Barbecue fire spreads to house

By Roger McKenzie A malfunction in a propane cylinder used with a barbecue grill caused a few anxious moments and ignited a portion of the exterior of a house at 221 Locust Street on Monday. The alarm was called in at 3:18 p.m. and the first unit of the Alva Fire Department was on scene at 3:20 p.m.

The fire was quickly extinguished and a lot of the effort seemed to be spent getting smoke out of the house. Firemen

stayed until just after 4 p.m.

Damage was minor and no one seemed to be injured. A resident of the house, Leon Shelton, caused some brief

excitement when he didn’t exit the home right away. However, he was escorted out by Trooper Randy McCullough with no apparent injuries.

Alva Fire Chief Kirk Trekell looks at a propane cylinder that may have malfunctioned causing a barbecue fire while a fireman looks for hot spots in the siding.

The fire spread to the house at 221 Locust Street on Monday afternoon. While any house fire is a major event, this fire produced little structural damage and produced no serious injuries. Photo by Roger McKenzie

Man charged with failing to register as a sex offender

Kaye and Merlin Reihm

Reihm’s celebrate 50th wedding anniversary Merlin and Kaye Reihm will be celebrating their 50 years of marriage on Saturday, August 11, at 6 p.m. at their home west of Aline.

Merlin and Kaye were married on August 12, 1962 in the old Aline United

Methodist Church. The couple have always lived in the Aline area and partner in their cattle and farming operation.

Assisting in hosting the event are their children, Sheri and Troy Lahr of Alva, Jennifer and Mitch Mahieu of Carmen and grandsons, Garret Lahr, Logan Bays and Grady Mahieu.

Merlin and Kaye request no gifts but cards, memories and best wishes may be sent to 50297 Aline Blacktop Rd., Aline OK 73716.

By Marione Martin Jimmy Wayne Burgess, 49, has been charged in Alfalfa County District Court with failure to register as a sex offender.

According to documents on file, on June 28 Alfalfa County Deputy Sheriff Blake Trekell received a report that Burgess was living with Robbin Cambell in Aline and that he was a sex offender.

He looked Burgess up on the Oklahoma Department of Corrections sex offender registry and found a man matching the name who was a level three lifetime sex offender. Trekell recognized Burgess as he had dealt with him in an earlier event in March of 2012 at a residence in Aline. He confirmed that Burgess was not registered with the Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Office.

Trekell went to the post office in Aline and asked a worker if she recognized the name Jimmy Burgess. She said she knew the man to be living with Robbin Cambell and that she had received mail for him.

She looked up the address as 601 Main Street in Aline, and Trekell recognized it as the address where he had spoken to Burgess four months ago. Trekell went to the residence but Burgess was not there.

He was told by Cambell’s daughter who lived nearby that they were in Enid.

On July 6, the sheriff’s office received a civil affidavit to be served to the occupants of a residence at PO Box 196 in Aline with the occupants listed as Robbin Cambell and Jimmy Wayne Burgess.

The failure to register charge was filed on July 10.

Alva man charged with rape of child

By Marione Martin An Alva resident has been charged in Alfalfa County District Court with rape involving a seven-year-old girl. Bradley Dene Andrews, 35, was charged July 10 with three counts of rape by instrumentation, three counts of first degree rape, and lewd molestation, all felonies. According to documents on file, the charges stem from activities at a residence in Nescatunga.

District Attorney’s Investigator Robert Banks filed documents in the case after being asked by DA Investigator Steve Tanio to assist in the investigation. Banks has had specialized training for investigations in child sex abuse, child interviewing and child abuse as well as many other areas.

On July 6, Banks went to the Alfalfa County Sheriff’s office where he spoke

to Deputy Blake Trekell who said he had been dispatched to Nescatunga in reference to the sexual assault of a sevenyear-old female. Trekell said he spoke to numerous witnesses who stated the child told them she was sexually assaulted by Bradley Andrews at a residence in Nescatunga. The witnesses said the girl told them Brad tried to make her have babies and kill her. She also told them Brad tried to have sex with her twice in the bedroom and once in the bathroom of his house there. Trekell told Banks the location of Andrews’ residence.

Banks also spoke with Tanio who had conducted a forensic interview with the juvenile. Tanio said the child told him Andrews was a friend of her mother’s.

He picked her up from her residence in Alva on June 27 and took her to his trailer in Nescatunga where she stayed until

July 3. She described the three incidents including colors of clothing they were wearing. She told Tanio that Andrews told her “If you tell anyone I’ll be angry and kill you.” She said she saw several sharp knives in the trailer. She also told Tanio that Andrews took several pictures of her with his cellphone.

Banks prepared an affidavit for a search warrant for the trailer/residence of Andrews which was signed by Associate District Judge Angle. Investigators and members of the Alfalfa County Sheriff’s department served the search warrant.

During a post-Miranda video interview, Andrews admitted to Banks that he had sexually assaulted the girl and described the three incidents, which all occurred in Nescatunga in Alfalfa County.

Council considers increased taxes for tight City of Kiowa budget

By Yvonne Miller Kiowa’s City Council talked at length about numerous items at their more than three-hour July monthly meeting. One of most eye-opening items was an already tight budget that can’t afford more cuts to such things as street maintenance. The council seriously discussed a possible tax increase as a solution.

All members attended the meeting including Mayor Brandon Farney, Mark

Lambert, Brandon Poland, Russel Molz, Brian Hill and Bill Watson. Also at the council table were City Administrator Nathan Law, City Clerk Marlo Rugg and City Attorney Laurel McClellan.

Law presented a 2013 budget review to the council drafted after a special council meeting June 25. One of the changes included the addition of a general fund transfer to capital improvements for the bowling alley demolition project and splitting the bowling alley project over two budget years.

