Domestic disturbance results in charges for two By Marione Martin A man arrested in a domestic disturbance later turned in the woman on drug complaints. On March 30 about 5:45 p.m. neighbors contacted the Cherokee Police about a disturbance at 504 W. Main. Officer Tyler Flaherty went to the scene and later called Chief Christopher Ferrell to assist. According to affidavits filed in the case, Flaherty encountered Jonathan Jinks who was yelling at Amber Krueger and Leslea McDonald on the front porch. He described Jinks as going from calm to agitated to hostile in short periods of time. He asked Jinks to follow him to his patrol vehicle where he talked with him. Jinks said he went to the residence to talk to Kruger. McDonald answered the door and allowed him inside. He said he found Krueger in a room alone with another man which made him angry. He said he went outside and that is when Flaherty
showed up. Officer Flaherty noted an odor of alcohol coming from Jinks who said he had one beer. Chief Ferrell arrived and watched Jinks while Flaherty went to talk with the women. Krueger said Jinks had not hurt her that day but in the past few days had choked her and made threats. Flaherty told them if Jinks returned, to call the police. He then told Jinks he was not to return and he would be trespassing if he came on the property. Ask Ferrell and Flaherty stood by their vehicles discussing the situation, they saw Jinks throwing Krueger’s property outside in the yard. They talked to him and told him to make a pile of the items so that Krueger could get them later. They told Jinks that they were leaving but would come back if he had any issues with anyone coming over and harassing him. The officers decided to stay in the area a while. Flaherty saw Jinks walk around the northeast side of his residence so he drove around the block and found him in be back yard of McDonald’s neighbor.
Jinks was placed under arrest but resisted being handcuffed. He continued to be uncooperative and rude. Johnathan Lee Jinks, 33, of Cherokee, has been charged with public intoxication, obstructing an officer and disturbing the peace. The next day, Jinks said there were illegal narcotics inside the McDonald residence. Deputy Blake Trekell went to the residence and McDonald gave her consent to a search. Several times he had to tell Amber Krueger, who was staying at the residence, to remain outside while he searched. She kept going in and out. The Cherokee Police Department called to tell Trekell a neighbor saw Krueger run out of the house with a pink purse and hide it in a red Dodge pickup in front of the residence. Trekell asked her about the purse, and Krueger went to the pickup to get it. Inside was a small black zip-up bag containing a glass pipe, two cigarette lighters, one small set of scales, See Charges Page 26

Staff planning for 2012-13 keeping CISD superintendent busy By Roger McKenzie Finishing out the current school year and planning for the 2012-13 school year are keeping Cherokee Superintendent Cory Ellis busy. He noted at Monday’s meeting of the Cherokee Public School’s Board of Education that only 27 school days remain in the current school year. He and his staff are busy with a myriad of activities as the year closes down. Prom, testing, and a special meeting to hear what the school’s auditor, Buddy Carroll, has to say about school finances are all keeping those final days of the school year busy. Just as important, however, is the work going on for next year. Ellis outlined a plan to fill anticipated employment needs that could have the district adding as many as four new positions and four unfilled positions. The former would include three instructional teachers and a full-time elementary physical education coach. The latter would allow the district to move physical education into the afternoon and increase academic instruction time in the mornings when students are more attentive. Ellis has taken into account current large enrollments in such areas as prekindergarten and third grade, as well as other anticipated growth areas and projected some needs for the upcoming year. “We could have a huge kindergarten,” Ellis told the board members, citing the large pre-kindergarten enrollment and large numbers in the Head
