Local author publishes book Launches The World Tree series
Oklahoma native and one time Alva resident, H. Keith Ent, has recently published his new fantasy novel “The Green Country Adept: Book 1 of the World Tree War.” The story is of an Oklahoma man who finds that he and his family have been chosen to protect humanity from an ancient war that is once again spilling into our reality. In order to protect humanity, he’ll have to get two immortal races to agree to keep humanity out of their fight. To do that, he’s going to have to have help, and for that he’s going to have to look to myth and legend and find those that live in the World Tree, convince them to help, and survive it. Keith grew up in Carmen, Oklahoma, and with the exception
By Lynn L. Martin Trenton Percival was driving by their family land on Dacoma Road (approximately two miles west of Dacoma) about 7:30 Monday morning and looked over at the oilwell on their land and was shocked to see oil spewing out and flooding the land. He said the property is jointly owned by Cindy Percival, Neal Percival Sr., and Neal Percival Jr. The well is not a new well. Cindy said it is a tiny well that has been pumping since the late 1950's or early 1960's. The oil spill occurred when oil and salt water overflowed the tanks. The pressure had jumped from about 30 psi to 1100 psi. Vernie Percival said on
Wednesday the well owner believes fracking injections on sections of land near theirs may have caused the blow-out of this old well. The well is owned by Meadowbrook Oil of Dell City, Oklahoma. One lesson Cindy said she learned is that every land owner with a well on their property, should have in their possession the personal cell phone numbers of the owner and the pumper maintaining the well. She said, "We discovered that because the incident was found before business offices are open, we lost some time in getting it reported because we didn't have the personal cell phone numbers of the responsible people. The emergency
number posted on the sign near the site wasn't good enough at that time of day." Cindy said the owner and the pumper have provided outstanding response. They are digging up the contaminated soil, piling it on a non-permeable plastic material, and then using two different chemicals to neutralize the oil and the salt water. The missing soil will be replaced, and the firms are promising that when the recovery work is complete, the PH samples will match the PH of the nonaffected land. Percival said, "The owner said enormous progress has been made in mitigating the damage to farm land from oil spills."
Keith Ent of a brief time serving in the Army, he has lived his entire life as an Oklahoman. He lives on a farm just east of Skiatook, with his wife, three of his four kids, three cats, and two dogs. Aside from writing fiction, he also writes poetry, has a political blog (for which he tries to atone daily), and is an aspiring blacksmith. Thirteen Alva FCCLA chapter members spent two days at the Woods County Fair working in the Fair Kitchen during lunch time. The students were given the opportunity to gain valuable work experience in a commercial kitchen/restaurant setting. For their efforts, Alva FCCLA chapter will also receive a contribution which will be used in part to fund a scholarship for a 2015 FCCLA senior graduate.

Tractor issues continue By Helen Barrett After the Alva City Council delayed the purchase of a tractor by the Alva Airport Commission resulting in a $1000 increase in price, the tractor has finally been ordered. Airport Manager Greg Murray said October 2 is the estimated delivery date for the new tractor. During the meeting Monday, an agenda item added by City Manager Joe Don Dunham seemed to surprise board chairman Bob Baker. The item requested the commission acknowledge the transfer of a surplus tractor to the city of Alva. Dunham said he wanted the airport to transfer their small tractor to the city to be used in another department. Baker asked if Dunham wanted them to acknowledge or approve the transfer. Dunham said the acknowledgement would equal approval. Cory Washburn asked Dunham if the city would give the airport the $10,000 trade-in value. “You might get the salvage value of the tractor it would be replacing,” Dunham replied. The airport operates on its own income, not city tax dollars.
