School Board Fills Open Positions
By Lynn L. Martin With the start of school just two weeks away, both certified and noncertified people were employed Monday night at the Alva Board of Education meeting. Bret Hamby was hired as AMS as a physical education teacher and boys’ basketball coach. He has 21 years of experience in such places as Stillwater and Tahlequah. Another certified teacher, Suzanne Green, was bumped up from half time to full time in her science teacher position at Alva Middle School. Several paraprofessionals were hired. Amber Bosch was employed at Washington School; Lacey Gaisford was employed at Longfellow School; and Robin Counce was employed at
Bret Hamby
Longfellow School. Pat Countryman was employed as a six-hour cook for 2011-2012. Elizabeth Parkhurst was once again approved to provide physical therapy services for the district. The board approved a plan to accept credits from Northwest Technology Center for AHS students taking math and English, provided the instructor is certified in those areas and is highly qualified. Once again, Alva will serve as the LEA to manage the cooperative education project including Alva, Burlington and Cherokee schools. A contract for use of the NWOSU football stadium for AHS football was signed. A slight amendment was added that restricts the Alva school’s parking lot responsibility to high school activities only. Tutoring Service Martha Evans and Judye Pistole from the First Presbyterian Church appeared before the board to describe an afterschool free tutoring service the church plans to provide for all grades of Alva students beginning toward the end of August. Registration day will be August 27 from 10 a.m. until noon. The women explained they’ve lined up many retired university and public school teachers to help provide tutoring services. The student must be registered by a parent or guardian in order to attend. Each session will begin at 4 p.m. and end at 5:30 p.m. Those interested may contact Dr. Martha Evans at 327-1530 or 327-7359. A new state law will require substitute
teachers to pass a criminal record’s check. No one is “grandfathered in” for this new law. Even former full time teachers who now substitute must pass the check. Supt. Vickie Johnson said, “Those teachers who teach more than ten days per year will receive a refund of the $50 fee for the criminal records search.” Vice-Chairman Steve Ellis ran the meeting in the absence of Brian Gaddy.
Alva authorizes voluntary water conservation plan Asks not to water lawns from 4-10 p.m By Jim Stout Alva residents and businesses were asked Monday night to voluntarily conserve water between 4 and 10 p.m. to help with a problem of low water pressure. The city council issued the request until a formal water conservation plan has been drafted by Alva City Manager Steven Brown. The council authorized that plan will go into effect by advertising in the Alva Review-Courier and posting in 10 public locations around the city. Members of the council suggested the plan could include an even-odd plan for lawn watering. Mayor Chaffee advised not to use oscillating sprayers during the day to minimize evaporation. Brown suggested automatic watering systems could be timed to come on after 10 p.m.. More information will be available in Friday’s Alva Review-Courier.

Lynn Says
Motorcyclist survives, deer doesn’t By Lynn L. Martin I’m turning my column over to Alva Review-Courier/Newsgram employee Lesia Beavers. She and her husband were very good citizens in stopping and caring for an Arkansas man who had been injured in a motorcycledeer accidents just minutes before they passed by. The rest of this story is by Leisa; A West Fork, Arkansas motorcyclist hit a deer near Jet while on his way to Colorado Springs. Darrell Cooley, 54, was transported by Helena Ambulance Services with minor injuries to St. Mary Hospital in Enid around 3 p.m. on Saturday. Cooley said, “I was just taking my time, puttin’ along and out of nowhere that dang deer jumped right in front of me.” This reporter and husband Craig came upon the accident seconds after it happened. As we were coming back from Enid on our own motorcycle we saw a man in the ditch crawling on
his hands and knees. Next to him his motorcycle lay smoking, totaled out by the accident. We quickly turned around and went to help the man. Another motorist had stopped and called 9-1-1. My husband, Craig and I helped the man lie down on the side of the road. We had packages of new clothes we had bought in our saddlebags and Craig grabbed them out to use for a pillow for the injured man. The victim was bleeding from road rash and a gash in the top of his head. His hands were blistered and all the hide was scraped off his fingers. We tried to make the man as comfortable as we could. I sat next to him holding a large shirt over his head to shield him from the hot sun. The temperature was well over 100 degrees. We had some water bottles on our bike and I tried to keep the man cool by pouring small amounts of water on his neck and head and giving him small sips til help could arrive. After stabilizing Mr. Cooley the best we could, I stayed by his side and Craig went to check on the deer. The man fared much better than the deer. “The deer’s neck was bend double and it was kicking around a bit but
soon succumbed to the injuries and quietly died,” Craig said. The Highway Patrolman who stopped said the deer must have been on a search for water to be out in the middle of the day like that. Cooley’s phone was crushed in the accident but he was able to recite his mother’s phone number to me. I called her and explained what had happened as delicately as I could, trying not to upset her too much as she was very elderly. The ambulance finally arrived and Cooley was taken to the trauma center in Enid. I called his sister, Terri McNaughton of West Fork, Ark., Sunday after church and she told me he was treated and released from the hospital Saturday night. He went to a local hotel to await the arrival of his mother and other family members who were driving from Arkansas to pick up him and his belongings. Mr. Cooley is lucky to be alive. He had a helmet with him but was not wearing it. All I could think about the rest of the way home is that it could have been us, but it wasn’t. God is good!

