Schuhmacher’s Copper Penny By Leslie Nation Located on College Avenue in downtown Alva, some may recognize the Schuhmacher name, but it may also be noticeably new. After working for Gloria Metcalf at Schuhmacher’s for 10 years on the displays, Alva native Natasha Foster saw an opportunity to buy the store and called it Shuhmacher’s Copper Penny. Not once did she consider dropping the name that has graced the
building for so long. “It’s been Schuhmacher for around 100 years and we didn’t want to lose the name because it’s been there for so long,” said Foster. “It’s like a tradition, so we kept the name and added our own little spin to it.” Though the sole owner of the store since June 2013, Foster is helped by her mother Kim Foster and three parttime employees. As a part-time and full-time worker, and owner of the
Standing Ovations dance studio along with her mother, Foster is kept busy throughout the year. “I don’t have a lot free time. I have stayed busy my whole life,” Foster said. “This store is something that I’ve always wanted and something that I love. It doesn’t really feel like work. I call it my ‘fun shop.’” Open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to See Penny Page 9

The Freedom State Bank in Freedom was closed Friday, June 27, by the Oklahoma State Banking Department, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver. To protect the depositors, the FDIC entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with Alva State Bank & Trust Company in Alva to assume all of the deposits of The Freedom State Bank. The sole branch of The Freedom State Bank will reopen as a branch of Alva State Bank & Trust Company during its normal business hours. Depositors of The Freedom State Bank will automatically become depositors of Alva State Bank & Trust Company. Deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC, so there is no need for customers to change their banking relationship in order to retain their deposit insurance coverage up to applicable limits. Customers of The Freedom State Bank should continue to use their existing branch until they receive notice from Alva State Bank & Trust Company that it has completed systems changes to allow other Alva State Bank & Trust Company branches to process their accounts as well. Over the weekend, depositors of The Freedom State Bank can access their money by writing checks or using ATM or debit cards. Checks drawn on the bank will continue to be processed. Loan customers should continue to make their payments as usual. As of March 31, The Freedom State Bank had approximately $22.8 million in total assets and $20.9 million in total deposits. Alva State Bank & Trust Company will pay the FDIC a premium of See Bank Page 12
Woman arrested on warrant ends up with drug charges By Marione Martin An Alva woman picked up on a bogus check warrant ended up with further charges involving drugs. According to documents in the case, on Saturday, June 21, about 7 p.m. Alva Police Officer Keith Dale saw Chrissy Lynn Province, 28, of Alva sitting on a bench in front of Share Medical Center. He knew Province had an active Woods County misdemeanor warrant for her arrest. Dale confirmed the warrant with the sheriff’s office and was later provided a copy. Dale approached Province and confirmed her identity. He told her she had an active warrant and placed her under arrest. He took her to the Woods County Jail to complete the book in process. As part of the book in process, Dale conducted an inventory of Province’s property. He found the following: • One “DigiWeigh” digital scale with a white substance around the edges that he knew to be methamphetamine and later field tested positive for methamphetamine. • A prescription bottle prescribed to Chrissy L. Province on June 20, 2014, for 90 “Hydroco/acetamin 10-325 mg tab” with instructions to take one tablet by mouth three times a daily. When Dale counted the contents he found 73 hydrocodones, which meant 17 pills were missing. • One black pouch that contained a daily pill organizer that contained two hydrocodones and 12 circular pills with a “v” on one side and See Drugs Page 9 “2683” on the other that

Girl Scouts enjoy a day Alva school board of fun at Frontier City finishes up fiscal year Alva Girl Scouts attended Frontier City Day on June 14. Alva’s cadette/senior/ambassador troops #969 and #799 attended the event, thoroughly enjoying the day of fun. The scouts relished the rides with the stomach-turning curves and loops. The River Log ride and the Renegade Rapids raft ride were huge hits, cooling everyone off. Girl Scouts of Western Oklahoma hosts Frontier City Day each year. This year they included a STEM
project for the scouts to enjoy. The challenge was to use a piece of gray soft tubing and tape to build a roller coaster that included one loop and would allow a marble to run down and drop into a plastic cup. After several tries, the Alva scouts solved the challenge. The scouts attending this year were Autumn Stout, Daylin Smart, Calissa Fouts, Hailey Weber and Isabella Stout, along with their leader, Judy Neilson.
By Lynn L. Martin With an agenda filled with more than 100 job assignments, the Alva Board of Education met June 26 to get its bookkeeping accounts and personnel assignments ready for the new fiscal year beginning July 1. Here are a few examples of entries on the four page agenda: • Becky Pingelton as activity fund custodian • Terri Owen as deputy activity fund custodian • JoAnn Isenbart as co-signer of the activity fund • Steve Parkhurst as alternative co-signer of the activity fund • Tim Argo as Title IX coordinator • Ron Sunderland as job safety director • Verlete Eckels as child nutrition specialist New Hire The Alva district is still short about three certified teachers. One of those positions was handled by hiring Taylor Schwerdtfeger on a temporary one-year contract. He recently held jobs at El Reno and Kingfisher. He will be assistant football and assistant basketball coach, and teach either social studies or physical education. Taking a quick picture with the actors of the Wild West Gunfighter Superintendent Steve Stunt Show are Autumn Stout, Isabella Stout, Daylin Smart, Calissa Parkhurst told the board about Fouts and Hailey Weber a three-day boot camp to bring most employees up to speed on the new technology such as the Apple computer program, Promethian Smart Boards and similar technology now available in the district. He also said a lot of summer refurbishing projects are continuing. He told of seeing the new colorful classroom desks in place at Lincoln School. Many areas are being repainted. Quite a bit of time was spent reviewing the approved “lists

