Alfalfa County continues discussion on E911 issue By Samantha Smith Alfalfa County commissioners and citizens from throughout the county met Monday night to continue their discussion on the issue of Enhanced 911 services. The meeting, held at the Baker building in Cherokee, was filled with discussion concerning plans for funding, government grants, and what has been accomplished so far. Karen Hawkins, mayor of Cherokee, declared a quorum present and discussion concerning funding, system cost, and dispatchers began. Meeting attendee Daniel Cerny of Nescatunga opened the floor with his comments and concerns for the city of Cherokee and Alfalfa County. Cerny voiced his concerns about the hidden costs associated with the E911 system and said that while it is obvious The Alva Review-Courier / Newsgram is published Wednesday by Martin Broadcasting Corp. 620 Choctaw St. Alva, Oklahoma 73717 Lynn L.

that the county cannot afford it, the communities need an effective 911 system. He said that the biggest thing to him is that the county knows what they are getting themselves into. A significant amount of the people in Alfalfa County are disabled and they need to know that they have a 911 system that they can depend on if and when the county implements it, he added. “We can’t afford to have it come back
and bite us in the end,” Cerny stated. “I want to see this 911 system come into existence without a huge burden, not only on the county, but a huge burden on the tax payers,” he added. Everyone present seemed to agree that they would love to see the system stay within the county, however they realize that it just might not be feasible See E911 Page 30

Freedom Supt. Gleave forecasts no drop in carryover next year By Roger McKenzie School finances at Freedom should be at least as good going into the 2011-12 school year as they were last year coming into the 2010-11 school year. Superintendent Richard Gleave’s administrative report at Monday’s Freedom Public School’s Board of Education meeting was positive. “Comparing 2010 to 2011, we have encumbered $143,427 less and written warrants for $108,367 less than the time last year,” he said. “Revenues have been up in gross production the entire year, but state aid has been down (the entire year). We should have at least the same amount in our fund balance, if not more, when the (school) year ends on June 30.” Another positive was his feeling that the district will be getting a grant from Cargill for a school greenhouse. Not yet positive is the fact that the district is still looking for a half-time media specialist. No applications have been received, although Gleave said, “There is someone interested if we can get things worked out.” Principal Charla Gleave announced the Freedom Summer Reading Gang, a reading initiative that will start June 8 and continue each Wednesday from 10:30-11:30 a.m. through July 13. A teacher is assigned to help students. Volunteers are invited to also help out. She also noted Driver’s Education begins June 6. Actions taken by the board Monday
included approval of temporary appropriations for the upcoming school year. The routine approval was for the district’s anticipated needs based on 90 percent of this year’s figures. The totals approved were $1,383,800 for the General Fund, $139,496 for the Building Fund, and $38,044 for the Child Nutrition Fund. An encumbrance to pay Advanced Academics $150,000 has not been spent due to an on-going dispute with the company over billing. The Freedom school board voted to cancel the encumbrance for 2009-10 and move it forward to fiscal year 2010-11. The money will not be spent pending the outcome of the dispute. Despite a $4,000 increase in premium and a doubling of each deductible, the board took Supt. Gleave’s advice and approved insurance for the district in the upcoming school year from the Oklahoma Schools Insurance Group. The new premium is $20,984, up from $16,796 charged in the current school year. Supt. Gleave noted that a new insurance trust exists, but it is so new it has not had time to build up much of a reserve. That could leave schools that subscribe to it in the lurch if claims are too high. The increase is due to a lot of damage claims across the state. It also is not quite as bad when you consider that Freedom’s insurance premium for the current school year was actually $2,000 less than in 2009-2010. The
district has also received over $100,000 more in claims paid than premiums claimed since it joined OSIG. A routine item to adopt the length of school year by days or hours policy for the upcoming school year was quickly approved. The approval gives the district the choice to use either days or hours as needed to guarantee the district fulfills the requirements for length of the school year. Also approved was the district’s acceptance of core courses taught at the Northwest Technology Center for the purpose of meeting graduation requirements. The move allows students who may miss core courses such as English or math because of attendance at Northwest Tech to be taught that course or courses there. Board members came out of an executive session and voted to renew the contract for the 2011-12 school yea of support personnel Brenda Daughhetee, Dalene Dauphin, Peg Nixon, Dawn Wares, and Laurie Watson. The board did not renew the contract for custodian Monte Wilson. In other business, the board voted to approve the consent agenda, which includes minutes of the previous meeting, activity fund expenditures, and encumbrances for the General and Child Nutrition funds.

