Lynn Says
Oklahoma City teacher’s powerful open letter about the struggles of teaching is gaining attention online By Lynn L. Martin (I didn’t write this, but I choose to let this letter have the space of my column as it is very important.) By KFOR-TV Steven Wedel’s brutally honest blog post is shedding light on issues many parents and lawmakers need to address. In his post, Wedel talks about giving his students food when they haven’t eaten enough, staying after school with students who don’t want to go home to their parents, living in fear due to massive budget cuts and dealing with mandates that lawmakers have passed that make it more difficult to be a teacher in Oklahoma. I am a teacher. I teach English at the high school of an independent district within Oklahoma City. I love my job. I love your kids. I call them my kids. I keep blankets in my room for when they’re cold. I feed them peanut butter crackers, beef jerky or Pop Tarts when Michelle Obama’s school breakfast or

lunch isn’t enough to fill their bellies. I comfort them when they cry and I praise them when they do well and always I try to make them believe that they are somebody with unlimited potential no matter what they go home to when they leave me. What do they go home to? Sometimes when they get sick at school they can’t go home because you and the person you’re currently shacking up with are too stoned to figure out it’s your phone ringing. Sometimes they go home to parents who don’t notice them, and those are often the lucky kids. Sometimes they go home to sleep on the neighbor’s back porch because your boyfriend kicked them out of the house and his dog is too mean to let them sleep on their own back porch. They go home to physical and verbal abuse. They go home looking for love and acceptance from the people who created them … and too often they don’t find it. Many days your children bring the resentment they feel toward you to school with them and they act out against peers, property or their teachers. When I call you I’m told, “When he’s at school he’s your problem.” Or you beat them, not for what they did, but because it embarrassed or inconvenienced you when I called. Often, they stay at school with me for an hour and a half after the bell rings because they don’t want to go home to you. Reluctantly, they get on the two buses meant to take home students who stay for athletic practice, and they go away for a dark night in places I can’t imagine. Over 90 percent of the kids in my high school are on the free or reduced lunch programs. The walk hand-in-hand with Poverty and its brother Violence. They find comfort in the arms of your lover, Addiction. They make babies before they are old enough to vote. Or drive. And they continue the cycle you put them in. Sometimes I get through to a student
and convince her that education is the way out of this spiral of poverty and despair. Then you slap them down for wanting to be better than you. And you, the lawmakers of this state, you encourage it. I hold two college degrees and have been on my job for 10 years. I was our school’s Teacher of the Year in 2014. I teach kids to read the ballots that keep you in your elite position. I teach them to look behind your lies and rhetoric. I teach them to think for themselves. The compensation of me and my colleagues ranks 49th in the nation, and is the lowest in our region. I currently earn about $18,000 per year less than I did in 2002, my last year as an office worker for an energy company that merged with another and eliminated my job. I feel like my life has purpose now, but, as I turn 50 this year and wonder how I’ll put my own high school-age kids through college, I have to consider giving up helping scores of kids per year so I can afford to give my own children what they need to find satisfaction in their lives. And what do you do? You whittle away at education funding. You waste the taxpayers’ money so that our great state faces unbelievable shortfalls and massive budget cuts. You take home a salary that ranks 10th highest in the nation among state legislators and you are inept, uncaring, and an abomination to our democratic form of government. Those kids who stay after school with me? After Spring Break 2016 they can’t do that. You see, our district can no longer afford to pay to run those late buses. Your kids wade through garbage in the halls because we had to release the custodial crew that cleaned at night. Oh sure, we could make the kids clean up after themselves, except our administrators live in fear of lawsuits, and making a kid pick up the lunch tray he threw on the floor has been considered

She provided that same love and nurturing to her grandchildren and extended family. She was loyal and supportive to her friends and always had a ready smile for everyone. She loved poetry, reading, word play, games of all types, and sports. She was everything one could ask for in a daughter, mother, spouse, or friend. She will be sorely missed.

