Alva school board approves big computer commitment

By Lynn L. Martin The Alva Board of Education agreed to lease-purchase more than $500,000 worth of Apple laptop computers at its Monday night meeting. Each student at Alva Middle School (AMS) and Alva High School (AHS) will be provided with a Macbook Pro or Macbook Air. Each teacher will also receive an Apple laptop. The contract listed 505 machines.

The cumulative cost including interest is $605,562 divided into four annual payments of $151,413 with the first payment due on July 15. The interest rate is 2.291 percent.

A separate schedule includes supporting equipment and servers at a total cost of $112,505.72 with an interest rate of 2.95 percent.

Approximately 100 iPads are currently used at AHS. They will be sent down to the elementary schools. The Apple corporation will provide two days of in-service training for teachers and four days of architecture and integration services.

Last month, Alva schools’ IT director, Tony Ishmael, told the board the Apple product will make his department’s job easier because of less vulnerability to viruses and malware. He said about 60 percent of his department’s work is consumed in fighting viruses and malware.

Also, the anti-virus software costs will be cut significantly.

Superintendent Steve Parkhurst strongly recommended the Apple agreement, telling the board it would make a significant impact on the learning process

for Alva students. “I truly believe this will help our students in the future,” he said.

“Apple will come in and train our faculty this summer. I think we’re right on time with this move.”

Board member Jane McDermott asked if more employees will need to be hired to support the hundreds of computers being added. Parkhurst replied that Apple will maintain the individual machines as part of the contract.

Personnel Actions Washington School Principal Tracie Leeper turned in a letter of resignation effective at the end of school. Member Larry Parker “reluctantly” offered the motion to accept. Leeper has had a nine-year run in the Alva schools.

A resignation from elementary teacher Jennifer Tyree was also accepted. She had an eight-year career in Alva. Parkhurst said the Tyree family will be moving to Colorado at the end of school to help with the family farm. Board member Jane McDermott commented that Jennifer has been a great addition to Alva.

A voluntary separation for Sarah Talbert was accepted. The family has moved to Kansas. Another employee was moved from one job to another. She has been a cook at Lincoln elementary school but will move to Washington elementary school to serve as a paraprofessional.

Child Nutrition Because of the Christmas break, Alva schools served meals on only 19 days in January. An average of 558.58 lunches and 177.84 breakfasts were served. The

revenue for the month on breakfasts/ lunches and milk was $14,368.40 from Headstart 2008 and Federal Reimbursement of $21,152.33. For the school year, 10,613 lunches and 3,379 breakfasts have been served.

Pre-K Pre-Enrollment Both Washington Principal Tracie Leeper and Parkhurst emphasized the need for parents of four year-olds to let the district know if they are planning to enroll their children in pre-K next fall.

The size of the class determines the site at which it is located and how many teachers will be hired.

Also, Parkhurst said the district is surveying parents to see if they would prefer full-day pre-K instead of half-day. He noted that Cherokee and Burlington are offering that option.

Site Needs The superintendent had asked each principal to prepare a “want list” for their buildings. The lists were lengthy; following are a few examples: the AMS list included roof repair, new student desks in three classrooms and repair or replacement of the outside door in the para room, which won’t open.

The high school wish list included gutter installation, heating in the auditorium, carpeting and new light fixtures in the library and replacing several broken windows.

The Washington list included a new intercom in the building addition, replacing old water fountains in the hallways, replacing ceiling tile and carpet in the medical room.

Longfellow’s list included replacing front and back door, repairing windows and replacing the intercom.

Lincoln school had two pages of suggestions, including heat and air in rooms 203, 402, 403 and 404. Other items included painting the gym, replacing many bathroom fixtures and new ceiling tile.

Parkhurst said these suggestions may or may not happen after costs are determined.

Contracts with AmeriCorp were approved. The manpower this provides allows expanding after-school tutoring from three days a week to five days per week. The superintendent said this program does great things for the students.