of expenditures” that students or faculty may make to be reimbursed by the district, particularly when on road trips. A one-inch stack of paper distributed to the board members covered the approved expenditure lists of every account. Here is an example of one of the lists: AHS Concessions: • Donations • Fundraising expenses • Cash box • Transfers to other accounts • Refunds • Purchase of supplies/equipment • Advertising and thank yous • Reimbursements to individuals • Miscellaneous • Postage and shipping Board member Tiffany Slater, whose everyday job is auditing at BancCentral, objected to the presence of the “miscellaneous” category on virtually all of the account lists. She reasoned that was a very loose category and opened up the accounts to improper spending. Becky Pingelton, who reviews all entries on such accounts, said she couldn’t remember the last time the miscellaneous category ever received an entry. Slater then reasoned that non-use added to her thoughts as to why the account should be deleted. The board eventually passed the approved expenditure lists with the motion including a statement that the miscellaneous category will be removed from each. The board renewed the $25,000 Northwestern Oklahoma State University (NWOSU) football field use agreement. Steve Parkhurst said this is the last year of that $25,000 fee. When Tom McDaniel was president of NWOSU, he arranged for Alva Schools to use the field free. About five
Taylor Schwerdtfeger years ago, when the lighting system needed to be upgraded, the university asked the Alva School District to kick in some funds to help replace the lights. This is the last year of that payment and Parkhurst expects the agreement to revert back to free use. He noted that the another continuing agreement is the contract with Apple, Inc. for the huge computer project. Share Trust is contributing a third of the cost, the Wisdom Foundation is contributing a third of the cost, and Alva Schools are contributing a third of the cost. Other continuing contracts include BancCentral for the bus barn Internet service; Munn Supply for cylinder lease, Pitney Bowes for a mailing machine, Endex Fire Alarm monitoring; Dirk’s copiers; Luckingbill for high school maintenance; and Ross Transportation for bus leasing. The board ended its meeting by moving into executive session to discuss the negotiated teacher’s contract.
Troopers gearing up for Fourth of July weekend OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma state troopers are preparing for the annual Independence Day holiday weekend by participating in several special emphasis programs aimed at curbing fatal and serious injury crashes and water-related deaths. “Our troopers will be highly visible this Fourth of July weekend in an attempt to reduce collisions and dangerous behaviors both on our roads and waterways throughout the state,” said Colonel Ricky Adams, chief of patrol. “Troopers will conduct DUI special emphasis and saturation patrols while looking for violations
of law that contribute to collisions every day,” said Adams. Violations such as speeding, inattentive driving, failing to wear safety belts, failing to properly restrain children in child safety seats, failing to wear personal floatation devices, and operating motor vehicles and vessels while under the influence of intoxicants or alcohol will be enforced. There were four deaths from motor vehicle collisions and two deaths from drowning during the Fourth of July, 2013, reporting period, which ran from 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 3, through midnight Sunday, July 7, 2013.
This year, the reporting period runs from 6 p.m. Thursday, July 3, through midnight Sunday, July 6, 2014. Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) and Operation Dry Water will be in effect over the Fourth of July weekend. Both special emphasis programs are expected to increase safety on Oklahoma roadways and waterways over America’s Independence Day holiday. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol encourages people to report dangerous drivers or boat operators by calling *55 from any mobile device.

