Tele-Hospitalist Service working well involving Share Medical Center and St. Anthony Hospital Tele-hospitalist services between Share Medical Center and the St. Anthony Affiliate Network have been used frequently since the service was implemented March 1, 2016. Two sessions were held last Friday. The top photograph shows Nurse Regina Wilson, RN, placing the electronic stethoscope on Elsie Maltby, as instructed by Dr. Robert Rader, MD, who was actually in Oklahoma City. The middle photo shows the view seen by Mrs. Maltby, and her daughter Tonya, as Doctor Rader speaks with them about the good vital signs he has just heard and inquires about the various physical therapy exercises she has been assigned. Mrs. Maltby spent six days in an Enid Hospital, then needed to be released to a skilled nursing facility (also called a swing bed) for awhile. She and her daughter Tonya inquired if they could do the observational care at Share Medical Center. The answer was, “Yes.” So she has been in SMC in Alva for three weeks, seeing Dr. Rader by tele-medicine a couple of days per week. Daughter Tonya said, “When we walked into Share Medical Center, two nurses greeted me with hugs. I had known them personally and they had worked with our family before. I thought this was a great homecoming to know who would be with my Mom and I knew they would give her great care. “Because we are close to home, we can visit daily and either eat with her at lunch or supper and bring things from home she needs. It’s saving a lot of travel expense and time, too.” Mrs. Maltby, on the topic of tele-medicine, said: “At first I was wondering what it would be like. But when they came in and showed me how it worked, he did just like the doctor before and kept track of my heart. “Dr. Rader is helping me a lot through this miracle thing of tele-medicine. It’s just like conversing with him standing at the end of my bed.” Dr. Rader says he can actually hear better on the amplified setup than he can with a traditional acoustic stethoscope.

Lynn Says
At COMDEX (a big computer convention) a tussle between auto and computer fans By Lynn L. Martin (This is not written by me, but I wish it had been. Very clever.) “If the auto industry had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.” In response to the comment, the auto industry issued a press release stating: If we had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part): 1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash … twice a day. 2. Every time they repainted the lines
in the road, you would have to buy a new car. 3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this. 4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine. 5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive … but would run on only five percent of the roads. 6. The oil, water temperature and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single “This Car Has Per-
formed An Illegal Operation” warning light. 7. The airbag system would ask “Are you sure?” before deploying. 8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna. 9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car. 10. You’d have to press the “Start” button to turn the engine off. PS – I’d like to add that when all else fails, you could call customer service in some foreign country and be instructed in some foreign language how to fix your car yourself!

Rick Wallace received a call from Timberlake Grade School about possible child abuse. Deputy Gary Mast went to the school about 11 a.m. and met with a teacher’s aide who said she saw a golf ball sized bruise on the left side of a student’s face. She said she asked the juvenile girl what happened. She told Mast the girl said her daddy hit her and her mother. The aide said she called the school nurse to check the girl. The girl told them both that her daddy gets mad and hits her and her mommy. She said the

bruise was from her daddy who pushed her onto the bed and was being mean to her and her mommy. The girl told the school personnel she was crying and scared the previous night. The nurse and the teacher’s aide took the girl into a private room to check for other bruising. They found a small bruise on her mid upper back and some bruising on her legs, shins and knees which appeared to be normal childhood bruises. The school made a referral to the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. On March 12, the district attorney’s office filed a felony charge of child abuse by injury against Prestin Allan Little Bear Taylor, 21, of Goltry. This crime is punishable by imprisonment for not more than life or by a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $5,000, or both such fine and imprisonment. Taylor made his initial appearance in court on March 18. Bond was set at $25,000. Taylor’s next court appearance will be at 9:30 a.m. on April 6.

