Kiowa Hospital receives $3 million USDA loan EPA study OK; construction of new hospital can begin By Yvonne Miller When word came late last week that the Kiowa District Hospital (KDH) finally received approval for a $3 million USDA loan, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Aldeen “Van” Vandeveer said everyone was practically dancing in the
very narrow hallways of the existing hospital. Now the architects’ plans can move forward – bids can be let and construction on the new hospital can proceed. See Hospital Page 17

Man charged with DUI and no license By Marione Martin An Enid man arrested in Cherokee has been charged in Alfalfa County District Court. According to documents on file, Leroy Olen Brawner, 51, of Enid, has been charged with aggravated driving under the influence and driving while license is under suspension, both misdemeanors. On May 22 about 1:30 a.m. Cherokee Police Officer Adam Honeyman was southbound on Grand Avenue approaching Main Street when he met a pickup whose driver did not dim the bright headlights. He also saw the pickup traveling from the curb and crossing the center line. When Honeyman conducted a traffic stop, he learned the driver was Brawner from his identification card. Brawner said he did not have a valid license as it was suspended for DUI offenses. Honeyman detected a strong odor commonly associated with an alcoholic beverage. Brawner said he had drunk four beers. Brawner did not perform well on the standardized field sobriety test. He agreed to the state’s test with the Intoxilyzer 8000, and was booked into the Alfalfa County Jail. Honeyman found Brawner had numerous DUI arrests and numerous other offenses including three felony convictions in Garfield County.

Alva Board of Education Hires Teacher By Lynn L. Martin A former employee of the Alva School system, Kendi Wooten, was hired Monday night to a teaching position at Lincoln School. More recently she taught in the Aline-Cleo system. Another change the board made that will be noticed by most parents is that school lunch prices were raised ten cents. Food Service Director Verleta Eckels said Alva is way below the Federal Guidelines which advises schools to be charging $2.50 per meal. Elementary school meals were raised to $1.75 from $1.65, Middle School prices increased from $1.75 to $1.85 and high school meals from $2.00 to $2.10. The board also approved a plan re-
Kendi Wooten
quested by Eckels to serve breakfast at all sites at except the high school. In the past, breakfast has been available only at Washington Elementary and some students were bussed there from the other sites. She believes the food will be fresher and student participation may increase. Approval was granted for Dylan Manning and Shane Murrow to attend the National Speech Contest in Indianapolis. Sponsor Nick Bradt will drive a school vehicle to the event. Another trip was approved. Ramona Cummings asked permission to use one Suburban vehicle to travel to Decatur, Ill., for the Show Choir Camp of America. Four students will participate from June 16 – June 24. Jennifer Filson submitted her resignation from a second grade teaching position at Longfellow School. She told the board she wants to be a stayat-home mom since the birth of their daughter. Survey Results Supt. Vicky Johnson distributed results of an online survey conducted last month. The survey was available from links on the school web site and also at AlvaReviewCourier.com. A total of 139 responded to the first portion of the survey entitled “Purpose and Direction.” A sample question from that section was, “Established goals and a plan for student learning improvement.” Answers for that specific question was “Strongly Agree” – 18%, “Agree” – 35%, “Neutral” – 22%, “Disagree” – 17% and “Strongly Disagree” – 7%.
Other sections of the survey had up to 215 responses. Over 100 other questions were offered for response. In general, the other responses were very similar to those presented above. One thing the district did learn from a write-in opportunity is they need to improve the popularity of the school lunch menu. Fund-raiser Requests TSA of the middle school wants to sell T-shirts and license plates with gross sales of $200 and a profit of $100. It also wants to ask for donations in hopes of raising $200.00, and wants to sell Valentines Day flowers and Crush pop totaling $300 for a profit of $200.00. Further, it wants to sell beef jerky and kettle corn. Estimates of sales gross are $1,000 with a profit of $500.00. The middle school TSA also wish to operate a candy machine with estimated sales of $1,000 making a profit of $500.00, and wants to operate a Pepsi water machine with estimated sales of $1,000 making a profit of $500.00. The sponsor of the middle school TSA is Keeli Woods, with the requests approved by Terry Conder. The Alva Middle School (AMS) cheerleaders wish to sell birthday greeting announcements with $0 cost and profit of $200.00, and hope to sell surplus cheerleader uniforms by silent auction. The cost would be $0 with an estimated profit of $500.00. The sponsor of the cheerleaders is T. Duncan. No principal signature was affixed. AMS Athletics proposes selling Subway cards for three weeks, grossing $5,000 with a profit of $2,500. They also propose selling Bedlam T-shirts during November, grossing $7,500 with a profit of $3,050, as well as selling advertising banners in the gym to local businesses. A profit of $5,625 is expected on sales of $6,000.00. Lucien Bliss was the sponsor of AMS Athletics and the principal’s signature on the fund-raiser ideas was Terry Conder. The AMS Academic Team hopes to make a profit of $1,100 selling $2,400 worth of salsa and queso in the fall of the year. They hope to repeat the fundraiser in the spring, selling $2,400 worth of salsa and queso for a profit of $1,100. See Alva Page 17

