Lynn Says
Should have flown my own plane – Part 2 By Lynn L. Martin Last week, I told the embarrassing tale of trying to fly commercial airlines to a class in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I was a little foggy mentally having to arise at 2 a.m. in order to be at Will Rogers Airport at 6 a.m. and stupidly left my billfold with cash for the trip, credit cards and driver’s license on the dresser. The quick result of that error caused me to miss my flight and cause the airline to also cancel the round-trip back home. They made a logical assumption that if I didn’t make the trip in the first place, I would not be at the location to make a return trip. This little goof cost me a four-times higher ticket price because they were booked up the same day as my travel. The next comical event occurred when I tried to return the 2015 Mazda rent-a-car to Avis. The counter clerk made it clear that I needed to return the vehicle full of gas or they would charge me $10 per gallon if they had to fill it. So around 8 p.m. I found a convenience store near my hotel with plenty of refueling bays. The problem occurred when I could not locate the button to trigger the little gas refueling door to open. On some cars, you press on the little door and it will open. Not this one. I scoured the driver’s side door arm rest, which had all the window opening controls, the mirror control and the door locks. No gas tank button. Then I looked all over the dash area with the speedometer and the gas gauge. I got out and knelt by the floorboard rim looking in at the side of the seat with its various levers. No gas tank button! As I mentioned last week, no Mazda instruction book was provided in the glove-box. I was getting very frustrated at the thought of paying $10 bucks a gallon when I was making a very honest attempt to replace the fuel. About this time my cellphone rang and the caller ID said it was daughter Marisa. She wanted to ask me my “legal opinion” of students using professionally taken and copyrighted pictures to complete a makeyour-own-calendar exercise in her class.
She felt it was likely very illegal. So while I was expounding on that, I asked, “Are you near a computer?” “Yes,” she replied. I said, “I’m at a convenience store in Florida and I cannot find the gas-cap door opening button. Would you see if you can Google the instruction manual for a 2015 Mazda sedan.” About 30 seconds passed and she said, “Yes, I’ve found the manual. Gas refueling instructions are on page 74.” So she scrolled through the PDF and said, “It’s on the floor near the left door post sorta buried in the carpet.” Sure enough, I found it and put 1.4 gallons of gas in. I obviously had not driven very much. (By the way, the answer to her copyright question is there is an exemption in the federal copyright act for copyrighted photos to be used in a classroom situation without violating the law. The law does not specifically mention students, and we’ve always presumed it meant teachers, but we agreed that would likely be legal under the “fair-use” clause. I did point out that if the student did the very same thing at home and never brought it to a classroom, then it would be a copyright violation because that would not trigger the classroom exemption.) My final weird thing on this trip involved the TSA; the folks who get a lot of publicity trying to make airliners safe. I had two large black camera-type suitcases with equipment, which I checked. My personal stuff was in a small fabric bag intended for carry-on. Remember, this was my first flight ever to experience the TSA. Well, I didn’t know it but you can only use TSA approved locks. I locked my two check-on bags with very substantial OSHA approved lock-out-tag-out locks normally used to prohibit dangerous equipment from being turned on in our newspaper press room. I grabbed those because one key would open both locks. Well, I had no problem on the trip down other than confiscation of my spray can of deodorant from my carry-on. At least they let me keep my see-through spray cologne so I wouldn’t smell too bad. However, on the trip back, it was 5:50 a.m. and I was on-board in seat 37A, My
