South Barber team members medal at Kansas state track meet Nicole Blick state champion of 800-meter run in Class 1A By Yvonne Miller South Barber High School (SBHS) in Kiowa had some medal-winning results in Class 1A at the Kansas state track meet at Wichita State University last Friday and Saturday. Overall, the SBHS women’s team placed ninth. Medals are given to the top eight places, Head Track Coach Steve
Roberts said. Nicole Blick is the state champion in the 800-meter run after winning first place with a time of 2:26.28. Paige Koblitz, 2015 SBHS graduate, took home three medals: for second place in the triple jump with a distance of 3505.75; and seventh place in the women’s 100-meter run, where she ran her personal best with a time of 13.14; for her part in a medal-winning 4x800 relay team. That medal-winning team – composed of Koblitz, Nicole Blick, Ana Wilhelm and Bailey Roberts – placed seventh in the 4x800 relay with a time of 10:48.70.
Kassidy Clark, 2015 SBHS graduate, won eighth in shot put with a throw of 34.04.50.

Lynn Says
How do we get past “Not in my neighborhood!” By Lynn L. Martin Todd Holder is a new board member of the Department of Corrections governing board. He said last week that every meeting he attends around the State of Oklahoma in his new position he is approached by numerous people asking, “What is the secret to Alva’s terrific support of their drug offender work camp, BJCC?” Holder said he tells them, “I’m sorry, but I have no clue.” He continued, “I was born in Alva and have only lived in this one town. I thought all communities were like Alva in how citizens support everything. I guess I’m a little naive.” We’re probably going to find out if the magic can continue. Lots of people contributed lots of money to build a really nice chapel on the grounds at Bill Johnson Correctional Center. The thinking that prompted many of the donations is the hope of influencing some of the drug offenders to believe that putting God in their lives is a good way to turn things around. Indeed, the theory is working on some. A week ago Sunday, I participated in 8:30 a.m. services at that chapel and 125 men showed up. That’s a better attendance
than a majority of the churches in town. I fully understand that not all of them will continue to be faithful regarding church after they get out. But that is no different from churches on the outside. Some people become members, but later stop attending. These inmates are being taught that if they return to the same neighborhood and hang out with the same bad people that led to them getting into trouble in the first place, then they’ll likely end back up in prison again. For many, that means if they want to avoid that problem, they can’t go back home. So Warden Janice Melton is asking the community, “Do we have the ability to give some of these guys the opportunity to stay?” City Manager Joe Don Dunham is with her on this. As you likely know, the City of Alva has had a terrible time hiring enough employees in the face of oil field competition. He mentioned that Plane Plastics and VAP have the same problem, as do many other smaller businesses. Dunham told a story of how the City has utilized a BJCC inmate on their city work crews for the last six to eight months and he has been an excellent employee. Dunham would love to keep him and he said that his city co-workers are fine with the idea. But housing in Alva is often
COUNSELOR POSITION
Oklahoma Department of Rehabilita�on Services will be interviewing for Voca�onal Rehabilita�on Counselor in the ENID office. This posi�on is full-�me with extensive traveling involved. The person must have OR be willing to obtain a Masters in Counseling. Applica�ons must be received by June 17, 2015, 11:59 PM. Go to: www.opm.ok.gov .

$1,000 per month and usually requires sizable utility and rental deposits. Alan Nusser, a volunteer counselor who works with inmates on the Celebrate Recovery program handled by his church, said, “I have three guys in my group who do not want to go back to their homes. One said, ‘I’ve got a mom doing drugs and a dad hooked on alcohol. I just don’t want to go back to that environment.’ Another said, ‘Man, you find me a place there in Alva and I’ll come back.’” The big problem is the cost of housing. The worker the City wants to employ will be released the first week of June. He will be sent out the door with almost no money, no housing and no car to drive to a job. Our system is pretty well setting him up (and all others like him) for failure. The mean-spirited among us will say, “Well, they’re the one’s who did the crime. They created their own problem. Tough!” City Council member Wes Miller has agreed to chair a sub-committee of the BJCC Advisory Committee to figure out a way to ease the re-entry dilemma. He said the sub-committee met last Friday and a few ideas were voiced. “But job one, right now, is this one inmate. We plan to meet again this week.” As far as the problem of the attitude of “not in my neighborhood,” Miller wisely said, “About the only difference between most of the inmates in a minimum security prison and us everyday citizens is they got caught. There’s not a one of us who hasn’t broken some law at one time or another and we simply lucked out without our misdeed being noticed. “Once they’ve ‘paid their debt’ to society by enduring the punishment, we need to step up and give everyone a second chance and not pretend like we’re so much better than they,” he said. Janice Melton and the BJCC Community Advisory Committee are trying to brainstorm ways to help their better graduates make it. The thinking is, “The community of Alva is a shining light in the Department of Corrections system and is so regarded. We’ve set the bar with our prison chapel project success and the inmates are benefiting. Can we become a shining light on the topic of re-entry to society?”