Lynn Says

Alva schools making good progress

By Lynn L. Martin The Alva School District is making good use of the income windfall they’ve experienced with the oil boom. The district tax valuation is now $84 million, which is very healthy.

The benefits of this tax base plus the increased student numbers have provided revenue that’s $1 million higher than last year.

The superintendent has wisely asked all the schools’ principals to submit lists to bring their buildings and equipment up to state-ofthe-art levels. This is very smart because if everything can be brought to top condition while the money is there, then bond-issues don’t have to be asked of the voters.

(For example, the Cherokee schools are proposing a bond issue package to improve accumulated facility problems that desperately needs to be passed by the voters. Previous Cherokee administrators and boards have done nothing wrong and have handled as many prob-

lems as they can. But much lower enrollments than, say, Alva and a tax base only one-third the size of Woods County have really tied their hands at improving aging facilities. Superintendent Ellis is right in saying this is the perfect time to do this.

Let’s hope their bond proposal passes.)

Another significant Alva move was the board voting to equip all Alva Middle School and Alva High School students with Apple laptop computers. Apple has put together a pretty amazing program to provide training for the teaching staff to use these computers to their fullest.

School textbooks in the form of software will be delivered to each student’s computer. While money still has to be paid for the textbooks, it is far cheaper because physical books don’t have to be printed.

While personally I’m not a fan of Apple because of their expense and tightfisted control of the hardware, those are the very reasons they work well when hundreds are installed in a school. The maintenance costs will be significantly less and Apple’s innovation at bundling everything together in an educational environment has no equal in the PC world.

The Alva board gets very frustrated at the myriad rules being tossed at them from the state and national levels. Superintendent Parkhurst pointed out that on end-of-instruction testing, if at least 95 percent of students don’t take the tests, the school performance grade is lowered by one letter grade – say from an A to a B. If less than 90 percent take the standardized test, then the school automatically gets an F. The Alva district is doing everything possible to cause students to pass. They once again added the AmeriCorp program, which provides tutors and student

help five days a week.

Alva citizens may not know how good their schools are. When we interviewed new high school principal Randy Atkins he told us it was a no-brainer to come to Alva because he considered it the best school in the state. Tracie Leeper, in her letter of resignation, wrote, “I would like to announce my decision to retire at the end of the 2014 school year.

I have been fortunate to be a part of the best school system in the state. We have a supportive school board, a superintendent who cares deeply about Alva Public Schools, and an administrative team of principals, all which have been a pleasure to work with.”

In a separate communication with me, Leeper told me, “Please continue to be supportive, as Mr. Parkhust is doing an excellent job!”

As I recall, Leeper has served under about about five superintendents and I highly regard her judgment. We at the newspaper are going to miss Leeper greatly because she does a great job of alerting us to the newsworthy achievements of her students and we love putting their pictures in the newspaper.

Jennifer Tyree, who is resigning her elementary teacher job, said, “Thank you so much for six excellent years at your school. I have worked alongside some excellent colleagues and have had so many opportunities to grow and develop in my career field.”

Now why did I say all these nice things? I’m being sneaky. I’m trying to get Superintendent Parkhurst to fix that horribly uneven lighting for choral and band groups at Memorial Auditorium.

We cannot take a picture or video where everyone can be equally seen because of gaps in lighting distribution.

South Barber principals’ contracts renewed; gas leak scare at high school Snow-canceled ballgame with Attica rescheduled for Saturday, Feb. 22

By Yvonne Miller It was lightly snowing again Monday night as South Barber’s Board of Education February meeting occurred.

Board President Steve Allen presided with all members present including: Jeff Black, Deb Helfrich, Dooli Rugg, Dana Roark, Mark Pollock and Mike Anderson. Superintendent Brad Morris and board clerk Julie Johnson were also present.

Following two 10-minute executive sessions in the middle of the meeting, the board unanimously voted to extend two-year contracts for 2014-15 and 2015-16 school years to Principal Brent Shaffer for grades 7-12 and Marcia Cantrell for pre-K - 6th grade. Neither principal attended the board meeting as they were at the junior high ballgames at Skyline where both teams won. The Tornado girls are undefeated, now 12-0.

