Lynn Says
Free enterprise business vs. price controlled business By Lynn L. Martin This is an attempt to explain why the Alva City Council requires a “show cause” study before permitting a new hospital or clinic to open up in Alva. This will be a discussion about the two different types of businesses in our good old USA. The free-enterprise arguments that work for one do not work for the other. Let me provide three illustrations. My first career was in the radio broadcasting business. During that time, I became familiar with the Federal Communications Commission’s rules regarding the establishment of new radio stations. Because there is not unlimited radio broadcast spectrum space, the FCC requires anyone wanting a radio station license to “show cause” why the station was needed in a particular community. They did not want to waste precious frequency space in towns that could not support or did not have sufficient community needs for a radio station or a second or third radio station. As a person in broadcast, I hated having to do the community surveys that were required to establish a station. You had to repeat it every license renewal time (every three years). The licensee had to interview all the city and county officials, along with religious representatives, school officials, farmers, medical people, regular housewives and househusbands, senior citizens and students. After the interviews, you had to write about a 100-page report to the FCC as to “how” you proposed to serve each of these entities. So back in the olden days, we had “block programming” and we had to propose blocks of programming to please the religious segment, and the housewife segment, and the law enforcement segment, and so on. The bottom line was if you were granted a free frequency (now it’s not free), you had to justify it with sufficient community service. There was also a requirement for economic proof that if you were permitted to build the radio station, there would be sufficient advertising revenue to keep
the station on the air and to pay for that specialized programming you promised. Alva, Oklahoma, is a good example of why that “show cause” standard was needed. When KALV went on the air in the mid 1950s, it jumped through the “show cause” hoops. Even so, the station just barely was able to stay on the air. Before we purchased the station in 1969, the economics were so bad that when paychecks were issued the employees would race to town to see who could cash their check and who couldn’t. We were the first owners who had actually been in the radio business before owning KALV. Because of our experience, we were able to turn it around and make it a reasonable business. Then, in about 1981, another license was granted for a station in Alva: KXLS. This was a 100,000 watt FM station. We were amazed the license was granted because by then Alva had falling population and fewer businesses. Why on earth did Alva need a station with a signal that reached all the way to Oklahoma City? While the station had an excellent sound, no one could afford the $25 commercials (KALV was getting about $5 per commercial at the time) and within a couple of years, the station applied to the FCC to be jointly licensed to Enid. Soon, the Alva studio disappeared. After we sold KALV in 1988, the FCC received another license application for a frequency available in Alva. A 700-foot tower was built five miles east of town and the station briefly operated under the call sign KTTL. It went “dark” because it could not economically make it. By this time, it was apparent the FCC had abandoned most “show cause” standards and lots of money and frequency spectrum was wasted trying to allocate three radio stations to a town of 5,000. Why Cities Got in the Franchising
Business When Alva wanted electric power, they had to promise OG&E (founded in 1902) a 25-year exclusive franchise that was renewable depending on good performance. This is because of the horrendous expense of placing power poles and hanging copper wire over every block in town. Virtually every small town that wanted big-city features like electric power had to make deals like this. When Alva wanted natural gas, Zenith Gas Company first offered some natural gas in Alva, but they sold out to ONG (founded in 1906). Part of that deal is an exclusive franchise with the city that has to be renewed. When Alva wanted telephone service, they had to strike an exclusive deal with Bell Systems (formerly Missouri and Kansas Telephone Company), which later became Southwestern Bell. It was going to cost a ton of money to erect more poles and hang more copper wire to cover Alva. If we wanted telephone service, we had to make an exclusive deal. When television came along, those who could afford it put up tall spindly poles on their houses with antenna rotors on top and on good days they could receive a Wichita channel and a couple of Oklahoma City channels. A group of Alva businessmen put up a translator tower and rebroadcast station east of Alva so both Alvans and rural people could have clearer TV by paying a volunteer monthly fee. Finally, the Alva cable company was created and miles of coax, along with frequent re-amplifiers, were constructed. The city of Alva granted a franchise for pole erection in city rightof- ways. (In general, the power company, the phone company, and the cable company
“Will a new clinic utilize minor surgery, x-rays services, CT scans or MRIs at Share Medical Center? That’s a positive. If they send all the business out of town, that’s a negative.”

