Harper County’s talent shines in Historic Anthony Theatre, renovations ongoing By Yvonne Miller The main attraction last Saturday night at the historic Anthony (Kansas) Theatre was the 2nd Annual “Harper County’s Got Talent” show. Area individuals showed their talent as intricate and colorful as the ceiling designs in the theater that held its grand opening Nov. 23, 1936, under the ownership of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Droz and Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Barron. In 1991, Anthony Theatre was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building stood vacant many years. About 2008, a group of 10 or 12 locals started talking about restoring the gem to its former grandeur. The committee still meets monthly. One of those is Main Street business owner Lyle Wellbrock. “We want to restore it, but not change the theater,” he said of the facility with the art deco facade, an architectural look popular from 1920-1940. The theater’s red and white marquee once glowed with neon lighting to welcome the line of movie patrons. It now stands dark, in need of new bulbs and a face-lift. Restoration of that symbol is a top priority. Wellbrock said the group decided to operate under the umbrella of the Sunflower Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. This is so they can

accept tax-deductible support. RC&D purchased the building from the previous owner, David Williams, for roughly $40,000. The only other owners of the theater, aside from the originals, were Bob and Donna Ash from the 1970s to the 1990s. The talent show is just one of the many attractions held at the theater each month to raise funds for renovations and provide entertainment for the community. There’s a movie many Saturday nights. They had a Saturday Night Jam recently. Wellbrock said the talent show was attended by around 140 people and raised $1,500. A serious goal of many is to establish the historic building as a home for a community theater who performs plays. Concerts and film festivals are other options. Saturday night marked a milestone as for the first time in recent years that the theater had heat, as heating units were just installed to replace the antiquated boiler. Movie goers are accustomed to wearing their coats and covering up with blankets. This is an example of making improvements as the theater committee can afford them. Wellbrock said it’s their

Lynn Says
It’s been a good week for Alva By Lynn L. Martin Enclosed with this column are a couple of shots from the NWOSU choral trip to New York City this week. The group picture is at St. John the Divine Cathedral where the students performed. Another shot includes a street scene with Karen Lindstrom giving us a wave. The university, Dr. Irene Messoloras and the vocal students are doing a great job of bringing fantastic recognition to our university and community. Ladybugs Of course, you would have to be living in a cave not to have heard that the Ladybugs girls basketball team won the girls Class 2A
basketball championship for the second year in a row. The whole tournament schedule was a lot of fun. It was heart-warming to see so MANY Alvans gathered at one place out of town with a common goal. During the course of shooting photos for the high school yearbook and the newspaper, I saw quite a few former AHS graduates, many of whom live in the OKC area, who attended the games. One team member’s mother mentioned to me Monday night an observation from a Chisholm Longhorn player’s mom. The Chisholm Lady Longhorns played (and were defeated) in the Class 3A championship game right before the Alva-Preston game, which was the Class 2A championship contest. A lot of Chisholm fans hung around to watch the Alva game. Anyway, the Chisholm mom noted that
the Chisholm girls don’t enjoy nearly as much community support as do the Alva teams – events such as lots of newspaper ads, parades before and after, vehicles lined up as fans honk their horns when the teams return to town, along with tremendous economic fundraising support. I think a “labor auction” for the Ladybugs brought in something like $40,000. This is because there is really no community of “Chisholm.” The high school by that name is located alone in a rural area north of Enid. I was relating this story to another lady and she said, “That quality of support doesn’t exist in the big cities either. Those folks don’t know each other.” So I guess the Lee-Haley-originated bumper sticker is

He can offer a possible down payment of $10,000 if necessary. The board will give final approval when needed. The bid for purchase of a storage container to store track equipment by the practice field received board
approval. Jon Guffy submitted that bid for $6,400 that includes delivery. The board previously declared property school property at 510 Sixth St. as surplus that was ready for demolition. Also the old cellar on the school playground will be filled. They accepted the proposed bid option sheet with amendment to add “below ground level” after five feet.

The board also approved the transfer of 54 percent of the concession funds in the activity account to the activity accounts of elementary teachers, the junior class, student council, accelerated reader, cheerleaders, music and athletics. The board held a nearly 20-minute
executive session to discuss noncertified personnel with no vote to be taken upon return to open session. A second executive session lasted just over 10 minutes to discuss the acquisition of real estate and future building projects. Administrator’s Report During his superintendent’s report, Elliott gave board members a worksheet showing oil production revenue and the way it is is distributed. He told the board there are four lots at 308 Main Ave. with a measurement of 100 feet by 140 feet. The superintendent reminded that the Oklahoma City Stock Show is March 13-21 during spring break. He said that T.J. Rockenbach already attended a new board member workshop on March 6. The OSSBA District 2 meeting will be at Shattuck on Thursday, April 23, at 6:30 p.m. Superintendent Elliott and four board members will attend. Principal Feely reported Burlington’s enrollment as 119 elementary and 37 for the high school. He said that Sam Jerome, a Civil War re-enacter, met with fifth and eighth graders on March 10.