The Tornado boys are now 10-2.

Superintendent Morris Reports on Gas Leak, Finances, Board Member Award Superintendent Morris said a strong odor of gas was reported in the commons area and down the south hallway of the high school about 9:30 a.m. Monday. Students and staff were evacuated to the grade school where they sat in the gym and played games at first before eating lunch. Students then joined the young students in their classrooms, making valentines with them and helping them with their classwork.

Morris said gas sniffer machines were used. After no initial findings as to the source of the gas odor, Kansas Gas Service decided to have a special detector brought in from Wichita. Around 2:30 p.m., the all-clear was given for students and staff to return to the high school.

Morris said in the below freezing temperatures, officials suspect a gas bubble formed causing the odor, but are not certain.

“Overall, the evacuation process went very well,” the superintendent said. He mentioned, “The cooks did a great job.” The high school kitchen staff was already cooking at the time of the evacuation, and the food was loaded into a vehicle and transported to the grade school for lunch. “The response was good with the kids too,” he said.

On a phone call to the high school Tuesday morning, Principal Shaffer said there was no gas odor remaining.

Classes resumed two hours late due to a weather delay.

Morris said USD 255 received their January remittance from the Barber County Treasurer, which totaled $1,935,549.14. That is the expected amount, Morris said. The school’s general fund is $1,065,891.81; capital outlay is $394,229.47; supplemental gen is $401,489.54.

He said the next big tax dollar increment will come to the school in June.

Morris said the school is “test driv-

ing” a new K-12 alert system for 30 days. This system will send out text messages, phone calls and emails to individuals who sign up for the service. In the next week, watch the school website (southbarber.com) for an alert on how to register to receive the K-12 alerts.

A perfect example of why that alert system would be beneficial is what happened Tuesday morning. According to City Clerk Marlo Rugg, one of the city’s three-way circuits near the Corner Stop went out and left parts of town without power as of 7:10 a.m.

The grade school had no power, but they had heat so continued with classes.

The school sent out emails to inform the public that grade school children would be bused to the high school for lunch.

Then power was restored fully by 11 a.m., and a second email message was sent to say the children would stay at the grade school for lunch.

Morris said the school’s current notification system is email only. This new system will allow more people to be informed in a more timely manner.

Last week with all the snow, school was out three days. Morris said, “USD 255 would liked to thank Jeff Miller, Mike Miller and Kendall Clark for helping with snow removal last week at the high school and grade school.”

The superintendent presented Helfrich with a Kansas Association of School Boards (KASB) Certificate of Achievement for gaining at least 25 hours of board member training. This is for the Honor Roll – Level I. More South Barber Board Business Allen reminded the board their deadline to decide whether to change the grading scale is the May board meeting. Members briefly discussed the possibility of weighting classes (giving more weight on the grading scale to a more challenging class like physics).

The idea is to encourage students to take more difficult classes. Board members agreed they would like to have site council further research class weighting.

Pollock voiced his concern that the See S.

By Yvonne Miller Valentine’s Day will be especially sweet for the senior girl who wins the homecoming crown Friday night. The South Barber Chieftains host Central Christian for the 2014 Basketball Homecoming in the gymnasium at Kiowa.

The Chieftains are undefeated, 14-0, and have won first place in two tournaments so far this season: the Northwestern Oklahoma State University Prep Classic and the 54 Classic at Skyline High School. They are led by head coach Jeff Lantz and assisted by Steve Roberts.

The Lady Chieftains are 12-2 on the season and were also champions of the 54 Classic. Steve Roberts is their head coach, assisted by Samantha Nichols.

The three senior queen candidates are Shania Farney, Remington Grasz and Elizabeth Miller. Senior basketball boys will escort the queen candidates and last year’s queen, Morgan Koblitz. The boys are Taylor Donaldson, Logan Hitchcock, Travis Hoch and Jeffery Schultz.