bags had been checked, and my carry-on bag was in the overhead bin. We were five minutes away from “push-away” and an executive type in a white shirt comes up the aisle to my seat and says, “Lynn, the TSA wants to look inside the two tool cases you brought. We need the key.” I said, “No problem,” and stood up, fished in my pocket and handed him the key chain with my Ford Edge key and the single key for the two bags. I left all my other keys at home so I wouldn’t lose them in Florida. He took the keys and headed up the aisle. About five minutes later the flightattendant announced the doors were closed and all passengers were loaded. A brief panic hit me as I still did not have my keys back. I would not be able to drive home from OKC Will Rogers airport. About 30 seconds before push-away, a stewardess came to my seat and handed me my keys. “Whew,” I thought. “That was dumb to hand over the car key too. But all is well.” Then a new panic hit. Since my keys were returned only 30 seconds before push-away, and after the announcement the doors were locked, I worried whether my checked-luggage with lots of expensive stuff would make it on the plane. Surely they didn’t the look at the bags in the belly of the aircraft! So the next leg of the trip took me to Atlanta and a change of plane involving lots of running through the airport. The next stop was DFW with more running through the airport. Finally, back home to OKC, with fear in my heart, I approached the baggage carousel in the basement of Will Rogers Airport. The ONLY bags on the carousel were my two black cases! None of the other bags of my fellow passengers had been placed on the device yet. Of course, I breathed a big sigh of relief. But now I suspect the bags were flown perhaps on different flights. (I changed carriers from Delta to American in Dallas) and if they had been on the carousel for an hour or two, any thief could have grabbed them. In neither airport, Ft. Lauderdale or OKC, did anyone make me show the ticket stub to prove the bags were mine. I should have flown my own plane.

Superintendent Glen Elliott thanked for 24 years of service and reemployed for 2015-16 Board members recognized for years of service, 48 combined total years By Yvonne Miller Glen Elliott received unanimous approval by the Burlington Board of Education to be reemployed as superintendent for the 2015-16 school year. Board members thanked Superintendent Elliott for his 24 years of service. This was at the board’s January meeting last Tuesday. President Terry Graham presided over the meeting with all members present, including Beth Guffy, Allison Armbruster, Roger Allen and Aaron Smith. Others present were: Superintendent Glen Elliott, Principal Shane Feely and Minutes Clerk Tamre Bohn. TJ Rockenbach was the only guest at the meeting. He is the single individual who filed for the open board seat so will automatically take his seat on the board at the February meeting. He replaces Beth Guffy, who did not file to again serve on the board. Elliott’s renewed employment was decided following an approximate 30 minute executive session. Other items listed on that executive session was discussion of principal, certified and non-certified personnel, with no action on those items to be taken upon return to open session.
Another 30 minute executive session was held to discuss acquisition of property. Upon return to open session, the board approved continuing research on the acquisition of property. Elliott told the Newsgram a person wants to sell some property to the school and they are still in the discussion stage. Elliott gave certificates of appreciation to board members for their years of service. Those went to Terry Graham for 19 yearsl Roger Allen, 10 years; Beth Guffy, 10 years; Allison Armbruster, six years; and Aaron Smith, three years. That’s a combined 48 years of service sitting on the board. Superintendent Gives Favorable Outlook Giving a mid-year expense and revenue report, Elliott said the Burlington School District has taken in about $700,000 more this year than last year. He said they also spent about $100,000 more this year. Because of the school district’s increased ad valorem and gross production revenue, they no longer receive a midterm adjustment from the state, as the school “is off the formula” for now. The superintendent said as of Jan. 1 there were nine drilling rigs in the school
