Freedom Gates Boys Ranch fundraising efforts bring in $11,000 By Yvonne Miller A crowd of area folks gathered for an evening of fellowship, a meal of hamburgers and an auction of donated items with one goal – to support boys who come to the Freedom Gates Boys Ranch (FGBR) where they can turn their lives around for the better.

Located in Hazelton, Kansas, the intent of the ranch is to be a Christcentered home where boys are taught, through biblical principles, how to become men who set the standard. They accept boys ages 6-18. Dennis Blake, who started Freedom Gates with his wife Nancy in the former school building in Hazelton four years ago, said they raised about $9,000 at the fundraiser from auction items and donations. With additional donations since then, Blake said they’ve raised $11,200. “The (FGBR) board is excited at the success of our first fundraiser,” Blake said. As president, Blake said the board met to plan specifics on the building project. They are building a home that will hold 10 boys and a set of house parents on 22 acres of donated land in Hazelton. Blake said they’ve hit several obstacles in getting the actual construction started. “We’ve got to break ground,” Blake said. FGBR is already getting calls about taking more boys. “We picked up a new boy today,” he
Because of this couple, Nancy and Dennis Blake who did foster care for years, Freedom Gates Boys Ranch was born in Hazelton, Kansas, and is expanding. Photo by Yvonne Miller said.

Lynn Says
Obama looks to ban Social Security recipients from owning guns By Lynn L. Martin – From LA Times This article is not written by me. I picked it up because it is amazing to me how much Mr. and Mrs. Obama want to delve into the individual lives of American citizens ranging from what our kids can eat at school to whether old folks like myself can retain a gun. As I recall, the most recent tragedies involving fire arms have involved young-ish illegal immigrants, gang-bangers or ISIS sympathizers, not old folks walking around with a cane. I realize there is a valid point in the article below about needing to remove weapons or other dangerous things (like vehicles) from those who become incompetent or suffer from mental illness. Normally family members step up and take the necessary steps. They are in the best position to see that an action like that is needed. However, I don’t like the possible idea of when one goes to the Social Security office in Enid as part of the paper work to initialize Social Secu-
rity payments they are told, “Now fill out this form and tell us about your guns.” And then later, some office bureaucrat decides, “Well, your handwriting looks a little feeble (or some other clue); let’s turn those guns in.” Here’s the LA Times story: The Obama administration wants to keep people collecting Social Security benefits from owning guns if it is determined they are unable to manage their own affairs, the Los Angeles Times reported. The push, which could potentially affect millions whose monthly disability payments are handled by others, is intended to bring the Social Security Administration in line with laws that prevent gun sales to felons, drug addicts, immigrants in the United States illegally, and others, according to the paper. The language of federal gun laws restricts ownership to people who are unable to manage their own affairs due to “marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease” – which could potentially affect a large group within Social Security, the LA Times reported. If Social Security, which has never taken part in the background check system, uses the same standard as
the Department of Veterans Affairs – which is the idea floated – then millions of beneficiaries could be affected, with about 4.2 million adults receiving monthly benefits that are managed by “representative payees.” The latest move is part of the efforts by President Obama to strengthen gun control following the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in 2012. Critics are blasting the plan, saying that expanding the list of people who cannot own guns based on financial competence is wrongheaded. The ban, they argue, would keep guns out of the hands of some dangerous people, but would also include people who simply have a bad memory or have a hard time balancing a checkbook. The background check for gun ownership started in 1993 by the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, named after White House Press Secretary James Brady, who was partially paralyzed after being shot in the 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. Gun stores are required to run the names of potential buyers through a computerized system before every sale.

The new superintendent is a graduate of Kingston High School. She completed her bachelor’ degree in education at NWOSU, and her master’s degree in education administration at East Central. Former Candidate for State Superintendent Probably the most interesting highlight in her background is that Anderson was one of the first candidates to file for state superintendent of education against Janet Barresi. She stayed in that race for about 14 months before health problems eventually caused her to pull out, but not before she made dozens of campaign stops around Oklahoma. After leaving Laverne, Anderson, her husband Charlie and the kids moved to Prague. She said, “We’ve been to a lot of places all over the state.” She has been a high school, middle school and elementary principal. She was also a director of alternative education and was able to start the juvenile detention facility at the Stroud Public Schools. Anderson has also worked with Oklahoma Parents as Teachers. Eventually, she moved back to her hometown of Kingston where was she was high school principal for seven years, and then moved on to be