Burlington School moving a new house to town, reemploys non-certified personnel Daniel Ross Class A State 300 High Hurdles Champion By Yvonne Miller The Burlington Board of Education held most of its regular monthly meeting May 18 and reconvened briefly the morning of May 20 to finish business. Board President Terry Graham called the May 18 meeting to order with members present including Allison Armbruster, Roger Allen and T.J. Rockenbach. Aaron Smith was absent. Superintendent Glen Elliott, Principal Shane Feely, and Minutes Clerk Tamre Bohn were also present. The board previously discussed and at the May 18 meeting, following a 30-minute executive session, voted to purchase a house owned by the Autry Technology Center in Enid for $69,000. The house was built by Autry students. Elliott said it will be used as a teacherage. When asked who will reside there, he said it is not yet determined. The house will be moved from Enid to Burlington in early July. The superintendent said the house must be in place by August. It will be placed on the school-owned lot that is diagonally across from the school to the northwest. The lot at 308 Main is directly north of vintage house. Superintendent Elliott said he would be delivering the check for 10 percent down on the house to Autry Technology Center and that he had been in contact with several moving companies. The agenda item regarding acquiring rental property was tabled until the May 20 meeting attended by all board members except Armbruster. At that meeting Elliott announced that a bid was placed on rental property for $90 an acre; however, the winning bid was $100 an acre. Elliott told the Newsgram that rental property was for 130 acres of wheat the school would have used for an FFA slab. The board held a 15 minute executive session to discuss
employment of non-certified personnel. Upon return to open session, the board voted to re-employ non-certified personnel Tamre Bohn, Brenda Stricker, Fawnda Martin, Neal Gordon, Max Boothby, Dale Duggins, Ginger Cass, Cheryl Czerniak and David Cass. They also voted to employ Konya Martin for speech language pathology services. The superintendent said she will work the equivalent of about one day or as needed based on the number of students needing pathology services. Paraprofessional Shannon Shrum was employed for an extended school year summer program to teach a student. Other Burlington School Board Business The board discussed the 2014 district profile report. They noted the dropout rate was zero. The following encumbrances, change orders and warrants were approved as follows: General Fund • Encumbrances 445-475 $72,490.82 -$91.53 • Change Orders • Warrants 1179-1280 $298,902.21 1281-1331 $98,863.56 • June payroll • July payroll 1332-1368 $97,706.80 Building Fund • Encumbrances None • Warrants 11 $124.25 Child Nutrition Fund • Encumbrances None • Change Orders None 96-105 $5,457.20 • Warrants • June payroll 106-112 $1,982.91 • July payroll 113-119 $1,896.79 Other board-approved items include the April activity fund report, the contract with Alcohol & Drug Testing Inc. for 20152016 school year, student insurance again through Student Resources for the 2015-2016 school year and the 2015-2016 technology plan. Unused personal days were reviewed. Temporary appropriations were approved at 90 percent for the 2015-2016 General Fund of $3,279,391, Building Fund of $442,532, Child Nutrition Fund of $54,746, Transportation Bond of $6,419 and Building Bond No. 33 of $35,000. In his superintendent report, Elliott told of the upcoming OSSBA/CCOSA conference in August, school property and liability insurance (for which he did not yet have renewal amounts) and legislation. Principal Feely announcements included that Sarah Garvie and Allyson Stewart received Washington Leadership Conference Scholarships through FFA. He also said that Daniel Ross is the 2014-2015 Class A 300 High Hurdles State Champion.

