ease the disruption her departure will cause. At Monday’s school board meeting, the board members also took action, designating Reed as the co-encumbrance clerk, co-alternate purchasing agent, coreceiving agent, co-minutes clerk, and cocustodian of the Child Nutrition Fund as of Aug. 30.

Freedom ISD has a total of 75 students, including one foreign exchange student. That news was part of the Principal’s Report given Monday. Principal Charla

Gleave noted the school has two students taking courses at the Northwest Technology Center and two students who are coopting to play football with the Mooreland Bearcats.

She reported 53 entrants at the recent Freedom Fun Run, and she noted some upcoming activities including student participation in the Woods County Fair, Pink Wee, and the Oklahoma State Fair.

She also mentioned the Freedom Booster Club’s Annual Golf Scramble will be held Sept. 24 at the Coldwater (Kan.) Golf and Country Club.

In his Superintendent’s Report, Supt.

Richard Gleave reported that the district will not be receiving revenue as a result the new OG&E power lines from the wind energy substation near Woodward. The lines will not come to Freedom, but will go from Woodward to Mooreland to Waynoka and Alva before continuing on to the northeast.

Northwest Fire Systems visited the school to do a routine check and provide some training, he reported. Also, an inspector is coming to Freedom Public School to inspect the school’s storm shelter and a Booster Club meeting is set for Thursday, Sept. 1 at 6 p.m. in the school cafeteria.

In other business, the Freedom School Board approved a $30 transfer from the Senior Account to the Senior Panel Account in the Activity Fund. The Consent Agenda was approved. It included minutes of the July meetings, Activity Fund expenditures and encumbrances for the General Fund and Building Fund.

Homemade Ice Cream treats Treat yourself and the family to a variety of delicious homemade ice creams at the Women’s Building Friday night, September 9, during the Woods County Fair.

Each OHCE group in the county has been asked to provide a freezer of ice cream that will be judged by three lucky people at 6:30 p.m. Following at 7, $1.00 will get you a large dish of any kind of ice cream or combination thereof! The top three favorite freezers will receive cash prizes for their group.

All profits will be given to the Woods County Home and Community Education organization to carryout their educational objectives for the year.

See you at the fair!

Lynn Says

Internet was born before today’s incoming college freshmen

By Lynn L. Martin The headline for this column comes from the Sunday Oklahoman. I spotted it while in Oklahoma City for a photo shoot and purchased a copy of the paper.

The article was based on the Beloit College Mindset List. This is a compilation of 75 points to remind the faculty that freshmen born in 1993 see the world in a vastly different way.

Some points to consider: when hearing the initials LBJ, most of us old folks think of the former President Lyndon Baines Johnson.

The incoming freshmen think of LeBron James, a basketball player. The authors said the main point they wanted to get across to professors is that today’s freshmen have never lived without the Internet. By the time these kids were able to tiptoe to reach a table top, their fingertips were brushing against keyboards

and mice. For this generation, women have always been on the Supreme Court and commanded U. S. Navy Ships. Then there’s O. J. Simpson. These students were still in diapers when the former NFL star began searching for the killers of Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

Here are some of the other landmarks on the list: What Berlin wall?

Humvees, minus the artillery, have always been available to the public.

They never “rolled down” a car window.

Michael Moore has always been angry and funny.

They have grown up with bottled water.

General Motors has always been working on an electric car.

Nelson Mandela has always been free and a force in South Africa.

Pete Rose has never played baseball.

Rap music has always been mainstream.

“Off the hook” has never had anything to do with a telephone.

Music has always been “unplugged.”

Russia has always had a multi-party political system.

Women have always been police chiefs in major cities.

They were born the year Harvard Law Review Editor Barack Obama an-

nounced he might run for office some day.

The NBA season has always gone on and on and on and on.

Eastern Airlines has never “earned their wings” in their lifetime.

Wal-Mart has always been a larger retailer than Sears and has always employed more workers than GM. Being “lame” has to do with being dumb or inarticulate, not disabled.

Wolf Blitzer has always been serving up the news on CNN. Katie Couric has always had screen cred.

Al Gore has always been running for president or thinking about it.

They never found a prize in a CocaCola “MagiCan.” When all else fails, the Prozac defense has always been a possibility.