Therefore, all purchases are made from airport revenues. With the smaller tractor’s value established at $10,000 and, since some of the airport board previously expressed interest in keeping the smaller tractor for its own use, no consideration was given to Dunham’s request. Board members present included Baker, Washburn, Terry Turner and Gary Lehl. GPS Approach Update Murry reported information on the GPS approaches for runways 18 and 36. After contacting the F.A.A. Flight Procedures Office, Ron Sanders confirmed to Murray that the Alva Regional Airport is currently scheduled for two new RNAV (GPS) approaches as well as an amendment to the textual departure for the August 20, 2015 date. Murray said Sanders hoped to push the publication date up to June 25, 2015. Maintenance Hangar Update LA-A Insulation LLC started removing the old insulation from the maintenance hangar in preparation for the new spray-on foam insulation. The new folding door for that
hangar is expected to be completed October 13-17. It will be shipped soon after. Cost for installing the door will be $8,850 with additional sheet metal, trim, etc. to cost $2,550. PAPI Lights Libra Electric came to the airport on September 4 to install new circuit boards to repair the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) lights at the airport. Murray said the new boards required a different startup procedure. The equipment needed was to be express shipped and the technician will return to complete the repair. Rock for Equipment Building “I would like to thank Bob Baker for his generous donation of the rock for the equipment storage shed,” Murray said. Commission member Baker donated a truckload of rock to be placed under and around the new storage building to keep equipment from getting stuck in the mud during rainy seasons. Fuel Sales Fuel sales for the month of August remained strong. Sales for the month of August totaled $18,280.01
Great Plains Trail kiosk installed in Waynoka There is now a new interesting structure at the Waynoka Walking Trail. The structure is an informational kiosk about the “Cimarron Loop” of the Great Plains Trail. The Great Plains Trail is a series of 13 driving loops throughout western Oklahoma that highlights great wildlife viewing and scenic views. Waynoka and the Little Sahara State Park are part of the Cimarron Loop, which also includes the Waynoka Prairie Dog Town. The kiosk highlights the Cimarron Loop and its natural and cultural history, and includes other trail information. Great Plains Trail maps are available at the kiosk. In addition, the map and trail information can be viewed at www.greatplainstrail. com. You may also pick up maps at the Waynoka History Museum, and Little Sahara State Park. Maps can also be requested from the Oklahoma Department of Tourism and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. The Cimarron Loop is unique for not just its amazing views and history, but because of its proximity to four other Loops; the “Bats and Buffs Loop”, the “Sand Hills Loop”, the “Gloss Mountain Loop”, and the “Salt Plains Loop”. The City of Alva serves as a great base for exploring these loops. In fact, using Alva as a base town, travelers are within a short drive of four different State Parks! Great Plains Trail Maps can be picked up
at these parks, as well as other trail stops. This kiosk should grab your attention since built in the center of the structure is a “Chimney Swift Tower”. The purpose of the tower is to provide a nesting area for the chimney swift, a migratory bird that nests in Oklahoma each summer. A pair of Chimney Swifts consumes about ¼ lb. of flying insects a day. The Great Plains Trail of Oklahoma is sponsored by the Oklahoma Wildlife and Prairie Heritage Alliance and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. The kiosk was installed by the Oklahoma Wildlife and Prairie Heritage Alliance, in cooperation with The City of Waynoka and the Treasure Lake Job Corps Civilian Conservation Center. Funding for the Great Plains Trails kiosks was provided by a grant from the USDA Rural Development Grant.
This kiosk installed at the Waynoka Walking Trail is part of the Cimarron Loop of the Great Plains Trail. The kiosk also includes a chimney sweep tower.