Class attendants and their escorts for the homecoming royal court are: juniors – Alexis Shaffer and Dylan Allison, sophomores – Kori Leech and Kolton Pavlu, freshmen – Maddison Polson and Brian Farney.

Kindergarten helpers are Danielle MacKinney, daughter of Luke and Teresa MacKinney; Isabella Thimesch, daughter of Matthew and Shannon Thimesch; Brayden Duvall, son of BJ and Amy Duvall; and Gavin Hickert, son of Rhett and Christina Hickert.

Instead of a homecoming dance, the student council voted to have a bowling party at Cookie’s Bowl and Cafe in Alva.

The world’s long running show in American Theater history!

Adults - $15 Students - $10

Coming to Alva and Herod Hall February 18th 7:30 p.m.

The Northwest Oklahoma Concert Series is supported by the Alva Tourism and Convention Development Committee, the Oklahoma Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Charles Morton Share Trust.

With music by Harvey Schmidt and lyrics by Tom Jones, the 1960 musical tells a story of two neighboring fathers who trick their children, Luisa and Matt, into falling in love by pretending to feud. The fathers hire traveling actors to stage a mock abduction, so that Matt can heroically seem to save Luisa, ending the supposed feud. When the children discover the deception, they reject the arranged love match and separate. Each then gains disillusioning experiences of the real world, seen in parallel fantasy sequences. They return to each other bruised but enlightened, and they renew their vows with more maturity.

security code to access the school’s weight room is “going around.” Suggesting purchase of a security camera and card reader, “This is our way of knowing who is in there and when,” Pollock said. The South Barber Recreation Commission has a designated person there at specific times, but the room is unsupervised the remainder of the time, he said.

“We need to secure our school,” Pollock said. The board voted to spend up to $2,000 to secure the weight room with a security camera and card reader.

A card fee will most likely be imposed.

Following a brief executive session at the end of the meeting, the board named their board negotiation team committee who will meet with the educator’s committee. That team’s members are Mike Anderson and Dana Roark with alternate Dooli Rugg.

Allen is the board’s representative for the South Central Kansas Special Education Cooperative (SCKSEC).

Allen said the biggest news out of the January meeting is discussion of the preliminary possibility of a potential move of the Sharon Learning Center in Sharon to Medicine Lodge in the former middle school building.

The board approved payment of current bills totaling $332,670.89.

Principal Reports Principal Shaffer said they tried to give ACT prep for those students taking it last Saturday. During a designated time, students went to the library

to study. However, he said, “The snow definitely interrupted our efforts.”

The principal said the school has a Seatbelts Are For Everyone (SAFE) program underway with the help of Barber County Sheriff Justin Rugg.

When asked by the Newsgram, Sheriff Rugg said the Barber County commissioners donated $1,000 total from the diversion fund to award prizes to participating students at North Barber and South Barber schools that each receive $500.

The SAFE educational program has four steps: unannounced seatbelt surveys near the high school, one educational program per month, monthly student pledges and prizes awarded, and law enforcement of seatbelt laws. Sheriff Rugg said starting Feb. 24 they will have seatbelt enforcement 30 minutes before and after school at South Barber for two weeks.

Basketball Homecoming is this Friday. See details in separate story.

There will be NO SCHOOL next Monday, Feb. 17, as parent/teacher conferences will be held at both school sites from 8 a.m. to noon and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Saving My Life At Share Medical Center I’m writing because my heart is overflowing with gratitude and admiration for Share hospital’s staff - housekeeping through clinical who, without question, saved my life during a recent respiratory illness. But my gratitude and admiration aren’t primarily for the hard-earned skill with which they treated me, but for something even more remarkable: the caring hearts that invariably shone through the eyes of each nurse, therapist, housekeeper and doctor I encountered.