Multigrain chips have always provided healthful junk food.

They grew up in Wayne’s World.

U2 has always been more than a spy plane.

Stadiums, rock tours and sporting events have always had corporate names.

American rock groups have always appeared in Moscow.

Commercial product placements have been the norm in films and on TV. Fox has always been a major netSee Says Page 18

Roofing disagreement South Barber gets charges against 2 track to get major

By Jim Stout A disagreement over a roofing job ended up with shots fired and charges filed in Alfalfa County District Court on an Aline homeowner and a worker for a Fairview roofer.

Charges of feloniously pointing a firearm and malicious destruction of property were filed on Khaled Said Farid, 47, of 401 Choctaw Ave., Aline, following the dispute at his residence.

Charges of malicious destruction of property were also filed on a workman, Corey Butler, 27, of Fairview.

The gun-toting Farid also filed a protective order against the rake-wielding Butler.

Undersheriff Brandon Powell arrived at the scene Aug. 20 after Farid reported to 911 dispatchers that people roofing his house were tearing it down, according to court documents filed Aug. 22.

Powell arrived to observe Farid holding a semi automatic Star .45-caliber

pistol, documents state. Powell drew his weapon and pointed it at Farid, ordering him to drop the weapon, but Farid didn’t comply until the second time Powell gave the order.

The description of the incident given

by Farid varied slightly from those of the witnesses, according to the court document, but all agree Farid fired his pistol twice, the first into the ground and the second hitting a tire on Butler’s vehicle.

According to the court document, Farid hired Terry Otwell to roof the house at an hourly rate. Otwell, in turn, hired Corey Butler, Brandon Bromlow and Brian Reeves, all four from Fairview.

Farid was not satisfied with the speed at which the work was progressing, he told Powell, and demanded that Otwell pay Butler and fire him. At that time, Butler went onto the roof and began tearing the decking off the house. Farid said he called 911 and locked himself in the house, but became fearful Butler would tear through the roof, so he retrieved the pistol and went outside. Farid said Butler came at him with the rake.

In the document, Butler said he was carrying his tools to his truck when Farid fired the shots, and two of the other three witnesses said Butler was carrying the rake while the third said Butler was dragging the rake when the first shot was fired into the ground. All three witnesses said Butler had been tearing decking from the roof.

repair, no break-in reported at SBHS

By Yvonne Miller South Barber’s Board of Education met for a very brief meeting Thursday morning to handle two business items.

One of those was accepting one of three bids for repair to the football field track at the Jr/Sr High School. Board members discussed the need for repairs at the regular August meeting. Athletic Director Steve Roberts told them some of the cracks and damage “are to the point of being dangerous.”

Board approved the bid from United Sports Systems of Wichita for $93,500.

Superintendent Morris said United will remove all lose material from the track, fill in the cracks and install Tuflite, a synthetic surface.

Morris said repairs also include all field event runways; and all new markings for the track.

Two other companies bid on the track: Beyman Sports; and Merritt Tennis and Track Systems. Morris said that with everything the board wanted done to the track, United had the lowest bid.

Board also approved a $555 price increase for purchase of two Suburbans that were approved at the regular August meeting. `Break-in’ at High School Questioned Word of a “break-in” at the high school last Wednesday night circulated and was mentioned on the scanner, Morris confirmed when asked by the Newsgram.

The superintendent said, “Administration reported NO break-in.”

He said someone teepeed a tree in front of the school – some trash and beer bottles littered the front. Morris said a ladder was left out at the back of the school from the roofing project that brings suspicion someone got on top of the roof that’s still under repair. Morris said that’s all there was to it.

Alfalfa Countians enjoying energy boom

By Roger McKenzie and Leisa Beavers The search for oil and gas shows no sign of slowing down in Alfalfa County. The energy companies leasing land and drilling for oil and gas, and the companies that help them do it, are providing an economic boom that is expanding and benefiting the county, its communities and citizens, even as the current financial crisis lingers on.

A measure of energy boom here can be seen in the growing number of road crossing permits being requested at the weekly meetings of the Alfalfa County commissioners. Road crossings in Alfalfa County recently reached a record number of 28.

