Little Sunflower League team wins 8-U coach pitch state championship Down by four as they began their last at-bat, a team of All-Star girls from Kiowa, Kan.,, Alva, Medicine Lodge, Kan., and Attica, Kan., showed their grit in the most important game of their young lives. The 8 & Under Coach Pitch softball team from the Little Sunflower League came through with five runs to claim a 14-13 win in the championship game of the Kansas State Softball Tournament. The tournament was held July 13-15 in Wichita, Kan.. They came to the championship game through the loser’s bracket and faced the Kansas Blue Sox, the team that had gone through the tournament undefeated. They had to beat the Blue Sox twice to win the title. In the first game, they made it look easy, playing their most complete game of the tournament and winning 12-1. That set up the final game, which
was a back-and-forth affair. At the end of four innings, Little Sunflower League led 9-8. But the Blue Sox took a big 13-9 lead with five runs in the top of the fifth inning to move within three outs of the
championship. The Little Sunflower League girls did not give up, however, and matched their opponents with five See Sunflower Page 22

FISD approves contract for Supt. McCuiston, hires Hill as principal Carryover improves by over $100,000 from a year ago, Pre-k going to full day By Roger McKenzie Personnel items dominated the business of the Freedom Public School trustees at their board meeting Monday night. At the top of the list was the offering of a contract to new superintendent Danny McCuiston and the hiring of a new principal. They also hired a new elementary instructor and head cook and accepted the resignations of one teacher and an assistant cook. The school board tabled some personnel decisions, but approved the contracts for all returning certified personnel (12 positions) and support staff (six positions). Superintendent McCuiston. who was hired earlier this summer, was given a one-year contract. The board hired Brett Hill, formerly an English teacher at Byng High School in Ada, as the Freedom Public School Principal. The 29-year-old Hill has an administration certificate. He was offered a one-year contract. The new elementary teacher is Elizabeth (Katy) Ferguson. The new head cook is Norma Mullins. Resignations were accepted from high school teacher Anthony Lovelace (history and science) and from assistant cook Laurie Watson. Tabled was action on the hiring of Kent Bilyeu as a library media specialist. Also tabled was the hiring of an (unnamed) assistant cook/janitor. Also approved were extra duty as-
signments and pay for the 2012-13 school year. The 12 assignments ranged from federal programs ($3,500) to elementary basketball ($200). Superintendent’s Report In his first official Superintendent’s Report, McCuiston projected enrollment at 67, down slightly from last year, although it is hoped this figure will rise as the start of school approaches. He noted the district’s end-of-year fund balance, also known as its carryover, totaled $722,558.18. That is just over $100,000 more than a year ago. More good financial news was an increase of $2.2 million in assessed valuation. This will provide the district approximately $253,000 in extra revenue. The good news was tempered considerably by the fact that the state’s allocation for the district totals only $6,732, or about $100 for each (non-weighted) student this year. Some students count more than others. When the weighted average is counted, the amount is even less per student. McCuiston noted that in addition to painting and other ongoing improvements to get the school ready for opening day, the district will have to upgrade its computer system’s hubs and switches. That’s because the speed of the internet connection for Freedom Public Schools is increasing. The current setup cannot take advantage of the new, increased speed.