Cherokee hires Donna Anderson as superintendent By Lynn L. Martin The newly hired superintendent of the Cherokee schools is quite familiar with northwest Oklahoma, having graduated from Northwestern Oklahoma State University (NWOSU) in Alva in 1992. Donna Anderson’s first job was in the fall of 1992 at Ft. Supply as a middle school teacher, and then she and her husband moved on to Laverne for a seven-year stint that was cut short by HB1017 that caused the layoff of 13 teachers. Anderson is very excited about her new job at Cherokee, saying, “We are empty-nesters ready for a change.” The empty nest was created when all three of their children found lives of their own. Amanda, age 32, is a nurse practitioner at Oklahoma Heart Hospital, and has given Anderson a five-year-old granddaughter. The middle child is Taylor, age 26, who has a new four-month-old girl and works for American Energy Partners. The last out of the nest is Jake, age 20, who just completed his education at Spartan College of Aeronautics in Tulsa. He is hunting for a job in nondestructive testing, often found in the oil field in x-raying pipes and other metal structures. The family has a fourth offspring, a young lady named Brittney, whom they
Cherokee Superintendent of Schools Donna Anderson. superintendent at Bennington for five years. Last year, she was superintendent at Silo, a town of about 330 people, just a few miles west of Durant. Anderson said she is very fortunate to be coming to the Cherokee Schools following former Superintendent Cory Ellis, who has done a fantastic job on the building project. She said, “I get the far easier job of helping to apply the finishing detail touches. This is a beautiful school.” The track that surrounds the new artificial turf football field will not be ready for the start of football season. Superintendent Anderson said they hope to make arrangements with NWOSU for the first few games of the season to be played at Ranger Field. She said, “I’m really glad to be back close to the Rangers where I can be part of the alumni association and can be involved with my first university.” A public reception for the new superintendent will be held Thursday at 5:30 p.m. in the newly remodeled auditorium. Anderson looks forward to meeting more community members. She said, “The teachers have been very welcoming.”

Kiowa City Council awaits mosquito spraying equipment, approves proposed budget Compliments Administrator Nathan Law as he prepares to leave By Yvonne Miller As swarms of mosquitoes continue to make it practically impossible to enjoy any outdoor activities in Kiowa, Kansas, this summer, the Kiowa City Council still awaits mosquito spraying equipment. City Administrator Nathan Law told the council that information at their July meeting last week. He said the sprayer should arrive within two weeks of that meeting. The council approved the administrator’s proposed plan he presented, which calls for spraying the first and third Tuesday of each month from April to October between the hours of 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Additionally, the city crew will put briquettes in standing water to kill mosquito larvae. Mayor Brandon Farney presided over the meeting with all members present: Brian Hill, Tom Wells, Russell Molz, R.L. Simpson and Bill Watson. Law sat at the council table as did City Attorney Laurel McClellan and City Clerk Marlo Rugg. Although it’s been common knowledge the last few weeks, the council officially accepted the resignation of Administrator Law “reluctantly.” Council members complimented Law for a job well done and Mayor Farney told Law he appreciated how he is leaving – having a proposed budget prepared and making a concerted effort to help find his replacement. “I feel like I should be thanking you,” Law said. “It’s like falling in love with someone and breaking up for no good reason.” Council members said they know this is a good job move up for him and great for his young family as they’ll
be closer to family. Molz told Law, “I want someone like you who is eager to learn.” Law said he obtained the service of the League of Kansas Municipalities that offers an administrator search. The LKM charge ranges from $3,736.42 to $4,236.42. He said the city will save more than that amount in one month without an administrator. This week Law will start alternating his time between his job in Kiowa and his new administrator position in Louisburg, Kansas. He’ll be in Kiowa for the Aug. 10 meeting. His last official day in Kiowa is Aug. 14. Kiowa Council Action Law presented a draft of the 2016 budget he prepared for the council to review. The council approved the proposed budget. The council will hold a public hearing regarding this budget at their next regular meeting Aug. 10 at 8 p.m. Kiowa’s planning commission met in June for a public hearing of an appeal by Marlo Moreno regarding a decision by the zoning administrator. This appeal came from a single-wide manufactured home Moreno has parked at 318 S. Fourth St. in Kiowa. The issue was with the setbacks used for placing this trailer along Fourth Street. Law said Moreno was given numerous options such as building a privacy fence, having a minimum of metal skirting or moving the structure within three months or the matter must be handled through the nuisance property process. Law explained the council has no active part in this process. This process
stems from a state statute. Regarding a city code update, the council voted to approve Charter Ordinances 14 and 15. This deals with unexpired vacancies and allows court costs to be changed with a regular ordinance instead of a charter ordinance, which saves the city money. In an update to the lagoon ditch shape, Law said the main discussion is the lagoon fence was taken out of the reshaped sections and needs to be replaced. The council agreed to seek bids and go the least expensive way possible, giving preference to local bidders. Law recommended that the council hire David Yearout Associates, Inc., to do an update of the city’s comprehensive plan. Yearout did the city’s zoning update several years prior. The cost would be $17,500, to be paid over two budget years. Law said $10,000 of that is already in the 2015 budget. Hill expressed opposition as did Molz. The council agreed to “move on” and took no action. Following a Kansas Department of Labor safety audit, Law said the council received a strong recommendation to condemn and remove two city buildings based on safety issues. Those are the city’s brick shop building and the school museum. Before the school museum can