district. That number was seven on the same day last year. Elliott said the most number of drilling rigs at one time has been 11. Variety of Burlington School Board Business Board members discussed sportsmanship at basketball games. Elliott reported it has been a good year, with just a few minor issues. Principal Feely gave an update on the Elks basketball team records (which are updated since last Tuesday): high school girls, 18-2; high school boys, 11-9; junior high girls, 11-2; junior high boys, 3-10; grade school girls. 4-4; grade school boys, 5-3. Feely said playoffs will be announced on January 22 at 4:00 p.m. After a discussion on the proposed education assistance policy, the board adopted the policy with the following language to be added: “approved on a year to year basis, contingent upon availability of funds and at the Board’s discretion.” The revised policy will also be added to the policy book. Encumbrances, change orders and warrants were approved as follows: • General fund encumbrances 296316: $87,291.41, change orders: $ 116.74, warrants 704-788: $173,447.52. • Building fund encumbrances 5-6: $53,000, changes orders: 0, warrants 6-7: $16,628.25. • Child nutrition fund encumbrances: 0, change orders: 0, warrants 55-64: $5,646.98. • Bond fund encumbrances 14-15: $151,326.56, change orders: 0, warrants 13-14: $151,326.56. Items receiving board approval include: the December activity report, reaffirmation of the exposure control plan and the procurement plan for the child nutrition program. Board members agreed to enter into contract negotiations for the Endex

Get your tickets for Border Line’s comedy production of ‘The Foreigner’
Prepare to die laughing as you watch scenes like this from Border Line Theatre’s upcoming production of “The Foreigner.” During rehearsals, playing an EdithBunker-type ditzy owner of a back-woodsy fishing lodge, Border Line Theatre veteran Janice Hill startles even “The Foreigner” himself, played by Matt Cantrell, as she serves him a hot drink. She thinks that if she speaks very loudly, he will understand her although he doesn’t speak English. At least that’s what the Foreigner’s friend “Froggy,” played by Justin Rugg, wants her to believe. Reserve your tickets for this comedy production the last weekend of February and first weekend of March. Photo by Yvonne Miller
By Yvonne Miller Call Shirts and More in Kiowa, Kansas, today to reserve your tickets for the Border Line Theatre’s comical reprisal of “The Foreigner.” The show opens the evening of Saturday, Feb. 1, with a dinner theater production. A 2 p.m. matinee follows the next day, Sunday, Feb. 2. A second dinner theater is the next Saturday night, Feb. 7, followed by a 2 p.m. matinee the next afternoon. Look forward to a fire-grilled steak dinner with the traditional cheesy green beans, salad and baked potato – followed by the favorite Border Line layered chocolate dessert. At the matinee enjoy popcorn and soft drinks. Kevin Cox first directed “The Foreigner” for Border Line in 2007, which brought rave reviews. Set in the backwoods of a segregated Georgia, the play features some extremely colorful characters, including a few rednecks with pointy, white hoods who, in this case, are as hilarious due to the many mistaken turns taken in the chaos. Plan to escape for a few hours and refresh yourself with laughter as you watch this all-star Border Line Theatre cast in action including, besides the abovementioned members, Gary Jacobs, Mary Ellen Wilhelm, Josh Myers and Jason Thayer. Tickets are already selling at Shirts and More on Main Street in Kiowa, 620-8254074.

Sunday, Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Michael Eckhardt requested the assistance of Custer County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Dillon Mach and his K9, Ares, with a traffic stop at the 66 mile marker eastbound on Interstate-40. According to the Custer County Sheriff’s Office, the K9 was requested due “to the occupants’ story for their reason for travel not making sense.” Deputy Mach deployed the K9 and conducted an exterior “sniff” of the vehicle and the K9 alerted to the presence of illegal drugs within the vehicle. A search was conducted subsequent to the K9’s indication and law enforcement discovered 308 pounds of wrapped packages of marijuana in the vehicle. Shane Christian Geant, 33, Allison Ray Gerke, 25, and Robert Mar-Chaves, 22 all of Phoenix, Arizona, were arrested and charged with trafficking marijuana.