I feel honored to have witnessed these individuals’ approach to a field of work that exposes them to so much human suffering and death, and who have yet somehow kept from armoring themselves against it with the cold, clinical detachment that, to me, has seemed common in other hospitals. Our rural area has a priceless treasure in Share, as so many know, and I devoutly hope we are always able to find a way to help the hospital ensure the good pay and working conditions that will keep their staff here with us.

I especially want to thank one of my nurses - Robert Castleberry. He told me how concerned he was about my illness and said that he would be watching my condition like a hawk, and that’s exactly what he did. As a result, when a time came that I collapsed, unable to wrench air into my lungs or reach the call button, and I honestly believed that I would be dead in a matter of seconds, he popped in and found me in the nick of time. I faintly heard his dismayed exclamation before I was surrounded by nurses and therapists working at top speed. Without Robert - and Share’s staff in total - I have no doubt I would be dead today.

So, please accept my heartfelt, grateful thanks, each of you. I know that into every life some rain must fall, so if you should wake to storms one day, I hope you remember that there are people out here who would have been dust long ago if you had not been walking this world, and we have not forgotten.

GERREE SMITH Memorial services for Gerree Smith will at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 12, at the Alva First Presbyterian Church with Rev. Judye Pistole officiating. Gerree was cremated at her request.

Gerree Coley Smith, 83, passed away on the evening of Feb. 6 in Oklahoma City. She was being visited and comforted by family members at Bellevue Health and Rehabilitation at the time of her passing.

Gerree was born on Jan. 19, 1931, in Hollis, the first child of Harry and Frances Phillips Coley. She graduated from Hollis High School in 1949. After high school, she attended the University of Oklahoma.

Gerree met Herb Smith in Oklahoma City through her aunt Grace Newman in 1955, and they married on Nov. 24 of that year in Hollis. They lived in Norman, where their first child, Lynn, was born, while Herb attended the University of Oklahoma law school. After earning his degree in 1958, they moved to Alva where Herb opened his law practice. Gerree was his legal secretary for

the first few years. While expecting their third child, Lisa, in 1963, they built the house on Apache Drive where they raised their family and lived together for the rest of their lives. They were happily married for 55 years.

Gerree was a member of the First Presbyterian Church and was involved with the Nescatunga Arts & Humanities Council, Oklahoma Community Theater Association, ACT I, PEO and Presbyterian Women. She served as alternate delegate for Oklahoma at the 1980 Democratic National Convention. She enjoyed music and singing with her church choir.

Gerree was preceded in death by her parents, husband Herb, brother Jim Coley, and son-in-law Allen Helms.

Gerree is survived by her daughters Lynn Helms of Austin, Texas, and Lisa (Ed Perkins) of Oklahoma City; son Dean (Katherine Hall) of Seattle; brother Harry (Lana) of Dallas; sister Mary of Tulsa; grandchildren Megan Helms, Bryan Helms (Linnea) and Asia Perkins; and her in-laws, nieces and nephews and other relatives.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation or the Alva First Presbyterian Church.

Condolences may be left on Marshall Funeral Home’s online guest book at www.marshallfuneralhomes.com.

Michael J. Hightower, historian and principal researcher for the Oklahoma Historical Society’s banking and commerce in Oklahoma project, will speak at a dutch-treat lunch at the Harvey House in Waynoka at noon on Thursday, Feb. 13.

Hightower’s book, “Banking in Oklahoma Before Statehood,” published by University of Oklahoma Press, takes Oklahoma history into the world of wild-west capitalism.

It begins with a useful survey of banking from the early days of the American republic until commercial patterns coalesced in the East. It then follows the course of American expansion westward, tracing the evolution of commerce and banking in Oklahoma from their genesis to the eve of statehood in 1907.

Banking in Oklahoma before statehood is not just a story of men sitting behind desks. Author Hightower describes the riverboat trade in the Arkansas and Red River valleys and freighting on the Santa Fe Trail. Shortages of both currency and credit posed major impediments to regional commerce until storekeepers solved these problems by moving beyond barter to open ad hoc establishments known as merchant banks.

Banking went through a wild adolescence during the territorial period.