Cherokee woman charged with burglary By Marione Martin A Cherokee woman has been charged with second degree burglary and attempted larceny in three incidents that occurred starting in early December. According to court records, on Dec. 7, 2015, the Cherokee Police Department was contacted by Karen Eckhardt about someone being in her house. She said she heard the doorbell ring but didn’t answer the door. When she came into the living room, she found Rebecca Sanborn going through her purse. She said when she asked Sanborn what she was doing, Sanborn said she was looking for a piece of paper to leave her a note. Eckhardt told Officer Ryan McNeil she did not find anything missing Approximately a week later, Vicki Eshelman contacted Officer Tristan Hall saying while she was out of town her daughter-in-law called to say a vehicle was in her driveway. The daughterin-law said she went to the house and noticed a key, normally hidden on the front porch, was out on the ground. She entered the house and noticed the door to the garage was open when it is always closed. She heard the doorbell ring and went to the front door where a woman was standing. The woman told her she wanted to inform her she was in the alley behind the house chasing her dog. She
then got in her vehicle and left. The daughter-in-law was able to get a photo of the vehicle, and Officer Hall was able to identify the vehicle as being owned by Rebecca Sanborn. When Eshleman returned home, she noticed the medicine cabinet where all of her husband’s medication is kept was in disarray but she didn’t know if anything was missing. Officer Hall was then contacted by Diane Highfill about Sanborn being at her residence. She said she was off work and sitting in her back room. When the doorbell rang, she didn’t answer it and continued to watch TV. Next thing she saw Sanborn at the sliding glass door. Sanborn said she was looking for her because she wanted to know if she knew anything about Charlie Cox’s residence and who was renting it out. The next week, Highfill said she got off work early and saw both her husband’s trucks in the driveway so thought he was home. When she parked in the driveway, Sanborn came walking out of the back door and said she was looking for her. She said Sanborn told her she came to the back door like before and she again asked about Charlie Cox’s house. Highfill said she later discovered that $4,000 cash was missing from the top drawer of a dresser in the hallway.
She said only family members had been in the house and none of them took the money. Officer Hall asked Highfill to write out a statement. On Jan. 11, Hall was contacted by Eshleman who said some items had come up missing. She listed a blackgray scarf and a $50 gift card. The scarf had been on top of a table inside the front door, and the gift card was on the kitchen table. On Jan. 27, Hall went back to conduct a follow-up interview with Eshleman. This time, Eshleman was able to tell him that three of her husband’s prescription medications were missing: Tramadol, Tylenol 3 and Norco. Hall asked for proof that these had been prescribed to him, and Eshleman called the pharmacy to obtain a copy. On Feb. 26 Rebecca Jolynn Sanborn, 31, of Cherokee was charged with two felony counts of burglary, second degree. Each count is punishable by imprisonment for two to seven years. Bond was set at $10,000. Also on Feb. 26 Sanborn was charged with a felony of attempted larceny from a house. The crime is punishable by imprisonment for up to 2.5 years. Bond was set at $5,000. Sanborn posted bond and was released. Her next court appearance in Alfalfa County is March 2 at 9:30 a.m.