“The number is expected to keep rising as long as the oil and gas boom is in this area,” District 1 Commissioner Doug Murrow said. His district has gotten most of the road crossing requests.

A road crossing permit is needed for an oil or gas company to bore underneath or trench across a road. Permit costs range from about $500 $1,500, depending on how the road is crossed.

According to County Commissioners Secretary Phoebe Angle, a rough estimate of $155,000 has been collected from road crossing fees since January.

Angle said the funds from the road crossings go into the maintenance and operating account of the commissioner in that district and can be used at that commissioners’ discretion.

The majority of the road crossings have been in Murrow’s district. He

noted, “Even though we are getting the revenue from the crossing permits, there is a great deal of damage and expense from them (oil and gas companies) tearing up the roads.”

Nancy Harmon, in the Alfalfa County Clerk’s office, notes the effect of the energy boom on that office. It is the place the energy companies come to search out land parcels and owners to lease from. Some mornings, she said, up to 10 people working for those companies are waiting in the hallway for the office to open.

Some changes to accommodate the workers have been made. Two tables that serve as work areas have been added to the clerk’s office, one in the vault where the land and transaction books are kept and one in the outer office. It has helped, but Harmon says, “Some-

times there still isn’t enough space to work.” When that happens, she notes that some latecomers find themselves standing at the counter to do their work.

Because of all the extra copying the workers have generated, the office has hired an extra part-time worker. Originally, all that worker did was make copies. In one hectic day, the copy total reached 1,012 copies in all.

Harmon said that in addition to a lot of oil and gas leases that are generated and recorded as a result of the boom, there has also been an increase in mortgage releases.

“A lot more people are paying off their mortgages as oil and gas payments are received,” Harmon said.

All the extra activities generate See Boom Page 38

Kiowa childcare applies for not for profit status Tiny Blessings daycare, also known as South Barber Community Childcare, a community owned and volunteer ran childcare organization, officially applied for their not for profit status.

This was made possible through a grant received from South Central Community Foundation (SCCF). SCCF’s mission is “Assuring a Bright Future for South Central Kansas.”

Currently, Tiny Blessings is under the Sunflower RC&D umbrella and is able to utilize the RC&D not for profit status. This has been very beneficial to the Tiny Blessings as donations are tax deductible for the donor and the group is able to apply for grants. The board chose to utilize the RC&D program’s not for profit status initially until the daycare proved successful.

When the daycare organization was formed, the community was in the midst of a crisis. There was no licensed childcare available. The daycare opened in August 2010 and currently is self-sustainable.

Due to the continued need of childcare within the community, the Board felt it was an important step to apply for their own status. For more information on Tiny Blessing please call 620-2139011. To find out more about SCCF visit their webpage at www.southcentralcommunityfoundation.com

Auditions September 11-12

The plot centers around the results of a man who brings together five of the world’s best-selling murder mystery novelists to collaborate on the ultimate plot. He wants to modernize the genre of murder mysteries and create the best television show of all time.

From bumps in the night to making

the butler perform the murder with a candlestick in the library, murder/ mystery writers have worked to make the perfect unsolvable murder for decades.

Chaos unfolds as a real murder occurs among them in “Done to Death.”

The question is, can these novelists write their way out when fiction becomes fact?

Audition for Border Line Theatre’s fall comical murder/mystery

By Yvonne Miller Border Line Theatre patrons can look forward to another fun production this fall the first two weekends of November.

But first, the cast must be selected for “Done to Death,” a comical murder mystery. If you dare enter this mysterious plot, auditions are Sunday, September 11 from 2-3 p.m., and Monday, September 12 from 7-8 p.m., at the Kiowa, Kan., Community Building.

South Barber forensics coach, English and yearbook teacher, Meagan Masters agreed to direct a Border Line production for the first time. She appeared in the production “Hoodwinked.”

Meagan said “Done to Death” involves a cast of 10, young and old, male and female.

“It’s a very humorous story,” Meagan said.

Burlington bond election Sept 13, absentee ballot deadline Sept 7

By Yvonne Miller If district patrons want to vote in Burlington School’s September 13 bond election by absentee ballot they need to start the process now.