The era saw robberies and insider she-

nanigans, rivalries between banks with territorial and national charters, speculation in land and natural resources, and land fraud in the Indian Territory.

But as banking matured, the bettercapitalized institutions became the nucleus of commercial culture in the Oklahoma and Indian territories.

To tell this story, the author blends documentary historical research in both public and corporate archives with his own interviews and those that WPA field-workers conducted with old-timers during the New Deal.

Bankers were never far from the action during the territorial period, and the institutions they built were both cause and effect of Oklahoma’s inclusion in national networks of banking and commerce. The no-holds-barred brand of capitalism that breathed life into the Oklahoma frontier has remained alive and well since the days of the fur traders. As one knowledgable observer said in the 1980s, “You’ve always had the gambling spirit in Oklahoma.”

Hightower, a native Oklahoman and former president of Council Oak Books, is an author and historian whose fields of interest include the American frontier, banking and commerce.

He earned masters degrees in history at the University of Denver and in mass communications at Oklahoma State University, and earned his doc-

torate in sociology at the University of Virginia (UVA). He taught as a visiting lecturer at UVA and Washington and Lee University. His doctoral dissertation, “Inventing Tradition,” was an observant-participant study that explored western themes in cowboy sports. In his first novel, “The Pattersons,” he explores the resonance of frontier themes in contemporary culture. He and his mare, Colfax, continue to hone their cowboy skills at competitions and trail rides throughout central Virginia.

As a descendant of pioneer bankers in the Oklahoma Territory, Hightower has been drawn to the history of banking and commerce in his home state. In 2009, he was designated as the principal researcher for the Oklahoma Historical Society’s Bank and Commerce History Project. Combining the methods of history (documentary research) and sociology (sampling and interviewing), he has authored numerous articles and has completed two books: “Banking in Oklahoma before Statehood,” and “Banking in Oklahoma, 1907-2000.” A third book, “Banking in Oklahoma by Region,” remains a work in process.

As an independent historian, Hightower writes corporate histories for bankers and business leaders. He authored “Frontier Families,” about the founders of MidFirst Bank, and is writing the history of the BancFirst Corporation. He currently serves as historian for the 89er Trail Project, an interpretive walking tour that will commemorate the genesis of Oklahoma City.

Hightower is on a western Oklahoma tour, which includes Enid on Feb. 12; Waynoka at noon, Feb. 13; Beaver Fairgrounds the evening of Feb. 12; and the Mainland Museum at Goodwell on Friday, Feb. 14.

Books will be available for purchase and autographing at the luncheon and other stops on the tour.

The program is sponsored by the Waynoka Historical Society, and will be held at El Charro Restaurant at the Harvey House next to the BNSF Transcon. For further information, contact Sandie Olson, 580-824-5871.

Rep. Jeff Hickman elected From Page 31 new Speaker of the House Winners

Rep. Jeff Hickman (Fairview) has been elected Speaker of the House.

OKLAHOMA CITY —The 72 Republicans in the Oklahoma House of Representatives have selected 40-yearold state Rep. Jeff Hickman of Fairview as the next Speaker of the House, one of the most powerful positions in state government.

The Republican caucus met behind closed doors Monday morning and selected Hickman via secret ballot.

The speaker’s post was vacated last week when T.W. Shannon stepped down to focus on his race for the U.S. Senate.

Hickman previously served as speaker pro tem, the No. 2 spot in the House, and lost the speaker’s race against Shannon by a razor-thin margin.

The full House of Representatives is scheduled to convene at 1:30 p.m. to formally elect Hickman to the post, but that vote is considered a formality since Republicans control the House.

also showed barrows. Junior Showman went to Brooke Ferguson; Senior Showman was awarded to Kelby Reed; Adult Showman was Daresa Poe. Then the judging for the overall showmanship began. Only the winners of the showmanship in each species competed. These included Taylor Trennepohl and Brooke Ferguson in the junior division and Logan Meriwether, Kelby Reed and Draven Smith in the senior division. These five exhibitors had to show all four species for the judge. The Junior Showmanship award went to Taylor Trennepohl and the Senior Showmanship award went to Draven Smith. They both received a belt buckle. All-Around Showman is awarded based on a point system and this year’s winner was Taylor Trennepohl, who received a silver platter.