Healthy soil grows Obituary healthy crops ALVIN HENRY BARBER Funeral services for Alvin Henry Barber will be 11 a.m. Thursday, March 24, 2016, at the Alva Church of God with Mark Hornbaker officiating. Interment will be 3 p.m. Thursday in the Shattuck Cemetery under the direction of Marshall Funeral Home of Alva. Alvin Henry Barber, son of the late William Daniel and Viola Pearl (Barber) Barber, was born November 24, 1943, at Alva, Oklahoma, and passed away March 19, 2016, at Oklahoma City, at the age of 72 years, 3 months, and 26 days. On September 17, 1963, he was united in marriage to Iva Ann Akers at Dumas, Texas. Al is survived by his wife, Iva Ann, of Shattuck; two children, one grandchild, three sisters, other relatives and many friends. Memorial contributions may be made through the funeral home to the Wounded Warrior Project.
Free seminar at Northwest Tech, Alva, March 30 Soil health is a growing concern worldwide and is a high priority for NRCS and OSU Extension. As part of their ongoing commitment to help production agriculture in Oklahoma and the Great Plains region of the United States, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), OSU Extension, and Oklahoma Land Stewardship Alliance (OLSA) will be hosting two Oklahoma soil health seminars. The first will be at the Northwest Technology Center (NWTC) campus in Alva on March 30. The second will be on the Redlands Community College Campus in El Reno on March 31. Issues to be discussed at the event include slake and infiltration demonstrations, the makeup of the soil, the tools to regenerate our soil, Oklahoma cover crop data, range land and cropland regeneration examples, how to stack enterprises for regeneration and profit, and ideas on how to incorporate soil health methods into your operation. Brown and Archuleta to Speak North Dakota rancher Gabe Brown and Ray Archuleta, NRCS soil scientist from Missouri, will share their knowledge of building soil here in Oklahoma. Jason
Warren will present information about the ongoing cover crop research from Lahoma. Fifteen years ago, Brown’s soil organic matter was under two percent. Today it is over six percent. He has accomplished this with cover crops and grazing. Last year, his corn crop was better than his home county average and all he purchased was seed. At six percent organic matter, his soil provided all the nutrients and water he needed. Archuleta is a regional soil health specialist for the NRCS Soil Health Division. He has 31 years’ experience working with farmers to improve their soils and teaching biomimicry strategies and agroecology principles. He is a popular speaker for conferences related to soil health. “We are very excited to partner with NRCS, OSU and OLSA to host this event,” said Jack Bryant, president of Redlands Community College. “Hosting soil health pioneers Gabe Brown and Ray Archuleta provides a great opportunity to showcase what agriculture producers can do to improve their bottom line and better prepare their operations to withstand extreme weather events through improving the health of their soil. There are no two individuals with more practical experience improving the health of the soil than Gabe Brown and Ray Archuleta.” RSVP by March 25 Those planning to attend are asked to RSVP by March 25 by calling Kim Barker at 580-732-0244 for either event or for El Reno online at https://www.redlandscc.edu/ index.php?q=content/redlands-field-day or by calling Clay Pope at 405-699-2087. There is no charge for the meeting and lunch will be provided by Farm Credit of Western Oklahoma. Additional sponsors for the event include USDA NRCS, USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS), the Natural Resources Defense Council, USDA Southern Plains Climate Hub, and the South Central Climate Science Center. Registration will begin at 8:30 at each location, Northwest Technology Center located at 1801 S. 11th Street, Alva, OK, or Redlands Community College Conference Center located at 1300 S. Country Club Road in El Reno. For more information contact Kim Barker at 580-732-0244.

Dividend checks distributed to Alva Farmer’s Co-op members By Lynn L. Martin The Farmers Cooperative Association of Alva held their 2016 annual meeting in the merchant’s building of the Woods County Fairgrounds Monday night, with a beef or chicken meal prepared by Sterlings of Hardtner. About 200 members, along with nearly all of the 49 employees of the co-op, heard a report on the performance of their co-op. Total 2015 sales came in at $18,134,703.70, down because of low-
er grain prices from the 2014 sales year, which came in at $22,145,662.56. Expenses were up about 13 percent mainly from increased personnel costs. This resulted in a loss from local operations of $226,540.29. The year before, the loss was $46,745.67. There was $1 million in other earnings, which took the net earnings to $566,149.39, down from the previous year, at the height of the oil boom, of $934,938.05. Patronage dividends paid out to
members this year totaled $209,967.70, down a bit from last year’s $315, 365.50. Todd Pflughoeft of Lindburg and Vogel, auditors, reviewed the financial statements and stated that the cooperative bookkeeping rated a “clean opinion.” Officers were elected and Randy Schwerdtfeger once again was voted to serve as president. Nominating committee chairman Doug Ritter said that was the only candidate they wished to propose. The vote was unanimous and Clinton Nighswonger was nominated and voted to replace Doug Ritter on the nominating committee for next year. Other board members include Jared Bates, vice president; Tim Ohm, secretary; Steve Sneary, director; Kenneth Baugh, director and Daryl Buchhaults, associate director. All employees present were introduced by their supervisors, and throughout the evening prizes were drawn from tickets given to the members.

Local responders attend Homeland Security training Emergency responders Margaret Grismer, Heidi Courson, Sondra Davis, Rory Reed and Robyn Whitaker from Kiowa District Healthcare along with Mike Loreg from South Barber EMS; and Patty McNamar, Sandy Smith, and Linda Sheldon from Medicine Lodge Memorial Hospital all representing Barber County recently completed training (March 13-19) offered by the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) in Anniston, Alabama. The CDP is operated by the United States Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency and is the only federally chartered Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) training facility in the nation. Fifty four attended representing 12 counties in South Central Kansas from 21 different organizations. Margaret Grismer, CEO of Kiowa District Healthcare, reflected that “The most important aspect of our training is familiarity with the Hospital Incident Command System and honing our skills in decontamination if we were to have to deal with elements such as anhydrous ammonia, chlorine or a biological agent. In addition, the time spent away developing strong relationships with others in Barber County and networking with the other 53 or so from South Central Kansas is invaluable.” The CDP develops and delivers advanced training for emergency response providers, emergency managers and other government officials from state, local and tribal governments. The CDP offers more than 40 training courses focusing on incident management, mass casualty response and emergency response to a catastrophic natural disaster or terrorist act. Training at the CDP campus is federally funded at no cost to state, local and tribal emergency response professionals or their agency. Resident training at the CDP includes healthcare and public health courses at the Noble Training Facility, the nation’s only hospital dedicated to training healthcare professionals in disaster preparedness and response. A number of resident training courses