Retired general to coordinate Iraq, Syria effort By Lolita C. Baldor WASHINGTON (AP) — Retired Marine Gen. John Allen will coordinate the broad international effort to battle the Islamic State militants, as the campaign against the extremist group ramps up and nations begin to determine what role each will play, U.S. officials said Thursday. Allen, who has been serving as a security adviser to Secretary of State John Kerry, is expected to work with the nearly 40 nations around the world who have agreed to join the fight and help them coordinate what each will contribute, several officials told The Associat-

ed Press. The officials spoke about Allen’s expected appointment on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter ahead of an announcement. Allen comes to the job with vast experience coordinating international allies on the warfront. He served as deputy commander in Iraq’s Anbar province from 2006 to 2008, working with Arab partners on organizing the Sunni uprising against al-Qaida. He moved from there to serve for two years as the deputy commander of U.S. Central Command, which oversees military troops and operations in the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia. Allen next became the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan from 2011 to 2013, where he worked with international allies who sent troops to the battlefield. As a result of his experience, Allen is very familiar many of the Middle East nations and leaders considered crucial to the latest effort to degrade and destroy the Islamic State group militants who have seized control of portions of Iraq and Syria in a ruthless reign of terror. He also has worked closely with most of the key military and diplomatic leaders, including Gen. Lloyd Austin, the current head of U.S. Central Command, who will oversee America’s military campaign. President Barack Obama announced Wednesday night that the U.S. will be expanding airstrikes in Iraq and into Syria, in an aggressive move to root out the Islamic State group extremists where ever they are. Obama, Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel have spent the last week meeting with international leaders overseas in an effort to build a broad coalition of nations — particularly Arab countries in the region — to aid the fight. Officials are looking for partners to help train moderate Syrian rebels, work with the Iraqi security forces, contribute equipment, ammunition, intelligence, logistics and funding, as well as possibly also launch airstrikes.
In My Corner
Tax evasion By Arden Chaffee Tax evasion, tax avoidance, questionable deductions: How taxpayers keep billions from the government. Nobody wants to pay more than their fair share and many think that government waste makes taxpaying a poor investment. Now we have offshore bank accounts but nothing trumps flat-out lying and since tax evasion, like shoplifting, is envisioned as a victimless crime, the problem continues to expand. There is no such thing as a victimless crime. Tax evasion, shoplifting, and other billavoidance tactics add to price increases for the rest of us. Include fraud and scamming to topoff the reasons our dollar doesn’t go as far as it once did. We have a huge cash economy and I wonder
if payroll taxes, social security, and Medicare dollars were withheld on payday? If not, that is another reason for the shaky future of entitlement programs. Infrastructure, health care, defense, firefighters, police all suffer as tax revenue is denied. Sales tax in its many iterations is under fire as internet transactions and fraudulent taxexempt purchases deprive municipalities of their revenue life blood. An article in Time Magazine claims a total of over $385 billion is withheld from government coffers annually and that doesn’t include the drug trade which is most likely sizeable. Medical and recreational marijuana is heavily taxed in those states where it is legal, but street corner sales proliferate compounding lost revenue. If, as estimated, 8.6% of our gross domestic product goes untaxed, think of the relief for the average taxpayer if parity could be restored.

The Charles Lindbergh Stories – Part 2
By Roger Hardaway In 1927 Charles Lindbergh became an American hero as the first person ever to fly an airplane non-stop from the U.S. to Europe. Two years later, the handsome Lindbergh married beautiful Anne Morrow in a newsworthy social event that united two prominent Republican political families. Lindbergh’s late father, also named Charles, had served ten years (1907-1917) in the U.S. House of Representatives from Minnesota. Morrow’s father, Dwight, was the U.S. ambassador to Mexico from 1927 to 1930 and a U.S. senator from New Jersey from 1930 until his death in 1931. Charles and Anne Lindbergh eventually had six children. Their first child was a boy named Charles Augustus, Jr., born on June 22, 1930. On March 1, 1932, when Charles Jr. was slightly more than 20 months old, he was kidnapped from the family home in New Jersey. The abduction of “the Lindbergh baby” was, of course, a huge national news story. Sadly, the baby’s body was found 10 weeks later with
his skull fractured. The police worked feverishly to solve the murder. A note found on the baby’s bedroom window sill had demanded $50,000 in ransom, and the family had paid the money. Authorities had written down the serial numbers of the ransom money, and they attempted to track down anyone who spent any of it. This led them to a German immigrant in New York City named Bruno Richard Hauptmann. The police found $14,000 of the ransom payment in his home. Hauptmann claimed that the money had belonged to a friend and business partner who had given it to Hauptmann to pay off a business debt. The friend had subsequently returned to Germany and died. Authorities did not believe Hauptmann’s story, although he maintained his innocence until the end. Hauptmann was arrested, convicted, and – on April 3, 1936 – executed. As in many high-profile criminal cases, theories abound as to whether Hauptmann was guilty or not – although the majority opinion seems to be that he was. We will look further at the life of Charles Lindbergh next week.