Pre-Kindergarten Expands to Full Day The district’s pre-kindergarten has only about two or three students, but Supt. McCuiston recommended and the board members approved increasing the program from a half-day to a fullday. The change will give extra learning time for the students and will help the school’s ADA because full-time kindergarten students receive more weight in state calculations. School Schedule and Calendar Changes At the recommendation of Supt. McCuiston, the board approved changing the school schedule to seven 55-minute periods instead of eight periods. The change will affect the school calendar because one Friday a month will now be a school day, albeit a shortened one. The half day Fridays will be for the students. Teachers will be required to spend the second half of the day in teacher inservice activities. McCuiston said the change will result in 170.5 days of instruction (plus two parent-teacher days) or a total of 1,106 hours, about 25 more than required. Another change in the calendar increases the Christmas break. Instead of returning on Jan. 3, students and teachers will now come back on Jan. 7. In other business, the Freedom trustees: • tabled action on new carpet for the school hallways and classrooms so that several vendor bids can be obtained. • tabled consideration of membership in the Northwest Administrator’s Association, Northwest Oklahoma School Business Officials Association, and the Cooperative Council of Oklahoma School Administration. The board was set to appoint Supt. McCuiston as the district representative to these organizations. • approved the use of OKTLE for use with the district’s teacher evaluation framework. The charge for use will be $24.75 per staff member. It sets up a data base and provides the evaluation See Freedom Page 31

Leaving the scene of an accident By Marione Martin A Cherokee man reportedly made insulting remarks to a woman and hit a mailbox while leaving. According to documents on file, on July 13 about 4:45 p.m. Charles Raymond Cox, 56, went to the residence of Seneca West at 120 N. Massachusetts in Cherokee looking for her husband Jason West. Mrs. West told Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Deputy Gebers that Cox came into the back yard where she was swimming and asked for her husband. He started insulting her about
her hair color. Mrs. West said he appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. She asked him to leave, and after a few minutes he did. After a few minutes Mrs. West heard a sound of metal on metal but didn’t pay attention to it. About 15 minutes later, as Mrs. West started to leave her residence, she noticed the mailbox was bent over with red paint transfer on it. Mr. West said he saw Cox drive away in a red Mazda extended cab pickup. About 5:15, Deputy Gebers located Cox outside a residence at the corner of Eighth and Oklahoma Ave. He saw a red Mazda extended cab pickup sitting in the yard with the driver’s side door open. Gebers asked Cox if he had hit a mailbox and he said no. Gebers could smell
a strong odor of alcoholic beverage coming from Cox. When he asked Cox if he had been driving drunk, he said no. He said he had been drinking but didn’t start until he got home. Asked if he reported to the property owner that he hit the mailbox, Cox said yes, he stopped and talked to them. Gebers told him the owners said he left the scene without reporting it. Gebers told Cox to step next to his patrol car, and he said no and started walking away. He picked up a cup on the ground and started to take a drink. Gebers took the drink away and eventually Cox walked to the patrol car where he was placed under arrest. He has been charged with public intoxication and leaving the scene of an accident, both misdemeanors.

Lynn Says
Common sense not present in many Facebook, Twitter posts By Lynn L. Martin For decades, home-owners who subscribe to newspapers that are delivered into the yard by carrier have been advised, “Suspend your subscription when you go on vacation so an accumulating pile of newspapers don’t signal to burglars you aren’t home.” Similar advice is suggested for deliveries of the U.S. Mail to your mailbox. If it looks like it is overflowing, it doesn’t take a real smart criminal to figure out no one is home and they can more leisurely break into your house. Recently, BBC News reported a 17-year-old girl visiting her grandmother in Australia took a picture of a “large sum” of cash they were counting and posted the photo on Facebook. Within about seven-hours, two masked-men with wooden clubs and a knife entered the girl’s home about 75 miles away from Bundanoon. Upon entering the family home, the men found the 47-year-old mother of the girl as well as a 58-year-old man and 14-year-old boy, likely her father and
brother. When speaking to the family, the two men wanted to talk to the girl about the sum of money in the picture that was posted on Facebook. After the girl’s mother convinced the two armed men that her daughter no longer lived at the address, they “took a small amount of cash and other personal property before leaving the house” according to the official police statement regarding the incident. While no one was injured during the robbery, it’s clear that the two men were able to determine the location of the home from information posted on the teenage girl’s Facebook account. It’s also possible that at least one of the two men were friends with the girl on Facebook and were aware of the location of her family’s home. Also within the official statement, the police reminded the public to be careful of the type of information that’s posted on social networks like Facebook. In the posts I see on Facebook, many users post similar temptations for would be burglars. I see things like, “I can hardly wait, hubby and I are going on a twoweek vacation to Hawaii leaving tomorrow.” or “Pray for us, we’re taking Suzy to the doctor in Oklahoma City tomor-
row to find out why she is having trouble keeping food down.” Another rising problem is the popularity of geo-tagging photos with location data prior to posting on a social network. Of course, too much information on Facebook also helps the police. Recent headlines I’ve seen include : “Robber flees state, nabbed after posting location on Facebook,” or “NYC cops take down burglars by friending them on Facebook.” Another interesting Facebook headline this weekend, “GM pulls Facebook advertising amid growing concerns over social media marketing.” Digital Trends reported, “GM announces it has decided to pull all of its Facebook advertising. And that’s no small account Facebook has lost – it was a $10 million account. According to the Wall Street Journal GM decided to nix its Facebook campaign efforts after concluding the paid ads didn’t significantly impact buyers. While the company says its business page is still a product it intends to invest in, it will no longer use the Facebook paid advertisement system. I saw one writer theorize that as Facebook users become more security aware, they clamp down on what is “see-able” online and then their posts become less interesting and their readers fade to less frequent visits.

