Passenger dies in crash OHP reports sleepy driver By Jim Stout The passenger in a pickup died at 6:15 Monday morning after the OHP said the driver apparently went to sleep at the wheel on US64 three miles east of the US281 junction. Dead is Christopher Ross Collums, 32, of Woodward who was pinned in the wreckage, according to the OHP report by Trooper Donald Kraft. Transported by Alva EMS to Share Medical Center with leg and internal injuries was the driver, Skiler James Morris, 18, also of Woodward, the OHP report said. He was transferred by Eagle Med to OU Medical Center where he was listed Tuesday morning in fair condition.
The pickup was westbound on US64 when the driver apparently fell asleep, the OHP reported. The vehicle departed the roadway to the left, struck a ditch, went airborne over the intersection of CR480 rolling a half-turn and landing on its top. Seat belts were not in use, the report said, and the airbags did not deploy. The driver was
ejected landing about 12 feet west of the vehicle. Responding in addition to Alva EMS and Trp. Kraft was Alva EMS, Fire and Rescue, Undersheriff Steve Ward of Woods County Sheriff’s Department, and Troopers Linda Hartley, Randy McCollough, Darrin Lancaster, Jason Burch and Jeff Jech.

Alfalfa County invites voters to mock election
Kayla Fuqua and Eric McClain
Fuqua—McClain announce upcoming Jan. 21 wedding Van and Stephanie Fuqua of Seiling, Oklahoma and Joe and Kim McClain of Jet, Oklahoma, are pleased to announce the upcoming wedding of their children, Kayla Fuqua and Eric McClain. The wedding will be held January 21, 2012 at 5:30 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church of Alva. Reception to follow at the Woods County Fair-
grounds. Eric is a 2011 graduate from Northwestern Oklahoma State University with a degree in Agri-Business. The couple plans to reside in Alva while Kayla finishes her Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology at Northwestern Oklahoma State University.
Kelly Stein, Secretary of the Alfalfa County Election Board, invites all voters in Alfalfa County to participate in a public mock election on Monday, January 9, through Thursday, January 12, 2012. Voters who visit the Alfalfa County Election Board office between 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. will have an opportunity to view Oklahoma’s new voting machines and to cast a mock election ballot before the new statewide voting system is used for the first time in the February 14, 2012, elections. The new voting system keeps the best parts of the old system - uniform equipment, standard procedures, and paper ballots counted by scanners while utilizing technology to improve security and efficiency. Paul Ziriax, the Secretary of the Oklahoma State Election Board, said state election officials are excited about the new voting system. “The best system in the country is getting even better.” Voters still will mark a paper ballot by hand and still will be able to depend on reliable and accurate scanners to count their ballots. The new system is based on modern computer technology, accurately counts ballots, and offers additional security. The new machines are also accessible for voters with disabilities. An audio tactile interface allows voters with disabilities to cast audio versions of ballots independently and privately. Oklahoma’s old voting system served the state well for many years – more than twenty, in fact. But the machines themselves and the computer system used to program them have aged, spare parts for necessary repairs have become increasingly scarce, and technology has marched forward. The State of Oklahoma received funding for an upgrade of the state’s voting system under the federal Help American Vote Act. The Alfalfa County Election Board is located at 300 S. Grand Ave., Cherokee, and will be open for the mock election from 8:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. on Monday, January 9, through Thursday, January 12, 2012.