Mexican national jailed on cocaine, weapons charges By Marione Martin During a search of a Woods County residence on June 20, law enforcement officers located numerous weapons, including a cut-up AK-47, and cocaine. Numerous identification cards were seized that appeared to be falsified documents. According to court papers filed in the case, on June 18 a cooperating individual (CI) told Steve Tanio, a District #26 district attorney’s investigator, about a Hispanic male known as “Hamero” who was in possession of a white substance believed to be cocaine and a fully automatic AK-47. Tanio had received reliable information from this CI on many occasions in the past. The CI said in early June he went to a residence north of U.S. Highway 64 west of Alva. The residence was on the west side of County Road 370, which is known as the Avard blacktop. He said the man he knew as Hamero worked for Smith Energy, an oil field related company. He said Hamero had “bragged” that he had brought several other Hispanic individuals up from Mexico and had obtained false identification papers for them. These individuals also lived at the residence. The CI said while he was at the residence, he saw Hamero with three different AK-47 type rifles and several handguns, one of which he believed was a .45 caliber. He said he saw Hamero shoot one of the AK-47 rifles in the backyard of the residence out into a field, and the weapon fired multiple bullets with one pull of the trigger. The CI said he also fired the weapon, and it was a fully automatic weapon. The CI said while inside the residence with several other Hispanic individuals he saw Hamero bring from a bedroom a white “brick” and place it on a living room table. Hamero told the CI this
was cocaine, and the CI observed Hamero and other Hispanic males take some of the white substance and snort it into their noses. On June 19, Tanio received a search warrant on the residence. The warrant was executed on June 20 by several law enforcement officers including members of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP), Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics, Woods County Sheriff’s Office, Alva Police Department, Waynoka Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) and Tanio. OHP Captain Santos Diaz told Tanio during the initial execution of the warrant a total of five adult Hispanic male individuals were inside the residence. He said two of the men did not comply with law enforcement officer’s commands and attempted to flee to an upstairs bedroom. Diaz said the main suspect, Homero Padron, was found lying in bed in a southeast bedroom and would not comply with officer’s commands. After placing Padron into investigative detention, the officers located a loaded 9mm semi-automatic handgun that had been under Padron’s hip in the bed. Tanio observed this handgun to be a Jennings firearm, Model Bryco 59, 9mm semi-automatic. A clear plastic bag of white powdery substance was located in the bedroom. Alva Officer William Shahan told Tanio he used a field test kit for the substance, and it tested positive for cocaine. While inside the bedroom, Tanio observed other firearms including a Marlin 25 rifle, .22 caliber; a Savage Model 110, caliber 30.06; and a Mossberg Model 352KB, .22 caliber rifle. Tanio determined that Padron was a Mexican national citizen. He also observed and seized numerous identification cards for various individuals including various Social Security cards that, based on his experience and training, appeared to be falsified documents. Later on June 20, FBI Special
Agent John Davis and ATF Special Agent Pablo Pinzon told Tanio they had conducted a post-Miranda interview with Homero Padron. They told Tanio that Padron had admitted the plastic bag of cocaine in the bedroom belonged to him and on numerous occasions in the past he had transported cocaine from Longview, Texas, to the residence where he had used the cocaine and provided the cocaine to other individuals inside the residence. They said Padron admitted he had fired a fully automatic AK-47 rifle while at the residence, and the rifle had been cut up with a band saw and was inside an orange sack on the property. He also told them he had a party at the residence where he had displayed a “brick” of cocaine, and he and other individuals had used cocaine. On June 20, Tanio observed an orange plastic sack in a round concrete pit or silo base on the property they were searching. Inside the sack Tanio saw a cut up rifle. After looking at the cut up rifle, Pinzon said it was consistent with all the parts for an AK-47. Tanio conducted a check of Homero Padron and located an NCIC Triple III record for Homero R. Papron aka Jose Homero Padron, Jose Homero Padron-Resendiz. Padron had prior arrests in Texas for driving while intoxicated and failure to stop and give information. He determined Padron was not a citizen of the United States but was a Mexican national. On June 20 after Padron was taken into custody, Tanio was informed the U.S. Immigration and Customs agency had placed a detainer hold on Padron with the Woods County Sheriff’s Office. On June 23 in Woods County, Jose Homero Padron-Resendiz aka Homero Padron, Jose Homer Padron, Homero R. Papron, 29, was charged with three felonies: possession of a controlled dangerous substance, maintaining a place for keeping/selling controlled substance and possession of firearms during commission of a felony.
Collisions caused by various problems By Marione Martin Failure to yield, a dropped cellphone and driver courtesy contributed to recent auto accidents in Alva. On Monday, June 9, about 7:30 a.m. there was a two-vehicle collision on Locust Street in Alva about 25 feet west of Seventh Street. Phyllis J. Hofen, 73, of Alva was driving a 2001 Ford eastbound on Locust when a 2004 Nissan driven by Tayler Conder, 21, of Alva failed to yield, striking the Hofen vehicle and causing minor damage. Officer John Caviness investigated. On Saturday, June 14, two vehicles collided about 12:30 p.m. at Flynn Street and Fourth. Taylor A. Cihak, 30, of Alva was driving a 2003 Pontiac westbound on Flynn and stopped at the stop sign at Fourth Street. Derek S. Murrow, 29, of Cherokee was also westbound on Flynn in a 1995 Cadillac and struck the Chihak vehicle. Murrow said he dropped his cellphone and was trying to pick it up when he struck the other vehicle. Both vehicles had been moved. Cihak was taken to Share Medical Center by Alva EMS. Officer Ron Vasquez investigated.
On Thursday, June 19, police investigated a collision on Oklahoma Boulevard west of College Avenue about 11:15 a.m. Thomas N. Knopf, 22, of Burlington driving a 1999 Chevrolet was facing south in a private drive and waiting to turn east (left) onto Oklahoma Boulevard. Knopf said a pickup pulling a camper in the outside lane of Oklahoma Boulevard that stopped due to a red light at the
next intersection and waved to him to pull out. Knopf told the officer he did not see a 2007 Chevrolet driven by Thomas G. Ramy, 58, of Alva in the westbound inside lane of Oklahoma Boulevard and proceeded to turn left. Knopf’s front bumper struck Ramy’s front right bumper. Ramy’s vehicle was unsafe to drive due to the bumper rubbing the right front tire so it was towed away. K9 Officer Patrick Hawley investigated.

Obamacare ‘good news’ not as good as we thought from the government -- large subsidies for the lowestincome Americans who purchase coverage on the exchanges, free health care for people eligible for the expanded Medicaid program. But for millions of other Americans, it’s a different story. In fact, one respected analyst worries that Obamacare, while helping some, is actually “creating a chronically uninsured class” of those ineligible for its taxpayer-paid assistance. Of the much-discussed 8 million Americans who have signed up for Obamacare, the “vast majority ... are receiving financial assistance,” according to a new Department of Health and Human Services report. What that means is this: Of the 8 million, about 85 percent, or 6.8 million, actually paid for coverage. Of those, about 87 percent, or 5.9 million, receive subsidies to help Alva Review-Courier taxpayer-paid them pay.