Goltry man charged with domestic assault Also for vandalism of county equipment
By Marione Martin A Goltry man is facing three felony charges and a misdemeanor following a domestic altercation. Sean Ryan Bostwick, 23, of Goltry has been charged with two felonies related to the domestic call: (1) domestic assault and battery by strangulation and (2) possession of sawed-off shotgun. He’s also charged with domestic assault and battery in the presence of a minor, a misdemeanor. Another felony charge was filed against Bostwick on the same date on an unrelated vandalism incident: malicious injury to property. Bonds set in the four charges totaled $22,500. Bostwick has been released on bond, and his next appearance before a judge in Alfalfa County has been set for March 2 at 9:30 a.m. According to court documents, on Thursday, Feb. 25, Alfalfa County Deputy Sheriff Gary Mast was sent to a domestic assault and battery in Goltry about 7:30 a.m. The dispatcher told him
711
the man had left the scene. Deputy Mast met with Cassandra Bisel at her home. He described her as visibly shaken up and that she appeared to have been crying. He asked if she was injured, and she said she didn’t think so. Mast stated he could tell some sort of altercation had occurred. A kitchen chair broken into several pieces was laid against the side of the refrigerator. The refrigerator had several dents in the side and just below the handle. Bisel said the dents were from Sean Bostwick punching it. Bisel said she stayed up late the night before trying to do the taxes but didn’t get them done because of everything being closed. She said she was scared to tell Bostwick. She said about 6:45 a.m. Bostwick got out of bed to get ready for work. Bisel said she stayed in bed. She said Bostwick began to question her about how much money they would get back on taxes, and she told him she couldn’t get the taxes done. Bisel said Bostwick asked for all the paperwork so he could have his foster mother do the taxes. She said he wouldn’t even give her time to get out bed, jumped on her, put his hands around her neck and started choking her. She estimated the choking lasted five or ten seconds and said this time was not as bad as he has choked her before. Deputy Mast observed red marks on both sides of Bisel’s neck. Bisel said that during the altercation Bostwick ripped off her sports bra. Mast asked if the children had been present. Bisel said the oldest child was awake but knows if he hears screaming to go to his room. The couple has two children. The
oldest is three and the younger one is one and one-half years old. Bisel told the deputy that Bostwick controls her every move, and she feels trapped. Mast observed that in the southeast bedroom three drawers were pulled from the dresser and scattered about. One drawer was broken. He saw a black sports bra on the bed, and Bisel said that was the one ripped off her. Deputy Mast contacted Cherokee Police Chief Mike Andrews and asked him to pick up Bostwick if he saw him. While Mast was at the residence, Bisel said she had something she wanted to give him. She said it was something Bostwick loves but she didn’t want it in the house. She came back holding a sawed off shotgun. Cassandra Nichole Bisel has filed a protective order against Sean Ryan Bostwick. Malicious Injury to Property According to another affidavit, Deputy Mast had investigated an incident on July 1, 2015, in which Bostwick and another man were suspects. Alfalfa County District Three Commissioner Toby Walker had reported vandalism to an excavator parked at a work site near Goltry. Numerous windows were broken out and the lever on the seat was bent. Tire tracks at the scene showed a vehicle of less than full size had been at the location. Mast was told by county workers that Matt Stephens drove a small grey Chevrolet or Toyota pickup without a bed. On Feb. 25, 2016, Mast received a statement from Bostwick’s girlfriend Cassandra Bisel stating that Bostwick and Stephens broke windows and vandalized a track-hoe. Damages to the excavator are estimated at $2,300. Matthew Miller Stephens, 26, has been charged with malicious injury to property, a felony. (As noted above, Bostwick is facing the same charge.) A warrant has been issued for his arrest. No address was listed for Stephens. Mast states that Stephens sometimes goes by Matt Miller or Matthew Strickland with two different dates of birth. He was told by Bisel that Stephens is now working and living in Alva.

Woodward man announces for District 58 seat Steve Day, who currently serves as Woodward Fire Chief, has announced that he is a Republican candidate for state House District 58. “I’ve spent my whole life in Woodward. I’ve raised my family here and have always sought to serve our community,” Day said.
Steve Day, candidate for Oklahoma House of Representatives
“Now, I hope to serve the people of all of House District 58 as our next state representative. There’s an old saying: ‘It’s not always easy to do the right thing, but it is always right.’ If elected, my promise to you is that I will always try to do the right thing.” House District 58 will be an open seat this year because the incumbent, House Speaker Jeff Hickman, is leaving due to term limits. The district covers the northeast half of Woodward County, along with all of Woods, Major and Alfalfa counties. Born and raised in Woodward, Day graduated from Woodward High School in 1976. A secondgeneration firefighter, Day began his firefighting career in 1978. As fire chief, Day manages 24 full-time and 20 part-time employees and is responsible for the overall operation and budgeting of the Woodward Fire Department. Day and his wife, Twila, have been married for 34 years and have three adult children and three young grandchildren. The couple have been active members of Faith United Methodist Church for the past 30 years. The Days have been active in the community throughout their lives, doing everything from coaching softball and basketball teams to serving as Daisy leaders, Girl Scout