Out with the old, in with the new
AC commissioners start New Year in new digs, with new chairman By Roger McKenzie Two meetings, two different locations. The Alfalfa County commissioners met on Friday, Dec. 30 and again on Tuesday, Jan. 3. In between, the old year ended and the new one began. So, too, did the places the commissioners meet in the Alfalfa County Courthouse. At Friday’s meeting, they ended 2011 in their usual meeting place, downstairs in the room just inside the South Grand Avenue entrance. When their first meeting of 2012 took place on Tuesday, signs on the courthouse doors directed meeting attendees to the new commissioner’s meeting room inside the Commissioners’ office on the second floor. The room, newly decorated like the rest of the office, is somewhat smaller than the old meeting place, but with newly painted walls, new carpet, and new furniture, it is much more inviting than the more utilitarian space used before. And less noisy. All it lacks is new blinds for the window—which are on the way. Tuesday’s Meeting A new meeting place wasn’t the only thing new for the Alfalfa County Commissioners in 2012. As a first order of business, the commissioners elected District 3 Commissioner Ray “Toby” Walker as the commissioners’ board chairman. Doug Murrow, who held that post at Friday’s last meeting of 2011, was elected vice chairman. He represents District 1. Walker took over and, with some help from the other two commissioners, ran the meeting smoothly and ably. Commissioners passed a resolution calling for the annual Alfalfa County Fair Board election. Three members of the nine member board are elected on a
rotating basis. Filing for the positions in county’s three districts will open on Jan. 9 and run through Jan. 13. Candidates can file with the county clerk if they meet the established criteria, including living in the district for which they file. The election will take place on Jan. 25 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at three locations—each districts’ county barn or shop. All registered voters of Alfalfa County can vote, but they must reside in the district in which they vote. Commissioners also approved spending $483.68 per month for each county employee’s health, dental, and basic life insurance. That amount is virtually identical to last year’s county contribution, which was about 20 cents more. Because the commissioners met Friday, the number of road crossing permits approved at Tuesday’s meeting was down from normal numbers. However, five such permits were approved. Four of them were in District 1, while 1 was in District 2. In routine business, the commissioners approved minutes, blanket purchase orders, maintenance and operations warrants, appropriations, miscellaneous officers’ reports, highway consumables, and the maximum highway expenditures resolution. The latter called for a maximum of $2,645,188.54 for spending in January. Friday’s meeting At Friday’s meeting, one county employee demonstrated the Christmas spirit of helping out someone in need. Commissioners approved a sick leave donation from Lena Roach to Matt Tucker who has not been employed long enough to accrue sick leave. Thirteen road crossing permits were approved. And one of two John Deere
graders for District 1 was approved for lease purchase. One was not because its paperwork called for it to be financed for 60 months instead of the 84 months sought by the county. A correction to the legal description of an oil and gas lease agreement with Chesapeake Exploration was corrected. The commissioners also approved a request by the Alfalfa County Election board to allow it to get rid of a typewriter that is surplus property. A bridge conference report for District 1was approved. The report was additional to one approved about two weeks ago. Routine business approved included minutes of the previous meeting, maintenance and operations warrants, and payroll warrants.

Lynn Says
Pilot medical exams added at Share Medical Center By Lynn L. Martin The Share Medical Center announced this week that Dr. Elizabeth Kinzie, M.D., is now an approved Airman Medical Examiner. That is a great service to this area and will draw pilots from several directions. The FAA requires pilots to be examined by an official AME on a regular basis to make sure they are healthy enough to operate an aircraft. There are several classes of medical certificates. A Class I certificate is required for air transport pilots who fly large air-
craft. These pilots are required to be reexamined every six to twelve months depending if they are under or over 40. Class II and Class III certificates last longer. A Class II certificate is needed if you wish to fly with a commercial license. That type of license is for those who operate smaller aircraft for hire. A Class III certificate is needed for private pilots. Besides light planes, this category also includes specialty licenses such as gliders, hot air balloons, etc. A relatively new category is “sport pilot.” Only a valid car driver’s license is needed to prove medical condition on that one. The above is a very short summary of the FAA rules on the topic. Do not expect this presentation to cover all the nooks and crannies of the law. Dwindling Number of AME’s When I first moved to Alva, Dr. Hinkle provided such pilot medical examinations. Later, I went to Dr. Simon until he retired. I think Dr. Self provided the service for awhile and then dropped it because of the paperwork hassle and time required to go hear the FAA say how it should be done. So Alva has been at least a couple of decades without such a medical service. I hold a third class certificate. As
I recall, I visited an elderly doctor in Enid for a couple of renewals. He had reduced his practice to nothing but pilot examinations. He was probably in his 80’s. After he retired, I found an examiner in Wichita for one round. Then a Woodward physician started offering the service and I saw him every two years for a couple of renewals, then he moved. My last three medical certificate examinations have been by Dr. Neil Suther at Buffalo, Okla. On the last visit, about a year ago, he told me he was reducing his practice to maybe half time. Today, I made a call to Dr. Suther’s office and the secretary said he is very much full time but has talked about the half-time business for the last five years . . . so I should ignore that. He is still doing medical certificates and she commented, “He has added cosmetic surgery.” And I said, “Wow.” My point in reciting all the distant places I’ve had to travel is to show the difficulty in finding a physician who will perform the medical certificate examination. Besides the time needed for the examination, usually about an hour, the doc has to fill out a bunch of paper work and send it to the FAA, then there is the recurrent training the FAA requires in OKC that cuts into a physician’s other appointments when they have to travel for that. So I am delighted to hear the Share Medical Center has announced that Dr. Elizabeth Kinzie, M.D. is going to provide that service. I bet a lot of pilots will travel to Alva for this service. They’ve simply got to get the word out.