People who signed up for coverage are actually paying for it; more insurance companies are joining exchanges; some consumers have more choices than originally envisioned. “The news surrounding the Affordable Care Act has been so good this week, it’s almost hard to know where to start,” wrote MSNBC’s Steve Benen in a recent post headlined “Everything’s Coming Up Aces for the ACA.” Not so fast.

Hard acts to follow By Jim Scribner We attended the first of three showings of “Fiddler on the Roof” Thursday night at the Act I Theatre. The new sound system sure helped and is a welcome addition. As I had suspected it would be, the play was great. Besides the time sacrifices of the adults making this possible, these young people did a lot of shuffling time and missing afternoon swims to participate. Thanks to all for a great show and thank you to everyone involved. Helen Barrett and Lynn Martin are hard acts to follow (Wednesday’s Newsgram stories about the event director), but I wish to put in my two cents. I was very disappointed in the decision by the tourism board to fund this project. (Ed. note: All votes at that meeting have been declared void by the city attorney because of no quorum. Jim wrote his column before that knowledge.) As I have watched them over the years I really have seen very few times I didn’t agree with their decisions on whether or not to fund events. The ball got dropped this time. This should have never been presented without the whole group there.
Is this not part of the Chamber of Commerce’s job description to assist, bring and promote activities to Alva? We already have a part-time director and a full-time staff member in place. If the director is so busy with her other job that she needs to hire additional help to do her job at the chamber, maybe it is time to revisit the arrangement as a part-time director. The $75,000 requested bothers me in several ways. First $57,000 salary isn’t much if you say it quick enough, but how many people in Alva – teachers, business managers, correctional officers, McDonald’s employees – even approach this figure? And $2,800 to find the event director? How much do emails to other chambers, Facebook postings and phone calls cost? And if you already have someone in mind, why waste the money on a scam? Nearly $8,000 for office furniture, computers, copiers, etc. They need to check out Wal-Mart prices and shave this figure to a couple thousand dollars. On the other hand, if you are wanting to upgrade the chamber equipment as you go, their figure could be more realistic. They also wanted $7,500 for office expenses and overhead, particularly since the building is provided See Gems Page 5 free. Other than
Iraq producing unusual Mideast dynamic By Matthew Lee An AP News Analysis WASHINGTON (AP) — Strange bedfellows, indeed. The Obama administration has found itself in a foreign policy and national security pickle of rare complexity with the apparent entry of Syria into the Iraq conflict on the side of the U.S.-backed government in Baghdad, as well as active Iranian military support for Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Washington already was toeing a delicate line with Shiite Iran, which the U.S. deems the world’s most active state sponsor of terrorism, over their common short-term interest in turning back the advance of militant Sunni rebels in Iraq. Now, to its dismay, Syrian President Bashar Assad — regarded in Washington as a pariah who should be ousted — has joined the club with what U.S. and Iraqi officials say are airstrikes
against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in western Iraq. ISIL had been fighting Assad in Syria before turning its major focus to seizing large swaths of northern Iraq. Assad is being supported by Iran in his country’s own civil war with opposition forces, and a decision for Syria to hit ISIL on Iraqi soil is perhaps not surprising. While al-Maliki may not like Syrian attacks on Iraqi territory, “if it distracts the Islamic State from its trek toward Baghdad for a while, then they will welcome it,” said Robert Ford, former U.S. ambassador to Syria. But as Iraq’s other immediate neighbors — Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Turkey — bolster their defenses, the new fighting threatens to unravel a byzantine balance of Mideast alliances and enmities that the United States long has sought to manage.

Dear Annie: I recently became engaged to my boyfriend of six years. His family and I get along great, he’s my very best friend, and I am so incredibly happy. The bliss, however, is being trumped by one problem. Before “Kevin” and I got together, he was in a relationship with “Sophia” for four years. She came from a dysfunctional family and, as a result, became quite close to Kevin’s mother. Sophia still calls her, sporadically drops by the house, stays in touch on Facebook and delivers flowers on special occasions. It’s been extremely frustrating for me. It is obvious that Sophia doesn’t like me, and now that we are engaged, she seems to push herself into Kevin’s family out of spite. I am certain that she is no threat to my relationship with Kevin. But it bothers him terribly that his mother is still in such close contact, not only because he knows it makes me uncomfortable, but because he doesn’t think it’s proper now that I’m going to be his wife. Don’t get me wrong -- I have an excellent relationship with Kevin’s mother. She has no daughters, and I want to form a bond with her. But my attempts feel futile because it seems she always chooses Sophia over me. Kevin has brought this up to his mother, but she defends the friendship. This truly hurts my feelings. It’s not my place to say
who his mother can be friends with, but I feel I’ll always take a backseat when it comes to building a relationship with my mother-inlaw. Am I being overly sensitive? How can I avoid feeling second best? -- Frustrated Fiancee Dear Fiancee: As long as you are secure in your relationship with Kevin, you can afford to ignore Sophia. Treat her as you would any friend of the family whom you don’t like: You are polite and a wee bit dismissive. She is annoying, but of no consequence. You could even introduce her to some eligible men and shift her focus. We suspect Kevin’s mother feels sorry for Sophia. As you become an integral part of his family, and Sophia sees that she cannot be a thorn in your side, Mom’s closeness with the ex will fade into something you can handle. Dear Annie: I’m a nice, attractive, honest lady who has been single since 1973. I’ve been on dating sites off and on for the past 10 years and can’t find a husband to save me. What’s the matter with this world? Men seem too lazy to travel to meet me, or just want to mess around online. I’ve had several claim to be “in love” with me, but not enough to meet me. I’ve waited so long that now I’m 82, but I can still love mentally and physically, and I look young, so what can I do? I’m tired of being lonely. -- LH in Montgomery
Dear LH: When someone tells us they can’t find anyone after years of searching, we suggest they ask their friends and family members to be brutally honest. Is there something about you that puts men off? Are you attracted to the wrong type of guy? Are your expectations out of line with reality? But we do recommend that you get off the computer and into places where you can meet men. Try church, community centers, health clubs and any activity that interests you. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Grossed Out in Quebec,” whose husband doesn’t wash his hands after using the bathroom, saying he’s “careful enough.” My husband doesn’t wash his hands either, but I found proof that he is not, in fact, clean enough. His computer keyboard is filthy, and so is his mouthwash bottle cap. I showed him. Now I can sometimes hear him washing his hands in the bathroom. -- Kentucky Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