Cookie Chairman, blood donor, and school volunteers. Day also served 20 years on the board of directors for Kid’s Inc. He has been a member of the Oklahoma State Firefighters Association’s Safety and Health Committee for the past 20 years, and currently serves on the Fire Services Committee, which supports volunteer and combination fire departments in Oklahoma. He is a Region I council member for the Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security EMT, and a Woodward County Wildland Fire task force leader. Day has been a fire service instructor for the past 30 years. In 2012, Day received the Fire Fighter of the Year Award for outstanding service to the Woodward area and surrounding communities by the Woodward Moose Lodge. In addition, Day is a small businessman. From 1996 to 2005, he owned and operated a vending company. “As a committed Christian with deeply rooted conservative values, I will work to protect our liberties and family values, ensure public safety, improve education, properly finance roads and bridges, and support policies that produce job opportunities for the people of Northwest Oklahoma,” Day said. “In the weeks and months leading up to the June 28 Republican primary, I will be campaigning throughout the district to meet with as many Republican voters as possible and personally ask for their vote,” he added.

FACS students meet with lawmakers at the State Capitol Morgan Clem, Taylor Miller and Frances Mustard, FCCLA officers from Cherokee High School, visited their legislators at the state capitol on Feb. 25. The event was designed to stress the importance of being a leader within their families, careers and communities. The purpose of the visit was to meet with Oklahoma representatives and senators to share FACS classroom and FCCLA chapter activities with their legislative districts and to thank them for supporting the Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) program. Coursework for students enrolled in FACS programs includes financial literacy, nutrition and wellness, personal and family relationships, decision making and leadership. Students had the opportunity to tour the capitol and were introduced in the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Joe Shirley told his story. “My stomach had been hurting for two or three weeks. Finally I said to myself, ‘This is nuts!’ So I went to see Dr. Self. He poked around at bit and said, I think we’d better do a CT scan.”
“He sent me to Share Medical Center for the scan and I can’t say enough good things about the people out there. They were wonderful. And, the barium I had to drink wasn’t that bad. Also, another great thing is the paperwork took only ten minutes. They’ve got it figured out where you don’t sit there for an hour filling out redundant paperwork.

“They came back with results that afternoon. The diagnosis was diverticulitis. It’s an infection of the colon, which is the same thing my mother used to have. I took some antibiotics and I’m fine now.” “I recommend this hospital highly and we’ve got to use it to keep it,” Joe said.

We provide an important photo restoration service to the Alva area. This is a heartbreaking story. The old faded pictures were of three children of Charlene Graham. They died in the 1965 flooding in Colorado when the car they were riding was washed off the road. Now, the final photos of the three children are fading and Charlene brought them to us for restoration.