Absentee ballot application forms are available at the County Election Board office located at 300 S. Grand Ave., Cherokee. Ballot application forms also can be downloaded and printed from the Internet at www.elections.ok.gov.

For registered district patrons wishing to vote absentee by mail, County Election Board Secretary Kelly Stein said, “At least two mail transactions must be made.” The board must mail the

ballots to the voter and the voter must return the voted ballots by mail. Ballots must be in the hands of the election board by 7 p.m., on election day in order to be counted, Stein said.

Although the election board can accept applications for absentee ballots until 5 p.m. on Wednesday, September 7, Stein urged voters who want to vote by absentee ballot to apply early.

Any registered voter from the district can vote by absentee ballot. It’s especially helpful for those who are handicapped or incapacitated, in the military, in a nursing home, etc.

The $410,000 bond issue is for transportation. Burlington Superintendent Glen Elliott said the proposal is to replace the school’s 12-year-old buses. He said if the bond issue passes the vote of the people, it will purchase four buses, a vocational-agriculture pickup and a Suburban.

Allegedly of juvenile subject

Every year the Waynoka FFA starts off with a community service project. This year’s project was cleaning up the rodeo grounds after Waynoka’s Cimarron Stampede Rodeo. On Friday morning students from the Ag classes went out and cleaned the rodeo grounds. On Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon various volunteers from the local chapter came out and helped. Waynoka FFA members participating were (back from left): Austin Long, Maria Wilcox, Hannah Darr, Layne Meriwether, Chassidee Koehn, Logan Meriwether, (front): Weston Hill, Josiah Darr, Tyrell Wilcox, Tanner Selvey, Tayler Makekau, and Michaela Zook.

By Jim Stout Charges of photographing obscene material were filed Aug. 16 in Alfalfa District Court against Marlin Monte Yoder, 39, of Burlington.

In a court affidavit, Robert Banks, investigator for the District Attorney’s office, stated that a woman brought her juvenile daughter to the Alfalfa County Courthouse to make a report.

The juvenile said she had been having a sexual relationship with Yoder since around July of 2010.

The juvenile reported times, circumstances and details of the relationship, in the affidavit and in a subsequent interview, Yoder described the same circumstances, details and times. The charges stem from their reports of taking digital photographs of sexual activity, although Yoder told Banks he had deleted the video shortly after he recorded it.

Boom

more work for the clerk’s office. It also uses up more of the special binders the office uses to store documents. Before the boom, the clerk’s office would start on a new book about once a month.

That number has doubled to about two a month.

Commissioner Toby Walker said, “The oil and gas has helped this county immensely. There has been more than one older person around here say that they are better off than they have ever been because of the oil and gas royalties.”

County Clerk Bruce Martin put it another way. “A lot of people have been healed (economically),” he said simply.

Don Bowman, Cherokee City Manager, is certainly pleased about how things are progressing for the City of Cherokee in the midst of the energy boom.

“Our biggest increase has been in the number of people living in Cherokee now,” he said.

He estimated 300-400 people are now part of Cherokee’s economy who weren’t living here at time of the 2010 census.

“A lot of them are living in the bunkhouses,” he explained. According to what he was told, Bowman said the new residents would be around for at least 3-5 years.

The bunkhouses he refers to are specialized trailers designed to house up to 10 employees, on a five on and five off

shift. Some of these bunkhouses fill the city’s RV Park. Bowman estimated they bring the city about $6,000 a month in rental revenue. The rest sit on land purchased by the energy producers in the city’s industrial development park.

Keene Energy, Nomac, and SandRidge account for over 20 bunkhouses.

Because of the boom, the city’s industrial park, which Bowman said sat pretty much vacant for 20 years, is now completely sold out. “We are now looking for ways to expand (to another industrial park),” Bowman said.

Cherokee also benefits from the boom by selling water to the energy companies. In fact, the city is in the process of having an old water well reworked so the city can sell untreated water for frac tanks. Using a well not connected to the water treatment plant saves wear and tear on the city water system. The city is also putting back four percent of total water sales to these companies to help with water system maintenance.

SandRidge, which is another of the biggest oil and gas players in Alfalfa County, purchased the old John Deere

property, fixed up the building, and added offices. Now the site is home to Chaparral Supply and Lariat Services.