WINONA SCHNITZER Winona Schnitzer, age 92, of Bartlesville, died on Sunday evening, January 25, 2015. She was born on a farm near Alva, Oklahoma to Mary and Lester Maddox. Her parents and three siblings, Elva Martin, Myron Maddox and Marjorie Schenbeck preceded her in death. When she was nine, the family moved to a farm near Aline, Oklahoma. Winona attended a rural one-room grade school taught by her father, who also farmed. She graduated from Aline High School in 1940 and attended Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva for three years. Due to the shortage of teachers during World War II, she obtained a temporary teacher’s certificate and taught business at Burlington, Oklahoma High School during 1943. Winona married Naval Ensign Merrill Schnitzer in January 1944. They lived in State College, Pennsylvania, while he attended Naval Engineering class at Penn State University, then lived in Virginia Beach, Virginia while he attended amphibious warfare school in nearby Norfolk, Virginia. Winona then moved to New Orleans while Merrill was based there prior to going overseas. When he departed for the Pacific Theater, Winona returned to teaching business classes at Attica, Kansas High School. After the end of WWII, Winona and Merrill attended Oklahoma State University. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Business Education in 1947 while Merrill was in graduate school.
They moved to Dewey, Oklahoma in 1951 and subsequently to Bartlesville. Winona was a mother and homemaker and was active in church, school and civic organizations, including Girl Scouts, PTA, bloodmobile, Washington County Election Board, Churches United for Community Concern and Mutual Girls Club. She was a strong supporter of education. Winona and her husband established scholarships at Northwestern Oklahoma State and Oklahoma City Universities. For recreation, she enjoyed gardening, fishing, travel, spectator sports, reading and bridge. Winona is survived by daughter, Janine Novack, son, Steven, granddaughter, Taylor Novack, two grandsons, Landon and Trenton Schnitzer and several nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations may be made to the Winona Schnitzer Memorial Fund, c/o East Cross United Methodist Church, 820 S.E. Madison Blvd., Bartlesville, OK 74006. Services will be held on Thursday, January 29, at 10 a.m. in the East Cross United Methodist Church, Bartlesville. Rev. Jeff Burress will be the officiant.

Smiley won the election for Woods County Commissioner District 3 and can’t hold both positions. The action was taken at the regular meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 21. All council members were in attendance. Councilmember Michael Duval announced he is running for mayor during the municipal election on April 7. He plans to file during this year’s filing period of Feb. 2-4. “I am happy with the direction that the council is going, and I would appreciate your support during the election this year,” he said. A motion was made to nominate Michael Duval as acting president of the council. Tim Crissup, the current council president is serving as acting mayor until the election in April. Duval agreed to the postion and all of the council members voted yes. The Waynoka Police Department is taking applications for full-time officers and reserves at this time, according to Officer Bill Barnum. The call volume has increased because of the warmer weather. The department will be doing their annual firearms qualification before spring and spend time preparing for the snake hunt. Crissup said on future police applications, he would prefer that the council have a chance to talk to the applicants and give their input before hiring. Under code enforcement, a list of properties needing action was presented to the council. Bowen said some of
the property owners want to deed their property to the city. Crissup said he talked to Bowen about a Brownfield grant. Bowen checked on it, and the grant could pay for demolishing derelict buildings but the city has to own them. “If we get some, we can apply for the grant,” he said. It’s too late to meet the deadline this year, but it might be possible next year. During council member comments, the need for all Waynoka residents to put up their 911 house numbers was mentioned. This should have been done as of January 1, 2015. There will be a fine if residents don’t make efforts to make their house number visible. It was also requested that city utility vehicles be marked so residents could recognize them. The council discussed paying Bouse Construction $4,700 to repair and seal the wall at 1727 Cecil St. Bowen said he talked to Bouse and they planned to have a sub-contractor chip out the mortar and replace it. “It’s not the repair we needed,” he said. He didn’t like the idea of using a sub-contractor saying he wanted Bouse’s insurance and bonding. He recommended the council not approve the payment. He suggested delaying the project until the February meeting when Bouse can come back with a better estimate on what the city actually needs done. No action was taken. Crissup asked the council to approve a measure to allow either he or Bowen to approve and authorize check signing for the city. He said that way Bowen could sign when he’s not available. The council voted in favor. They also
authorized placing money from the restricted tourism hotel account into an interest-bearing Now Account. It will still be accessible but it will draw some interest. For over a year, the council has been working on the Waynoka Downtown Streetscape Project. Both the architect and the ODOT representative agreed that the lowest bid for the street lights was the best. Councilmember Susan Bradford expressed her hope that the council could use the same lights for the remainder of the square, but that could not be included in this bid. Bowen said he thought it likely the same lights would be available since they are available a year after being selected. The council unanimously approved the $28,560 low bid of Irby Electric. Jan. 29 is the official start date for the Streetscape Project. Crissup said they will start “tearing up things” like concrete at that time. The council voted to hire Cardinal Engineering and/or Mareta Woodard to prepare the engineering report and grant application for a CDBG application for a water meter project. Mayor’s Assistant Andy Bowen said, “We would like to change all of the city’s meters to automated meters that read directly to City Hall. The primary reason is that we would like to have the labor that we currently spend on reading those meters reduced.” A professional services agreement with Gose & Associates was approved to provide engineering and inspection services for the Downtown Street Project in the amount of $11,320 plus printing and postage expense.