Earthquake Report of naked centered near man at campsite Cherokee rattles state OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – A magnitude 4.4 earthquake centered in northern Oklahoma has shaken the state, with reports of it being felt hundreds of miles away. The U.S. Geological Survey reported Monday’s quake happened at about 3:20 p.m., with the epicenter located about 9 miles east of Cherokee near the Kansas border. People reported feeling the quake in several states, including Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. The Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Office said there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. The quake was followed about 30 minutes later by a 3.2-magnitude quake about 115 miles away near Pawnee and a 4.0 quake northeast of Cherokee. Other quakes centered in the same area northeast of Cherokee were felt through Monday night and early Tuesday morning with magnitudes of 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4. The strongest Oklahoma earthquake on record is a 5.6 quake centered in Prague in November 2011.
By Marione Martin The investigation of a report of a “naked” man at a campsite in a state park led to the arrest of two individuals in Alfalfa County. According to court documents, about 3:45 p.m. on Friday, July 10, a Great Salt Plains State Park (GSP) employee reported seeing a “naked” man lying on his back when he went to collect camping fees. Park Ranger Ryan Webster drove to the campsite where he made contact with Joshua Kelly Smith, 37, Nebraska City, Nebraska. Smith was standing near a tent and wearing only shorts. Webster noted Smith was very unsteady on his feet and had a strong odor of alcoholic beverages from his person. He observed Smith could not stand still, swinging his arms and pacing as they spoke. He placed Smith in handcuffs for safety. While Webster was handcuffing Smith, Rodney Michael Zike, 41, McAlester, started yelling at them. Webster told him to stay where he was in the next campsite. Zike was with his wife and two juveniles. Webster placed Smith in the back seat of his patrol vehicle, explained his Miranda rights and told him about the report. Smith denied ever being nude. However, Smith admitted drinking Black Velvet whiskey. During an inventory of Smith’s vehicle, Webster found a 1.75 liter bottle of the whiskey that was three-quarters empty. Alcoholic beverages in excess of 3.2 percent are prohibited on state park property. When Webster asked Smith if he was on any type of medication, he said, “I’m off my meds.” K-9 Officer Hawley arrived. Zike’s
campsite was in close proximity to Smith’s, and Zike had three dogs there. Hawley said the dogs would have to be placed in a vehicle or removed from the campsite in order for his K-9 partner to work. Game Warden Bickerstaff and Webster spoke to Zike who put one dog in his camper. His wife and the juveniles took the remaining two dogs for a walk. Zike said he and Smith were longtime friends and that he and his wife were trying to help him out. After conducting a free air sniff, Hawley said his partner did not alert to any trained odor. However, he said his K-9 displayed an interest in Zike’s campsite. Webster explained this to Zike who agreed to allow a free air sniff of his two vehicles and camper. The dog was first removed from the camper so it did not interfere. Hawley reported his partner alerted to a trained odor on Zike’s Suburban. Webster asked to check the vehicle, and Zike consented. During the search, the officers located a loaded and concealed firearm, a Heritage .22 revolver. Asked why he had the loaded, concealed firearm, Zike said, “The kids must have put it there.” Zike said that a mini 14 and a 380 were in camper, and he said the 380 was loaded. He retrieved the two guns from the camper. A check on the serial numbers of the firearms showed the .22 was possibly reported and classified as stolen. Webster seized the .22 and issued a notice to appear to Zike. Smith was charged with acts resulting in gross injury, a misdemeanor. Zike was charged with transporting a loaded firearm in a vehicle, also a misdemeanor.