Lynn Says
Community losses By Lynn L. Martin As most of you know, if you read last week’s Newsgram, the newspaper and our photo studio lost a valuable employee and her husband in a motorcycle accident on Memorial Day. Craig Beavers came to Alva taking the job of deputy warden at BJCC. His wife, Leisa, was a 25-year veteran children’s photographer from Tulsa. I thought I would tell the story of Leisa coming to work for me. After Craig accepted the job at BJCC, he called me and asked if I would like to meet with his professional photographer wife to see if we had anything to offer each other. We met in a booth at Holder Drug. It didn’t take me long to learn that Leisa was a long-time high volume children’s photographer in Tulsa. She had experience with major chains like
Kinderfoto, Sear’s, Life Touch, and also being on her own, photographing preschools and day care centers all over the state of Oklahoma. It was clear that Alva did not have anything near the potential business volume to keep Leisa busy. I explained it this way: About 70 babies are born to Alva couples each year. If by chance 100 percent of them had infant photographs taken, that would produce about a week’s worth of work for Leisa. So if Leisa came to work for me, and we managed to get 100 percent of those 70 kids, that would be enough work to keep her busy for about one week. Then I would have no revenue produced by her to support the other 51 weeks in a year. If she went out on her own, the same problem exists. If she could obtain 100 percent of the business, she’d run out of clients in about a week. I said I could sell the studio to her, but the same problem still exists: not enough baby clients to survive.
We were still trying to find someone to fill Helen Barrett’s news writing position at the paper. Leisa and I agreed to join forces for the small amount of children’s photography that happens in Alva, and then try news writing at the newspaper. While Leisa enjoyed news writing, we both soon discovered it was not her “thing.” We soon realized that her great smile and energy were appropriate for sales. In fact, I later learned she had previous sales experience with real estate and automobiles. She excelled in that position and developed many advertiser fans. The newspaper is scrambling for other employees to pick up portions of Leisa’s job as we seek applicants. A BJCC employee told me Monday that they were in the same sad mode at the correctional center. It is hard for me to name a couple who had more impact on the Alva community in only one year of residency than Craig and Leisa Beavers. We are very sad and sorry they are gone.
Texas man injured in collision near Alva
By Marione Martin A Texas man was injured when his pickup struck the rear of a semi west of Alva Tuesday morning. The collision occurred at 12:20 a.m. on U.S. Highway 64 three-tenths of a mile west of County Road 370 in Woods County.
Jack James Taylor Jr., 33, of Weatherford was driving a 2006 Mack semi and entered Highway 64 westbound from County Road 370. Samuel Owens Butler, 29, of Mansfield, Texas, was also traveling westbound on Highway 64 and struck the semi in the rear.
The driver of the pickup, Butler, was taken by the Alva EMS to Share Medical Center in Alva then transported to St. Mary’s Hospital in Enid where he was admitted in stable condition with leg injuries. The driver of the semi and a passenger, Gregory B. Butler, 19, of Thomas, were not injured. All three were wearing seat-belts. The airbag deployed in the pickup. According to the report from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP), Samuel Butler was described as drinking, ability impaired, and the cause of the collision was listed as alcohol, DUI. OHP Trooper Linda Hartley investigated the accident, assisted by the Woods County Sheriff’s Department and the Alva Fire Department.