Don’t intrude on a relationship How to safely handle a stuck accelerator
Dear Annie: I am a 21-yearold college student. I have found someone I am really close to and would love to have a relationship with. The problem is, she is already in a relationship with someone else. We worked together for two years and became best friends. Unfortunately, she left the job to focus on school. We still talk, and I always ask myself whether I should tell her how I truly feel and risk tarnishing the friendship. Should I just be happy the way things are? -- Trouble in the Ville Dear Trouble: It is bad form to go after someone who is already attached. So our recommendation is to leave things alone and enjoy the friendship. However, should she break up with her boyfriend, that would be an OK time to express your feelings. You already understand that she may not feel the same way and the friendship could suffer as a result, but if you are both unattached, you may as well give it a try. You never know. Dear Annie: I am a senior citizen, and I have a problem with being touched. Why do people think they can greet me with a hug? Smokers ask whether you mind if they smoke, so why can't huggers ask before hugging? I don't mean to sound rude, but what can I do about this? -- Touchy Senior Citizen Dear Touchy: A great many people do not like to be hugged, especially by vague acquaintances.
When you see someone approaching with arms out, it's perfectly OK to take a step back, put your hand out and say politely, "Sorry. I'm not a hugger. But it's nice to see you." As people get to know you, they will respect your preference automatically. Please be patient. Dear Annie: I am writing in regard to the letter from "California Grandma." Grandma was displeased with the conduct of her 13-year-old granddaughter, who just graduated middle school and didn't invite her to the graduation. Grandma wanted to know whether she could revoke an offer she made to pay the girl $5,000 if she graduated high school with all B's or better. Your response, which began with, "It's your money. You can do whatever you like with it," may be legally incorrect. Grandma made an offer, and if the granddaughter accepted the offer, a valid contract was created at that moment, and Grandma can no longer revoke it. If granddaughter performs, Grandma is obligated to pay her. If she doesn't pay up, the granddaughter can sue for breach of contract. The fact that it may have been an oral contract is not the issue. In this type of scenario, oral contracts are binding. Nor is the fact that this is a minor child an issue. Minors may enter into contracts, and the right of revocation rests with the minor, not
the adult. Normally with these types of contracts, it would be Grandma's word against the granddaughter's. But Grandma just admitted making the offer in the newspaper, so the contract exists. The moral of the story is, be careful what you promise the kids. It can have binding legal ramifications. It's a good thing Grandma didn't promise her a car. -- Florida Lawyer Dear Florida: What a world. Fortunately for Grandma, letters in our column are anonymous, and there are dozens, if not thousands, of grandparents who make such promises to their grandchildren. So it's still Grandma's word against the granddaughter's that this letter came from her. Nonetheless, we don't believe Grandma should rescind the offer. It was for grades, not behavior, and she should keep her word. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Letter to the Editor
Advice for stopping the earthquakes may be as close as Colorado. I heard a story about earthquakes in Colorado that were getting worse, some years ago, and finally got bad enough to start cracking sheetrock and plaster in a lot of houses. At that time a certain facility was injecting huge amounts of wastewater deep underground. When the damage got bad, the water hit the fan and somehow the earthquakes were stopped. So perhaps the Oklahoma earthquake department could contact the Colorado earthquake department and find out the details about how they got it stopped. One thing we already learned from Colorado is that they waited too long to get the quakes stopped. The damage to businesses and houses was highly expensive to repair and insurance did not cover it. In Oklahoma the shaking is getting stronger and more frequent. The ratings already have gone past 4.0