that, that’s a lot of paperclips and copy paper. This in addition to the approximately $3,700 the director (for $57,000 salary) will bring in yearly is to be put in the chamber account. This would almost seem to me to be a plan to pay chamber expenses with tourism funds. If the request remains approved, this will be a yearly expense for the tourism board to pay. How busy would this person be? We have gotten along just fine with the present system. I wonder how many event planners in Alva even call the chamber for help. I also wonder how many added events could be found to come to Alva? If the director could land a Sturgis-class bike rally, a Reba McIntire concert, world-class chess tournament, or any other major event, it would be great to have a director. The problem is we are limited by facilities and
demographics on what our area can support. The last thing that really bothered me was charging for events coordinating. It looked strange to me to penalize current events by charging them more than new events. There would be lots less work helping set up established events. $150-$200 for current events and $100-$150 for new events. (Ed. note: We do not believe Jim’s understanding of the next point is correct.) Also, if I understood right, you would not have a choice about whether the events coordinator helps you or not, and would be forced to pay the fees even if you don’t need the help. To me this is almost a slap in the face to our talented local event planners. Is the event director going to be asked to help, volunteer, or be forced on other people planning events? Why should the rec center
By Tom and Ray Magliozzi Dear Tom and Ray: I have a ‘68 Chevy pickup that I love and want to keep running for as long as I can. I live on a farm, but I only use it when I have to go to Home Depot to pick up duct tape -- it’s a great “old dude” magnet! The truck starts and runs beautifully, but the last time I started it, it began to sputter and die. I opened the hood and, to my horror, saw that the carburetor was spewing gas. I immediately called the mechanic who lives down the road, and asked him if he would look at it. Unfortunately, he had just successfully retired after many previous attempts, and he held firm even when I offered to rebuild the carburetor myself under his tutelage. However, he did give me a tip that works like a charm: He told me to tap it lightly with a hammer, because the needle valve gets stuck. Sure enough, it worked, but I’m concerned that it might happen while I’m driving and the gas might ignite on the hot manifold. Would you say that this is a good fix, or should I try to find another oldster who has actually worked on an old truck? Thank you for many years of good laughs and, occasionally, good advice! -- Hali the Librarian TOM: It’s getting harder and harder to find guys who’ve actually worked on carburetors, Hali. It’s harder than finding a guy to change the goat-skin membrane in my ear horn. RAY: It sounds like your carburetor is flooding and liquid gas is coming out the vents. TOM: Your instincts are correct: That’s not a great long-term situation, and you’re right to look for a more permanent fix. RAY: But since you can’t get help rebuilding your carburetor, I’m going to suggest that you try to replace it. TOM: Go online, and see if you can find an already-rebuilt
staff, the Bahama Breakaway or car show planners have to pay $200 to someone when they do an excellent job without an event planner? Is this not part of the Chamber of Commerce’s job description to bring and promote activities to Alva? Thanks to Mrs. Mantz and Mrs. Barton for presenting this plan to the tourism board and caring about Alva and it’s future, but we need to pass this time. On a sad note, we lost two of Alva’s characters this last week. Jim Dunlap was one of my junking buddies and a senior friend until he couldn’t travel back and forth. Mack Province and I lived in the same neighborhood growing up. I saw him last Sunday at the casino. When I asked him how he had done he told me he had lost a little but he had a great time. Both made Alva a better place to live and will be missed. Condolences to the families.
carburetor for your 1968 Chevy truck. I’m guessing you have a V-8 engine, and probably a Rochester carburetor. Ideally, you’ll find a remanufactured one for a few hundred bucks that will be just as good as new. RAY: And the needle and the floats will all be brand-new, and should work perfectly. Or at least no worse than they worked in 1968. TOM: And if you were game to rebuild the carburetor, swapping it out is even easier. RAY: You simply disconnect the linkage and the fuel line, which is no big deal. Then you unscrew about four nuts that bolt down the carburetor, and you’re pretty much done. TOM: Well, you’re done when you successfully put those four nuts back in, along with the new carburetor, then reattach everything and see if the truck starts. But it’s a pretty simple job, and you sound like you’re up for it. RAY: A nice trick nowadays is to set up your smart phone and record yourself removing the old carburetor. That way, when you have two or three parts left over, you can go back and watch it, and see where they came from. TOM: This will be a fun project for you, Hali. Plus, the old dudes who are already attracted to your truck will go nuts when they find out that you swapped out your own carburetor. You’ll be swimming in amorous old dudes, Hali. *** Tom and Ray share secrets on how you can save tens of thousands of dollars on your cars over the next 20 years in their pamphlet “Should I Buy, Lease, or Steal My Next Car?” Send $4.75 (check or money order) to Next Car, P.O.