After hearing from department heads about proposed increases in spending, Law discussed expenditure reductions with them.

One of those possibilities is remov-

ing the recycling center operations from the city. City employees spend time there breaking down and crushing boxes and compressing recyclables for transportation. They also haul the recycle trailer around town to various business to pick up cardboard boxes. Cost of those action is estimated at $6,309. 36 in the 2013 budget.

The city also pays utilities and other costs at the Recycle Center totaling an estimated $5,150. Law said the city received $4,757 in 2011 for 95 tons of recycled materials.

“We might save about $5,000 a year.

Is it worth shutting down [the recycle See Kiowa Page 36

Lynn Says

A lot of Alva folks did well

By Lynn L. Martin We received an account of a very interesting experience some out-of-town travelers had in Alva.

After a bit of length reduction, here’s the story: Bill Powell, production training manager for Seaboard Foods and a resident of the Oklahoma Panhandle, recently had a very positive experience in Alva. He wrote the newspaper wanting to recognize all the assistance provided to him and to his family. “I hope you can help me in getting the word out about the kindness and generosity of Alva’s finest!” he said.

Powell grew up near Bartlesville and made a trip to his father’s home for his birthday and to buy hay for his horses.

Powell left earlier to clear the old hay out of the barn in preparation for the new supply, with his wife and kids bringing the new hay later.

The approximately four tons of hay was loaded on a borrowed flatbed trailer and into the back of the truck. Immediately, his wife had problems with a tire on one axle that kept throwing the tread.

As she approached Medford, she lost the tire. Powell told her not to put the last spare on but to remove the wheel and proceed with just three wheels on the trailer to Alva.

Meanwhile, he made arrangements to borrow a truck with a gooseneck hitch so he could pull their gooseneck stock trailer and meet her in Alva to offload the hay. Mrs. Powell made it to the Walmart parking lot in Alva. Unfortunately, when Powell reached the northeast corner of NWOSU in Alva, his borrowed truck lost the power steering and power brakes. He made it to Walmart to meet his wife.

Checking the truck, Powell saw the serpentine belt had come off. He bought some tools and flashlights in the store, where he was approached by a man asking if he managed to get his truck running. When Powell explained, the man offered to help when he and his family finished their shopping.

Powell started working on the truck.

“I could not get anything to work right for me. I am at my wits end when the gentleman from inside the store showed up to offer his help.” He said the kind stranger looked things over and started calling people who might come to the rescue. A mechanic he reached talked them through troubleshooting, and they found the problem. The bearing on the pulley for the water pump had gone out.

All the parts stores were closed so Powell decided they should get a motel room.

That’s when his helper mentioned the oilfield boom in the area and the shortage of rooms. He did some more calling and found a room. Powell followed him to the Holiday Motel where the lady in the office refused payment. “Nothing, no charge,” she said. She explained that they keep one room open for emergencies and their situation fit the need for the room.

Powell then went back to join his family in moving the hay from the flatbed to the stock trailer. The helpful man and his son were helping Powell’s wife

and son move the hay. That’s when Powell was shown the man’s Alva Police Department badge and learned the off-duty officer’s name, Ron Vasquez. The officer and his son helped until all the hay was transferred.

The next morning, Powell was unable to find the needed part in Alva. He contacted the mechanic from the night before who said he would do a service call once he had the parts. Powell had to make a trip to Enid to buy the parts from a Dodge dealership. On his return to Alva, he was unable to make contact with the mechanic so called on Vasquez for assistance. Within minutes, Vasquez had Kenny and Allen Shafer of Shafer Auto Repair lined up to handle the repairs. The Shafers even loaned them their car so the family could go out to eat while they made the repairs. In a couple of hours, Powell was on the road with both trucks and both trailers.

“My experience over those 24 hours in Alva has renewed my faith in generosity and absolute kindness from total strangers,” wrote Powell. “I take pride in offering assistance to people that I see in need, in my professional and my private life. I try to teach to my children that you get what you give; you get treated as you treat others. These fine, gracious people that came to our aid were truly a blessing to me and my family. They all went out of their way to help a total stranger in need.”

“They deserve more recognition than what I can give and just publishing this story would only be a small part of the recognition they deserve,” Powell continued. “I hope that they are never in need of assistance, but if they ever are, they can count on me to help in whatever way I am able.”

Cowboys and Chrome Truck Show to be held Big Rig Show held in conjunction with Hardtner Rodeo A Cowboys ‘n Chrome Truck Show will be held in conjunction with the Barber County Rodeo in Hardtner on July 28.

The show is open to anyone with a truck, whether it’s a custom, classic, farm truck or any other big rig.

The show will begin at noon and run through the end of that night’s rodeo.

Admission for the public is purchase of a rodeo ticket for the July 28 rodeo.

The Cowboys and Chrome show is the brainchild of rodeo committee member Darin Alexander. “Trucks are a real part of everybody’s life,” he said. “It’s

America. It’s what has made America, moving products across the nation.”

And people are fascinated with trucks, too, Alexander said. “Whether you’re seven years old or 70, you like chrome and big fancy trucks. You can’t help but turn your head when a big fancy truck goes by.”

Buckles will be awarded to best of show, best interior, and other categories.

Registration for truckers is free, and voluntary donations will be taken for breast cancer research, as that night’s rodeo is the Tough Enough to Wear Pink performance.

The rodeo begins at 8 p.m., and truckers receive VIP seating at the rodeo.

The truck show appeals to a variety of people, Alexander said. “What little kid doesn’t like to hear an air horn going through town?”

Major sponsors for the Cowboys and Chrome Truck Show are Doonan Peterbilt of Great Bend and Wichita, Kan., Jeremy’s Paint and Body Shop, Sterling, Kan., and Sturgeon Truck and Tractor, Meno.