Cherokee woman injured in collision By Marione Martin A Cherokee woman was injured in a two vehicle collision Sunday near Burlington. The wreck occurred at 8:50 a.m. two miles south and three miles east of Burlington on State Highway 8 in Alfalfa County. William Dale Stout, 87, of Cherokee was driving a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze south on State Highway 8. Roger Dale Kildow, 64, of Cherokee in a 1967 Chevrolet truck was driving west on Kay Road. The brakes on Kildow’s vehicle failed and the truck traveled through the intersection striking the Stout car. The Stout vehicle traveled 66 feet southeast after the impact, coming to rest in the east ditch. The Kildow truck went one-tenth of a mile from the point
of impact, coming to rest in the west ditch. Evelyn Stout, 87, of Cherokee, a passenger in the car, was transported by Alfalfa County EMS to Share Medical Center in Alva and then air lifted to OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City. She was admitted for head, arm and leg injuries and listed in stable condition. William Dale Stout was transported to Share Medical Center by Alfalfa County EMS. He was treated for a head injury and released. Kildow was not injured. The cause of the wreck was listed as an unsafe vehicle referring to the Kildow truck. William Stout was wearing his seatbelt but Evelyn Stout was not. Kildow’s vehicle does not have
X
seatbelts. Trooper Ray Robertson investigated, assisted by Trooper Gene Goodson, Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Office, Cherokee Fire & Rescue and Alfalfa County EMS.

Audit of county commissioner group questions credit card use OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – A state audit released Monday says the Association of County Commissioners of Oklahoma “has no policies, procedures or guidelines governing their credit card purchases” and that the organization put $273,000 worth of travel, gifts, food and party-related expenses on its credit cards in a twoyear period. The findings, part of an investigative audit released by State Auditor & Inspector Gary Jones’ office, states that gifts were purchased for board members between January 2013 and March 2015 in possible violation of the group’s bylaws and articles of association. The gifts included clothing, knives and a gun case purchased for an outgoing board president in 2013. The audit says some gifts awarded as door prizes, contest prizes and
travel and meal expenses did not appear to be necessary to accomplish the purposes of the organization, which operates insurance and risk management services programs and works to improve and upgrade county governments across the state. The audit also says that some of the organization’s gifts, prizes and transactions were not reported as required by IRS guidelines, which state that clothing not required as a condition of employment as well as cash, gift cards and non-cash prizes won by employees from random drawings at employer-sponsored events are taxable. The audit was requested by Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater, who said in a March 6, 2015, letter to Jones his office had received information “that public funds had

been misappropriated by individuals who manage” the organization’s money. The audit says about 88 percent of the group’s funding is from public sources. On Monday, Prater said a preliminary draft of the audit was turned over to his office on Friday. “We’re reviewing it to determine what they’re findings are and how to proceed,” Prater said. An attorney for the organization, Robert McCampbell, said in an email to The Associated Press that board chairman Gary Starns and other officials plan to review the report and correct any deficiencies. “ACCO has been under new management for the past eleven months and has already corrected

By Lynn L. Martin Share Medical Center patients can now access and visit with a St. Anthony Hospital doctor with the touch of a button. The service went live on March 1, and is called a tele-hospitalist program. Robert (Bobby to many Alvans) Rader MD is the chief of staff of St. Anthony Hospital and director of clinical integration. In addition, he is a doctor of pharmacy and has an MBA. He is the son of former Alva School Superintendent Don Rader, and his wife, Audry. (I took his senior pictures back when he graduated from high school.) At Friday’s Alva Chamber of Commerce luncheon, Rader announced that
Share Medical Center is joining together with St. Anthony’s Affiliate Health Network to bring a tele-hospitalist program to Alva. He explained that a hospitalist is a physician who works only in a hospital. If a patient in Share Medical Center needs attention and his local doctor is not in the building, the nurse can activate the telemedicine unit, which consists of a high-definition camera and a regular camera. There are two monitors: one displays the doctor and the other displays the patient. Rader said, “We can have a face-toface conversation just like we would if I’m standing there in the room. “Once we have the interview and dis-
cuss what is going on with the patient’s situation, we can do a physical exam with the physician guiding the nurse. There’s a stethoscope that plugs into the machine. I can put on a pair of headphones and I can hear heartbeat, breath sounds ... all the different examination procedures just as if I’m in the room with the patient because of the help of the nurse,” he said. “When the examination is complete, we’ll discuss your care and what needs to be done. If there is a family member in the room, they’ll have a chance to provide input. The nurse can also provide input on any additional item he/she may have noticed. Then I simply issue the orders as to the treatment just as if the physician were in the room,” Rader said. Advantages The physician outlined numerous advantages to this use of technology. First, the patient doesn’t initially have to be transferred to the main St. Anthony Hospital in Oklahoma City either by a threehour vehicle ride or an expensive helicopter trip. “Very often we can keep the patient in the local facility longer as I have available to me consultants that I can bounce questions off of as to what I might do and possibly keep those patients in their home facility,” Rader said.