Kiowa District Hospital Annual Meeting, audit and administrative reports Jeff Miller elected to board by acclamation By Yvonne Miller Last Wednesday evening nearly 50 people attended the Kiowa District Hospital Annual Meeting. Held at Kiowa’s Community Building, the meeting lasted about 30 minutes. BKD auditing firm representative Matt Morris presented KDH’s financial report and audit for 2014. Morris replaced John Harris, who presented the hospital’s audit in Kiowa for years, but retired. Morris told the crowd, “Your volume trend this year is up.” He said, “The advantage for you is the new facility. You did not make a Taj Mahal or overbuild.” Morris said that regarding the financial statement the hospital district has lots more depreciation, “which is good because of the new hospital.” Reviewing the consolidated balance sheets for 2014, Morris noted several items: The district’s cash was down over the prior year. The hospital was up in volume. The hospital will be paid more by Medicare. The hospital did well on collecting accounts receivable. Morris said “It was a significant improvement over the previous year.” At the end of 2014 the hospital district has total liabilities and assets of $11,724,547. CEO Gives Overview KDH Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Margaret Grismer addressed the crowd for a few moments, offering highlights of the year. First she thanked Steve Davis who served as interim administrator before, during and after the move to the new facility. “I want to thank the board and community for allowing me to serve,” Grismer said. She began her role as CEO in November 2014. Grismer said the facility “is fully staffed,” and added, “It’s exciting to have three providers,” referring to Dr. Paul Wilhelm, Dr. Christie Leal, D.O., and Physician’s Assistant Melissa Stroh. She thanked the Friends of the KDH
and Manor Foundation and the “huge community effort” that enabled the hospital district to meet its financial obligation for the new facility. The CEO said the hospital met the Phase II Medicare requirements and are in compliance. She said the surveys were good and several IT improvements were made. The manor revitalization project is ongoing and will hopefully be complete by July. Grismer praised the help and volunteerism of so many to make this revitalization a reality. Grismer told of advantages for KDH, a critical access hospital, of their recently joining the Wheat Plains Health Network through Via Christi. She told of the extensive training staff is doing to be prepared with the latest information. Jeff Miller Elected to Board One seat was open on the board. That seat was previously held by Zach Odell who did not seek reelection. Odell is moving from the community. Local farmer/rancher Jeff Miller was nominated for the board. Nominations ceased and Miller was elected by
acclamation. As reported last month, former board member and businessman Pat Myers was appointed to the board to fill the unexpired term (which has one year remaining) of Lori Schrock who resigned from the board. With the annual meeting concluded, Miller took his seat at the board table with Myers, Brenna May, Jim Parker and Chantae Simpson. The board then elected officers and held the regular May meeting of the board which can be seen in the Newsgram next week.

Summer safety for wildlife Summer is almost here and it’s the time of year when all local wildlife begin to rear their young. Deer fawns are typically born in May to early June and become visable in late June. It is important to rememeber that anyone who finds any baby wiidlife needs to stay at a distance as it’s mother will return for it after you’ve left the area. Chances are that the moiher is close by and possibly even watching. If you find yourself in this situation with children present it can be a great opportuninty to have a teachable moment but at a safe distance, of course. Possession of baby wildlife is illegal and punishable with stiff fines even though you may have the best of intentions. The best bet for baby wildlife to survive is with their mother. Baby critters are cute but the
wild ones, by law, absolutely cannot be pets. There are licensed rehabilitators around the state with the correct permits to take care of injured or baby animals, but it’s best to leave them where you found them and let their mother do her job. Young birds will often be blown out of their nests during storms typically at this time of year. Again, it is important to stay away from these seemingly helpless and abandoned baby birds. Even though they appear to be not taken care of their mother is often unseen and will provide the baby with the help and nourishment it needs. Spring rains have made fishing below the spillway in the Salt Fork River at Salt Plains Lake very fruitful as of late. Although the fishing in the lake is still slow, officials

are optimistic that if conditions stay stable and favorable the lake will become the rich and bountiful catfish fishing destination that it once was. Free fishing days are June 6 and 7 this year, and the event is geared toward getting Oklahoma residents out and to get introduced to the great sport of fishing free of license costs. So please, if you can, introduce a youngster to the joys of fishing. The deadline to get a farm pond inpected to be stocked with fish (free of charge) by the Department of Wildlife Conservation is May 31. For all you Canton Walleye Wranglers, July 1 is the date that the regulations change and lift the statewide 18-inch minimum length limit on Walleye, Sauger, and Saugeye. The new length limit will be a minimum of 14 inches on those fish species. Alfalfa County Hunter Safety class will be held on Oct. 10 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Baker Building, 201 S.