Kiowa woman and young son injured in single vehicle rollover By Yvonne Miller A seven-year-old boy remained in Pediatric ICU at Wesley Hospital in Wichita, Kan., Tuesday after he and his mother survived a single vehicle rollover crash Friday. Barber County Kansas Sheriff’s Deputy Justin Rugg said he received a call at 10:44 a.m., of an accident on TriCity Road, about five miles north of K2 Highway near Hazelton. Miranda Barnes, 28 of Kiowa, Kan., was northbound driving a 2000 GMC pickup on Tri-City Road. Her son Alex Gordon, an age 7 second grader at South Barber PK-6, was with her. Both wore seatbelts, Rugg said. Barnes reportedly told Deputy Rugg she had reached over to help her son with something when the vehicle left the roadway. The pickup then came back on the roadway and began rolling. Rugg said the pickup rolled at least twice, landing on the passenger side in the
southbound lane. Rugg said when he arrived, both mom and son had already climbed out of the vehicle. He said Alex appeared to have injuries in the facial and arm area and was talking at the scene. Rugg said Barber County emergency departments responded to the scene. Both mom and son were taken by Kiowa’s ambulance to the Kiowa District
Hospital. Miranda was treated and released, Rugg said. Alex was airlifted to Wesley Hospital in Wichita. When contacted by the Newsgram Tuesday morning, a spokesperson in Wesley’s Pediatric ICU listed Alex in serious condition. As of Monday afternoon, Deputy Rugg said he had not yet issued a citation in the accident.
Love Fund established for Alex Gorden
By Yvonne Miller In a separate article in today’s Newsgram, a story reports an accident involving South Barber 2nd grader Alex Gorden, age 7, and his mother Miranda “Mandy” Barnes of Kiowa. As reported, Alex remains in PICU in serious condition at Wesley Hospital in Wichita, Kan. Friends established a Love Fund in Alex’s name at People’s Bank in Kiowa.

South Barber’s Bryce Roberts wins $3000 Microsoft scholarship By Yvonne Miller A freshman at South Barber High School in Kiowa, Kan., Bryce Roberts said he was “extremely shocked” to be one of the five winners from Kansas High Schools for a $3,000 scholarship from Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS). Certiport, a leading certification solution provider for the global workforce and academic markets, sponsored a certification and essay-based scholarship program for Kansas high school students. In that contest, MOS awarded five $3,000 scholarships. This scholarship program was created to compliment the new initiative launched by the Kansas Department of Education to help high school students earn industry-recognized certification. South Barber Business Technology teacher Mary Ann Gillig had all her students take the certification test. She said, “I am very proud of Bryce.
All my students enrolled in Business Technology completed the test and Bryce scored very well. After being notified that he had qualified for scholarship consideration, he then wrote a 600 word essay on how he would use the word program in his life. This all happened in one week. Bryce demonstrated perseverance in accomplishing this task.” Since he is only in his first year of high school, Bryce said he’s not certain of his future plans, but said, “I lean toward a computer career.” That’s why it was not difficult for Bryce to write about how MOS can help him later in life. MOS does not specify students’ use of the $3000 scholarship, However, Bryce quickly said that his parents, Steve and Kay Roberts, said it will be used for a college fund. Right now he favors attending K-State. At SBHS Bryce plays football and basketball; is a member of KAYS and the Scholar’s Bowl team; is in Industrial Arts and Skills USA; sings in Vocal and plays in the Band.