Both serve the energy companies, the former with supplies and the latter with trucking services. Training services are provided there, as well.

“On some mornings, Bowman said, “there will be over 100 vehicles parked out there.”

The two new businesses there have benefited the other businesses in Cherokee—from the lumberyard to electricians to grocery stores and restaurants.

Said Bowman, “That, of course, benefits us sales tax-wise.

Two restaurants would certainly agree. The owner of Dairy Mart in Cherokee, Rick Evans, said he noticed his business pick up around Christmas.

It’s been a real good thing for us, especially when the economy has been so bad for everyone else,” he said. “These boys are big eaters. We definitely can feel the difference.”

In Ingersol, the Smok-Shak Bar-BQue Restaurant has also been helped.

“I had a good business, said owner Debra Engle,” but they (energy workers) perked it up.”

She said she can see the difference early in the morning even before the restaurant opens. “They will call at eight o’clock and want orders to go by noon for 40 or 50. We have it ready for them.”

Engle said she also does a lot of oil field catering in her two trailers. “It’s definitely been good.”

Farmers are benefiting. Cousins Ron and Darrell Wessels are both appreciative of the help people are getting here. “Younger people have jobs here with the wells and rather than having to go out of the county to find work, they have been able to stay right here and make a good living,” said Ron Wessels.

“The oil and gas production has helped the farmers tremendously,” Darrell Wessels said. “If it wasn’t for the [oil and gas] companies’ economic help to this region, the area would be very distressed. In the drought situation we are enduring, farmers are having to buy hay for livestock and have been helped by the revenue from the oil people, no doubt about it.”

How long will all this prosperity last? Bowman, who has had extensive conversations with representatives of the energy companies, estimated that the area is in the first third of the boom.

But like previous booms in other places, eventually the boom will play out.

Cherokee is trying to prepare for when that time comes by not spending the RV park money because, Bowman noted, “We know we will have to spend money on the RV park after they leave.”

Still, with more years of boom to look forward to, Alfalfa County and its people can consider themselves blessed. The energy companies and their workers have been good neighbors. Chesapeake Energy, another of the biggest energy companies in the county, recently donated a 2009 pickup truck to Cherokee, which plans to use it for park maintenance. The workers themselves have impressed people with their good behavior. It’s been such a good relationship that the city recently putting on a picnic of sorts in honor of the energy workers.

Bowman, speaking for Cherokee, but perhaps for everyone else in Alfalfa County as well, summed up the feel good situation between the two sides—

locals and visitors—by saying, “It’s been great for us, and I think we’ve been pretty good for them.”

Alfalfa County Farmer cousins Ron and Darrell Wessels are both appreciative of the help people are getting here.

“Younger people have jobs here with the wells and rather than having to go out of the county to find work, they have been able to stay right here and make a good living,” said Ron Wessels.

“The oil and gas production has helped the farmers tremendously. If it wasn’t for the [oil and gas] companies’ economic help to this region, the area would be very distressed. In the drought situation we are enduring, farmers are having to buy hay for livestock and have been helped by the revenue from the oil people, no doubt about it.”

Ron Wessels said, “There is no doubt that the dollars brought into the county by the oil boom has helped a lot of people. Younger people have jobs here with the wells and rather than having to go out of the county to find work, they have been able to stay right here and make a good living.”

Darrell Wessels said, “Yes, the oil and gas production has helped the farmers tremendously. If it wasn’t for the [oil and gas] companies economic help to this region, the area would be very distressed. In the drought situation we are enduring, farmers are having to buy hay for livestock and have been helped by the revenue from the oil people, no doubt about it.”

Plants

over 20 years and this summer and last winter by far has been the greatest horticulture challenge I have ever faced in my career,” Dr. Schnelle stated by email.

Plants will require close attention before they go into the cold months since they will be weakened and somewhat susceptible from area high temperatures and drought conditions.

Dr. Schnelle received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in horticulture at Kansas State University, Manhattan, and his PhD in horticulture at Colorado State University, Fort Collins.

The Sept. 12 presentation will be the fourth sponsored for the Alva Public Library through a grant from the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture Food and Forestry division.