By Marione Martin A 19-year-old driver is facing misdemeanor and traffic charges with over $1,000 in possible fines and court costs after being stopped in Cherokee. His three passengers also face charges in Alfalfa County. According to court records, Quentin Thayer was stopped on Jan. 16 about 11:30 p.m. by Alfalfa County Deputy Dillin Munholland. The deputy had been advised by a Cherokee police officer that a possible drunk driver was coming into the south end of Cherokee on Highway 8. Munholland saw the suspect vehicle pulling out of the Jiffy Trip and heading north. Police Officer Chris Hortsman was pulling in behind it. The suspect vehicle took a sharp left turn into the parking lot of the old Jiffy Trip at a high rate of speed and then came out of the lot onto Ohio Street. The vehicle was bouncing up and down because of the rate of speed as it entered Ohio Street.
Munholland activated his emergency lights to conduct a traffic stop. The vehicle turned onto Randolph Street and came to a stop at Kay and Randolph. Deputies Munholland and Lathrom approached the white car occupied by four males. As he approached the driver’s side door, Munholland noticed a strong smell of an intoxicating beverage coming from the driver’s window. He also noticed several open containers of Bud Light beer in the floor board of the car. Munholland asked the driver, Thayer, to step out. In questioning, Thayer admitted he had been drinking. Thayer submitted to a preliminary breath test and was administered standardized field sobriety tests. Munholland told Thayer he was going to conduct a free air sniff of the vehicle with his K-9, and Thayer said he didn’t think there were any drugs in the car. The K-9 alerted on the vehicle’s passenger door.
A search of the vehicle revealed several open containers of Bud Light beer, three open bottles of Jack Daniels liquor and one silver flask with liquor inside. Also found was a small clear plastic baggie with a green leafy substance residue inside which later tested positive for marijuana. The driver, Quentin L. Thayer, 19, of Covington, has been charged with two misdemeanors of driving under the influence and minor in possession of alcohol with intent to distribute. He was also given two traffic citations for careless driving and transporting an open container of alcohol. Josh Backhaus, 20, of Covington was charged with two misdemeanors of public intoxication and unlawful possession of paraphernalia. The other two passengers, Devin Lynn Kile, 20, of Drummond and Taber Cook, 19, of Orlando, were each charged with a misdemeanor of public intoxication.

The twenty-third Hall of Fame class will be honored at a luncheon in the Student Center Ballroom at 11:30 a.m., and formally inducted during halftime of the men’s basketball game vs. the University of ArkansasMonticello later that afternoon in Percefull Fieldhouse.

Eleven hour manhunt results in arrest in Barber County, Kansas By Yvonne Miller Barber County Kansas Sheriff Justin Rugg said officers check of a suspicious vehicle at Barber County State Lake “turned into much more.” This was Wednesday morning about 12:15 a.m. Sheriff Rugg said officers routinely patrol the lake area northeast of Medicine Lodge. Barber County Sheriff’s Deputy Nephi Richardson and Medicine Lodge Police Officer Todd Geist checked out the suspicious vehicle, which was a 2008 Ford 350. The sheriff said upon approaching the man in the truck a fight started.