-- on those who go uninsured. The idea was, the mandate would not only increase the coverage rate but also raise revenue for the federal government. But now comes word that very few will pay the penalty. In a recent study, the Congressional Budget Office said that of the 30 million people estimated to be uninsured in 2016, only about 4 million will be required to pay. The rest -- 26 million people -will be exempt from the mandate under various regulations issued by the Obama administration. So this is one vision of Obamacare’s future: Lowerincome Americans purchase insurance because they receive the biggest subsidies. Others with somewhat higher incomes are priced out of the Obamacare market. The individual mandate is meaningless. The net result is tens of millions remain without coverage. “Obamacare looks to be
on its way to creating a chronically uninsured class,” says Laszewski. That’s certainly not what Barack Obama promised when he said his plan would make health care “better for everybody.” It’s not what he promised when he said the Affordable Care Act would “cut the average family’s premium by about $2,500 per year.” It’s not what he promised when he said Obamacare would “bend the cost curve” of health care. What happens now? After Democrats finish crowing about what a success Obamacare is, it’s likely they will argue that subsidies must be extended to more and more Americans to pay for coverage that Obamacare has made more and more expensive. Republicans will resist, but at the same time realize Obamacare has changed the health care system in ways that will be difficult to overturn and hard to fix.

array of colors and textures. The most common bromeliads grow in rosettes of large, strappy leaves around a central cup. The leaves arise from the cup, which is designed to hold water. These plants are highly adaptable and grow in a rich, fast-draining potting soil that is similar to their native conditions. They are tolerant of different levels of light, preferring welllit, bright windowsills, but not direct sunlight. Ideally, they prefer temperatures between 55 and 80 degrees; they should not be exposed to temperatures under 40 degrees. They are tolerant of drought conditions and should never rest in standing water. Use a fast-draining potting soil and fertilize only once a season.

Speeding stop leads to drug charge By Marione Martin A Mooreland man stopped for speeding in Woods County ended up with several other charges. Henry Jefferson Lauderdale III, 21, of Mooreland has been charged with felony possession of a controlled dangerous substance. He also faces a misdemeanor charge of driving with license suspended as well as traffic charges of speeding 73 in a 65 mph zone and failure to notify the Department of Public Safety of a change of address. According to documents on file, on May 30 about 11 p.m. OHP Trooper Jon Cotner was eastbound on U.S. Highway 64 near Country Road 270 when he saw a vehicle traveling
west that appeared to be speeding. He confirmed his visual estimation with his radar unit, which showed it to be traveling 73 in a 65 mph zone. Cotner made a traffic stop on the white Dodge work truck and spoke to the driver, Lauderdale. When he checked Lauderdale’s license, he learned it was flagged as suspended. He placed Lauderdale under arrest. During their conversation, Cotner asked if the address on the driver’s license was correct, and Lauderdale said it was not and that he had moved approximately a year ago. Lauderdale’s pickup was towed by a wrecker. His two passengers were driven by Woods County Deputy Sheriff David Cummings
to a nearby gas station to wait for a ride since neither had a valid driver’s license. Cotner took Lauderdale to the Woods County Jail. While at the jail, Detention Officer Crow performed a custodial search of Lauderdale. While searching Lauderdale’s wallet, Crow found a small clear baggy containing a white crystalline substance between some pictures. Crow informed Cotner of the baggy, and Cotner took possession. Cotner recognized the substance through his training and experience to be consistent with the appearance of methamphetamine. Cotner field tested the substance, which showed a positive result for meth.

By Nate Robson Oklahoma Watch The population of Le Flore County in southeastern Oklahoma is less than a tenth of Oklahoma County’s population. Yet Le Flore has 17 school districts compared to Oklahoma County’s 15. At Reydon Public Schools in western Oklahoma, the superintendent makes $116,000 a year, including benefits, to oversee one of the smallest districts in the state, at 124 students. That’s $936 per student, compared to $6 for Tulsa Public Schools Superintendent Keith Ballard, the highest paid superintendent this year, making $260,000. For years, conservative legislators and others have decried what they say are high administrative costs in Oklahoma districts and schools. They say the state’s K-12 system is top-heavy and wasteful. And they point to this as a reason not to increase Oklahoma’s per-pupil funding to levels found in most other states, and to expand school-choice options such as charter schools. Oklahoma Watch took an indepth look at federal and state data on administrative and classroom costs in district schools. The data show that compared with other states, Oklahoma spends a high percentage of its budget on district administration and a low percentage on instruction. Oklahoma spends just above the national average on school administration. In 2011-2012, Oklahoma ranked sixth among states in percentage of funds spent on district administration, at 3.2 percent, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Those costs include