Four seek Barber County Sheriff position in primary By Yvonne Miller On August 7, Kansas voters go to the polls for a primary election. One of their decisions will be to elect a new sheriff in Barber County. Candidates are: Aubrey English, Ryan McNeil, Justin Rugg and James Stevenson. Each is registered as a Republican. The one with the most votes will appear on the November ballot. Although no democrats filed, there could be write-ins, County Clerk Debbie Wesley said. The Newsgram sent each candidate a list of the same questions. Their answers follow: • Barber County Sheriff Candidate Aubrey English With the Barber County’s Sheriff’s Department over 7 1/2 years, Deputy Sheriff Aubrey English hopes to be the new sheriff. He is married to Sara and they have eight-year-old twins, Ruby and Rebekah. English lives in Isabel and is a high school graduate. He also graduated from the Oklahoma law enforcement basic academy (KLETC), and the Kansas law enforcement reciprocity academy. In addition to his law enforcement duties, he is a board member of Barber County Development, and a past city council member for Medicine Lodge, Kan. His other law enforcement experience includes: Detention Deputy, Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office, three years; police officer, Maud (Okla.) Police Department, one year; Deputy
Sheriff, Harper County (Okla.) Sheriff’s Office, two-and-a-half years. Why are you running for Barber County Sheriff? “With a vacancy in the office of Sheriff for the first time in 22 years, Barber County needs a Sheriff with new goals and objectives to meet the needs of this rural county in the 21st century. Barber County has been my home since 2005. I am purchasing my home here, my wife and I are raising our children in Barber County and we are also active in our community. My commitment to the safety and security of the people and property in Barber County has always been my top priority. I have prepared myself, through my fourteen-year-plus law enforcement experience, to present myself to the citizens of Barber County to be the best choice for Sheriff.” What do you see as the biggest need at the Sheriff’s Dept? “I want the Barber County Sheriff’s Office to be a more pro-active law enforcement agency, rather than just a reactive agency. This can be done by returning the Sheriff’s Office to a 24-hour patrol, and commit our officers to being out more patrolling our rural roads and highways. More pro-active patrolling will also familiarize ourselves even more to who are citizens are and where they live, and where other properties are, which can lead to quicker response times to calls.” If elected, what are your goals as Sheriff? “As I just emphasized, I want to return to 24-hour pro-active patrol. I also want to introduce Barber County to a program called “See something, say something,” which encourages our citizens to report any suspicious activity, no matter how big or small, to the Sheriff’s Office. All suspicious activity reports will be investigated. I also want to get the Sheriff’s Office more involved with our youth and in the schools to educate our youth on the dangers of substance abuse (drugs, alcohol and tobacco), the dangers of texting while driving, and tackle the ever growing issue of bullying in our schools. “Another goal is to keep a special relationship and watch on our senior citizens, making sure they’re updated on current scams and con-artists, as well as making sure their welfare is okay, especially in inclement weather. Finally, I promise to run a law enforcement agency with dedicated and well-trained professional employees. As Sheriff, I will hold accountability of the actions of the Sheriff’s Office and our employees to the utmost highest.” How would you make your goals reality? “I will work with our county commissioners to prioritize the needs of the Sheriff’s Office, and also work to make sure our goals can fit in our budget. I will promise to maintain fiscal responsibility, by providing the best law enforcement services to our citizens in a cost-effective manner. One of my first objectives will also be to update our policy and procedures for the Sheriff’s Office and follow them to the letter. That can reduce the possibility of civil lawsuits being filed against this office, and also reduce the possibility of criminal action against any employee of the Sheriff’s Office.” Is there anything else you want the public to know about you? “I am the candidate with the most heart, dedication and ambition to do the job, and do it right. If elected, I will serve the citizens of Barber County to the best of my ability, for as long as See Position Page 26

