Child abuse charges to be dismissed
By Julie Whiteman Child abuse charges against Wade Arnold and Christina Crowley are expected to be dismissed in Woods County this week when two of the prosecution’s lead witnesses submitted reports that injuries to Crowley’s son were accidental. In January of 2008 Crowley and her live-in boyfriend, Arnold, rushed Crowley’s two-year-old son, Logan Stewart, to Share Medical Center with blunt force trauma to the head. Stewart was mediflighted to OU Children’s Hospital in Oklahoma City where he slipped into a coma. Although Stewart recovered from the coma, he has not recovered from his injuries and remains in a long-term care facility for children. He is unable to walk or talk. At the time of the incident, Share Hospital officials notified law enforcement officials that the child had suffered
severe “non-accidental” head injuries while at his residence in Alva. In his report Dr. James Colvert Jr. of Share Medical Center diagnosed the child’s injuries as “severe blunt force trauma to the head” and stated that he believed it was “non-accidental and caused as a result of a severe blow to the head.” A report by Dr. Gormley of OU Medical Center who had examined Stewart, agreed with Colvert’s findings. Dr. Gormley told the OSBI that in his expert opinion, the injuries were the result of child abuse within a three to four hour period prior to his being brought to the hospital in Alva. He also reported “chronic” injuries, indicating abuse over a period of time. As a result of those reports, formal charges of child abuse were filed by the
Woods County District Attorney’s office. At that time however, reports by two of the lead physicians in Stewart’s case, a neurosurgeon and a pediatric intensivist were unavailable. When those reports were finally made available to the District Attorney’s office, they contradicted previous reports. “We have the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt,” Assistant District Attorney Westline Ritter said. “We received exculpatory evidence in this case, which is evidence that shows the defendant may not have committed this crime. We received statements from two of our own witnesses stating the injury was accidental blunt-force trauma. As we are required to disclose all findings with the defense, the charges are expected to be dismissed as the result of that.”
Fall from crow’s nest kills oilfield worker By Helen Barrett Woods County Deputy Adam Honeyman responded to an oil rig located just east of the intersection of County Roads 490 and McClain at 3 p.m. on April 21 to investigate a fatality accident. Upon arrival, Honeyman found Alva EMTs Julie Dennis and Gail Swallow as well, Alva Firefighters Cris Myer and Devon Cushenbery, OHP Trooper Randy McCullough all attempting to ad-
minister medical aid to Martin A. Kern, 39, of Enid. Kern was employed by D.B Drilling Co. Honeyman said witnesses at the scene said Kern was on the catwalk or crow’s nest about 50 feet above the floor of the rig tripping pipe. The supervisor at the rig said Kern had unhooked his safety harness to lean out for a piece of See Fall Page 19