CISD approves $1.2 million supplemental appropriation for 2011-12 And a $1 million in temporary appropriations for 2012-13 By Roger McKenzie When it was determined that the 201112 school year budget for the Cherokee Public Schools would be $1.145 million, over $900,000 less than the $2.044 million budget in 2010-11, the extremely tight budget was attributed to loss of federal stimulus dollars, continuing state funding cuts and time constraints that forced decisions before some state and federal budget figures had arrived. The tight budget, however, did not accurately reflect the state of the district’s finances. For school year 2011-12, which is not officially over until July 1, revenues are up. Just two sources – extra state revenue for increased enrollment and gross production revenue – accounted for an increase of about $300,000 over the previous year (2010-11). State law requires the school district to stick close to its budget, but allows school districts that find they have more revenue than was budgeted to approve a supplemental budget to bump up the budget to more accurately reflect the district’s true revenues. That is exactly what the Cherokee school district did Monday night at its June school board meeting. The board members approved a $1.2 million supplemental budget for 2011-12 submitted by Superintendent Cory Ellis. Some of the additional money will be spent, including the possibility that an early bond payment for the most recent bond issue may be made. Some of the money will set the
district up for what Ellis described as a “hefty” carryover. Carryovers have been increasing for the district – from $148,000 to $292,000 for the current year. But with the supplemental funds, Ellis is hoping the carryover for 2012-13 will be between $400,000 and $500,000. Ellis also submitted, and the school board members approved, $1,030,000 in temporary appropriations to give the district funds to start the 2012-13 school year. Administrator’s report Ellis presented a needs assessment report outlining air conditioning and heating needs in the district, which he talked about last month. Mrs. Littlefield’s office, the elementary music room, the field house, boys’ and girls’ locker rooms, auditorium, cafeteria and elementary and junior high units are in various states of operation. All are at least 12 years old and will be needing replacement sooner rather than later. Only the high school classrooms,which were covered under a recent bond issue, are relatively new, as is the vocational building’s heating unit. The latter, however, has an air conditioning unit that is over 20 years old. Ellis told the board that replacements will have to be made a few at a time as funds allow. He said three boys have been hired for the summer to help a maintenance staff reduced by leave cope with getting the buildings in shape so that they can be closed by Aug. 1 until just before school
starts. The goal is saving utility costs. Some of the summer work will be to close up an open area to create two new class spaces. Ellis also spoke about on-going training to meet the requirements of new curriculum being mandated by the state. One resignation, four new hires The school board accepted the resignation of Stacy Croft after 11 years with the district as a special education teacher at the high school. Board members also approved hiring Stephanie Hines as a social studies teacher and softball coach, Rick Brown as a half-time elementary principal, George Weve as an elementary coach/physical education teacher and driver’s education teacher and Stephanie Weve as an elementary aid. Other business Fund-raisers for the cheerleaders and softball team were briefly discussed and approved. Some routine housekeeping items for the 2012-2013 school year were also passed, including insurance contract renewals with the Oklahoma School Insurance Group (OSIG) and the Oklahoma School Assurance Group (OSAG). OSIG’s contract insures the district’s buildings and fleet. Its $42,809 cost is about the same as this year’s cost. The OSAG contract for workers’ compensation insurance rose slightly to $10,843. Two years ago, it cost the district over $8,000. The rise was attributed to claims filed by the district on behalf of employees. A $1,000 asbestos annual testing contract with Precision Testing Laboratories was approved, as was an E-Rate Technology plan. In order to allow the district to get grades for its students for math and Nova Net classes taught at Northwest Technology Center, the board members officially approved acceptance and transcript credits from the center’s campuses. Another routine approval was for using classroom hours instead of days to determine length of the 2012-13 school year. The board also approved minutes and the activity fund report. The board accepted a recommendation to delete activity fund accounts for several classes (2005 through 2010) because they had a zero balance and were no longer needed. A “normal” treasurer’s report present by the newly rehired treasurer, Jennifer Roach, as well as monthly encumbrances, were also approved.