Lots of visitors but no comments at Waynoka school board meeting By Stacy Sanborn Approximately 50 spectators came to Monday night’s school board meeting in Waynoka, causing the meeting to be held in the multi-purpose building instead of the usual small office. After the meeting opened, visitors had a chance to comment, but when Board President Marinda Zook asked if anyone wanted to speak, no one stood up. In the consent agenda, Superintendent Loren Tackett said ad valorem collections are where they are supposed to be and gross production is still up from the last couple of years, but amounts have been lower these last couple months of school, as expected. He said there will probably be an increase in the carry-over of the general fund and building fund. In his report, Tackett went over the upcoming bids for the new cloth chairback seating in the gym. He said he will put the bids out Tuesday and will open them at the regular board meeting on June 29. Moving on in his report, he said the percentage of carry-over was high last year, causing him to ask the state board to give the school a waiver on their fund balance. It was approved with no penalties. Continuing his report, the superintendent said the school year enrollment ended with 282 students. Some have left town and he predicts the enrollment number to be about 270 to start the upcoming school year. Tackett
finished by saying the painting project is going well and thinks it will be done in time for the carpet installation. Principal Michael Meriwether said in his report that he is working on end-ofyear reports, grade cards and schedules and other work to get ready for the new school year. The next agenda item was to vote to accept an agreement between the Major County Treasurer’s Office and the Waynoka Public School District concerning interest earned on tax collections. Tackett said this agreement is for them to pay Waynoka Public Schools (WPS) the interest that’s earned on WPS money while it’s in the bank. Members voted to approve. Members then voted to approve the temporary appropriations for the fiscal year 2015-2016. Tackett explained this allows them to spend money in July, August and September before the school gets any money. He said right now the carry-over would get them through those months, but approving temporary appropriations gives them the legal authority to spend the money before they get it. Next was the consideration and vote to elect (or not to elect) new members of the board of directors of the Oklahoma Public School Investment Interlocal Cooperative. Members voted yes on David Powell for Position No. 4 (Superintendent of Wayne Public Schools for a 2015-2018
term), Terry Davidson for Position No. 9 (Superintendent of Comanche Public Schools for a 2015-2018 term), and Mike Mullins for Position No. 13 (Board Member of Sand Springs Public Schools for a 2015-2018 term). Board members then moved to approve the membership renewal with the OSSBA for the 2015-2016 school year and, moving on to the next item on the agenda, voted to approve a contract for legal services with the Center for Education Law for the 2015-2016 school year. Tackett said OSSBA is often called upon for advice, but if they need something written or if serious legal council is needed, then the Center for Education Law will be needed. The board continued on and voted to approve the contract with Oklahoma Schools Risk Management Trust (OSRMT) for building and fleet insurance for the 2015-2016 school year. Tackett said the premium increased by about $3,000 for the upcoming school year, making the total $39,134. Next, the workers’ compensation proposal for the 2015-2016 school year with the Oklahoma School Assurance Group (OSAG) was approved. The superintendent said the premium for the new school year decreased by about $2,000. Agreements with Alcohol and Drug Testing Inc. for the bus drivers’ alcohol and drug testing for the 20152016 school year was approved, and the same agreement (with Alcohol and Drug Testing for the 2015-2016 school year) was approved for the student extracurricular activities. A contract with Precision Testing Laboratories Inc. was approved for the state-required three-year asbestos inspection and a list of items were approved for surplus or disposal. The board voted to convene in executive session to discuss personnel decisions. After reconvening, the board announced the support staff for the 20152016 school year was approved for reemployment, and a few changes were made. Alicia Pitts was named cheerleading coach, Dana Hope was named music teacher, and Danny Green was removed from coaching the girls’ softball teams.

How’s the wheat crop since weeks of rain and cool weather?
Elevator operators comment, express optimism, estimate cutting in about two weeks By Yvonne Miller The drought of the last several years is officially over in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas with record-setting rainfalls that started in late April. A wheat crop that appeared doomed now has potential. “From where we were two months ago, it’s phenomenal!” Ronnie Truelock, general manager of the Farmer’s Cooperative in Alva said. Of the rain and cool weather in May, Truelock said, “It’s great – it’s wonderful. It’s worked just like we were hoping it would. We’ve examined heads pulled from the fields and they were filling beautifully.” Even some of the tillers that appeared almost dead came back, Truelock said. “They will probably not be the same quality, but we’ll see.” Truelock said the Alva area is still a week away from sampling, and probably two weeks away from cutting. Truelock anticipates harvest should be “rolling” in over two weeks. He anticipates there will be a problem with some fields having wheat that’s ready in some areas and not in others. “It’s going to be slow to start,” Truelock estimates. Cutters will undoubtedly be battling mud holes in the fields. “I’m very positive right now,” Truelock said. “The effects the rain had
on lessening the drought is phenomenal.” He said he’s thankful this area didn’t have the devastating flooding some other areas experienced and said he feels for those people that did. “The rain has helped tremendously not only with our crops, but filling ponds. We’ll really see the effects next year after this amount of rain. From a moisture standpoint, if we go through a short dry spell, this will help it come back.” Steve Inslee of Kiowa, Kansas Steve Inslee, manager of O.K. Co-op Grain in Kiowa, Kansas, said, “The yield (of the wheat) has definitely improved because of the rain.” The wheat in some fields was laid down in the soggy conditions. Of that, Inslee said, “It’s the nature of it, a normal occurrence. That wheat will still produce.” While optimistic, Inslee voiced his concern about the threat of army worms and cut worms that sever the heads off blades wheat, which can devastate a field. He said farmers could spray for the worms “but no one wants to put more money in this crop at this point.” Inslee predicts wheat harvest is about two weeks out, maybe around June 13. Referring to the 2015 wheat crop “that’s been all over the place” with drought, heavy rains and other factors, Inslee said.