Two long time teachers, both administrators leaving Freedom Public School By Roger McKenzie The agenda for Monday night’s meeting of the Freedom School Board was brief. If not for an executive session to discuss continuing the contracts of certified personnel, it would have been brief in length as well. However, the final five minutes of the meeting made it far from routine. In those five minutes, the board accepted the resignations or retirements of four key personnel—two long-time teachers with 80 combined years of experience in the Freedom School District and its only two administrators. The departures will drastically change the educational landscape in Freedom next year. In a simple statement read to the board, Superintendent Richard Gleave read letters of resignation from first and second grade teacher Rita Melkus and high school math teacher Julia Russell. Then he announced the resignations of his wife, Freedom Principal Charla Gleave, and himself. Melkus is retiring after 46 years in Freedom. Russell has been in Freedom 34 years. Richard and Charla Gleave have been at Freedom for three years. The superintendent noted he would be retiring for personal and health reasons. The departures were accepted by the board. The executive session lasted over an hour and a half. When it ended and the board was back in open session, the
board approved rehiring all 12 certified personnel, including Melkus and Russell. But the approval was made prior to the announcement of the retirements and resignations. Terry Aiken, Debra Bixler, Gary Curtis, Courtney Hargis, Sharon Harper, Anthony Lovelace, Ryan Penner, Katie Strehl, Bryant Weber and Jeanne Weber will have their contracts extended through the 2012-13 school year. A calendar for that school year, based on continuing the current fourday school week, was also approved. It will be a day (seven hours) longer than the current school year. After professional days for teachers on Aug. 8-9, the first day of class is set for Aug. 13. Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks are set for Nov. 21-23 and Dec. 24-31, respectively. The last day of school will be May 23 (2013). The length of the 2012-13 school year as approved is 152 days of school plus five professional days, or 1099 hours. The state department of education requires 1080 hours. Seven 55-minute classes will make for a class day that that starts at 8:15 a.m. and ends at 3:45 p.m. A busy list of events winding down the school year marked the reports of both Principal Gleave and the superintendent. Supt. Gleave noted that the accreditation officer visited the school and Freedom Public School is fully accredited. The only deficiency, regarding board member points, will be ad-
dressed, he noted. The superintendent said he would meet with a representative of vocational rehabilitation on Friday. “We will meet to discuss our partnership to help provide summer jobs for some of our students,” he said. He also noted that construction of the school’s new greenhouse, made possible through a donation by Cargill, will begin as soon as Mr. Weber returns from the senior trip. In her report, Principal Gleave thanked the Junior Class, sponsors and parents for an “awesome Prom.” She also noted a drug search was conducted at the school by the county and no drugs were found. She noted the accomplishments of several students in athletic and academic endeavors. She also announced that Freedom will initiate a Reading Sufficiency Act program this summer for four hours a day, four days a week, for four weeks. The voluntary program will provide reading help for first through third graders. She expressed hope that as many as 10 students would be able to take advantage of this opportunity. The board approved some “housekeeping requests” by the superintendent to transfer a total of $131 in two accounts for a library magazine subscription and a panel to display senior pictures. In other business, the board approved minutes of the Mar. 26 meeting, activity fund expenditures, and the Consent Agenda. The latter includes encumbrances for the general fund, the building fund, and the child nutrition fund.

Randall resigns, calendar and audit approved at Burlington BOE meeting By Yvonne Miller Longtime teacher and Assistant Principal Aaron Randall submitted his resignation at the Burlington Board of Education meeting Monday night. The board accepted Randall’s resignation, but not without expressing thanks for his 12 years of commitment and service to the Burlington School District as math teacher, academic team coach, asst. principal, bus driver and technology expert. Superintendent Glen Elliott said Randall is moving to Vici. Board members attending the meeting were: Terry Graham, Beth Guffy, Allison Armbruster, Roger Allen and Aaron Smith. Elliott, Randall and minutes clerk Jan Hill also attended. Calendar for the 2012-13 school year received board approval. The first day of school is August 15; No School August 31.

Easter Break March 29 and April 1. Last Day of School May 17. Buddy Carroll, of Chas. W. Carroll, PA in Enid, presented the fiscal year 2010-2011 audit report. It showed underpayment to some certified employees receiving the annual teacher salary step increase due to an error when posting on the computer. Following discussion of the issue later in executive session, in open session the board approved pay-
ment to those teachers. The audit report was accepted as presented. Parents Dennis and Debbie Ross attended to discuss the possibility of their son Jon Reid concurrently attending classes at NWOSU while a BHS senior next year. Elliott said the board must first develop a policy before setting a precedent. Encumbrances, change orders, and warrants for the General, Building and Child Nutrition Funds were approved. The March Activity Fund Report was approved. After discussion, payment for unused personal days was approved at the rate of $40.00 per day for certified and full time non-certified personnel and $20.00 per day for part time non-certified personnel. Refinishing the gym floor over the summer was discussed and approved. The comprehensive local education plan was approved. Participation in the 20122013 E-rate program was approved. The Board convened in executive session at 8:35 p.m. to discuss the employment of Aliene Gosselin as paraprofessional for the remainder of the school year, sharing a speech therapy teacher with Timberlake and Cherokee for 20122013, and the resignation of Randall. Upon return to open session at 9:55 p.m., board approved employment of Gosselin and sharing a speech therapy teacher. Specification sheets for new school buses were discussed at length.
In his report to the board Superintendent Elliott said current student enrollment is 154. He reported on the District 2 OSSBA meeting at Woodward from early April. The Superintendent said final legislation regarding school finance is still ongoing. He anticipates education will not be fully funded. Elliott said Governor Fallin signed House Bill 2970 which allows for an appeals process for students not receiving a diploma under current testing standards. He said the legislation can adversely affect a school’s finances. The Principal’s report included FFA Speech and Interscholastics, Track, State Instrumental and Vocal, Academic Teams and other end of the school year activities.