runs of their own. The final score ended the game and gave Little Sunflower League the state championship. To get to the title game, the Little Sunflower League girls won their first two games from Wichita teams, then beat Winfield’s The Cure by a 17-11 margin. Their fourth game was a setback. They fell into the loser’s bracket with a 17-11 loss to the Blue Sox, the team they would later beat twice. After the loss, they bounced back by eliminating The Cure 13-5. The win gave them what they wanted, a shot at the team that beat them and a chance to win the state title.

I am able to hold the office of Sheriff. I will maintain an open-door policy to all people, and I will endeavor myself to be as close to you as your telephone.” • Barber County Sheriff Candidate Ryan McNeil A Medicine Lodge police officer for the past seven years, Ryan McNeil wants to move over to lead the sheriff’s office. Single since 2007, McNeil is the father of three: Christopher, 20, a pre-med major at the University of Kansas; Krystal, 18, who attends K-State for pre-dentistry; and David, who passed away at age 7 in 2004. Born in Illinois, McNeil grew up in suburbs until moving to Iowa where he graduated high school. He credits his father, a longtime Fire Chief for inspiring him to enter public safety. McNeil served in both the Iowa Army National Guard and U.S. Army. He was trained to drive trucks and be a small arms armorer. He was deployed to Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf War in 1990-91, and spent time in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq. Once out of the military, he worked retail security until being hired as police officer, a position he’s held for 10 years. He’s certified in Indiana and Kansas. Working in Indiana, he was a patrol offi-
cer, investigator and as a patrol sergeant for three years. So far during his career, McNeil obtained over 900 hours of training as well as serving as an instructor at the Medicine Lodge Police Department and as guest instructor for KLETC during Officer Survival training. He’s attended several computer forensic courses as crimes such as computer fraud have become more prevalent and the technology being used by those committing crimes has advanced quite a bit. Why are you running for Barber County Sheriff? “Because there has been a consistent lack of leadership within that department, an issue that has brought about a host of other problems such as no direction for employees, apathetic attitudes towards the public and questionable enforcement activities by employees. “These problems have been allowed to remain unaddressed for an extended period of time, which I believe is a huge disservice to both the citizens and the employees. “Having worked alongside the Sheriff’s Department; I know that there are bright, talented and dedicated employees there, employees who want to help and improve not only the department, but the community as well. All they need is a strong leader who is willing to provide the guidance and support that is currently lacking in order to make the Sheriff’s Department into the agency that can complete the job of enforcing the laws
in the most effective, impartial and fair manner for the citizens of Barber County. What do you see as biggest need at the Sheriff’s Dept? “I see two things: the need for strong leadership within the department. When any department cannot operate together, they are unable to fulfill their mission, which in this case means that the public is not being protected effectively. That is just unacceptable to me. The second is for a much stronger training program for all the employees, preferably one that is conducted inhouse as much as possible. Not having a training program is just an invitation for problems, some of which I hear complaints from citizens about frequently. I firmly believe that if these two problems are addressed, the Sheriff’s Department’s ability to protect and serve the citizens of Barber County will be improved and some of the negativity surrounding law enforcement will go away.” If elected, what are your goals as Sheriff? I have set several goals for the Department if elected, which are: • Return the Department to 24 houra-day service, which will help in both response times and to help lower the cost of overtime. • Ensure that the Department dedicates the majority of their time to patrolSee Position Page 32

Two arrested at refuge By Marione Martin A Talihina man and a Stillwater man have been charged in Alfalfa County District Court after the sheriff’s office received a call about someone running over mailboxes.