“I’m just ready to get it cut,” he said. Shane Parker of Cherokee Shane Parker, manager of the Farmer’s Cooperative in Cherokee, said, “We’ve sure had plenty of rain, like 15 inches. It really did help the wheat.” Parker talked about the crop that was drought-stressed and suffered some late frost damage. He said the rain greened even the brown wheat. He described wheat that greens and fills from the bottom up as “sucker heads.” Parker said of those heads, “They are not as good of quality generally.” He said some of the wheat has rust in it, but a farmer doesn’t know it until it can be seen in the crop. Some of the wheat stood in water so long it turned white. Parker said that white wheat won’t produce. Parker predicts “a less than average harvest.” Weather providing, he thinks cutting will commence in another 10 days to two weeks. “We need wind,” he said. Doug Locke of Dacoma Doug Locke, general manager of the Dacoma co-op that goes east to Jet and west to Freedom, Waynoka and Mooreland, predicts, “It’s going to be an interesting harvest.” He said, “Yields will be all over the place from 15 to 50 (bushels per acres).” “We definitely saw a turn around with the rain. There’s still lots of green in the fields. This put us back a little further (for cutting) than average years,” Locke said. Weather permitting, he anticipates some sample cutting of wheat around the 10th or 12th of June. Locke said that after looking closely at the wheat, Dacoma co-op’s agronomist sees no serious problem with disease or worms. “Not enough to justify spraying,” he said. “The real challenge is going to be that some areas of a field might be ready (to cut) and some spots will not.” “It’s all kind of up in the air,” Locke said of the impending 2015 harvest. Wheat was trading around $5.01 per bushel Tuesday.

Bushman and Bradford offering art, crafts and fun for kids at Nescatunga By Yvonne Miller Good friends Amelia Bushman and Jodie Bradford of Alva have teamed together to form AJ’s Creation Company, a mobile business. “We both love kids and doing crafts,” Bushman said. They plan to be at the Nescatunga Art Festival in Alva Saturday to help make a fun experience for the kids attending. For craft projects youngsters can make sand art. Kids can also be creative as they paint their own ceramic piggy bank. Undoubtedly a popular activity will be “A Minute to Win It Game” where kids dig in sand in search of treasures and prizes. All these activities will go on under two tents. “Our focus is to have something fun for kids and to make memories,” Bushman said. She recalled, “As a little girl I loved doing arts and crafts with my mom. It was a really sweet time of being creative. Now on the flip side I want to do the same for
my children and others.” She has three children, ages five, two and eight months. Bradford is single.
“Our motto is, ‘If the community doesn’t have it, let’s start it,’” Bushman said.
Amelia Bushman and Jodie Bradford will offer fun crafts and games at the arts festival Saturday.
Gourmet Food Booth features edible art By Yvonne Miller If you have a sweet tooth there’s not a more beautiful picture than a piece of cake, slice of pie or cookies on your plate ready for sampling. The Gourmet Food Booth is a tradition about as long as the Nescatunga Art Festival itself. Shop early Saturday morning for the best selection of the wonderful desserts made by area bakers. Even if you are not a Nescatunga member, but want to support the arts, get in your kitchen and bake one of your favorite recipes to donate. Alycen Yoder and Paula Bloyd have co-hosted the Gourmet Food Booth many years with the help of friends. When visiting with Yoder, she was already baking batches of the puffy, gooey, chocolate chip, delicious Nescatunga Cookies. You’ll find those traditional favorites at the booth while they last. Whether you are making a coffee
cake, a cherry pie, a loaf of bread or a batch of cookies, have your donation
to the booth by around 9 a.m. Saturday on Alva’s downtown square.
The Gourmet Food Booth Committee consists of (from left) Elma McMurphy, Shelley Martin, Paula Bloyd, Alycen Yoder, Darlene Holtzclaw and Lucy Rhodes. Photo by Lynn L. Martin