Border Line Theatre’s opening weekend was a 'swimming success' “The Dixie Swim Club” final dinner theater show Saturday, matinee Sunday A Review by Yvonne Miller Admit it, audience. Weren’t you a wee bit nervous that the Border Line Theatre’s spring production of “The Dixie Swim Club” might not be as good with a fivemember cast of young women – not all the familiar BLT veterans that you’ve loved to watch through the years? Well, there was no need for concern. No one was disappointed with the young performers – they blew it out of the water! In fact, on opening night Saturday, the crowd hardly stopped laughing and cheering while the applause meter pushed to the limit as they watched those five young women play their roles as perfectly as their college swim team record. As the “girls” arrived on stage, which was a North Carolina beach cottage where the “team” meets for a reunion every summer since graduation, each character brought down the house when they burst through the door. The plot centered around four of
those weekends over a 33-year span. At intermission and after the final curtain call people from the audience described the play to me as “hilarious,” “really cute,” “so funny,” “those girls were cast perfectly,” “I can’t believe they could memorize all those lines,” “great directing,” and on and on. There were moments I thought one actress might steal a scene, then another would come along with yet more comments or actions that were the crowning olive for the martinis the girls loved to drink on their weekends with no men, kids, bras or work. Speaking of martinis brings actress Reiley Courson to mind. A senior at South Barber High School, Courson proved acting talents beyond her years as a highpowered attorney who loves success as much as she likes stirring martinis for herself and her teammates. With a sense of humor as dry as her drink of choice, she was brilliant at delivering endless
Just a senior in high school, Reiley Courson has acting talents beyond her years in Border Line's “The Dixie Swim Club.” Having a drink in hand is how Reiley's character is most comfortable throughout this comedy. Photo by Yvonne Miller
wisecracks with facial expressions that had the crowd laughing until they hurt. She’s appeared in previous BLT productions as a youth. As the swim team captain, first-timer LiliAna Meade of Kiowa hustled around the stage as the precise organizer she was in college. Her real-life personality of being friendly and sincere emanated through her smile. A health nut, her goal was to keep the girls healthy with her “tasty” healthy snacks, exercise regime and of course organize their weekends. Exuding efficiency and a can-do attitude in a likable manner, Meade was the even keel that steadied the sometimes volatile waters. Her skills as a real-life nanny came in handy as keeping the team’s beach weekends together were sometimes like herding cats. Speaking of cats, the southern belle character played by Emily Rugg was always on the prowl for a hot-blooded new
See Review Page 46
While other members of her college swim team age with plain gray hair and a dowdy look, the true southern belle character played by Emily Rugg is a vision in her twilight years. This is a scene from the Border Line Theatre's play that has final performances this weekend. Photo by Yvonne Miller