Lynn Says
Windows 8 upgrades on the horizon By Lynn L. Martin It sounds like Microsoft is making an aggressive attempt to ease migrating to their next operating system. Windows upgrades have always been a pain, even when they went smoothly. I would say I spend about fourhours each time I decide to bring another computer to the latest and greatest. Probably the most interesting feature of Windows 8 will be its move to implement touch screen commands. Millions of people around the world are accustomed to flicking their finger across the screen of a smart phone to command their device. If you purchase a touch screen enabled monitor, then you’ll be able to choose that command method if you wish. Otherwise, your mouse will continue to work as always. Microsoft said they are intent on making life easier by delivering Windows 8 Upgrades Online. The most welcome news is they want to eliminate entry of the 25 digit product key necessary to activate your copy. It will be embedded in the download! Also, the Microsoft blog promises 82 percent fewer screen clicks. “Our aim in improving setup is to reduce the time from start to finish,” Microsoft’s Windows chief, Steven Sinofsky, said in a recent post on the Building Win-
dows 8 blog. Microsoft hopes to improve its upgrade process to convince the more than 450 million Windows 7 PCs capable of running Windows 8 to upgrade. Not to mention the large number of users with modern PCs running Vista and XP that may be finally willing to try a new Microsoft operating system. Upgrade all the way back to XP? Willingness to accept upgrades all the way back from XP, if true, is quite a turnaround from the meanness exhibited by Microsoft earlier when if you skipped the Vista upgrade, you couldn’t do it economically from XP. The online digital delivery is similar to what Apple did with the release of OS X Lion. If online downloads aren’t your thing, you can still purchase a Windows 8 DVD, but Microsoft is hoping more people will opt for the download option. Microsoft did not mention whether there would be a pricing difference between online downloads and physical DVD purchases of Windows 8. If you opt for online delivery, you will still be able to create a bootable thumb drive or DVD to install your new version of Windows. This might be your preference if you plan on backing up your files on another hard drive and then wiping your system to do a clean install of Windows 8. No annoying product keys If you want to take the easier way out, you can start the upgrade wizard online and then complete the move to Windows 8 on your desktop. Microsoft claims this process will be “one continuous integrated experience from beginning to end.” Even better, the easy install option doesn’t involve entering an annoying 25-digit product key to activate your copy
of Windows. Microsoft says it will embed the product key into the disk image you download during the setup process. Before you get to that point, however, the first thing Microsoft does if you start your installation online is to scan your PC to determine its compatibility with Windows 8. You can then read a simplified or detailed report on whether there are any upgrade problems with the apps and peripheral devices on your system. The compatibility scan also allows Microsoft to automatically determine which language to deliver the new OS in and whether you can support a 32- or 64-bit version. After that, Windows 8 starts downloading to your PC to complete the installation process. Once it’s ready to go, you can choose to retain your complete Windows profile including your account settings, personal files and apps, or you can choose to keep just your personal files. You could also choose to keep nothing at all and start with an empty version of Windows 8. In general, Windows 7 users will be able to retain their apps, Windows settings, user accounts and files when upgrading to Windows 8 using the simplest upgrade wizard. Vista users will be able to keep their settings, user accounts and files, while XP users will only be able to retain their user accounts and files. Microsoft has not yet admitted what their pricing will be. There is some speculation that since Apple announced their down-loadable system upgrade at $30, Microsoft might come down from their lofty $150-$200 past schedule. Don’t hold your breath. Several quotes in this piece are from an article by Ian Paul in PC World Magazine.

Gilligs pledge portion of From Page 4 oil and gas income to KDH Fall By Yvonne Miller The campaign to raise funds toward Kiowa’s new hospital got another boost – this time in the form of a proportional donation of oil and gas income. The gift is from Mick and Robbie Gillig, both lifelong Kiowans. They own a fifth generation crop and livestock farming operation in the Kiowa area. Of the couple’s first donation, Mick said, “This is approximately one percent of an oil lease, and Robbie and I pledge to give one percent of any future oil money to the foundation to meet the KDH needs in this phase of its development for continued operation.” Friends of Kiowa District Hospital and Manor Foundation, Inc. President Judy Schrock explained the “Where Community and Care Come Together” capital campaign. The campaign is designed to help implement plans to construct a new hos-
pital facility at the south end of Kiowa in southern Barber County Kansas. The Barber County Commissioners already approved $4 million in the form of tax bonds for the project. The Foundation’s campaign is to help fund the additional $2.5 and beyond needed to finance the hospital and help equip the inside. Schrock said of the Foundation’s campaign, “This is an opportunity for interested supporters to make charitable gifts that will benefit our community. The president said, “Thank you, Mick and Robbie, for taking a leadership step with your gift and pledge and for encouraging everyone to make a positive difference in the quality of life we enjoy in rural areas.” Friends of Kiowa District Hospital and Manor Foundation, Inc. is located at 810 Drumm St., Kiowa, Ks 67070.