Drug arrest at Great Salt Plains
Man charged with assaulting pregnant wife
By Marione Martn A park ranger was helping to check fishing licenses at Great Salt Plains State Park (GSP) and ended up arresting one man on marijuana possession. According to court papers, on Friday, July 10, Park Ranger Ryan Webster was assisting Oklahoma Game Warden Ben Bickerstaff about 11:40 p.m. in checking fishing licenses along the south spillway of GSP. They encountered two men: Charles Baker of Wakita and Charles Avery of Wichita, Kansas. Avery presented his fishing license but Baker said he thought his was in Avery’s car. Both men walked with Bickstaff and Webster to the vehicle parked in the south spillway parking lot. Avery opened the driver side door and Baker the passenger side door. Baker began to look through clothing that was on the passenger side floor board. Through the open door, Webster saw an open beer sitting in a central cup holder. Bickerstaff asked Avery about the beer, and he said he didn’t drink it

while driving. Webster also observed a rectangular wooden box like that commonly used to carry marijuana and a pipe. It was sitting in an ash tray that was open and located on the lower center area of the dashboard. He asked who owned the box, but neither man answered. Webster explained that type of box typically contains marijuana. He asked again who owned it, and after a few minutes Avery said it was his. Inside the box, Ranger Webster found a green leafy substance with the distinct odor of marijuana and a small pipe with burnt residue. A round wooden container was found on the center console that contained burnt residue and ash along with rolling papers. Avery was arrested, and the car was left in Baker’s possession. Charles Cecil Allen Avery, 25, Wichita, Kansas, has been charged with possession of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a park, a felony. He also faces a misdemeanor charge of unlawful possession of paraphernalia.
By Marione Martin A pregnant woman told an Alfalfa County deputy that her husband assaulted her. Nathan Claude Weber, 38, Goltry, has been charged with three misdemeanors: domestic assault and battery in the presence of a minor, domestic assault and battery against a pregnant woman and obstructing an officer. According to court records, the charges were filed on July 15 but the assault is alleged to have occurred on March 17, 2015. Weber’s wife told Deputy Dillin Munholland by phone that her husband grabbed her by her throat while she was holding her four-year-old son and slammed her into a chair. She said when she went to get clothing to leave, her husband hit her in the back of the head with a big metal spoon. When Munholland arrived to talk to the woman, he could feel the knot on her head and saw that it was red, appearing to have just happened.

Stillwater OKs Oklahoma agency new rules for oil, offers reward in case gas drilling in city STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Leaders in Stillwater approved new rules this week for oil and gas drilling within the city to the disappointment of industry representatives. The vice president of regulatory affairs at the Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association says the city council's approval on Monday of a new ordinance is "essentially a ban" on oil and gas drilling in the city. The measure applies only to new wells. It imposes a 660-foot setback from the property line of "protected use" properties, which includes homes, churches, parks and schools. The ordinance also sets noise limits, requiring that ambient noise from drilling operations at the setback boundary be limited to 69 decibels, which is about the same noise level as a vacuum cleaner.
of missing Geary man OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is offering a reward for information that identifies the person who killed a Geary man. The OSBI said Tuesday that DNA from biological evidence inside Ed Foreman's home identified Foreman as the victim of a deadly attack in March. But the 53-yearold's body has never been found. Foreman's 2006 pickup truck was missing at the time Foreman disappeared, and a man was seen driving his truck around the time he was killed. The truck was found several weeks later near Foreman's home and investigators have recovered several items of evidence from the vehicle. Investigators have searched the area and developed new leads in Oklahoma and Texas. The OSBI is now offering up to $5,000 for information that leads to the killer's arrest and conviction.
Earthquakes continue across northern Oklahoma ENID, Okla. (AP) — Several earthquakes have been recorded in northern Oklahoma following quakes registered as magnitude 4.4 and 4.0. The U.S. Geological Survey recorded five earthquakes in the Enid area ranging from magnitude 3.0 to 3.5 between shortly after midnight until about 6:15 a.m. Tuesday. The quakes come after 4.4 and 4.0 magnitude quakes were recorded in the same area Monday afternoon. No injuries or severe damage is reported, but local residents told the Enid News & Eagle that items were knocked walls and shelves in their homes. The strongest Oklahoma earthquake on record is a 5.6 quake centered in Prague in November 2011.