For more information on the Cowboys and Chrome Truck Show, call Alexander at 620-886-0436.

Sheriff’s swap, estimate of needs, road crossing permits top Alfalfa commissioners’ meeting

By Roger McKenzie A swap of two well-used vehicles in the Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Department inventory for two storage lockers that will be installed in the department’s Chevy Tahoes kicked off a pretty routine meeting of the Alfalfa County commissioners on Monday. The trade approved by the county district attorney’s office, involves 2001 and 2004 Ford Crown Victoria vehicles. One of those vehicles is not running.

An estimate of needs for the county’s general fund was approved for the 2012-13 fiscal year. The total of $1.88 million is only about 58 percent of revenue already received, an indication of the good times fueled by the oil and gas boom. The county general fund has approximately $3.23 million in it already, from carryover funds and sales tax revenues. That leaves about $1.3 million to be carried over to the following year.

If the sales tax revenue continues at its current level or even it if drops a little, the county general fund will be able

to add almost a whole year’s worth of sales tax revenue to the carry over for 2013-14.

“We’re in excellent shape this year,” said Commissioner Chad Roach. Commissioner Doug Murrow agreed, adding that this year would be a good time to take care of some capital needs like replacing the courthouse boiler and updating its electrical wiring.

The county budget for fiscal 2012, which began July 1, always seems to run late. It is currently being prepared.

A total of 30 road crossing permit requests were approved by the commissioners. The fees generated by the permits totaled $41,500. Fifteen of the permits, and $10,250 in fees were for District 1. District two received $9,250 from 10 permits. District 3, which typically gets fewer permit requests and less in fees, received just five permits. But those permits will bring in $22,000.

County Treasurer Valerie Vetter had her report on the condition of the County’s Resale Property Fund ac-

cepted. It showed a current balance of $78,371.02.

A resolution to divide payments to the Association of County Commissioners for workers’ compensation insurance and liability and property insurance was approved. The highway fund will pay 80 percent and the county general fund will pay 20 percent of those payments.

The commissioners approved the appointment of Rex Sunderland as a new board member for the Necatunga Fire Department. They also voted to hire, after a brief executive session, Robert Sanborn to fill an opening on the courthouse’s maintenance and janitorial staff.

A private property easement to place trees removed from ditches on property near Goltry was approved.

Interim County Clerk Laneta Unruh gave commissioners a heads up on “something we’re thinking about.” She said she was favorably impressed by an e-recording file system presented by a company called Simplifile. If the county implements it, it would allow companies such as oil and gas firms, as well as attorneys who represent a variety of businesses to send documents electronically to the courthouse.

Unruh noted that “counties to the south of us” are signed up to use this new service.

In routine business, the commissioners approved minutes of their previous meeting, maintenance and operations warrants, the county treasurer’s monthly report, and the consumable items report.

it.”

Johnson was born in Denver and grew up in Petaluma, Calif., where he graduated from high school. Then he joined the U.S. Army, completing his basic training in Missouri. He was stationed in Germany for a while and did tours in Kosovo and Iraq. He was also stationed statewide in California then at Ft. Carson in Colorado Springs, Colo.

“I wanted to be in the military my whole life – I’ve always been been a fan of and had a fascination with explosives and weapons,” Chief Johnson said. “I chose the engineers ‘cause I did a little of everything.”

In Iraq as a combat engineer Johnson did route clearance (to rid the roads of bombs) and helped train members of the Iraqi army and police force.

Referring to those Iraqi trainees, Johnson described them as, “really motivated for the most part and excited to be there.”

He attended an unexploded ordinance school, a division of the Army Corps of Engineers. Once out of the army, Johnson worked as a correctional officer at the prison in Burlington, Colo., for a year.

He worked as a police officer in Goodland, Kan., for two years. Then Johnson heard about the open chief position in Kiowa.

“My family is glad to be here. We’re looking for a bigger house. Almost daily we get tips. People here are so friendly and very helpful. Kiowa is a great community,” the new chief said.

Besides Chief Johnson, Kiowa’s Police Department has two officers: Ryan Laney and new officer Robert McGoth-

lin, who is still training at the academy.

“We’re getting along okay now,” Chief Johnson said of the police department. He said they cannot offer 24-hour coverage, but officers are on call most of the time. Chief Johnson said the Barber County Sheriff’s Office “is good to work with – very helpful.”

When asked about crime in Kiowa since he’s been here, Chief Johnson said calls have been “mainly about enforcing the noise ordinance.”

Describing himself, Chief Johnson said, “I love to be able to help people – to be the person to assist people.”

As for any hobbies, he said, “I like being with my family – playing with the kids. I have the support of my family.

Other than attending church, that’s about all I have time for right now.”

Bogus check charge filed

By Marione Martin An Oklahoma City man is accused of writing a bogus check for $18,000 in Dacoma in Alfalfa County. According to documents on file, on Nov. 29, 2010, Steve Thrower, 55, of Oklahoma City, wrote the check, drawn on Coppermark Bank, in exchange for money, property or valuable thing, to an employee of Jim Leslie. The check was not honored by the bank and markings show the defendant did not have sufficient funds on deposit for payment in full of the check.

Rodeo announces personel Trick rider, barrelman, announcer to entertain in Hardtner, Kansas Fans of the Barber County Rodeo will get a real treat when they come to Hardtner July 27-28.

Oklahoma cowgirl, Dusta Kimzey, will trick ride, Nate

Nate Reed, Buckeye, Arizona, will provide the laughs at this year’s Barber County Rodeo in Hardtner July 27-28.

Reed will provide the humor and comedy, and announcer, Troy Goodridge, will keep fans informed.