Border Line Theatre holds auditions tonight and Sunday ‘Lend Me a Tenor’, a comedy with some singing By Yvonne Miller The holidays are history and it’s time to move on toward happenings in the spring. One of the highly anticipated events in this area is always the spring production of the Border Line Theatre in Kiowa, Kan. Patrons will be excited to know that the production is “Lend Me a Tenor,” a comedy with some singing, but not a musical. Auditions for the show are tonight (Wednesday) from 7 to 8 p.m., and Sunday, January 8 from 1 to 2 p.m. Tryouts are at the Kiowa Community Building.
The cast is comprised of four men and four women of varying ages. Border Line veteran actor and director Kevin Cox will again sit in the director’s chair. A Show of Chaos and Hilarity The show is certain to be hilarious with mistaken identities, innuendos and more chaos. Set in 1934, a renowned tenor is scheduled to sing the lead in Otello, a gala fundraiser for an opera company. The stage is set when his wife mistakes an autograph-seeker for a secret lover, and leaves a Dear John letter for her tenor husband.
Accidentally given too many tranquilizers to calm the jilted tenor, he passes out in his hotel room. Determined the show will go on, the opera company’s self-centered general manager gets an assistant to impersonate the tenor. You can only imagine the pandemonium that ensues – especially when the real tenor awakes and heads for the stage. Many appearances of “the tenor” through multiple doors will have the crowd laughing as hard as the plot is confusing. Show dates are the weekend of March 24 and 25; and March 31 and April 1. Watch the Newsgram for ticket sales and updates.
DUI charges filed in pickup accident By Jim Stout DUI charges were filed Dec. 28 against Travis Wayne Cooley, 18, Nash, after the vehicle he was driving crashed into a tree at the “T” intersection of Walnut and Fourth streets in Jet around 11 p.m. December 20. Cooley and his passenger, Joshua
Tyler Spleth, 20, of Medford were transported by Helena EMS to St. Mary’s Hospital in Enid where they were admitted in stable condition, according to the OHP report. OHP Trooper Matthew Wilczek reported Cooley was driving a 1989 Chevrolet pickup north on 4th Street and
ran through a T-intersection at Walnut striking a tree. Wilczek’s report said condition of the driver was DUI with the cause listed as drinking/ability impaired. A hospital spokesperson said the next day that both Cooley and Spleth had been treated and released.

Ana Wilhelm wins local and district ‘Patriot’s Pen’ contest By Yvonne Miller “Are You Proud of Your Country?” Ana Wilhelm is. Her writing proves it. Entering the national Veteran’s of Foreign War (VFW) annual Patriot’s Pen essay contest, the South Barber 8th grader won the local contest and recently the district contest. Ana’s essay is now under consideration at the state level. She entered the contest at the local level through the Kiowa Post No. 5982 and Auxiliary.
South Barber 8th grader Ana Wilhelm wrote an essay that won the local and district level and is now under consideration for the state VFW Patriot’s Pen Essay Contest.
The post presented her with a $50 bond and the auxiliary gave her an additional monetary gift. She read her essay at Kiowa’s Veterans Day celebration at SBHS. As District winner she received a $100 savings bond. When asked what inspired her writing, Ana said, “It’s awesome to hear about when the soldiers come home and even when they don’t. They make and have made sacrifices that none of us here at home have to think about it. For that I am so appreciative.” The daughter of Dr. Paul and Mary Ellen Wilhelm of Kiowa, Ana wrote her essay in teacher Melva Armbruster’s class. Ana’s essay regarding the national contest theme, “Are You Proud of Your Country?” follows: “Am I proud of my country? To ask some people this question would be the equivalent of asking them if they were proud of being able to take a breath. Without it they wouldn’t be able to function, but they don’t stop to think what a blessing it is to be able to do it. To those people our country is like that, taken for granted. “For others the answer would be an unhesitated yes. Those would be the people who know enough to understand how much our country has sacrificed to be “ONE NATION INDIVISIBLE.” They understand how many people, despite their differences in religion and politics came together to work for a
common belief in freedom. But for me? Am I proud of my country? Pure and simple . . . Yes. “How could you ask me if I am proud of the country made up of people who value life so much they are willing to sacrifice their own lives for other people and expect me to say no? Our country doesn’t only value the lives of our own country, but the lives of others of other countries. For instance, we have sent soldiers oversees to Iraq, so they can help the people of that country fight for their people. This is only one of the many times we have lent a hand to a less independent country. “To the men and women who were and are willing to risk everything for my freedom, our freedom. I owe my pride of this country. I owe them my pride, my freedom, and my chance to live and be anything I want to be. I get to be part of a country where all these things matter. I don’t deserve to be here. I could have been born to another family in a different country and never have been able to experience this freedom. But through the grace of God, I am here in a wonderfully free country. “Our country is not perfect, but through trial and error we have learned from our mistakes. We haven’t stopped making them by any means and are still learning, but what country isn’t? As a matter of fact, who isn’t? I don’t believe anyone isn’t. So I am proud to say, I am proud of my country. Are you?”