Myrtle King Trust keeps on giving to Kiowa community
Happy Birthday to Myrtle King, born March 19, 1886; Original plaque in King’s honor discovered – donated by VFW Auxilliary in 1985 By Yvonne Miller When Laurie Hiltner and Janet Robison were cleaning out the Shirts and More building this spring at 534 Main St. in Kiowa, Kansas, they found a large plaque donated in memory of Myrtle C. King in 1985 by the V.F.W. Auxillary. King could be called the matriarch of Kiowa as she donated her estate trust upon her death Nov. 5, 1976, to the community that keeps on giving. The City of Kiowa, Kiowa District Hospital, South Barber USD #255 and endless local organizations and worthwhile projects have been and continue to be recipients of King’s generosity. In 2006, Kiowa woman Carol McGee wrote an article about King, based on the writing of Kiowa historian the late Jean M. Brown. Their writings say the original amount of the King Trust was $402,388.53. King reportedly had the forethought to have the principle held in the trust with only the interest or earnings of the principle to be used to benefit Kiowa organization that had an IRS tax exempt status. McGee’s 2006 article said that to date at that time, the King Estate had given over $800,000 to local organizations for the benefit of Kiowa. An estimated $80,000 was given since that time through 2015, by records provided by Myrtle King Trust board member Deborah Helfrich. In Brown’s book, “More About Kiowa and Other Stories,” she told about how the board was formed. A passage says, “In establishing the trust fund, Myrtle King requested Clarke Mcllree of the First State Bank and William Henry (then mayor) to serve on the board of trustees, along with the mayor of Kiowa, the chair of the Kiowa District Hospital Board, and representative from the city who has served the longest on the School District’s Board of Education. Mrs. King further requested that when Mr. Mcllree and Mr. Henry could no longer
serve that they not be replaced, thus decreasing the number of trustees to three, i.e. mayor, school board and hospital board, as described. The Trustees receive written requests from eligible recipients to determine how funds are distributed.” March 19 was King’s birthday. It would be her 130 birthday. In McGee’s article she wrote, “Myrtle King was an early resident of Kiowa. She and her husband Albert Monroe `Roe’ King
were landowners and farmers in the Kiowa area for many years. Both Mr. and Mrs. King were active in Kiowa’s community and social activities, `Roe’ King was legendary in his ability to be the first wheat farmer in Kansas to harvest and ship his grain to market, setting new records at the Wichita Grain Exchange in 1934. In 1935, Mr. King’s market-opening premium price was

South Barber FFA enjoys Colorado trip during spring break By Spencer Kimmell, reporter On March 14, juniors and seniors from the South Barber FFA chapter traveled to Breckenridge, Colorado, for Spring Break. On the way, they stopped at the Royal Gorge, a famous landmark near Ca単on City, Colorado. Then they rented their ski gear and checked into their condo. They spent their four days skiing on 30 inches of powdery snow and enjoying restaurants and shops in the area. Breckenridge is a great place to ski because it has a variety of slopes that can suit beginners and experts. Also they could relax in a jacuzzi at their condo if they wanted to take a break from the snow. It was a fun and rewarding experience to end the year.

Congressman Kansas governor Lucas to meet signs bill protecting faith groups on campus residents in Alva By John Hanna TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas' conservative Republican governor signed legislation Tuesday allowing faith-based groups at college campuses to restrict membership to like-minded people, likely putting the state on a collision course with civil liberties groups. The Republican-dominated Legislature approved the legislation earlier this month, even though the U.S. Supreme Court ruled nearly six years ago that universities can require membership in such groups to be open to all. Supporters have said the bill was a victory for the freedom to exercise religious beliefs, but opponents called it a veiled attempt to legalize discrimination. Kansas already has a religious objections law that prevents state or local governments from limiting people's freedom to express their religion, though that law doesn't touch on organizations at universities. With Gov. Sam Brownback's signature, Kansas becomes the second state after Oklahoma to have a college-specific law. "This is very narrowly targeted," Brownback said. The new law, which will take effect in July, stems from a handful of on-campus incidents in Kansas and other states, including a lawsuit filed by a Christian group after Washburn University said the group couldn't require student members to recognize the Bible, not the Book of Mormon, as the word of God. The issue emerged after a Mormon student at the Kansas school was forbidden from lead-
ing the group's Bible study. The student, Daniel Arkell, now a 41-year-old attorney in Dodge City, told The Associated Press last week that he still believes student associations should have the right to stand for something and the right to practice their own beliefs — but that "when public funds come into play, there needs to be a little bit more leeway." Opponents of the new law say it will sanction discrimination in the name of religion, could risk the loss of federal grant money, and would waste money defending it in court. The American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas has said it was assessing whether to file a lawsuit over the measure. The U.S. Supreme Court ruling originated from a California incident. The Christian Legal Society at the University of California-Hastings College of Law was refused recognition and funding after it required all members to sign a form saying they would abstain from pre-marital or same-sex sexual conduct. In a 5-4 decision, the high court backed the university's right to do so. The debate in Kansas follows the uproar last year over a religious objections law in Indiana, and to a lesser extent a similar measure in Arkansas. Critics in those cases said the laws would allow discrimination against gays and lesbians by allowing service providers, such as florists, to deny their services for same-sex weddings. Both states revised their laws following the criticism, though they still allow certain religious objections.