Dusta Kimzey, who lives in Strong City, Kan., grew up going to rodeos with her barrelman and clown father, Ted Kimzey. When she and her younger brother, Trey, attempted to trick ride, their mother was quick to act. “My mom thought I was going to kill myself trying, so she sent me to a (trick riding) camp in Colorado.” Dusta was 12 years old at the time.

“We were all standing up on the horses and she came out there and thought we should learn to do it right.”

At the age of 15, Dusta started trick riding at amateur rodeos. Rodeo was in her blood. “It was something I was raised to do.” Just last year, she got her Pro Rodeo Cowboys Association card and has entertained at rodeos in Cheyenne, Claremore, Woodward, Clovis, N.M., Bennington, Kan., and Harrison, Ark. Her younger brother, Trey, age 13, works with her. Their troupe is called Tricked Out Trick Riders.

Dusta was stunt woman on a movie filmed in Oklahoma this spring. Called “Cowgirls and Angels.” She did all the trick riding in the movie, and was even cast as a trick rider for the show. The movie came out in select theaters in June.

Rodeo clown and barrelman Nate Reed has been making rodeo fans laugh for 16 years. The Buckeye, Ariz., cowboy got his start as a bull rider, then bullfighter, but after a severe leg injury, he turned to the comedy side. His acts include a spaceship alien, an outhouse act, and Reed owns the world’s fastest homing pigeons. This will be his first year in Hardtner, Kan. Calling the action from the announcer’s stand will be Ft. Scott, Kan., cowboy Troy Goodridge. Troy grew up in Iowa and attended college at Ft. Scott, where he rode bulls. He continued his bull riding in the Pro Rodeo Cowboys Association, but after injuries, stepped into the announcer’s role.

He loves the excitement of rodeo. “I like to see those fast runs, and a great bull ride or bronc ride. That’s what drives me. The competitive spirit I had as a contestant still lives within me.” This is Troy’s third year at Hardtner, Kan..

This year’s Barber County Rodeo is July 27-28 at 8 p.m. each night in Hardtner, Kan. It is held in conjunction with the Barber County Fair. Tickets are available at the gate and are $10 for adults.

45th Infantry Division subject of newest mural Mural society in need of photographs

By Julie Whiteman General George S. Patton described the men of the 45th Signal Company of Alva as “one of the best if not THE best division in the history of American arms.”

Few things have earned Alva’s place in the history of the world like the 45th Signal Company and the prisoner of war (P.O.W.) camps once located where the Woods County Fairgrounds are now located.

Forging ahead in their determination to make Alva the mural capitol of the nation, the Alva Mural Society elected to feature the 45th Infantry Division and the P.O.W. camps in two seperate murals to be painted in downtown Alva soon.

Artist Robbie Pierce returns to Alva to do the job. Pierce contributed his talents previously to the Nathan Boone mural, the Woods County Courthouse mural and the Alva Santa Fe Depot mural.

While Pierce has already laid the

rough design of the mural on paper, photographs of both the 45th Division and the P.O.W. camps are needed to work out all the details.

Alva Mural Society member Norville Ritter said Pierce has a personal passion for military art and was the perfect artist for this particular job.

The 45th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army was a major formation of the Oklahoma Army National Guard from 1920 to 1968. The guardsmen fought in both World War II and the Korean War. They trace their lineage from frontier militias that operated in the Southwestern United States throughout the late 1800s.

The 45th Infantry Division guardsmen saw no major action until they became one of the first National Guard units activated in World War II in 1941.

They took part in intense fighting during the invasion of Sicily and the attack on Salerno in the 1943 Italian Campaign.

Slowly advancing through Italy, they fought in Anzio and in Monte Cassino.

After landing in France during Operation Dragoon, they joined the 1945 drive into Nazi Germany that ended the War

in Europe.

After a brief deactivation and subsequent reorganization as a unit restricted to Oklahomans, the division returned to duty in 1951 for the Korean War. It joined the United Nations troops on the front lines during the stalemate of the second half of the war, with constant, low-level fighting and trench warfare against the People’s Volunteer Army of China that produced little gain for either side. The division remained on the front lines in such engagements as Old Baldy Hill and Hill Eerie until the end of the war, returning to the U.S. in 1954.

The division remained a National Guard formation until its deactivation in 1968 as part of a downsizing of the Guard. Several units were activated to replace the division and carry on its lineage. Over the course of its history, the 45th Infantry Division accrued over 25,000 battle casualties, and its men were awarded nine Medals of Honor, twelve campaign streamers, the Croix de Guerre and the Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation.

Murals of the 45th Infantry and the P.O.W. camps will be located on the Hadwiger and Brunstetter buildings on the downtown square in Alva.

Anyone with photographs that can be loaned to the Alva Mural Society can drop them off with Norville Ritter at R&R Systems at 613 Barnes, or call 580-327-3786.

Medicine Lodge Hospital in a pilot program to provide VA health services closer to home

By Yvonne Miller Medicine Lodge Memorial Hospital Chief Executive Officer Kevin White is pleased to offer health care services for veterans.

White said the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) implemented a pilot program to provide health care services through contractual agreements with non-VA case providers. This pilot, Project ARCH (Access Received Closer to Home), intends to improve access for eligible veterans by connecting them to health care services closer to their residences.

The service is immediately available at the Medicine Lodge Hospital, White said. Five pilot sites were established across the country. Project ARCH services will be offered in northern Maine; Farmville, Va.; Pratt, Kan.; Flagstaff, Ariz.; and Billings, Mont. Medicine Lodge Memorial Hospital and Physician Clinics were designated as a primary care facility for the Pratt, Kan., service area.

Eligibility for the pilot program is based on specific criteria including enrollment for VA health care and distance from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) for primary care, secondary care or acute care. The number of veterans

eligible to participate in Project ARCH will depend on the specific pilot site and the veteran’s health care needs.