The 2015 Miss South Barber is ... Ammorae Williams By Yvonne Miller Four junior girls transformed into elegant young women wearing sequined and shimmering gowns as contestants to compete for the Miss South Barber title in a pageant held at 9 a.m. Tuesday, May 12.
Singing “Act Naturally” Ammorae Williams gives a light-hearted, fun performance with a big voice as she easily moves around the stage and strikes a pose momentarily to win the Miss South Barber title. Photo by Yvonne Miller
Each girl proved the Senior Class of 2016 has talent. Singing “Act Naturally,” Ammorae Williams showed she is a natural on stage with her fun performance that showcased her experienced voice and personality as she sang the words, “They’re gonna put me in the movies. They’re gonna make a big star out of me.”
Ammorae Williams is the 2015 Miss South Barber and will compete in the Miss Cinderella Pageant during NWOSU’s Homecoming in Alva, Oct. 8-10. Photo by Yvonne Miller
The judges were Heather Reames of Anthony, Kansas; David Pecha, Ph.D., NWOSU vice-president for administration; and former Miss South Barber and NWOSU student Naicee Gugelmeyer. They selected Williams as the 2015 Miss South Barber who will represent her school in the Miss Cinderella Pageant during NWOSU’s Homecoming in Alva Oct. 8-10. Their decision was based on interview, the poise and evening gown competition and talent. The new Miss South Barber is the daughter of Aimee Williams Bryan and Jeff Bryan. The other contestants were: Reiley Courson who sang “Hallelujah” with a strong alto voice; Caitlin Jacobs who sang “Popular” with an abundance of personality, showing why she placed at state forensics; and Kori Leech who played a favorite piano solo, “Moonlight Sonata,” with feeling. The SBHS Speech and Drama classes provided jokes and entertainment in between competitions and while the judges reached a decision. From that group, Clay Holcomb and 2015 graduate Daniel Anderson were Masters of Ceremonies. The MCs and the whole group had the audience laughing to the point of crying they were so hilarious. Meagan Henry is pageant director and speech and drama teacher.
These young women shine in their evening gowns after competing for the Miss South Barber title in a pageant last week. Pictured are (left to right) Reiley Courson, Miss South Barber Ammorae Williams, Kori Leech and Caitlin Jacobs. Photo by Yvonne Miller

Idallis Shaffer stands behind playing percussion. Playing trumpet, Kolby earned a I rating at both regionals and state. Joseph earned a I rating at regionals with his tuba solo. At the program, Kolby stood behind the risers and screen and played his trumpet as if it were singing as the Junior High Choir sang the beautiful song Kyrie meaning “Lord have mercy on us.” At the conclusion of song when choir director Boram Shin had Kolby emerge from behind the screen, he received thunderous applause.