The evening ended with a great BBQ meal at the school.

Kiowa Council recognizes retiring firefighters, approves Hazelton water contract Friday is deadline for resident’s request for capital improvements

By Yvonne Miller The Kiowa City Council met Monday night for their February meeting with all members present including Mayor Brandon Farney and councilmen Mark Lambert, Tom Wells, Rus Molz, R.L. Simpson and Bill Watson. City Administrator Nathan Law, City Clerk Marlo Rugg and City Attorney Laurel McClellan also sat at the table.

Law said it has been quite some time since Kiowa’s Volunteer Fire Department has had numerous longtime firefighters retire. They are: Joe Cox, Tom Farney, Ed Hermon, Jerry McNamar and Keith Rathgeber. Those men will be honored at an invitation-only dinner at the Community Building Saturday.

The council waived the rental fee on the building.

Friday is the deadline for any residential requests for capital improvements.

Law said any requests will be reviewed

by Kiowa’s planning commission.

Mayor Farney said he received a letter to the city from a fourth grader in Iowa who is interested to see how her community is similar to Kiowa. The mayor opens the child’s request up to the Kiowa community. He asks people to bring something into the city office they believe is a good representation of

Kiowa. The city will mail a package of the goodies to her.

Molz said he’s heard many good comments about the sale of property (sheriff’s tax sale) overseen by McClellan. Molz commended McClellan for his efforts. The attorney said the sheriff’s sales brought in about $200,000 for Barber County.

McClellan said approximately 7.9 acres in the area that was formerly the old cable tower in the southeast corner of town was to be sold as two parcels.

The day of the tax sale it was sold as one. An interested party found a legality and said the land could not be sold that way. The attorney had to then petition for the land to be sold as one unit. That requires going through all the legalities, including legal newspaper publications.

The property can then sell as one unit in about 60 days. Administrator Law said the back taxes total about $7,700 on that property.

The council is pleased with the bowling alley demolition. Watson said the alley that runs east and west behind the demolished area needs to be cleared of nails and other small debris that can damage tires, etc.

A call to the city office Tuesday morning found the source of the power outage in parts of Kiowa Tuesday morning. City Clerk Marlo Rugg said at 7:10 a.m., a three-phase circuit burned out near the Corner Stop convenience store at Seventh and Main Street. Power was restored by 11 a.m.

Kiowa Police Chief Steven Johnson reported the new car is in and equipped.

He said police did a walk-through of the new hospital to be familiar with the layout of the building. Chief Johnson said he’s equipping the new reserve police officer who will undergo training in May. Council Action Law presented the new wholesale water rates to the Hazelton City Council.

Hazelton’s council signed a 20-year contract for provision of water. The council directed Mayor Farney and Clerk Rugg to sign the contact and to adopt a resolution that ratifies the contract for the sale of water to Hazelton.

Discussion ensued last month about the city paving Gordon Street, which runs east and west on the north side of the new hospital. Since that time, Law said a hospital official said there is no need as the hospital has no plans to use that roadway. The new hospital can be accessed by Fifth Street in addition to the two Fourth Street/highway entrances.

However, Law presented the council with a list of street improvements prioritized by City Supervisor Gary Johnson.

These projects would require engineering recommendations and bond counsel to fund them.

The council considered a long list of options to replace one of the oldest public works trucks and a truck for the See Kiowa Page 45

Farm Service Agency (FSA) emergency loans available Northwest Oklahoma counties Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack designated 20 counties in Oklahoma (S3632) as primary disaster areas due to losses caused by drought that began Nov. 15, 2013, and continuing.