Veterans can find out if they are eligible for the local services by contacting the Medicine Lodge Physicians Clinic at 620-886-5949 or 620-930-3761.

The care coordinator will work with individual veterans to help assess eligibility. They’ll also help interested eligible veterans complete applications and will work closely with non-VA providers. The care coordinator will also monitor the veterans’ care while they are being seen by the contracted providers.

The VA will pay a negotiated contract rate for the services provided by non-VA providers. All veterans who participate in Project ARCH will still have responsibility for co-payments, if applicable.

Veterans are eligible to participate in the program if they reside in a location where a pilot site is located and if they are enrolled for VA health care when the program starts, AND meet any of the following criteria: • Live more than 60 minutes driving time from the nearest VA health care facility providing primary care services, OR • Live more than 120 minutes time distance from the nearest VA health care facility providing acute hospital care,

OR • Live more than 240 minutes driving time from the nearest VA health care facility providing tertiary care.

Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) veterans and veterans who served on active duty in a theater of combat operations or in combat against a hostile force during a period of hostilities after Nov. 11, 1998, do not need to be enrolled for VA health care when Project ARCH starts. They will need to meet the above mentioned drive-time criteria and enroll in VA in order to participate in the program.

Veterans must use those providers to participate in Project ARCH. Participation in Project ARCH, however, does not affect eligibility for fee-basis services.

Care coordinators will work closely with contracted non-VA providers to ensure they have all of the necessary clinical information from veterans’ medical records. The care coordinator will also ensure VA receives information from non-VA providers to keep medical records up to date.

Veterans with questions about participating may email AskProjectArch@ va.gov. (Please do not include personal medical information via this unprotected email route.)

Early registration deadline nears for one of Midwest’s premiere beef meetings

By Tim Marshall The deadline for early registration, which ends Friday, August 3, is almost here for the K-State Beef Conference, one of the Midwest’s premiere beef meetings.

Kansas State University Research and Extension will host the 2012 K-State Beef Conference on Thursday, August 9, at Kansas State University’s Frick Auditorium in Mosier Hall.

An interactive webcast will be offered at the 4-H Center on the Pratt (Kan.) County Fairgrounds. The satellite location in Pratt is being offered again this year in an attempt to help reduce the travel time of beef producers in central

and southwestern Kansas and make it more convenient for them to participate.

On August 9, the conference will begin with registration at 8 a.m. and the program will start at 9 a.m. The program includes the following presentations and speakers: • 2012 Farm Bill and U.S. Economic Outlook: Its Impact on the Kansas Ag Sector – Troy Dumler, K-State Agricultural Economist.

• Changes in the INS and OUTS of the Cow Business – Glynn Tonsor, KState Agricultural Economist.

• Apply Lessons Learned from Drought – Justin Waggoner, K-State SW Area Beef Systems Specialist and Bob

Weaber, K-State Cow/Calf Specialist.

• Define Your Product – Chip Ramsay, Rex Ranch, Neb., and Warren Weibert, Decatur County Feedyard, Kan. • Weather Patterns / Global Warming and Implications for Agriculture? – Evelyn Browning-Garris, Climatologist For those attending the event at the Manhattan, Kan., site, where the even is being held, registration is $60 per person ($100 for couples), but those who register after August 3 will not be guaranteed all of the materials or the meal.

center]?” Poland asked. “There’s only so much we can cut and we’re about there.”

Another possibility is reducing the recommended $17,000 increase for 2013 street work. Law said the annual general fund transfer of $90,000 to street/highway could be reduced to $40,000.

“I know opposition to increased sales tax was already voiced, but people are going to complain about dirt streets,” Lambert said.

Mayor Farney said, “We can’t keep drawing from our electric fund.”

Poland suggests looking at privatized trash service. Watson disagreed.

Molz opted for raising trash rates “instead of being so cheap.” Hill agreed to raise trash rates. Poland suggested the administrator get concrete figures first before the council sets any rate increase.

Other budget cuts considered include eliminating annual pay adjustments ($11,330.57), eliminating $70,000 for bowling alley demolition and $20,000 for Chief Theater improvements and eliminating planned maintenance and improvement of utilities.

Law said, “We’re already bare bones on maintenance.”

The administrator mentioned numerous tax options and non-tax options like increased fees.

To increase sales tax the question would have to appear on the ballot for voters to decide. The council directed Law to get information about putting the sales tax question on the November ballot. $25,000 Unaccounted Funds Savings Account Law brought to council’s attention a savings account with an approximate $25,000 balance. He said this account is not currently accounted for in city funds

or subject to the city audit. He was concerned about use of the city’s tax identification number with this account. Law said he’s learned the account is held by the city fire department.

The origin of the funds in the account was not certain, Law said, but people believe it was from the fire department hamburger and pie fund-raising events.

Mayor Farney, a volunteer firefighter, said he would check into the issue.

Another Zoning Issue Law said a single-wide manufactured home was put along Main St. Due to staff and the petitioner errors, the structure was installed in violation of current zoning regulations.

Instead of making the homeowner redo the foundation, they will be limited to a small uncovered front porch.

Regulations do not restrict the size of back porches or decks.

Police Vehicles and Radios Police Chief Steven Johnson discussed with council whether or not to replace the 2006 Dodge Charger. Estimated cost to repair the car is $800.

Council voted to pay for repairs and start seeking a newer police car to replace it.

Current police radios cannot handle the digital changeover. Changing to digital will cost about $15,000 for the repeater and necessary equipment. Chief Johnson said radio communication with the sheriff’s office department is currently very limited. The council wants to learn more and tabled any action.

More Subjects at Kiowa City Council Meeting • Again the council discussed rules and regulations from other towns on how they handle housing chickens in the city limits. This is due to the request

of a Kiowa resident to keep chickens penned in her yard. Council reviewed the information but took no action for the third consecutive month.