Retired Okla. astronaut honored with portrait in House OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A retired NASA astronaut from western Oklahoma who flew the first lunar module to the moon in 1969 joked with Oklahoma legislators as a painting in his honor was unveiled on the House floor. Tom Stafford described for House members Tuesday how he set the highest ever land-speed record during the Apollo 10 re-entry, reaching a top speed of more than 24,000 miles per hour. The 86-year-old Weatherford native said the speed would equate to a trip from his hometown to Oklahoma City in about 9 seconds and joked: “The Oklahoma Highway Patrol would never touch you.” Stafford recalled descending to about 10 miles above the moon and picking out potential landing sites. The portrait by Oklahoma artist Mike Wimmer is a project of the Oklahoma Senate Historical Preservation Fund.

BOSTON (AP) — An 80-year-old man who ran a sprawling marijuana-dealing operation that covered several states, with records going back to 1992, was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Marshall Dion pleaded guilty last year to drug and money-laundering charges, and Tuesday's sentencing in Massachusetts was the latest chapter in a long, colorful history with law enforcement. In 1985, he crashed a single-engine plane he was piloting in Kenosha County, Wisconsin, breaking both his ankles. When sheriff's deputies arrived, he was crawling along a muddy field as money floated in the air. The government was allowed to keep nearly $112,000 in cash recovered from the crash scene after a
judge found it was likely drug proceeds, but Dion was not charged criminally. When police in Junction City, Kansas, stopped him for speeding in 2013, they found about $828,000 in cash in his pickup truck. A federal investigation led authorities to Massachusetts and Arizona, where they found about $15 million in cash, nearly 400 pounds of marijuana and ledgers detailing drug deals going back to 1992. Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Denise Casper rejected a plea agreement that called for a five- to seven-year prison sentence for Dion. His lawyers then reached a new agreement with prosecutors that called for a sentence range of five to 10 years. Judge Denise Casper sentenced him to the maximum during a hearing in U.S. Dis-
trict Court. Dion has been in custody since his arrest in 2013, so he has already served 2 1/2 years of his sentence. He declined to address the court during his sentencing hearing. Dion's lawyer, Hank Brennan, recommended a five-year sentence. He said Dion was nonviolent and lived a simple life, despite the large quantities of cash his business made. "He didn't have that lure of greed and power and oppression. He is a simple man who lived a very routine and habit-filled life," Brennan said after the hearing. Prosecutors recommended a sentence of a little over six years. A spokeswoman for prosecutors did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

FORT RILEY, Kan. (AP) — Officials say Fort Riley's long-delayed new hospital is one step closer to opening and could do so by the end of July. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officials told U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp's office that since Wednesday, the Army has been able to begin using the facility while the remaining construction is completed. The Corps says the following 120 days are allotted for initial outfitting and transition, including finishing touches, such as installing fixtures and equipment. If all goes according to schedule, the building will likely open for patients in mid- to late July. The Corps didn't immediately respond to the Manhattan (Kan.) Mercury's (http://bit.ly/1XJTAky ) request for comment. The new Irwin Army Community Hospital was most recently set to open in January, but officials held back the date after pre-final inspections revealed
a list of 357 safety deficiencies, mostly related to fireproofing. In a letter sent to U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran in December, Assistant Secretary of the Army Katherine Hammack also cited issues resulting from construction of an expansion joint that allows the building to withstand vibrations and the curtain wall, a four-story atrium window. The newspaper filed a Freedom of Information Act request in January seeking more information about the rest of the life-safety deficiencies, but they're still awaiting the Corps' response. Corps officials told Huelskamp's office that the list of deficiencies has been reduced to four. Meanwhile, several lawsuits filed by subcontractors are pending. At least four subcontractors have sued the project contractor, Balfour-Watson, citing unnecessary setbacks to the construction process and faculty management issues. Officials said legal proceedings status won't affect when the hospital opens.

Proposal on impeaching Kansas Supreme Court barely advances By John Hanna TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A bill declaring that Kansas Supreme Court justices can be impeached for attempting to infringe on the Legislature's power was narrowly approved Tuesday in the state Senate, but a split among majority Republicans signaled the measure could face difficulty moving ahead. The Senate's vote of 21-19 reflected some misgivings within its GOP supermajority about a proposal that critics labeled an attack on the court system's independence. The measure goes next to the House, where similar divisions among Republicans exist. It's the latest in a series of initiatives putting Kansas at the center of a national effort by GOP conservatives to remake state courts. Those have included failed efforts to change how Supreme Court justices are chosen and a threat by lawmakers — later dropped — to nullify the court system's entire budget. The vote Tuesday also came less
than six weeks after the Supreme Court ordered lawmakers to increase state aid for poor school districts — or face having all public schools shut down in July. Supporters said the bill simply gives examples of what the state constitution means when it says Supreme Court justices can be impeached and removed from office for "high crimes and misdemeanors." The new list would include "wanton or reckless judicial conduct" and "attempting to usurp the power" of legislators or executive-branch officials. "This bill clarifies the checks and balances on the branches of Kansas government," said Sen. Greg Smith, an Overland Park Republican who is one of 18 sponsors of the measure. But Rep. Steve Becker, a retired district court judge, said the bill is so broad that any time the court strikes down a law, it could be seen as usurping lawmakers' power — allowing for judges to be impeached. "It totally handicaps the Supreme