do not like to share poles. However, in later years some pole sharing deals were made.) Because these franchised monopolies could have communities by the throat price-wise, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission was established in 1907. Eventually, the rates charged by these various utility companies (not the cable company) were regulated by the state. If they want to raise rates, they’ve got to do a “show cause” hearing to justify the change. That Brings Us to Share Medical Center Private enterprise businesses who can set their own prices come and go. That’s the risk of free enterprise. National statistics from the Perry Group says that most restaurants close during their first year of operation. Seventy percent of those that make it past the first year close their doors in the next three to five years. Do you remember names like OTASCO, Coast to Coast, Gibson’s, Safeway, Homeland, Ideal Supermarket, J. C. Penny, C. R. Anthony, Dollar General, Ed’s Mart, Magnuson’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Dairy Queen? These all existed at some time while I have lived in Alva. They disappeared because of the brutality of the American free-enterprise system. While we regret their disappearance and are sorry for the money invested and lost,
it was private money. Not taxpayer money. As citizens, we don’t want our basic infrastructure going in and out of business like the above mentioned free-enterprise businesses. Do you want the power company to go out of business for a while and then attempted again by someone else? How about the natural gas people? I guess we could all quickly buy and install propane tanks, but it would be a big expense and a great inconvenience. We taxpayers have something like a $20 million investment in Share Medical Center. We want that important portion of our infrastructure to be around. We want more than a medical clinic. We want it so badly that we’ve passed a sales tax to help support it. Unfortunately, the hospital business is not free enterprise. The federal government sets the rates. In fact, at the last hospital board meeting, the financial report revealed that Medicare is only paying 52 percent of a bill generated by the hospital. Because of the federal government’s heavy hand, nearby hospitals such as Cherokee and Waynoka have closed their doors. Last month, Share Medical Center had a loss of $181,000 in one month. After the sales tax subsidy, the loss was reduced to about $26,000.
A bright spot on the scene for Share Medical Center has been the success of the recently inaugurated urgent care clinic. After being overwhelmed during flu season, which has now gone away, the hospital has added more mid-level practitioners and is providing great service. Because the hospital is similar to the utility companies in being a price-controlled franchise, the city council passed an ordinance to protect the existence of our $20 million investment. The ordinance says a show cause study needs to be performed by any hospital or urgent care type clinic that wants to come into Alva. The study will need to show whether the economics are there to support both institutions. The economic analysis will be difficult. If a new clinic brings doctors to our community to live that is a positive. On the other hand, if they merely commute a few days a month, that’s a downer. If they bring new specialty clinics we don’t have, that will be a positive. Will they be granted patient admitting privileges to Share Medical Center (an economic positive) or will they ship their patients requiring additional care over to Enid (an economic negative)? Will a new clinic utilize minor surgery, x-rays services, CT scans or MRIs at Share Medical Center? That’s a positive. If they send all the business out of town, that’s a negative. If a new clinic is permitted, will they operate seven days a week as do the hospital and the urgent care clinic? These are all reasonable questions. If Alva cannot support both, then the end result will logically be no hospital and two health care clinics. So the city council has put themselves in a position similar to the Corporation Commission. They likely hold a life-or-death decision in their hands, one way or another.

Woods County Equalization Board to hear appeals By Lynn L. Martin The same three members serve on both the Woods County Excise Board and the Woods County Equalization Board. On May 20, the board met as the excise board with members Bob Seivert and Chris Olson present. Rob Nida was absent. The board will meet as the equalization board this Thursday, May 28, at 8:30 a.m. to hear two appeals regarding assessment of property tax values. At 8:30 am, the board will hear the appeal of Plainview Brine represented by Dennis Schroeder. At 9 am, Felderhoff Bros. Drilling, rep-
resented by Merit Advisors LP, will make their case. When the group met as the excise board on May 20, they approved money transfers previously OKed by the Woods County commissioners. The sheriff transferred $2,400 from PartTime to Personal Services; the E911 transfer funds from a travel account to M and O (Maintenance and Operations) in the amount of $1000. The court clerk transferred $2,400 from Travel to Personal Services. From the County General Fund, $2,500 was transferred from Capital Outlay to Juvenile Detention. The as-
sessor transferred $3,000 from Travel to M & O in the amount of $1,500 and to Capital Outlay in the amount of $1400. The excise board gave approval to the fair board to move $100,000 from T&R M&O to Capital Outlay for roofing repairs and building repairs to the Merchant's Building and Women's Building. On May 20, the equalization board convened and approved an amended Freeport Exemption for McJunkin Red Man Corp. The exemptions was $532,673 on a declared inventory of $5,402,371.