which is the point at which property damage starts. Some people already have reported damage at below 4.0. According to the Colorado story I heard from a friend, the quakes were happening in the vicinity of Glen Arvada and Boulder, Colo. There were rumors in the area regarding what was in the water being injected and what organization was doing it. When the injection stopped, the quakes also stopped and never restarted. Colorado officials or news groups might be able to answer some of the following: 1. What did the property owners do to get the quakes stopped? 2. What did the organization do with the wastewater after they quit pumping it underground? This would be a problem in Oklahoma; what to do with the wastewater if the injection is stopped. The water
needs to go somewhere in order for some of the oil/gas wells to keep producing. 3. What government agencies cooperated in getting the Colorado quakes stopped? I have noticed a lot of stories that attempt to blame fracturing for earthquakes, but that theory does not hold water for two reasons. New wells have been fractured for many years before the Oklahoma quakes ever started. Fracturing is not a continuous injection process. The equipment moves in one day, does the job and moves out. Sometimes after a few years of production, a frac treatment may be done again on some wells to rejuvenate oil flow. I may have waited too long to suggest asking Colorado officials for information. Jack Fisher, property owner without quake insurance.
Experts note increase in respiratory virus infections in children
State and Federal Health Officials Studying Whether Illnesses Are Related to EV-D68 Oklahoma City – Experts at The Children’s Hospital at OU Medical Center are reporting an increase in the number of hospitalizations from respiratory viruses while state and national health officials are trying to identify if those illnesses are related to a virus that has sickened more than 1,000 children across the Midwest. From Aug. 1-28 this year, 115 patients have tested positive for rhinovirus/enterovirus illnesses
compared to 75 during the same time last year. Most of those patients were at The Children’s Hospital, though some were also at OU Medical Center, the adult hospital. Some of those patients were sent to the pediatric intensive care unit at Children’s. Health officials in Oklahoma are currently testing samples from Children’s patients to determine if any are Enterovirus 68, or EV-D68, a viral illness that has been identified most recently in
Missouri, where it sickened more than 300 children, sending as many as 15 percent to the intensive care unit at a pediatric hospital in Kansas City. Dr. Robert Welliver, chief of pediatric infectious diseases at The OU College of Medicine, said health care experts have been watching the activity of Enterovirus 68 for some time. “Enterovirus 68 has been present in the U.S. for some time, but at very low levels of activity. More extensive outbreaks have occurred in the Philippines and in

By Tom and Ray Magliozzi Dear Tom and Ray: I've always heard that if your accelerator sticks, you could turn the key off (not to the locked position) to kill the engine, and then gently apply the brakes and steer car to safety. But with these new push-button starters in cars now, how can you do that? My 83-year-old mom has a Chevy Cruze LTZ with a push-button ignition switch. The only way to turn off the car is to stop and put the transmission in park first, and then push the STOP/START button. Any suggestions? Why did the manufacturers stop making ignitions requiring keys, anyway? Cheaper? -- Dan RAY: What you "heard" is wrong, Dan. You should never turn off the ignition if your accelerator sticks. TOM: When you turn off the ignition, you lose your power steering and power brakes, making the car very difficult to steer or stop. RAY: Instead, shift the car into neutral and leave the ignition switch alone. The engine will keep revving, but it will no longer be moving the car. And you'll still have full use of your steering and brakes so you can safely pull over. Then you put the car in park and turn off the ignition. TOM: Some people worry that the engine will rev to the point where it will blow. We have
two responses for those people: One, modern engines are computer-controlled, and the computer won't let the engine exceed its "red line" limit. RAY: And second, if by some rare chance the engine does get damaged, so what? It's an engine. It can be fixed or replaced. If you're dead because you couldn't stop or steer the car, that's traditionally been a lot harder to fix. TOM: And by the way, the reason manufacturers have switched over to push-button stop-and-start systems is for convenience. RAY: With "keyless" ignition systems, the car checks and makes sure that the key fob is within a few feet (in the driver's pocket or pocketbook) before allowing the push button to start the car. TOM: That saves us the back-breaking work of having to find the key, insert the key and turn the key. I don't know how our ancestors managed all that. *** It's NEVER cheaper in the long run to buy a new car. Want proof?