Start program. He said two kindergarten teachers will be required if the enrollment reaches 21 or more. Because nothing is certain at this point, he noted that the district will wait until the last minute to decide how to allocate teachers in this area. That fact, coupled with the possibility of having to move some teachers around, makes hiring teachers with multiple accreditations vital, he told the board members. Right now, music, business, and speech positions are unfilled. Because of the anticipated expansion, Ellis said, “We’re going to go in this summer and put back some temporary walls where we took them out.” He also projected two positions that he’d like to add to help improve academic success at the school. Ellis said he would like to add a fulltime administrator for the rapidly growing elementary school and an early intervention specialist in reading and math. The specialist would help improved outcomes in those areas and could be subsidized with federal funds. Time would be added into the schedule to allow students needing intervention to be pulled out of class to get the needed help. The teacher he has in mind for the intervention specialist is one of the district’s first grade teachers, so if the position is approved, another first grade teacher will have to be hired. Two second and fourth grade teachers will be needed. In addition, two positions may needed for history or social studies since Ellis is expecting an resig-
nation and a reduction in another teacher’s time. In some other areas, Supt. Ellis reported the district will resume its National Certified Teachers’ program next year, since the state has reinstated funding. The state has also made it easier for schools to allow the public to use their recreation facilities. Adult supervision will still be used, he stressed. The school’s accreditation audit has been completed and he warned the district will probably get a deficiency for not having a certified high school principal. However, the deficiency will be cured when Principal Jeremy Hickman completes current certification work. The district will also have to provide some healthier alternatives in its vending machines and make sure all bus drivers have DMV reports done. Treasurer’s and Activity reports Supt. Ellis presented the Treasurer’s Report. He noted the district is doing well, with $315,000 in the General Fund through March. Gross production revenues and sales tax revenues are up and will continue for a while, according to Ellis. The Activity Fund had enough in the appropriate account to pay for all of the seniors’ caps and gowns. The budget for Prom is on schedule. A new baseball scoreboard will be installed soon thanks to the generosity of Farmers Exchange Bank. Executive Session An executive session was held to discuss and vote on coaching and other extra duty assignments for 2012-13. All teachers currently with such assignments were approved for assignments next year, but the actual assignments were not listed. They will be decided at a later date.

Vocal teacher Carla Mitchel resigns, Kiley Feely hired By Yvonne Miller South Barber’s Board of Education met Monday night for their regular March meeting. They made changes in the vocal department and discussed the proposed drug testing policy. Board President Kent Swartz presided over the meeting with the following members present: Jeff Black, Deborah Helfrich, Dana Roark, Janet Robison and Michael Anderson. Bob Schrock was absent. Superintendent Brad Morris and board clerk Julie Johnson also sat at the board table. As K-12 vocal teacher Carla Mitchel of Alva plans to retire, she submitted her resignation which the board accepted. The board hired Kiley (Rieger) Feely, a native of Burlington, as K-12 vocal teacher for the 2012-13 school year. She and her husband Shane have three sons, two of whom attend Burlington School. They are Jackson, 2nd grade; Hudson, kindergarten; and Lincoln who is not yet in school. Kiley comes to South Barber with nine years experience after teaching music at Buffalo and Okeene. The Feelys returned to Burlington last July. Shane works for Sandridge Energy as Frac Water Resources Manager. Kiley graduated from NWOSU where she was Miss Northwestern in 2001. She was Miss Burlington in 1996 and graduated in 1997. In 2008 she was diagnosed with lymphoma and has been in remission 2 ½ years. She’s “enjoyed” staying home with
her boys and said it is perfect timing that son Lincoln starts school next fall. “I feel refreshed and ready to get back into the classroom” Kiley said. Proposed Drug Testing Policy Discussed The proposed Drug Testing Policy was presented to the board who discussed details for about 30 minutes. PK-6 Principal Marcia Cantrell is a liaison between the school board and site council. Earlier in the school year, board members directed Cantrell to work with the site council to draft a drug testing policy. Board members reviewed the draft, asking many questions and considering numerous scenarios with the proposed policy in place. Cantrell said the draft is a culmination of policies from numerous towns. Copies of the proposal are available to view at the superintendent’s office. The board said they would like some feedback from the public on this proposal. Cantrell will take the board’s questions back to the site council who meets next Monday at 5 p.m. Then the subject will again appear on the board’s May meeting agenda. Superintendent Updates on Improvements and Finance Superintendent Morris said the new Ipads arrived and Technology Director Luke McKinney is setting them up with passwords and apps. Interested board members can experiment with the Ipads a few days then they’ll go to the school