Court," the Buhler Republican said. "It would render the Supreme Court useless, basically." Republicans hold 32 seats in the Senate, but 11 GOP senators joined all eight Democrats in voting against the bill, including Judiciary Committee Chairman Jeff King, of Independence. A Washington-based group, Justice at Stake, called the measure "an affront to democracy." The bill's supporters said they aren't attacking the Supreme Court. In committee, they added language creating a similar list of examples of impeachable offenses for the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and secretary of state. Still, as the Senate considered the measure, supporters repeatedly suggested that the Supreme Court has overstepped its authority in some of its decisions. "We live in an era when people believe the independence of the courts and absolute power are synonymous," said Sen. Mitch Holmes, a St. John Republican and another sponsor of the bill. In other states, conservative groups have spent heavily in contested judicial elections, most recently in Arkansas. But in Kansas, justices are appointed by the governor after a commission led by lawyers screens applicants and picks three finalists, with no role for legislators. Justices face "retention" elections every six years, remaining in office unless more than 50 percent of voters vote against them. Four of Kansas' seven Supreme Court justices were appointed by Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who served from 2003 to 2009, and two by her predecessor, Bill Graves, a moderate Republican. Only one was appointed by current Gov. Sam Brownback, a conservative Republican. Conservatives are expected to push this year for Kansas voters in the November election to remove four justices — two Sebelius appointees and the two Graves appointees.

By Raf Casert and Raphael Satter BRUSSELS (AP) — Islamic extremists struck Tuesday in the heart of Europe, killing at least 31 people and wounding scores of others in back-toback bombings of the Brussels airport and subway that again laid bare the continent's vulnerability to suicide squads. Bloodied and dazed travelers staggered from the airport after two explosions — at least one blamed on a suicide attacker and another reportedly on a suitcase bomb — tore through crowds checking in for morning flights. About 40 minutes later, another blast struck subway commuters in central Brussels near the Maelbeek station, which sits amid the European Commission headquarters. Authorities released a photo taken from closed-circuit TV footage of three men pushing luggage carts, saying two of them apparently were the suicide bombers and that the third — dressed in a light-colored coat, black hat and glasses — was at large. They urged the public to contact them if they recognized him. The two men believed to be the suicide attackers apparently were wearing dark gloves on their left hands. In police raids across Brussels, authorities later found a nail-filled bomb, chemical products and an Islamic State flag in a house in the Schaerbeek neighborhood, the state prosecutors' office said in a statement. In its claim of responsibility, the Islamic State group said its members detonated suicide vests both at the airport and in the subway, where many passengers fled to safety down dark tunnels filled with hazy smoke from the explosion in a train pulling away from the platform. European security officials have been bracing for a major attack for weeks and warned that IS was actively preparing to strike. The arrest Friday of Salah Abdeslam, a key suspect in the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris, heightened those fears, as investigators said many more people were involved than
originally thought and that some are still on the loose. "In this time of tragedy, this black moment for our country, I appeal to everyone to remain calm but also to show solidarity," said Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel, who announced three days of mourning in his country's deadliest terror strike. "Last year it was Paris. Today it is Brussels. It's the same attacks," said French President Francois Hollande. Belgium raised its terror alert to the highest level, shut the airport through Wednesday and ordered a city-wide lockdown, deploying about 500 soldiers onto Brussels' largely empty streets to bolster police checkpoints. France and Belgium both reinforced border security. Medical officials treating the wounded said some victims lost limbs, while others suffered burns or deep gashes from shattered glass or suspected nails packed in with explosives. Among the most seriously wounded were several children. The bombings came barely four months after suicide attackers based in Brussels' Molenbeek district slaughtered 130 people at Paris nightspots, and intelligence agencies had warned for months a follow-up strike was inevitable. Those fears increased following Abdeslam's arrest in Molenbeek, along with police admissions that others suspected of links to the Paris attacks were at large. A high-level Belgian judicial official said a connection by Abdeslam to Tuesday's attacks is "a lead to pursue." The official spoke on condition of an-
onymity because the investigation was ongoing. Abdeslam has told investigators he was planning to "restart something" from Brussels, said Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders. He said Sunday that authorities took the claim seriously because "we found a lot of weapons, heavy weapons in the first investigations and we have seen a new network of people around him in Brussels." While they knew that some kind of extremist act was being prepared in Europe, they were surprised by the size of Tuesday's attacks, said Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon. "It was always possible that more attacks could happen, but we never could have imagined something of this scale," he said. Officials at the airport in the Brussels suburb of Zaventem said police had discovered a Kalashnikov assault rifle and an explosives-packed vest abandoned at the facility, offering one potential lead for forensic evidence. Bomb disposal experts safely dismantled that explosive device. Shockwaves from the attacks crossed the Atlantic, where city and airport officials at several U.S. cities increased security force deployments and raised security levels. A U.S. administration official said American intelligence officers were working with European counterparts to try to identify the apparently skilled bomb-maker or makers involved in the Brussels attacks and to identify any links to