Wakita proposes faithbased correctional facility A partnership of the Town of Wakita and non-profit Corrections Concepts, Inc. have offered to build and manage for utilization by the State of Oklahoma, Habilitation House, the first truly faithbased corrections facility in the country. This Faith-Based/Work-Ethic Corrections Initiative will provide cost-effective recidivism and crime rate reduction and the application of Judeo/Christian principles to confront the problem and not just the symptoms of our criminal justice system. This viable concept with all its detailed documentation has been presented to the Appropriations Sub-Committee on Public Safety chaired by Rep. Lisa Billy and in presentations endorsed, scheduled, and hosted by Sen. Patrick Anderson to Attorney General Scott Pruitt and his senior staff, to Oklahoma Department of Corrections Director Justin Jones, and in conversations with
Speaker Kriss Steele and Don Millican, co-chairs of the Working Group for Justice Reinvestment. When implemented, this communityoriented, cost-effective, medium-security reentry facility will accommodate offenders in their last 12-30 months from their earliest release date who volunteer to be transferred. They will be provided education, health care, counseling, wages for learning a marketable skill, a moral compass, and funded mentorship upon release. This positive-choice making, American Correctional Association, (ACA) accredited environment with its staff of dedicated, faith-living role models further prepares the offender for reentry. All of these elements are giant steps in the direction of returning the offender to society as a contributing citizen. The components necessary to achieve short and long term successes are ready for
implementation: non-government private financing,(the all- inclusive perdiem requires no capital investment), community acceptance/involvement, vocational training/job placement, alcohol/drug abuse holistic treatment, education/literacy/college programs, victim restitution, earned savings account for release, family supporting/reuniting, and more importantly, the teaching and instilling of moral and social values, not by imposition and indoctrination but by availability and example and a unique provision of services plan, greatly reducing recidivism. Many politicians go to their graves with unspent political capital while waiting on the better deal. That better deal may only come once in a lifetime. Returning offenders to society as responsible, accountable, and productive citizens See Facility Page 46

Waynoka Teams Up for the Holidays Chesapeake employees in the Waynoka, Oklahoma, field office decided to have a little fun — and some friendly competition — as part of this year’s H.E.L.P. (Helping Energize Local Progress) for the Holidays campaign by identifying opportunities to assist people and organizations across their operating area. Separating into 14 teams, employees from Chesapeake Operating Inc. (COI), MidCon Compression, Chesapeake Midstream Partners (CMP), and Great Plains Oilfield Rental joined their field office project, “Waynoka – Teaming Up for the Holidays,” which enabled them to complete 19 projects benefiting 10 communities. Through various fundraising efforts, vendor partnerships and employee donations, the groups raised more than $26,000 to help improve the lives of others this holiday season. With projects such as collecting more than 200 pounds of nonperishable food items for the Waynoka Food Pantry and gathering more than 100 new or gently used coats to be donated to area school chil-

dren, Waynoka employees spread holiday cheer and kindness in their own backyards. “This year’s campaign has truly enabled us to touch many lives throughout our area,” said Mandy Whipple, Office Administrator in the Waynoka field office. “The generosity of our employees and the dedication of the holiday team leaders have far exceeded any of our expectations.” From Toys for Tots and the Woodward Youth Shelter to the Northwest Domestic Crisis Center and the Woods and Alfalfa county departments of Human Services, many individuals were given a brighter, merrier holiday season due to the selfless acts of local employees. “There are some amazing people who work for this company,” said Mary Gaskill, Production Assistant in the Waynoka field office. “I am so proud to take part in an effort that is bestowing goodwill and compassion to those in dire need during cold winter months. My fellow colleagues did a fantastic job, and I could not be more appreciative to work at such an incredible company that places such a strong emphasis on giving back to our communities.” The complete list of projects for “Teaming Up for the Holidays” includes: Waynoka Food Pantry: 100 pounds of food donated Toys for Tots Oklahoma: $1,200 raised through a dodge ball tournament