• Last month Justin and Megan Janda requested the city annex a piece of their property, known as Rusty Spur Lodging, located just north of D&W on the north end of Kiowa at Hardtner Street and K2 highway (southwest of the high school tennis courts). McClellan said Jandas withdrew their request.

• City received a bid from SC Telcom for Managed IT Service. The bid was for $2,250. Law said another local individual also bid but then said they could not devote enough time this service might require. Council discussed this issue at length and then tabled the issue until next month.

• Approved a $6,500 bid from Landwehr Roofing to put a new roof on the museum, • Council discussed lodging and other signage along main thoroughfares regarding KDOT regulations. They tabled any action.

• Council approved donating the rent of the community building for a PTO bingo fundraiser.

• Expenses will be paid for Law to attend a planning and zoning workshop in Wichita August 18. The panel topic is “Horizontal Drilling – Community Impacts and Concerns.”

• Law said the new projector for the Chief Theater is ordered. The roof problems will be addressed in August. He is checking in to the Turner’s Youth’s previous offer to pay $20,000 toward new theater seats.

• Poland thanked City Street Superintendent Gary Johnson for having the ball fields in such good shape for a tournament.

Colo., Okla. guvs in Detroit to talk natural gas DENVER (AP) — The governors of two natural gas producing states are in Detroit as part of an effort to push the use of vehicles powered by natural gas.

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin were meeting Monday with executives at Chrysler, General Motors and Ford.

They also planned to tour auto manufacturing plants and drive some natural gas vehicles.

Colorado and Oklahoma are among

13 states that have signed a memorandum promising to invest in natural gas vehicles when they replace older cars and trucks. The aim is to create new demand for domestically-produced natural gas as well as help make such vehicles more affordable for average buyers.

The other states that have signed on are Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.

2012 Barber County Cattlemen’s Tour

By Tim Marshall, County Agent Make plans to attend the Barber County Cattlemen’s Association Tour and Social on August 10 and 11. The trade show and social will kick off the events on Friday evening, August 10, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Parish Hall in Sharon.

On Saturday, August 11, the tour will begin with coffee and doughnuts at the OK Coop in Kiowa from 7:30 a.m. to 8 a.m. and end with a steak meal at the Parish Hall in Sharon at noon.

The trade show and social on Friday evening will feature 19 vendors displaying a wide variety of products and services. A fun and exciting auction is held at the social each year to generate funds for the Barber County Cattlemen’s Association.

These funds are used by the Cattlemen’s Association to support the activities of various groups in the county throughout the year. Over the past year, the Cattlemen’s Association has directly supported the youth of Barber County by giving added money to all 4-H and FFA beef exhibitors at the county fair and giving $4,000 in college scholarships to local students. Other activities of the Cattlemen’s Association are geared towards promoting beef and providing value to the membership through such things as supplying the beef and preparing the meal at several educational events and sponsoring meetings to help their members continue to stay on the cutting edge in managing their business. The Cattlemen’s Association also organized a fundraiser and appreciation supper for the rural fire departments in Barber County last October that raised over $25,000 for those

fire departments.

Each year the auction features on hand-made item that sports the brands of local ranches. The brand spots are purchased by the ranches and this money is used to pay for constructing the item, so every dollar bid for this unique and beautiful piece at the auction goes directly into the scholarship fund and to support the service projects of the Barber County Cattlemen’s Association. For 2012, a lever action Marlin Limited Edition Model 336 DL 30-30 rifle with a leather scabbard featuring local brands will be that memorable item.

Whether you are a past, current, or future member of the Barber County Cattlemen’s Association, a beef consumer, or simply a resident who is proud of Barber County, you are welcome to come and mingle at the social on Friday evening then enjoy the scenic drive and learn more about some local ranches on Saturday morning.

If you have any questions, please contact Tim at the Barber County Extension Office at 620-886-3971 or tmarshal@ksu. edu.

APNewsBreak: Widow revives 20-year-old murder case

By Brett Barrouquere LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Lisa Hill became a widow at age 21 when her young husband was shot and left to die in the New Mexico desert after he was kidnapped by two fugitives.

Two decades later, Hill says she is finally on the verge of getting justice for a killing that seemed overshadowed amid a crime spree that authorities say left at least three others dead and made headlines around the country. The two inmates had broken out of an Oklahoma jail and began a cross-country rampage that included another kidnapping and multiple robberies and car thefts.

With the men subsequently locked up for other crimes, the investigation of the New Mexico killing sat dormant until Hill’s recent efforts. Thanks to her urging, a New Mexico district attorney has secured indictments against Michael Dale St. Clair and Dennis Gene Reese on charges of capital murder and kidnapping in the death of 22-year-old Timothy Keeling.

The indictments were first disclosed to The Associated Press

by Reese in a phone call and confirmed by online court records.

Both men have discussed the case with the AP in a series of phone calls and letters.

Hill’s efforts included driving more than 800 miles from her home in Texas to hearings in Kentucky related to a killing there. She also met with Reese at a Kentucky jail about a year ago. After talking to Reese, she started a series of phone conversations with prosecutors in New Mexico and Kentucky.

Inmates who escaped Kansas jail face new charges

By John Milburn TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Three of the four inmates who broke out of a northcentral Kansas jail in April face new charges related to their escape.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt has charged Santos M. CarreraMorales, 22, Drew Edward Wade, 23, and Alberto Jon Barraza-Lujan, 23, with aggravated escape from custody and aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer in connection from their April escape from the Ottawa County Jail in Minneapolis, about 120 miles west of Topeka. The three have court dates scheduled in August and September to hear the new charges.

Schmidt’s spokesman, Jeff Wagaman, said Monday that charges are still

being reviewed for a fourth inmate, Eric James, 22.