Sheriff Rugg said the man hit Deputy Richardson in the head and also hit Officer Geist. The subject got in his truck and took off, according to Rugg. He said Deputy Richardson had to stop pursuit due to his injuries, which he listed as blurred vision and a severe headache. Richardson was taken to the hospital, but is doing fine now, as is Geist, the sheriff said. At that point 10 law enforcement agencies were called in to search for the suspect. That was around 1 a.m. Rugg said the suspect was apprehended about 11 a.m. He was found east of the Isabel Road on North Star Road about one mile
south of Ridge Road. His pickup was found further east of where the suspect was found, at Isabel and Alvee Road, Rugg said. The sheriff said the man is Daniel West, 42, of Medicine Lodge. West was reportedly still running when he was apprehended, but finally calmed down and was arrested by officers. As of Thursday, the sheriff said West remained in the Barber County Jail with no bail yet set. He’s held on the following charges: two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of battery on an officer, felony flee and elude, felony interference and DUI.

ELEMENTARY STUDENTS SHARE VALENTINES WITH KIOWA MANOR RESIDENTS By Yvonne Miller
South Barber elementary teacher Jane Thompson said the fourth, fifth and sixth graders take turns visiting the Kiowa Manor residents once a month. Classes alternate so two classes go each time. Students often take a seasonal craft or door decoration for the residents to enjoy. Other times
they read with residents or simply visit. Watching the interaction, it seems to be a good time for both the young and old. This reporter has to share a funny story. When approaching Verda Diel's room I said to the students, I see you are visiting with “Mrs. Diel.” Student Gage Odell (who is related to Verda) looked at me with a funny expression and said, “That's not Mrs. Diel, that's Aunt Verda!”

'Wicked storm': Blizzard dumps 2 feet of snow on New England BOSTON (AP) — Its winds howling at more than 70 mph, the Blizzard of 2015 slammed Boston and surrounding parts of New England on Tuesday with none of the mercy it unexpectedly showed New York City, piling up more than 2 feet of snow. The storm punched out a 40-to50-foot section of a seawall in Marshfield, Massachusetts, badly damaging a vacant home. In Newport, Rhode Island, it toppled a 110-foot replica of a Revolutionary War sailing vessel in dry dock, breaking its mast and puncturing its hull. The blizzard's force and relentlessness stunned even winter-hardened New Englanders. "It's a wicked storm," Jeff Russell said as he fought a mounting snowdrift threatening to cover a window at his home in Scarborough, Maine. The snow in New England began Monday evening, continued all day Tuesday and was not expected to ease until late evening. And the bitter cold could hang on: The low in Boston on Wednesday is expected to be 10 degrees, with wind chill minus 5, and forecasters said it will not get above freezing for the next week or so. The Philadelphia-to-Boston corridor of more than 35 million people had braced for a paralyzing blast Monday evening and into Tuesday after forecasters warned of a storm of potentially historic proportions. The weather lived up to its billing in New England and on New York's Long Island, which also got clobbered. But in the New York City area, the snowfall wasn't all that bad, falling short of a foot. By Tuesday morning, buses and subways were starting to run again, and driving bans there and in New Jersey had been lifted. The glancing blow left forecasters apologizing and politicians defending their near-total shutdown on travel. Some commuters grumbled, but others sounded a better-safe-than-sorry note and even expressed sympathy for the weatherman. "I think it's like the situation with