But many lawmakers say consolidation should remain a local decision, not a state mandate, because closing a school can cripple a small community. The district may be a key employer and the town’s social and athletic center. In Freedom Public Schools, a rural district with fewer than 100 students, Superintendent Danny McCuiston said consolidation is not an easy prospect. Western Oklahoma has small districts that are located up to 30 miles from other districts, which would cause problems in transporting students. That isolated nature can also make it difficult to share staff. McCuiston said small districts are not bloated with personnel; more often they’re understaffed, forcing administrators to fill multiple roles. McCuiston, for example, is not only superintendent, but also works as an elementary school principal, a teacher and mows the lawn. Freedom Public Schools has two administrators and 10 full-time teachers. “Rural schools are as efficient as they can be. They have to be,” McCuiston said. Rural schools often spend higher percentages on district administration because they have lower student-to-administrator levels, McCuiston said. Rep. David Brumbaugh, R-Broken Arrow, said both sides of the consolidation debate have valid points, but he hopes a bill approved by the Legislature this year will offer a middle ground. The bill, signed by Gov. Mary Fallin on June 3, will allow small districts to voluntarily share costs, such as for a superintendent, a counselor or a teacher. The state will spend an estimated $761,000 to set up programs that make school personnel available for sharing among districts. The districts pay fees to defray the costs. The goal is to generate enough savings that will more than pay for the state program. Similar programs have cut costs in Texas and Iowa, Brumbaugh said. Spending Caps Although districts are spending more on administration, only a handful of districts in recent years have exceeded the cap for such costs set by the state. The caps
range from 5 percent to 8 percent, depending on enrollment. Districts that exceed the cap can lose state funding. Four districts — Mansville, Dover and Straight public schools, and the Discovery School of Tulsa — lost a combined $17,645 in 2013-2014 for exceeding the limit the previous school year. Superintendents from Straight and Mansville declined requests for interviews. Officials from Dover and Discovery School of Tulsa did not respond. Of the 26 districts penalized since fiscal 2007, all but three were in far southeastern or eastern Oklahoma, including four districts in Le Flore County, which has more district than any other county, at 17. The state’s largest district, Oklahoma City Public Schools, spent 2.5 percent of its budget on administration last school year. Tulsa Public Schools spent 3.6 percent. Trish Williams, chief financial officer for Tulsa Public Schools, said the district has dealt with funding cuts and consolidation on top of increased administrative requirements from the state. Williams pointed to standardized testing, A-F grading and the state’s teacher evaluation system as new programs that increase administrative spending. Even going after grant money to fund new programs often requires hiring new administrators to handle the grant. “We should absolutely monitor administrative costs, but lawmakers need to make sure mandates don’t increase (unfunded) administration,” she said. Phil Bacharach, a spokesman for the Oklahoma State Department of Education, said efforts have been made to reduce paperwork to carry out reforms. “On the costs of record gathering and reporting, accountability, etc., it is true that there might be some cost involved, but every field, even those funded entirely with taxpayer dollars, feels a fiscal impact of regulation,” Bacharach said in an email.

School superintendent pay Salaries are a large share of schools’ administrative costs and are often cited by critics of education spending. Salary data for superintendents obtained by Oklahoma Watch show a wide range of compensation that varies generally by enrollment. When measured in dollars per student, however, the salaries of many small-district leaders far exceed those for superintendents of large districts. Reydon, Balko and Tenkiller public schools are examples where the superintendent makes six figures for overseeing a district with fewer than 300 students. Phillip Drouhard of Reydon makes $116,041, including benefits; Larry Mills of Balko makes $103,608, and Randy Rountree of Tenkiller makes $126,130, according to state Department of Education data. Drouhard, Mills and Rountree could not be reached for comment. At Taloga Public Schools in western Oklahoma, Superintendent Darci Lingle makes $80,682 to lead a district with 70 students. That gives her the highest dollarper-student rate in the state, at $1,000 per student. Lingle said in an email that superintendents in small districts handle a variety of duties. “I help with scheduling, policies, student discipline, staff development, drive a route as needed as well as other responsibilities,” she said, adding,
“Our revenue comes primarily from local sources.” According to the state, Taloga’s funding is nearly $23,000 per student. None of the four districts have exceeded their administrative caps. Steven Crawford, executive director of Cooperative Council for Oklahoma School Administration, said higher pay is often needed to draw people to districts like Taloga. “In order to get the best candidates, you got to pay them enough to move out there,” Crawford said. “These are remote, isolated communities.” Woods County Schools There are three schools in Woods County. With the largest number of students, Alva Superintendent Steve Parkhurst is paid $95,000 base pay and total compensation of $109,184, which is a ratio of $107 per student. Alva uses 46.5 percent of the annual budget for classroom instruction, 2.4 percent for district administration and 2.4 percent for school administration. The budget comes out to $11,133 per student. The smallest school in student numbers is Freedom where Superintendent Danny McCuiston receives a base pay of $83,709 and total compensation of $96,122, which comes out to $1,092 per student. The annual budget comes to $20,843 per student with 40 percent going to classroom instruction, 11.2 percent for district administration and 7.1 percent for
school administration. Waynoka Superintendent Loren Tackett is paid $91,000 base pay and $104,604 total compensation, or $362 per student. The budget includes $11,784 per student. Of that amount, 51.6 percent is spent for classroom instruction, 5.2 percent for district administration and 6.5 percent for school administration. Alfalfa County Schools Alfalfa County has also has three schools. Burlington pays Superintendent Glen Elliott $75,000 base pay and $81,568 total compensation. That’s $544 per student. Cherokee Schools pay Superintendent Cory Ellis $92,000 base pay with total compensation of $104,175 or $283 per student. Timberlake Superintendent Roy Rousey is paid $91,500 base pay with total compensation of $103,193 for $377 per student. Major County Schools Of the three Major County schools, Fairview pays the most at $90,612 base pay and $99,555 total compensation to Superintendent Ross Burchfield. That’s $139 per student. Cimarron Superintendent Steve Walker is paid $51,063 base pay and $61,028 total compensation for $217 per student. Ringwood pays Superintendent Wade Detrick $76,256 base pay and $81,440 total compensation for $200 per student.