By Karin Laub and Erik Schelzig CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — An uncle of the man who killed four Marines and a sailor in Tennessee has been in custody in Jordan since a day after the attacks on two military sites, a lawyer said Tuesday. Abed al-Kader Ahmad al-Khateeb told The Associated Press that he was barred from seeing his client and that family members were also prevented from visiting the detainee. Computers and cellphones were taken from the man's home, but he has not been charged with anything, the attorney said. Al-Khateeb identified his client as Asaad Ibrahim Asaad Haj Ali, a maternal uncle of the Chattanooga attacker, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez. A Jordanian official said Tuesday that he is sure the uncle and "other relevant people" in Jordan were being questioned, but he would not elaborate and or confirm that the uncle was detained. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case with the media. Abdulazeez spent several months in Jordan last year under a mutual agreement with his parents to help him get away from drugs, alcohol and a group of friends they considered to be a bad influence, according to a person close to his family. That person also spoke on condition of anonymity, out of concern it would have business repercussions. Relatives turned to Jordan after their health insurer refused to approve an in-patient treatment program for Abdulazeez's addictions to drug and alcohol, the person said. An FBI spokesman has declined to
comment on that information. Jordan is one of the most Westernized countries in the Middle East, with alcohol sold openly. However, the kingdom has also seen the spread of Islamic militant ideas in recent years, especially following the Arab Spring uprisings of 2011. Abdulazeez stayed with the uncle in Jordan, but only to help him with his small cellphone business, the attorney said. Neither Abdulazeez nor his uncle was religious or belonged to any sort of political organization, al-Khateeb said. Al-Khateeb is a prominent attorney and member of the Freedom Committee of the Muslim Brotherhood, the oldest and largest opposition group in Jordan. The Brotherhood is part of a regional movement of the same name. In Jordan, it has distanced itself from the Islamic State extremist group. In the U.S., authorities are struggling to understand Abdulazeez's motive. Investigators have described their search as a domestic terrorism probe. According to a U.S. official familiar with the probe, investigators have found writings from Abdulazeez that reference Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S.-born cleric who encouraged and inspired attacks on the homeland and was killed in a U.S. drone strike in September 2011. The official was not authorized to discuss by name an ongoing investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity. However, investigators have said they have not found evidence that Abdulazeez was specifically directed by someone to carry out the attacks. The FBI also has found other writings, from late 2013, not long after Abdulazeez was fired from a power plant job because of what a federal official has said was a failed drug test, a person close to the family said, speaking on condition of anonymity to avoid business repercussions. On a few loose sheets of paper found in the family home, Abdulazeez, clearly depressed, wrote that he was a failure and his life was worthless, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid business repercussions. The person said these writings were described to him by the family, and that
he hasn't read them himself. The family was not aware of them before authorities found them, the person added. Many who knew Abdulazeez have described a clean-cut high school wrestler who graduated from college with an engineering degree and attended a local mosque. "Everything seemed fine. He was normal. He was telling me work was going great," said one of the friends, Ahmed Saleen Islam, 26, who knew Abdulazeez through the Islamic Society of Greater Chattanooga and saw him at the mosque two or three nights before the attacks. But the person close to the family talked about a darker side. Abdulazeez was first treated by a child psychiatrist for depression when he was 12 or 13 years old. The family does not know if Abdulazeez ever received a specific mental health diagnosis, the person said. He clearly suffered episodes of depression and sometimes went for days without sleep while he was out partying with friends. But that behavior could have been connected to Abdulazeez's drug abuse, the person said. Abdulazeez also was heavily in debt because he could not hold down a steady job and talked with his family about declaring bankruptcy, the person said. Court records point to a volatile family life. His mother filed for divorce in 2009 and accused her husband of sexually assaulting her and abusing their children. She later agreed to reconcile. Recently, Abdulazeez had begun working the night shift at a manufacturing plant and was taking medication to help with problems sleeping in the daytime, the person said, and he had a prescription for muscle relaxants because of a back problem. Abdulazeez was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence April 20. He told a Chattanooga police officer he was with friends who had been smoking marijuana. The report said Abdulazeez, who had white powder on his nose when he was stopped, told the officer he also had sniffed powdered caffeine. The family believes his personal struggles could be at the heart of last week's killings, the person close to them said.

Hills Christian Ministries in Kansas and Oklahoma. Blake said Cookson Hills is so successful and a highly sought facility that they turn down about 900 kids annually. The move is away from foster care as the Blakes did for years, and the expansion is to build as a private placement residential facility. With local auctioneer Sam Spicer donating his services, the auction had many lighthearted moments. One of the most coveted items, one that brought $950, was a commemorative John Wayne rifle featuring the Duke’s gold insignia. Blake’s brother Randy Blake purchased that keepsake. A large replica painting of a classic John Wayne look brought $250. Besides those treasures, auction items included a variety of tools, John Deere toys, a custom rope, ice chests and appliances. Before the auction began, Kiowa’s Congregational UCC Pastor Bud Ruggia presented FGBR Vice President Michael Simpson with a $500 check. This gift was obtained from children collecting loose change from the congregation during children’s time at worship service for about eight weeks. Blake said, “I want to thank everyone for helping us out. It’s a real joy to see how the community supports us, which shows their love for the boys.”