The estimated cost is $6.5 million. Barber County Commissioners already approved $4 million of bonds for the project. The funding will help equip the hospital as well as construct. Vandeveer said of the loan approval, “USDA Rural Development provided gap financing that was critical to secure additional financing for the new hospital.” The CEO credits formation of the Friends of Kiowa District Hospital and Manor Foundation, Inc., and their fundraising efforts for helping obtain the USDA loan.

lighting how infrastructure investments in rural communities help create jobs and boost economic development. “Quality hospitals, schools and libraries are the building blocks for a vibrant rural America,” Vilsack said. Since fiscal year 2009, USDA Rural Development’s Community Facilities Program has helped an estimated 30 million rural Americans address essential challenges in health care, education, public service and safety by financing projects through loans, grants or loan guarantees. Kiowa’s hospital is one of 38 Community Facilities investments in 21 states currently reaping a reward. Just two organizations in Kansas are recipients: Kiowa’s Hospital and Little Hands, Inc., in Hiawatha, Kan., which received a $15,000 grant to purchase furnishing for the Little Hands Daycare. New Hospital Features The KDH was built in 1951 and had several renovations over the years. USDA Rural Development State Director Patty Clark said, “A new hospital was the most cost-effective way for the hospital to make upgrades.” The new hospital will have an expanded emergency room, basic acute care and outpatient services, surgery suite, allergy clinic, rural health clinic and several other amenities. “The new hospital will have stateof-the-art equipment and will offer patients more privacy when staying at the hospital,” Vandeveer said.

Finances looking good Jet man for Waynoka Schools charged Mold clean up complete in elementary building for voting twice By Julie Whiteman Finances for the Waynoka School District are looking good according Superintendent Peggy Constien. Constien told the school board during its regularly scheduled meeting Monday evening that she feels confident in reporting the district is looking at an increase of $800,000 in its carry over compared to last year. Constien said the elementary building passed the second air quality test and minor construction is now underway to repair damage from a toilet overflow. While cleaning up from the plumbing issue, a previous mold problem was discovered and a mold removal and restoration company was called in to correct the issue. With clean results from two air quality tests, the district is now replacing sheet rock, painting and preparing the floor for carpeting. Constien reported that the district’s insurance does not include mold coverage. Damage from the water was covered by the policy, but anything related to the mold repairs was not. She estimated expenses to the district at $15,000 to $20,000. The board approved purchase of carpet for the elementary building to replace what was damaged due to plumbing issues. Three sealed bids were received for a new 29-passenger bus. Ross Transportation submitted the low bid for
$48,353. That bid was also the only bid to meet exact specifications and that could deliver within two weeks of purchase. National Bus bid $49,461 with a delivery date of 120-150 days. The bid from Midwest Bus came in at $50,173 with a delivery date of 180 days. The board unanimously approved the bid from Ross Transportation. A 2002 Ford Excursion and a 1999 Chevy Bus were declared as surplus due to major mechanical issues. Both vehicles will be sold to highest bidders. In other business the board approved: • renewing the contract with Cariker School Services, Inc. to provide insurance for the 2012-2013 school year. • membership with the Oklahoma State School Board Association for the 2012-2013 school year. • temporary appropriations for the fiscal year 2012-2013. • investment agreement with the Major County Treasurer. • enrollment in the Oklahoma Schools Secure purchasing program for credit purchases in lieu of the BancOklahoma credit card. • contract with American Fidelity Assurance Company to serve as Waynoka Public School Section 125 Plan or the 2012-2013 school year. The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Waynoka School Board was moved from July 2 to July 9.
By Marione Martin A Jet man has been charged with voting illegally in the Town of Jet special election. The felony charge was filed against Michael Shane Keller, 47, on May 25 in Alfalfa County District Court. According to documents on file, Kelly Stein contacted Steve Tanio, District #26 district attorney’s investigator, on Feb. 16 about Keller voting twice in the Feb. 14 special Town of Jet election. She said that on Jan. 26 the election board office received an application for an absentee ballot from Keller. It was processed and sent to him. On Feb. 10 the election board received the ballot. Stein then discovered that on Feb. 14 Keller voted in person in the same election. Joan Burnham, Alfalfa County Election Board judge for the City of Jet special election, told Tanio she recalled Keller and his mother Jacquetta Jenkins coming to the Jet polling location on Feb. 14. She said she thought it was unusual that both Jenkins and Keller stated the reason they were voting in person was that they had not voted absentee. Burnham witnessed Keller printing his name and signing his name to an absentee voter affidavit, swearing or affirming he had not voted absentee for this election. Tanio then talked with Keller who said he applied for the absentee ballot which he received. Sometime prior to Feb. 10, Keller said, he filled out the absentee ballot and put it into an envelope for mailing and placed it on the counter of his residence, The Salt Plains Motel in Jet. He said he was unaware his wife Donna Keller had mailed the ballot. He admitted he voted in person at the City of Jet polling place. According to Oklahoma State Statutes, Title 26, Section 16-102, anyone found guilty of voting more than once in any election shall be confined in the state penitentiary for not more than five years or fined not more than $50,000.