sites for teacher’s use. He said new computers are ordered to replace all elementary teacher’s computers and some at the high school. McKinney is also replacing the cad lab in the industrial technology room. Morris said computer labs throughout the district are up-to-date for the moment in the ever-changing world of technology. In the next month some aesthetic improvements will begin at the SB District Office on Main Street. That includes painting walls; new furniture in the reception area; storage cabinets in the workroom; new superintendent desk; and possibly new carpet and flooring in the workroom. “We still don’t know about our (school) finances,” Morris told the board regarding what legislators will decide. The superintendent said there are still four or five options legislators are considering. He said the Kansas State Department of Education budget is some $25 million short – due in part to higher student enrollment statewide than expected; and more at-risk money going out statewide. A good scenario would be the possible legislative option $74 increase per student for two years. A not-so-good option is a reduction of $40 per student that could affect this year’s budget. The legislature starts again April 25 to make decisions. Other SB Board Business The district calendar for the 201213 school year received approval. First Day of School, Aug 28; Parent/Teacher Conferences Nov 1 and 2 (no school on 2nd); Thanksgiving Break, Nov 21-23; Christmas Break starts Dec 20, Classes Resume Jan 3; Spring Break, March 18-22; Easter Break, Friday March 29, Monday Apr 1; Last Day of School May 17. Morris said the new calendar gives the district 1170 hours of school with seven built-in snow days. He said that’s a good cushion because a year ago they used many snow days and they were close on the number of required hours. This school year they used no snow days. Patrons will no longer be able to pay See S.

Alfalfa County to let bids for Dist. 2 excavator By Roger McKenzie A routine meeting of the Alfalfa County commissioners on Monday was short. Bids for an excavator for District 2 will be sought, after approval by the commissioners. The machine will be used for a variety of purposes such as pulling trees, digging ditches, loading trucks, and in the construction of bridges. A variety of miscellaneous items from the Alfalfa County Assessor’s office was approved to be tossed out. The items are outdated, even antiquated, not in working condition. Because of that, there will be no auction. The computers
and other electronic devices are destined to be destroyed to make sure private information is unobtainable from them. Twenty-five road crossing permits, for a total of $13,500 in fees, were approved/ District 1 had 12 for a total of $7,000. District 2 also had 12 permits, totaling $6,000. District 3 had one permit, totaling $500. In other business, the commissioners approved minutes of their previous meeting with one change. The change, proposed by Commissioner Chad Roach, struck out language that Roach felt made it appear as if the commissioners were defying the state auditor’s of-
fice when they moved to take all of an IRS late penalty from the county’s General Fund rather than split it between the General Fund and the County Road Fund. “That’s not the case,” said Roach. “We got a second opinion.” The commissioners also approved maintenance and operations warrants, blanket purchase orders, and miscellaneous officers’ reports. An agenda item listing Bud Jackson as speaking to discuss updating equipment for Carmen Rescue was not part of the meeting since Jackson made no appearance.
Alfalfa County’s Doug McMurtrey named a 2012 OSU Master Agronomist By Donald Stotts Alfalfa County’s Doug McMurtrey has been named a 2012 Master Agronomist by Oklahoma State University’s Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. The award was initiated in 1947 and recognizes Oklahoma producers who actively participate in agronomic education programs and contribute valuable public service through their efforts in soil conservation, range management or crop production.