Lynn Says
Changes in TV listings; a good place to eat By Lynn L. Martin This column will consist of several short items. A couple will have to do with changes at the Alva Review-Courier/Newsgram. We’re changing the format of the newspaper’s TV guide. For 21 years, it has been sized like the Newsgram, 8.5 x 11 inches. Beginning in June, we will reformat the TV guide to fit the 11 x 17 Alva Review-Courier product. This will reduce production costs. No longer will each copy have to be trimmed on a large paper cutter, nor will each copy have to be stapled. Because TV viewing has reached record lows, many newspapers have dropped publishing a TV guide. Part of the reason is the explosion of cable channels. It is difficult to publish a guide that includes the hundreds of traditional and cable channels available. We find, however, that if we miss inserting the TV guide, the phone immediately starts ringing at the newspaper. Because we have lower advertising rates in the guide, and because it is kept near the TV remote control all week long, we consider an ad in the TV listings the best bargain in our inventory.
Also, our revised version will include a listing of the best movies of the week which provides information for both satellite and cable viewers. One other change is the new TV guide will be wholly delivered in the Friday Alva Review-Courier. Presently, the distribution is split between mailed or thrown copies of the Friday newspaper and the Sunday newsrack or store delivered copies. Good Eating Cherokee has a really neat new restaurant called The Farmer’s Table. Actually, it is not all that new, but it has taken me awhile to accumulate three visits . . . which is my standard before I take the risk of bragging on a place. Doyce and Rachel Hager are the proprietors. It is a delicatessen type restaurant where they have a daily special. When Marione and I ate there on Monday, it was a meatloaf dinner, creamed peas and potatoes, roll and orange cake desesrt, all of which were excellent. It was served very quickly. If the daily special doesn’t appeal, then there is a menu of typical restaurant sandwiches that can be custom ordered. One reason it was difficult for me to accumulate three visits is they close at 6 p.m. It is clear the restaurant’s main business is during the noon-hour. The restaurant was filled to capacity, but because of the speed of service, the crowd rotates in
and out quickly. I’ll probably get in trouble for saying this, but Karen and Lon Hawkins, proprietors of the Cherokee Station restaurant treated their entire staff to a lunch at the Farmer’s Table when Marione and I ate there. Karen explained, “I’m not about to cook on my day off.” PayPal PayPal appeared on the scene about the same time as eBay, the internet auction service. It was a good way to safely pay for auction purchases. Now, the service has expanded far beyond eBay. PayPal is a safe way to send money to a business from either your credit card account or your bank account. The Alva Review-Courier has created a PayPal account. Right now, subscriptions may be purchased or renewed using PayPal. Soon, Action Ads and display ads can be paid using this method. We believe this will be particularly popular for those who want to place Action Ads. Such small ads are only sold on a pay in advance basis. Many customers frantically race to the newspaper office at the beginning their lunch break to meet the deadline for payment on Tuesdays. As soon as the PayPal payment method is in place, the payment can be made either by computer or over the phone.

To help finances, legislators are delaying mandatory kindergarten for two years. Elliott said school and property insurance is estimated to increase some 20 percent next year, according to an article in the Daily Oklahoman. The superintendent report that all of the school’s e-rate paperwork is submitted. They still wait to see how much they’ll receive. He reminded
board members of the OSSBA/CCOSA conference in August. The board discussed the 2010 district profile and the 2010 district dropout report which is 0 (zero), 0%.

E911
at this time. County Commissioner Doug Murrow asked city manager Don Bowman what exactly the plan was for funding the E911 system. Murrow said that the commissioners needed to see that it was feasible. Bowman did not have a clear answer, however he stated that the dispatch is already in place and they are currently collecting $4,500 per month. If they can keep collecting money at the same rate, in three years they will have $135,000 that would go immediately towards paying for the new system. Murrow also pointed out that with a three-year cushion, the county could use that money for upgrades in the future as
well. County Commissioner Chad Roach voiced his concerns throughout the whole meeting. He continually reminded those in attendance that the county will need funding for a whole lot more than just dispatching and buying a system. “If we could keep it in the county, that’s great – but we really have no way of funding it,” Roach stated bluntly. He pointed out the fact that Woods County and Grant County have implemented the system and still can’t afford it even with their shared resources. They would like to recruit Alfalfa County to help with expenses, but some Alfalfa County citizens are still skeptical about the idea.
Don Bowman noted that the equipment that is currently in use will be obsolete in 18 months so either way something will need to be done. Chad Roach said that the county commissioners want the absolute best for the county, but they want to be able to afford it. As of right now, the sales tax that has been placed on the county is maxed out and the county simply cannot afford to implement the system alone. Daniel Cerny spoke up once again and offered a suggestion concerning government grants for technology. He shared ideas regarding where to look for grants and who to contact for help in writing a grant proposal. Doug Murrow and the rest of the county commissioners decided they needed more details on a plan for funding before they would vote on the issue. The motion to lay the issue on the table was moved and seconded. The next meeting was scheduled for Monday, June 27th in the Baker Building in Cherokee.

Short Springs annual meeting set May 30 Friends and neighbors of the Short Springs Cemetery will once again gather for the annual meeting of the Short Springs Cemetery Association at 11 a.m. Monday May 30 on Memorial Day . The meeting takes place in the Historic Short Springs School house, located ½ mile east of the cemetery, on Highway 64, approximately 8 miles
East of Alva. This one room school house, over a century old, was recently declared eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. In addition to a short business meeting, there will be a special program, entitled “Remembrances” by Peggy Fox. This year’s special music will be provided by Franklin Murrow. A potluck meal will follow the
meeting and program. Drinks will be provided, but people need to bring their own table service, and dish to share. This meeting always attracts attendees from several states. Most are descendants of the early homesteaders, and have family buried in the Short Springs Cemetery. However, the general public is always welcome to attend this unique Memorial Day event.
Medicine Lodge grad sets OSU track record By Roger McKenzie There’s a record in the Oklahoma State University track and field books and it can be traced back to Medicine Lodge and Alva. The record-setter is Taylor Buck, the grandson of Alva’s Jerry and Vickie Eshleman. A Medicine Lodge High School graduate, Buck is the son of Tina and Mark Buck. The OSU sophomore recently broke an OSU record in the high jump that
dates all the way back to 1979. He set the record and won first place on May 6 at the Arkansas Twilight Meet in Fayetteville with a leap of 7’0¼ “. That broke the school’s 36-year-old record of 7’0”. Until his record setting leap, the walk-on from Medicine Lodge had a personal best of 6’10”. Needless to say, OSU coach Dave Smith is proud of his high jumper—as are his parents and grandparents.