South Barber freshman Cole Coggins selected for Down Under basketball Pizza fundraiser through Syd Sterling Sunday, March 6; call to order By Yvonne Miller A 6’2” freshman at South Barber High School (SBHS) in Kiowa, Kansas, Cole Coggins is one of the athletes selected to play basketball in Australia this summer. Playing for the SBHS Chieftains, Coggins said he averages seven to eight rebounds per game and around 12 points. Based on his statistics, Coggins was one of the students asked to play in the Down Under Sports Tournaments hosted on the Gold Coast of Australia. Other students from SBHS have attended this international event. Some were invited and did not chose to attend. Coggins will represent his community, state and country as a member of the Central Conference Boys Basketball Team. When asked how he felt about the honor, Coggins said, “I was shocked and surprised because I thought it was just for juniors and seniors.” He is the son of John and Kristi Coggins of Kiowa. The trip costs roughly $5,500. As is customary for this type of trip, most students do some fundraising to make the trip possible. Eat Syd’s Homemade Pizza Sunday and Support Coggins You can help Coggins raise funds and enjoy homemade pizza by Syd Sterling this coming Sunday, March 6, from 5 to 7 p.m. You can call into Yur Place at Hardtner, Kansas, to order at 620-296-4477. You can pick up your pizza or Coggins and his family and friends will deliver.
Sterling explained she uses the delicious pizza crusts made at Value Added Products (VAP), the frozen dough cooperative in Alva. She uses freshly browned hamburger, sausage, pepperoni and a variety of veges, sauce and cheese to create pizzas made to order to your specifications. Coggins, his family and friends help Sterling assemble the pizzas. She sets up an assembly line with participants wearing plastic gloves and following other cleanliness procedures. If someone doesn’t want pizza, Sterling said they can order a burger and fries. Sterling said she’s done many of these fundraiser events with the pizza that have been successful. Many of those have been for causes in Hardtner like the swimming pool, rodeo, grocery store, 4-H group, etc. She donates some of the ingredients
and her time. The group raising funds provides some of the ingredients and labor to assemble the pizzas and deliver. Sterling reminded, “We’re not a pizza place. We can only do so many pizzas at a time.” That’s why it’s wise to call ahead so she can plan.

man with money. The short, perky blonde perfectly portrayed a self-absorbed drama queen who was more interested in keeping her neck wrinkle-free than a husband. Her voice and facial expressions as she told her tales of the many men in her life were as precise as the surgeries that kept her face wrinkle-free ... not to mention hilarious. The crowd’s love of this spitfire grew as large as her plastic-surgeryenhanced boobs through the girls’ annual visits to the beach. No wonder Rugg, a junior at South Barber, gave an awardwinning performance, she grew up around BLT, appearing in several children’s productions. Her father Justin has starred in and directed many BLT productions as he did this winner with co-director Kevin Cox. The only true veteran actress of Border
Would you hire a former nun in this questionable interview get-up one of “friends” suggested she wear? Yes, it was better than her first try. Rebekah Wagenbach brings laughs to the crowd as ditzy and sweet as her character. This is a scene from the Border Line Theatre's play “The Dixie Swim Club,” that has final performances this weekend. Photo by Yvonne Miller
Line productions in this play, Rebekah Wagenbach of Kiowa, once again proved why the audience loves to see her onstage. A description of her in the BLT program describes her as the “ditzy ray of sunshine of the group.” She’s that and more as the swim team member who became a nun but doesn’t exactly turn into Mother Superior. She shows just the right amount of charm to win the hearts of the crowd and when modeling potential job interview attire has the laughter meter exploding. What can you say about Bayli Hyde, a junior at Burlington High School, and the hard luck character she plays? My answer is “funny to the core.” When she bursts through the door and flies across stage to the bathroom, she instantly has you right where she wants you. Throughout the play, she makes a beeline to the bathroom in a variety of ways – with arm in a sling; wearing a neck brace; in a foot boot; in a clown suit with a cane and on and on. She’s just so matter-of-fact about her tough life with deadpan expressions and vocal intonation that the crowd loves laughing at her when her character doesn’t even realize she’s funny. Hyde plays her character like
the tough swimmer she was that beat even the boys. Her commanding meltdown over her health nut friend not wanting to serve biscuits has everyone standing at attention and is a favorite moment in the play. Hyde was in numerous BLT children’s productions. The make-up artists are to be commended for the job they did of transforming the young women into ladies in their twilight years. The stage design and back stage crew, the kitchen helpers and the steak grillers are to be commended for another weekend of fun at Kiowa’s Community Building. You still have the opportunity to slip into this beach setting and escape from the reality of election madness for a few hours. The final dinner theatre is this Saturday, March 5. You can get tickets for $25 each which includes a grilled steak dinner and watching this light-hearted play that has some tender moments. Dinner theatre tickets are available by calling Janet Robison 620-825-4369. The final performance is the Sunday matinee, March 6 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available for $5, adults; $3 students.
Usually easygoing as she travels through the bumpy road of her life, Bayli Hyde's character (right) finally has a meltdown as hilarious as the entire play when she lets her health nut friend played by LiliAna Meade have it over whether or not to serve biscuits. This is in Border Line Theatre's comedy production of “The Dixie Swim Club” that has its final two performances Saturday and Sunday. Photo by Yvonne Miller