Nelson and Pat Myers selected for June Yard of the Month Sponsored by Alva Council of Garden Clubs By Barbara J. Case, Member Pat and Nelson Myers’ beautifully landscaped home at 303 Olive St. was purchased 39 years ago (well before the streets were paved). It’s on the corner of Third and Olive streets – on a street that is only four blocks long. The home has undergone several different phases of remodeling, as have the grounds, but with the help of a watering system, perennial and annual flowers and nine different trees,
it is the best it’s been. They have maintained its beauty throughout the past few years of drought. A low shrub hedge frames the Myers’ front porch. There are 24 varieties of flowers in pots or on the landscape and nine different trees. Some of the plants are petunias, coreopsis, rose bushes, ice plants, peonies, Swedish ivy, small zinnias, Boston ferns, Gerber daisies, baby’s breath, scabiosis, million bells, purslane, Nandina shrubs and crepe myrtle bushes.
The trees include red maple, live oak, silver maple, native elm, seedless mulberry, red gum and pin oak. Many of the plants have been a part of the Myers’ labor gardening and landscaping for many years. Pat said, “My love of flowers and yard work came from my mother, Cleo Gruber.” Nelson helps with edging, carrying heavy bags to the curb, cutting limbs from trees and trimming shrubs. They both enjoy the porches where they sit and enjoy the weather or read. In fact, during the selection process the
garden club committee discovered Nelson reading and enjoying a cup of coffee on the back porch. A barn-wood potting bench holds a large collection of bird houses, and a bowl of purslane flowers leads one’s eyes to the neatly manicured backyard and it’s decades-old tree shading a relaxing patio set and grandchildren’s tree swings. Clematis blooms trail up the fence along with a huge yellow rose bush, Knockout roses and wellestablished pink crepe myrtles, while tomato and pepper plants are interspersed within the plantings. Take a cruise over to Olive Street some morning or on an evening drive and see why this lovely
landscaped home was chosen for the Alva Garden Clubs’ Yard of the Month. It’s also just east of Northwestern Oklahoma State University’s campus and exhibits a labor of love and pride in their environment and neighborhood The Alva Garden Council promotes the beautifying of occupants’ homes by selecting a yard within the city limits each month from June through September. The committee encourages citizens to notify them of a nice, pretty yard that can be viewed for consideration.

and advise the Iraqi army and is conducting surveillance flights. Iran is also flying surveillance drones over Iraq in aid of alMaliki’s government, and on Tuesday, Syrian planes killed 17 people in a strike in Iraq’s mainly Sunni Anbar province, according to U.S. and Iraqi officials. American and Iranian officials have had some direct discussions on the matter, though the administration has ruled out the prospect of direct military cooperation or coordination with Iran. However, amid widespread concern, notably among Sunni Arab states and Israel, about the convergence of U.S., Iranian and Syrian policies on ISIL, President Barack Obama’s national security team has scrambled to produce a consistent and coherent message to the region. Administration officials said intervention by Syria was not the way to stem the insurgents, who have taken control of several cities in northern and western Iraq. “We’ve made it clear to everyone in the region that we don’t need anything to take
place that might exacerbate the sectarian divisions that are already at a heightened level of tension,” Secretary of State John Kerry said at a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels. “It’s already important that nothing take place that contributes to the extremism or could act as a flash point with respect to the sectarian divide.” Obama and his top aides have said repeatedly that the only way to resolve the crisis is for Iraqi leaders to come together and form a truly inclusive and representative government in which all three of the country’s main ethnic and religious groups — Sunni, Shiite and Kurd — have a voice. Yet, it remains unclear if alMaliki is willing to allow such an administration to be formed, and as long as the crisis continues, Gulf Arab countries with their long and deep distrust of Iran in particular are watching Iraq with increasingly dire concern. Underscoring the urgency,
Kerry, who traveled to Baghdad and the Kurdish city of Irbil this week, met in Paris on Thursday with the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. “The move of ISIL concerns every single country here,” Kerry said at the start of the meeting held at the U.S. ambassador’s residence in Paris. He said the talks with foreign ministers from Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates also would touch on a “number of critical issues” — including negotiations about Iran’s nuclear program and the stalled peace effort between Israel and Palestinian authorities. Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal called the discussions “of immense importance for our countries.” In another sign of how critical the situation has become, Kerry was also meeting in Paris with Lebanon’s prime minister and

Israel’s foreign ministers. He will fly to Saudi Arabia on Friday to hold similar talks with King Abdullah. At the White House, spokesman Josh Earnest blamed Assad for the rise of the extremists and warned that Syrian intervention could make matters worse. “The solution to the threat confronting Iraq is not the intervention of the Assad regime,” he told reporters. “In fact, it’s the Assad regime and the terrible violence that they perpetrated against their own people that allowed ISIL to thrive in the first place. The solution to Iraq’s security challenge does not involve
militias or the murderous Assad regime, but the strengthening of the Iraqi security forces to combat threats.” Karim Sadjipour, an Iran expert with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said the situation in Iraq, coupled with ongoing U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations, have produced a “bizarre dynamic” in which the United States and Saudi Arabia appear to be “allies but not friends” and the United States and Iran appear to be “friends but not allies.” The addition to the mix of Syria’s Assad is likely to further muddy the waters.