Terrorism looms as candidates compete in Western states STEVE PEOPLES, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton fought to extend their delegate leads over underdog presidential rivals Tuesday in primary election voting across three Western states as the world grappled with a new wave of bloody attacks in Europe. The contests in Arizona, Utah and Idaho were largely an afterthought for much of the day as the leading White House hopefuls clashed over how to stop the spread of the Islamic State group. The organization claimed responsibility for a series of attacks in Brussels that left at least 31 dead and dozens more wounded. Even before Tuesday's violence, foreign policy had emerged as a central theme ahead of the Western elections with candidates in both parties courting pro-Israel activists this week. Clinton as well as Trump's Republican rivals questioned whether the billionaire businessman has the temperament and readiness to serve as commander in chief, and condemned the GOP front-runner's calls to diminish U.S. involvement with NATO. "This is a time for us to reaffirm our solidarity with our European friends and allies, individually and through NATO," Clinton declared on NBC's "Today," insisting that the U.S. must intensify efforts to prevent terrorism in conjunction with its allies. "We've got to be absolutely strong and smart and steady in how we respond." Trump vowed to defeat the Islamic State, and he renewed his proposal for
temporarily barring Muslims from entering the country in addition to refusing entry to Syrian refugees fleeing their war-torn nation. "We're having a problem with Muslims coming into the country," Trump said on CNN. "The reason I'm leading on the Republican side by a lot ... is that I'm very, very strong on borders." Indeed, Trump and Clinton both enjoyed overwhelming delegate leads heading into Tuesday's contests. Arizona and Utah featured contests for both parties, while Idaho Democrats also held presidential caucuses. Democrat Bernie Sanders and Republicans Ted Cruz and John Kasich hoped to reverse the sense of inevitability taking hold around both party front-runners. Cruz seized on Trump's foreign policy inexperience while declaring that the U.S. is at war with the Islamic State group. "He doesn't have the minimal knowledge one would expect from a staffer at the State Department, much less from the commander in chief," the Texas senator told reporters. "The stakes are too high for learning on the job." Both Trump and Clinton faced political challenges on Tuesday. The New York billionaire's brash tone has turned off some Republican voters in Utah, where preference polls suggest Cruz has a chance to claim more than 50 percent of the caucus vote — and with it, all of Utah's 40 delegates. Trump could earn some delegates should Cruz fail to exceed 50 percent, in which case
the delegates would be awarded based on each candidate's vote total. Kasich hopes to play spoiler in Utah, a state that prizes civility and religion. A week ago, the Ohio governor claimed a victory in his home state — his first and only win of the primary season. Mitt Romney, the GOP's 2012 presidential nominee, supported Kasich there. But he is telling his fellow Utah voters in a recorded phone message that Cruz "is the only Republican candidate who can defeat Donald Trump." Trump appears to be in a stronger position in Arizona, which will award all of its 58 delegates to whichever candidate wins the most votes. Kasich on Tuesday criticized his Republican opponents for targeting Muslims in their responses to the Brussels violence. While Trump reinforced his call to ban Muslims, Cruz said, "We need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized." Kasich told reporters in Minnesota he doesn't believe all Muslims in Minnesota or elsewhere are "somehow intent on trying to destroy our families." He said, "This is a time when you have to keep your cool." Anti-Trump Republicans are running out of time to prevent him from securing the 1,237 delegates needed to claim the nomination. With more than half of all delegates already awarded during the first seven weeks of primary voting, Trump's challengers' best — and perhaps only — hope lies with denying the front-runner a delegate majority and forcing a contested national convention in July. On the Democratic side, Clinton's advantage is even greater. The former secretary of state is coming off last week's five-state sweep of Sanders, who remains popular among his party's most liberal voters but needs to improve his performance if he expects to stay relevant. The Vermont senator, now trailing Clinton by more than 300 pledged delegates, has targeted Tuesday's races as the start of a comeback tour.