Overview of Kiowa’s hospital and manor fiscal year Odell reelected to Board at annual meeting
By Yvonne Miller Approximately 20 guests attended the Kiowa District Hospital annual meeting held May 24 at the Masonic Lodge Hall. The only board seat up for reelection was that held by Board President Zack Odell who has served six years so far. With no opposition, Odell was reelected to that position by acclamation. Board agreed to keep the same slate of officers with President Odell, Vice President Robert Armbruster, Secretary Lori Schrock, Treasurer Robert Stark and Director Dan Lukins. John Harris with BKD presented an audit of the hospital district for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. He advised personnel to beware of a new billing method that is coming. “Don’t sign anything yet,” he said, adding he expects some issues with it. Harris noted that hospital patient revenue and volume is down statewide which is “something of concern,” he said. The auditor said manor resident numbers are down statewide, “but not as much as this.” He was referring to the Kiowa Hospital District Manor census that had an occupancy rate of 64.49 percent in 2011. That was down from 73.72 percent in 2010. Resident occupancy hovers around 24. “The manor is still struggling,” Harris said. He knows part of that is the expense of agency nursing care. “I realize there is lots of tax money involved,” he said. Hospital and manor figures for FY 2011 At the end of 2011, the audited figures showed the manor had total assets and liabilities of $481,266. The manor’s net patient revenue in 2011 was $1,480,885. Total operating expenses were $1,822,656, for a loss from operations of $309,560. The addition of $54,998 tax money curbed the loss to $254,562. That amount added to the deficit of $1,501,848 from January1, 2011 made a deficit of $1,756,410 at the end of 2011 for the manor. The hospital district (including just the hospital and clinic) had total net
assets and liabilities of $4,930,041 at the end of 2011. That was up from the end of 2010 with a figure of $4,455,270. Hospital net patient revenue for 2011 was $2,988,751. Total operating revenue was $2,998,377. With operating expenses of $3,499,440, the loss was $501,063. Adding non-operating revenue (mainly tax money) of $865,383, the hospital showed a gain of $354,320. That positive figure added to net assets on January 1, 2011 equals net assets of $3,632,566 for the hospital at the end of 2011. The consolidated balance sheet for both the hospital/clinic and manor shows net assets of $1,876,156 at the end of 2011. That figure at the end of 2010 was $1,776,398. CEO summarizes FY 2011 at annual meeting District chief executive officer (CEO) Aldeen “Van” Vandeveer summarized hospital business in 2011 in his annual report to the board, “The KDH had a successful year and our staff provided outstanding healthcare services to our community. There were stresses put on cash by necessary capital purchases, which is expected to continue in 2012 until the electronic health record software is functioning and we receive funds from CMS [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] to partially off-set the expenditure. As mentioned in last year’s summary, our challenges remain revenue cycle management, cost containment efforts and completion of the hospital replacement plan.” Vandeveer’s referral to the upgrade to electronic health records (EHRs) is mandated by the federal Affordable Care Act. The mandate says that every hospital must have EHRs in place by 2014. The government is to give
hospitals reimbursement for some of their cost for this. Harris said there may be greater her reimbursements for what’s known as critical access hospitals like the one in Kiowa. In the CEO’s annual report about the manor, Vendeveer said, “The manor continued to try to control costs and improve the quality of services provided to our residents. The challenges of FY 2011 were staffing stability and issues surrounding our aging building.” Vandeveer noted that the manor’s survey by the state showed zero care issues and only a few clerical and others errors that were easily remedied.