pipe which, he said, was a common occurrence when pipe falls too far out to be easily reached with the safety harness in place. One rig hand who witnessed Kern falling and landing on the rig floor told Honeyman that a piece of pipe had fallen from where it was supposed to be and Kern was attempting to grab the pipe to put it back into place when he slipped and fell from the catwalk. A driller on the floor saw Kern hit the ground and immediately began CPR which he continued until Kern was pronounced deceased by Trooper McCullough. Jennifer Staggs, from the State Medical Examiner’s Office, determined that Kern died from injuries including a broken skull, neck, back, shoulder, ribs and blood in his lungs. Deputy Honeyman said the investigation is ongoing.

Cherokee native endows basketball scholarship at NWOSU
NWOSU Foundation and Alumni Association Attending Northwestern Oklahoma State University basketball games has kept Herb Niles, a 1954 graduate and season ticket holder, connected to the university for decades. “I don’t know how long we’ve had season tickets over there,” he said while recalling witnessing more than 25 years of Ranger basketball in Percefull Fieldhouse with his family. This year, he elevated his support of the program and tie to the university from consistent fan to scholarship donor. Niles endowed the Herb Niles Athletic Scholarship benefitting men’s and women’s basketball team members, supplementing his encouragement from the stands with backing in the classroom. Niles always envisioned giving to benefit Northwestern students through his will, but the opportunity arose for him to make a difference during his lifetime. “It was something I’d planned on doing,” he said. “I’d already talked about it as far as a will was concerned. I thought this would at least get it started.” Niles said he looks forward to seeing the results of his investment—to seeing his gift in action on campus and on the court—and hopes the endowed basketball scholarship will assist a student-athlete in real need. Originally from Cherokee, Niles chose nearby Northwestern for college. He packed up his things and moved into
the dorm, but he was close enough to home to return to work on the weekends. He graduated from Northwestern Oklahoma State University in 1954 with a degree in industrial education and a minor in math and earned his master’s degree from Western State College of Colorado in Gunnison, Colo., in 1961. He worked as an industrial arts teacher, then as a math teacher, in Wichita, Kan., and later taught math in Cherokee before fully devoting his time to farming in 1974. “We are thankful that Herb has made the decision to create a scholarship now as well as planning for something in his estate,” said Skeeter Bird, Northwestern Foundation CEO. “We have too many individuals in our community that don’t make such wise decisions and leave it up
to the courts and federal government to decide the fate of their assets after they are gone. The decision to give now allows us a chance to honor him, and it also places money in a student’s hands right when there is a tremendous need.” Full-time continuing students with a minimum 2.5 cumulative grade point average are eligible for the Herb Niles Athletic Scholarship. Applicants must be active members of the men’s or women’s basketball team and other campus organizations. The scholarship may be applied toward university-related expenses, such as tuition, fees, room, board or books. For more information about investing in Northwestern students, call Bird at 580-327-8599 or email him at aebird@ nwosu.edu.

County approves contract for new hazard mitigation plan By Roger McKenzie Alfalfa County’s hazard mitigation plan—its blueprint for what to do in emergencies—is old. It dates back to 2008. At Monday’s county commissioners meeting, a contract was approved to get the county a new, updated plan. The Northern Oklahoma Development Authority (NODA) will put the new plan together. The plan will cost $57,901.25 and take up to two years to fully implement. Cost to the county will only be $11,580.25, however, because the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is picking up $46,321 of the cost. Vicki Eggers, a planner for NODA, presented the contract to the council. Because the county cannot sign contracts for more than a year in advance, the contract will be for one year and
will be renewed if it is not completed within a year. Billing for the contract will be in three phases—50 percent when it is completed for public review and 25 percent when it is sent to FEMA for a review. Those steps should be complete within six months to a year. However, FEMA final sign-off could extend the final implementation into a second year. The final 25 percent payment for the hazard mitigation plan will be due when FEMA gives its final okay. As the county continues to work to keep its road equipment up-to-date, the commissioners approved a transfer of $250,000 in interest earned on highway and bridge funds to a cash outlay account to pay for an excavator. They also approved letting the county clerk advertise for bids for a backhoe for District 3 and to sell a 1996 Trailblazer Belly Dump. Eighteen road crossing permits requests were approved. The fees for the permits totaled $12,000. Fourteen of