Ebola: If you over-cover, people are ready and prepared, rather than not giving it the attention it needs," said Brandon Bhajan, a New York security guard. National Weather Service director Louis Uccellini said his agency should have done a better job of communicating the uncertainty in its forecast. But he also said the storm may in fact prove to be one of the biggest ever in some parts of Massachusetts. Around New England, snowplows struggled to keep up, and Boston police drove several dozen doctors and nurses to work at hospitals. Snow blanketed Boston Common, where the Redcoats drilled during the Revolution, and drifts piled up against Faneuil Hall, where Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty stoked the fires of rebellion. Nearly 21 inches of snow coated Boston's Logan Airport by evening, while nearby Framingham had 2½ feet and Worcester 26 inches. Lunenburg reported 33 inches. Providence, Rhode Island, had well over a foot of snow. Sixteen inches had piled up in Portland, Maine, and 23 inches in Waterford, Connecticut. Montauk, on the eastern end of Long Island, got about 2 feet. "It feels like a hurricane with snow," said Maureen Keller, who works at an oceanfront resort in Montauk. At least 30,000 homes and businesses were without power in the Boston-Cape Cod area, including the entire island of Nantucket. A 78 mph wind gust was reported on Nantucket, and a 72 mph one on Martha's Vineyard. "It felt like sand hitting you in the face," Bob Paglia said after walking his dog in Whitman, a small town about 20 miles south of Boston. Two deaths, both on Long Island, were tied to the storm by police: a 17-year-old who crashed into a light pole while snow-tubing down a street and an 83-year-old man with dementia who was found dead in his backyard. As the storm pushed into the
Northeast on Monday, the region came to a near standstill, alarmed by forecasters' dire predictions. More than 7,700 flights were canceled, and schools, businesses, government offices and transit systems shut down. But the storm tracked farther east than forecasters expected. While Philadelphia, New York and New Jersey had been warned they could get 1 to 2 feet of snow, New York City received just under 10 inches and Philadelphia a mere inch or so. New Jersey got up to 10 inches. "This is nothing," said Susanne Payot, a New York cabaret singer whose rehearsal Tuesday was canceled. "I don't understand why the whole city shut down because of this." National Weather Service forecaster Gary Szatkowski, of Mount Holly, New Jersey, tweeted an apology: "You made a lot of tough decisions expecting us to get it right, and we didn't. Once again, I'm sorry." New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie defended his statewide ban on travel as "absolutely the right decision to make," given the dire forecast. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said the city will look at whether storm procedures could be improved but added: "You can't be a Monday morning quarterback on something like the weather." Officials in cold-weather cities know the political costs of seeming unprepared or unresponsive in snowstorms, and the blizzard poses a test for Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, who took office three weeks ago, and Boston Mayor Martin Walsh, who just finished his first year in office. With the storm drawing near, the governor banned all non-essential travel, and the mayor ordered city schools closed for two days. "So far, so good," Tufts University political science professor Jeffrey Berry said. "What's important for a governor or a mayor is to appear to be in charge and to have a plan to finish up the job and to get the city and the state back to work."

Thank You My family and I were surprised, delighted and almost overcome by the reception held at NWOSU on January 8, 2015. The facilities and the decorations were absolutely wonderful. A special thank you to all the wonderful friends who joined in the efforts to make the event unforgettable. It is still difficult to realize that 54 years have passed since we moved to Alva and Woods County. My wife, my children, my grandchildren and even my great-grandson were thrilled with the special day and celebration. My sister and her husband were present and found it almost unbelievable that so many great people could join in the efforts that produced such a wonderful event. Wylodean and I were deeply touched by the outpouring of friendship that was displayed. Our most sincere and heartfelt thank you to all who were a part of the wonderful event. We continue to be thrilled with the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful place we call “home”.

Imagine what you could do if you felt good all the time. There are many reasons to see a chiropractor. But you probably only need one: to feel like yourself again. A Doctor of Chiropractic is trained to treat chronic pain without resorting to surgery or drugs. Most appointments last about 30 minutes. Most patients feel better immediately. Living with pain is living half a life. Your whole life is waiting.