The following counties in Oklahoma were declared primary counties where eligible farmers can apply for emergency loan assistance from the Farm Service Agency (FSA): Beaver, Beckham, Cimarron, Comanche, Cotton, Custer, Ellis, Greer, Harmon, Harper, Jackson, Jefferson, Kiowa, Roger Mills, Stephens, Texas, Tillman,

Washita, Woods and Woodward.

Farm operators in contiguous counties are also eligible to be considered for low-interest emergency loans from the FSA. The following counties were named as contiguous counties: Alfalfa, Blaine, Caddo, Carter, Dewey, Garvin, Grady, Love and Major.

Eligible producers in the designated counties may apply for emergency loan assistance, according to Tayla Dunn, farm loan manager for Woodward County.

Emergency loan funds may be used to purchase seed, fertilizer, fuel and repairs. “A farmer can use the money for the most essential operating and

living costs,” Dunn said.

To be eligible for a loan, an applicant must have suffered losses as a direct result of the disaster and be unable to get credit from other sources.

Loans covering actual losses are at an interest rate of 3.75 percent per annum.

The amount of the loan is determined by actual certification of loss less any compensation received, repayment capacity of the borrower and availability of security.

Emergency loan applications will be received through close of business Sept.

15. Farmers and ranchers who believe they can qualify may contact the Woodward County FSA office at 580256-5320 ext. 7 for additional details.

Okla. House panel passes ‘Merry Christmas Bill’

By Tim Talley OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — It was Christmas in February for members of an Oklahoma House committee Monday.

The House Common Education Committee approved by a 15-1 vote legislation saying that public school students, teachers and other staff members can greet each other with such traditional phrases as merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah and happy holidays.

The committee passed the measure in spite of federal court rulings and U.S. Department of Education guidelines

water/sewer department. They approved just one vehicle, which was a 2009 halfton four-wheel-drive truck for Bogner’s for $15,460. That’s with no trade-in.

The council spent little time discussing capital improvements and vehicle/ equipment replacements as budget priorities. Molz said he wants to curb and gutter streets around the new Kiowa Motel.

Dog pound improvements considered as wind breaks are needed for cold weather. The council approved spending $2,000 for dog pound improvements.

Equipment purchases were approved including a cement mixer not to exceed $4,000 and $1,500 to repair a forklift.

that say public schools already have the right to erect holiday displays with religious themes under certain circumstances and that students and teachers can greet each other with “Merry Christmas.”

The so-called Merry Christmas Bill also says that Oklahoma school districts can teach students about the history of the traditional celebrations. It also says school districts can put up displays on school property associated with the winter celebrations — including a menorah, a nativity scene or a Christmas tree.

The measure’s author, Rep. Ken Walker, R-Tulsa, said it will protect Oklahoma school districts from lawsuits over religious-based holiday displays, although Walker acknowledged he is not aware of any such lawsuit filed in the state.

“This is an offensive measure which basically says that we won’t do this in Oklahoma,” said Walker, who held up a festive red-and-white holiday stocking cap as he fielded questions from committee members.

“It will declare that we have a right to express our core beliefs and celebrate winter traditions without fear of lawsuit, retribution or reprisal,” Walker said.

The bill says public schools can

display scenes or symbols associated with traditional winter celebrations on school property providing the display includes a scene or symbol of more than one religion or one religion and at least one secular scene or symbol.

It prohibits displays that endorse, favor, disfavor or encourage adherence to a particular religious or nonreligious faith.

A factsheet compiled by the Alliance Defending Freedom, a Scottsdale, Ariz.-based conservative group that advocates for religious liberty, says federal courts have ruled the display of a nativity scene is constitutional if it is displayed for legitimate secular purposes, such as to celebrate the holiday, and is displayed among other forms of religious and secular seasonal expression.

U.S. Department of Education guidelines state that teachers can greet students with “Merry Christmas” in spite of their role as public employees, and that using a greeting that people commonly use in December does not violate the Constitution.

The guidelines say students have the same right to engage in religious discussion at school as they have to engage in similar activities.

The bill was sent to the full House for debate and a vote.