the permits, totaling $8,750, were for District 1. District 3 had the other four permits, totaling $3,250. The commissioners revealed they had received an opinion from the state auditor’s office that a rule mandating a five-day wait before paying invoices has been removed. They used the ruling to again ask Court Clerk Bruce Martin to expedite payments to county vendors. Martin said that to ensure invoices are paid quickly, the bulk of purchase orders need to be received by Wednesday for payment the following week. “We need to pay our vendors on time,” said Commissioner Chad Roach. But he added, “We realize everything can’t be paid (quickly) if they come in at the last second.” In other business, the commissioners approved minutes of their previous meeting, maintenance and operations warrants, blanket purchase orders, and miscellaneous officers’ reports.

28th Pioneer Days in Kiowa this weekend, parade, bull doggin’, steer wrestlin’ New Addition – Sunday Cowboy Church in Park with KREJ Radio’s ‘Uncle Gary’ By Yvonne Miller You’ll get a glimpse of cattle herded down Main Street (that’s the plan anyway), see lots of cowboys riding horses and of course bull doggin’ and steer wrestlin’ in Kiowa, Kan., this weekend during Pioneer Days (April 27-29). If you’ve never entered the 11 a.m. Saturday morning parade to honor the Pioneers who settled this area, you’ll want to this year. The top prize is $75 then $50 and $25 for winning parade entries. Jerry McNamar will announce the parade led by Parade Marshal Raymond Randall, fondly referred to as “Chief” by everyone in these parts. The old-fashioned fun begins Friday evening at 5:30 in Progress Park. The United Methodist Men serve their traditional grilled hamburgers. While eating and visiting, enjoy listening to live music provided by John Miller and the Pioneer Band. When John performs there will undoubtedly be some entertaining surprises. The celebration began 28 years ago thanks to John Miller’s love of the cowboy way. His wife Bev surprised him on his 40th birthday by having a bunch of his friends come to Kiowa for a ropin’ and bull doggin’. The rest is history. Saturday morning activities start early at 5:30 with a hearty Pioneer Breakfast served at the Masonic Lodge Hall. Don’t miss the goodies at the Historical Society Bake Sale starting at 8:30 at the Chief Theater. Mosey further east on Main St., to the Senior Citizen Center where you’ll find a Flea
Market beginning at 9 a.m. Line up for the 11 a.m. parade in the Plum Thickett parking lot (east end of Main St.) at 10:15. Immediately following the parade, Miller said cowboys should head to his arena on the southeast edge of town to start entering the bull doggin’. He said the contest should get going around 1 p.m. Spectators are encouraged. Refreshments are served. The steer wrestlin’ is a Texas Cowboy Rodeo Association (TCRA) sanctioned event, Miller said. He expects at least 40 cowboys for the rodeo events. One of those is Stan Williamson, a two-time world champion, who is bringing steers for the event. Miller said Stan is now just over age 60 and has aspirations to make it to the National Finals Rodeo competition one more time. Miller said the best part of the weekend is getting to see lots of his old friends. “And we’re getting old. We’ve got almost a new set of players,” he said with a chuckle. Another tradition that evolved from Pioneer Days is the Reading Rodeo. His wife Bev, now retired, was a longtime elementary teacher. She said for nearly
15 years now, first graders participate in a reading program that culminates with a visit to Miller’s arena where he and his cowboy friends entertain the youngsters with rope tricks and much more. Cowboy Church Service and Team Ropin’ Sunday All are invited to a Cowboy Church service in Progress Park at 8 a.m., Sunday. Gary Moore who is known as “Uncle Gary” on KREJ, the Christian radio station in Medicine Lodge, will deliver the message. “Uncle Gary” is in the 9th year of his radio show that airs on KREJ Saturdays from noon to one. He offers Christian devotions, cowboy poetry and more on his show. He is known for his slogan, “Cowboy by choice. Christian by Grace.” The team ropin’ begins Sunday about 1 p.m., at Miller’s Arena. Miller thanks Chieftain Oil for sponsoring the parade and team ropin’ – and Val Energy, Inc. for sponsoring the steer wrestlin’. He credits Mark Johnson for helping him a lot with preparations to get the arena and more prepared for the weekend. “People are really nice,” Miller said.