Two meetings for Alfalfa commissioners 911 mapping gets final approval By Roger McKenzie Monday’s (June 4) meeting of the Alfalfa County Commissioners was short due to a lot of normal business being conducted at last week’s Thursday meeting on May 31. Only five road crossing permit requests were presented for approval. The five generated $2,500 in fees. Three were in District 1 and two were in District 3. Monthly appropriations were approved, as was an alcoholic beverage tax report that distributed $7,173.68 in May to the county’s 10 communities. Also approved was the maximum high expenditures report for June. The new limit is $2,255,935 for all three districts. That amount, however, is a maximum that is never fully spent, with the unspent portion carrying over each month. Miscellaneous officers reports, maintenance and operations warrants and minutes were also approved in a meeting that lasted less than 20 minutes. May 31 commissioners’ meeting Last Thursday’s meeting had more
on its agenda and lasted a lot longer. The end-of-the month meeting allows commissioners to issue paychecks to county employees. Forty-two road crossing permits were approved on May 31, totaling $31,250 in fees. District 1 had 17 requests, with fees totaling $13,750. District 2 had 11 permit requests, totaling $6,500. District 3’s total was 14 permit requests and $11,000 in fees. Associated with the 911 call center preparations, the commissioners approved an agreement with Woods County for mapping and the first year of maintenance for the master street address guide. The mapping contract calls for Alfalfa County to pay $55,208 for the mapping work. It also includes charges of $135 each for address changes or new addresses and a $1,000-per-month maintenance charge. The commissioners did not feel the county should pay the maintenance charge, but since the mapping bid plus a year of maintenance were close to what the county had originally agreed to pay, the commissioners voted to approve the contract with Woods County. They also said they would bring the matter up for renegotiation with the City of Cherokee when their yearly agreement to allow the call center to be operated by the city
is to be renewed after a year. A do-over to meet requirements of AT&T had the commissioners again approving a re-written resolution to redirect 911 phone tariffs to the City of Cherokee as the city prepares to launch a 911 call center. Alfalfa commissioners voted to accept option 1 of the Association of County Commissioners of Oklahoma (ACCO) worker’s compensation insurance. The cost to the county for FY 2012-13 will be $45,130. Also given an okay was a contract renewal with the Oklahoma Department of Juvenile Affairs, which will allow that department to transport juvenile offenders when needed. A number of items to be bid on will be advertised. The commissioners gave the county clerk authority to advertise for power cots and EMS equipment; electronic fingerprint system for the Sheriff’s Department; and, for the courthouse, handicapped accessible doors, construction of sidewalks and remodeling of bathrooms to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Minutes of the previous meeting, payroll warrants, maintenance and operations warrants and blanket purchase orders were also approved.