“Doug McMurtrey has been a cooperating partner with division scientists and OSU Cooperative Extension specialists and educators for 13 years, helping to make official OSU agronomic recommendations for the area as accurate as humanly possible,” said Hailin Zhang, interim head of the OSU Department of Plant and Soil Sciences. The ability to make accurate recommendations is enhanced by OSU being able to conduct research on specific growing conditions for an area of the
state, often on the land of Oklahoma producers who donate resources for variety trials. A cow-calf producer as well as a farmer, McMurtrey’s crop production system includes wheat, grain sorghum, soybeans, alfalfa and a variety of cover crops during fallow periods. He has hosted a number of OSU grain sorghum and soybean performance trials on his operation. “Mr. McMurtrey has been a county leader in the adoption of no-till practices, and he was one of the first cooperators to allow OSU Cooperative Extension specialists to utilize the rainmaker machines to evaluate the effects of a simple raindrop and how damaging those raindrops can be when they come during a time See McMurtrey Page 38

Kiowa Council allows single wide MH’s, Main St Railroad Crossing Closed By Yvonne Miller Kiowa’s City Council met just over three hours Monday night for their regular April meeting. Topics on the twoand-a-half page agenda ranged from feral cats and emergency management preparedness, to allowing single wide manufactured homes in town at locations beyond designated trailer parks. Mayor Brandon Farney presided over the meeting with councilmen present including: Brian Hill, Russel Molz, Brandon Poland and Mark Lambert. Bill Watson was absent. City Administrator Nathan Law also sat at the table with City Attorney Laurel McClellan and City Clerk Marlo Rugg. The Railroad Crossing on the west side of Main Street closed for repairs Tuesday. BNSF said the track repairs should be complete by Thursday. Follow the detour signs to the north. To Allow or Not Allow Single Wide Manufactured Homes? The subject of whether or not to allow single wide manufactured homes to be set in locations around Kiowa other than the parks designated for them was a hot topic at the meeting. If a MH or RV needs a temporary permit it’s $50. If a MH is for permanent residency there is a standard building permit process and fee. As Law told council last meeting, the way the rules and regs are written single wides could only be in a park or campground. The administrator had several
requests to park single wides elsewhere with all the oil companies in town. Law said until council made some changes he couldn’t write those permits. Molz said, “If we turn them down repeatedly, they’ll go somewhere else – they already are.” Mayor Farney said, “The city can only benefit from the oil boom if we house ‘em and feed ‘em. That’s it.” He supports measures to make that happen. Poland was emphatic about protecting property values for when the oil boom traffic leaves the community. Lambert said he feels the restrictions “will hinder anything coming in to Kiowa.” Following lots more discussion, finally Lambert moved to approve Ordinance No. 392 which allows single wide MH in places other than parks or campgrounds. The motion almost died for lack of a second. Finally Hill seconded it. It passed with Poland casting the single no vote. Then council passed a motion to change the zoning laws to allow for the single wides. Again Poland voted against. Much More City of Kiowa Business Earlier council approved purchase of a $168,000 street sweeper to replace the old one. Both People’s Bank and First State Bank bid to finance the machine. Council accepted Option 2B from People’s Bank with Poland abstaining
since he’s an employee of that bank. The interest rate is 2.075 percent with total interest at $10,753 over the five year period with an early payoff clause. • On bowling alley demolition, Law said he’s had no response from the Colorado building owner. He advises budgeting in 2013 for the demolition process, estimated to cost from $70,000 to $145,000. Since the grant avenue failed, Law said he’ll try to get donated labor and equipment from locals. This is as the city now has the legal authority to abate this nuisance. • The bid process for the Slusher Building did not work, Law confirmed. Now they have three options: have city workers improve the building to make more attractive for sale; invest in upgrades to the building and move the police department there – and sell the existing police building in hopes the sale pays for Slusher Building improvements; or let a local realtor sell the building. • Barber County Emergency Management Director Jerry McNamar gave a 20-minute video presentation. He assured the county has a framework and is in a mutual aid agreement with other counties. Barber County is part of a regional concept (Kansas is divided in seven regions). He said in an emergency designated local leaders remain in charge, but government takes over the mountain of paperwork. “Barber County is not alone in a disaster,” McNamar assured. He urged council to continue supporting local responders with approved trainings. Law said the storm siren circuit board is damaged and being replaced.