Poe has 50 students in class and all of them are affiliated members of FCCLA. The Waynoka FCCLA chapter has 62 members making it the largest organization at Waynoka Schools. The chapter was honored at the Oklahoma Alumni and Associates reception where they received their award. Also at State Convention the Waynoka FCCLA chapter was recognized as a Gold Star Chapter.

Freak accident results in death at oil rig By Helen Barrett Woods County Deputy Keith Dale received a call to investigate an accidental death at an oil field site at approximately 8:49 p.m. on April 17. The deceased male was listed as Gaylon Reese Taylor, 25, Grandbury, Texas. The well site was located near the intersection of County Road 490 and Kay Road. Dale’s report states that the site appeared to be a water storage facility with a large water pit and green Pioneer water pump sitting on its bank. Two Ford pickups with “Caprock Energy Services, LLC” on the doors were also at the scene along with an ambulance and rescue truck. Firefighters Chris Morris and Derek Nusser along with EMT’s Brooke Meyer and Phoebee Bell told Dale there was a man lying beside the water pit who was dead. The EMTs had checked the body
for signs of life but had not moved the body which had a large cut on the side of the deceased’s head. Deputy Dale interviewed the workers at the scene who were employees of Caprock Energy LLC. The employees said they were preparing the “Jackson Site” for fracking, located approximately 1 mile east of the Lancaster No. 1-26H where the fatality occurred. The employees said Taylor had been sent to the Lancaster to prime the water pump. When they did not receive any water after five minutes, the employees went to check on Taylor. One employee, Walnut “Luis” Salmeron, said when they arrived at the site, they could see water spraying from a black hose flailing in the air. The report states Luis shut the pump off when he noticed the control valve was fully open. He then radioed for
others to come help look for Taylor, then left the Lancaster to pick them up and return. At about 10:18 p.m., one of the employees called Kenneth Park to say they could not find Taylor. A short time later, one of the employees saw a white shirt in the water and called for others to help. Two of the employees entered the water pit and found Taylor floating face down about one foot below the surface of the water. Dale’s report states that evidence at the scene indicated the water pressure became too great in the hose which was not secured to anything stable causing it to wave in the air. Taylor, who was not wearing a hard hat, was struck in the head by the metal end of the hose, causing him to be knocked unconscious and fall into the water pit where he apparently drowned.
Electric company employee electrocuted in Alfalfa County By Helen Barrett Daniel Katsumi Yonashiro Jr., 38, of Cushing, Okla., died after being electrocuted while Bloom Electric Company was taking down a line near the Salt Water Disposal Dutch Harbor in Alfalfa County. The Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Office received a call at 6:47 p.m. from the electric company saying an employee working for them had been electrocuted and they needed help. The caller told dispatch that they were not from around the area and were not sure where they were. The caller said he thought they were
2 miles west and 2 miles south of Cozy Curve, and they were south of where two blacktop roads met. Under sheriff Dennis Frisk decided to drive to the Lambert Road to see if he could find the company vehicle. At approximately 7 p.m. Frisk met the vehicle at CR 550 and Craig. The employees gave Frisk directions to the accident location. When Frisk arrived, OHP Trooper Rick Wallace was at the scene helping other employees do CPR on the victim. The Cherokee Ambulance transported Yonashiro to Share Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. Frisk talked with Michael Neese,
foreman with the crew, who said the crew was taking the line down and they had checked to make sure the line was dead. Neese said Yonashiro was standing on the ground while he was lowering the line. When he reached out to grab the line, it shocked him. Neese told Frisk that the line “must of had some feedback in it.” At the Share ER, Frisk was informed by the nurse that the victim died of electrocution which came through his right hand and out both of his feet. His body was taken to the Medical Examiner’s office for examination and official cause of death.