By Matthew Perrone WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal health regulators will add their strongest warning labels to the most widely prescribed painkillers, part of a multipronged government campaign to stem an epidemic of abuse and death tied to drugs like Vicodin and Percocet. The Food and Drug Administration announced Tuesday plans to add a boxed warning — the most serious type — to all immediate-release opioid painkillers, including some 175 branded and generic drugs. Those medications, which often combine oxycodone with lower-grade medications, are among the most commonly used drugs in the U.S. and account for 90 percent of all opioid painkillers prescribed. Roughly three years ago the FDA added similar warnings to long-acting opioid drugs like OxyContin, which slowly release their doses over 12 hours or more. Now both immediate and extended-release formulations will highlight the risks of addiction, abuse, overdose and death. The long-awaited changes come as federal and state officials struggle to curb a wave of overdoses fueled by the overprescribing of medications and a steady supply of cheap heroin. "We're at a time when the unfathomable tragedies resulting from addiction, overdose and death have become one of the most urgent and devastating public health crises facing our country," FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf said on a call with reporters. "I can't stress enough how critical it is for prescribers to have the most current information."
But lawmakers from states that have been ravaged by opioid addiction said such labeling changes have "done little" to help their communities. "Unfortunately, it has taken FDA far too long to address the grave risks of these drugs that have claimed the lives of thousands this year alone," said Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass. Opioids are a class of powerful and highly addictive drugs that include both prescription drugs like codeine and hydrocodone, as well as illegal narcotics, like heroin. Deaths linked to misuse and abuse of prescription opioids climbed to 19,000 in 2014, the highest figure on record, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Heroin and opioid painkillers combined caused 28,650 fatal overdoses. Doctors are not required to follow the FDA's instructions on drug labels, though they are often used as prescribing guidelines by hospitals, medical groups and insurers. Critics of the FDA, including Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing, called on the agency to add such warnings years ago. "The main driver of our opioid epidemic is addiction, and the immediate-release products are just as addictive," said the group's founder, Dr. Andrew Kolodny, an addiction therapist with Phoenix House, a network of rehabilitation clinics. The new FDA label will specify that the drugs like Percocet should only be used when other medications and alternative therapies cannot control patients' pain. "This new indication, once fi-
nalized, will remind prescribers that immediate-release opioids are also powerful drugs with important safety concerns," said Dr. Doug Throckmorton, a deputy director in the FDA's drug center. Throckmorton said the agency's 2013 labeling change focused on long-acting drugs like OxyContin because they represented a "disproportionate risk" to patients, since they contain larger opioid levels. Government officials have tried a variety of approaches to tackling painkiller abuse in recent years. The FDA previously restricted combination pills like Vicodin to limit refills and who can prescribe them. States like Florida and New York have cracked down on "pill mills" using databases to monitor what doctors are prescribing. The Obama administration has asked Congress to provide $1.1 billion to combat opioid addiction. On Tuesday, the White House sent letters to all 50 governors outlining steps for reducing opioid over-prescribing and enhancing addiction treatment. The administration's drug czar praised the move by the FDA and Califf, who was confirmed to lead the agency last month. "I think we're very heartened by the new director of the FDA and his enhanced focus on opioid issues," said Michael Botticelli, National Drug Control Policy Director. "This is an all-of-government effort and clearly the FDA has a key role to play." In addition to the boxed warning, the FDA said it would add new information about the risks of opioid use for pregnant women and their newborns as well as drug interactions with antidepressants and other medications. The FDA announcement comes less than a week after the CDC released the first-ever national prescribing guidelines for using opioids. The agency said primary care doctors should only turn to opioids after considering physical therapy, over-thecounter medications, counseling and other methods for treating chronic pain.

Attack
bombs used in Paris. The official, who wasn't authorized to speak publicly on the investigations and demanded anonymity, told The Associated Press that at least one of the bombs at the airport was suspected to have been packed into a suitcase left in the departures hall. Three intelligence officials in Iraq told the AP that they had warned European colleagues last month of IS plans to attack airports and trains, although Belgium wasn't specified as a likely target. The officials, who monitor activities in the IS stronghold of Raqqa, said Brussels may have become a target because of the arrest of Abdeslam. One of the officials — all of whom spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about their knowledge of IS operations — said Iraqi intelligence officials believe that three other IS activists remain at large in Brussels and are plotting other suicide-bomb attacks. European leaders already struggling to cope with a wave of migration from the war-torn Middle East said they must rely on better anti-terrorist intelligence work to identify an enemy that wears no uniform and seeks the softest of targets. They emphasized that Europe must remain tolerant to Muslims as they seek to identify the Islamic State needles in that ever-growing haystack. Leaders of the 28-nation bloc said in a joint statement that Tuesday's assault on Brussels "only strengthens our resolve to defend European values and tolerance from the attacks of the intolerant." The United Nations' lead official for Middle East refugees, Amin Awad,
warned that Europe faced an increasing risk of racist retaliation against Muslim immigrant communities. "Any sort of hostilities because of the Brussels attack or Paris attack is misplaced," Awad said. Reflecting the trauma of the moment, Belgian officials offered uncertain casualty totals at both the airport and subway, where police conducted controlled explosions on suspicious abandoned packages that ultimately were found to contain no explosives. Belgium's health minister, Maggie de Block, said 11 people were killed and 81 injured at the airport, where thousands of passengers were waiting to check luggage and collect boarding cards. Video posted on social media showed people cowering on the ground in the wake of the blasts, the air acrid with smoke, windows of shops and the terminal entrance shattered, and fallen ceiling tiles littering the bloodstreaked floor. Some witnesses described hearing two distinct blasts, with shouts apparently in Arabic from at least one attacker before the second, bigger explosion. Zach Mouzoun, who arrived on a flight from Geneva about 10 minutes before the airport blasts, told BFM television that pipes ruptured, sending a cascade of water mixing with victims' blood. "It was atrocious. The ceilings collapsed. There was blood everywhere, injured people, bags everywhere," he said. "We were walking in the debris. It was a war scene." Marc Noel was about to board a Delta flight to Atlanta. The Belgian native, who lives in Raleigh, North Caro-
lina, said the first blast happened about 50 yards (meters) from him. "People were crying, shouting, children. ... It was a horrible experience," he said. A random decision to pause in a shop to buy a magazine may have saved his life. Otherwise, he said, "I would probably have been in that place when the bomb went off." Anthony Deloos, an airport worker for Swissport, which handles checkin and baggage services, said the first blast took place near the Swissport counters where customers pay for overweight bags. He and a colleague said the second blast struck near a Starbucks cafe. Deloos said a colleague shouted at him to run as the blast sent clouds of shredded paper billowing through the air, and "I jumped into a luggage chute to be safe." Brussels Mayor Yvan Mayeur said 20 people died and more than 100 were wounded in the subway blast. Rescue workers set up makeshift first aid centers in a nearby pub and hotel. Passengers on other trains said many commuters were reading about the airport attacks on their smartphones when they heard the subway blast. Hundreds fled from stopped trains down tunnel tracks to adjacent stations. Many told stories of having missed the bomb by minutes or seconds. "It was panic everywhere. There were a lot of people in the metro," said commuter Alexandre Brans, wiping blood from his face. Political leaders and others around the world expressed their shock at the attacks. "We will do whatever is necessary to support our friend and ally Belgium in bringing to justice those who are responsible," U.S. President Barack Obama said. Belgium's king and queen said they were "devastated" by the violence, describing the attacks as "odious and cowardly." After nightfall, Europe's bestknown monuments — the Eiffel Tower, the Brandenburg Gate and the Trevi Fountain — were illuminated with Belgium's national colors in a show of solidarity.