Kiowa Hospital in the black, Obituary interviewing CFO candidates
By Yvonne Miller The majority of the July meeting of the Kiowa District Hospital Board Thursday evening was spent in executive session. That’s as the board opened the meeting interviewing three female candidates for Chief Financial Officer (CF0). The process took about two hours as they interviewed the women individually. Following another executive session at the end of the meeting, Hospital Administrator Aldeen “Van” Vandeveer confirmed Monday the board is still in the process and has not yet hired a CFO. He anticipates the process to be complete “hopefully in the next three to four weeks.” Van said following that last executive session the board also voted not to bid on home healthcare. They also approved the monthly Risk Management/Quality Assurance report. All board members attended the meeting including: President Zack Odell; Robert Stark, Lori Schrock, Dan Lukins and Robert Armbruster. Tax Budget Hearing Set for Aug 11 Board set the hospital’s tax budget hearing for August 11 at 8 a.m., in the
board room at the hospital. Van said the proposed budget is $869,730.00. The board voted to leave the mills and tax rate the same as last year. The budget must be in to the county by August 25, Van said. Finances Good, Thanks to Tax Support Interim CFO Walter Mitchell gave a thorough financial report for June. His report includes pages of color graphs showing financial figures; key statistics and financial ratios; cash position reports by month, an accounts receivable tracking report; an analysis report of aging bills by financial class; and more. “You have a strong operation,” Mitchell told the board. The hospital showed a net loss from operations of $62,171.95. However, with the addition of $68,043.80 primarily tax money, the hospital was in the black $5,871.85. Year-to-date the hospital shows revenue in excess of expenses totaling $239,877.60. That positive figure was $78,392.54 YTD for the same time in See Hospital Page 34

Workshops, general sessions, ven-
dors, exhibits, motivational speakers, 2011-12 national officer elections and theme celebrations were just some of the activities for participants.

Redistricting for Alfalfa County By Leisa Beavers Redistricting the county and new road graders for District 2 & 3 were among items at Monday’s meeting of the Alfalfa County Commission. Present were all three commissioners, Chairman Doug Murrow, Chad Roach and Toby Walker. Redistricting resolution for the county was approved. The proposed district population is divided as follows: District #1 = 1,587 people, District #2 = 1,575 people, and District #3 = 1,477 The inmates in James Crabtree Correctional Center near Helena will no longer be counted because they are not part of the voting population and they do not use the county roads. A purchase order was signed to receive two new road graders from Yellowhouse Machinery. One will go to District #2 and the other to district #3. Other business discussed was the Alcohol Beverage Tax Report for the county. Total amount of Alcoholic Beverage Tax collected is $6,185.69. Only one road crossing permit was approved this week and it was for District #3. An approval to transfer funds to the Alfalfa County Fairgrounds was passed. Other routine business was handled such as Maximum Highway Expenditures Resolution, M&O warrants for payment, blanket purchase orders, and other miscellaneous reports.

Hospital
2010. June operating expenses increased from $279,800.80 in May to $315,516.12 mainly due to increased professional fees, FICA and benefits, etc. CFO Mitchell’s management fee is $12,514. Hospital statistics were down somewhat for June including: total admissions; combined days of acute and swingbed care; total outpatient visits (although the lab was almost the same); clinic visits were only down by one visit for a total of 368. Van said they are advertising for an employee to work in accounts receivable. He said Kim Clark will do her RN training at the hospital. Bad Debt Project One of Mitchell’s reports dealt with the “bad debt project.” He said Kiowa’s Hospital has approximately $500,000 in aged accounts beyond 120-150 days.
Mitchell learned the hospital’s software vendor has an automation system that will help with bad debt. The program will sort and send bad debt to a collection agency in Ashland. This frees hospital employees to work on other projects. Per board request last month, Mitchell solicited a bid from their current vendor collection service. The board approved proceeding with the bad debt policy. Manor Statistics and Financials For June the average patient census at the manor was 26.70. The number was 24 Thursday, according to Manor DON Nicole Tronsgard. The net from operations showed a loss of $34,533.09. That’s with total operating expenses of $161,021.84. With the addition of $5,000 tax revenue, the manor’s loss was curbed to $29,527.59. Year-to-date, the manor shows a loss of $41,064.66. That’s an improvement over this same time last year when the
YTD loss was $131,040.78. Van said they’ve had a staffing change in the dietary department. He said statistically, that is one of the departments with the highest turnover rate. Update on Building Project The Hospital Foundation met Thursday. Judy Schrock said it’s going well as the group works to collect donations and other forms of revenue to meet the $2.5 million GAP funding for the new hospital. Earlier the county commissioners approved $4 million of taxpayer money for the improvement project. The project is estimated at $6.5-million, thus the need for the GAP funding. Since architects have the plans ready, Odell said, “It’s time to tell and show the public what we’re going to do.” The board wants to start the community rollout of information after school starts. They are assembling talking points and hope to have a booth at the park Labor Day.