NWOSU baseball hires two Northwestern new assistant coaches cruises to two straight shortcuts NWOSU Sports Information OKLAHOMA CITY— After a solid weekend in the Hampton Inn-vitational, Northwestern Oklahoma State rode the momentum into Tuesday afternoon’s matches with Mid-America Christian and Oklahoma Wesleyan, taking both matches in 3-0 fashion. Game One: Northwestern 3, Mid-American 0 No Rangers recorded double digit kills in the first match of the day, but several different players had more than five. The team as a whole had 36 kills and hit .329 over the course of the three sets. Northwestern started off the first game of the afternoon on a 7-0 run before giving up three points to the home team. Two other big runs by the Rangers in the first set led to a 14-point victory. MACU was able to put the first two points on the board after two Northwestern errors, but the Rangers quickly turned things around in their favor. A six-point run by the guests along with a 10-point run ultimately put the second set out of reach for the Evangels in the 25-8 game. The third and final set of the match was a little more competitive, but the rangers were able to win three consecutive points to help secure the victory. Game Two: Northwestern 3,
Oklahoma Wesleyan 0 Northwestern was able to string two solid performances together on Tuesday after a 3-0 win over MACU and another shutout against Oklahoma Wesleyan right after (25-14, 2522, 25-14). Three Ranges had 10 kills in the match, with Elisa Bentsen hitting .368, Ashanti Banks (.333) and Pipkin (.476). Suka Tafao also had a good match, assisting on 29 kills throughout the match as well as recording five kills. The afternoon for Northwestern was full of big runs, with the Rangers going on a 13-1 run after being down 4-3 early on. A couple more three point runs in the opening set for Northwestern set them apart, taking it 25-14. The Lady Eagles of OKWU started off set number two with the lead and didn’t relinquish it until the designated home team for the match went on a 5-0 run, ultimately leading them to a three-point win. After a tough fought second set, Northwestern regrouped and took care of business taking the final set of the day by an 11-point margin. Northwestern has a chance to extend its streak to three wins Thursday evening when they travel to Oklahoma City to take the court against Oklahoma City University at 6 p.m.

and bewilderment. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford got up and walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they established the university that bears their name, ‘Stanford University.’ a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.
The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no "You can easily judge the character business at Harvard and probably didn’t of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them” even deserve to be in Cambridge . — A TRUE STORY by Malcolm Forbes “We’d like to see the president,” the man said softly. “He’ll be busy all day," the secretary snapped. “We’ll wait," the lady replied.

For hours the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally be discouraged and go away. They didn’t, and the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she always regretted. "Maybe if you see them for a few minutes, they’ll leave," she said to him. He sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn’t have the time to spend with such out-of-place individuals and he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office that his secretary described to him. The president, stern faced and with dignity, strutted toward the couple. The lady told him, "We had a son who attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was killed in an accident. My husband and I would like to build a memorial for him, somewhere on campus." The president wasn’t touched... he was shocked. “Madam,” He said gruffly, "We can’t put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery." "Oh, no," the lady explained quickly. "We don’t want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, then exclaimed, "A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs. We have over seven and a half million dollars invested in the physical buildings here at Harvard." For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. Maybe he could get rid of them now. The lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a university? Why don’t we just start our own.” Her husband nodded. The president’s face wilted in confusion