The inmates were among 22 from the Ellsworth Correctional Facility who were being housed at the county jail in an effort to relieve overcrowding at the state prison. The arrangement was part of a contract the Department of Corrections had with a handful of county facilities.

Barraza-Lujan was serving time for attempted aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer in 2011. He was recaptured in Ottawa County shortly after the escape.

Wade, who turned himself over to law enforcement in North Platte, Neb., had been serving time for robbery and aggravated battery. Authorities said Wade was

driving a stolen tan 2005 Chevrolet Venture minivan when he turned himself in.

Carrera-Morales was recaptured in Russell, about 80 miles from the jail. He was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of a teenager and a young man in Sedgwick County in March 2007.

James was serving a state sentence for robbery and other crimes. He was the last of the four men to be recaptured when he was arrested by police in Omaha, Neb. Since the escape, state prison officials have purchased a former youth home in Ellsworth that will be renovated to house minimum security inmates to give additional bed space and prevent the need to outsource inmates to counties.

Muskogee commissions study after flooding lawsuits

By D.E. Smoot, Muskogee Phoenix MUSKOGEE, Okla. (AP) — City officials did nothing to contribute to flooding that damaged homes and belongings of property owners who live in a southeast Muskogee neighborhood, a study shows.

The city commissioned the $11,000 hydrological study as part of its defense against seven lawsuits seeking compensation for damages. Property owners say

the flooding “constitutes a substantial interference with the use and enjoyment” of their property.

The owners of seven homes in The Meadows Addition claim the city is responsible for “changing, diverting and increasing” the flow of surface waters.

Those modifications, homeowners say, contributed to flooding that damaged their homes and personal property four or five times during the past 15 years. The most recent flooding, the plaintiffs claim, occurred in May 2011.

Bart Fite, who was hired to represent the city, said the study traces the cause of the flooding to poor planning by the developer. Particularly, Fite said neighborhood streets crossing Sam Creek impede the flow of water during heavy rains. The addition was developed in the early 1970s before the area was annexed by the city.

“Those crossings down there are not large enough to drain the water that flows from 7,000 acres during heavy rainfall,” Fite said. “The crossings amount to just three boxed culverts that just aren’t large enough to carry the water out of the addition.”

A summary of the study’s findings, prepared in May by Zephyr Environmental Corp., states the seven properties

at issue and other parts of the addition lie within the 100-year floodplain. The study found peak discharges calculated for Sam Creek exceed the amount of water that can flow through two street crossings unimpeded.

Calculations performed by hydrologists show peak discharges along Sam Creek during heavy rain events exceed the capacity of the box culverts almost three times. The study concluded those conditions would contribute to “some level of flooding of the surrounding areas during both the 100-year and more frequent storm events.”

Fite said he intends to include the study’s findings in a motion he plans to file this week, asking the court to dismiss the plaintiffs’ claims.

The plaintiffs named in the seven lawsuits include Stanley and Linda Clark, Harold and LeAnne Cox, W.C. Cochran, Bobby L. and Linda K. Scoggins, Michael and Lori Carmen, Jerry and Marie Maxey, and Crystal Thompson.

Bob Rush, a lawyer with Logan & Lowery of Vinita, represents the homeowners. Rush, who said the firm does a lot of condemnation work across the state, has declined to discuss any evidence to support his client’s allegations.

GOP hopefuls tout credentials in Okla. debate

By Justin Juozapavicius CLAREMORE, Okla. (AP) — The two Republican candidates vying for an open congressional seat in eastern Oklahoma continued to snipe at each other in a debate Monday, with each trying to convince voters he is the most conservative man for the job.

George Faught, a three-term state representative from heavily-Democratic Muskogee, said he had the legislative experience to go to Washington, and said the citizens of the 2nd Congressional District deserve “someone who is proven, someone who is conservative and someone they can trust.”

Faught’s opponent, Markwayne Mullin, who owns a plumbing business, said he got into the race because he was fed up with government regulations that have directly affected his business, and told the crowd of about 150 inside a TV studio at Rogers State University in Claremore that “if we’re really going to make a change, then we’ve got to send a different type of (person) up there.”

The half-hour debate ahead of next month’s runoff election had a few sparks, with the main clash coming over a recent flap from what Faught claimed was Mullin’s lack of understanding of the health care overhaul championed by President Barack Obama.

Faught recently ran a commercial that showed a clip of Mullin saying he supported a “single-payer, single-pay system” when it comes to medical care, suggesting Mullin backed changes in the nation’s health care system.

But Mullin said he misused the term

“single-payer” and intended to say everyone should have their own stake in their care, not that it should be provided by the government.

The topic came up again at Monday’s debate, with Faught saying that Mullin “must have been too busy” to understand some of the health care provisions.

Some other tense moments came during a segment where the candidates were allowed to ask each other questions.

Mullin, citing President Ronald Reagan’s “11th Commandment” to not speak ill of a fellow Republican, asked Faught to sign a pledge that he would run a positive campaign.

Faught balked at the proposal, saying voters in the district needed to thoroughly vet the candidates and that candidates’ words mean something.

“It’s not a popularity contest,” Faught said.

“You’re willing to play politics as usual,” Mullin rebutted. “It’s a shame someone can take things out of context.”

Faught asked Mullin what two bills he would introduce first once he got to Washington; Mullin shot back that instead he would be looking to cut bills that contain rampant spending.

In closing remarks, Faught once again touted his conservative credentials, saying the choice to replace the open seat “is too important to get wrong.” “(We need) a qualified, proven conservative, and that’s me,” he said, Mullin also emphasized his conservatism and said his dealing with several federal agencies though his business

has prepared him for how government works.

“I’ve never done anything halfway,” Mullin said. “I will not let one person outwork us, and we’re going to help as many people as we can.”