ling the communities who have no fulltime law enforcement services and those who live outside those communities. • Implement updated policy/procedures to ensure that all employees understand what is expected of them and provide them a framework on how to perform their jobs properly. • Implement new hiring policies to ensure that the Department is staffed by the most qualified employees. • Implement in-house training program to improve the skills of the employees while ensuring that expenses of training are minimized How would you make your goals reality? “I’ve already begun working on making a few of my goals for the Sheriff’s Department reality. I have researched and written a new policy and procedures manual for the department. In that I have updated the hiring practices of the department in order to draw the most qualified people. “I am in the process of creating an in-house training program for the department, including both the deputies and dispatchers. “And, finally, I have been able to create a schedule that will allow the department to return to 24-hour-a-day law enforcement coverage utilizing the employees already in place within the department. “The other goals I have for the Sheriff’s Department, such as additional employees and improved pay and benefits,
are issues that I am prepared to work with the County Commissioners about in order to fulfill those goals if elected. Anything else you want the public to know about you? “I would like the public to know that while the job of Sheriff is political, I am not and never will be a politician. I am a law enforcement officer, and at the end of the day I believe that being a law enforcement officer is the job of any good Sheriff. That means as your Sheriff, I will enforce the laws equally and impartially for everyone, regardless if doing so is not the popular choice or if it angers the citizens. • Barber County Sheriff Candidate Justin Rugg A Deputy Sheriff, Justin Rugg has eight years experience with the Sheriff’s Department and hopes to lead it. His wife, Dooli, is Radiology Director at the Kiowa District Hospital and a member of the Site Council at South Barber Schools. Their children are: Emily, 13 who will be an eighth grader at South Barber; and Logan, who will be a fourth grader there. From Hazelton, Rugg graduated from South Barber in 1993. He is a certified EMT, Hazelton City Councilman, Volunteer fireman for Hazelton and on the Borderline Theatre Board of Directors Rugg graduated from KLETC in 2004. He’s spent his entire career (eight years) with the Barber County Sheriff’s office. He’s been K-9 (the drug dog) handler since 2008. Why are you running for sheriff? “The main reason I am running is because I love my job and believe in the importance of quality law enforcement in a small community. I have lived in Barber County almost my entire life. It
is my home. I want to raise my family here and know that they are safe. I want people to be able to call into the Sheriff’s office with a problem and know that it will be handled appropriately.” What is the biggest need in the sheriff’s office? “I feel the biggest need in the Sheriff’s office is 24-hour coverage. We do not currently have the staffing necessary to adequately cover the county at all times. Every town in the county, no matter how small, needs to have a police officer patrolling through at least twice daily. We need to increase our presence countywide.” If elected, what are your goals as sheriff? “Some of my goals as Sheriff are to increase coverage, become more active in the school systems with education programs and just getting to know the county’s youth. Also I want to work with the commissioners to properly fund the Sheriff’s Department budget so we can be adequately staffed and have the tools to do our job.” How would you make your goals reality? “I would hire more staff for the road and jail. I started work on a school educational program involving fatal vision glasses and the youth driving a golf cart through an obstacle coarse wearing them. I visit the schools with my K-9 Benzie for drug demonstrations. “I am currently very involved with all of the emergency departments and would continue to keep those relationships open and effective. I would attend Commissioner’s meeting’s to maintain open communication between county officials.” See Position Page 36