forced child labor. There’s also the very real possibility that a belligerent kid will just take a swing at one of us – again – because he or she wasn’t taught respect for authority at home. Did I mention how we had to let go of our security officers because we could no longer afford them? We now share one single solitary Oklahoma County Sheriff’s deputy with our ninth grade center and our middle school and alternative school. That’s one deputy for about 1,300 students. We can no longer afford rolls of colored paper or paint or tape to make signs to support and advertise our Student Council activities. This fall our football team won’t charge through a decorated banner as they take the field because we can’t afford to make the banner. There won’t be any new textbooks in the foreseeable future. Broken desks won’t be replaced. We’re about to ration copy paper and we’ve already had the desktop printers taken out of our
rooms. We live in fear that our colleagues will leave us, not just because they are our friends, but because the district wouldn’t replace them even if we could lure new teachers to our inner-city schools during the teacher shortage you have caused. We fear our classes doubling in size. We fear becoming as ineffective as you are. Not because we can’t or won’t do our job, like you, but because you keep passing mandates to make us better while taking away all the resources we need just to maintain the status quo. We fear that our second jobs will prevent us from grading the papers or creating the lesson plans we already have to do from home. We fear our families will leave us because we don’t have time for them. I am the chairman of my department. It tears at my heart to know that my best teacher cries over the dilemma she’s facing right now. She loves her job, but she’s
afraid she can no longer afford to continue in this profession. It’s something we’re all dealing with. How far will you push us? What will you do without us when we leave the classroom or leave the state? It’s happening. You know it’s happening, and yet you do nothing. You, the representatives, senators, and governor of Oklahoma are creating a population of ignorant peasants fit only to work in the oil field and factories you bring to this state by promising those businesses won’t have to pay their fair share of taxes. You leave our kids in a cycle of poverty and abuse while your pet donor oil companies destroy the bedrock beneath us, shaking our homes to pieces while you deny your part in all of it. Parents, I beg you to love your children the way we love your children. Vote for people who will help teachers educate and nurture the kids we share. We can’t do it alone anymore.

GARY LEE STONER Funeral services for Gary Lee Stoner were held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, February 24, 2016, at the United Methodist Church in Alva, with Rev. John Bizzell and Rev. Dr. Carol Cook Moore officiating. Burial followed in the Alva Municipal Cemetery under the direction of Wentworth Mortuary, LLC.

many of the issues discussed in the audit report,” Starns is quoted in the email. The organization fired its executive director less than two weeks after Prater requested the audit.

The doctor said when you have the care in the community at your home hospital, you are being cared for by people who know you and we can keep those resources close to home. I think there is a tremendous opportunity to help save some of our rural hospitals. We’re all struggling with money issues. “I also think it is a huge advan-
tage to local physicians to provide a little bit of relief because every body is having difficulty getting and maintaining local providers in small communities.” He notes families benefit because they don’t have to take off work, drive to the city and find a place to stay for several days while the family member is still in hospital.