Mullin and Faught were the top votegetters in a six-way Republican primary June 26. Mullin topped the field with 42 percent of the vote, and Faught finished second with 23 percent, forcing a headto-head matchup in an Aug. 28 primary runoff since neither topped 50 percent.

Two Democrats seeking the seat also face a runoff — longtime state and federal prosecutor Rob Wallace and Muskogee seed company owner Wayne Herriman.

Independent Michael Fulks of Heavener awaits the primary winners in the November general election.

The victor will replace Rep. Dan Boren, the lone Democrat in Oklahoma’s congressional delegation, who announced last year that he wouldn’t seek re-election from the district that sprawls across a swath of 26 counties in eastern Oklahoma. *** Capitol Correspondent Sean Murphy contributed to this report from Oklahoma City.

Okla. governor vice chair of governor’s group OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin has been named vice chair of the National Governors Association.

Fallin was chosen Sunday during the group’s closing session of its meeting in Williamsburg, Va. Delaware Gov. Jack Markell was named chairman of the organization.

Fallin is the first vice chair of the organization from Oklahoma and the first Republican woman to serve as vice chair. Markell is a Democrat.

The National Governors Association was founded in 1980. Its members come from all 50 states, territories and commonwealths.

Case

and push things through,” the 42-yearold Hill said in an interview last week.

New Mexico warrants for the extradition of St. Clair from Kentucky’s death row and Reese from the Oklahoma State Penitentiary should be finished by the end of the month. The two men could face the death penalty in New Mexico if convicted of Keeling’s slaying.

“Should they spend time in jail in New Mexico? Absolutely!” Hill said.

“Should they be given the death penalty?

Absolutely!”

Reese and St. Clair had long been suspected in the death of Keeling. Reese, 52, has admitted his role in the death but says he didn’t pull the trigger. The 55-year-old St. Clair denies the charges.

“I told him it would never be OK ... that I forgave him, but it would never be OK,” Hill said of her conversation with Reese. She has remarried and works as a mental health caseworker.

In a phone call to The Associated Press, Reese said he doesn’t plan to contest extradition.

“It ain’t no use to fight it,” said Reese. “I’m guilty. I just want to get it over with.”

However, St. Clair’s attorney in New Mexico said his client plans to fight the charges.

“Michael is taking a very active role in his defense,” Stephen McIlwain said.

In letters and phone calls with The Associated Press over the last four years, St. Clair has admitted to four slayings in Oklahoma for which he is serving time,

but repeatedly denied killing Keeling.

“I didn’t shoot that boy in New Mexico,” St. Clair said in 2010 phone call. “They tried to hang it on me, but I didn’t do it.”

Their run began when they broke out of the county jail in Durant, Okla., on Sept. 19, 1991. At the time, St. Clair was serving four life sentences for murder and Reese was awaiting trial on charges of strangling and beating a woman to death.

What happened after the breakout is detailed in court testimony, documents and interviews with St. Clair and Reese.

The most recent interview with Reese came in June, when he called The AP in response to a letter sent almost 18 months ago.

The pair stole a truck from a jail employee, then another truck when the first vehicle ran out of gas. They fled to Texas and boarded a Greyhound bus that took them to Denver, where they came across Keeling outside a grocery store.

St. Clair and Reese posed as buyers interested in purchasing Keeling’s truck, then kidnapped him. Reese drove as Keeling sat next to him and St. Clair held a .357 magnum revolver in the passenger seat.

During the drive, Keeling showed Reese and St. Clair pictures of his 18-month-old niece and talked about his life. As they approached Clayton, N.M., a small crossroads town, St. Clair told Reese he had to urinate and told Keeling to get out with him.

Reese said St. Clair shot Keeling twice before returning to the truck.

“He told me ... that shooting people was like shooting dogs,” Reese said in a phone interview. “Once you killed one, the rest was easy.”

Reese said he was afraid to protest the shooting.

“I know Michael; he would have shot me just as quick as he shot everybody else,” Reese said. “He needed me to drive; that’s all. I didn’t ever have the gun.”

St. Clair and Reese headed east through Texas, stopping in New Orleans for a few days before taking Keeling’s truck north through Tennessee, where law enforcement has identified them as the main suspects in the death of two store clerks. Later in Kentucky, they kidnapped and killed distillery worker Frank Brady near Elizabethtown after ditching and burning Keeling’s truck.

Reese fled the scene. Police caught him in Las Vegas several months later, where he almost immediately admitted to his role in the deaths of Keeling and Brady.

Police caught St. Clair not long after Brady’s death and since then, he’s been fighting charges, convictions and attempts execute him.

The probe of Keeling’s death sat dormant as Kentucky and Oklahoma prosecuted the men for other crimes.

District Attorney Donald Gallegos, whose territory covers Clayton, N.M., said initial decisions not to pursue the case were made before he took office.

Gallegos said Hill’s efforts prompted him to pull the file, which had been marked dismissed, out of a cabinet, and start the investigation anew. The indictments were issued in April.

Now, Gallegos has the responsibility of returning St. Clair and Reese to New Mexico to stand trial. Gallegos he hasn’t decided whether to seek capital punishment, which is a possibility since the crime took place before a 2009 moratorium on the death penalty.

“If things go the way I think they’ll go, they’ll never serve time in New Mexico,” Gallegos said. “But, my job is not to seek convictions, it is to seek justice.”

Reese said he’s just waiting for New Mexico officials to pick him up.

“I wish I could change what happened, but I can’t,” Reese said.

His remorse is of little comfort to Hill.

“Closure will never really come.

When you know someone like Tim, when someone like him touches your life, closure never really comes,” Hill said. “Instead, you just learn to cope.” *** Follow Associated Press reporter Brett Barrouquere on Twitter: http:// twitter.com/BBarrouquereAP