King
85.25 cents per bushel.” Born March 19, 1886, in Green County, Iowa, daughter of Hammon and Nancy Ann (Miller) Sailer, Myrtle King moved to Kiowa with her parents as a young woman. At the age of 20 years, she married `Roe’ King Sept. 18, 1906. King joined the Kiowa Congregational Church in 1916 and became an honorary member of the Pilgrim Daughters. She was also a member of the American Legion Auxiliary, treasurer of the Riverview Cemetery Association, board of directors, the Tuesday Club, and a member of the Order of the Eastern Star. The Kings had no children. King had twin brothers who died at a young age. “At the time of her death, Mrs. King owned land not only in the Kiowa area, but also in the Oklahoma panhandle and southeastern Oklahoma. Kiowa resident Sam Mott, who knew the Kings from the time he was a child, described them as `out-going people.’ The Kings built a new home at 403 S. 6th Street, complete with an oak dance floor in the basement ballroom. Today, (Rock and Laurie) Shelite own the house. “Many of today’s residents remember Myrtle King. Although the
Kings had land holdings and acquired wealth, Sam Mott described them both as `unpretentious’ and `community minded.’ The late Rudolph Ewing (former Kiowa resident) remembered Myrtle King as `a nice lady who was in the Tuesday Club with my mother and others of that time.’ The Tuesday Study Club for women founded the first library in Kiowa in 1902.” After the death of her husband, since King had no close relatives to inherit her estate, she decided to leave her estate in a trust fund that would benefit Kiowa for years to come. The plaque discovered in the Shirts and More building revealed the earliest recipients and then there are many more, some of whom are: South Barber USD # 255, Kiowa District Hospital, City of Kiowa, Kiowa Public Library, Kiowa Historical Society, Creative Corner Nursery School, Boy Scouts, American Legion/Auxiliary, Kiowa Lions Club, Riverview Cemetery Association, Estudie Club, Kiowa Industrial Development Corp, South Barber Recreation Commission; Girl Scouts, Friends of the Kiowa District Hospital and Manor Foundation, etc. In 1984, Kiowa’s City Council inaugurated the observance of Myrtle King Day. That was at the suggestion of the late Cappy Lawson who was Kiowa Historical Society president at the time. Since that time a banner has flown over Main Street designating the special day until the last few years due to a problem with the strength of the poles to hold the banner in place. At the suggestion of Roberta Christensen, flowers are placed on the King graves by the Kiowa Historical Society each Memorial Day. King died at the age of 90. As Jean
Brown wrote, “Yes, the Myrtle King Trust is one of the best things that ever happened to Kiowa. Thanks, Mrs. King.”

An estimated 70 firefighters from Barber County, Kansas, and Alfalfa County, Oklahoma, battled this blaze north of Hazelton, Kansas, Monday. Photo by Kiowa volunteer firefighter Casey Williams
By Yvonne Miller With winds blowing around 25 mph early Monday afternoon, a grass fire broke out northwest of Hazelton, Kansas. Kiowa Fire Chief Roger Robison said they received the call at 2 p.m. If you go four miles north of Hazelton on Tri-City Road (a blacktop) and one mile west, you’ll see Sam Spicer’s home. The fire started one-and-a-half miles west and one-and-a-half miles north of Spicer’s house, Robison said. The fire continued spreading through a 4-5 mile area to the northeast, clear to College Hill Road, Robison said. To his knowledge, the chief said, the fire charred only grass and trees. He doesn’t think any structures or livestock were involved. Although Robison said at this point he doesn’t know all the landowners involved, he knows some of the landowners were Sam Spicer, Jake Newton, Scott Mathews, the Stewart Ranch and Landwehr family. Robison said all of Barber County’s firefighting units responded as did the one from Nashville, Kansas, and part

of the Burlington and Amorita-Byron, Oklahoma, departments. He estimates that at least 30 grass rig firefighting trucks and 70 firefighters helped battle the blaze. Monday night around 9 p.m., firefighters had the flames under control, Robison said, and some stayed to watch hot spots. “The fire snuck around in the canyon,” he said. Tuesday morning firefighters were on Newton’s land 3/8ths of a mile northwest of where the fire started. Winds were at 12-15 mph and expected to rise Tuesday afternoon. “It’s supposed to blow 35 mph Wednesday,” the chief said. “We’ll sit with it most of today because there’s lots of dead trees in the canyons,” Robison said. The chief thanked those who brought food and drink out to the firefighters.