Northwest Technology Center will be training new drivers to meet the expanding need.
200,000 drivers wanted The trucking industry desperately seeks quality drivers, and CareerTech hits the road running to fulfill the need As the oil and gas industries are booming, the demand for qualified truck drivers is increasing, with fewer candidates available to meet the demand than is needed. “I know one oilfield company that is looking for over 500 drivers right now,” said Dan Case, executive director of the Oklahoma Trucking Association. “The U.S. needs about 200,000 more full-time drivers this year – the trucking industry is overwhelmed.” As a result of this need, Central Technology Center’s truck driver training program began partnering with technology centers across the state. “We were approached by Northwest Technology Center in Alva about the possibility of providing driver training for specific companies in their area,” said Robert McClanahan, Director of Transportation & Safety Education at Central Tech.
The oil industry in Oklahoma has experienced tremendous growth, especially in Northwest Oklahoma. Central Tech began training with Northwest Technology Center in Alva in March 2011. “Since the program began, we have trained 65 drivers,” said Charlotte Hadwiger, business and industry service director, Northwest Technology Center, Alva. “The starting salaries for these individuals are between $40,000 per year to $125,000 per year. The companies that we work with are thrilled with our students.” The program has also expanded train-
ing to Northwest Technology Center’s Fairview campus, to Autry Technology Center in Enid, and at High Plains Technology Center in Woodward training will start in the next few months. “We are in desperate need of truck drivers in our area and we have continual inquires on how to enroll in the truck driver training classes,” said Steve Kliewer, business and industry services director at Northwest Technology Center, Fairview. “The training comes from an organization with a great reputation for training truck drivers and this curriculum has been speSee Drivers Page 34

Tanner Selvey was recognized for being the top Blue-and-Gold salesman. The sale of Blue and Gold products is extremely important, as it helps to fund most activities.

The members vote to bestow an Honorary Chapter Degree to individuals in our community who have given support that significantly enabled the successes the chapter has achieved. The 2012 recipients were Alan and Daresa Poe. Another award given to individuals who have supported the chapter and its members is the Blue and Gold Award. This year’s Blue and Gold Award recipients were Larry and Christina Hill, Dale and Mindy Zook and Michael and Kelly Meriwether. The Waynoka FFA chapter was also proud to recognize its individuals who
received awards and degrees on the state level. Weston Hill, Layne Meriwether and Michaela Zook all received their State FFA Degree. Layne Meriwether was recognized for being the Beef Production Entrepreneurship Proficiency State Winner, State public speaking finalist and OYE scholarship recipient. Colton Budy was recognized for placing second in the eighth-grade division at the State FFA prepared public speaking contest. He also presented his speech at the banquet and did a great job.

A certificate was presented to Jill Whipple and Michaela Zook for being selected to the FFA State Convention Chorus this year.

Drivers cifically developed to address the needs of oil and gas industry in our area.” The ability for Central, Canadian Valley, Autry, Northwest and High Plains Technology Centers to work together to provide training for area businesses testifies to CareerTech’s dedication to serving business and industry. “To become a professional driver, it’s absolutely necessary to go through formal training to get the basics, learn the industry, equipment, rules and regulations of the trucking industry,” McClanahan said. Options like the truck driver training class are popular with adults looking to learn a new trade and start a new career. The short time frame of 23 training days, with more than 50 hours of driving time, enables students to get to work quickly. The demand for qualified drivers is high, and graduates of Central Tech’s truck driver training program have a 98 percent placement rate. Graduates can expect to earn $40,000 annually in general industries, with salaries reaching $50,000 to $90,000 plus annually in the oil and gas industry. Full-time graduates of the Oklahoma CareerTech system elevate the Oklahoma Economy by more than $2.4 billion annually. Full-time graduates account for a small percentage of total enrollments in CareerTech programs, as it does not include individuals who choose to continue their education, or those who take advantage of Business and Industry Services, or those who participate in short-term courses. More information about truck driver training classes at Northwest Technology Center is available on the school’s website at www.nwtech.edu, or for statewide information visit www.okcareertech.com