Reaching Rural Customers Is Essential... The Newsgram Works!
Having a business in which you market, sell and ship your products nation and even world wide can make taking time to focus on local marketing in specific areas a challenge. So when I find something that works for our company I stick with it. The Newsgram is one of the only local publications we still use, and we have happily for years. The proven results we get from our ads in the Newsgram to reach those rural customers in the areas it serves, have proven to be some of the best advertising dollars we can spend anywhere. Whether the customers contact us directly or purchase from one of our dealers, we hear often from them that they saw us in the Newsgram. That's how we know our advertising there is working. With great advertising rates and wonderful people to work with the Newsgram is a very economical and reliable way to showcase your products to a tremendous audience. Their kind and courteous sales representative Colette Baier is great at reaching out to me and letting me know when there are extra advertising opportunities available. As I requested early in our relationship, she has customized her contact approach to one that fits a busy schedule. With a quick text or email she will let me know what's available and I can reply when convenient. That works perfectly for me and shows her willingness to do what works best for her customers. The Newsgram can certainly place Advanced Power Inc. in their list of satisfied customers. We couldn't be happier with the publication and the results we receive from advertising in it.

Out of gas and into jail By Marione Martin A driver ran out of fuel, encountered a helpful game warden and ended up in jail. According to court records, on May 19 State Game Warden Ben Bickerstaff called Alfalfa County Deputy Sheriff Dillin Munholland about a vehicle that had run out of gas at Highway 8 and Cotton Road. He told the deputy the woman seemed to be under the influence of something. When Munholland arrived, he spoke to Annie Calwonsen whom he knew from a previous incident in Carmen. He noted that Calwonsen’s speech was very slurred. When he asked her to have a seat in his patrol vehicle, she was unsteady on her feet and stumbling around. Munholland asked what medications she was taking, and she said Prozac and Suboxen. He noticed she was having trouble staying awake. He asked if she had any illegal drugs on her person or in her car, and she said no, that he could look for himself. Deputy Munholland placed her under arrest for public intoxication and took her to the Alfalfa County Jail. Her vehicle was towed. Calwonsen ran into more problems at the jail. On May 20 about 12:15 a.m. Dispatcher Jerry Joe Smith entered the officers’ room and handed Munholland two round white pills with a “V” on one side and “2355” on
the other side. She said an inmate gave her the pills and said it was Percocet. Smith brought the inmate to the officers’ room where Munholland asked her about the pills. She said Calwonsen had brought illegal contraband into the jail. She said Calwonsen pulled an orange pill bottle from her genitals. She said she thought Calwonsen had Lortab, Percocet and San Bars “Xanax”. Munholland had her write out a statement. Munholland called Undersheriff Glenn Oister to assist. Officer Chris Horstman was in the office and said he would help. Calwonsen was removed from the cell. Munholland noticed a small plastic wrapper with white pills inside. He also noticed an orange pill bottle with Calwonsen’s name on it. Inside the pill bottle were 40 white pills matching those the other inmate gave Smith. Smith took Calwonsen to the bathroom so she could search her person again for any other illegal contraband. She said she did not find any other items. The pills were identified as Alprozolam 2 mg, generic for Xanax, a Schedule IV narcotic and Fioricet 50-325-40. On May 21 in Alfalfa County, Annie Jane Calwonsen, 35, Carmen, was charged with bringing contraband drugs into jail, a felony. She was also charged with a misdemeanor of public intoxication.