E911 revenue decline creates funding pinch By Lynn L. Martin A report distributed at the Woods County commissioners meeting revealed the income loss the E911 service is experiencing. Most of the decline is because people are dropping their land-line telephones and using cell phones exclusively. For the first eight months of the fiscal year, the service has received income (from telephone fees) of $291,400.89. At the same time a year ago, the income was $315,444.31. Ex-
penses so far for the same time period this year are $342,692.62. That’s a loss of over $51,000, which is having to be made up from the county general fund. All rural counties are experiencing this problem, whereas the metropolitan counties are still well funded from the land-line fees. The best solution is for the rural counties is to combine several counties into one call center. ATT can route the county 911 lines to any location and it makes no differ-
ence as to where the dispatching tower is located. Also, the communications can be duplicated on several towers if necessary, which is similar to the way the cell phone network operates. Right now, the Woods County call center handles Grant County calls besides Woods County calls. The commissioners have occasionally talked with other counties about handling theirs. One factor slowing down the process is a county-pride in handling their own calls.

Alva Farmer’s Cooperative distributes dividends By Lynn L. Martin The Alva Farmer’s Cooperative Association annual meeting was held Monday night at the Woods County Fairgrounds. Even though grain storage income was down from 2013’s $14,832,540 to 2014’s $9,246,394.32
because of a poor wheat crop, other revenue made it a pretty good year. The 2014 crop was less than 25 percent of the size of the 2012 crop. Nonetheless, total earnings for the co-op was $934,938.05 compared to $1,321,187.59 a year earlier. Manager Ronnie Truelock told how the co-op is using modern satellite technology along with GPS tracking to apply fertilizer and weed control chemicals to the land in varying amounts all in one pass. The varying amounts take into consideration the different soil needs in
one field. The good news for cooperative stockholders is the total dividends distributed came to $315,365 with the cash portion distributed that night totaling $189,000. Truelock said that in the last three years cooperative members have received $1,999,826 in patronage dividend distribution. Board members were elected: Kenneth Waugh to position 1, Jared Bates to position 2, Steve Sneary to position 3, and Tim Ohm continues as does Randy Schwerdtfeger.

Registered voters in Alfalfa County who want to vote by mail absentee ballot in the April 7 regular municipal general elections and special election for the Aline-Cleo I-04 School District have until Wednesday, April 1, at 5 p.m. to request one, County Election Board Secretary Kelly Stein said today. “If absentee voters miss Wednesday’s deadline, they aren’t out of luck, however,” Stein said. Voters who want to cast absentee ballots still can do so in person at the county election board office on
Thursday, April 2, or Friday, April 3. A two-member, bipartisan absentee voting board will be on duty each day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday and Friday to assist absentee voters. “In-person absentee voters fill out an application form when they get to the office. They are not required to give any reason for voting absentee,” Stein said. “They are required to swear that they have not voted a regular mail absentee ballot and that they will not vote at their polling place on election day.” According to Stein, the absentee
voting board verifies a voter’s registration information. Then the board issues all the appropriate ballots to the voter. The voter marks the ballots in a voting booth and then casts them in the voting device. “It is very much like voting at a precinct polling place,” said Stein. For more information, contact the Alfalfa County Election Board at phone number is 596-2718. Those who have requested absentee ballots can track the status of their ballot at http://www.ok.gov/elections/Voter_ Info/Online_Voter_Tool/.

Kiowa council considers water needs, parking for senior citizens By Yvonne Miller Mayor Brandon Farney presided over the March meeting of the Kiowa City Council with all members present, including Mark Lambert, Tom Wells, Russell Molz, R.L. Simpson and Bill Watson. City Administrator Nathan Law, City Attorney Laurel McClellan and City Clerk Marlo Yandel also sat at the table. An expectant mother who has a little girl, Gracie Schurter, addressed the council on the public agenda. She expressed concern about the city fogging for mosquitoes this summer. Her concern stems from the chemicals and carcinogens in the fogging materials and the effect they have on unborn and small children. The council said they would check into safety issues. Co-op’s New Mixing Station Increases Water Needs Kiowa’s O.K. Grain Co-op is installing a mixing station on their property north of Main Street. The coop already has a building permit and the pad in place. For the project the co-op needs a three-inch service to meet their water needs. The co-op will pay the estimated cost from $12,800 to $13,400. Law wants the council to look how they can help the co-op project further by extending the line to tie into an existing eight-inch main in the area.
The council approved Resolution No. 265 with a few changes to authorize the project. They’ll also get prices on the cost of extending the line. Kiowa Tree City U.S.A. 19th Consecutive Year Kiowa women and Tree Board members Carra Mayberry, Carolyn McGinley and Bev Miller attended the council meeting to give their annual report. Mayberry said for the 19th consecutive year, Kiowa received the Tree City, USA, award in 2014. Miller said this is the fourth year she has planted and maintained pots of plants and flowers in the downtown area. In December Kiowa’s Tree Board donated $200 to the Kiowa District Hospital and Manor Foundation for landscaping. Kiowa’s Arbor Day is April 24. South Barber’s FFA will help plant trees. The tree board gives a lesson to fifth graders on planting. The council voted to give the tree board $300 for projects. They also approved the reappointment of members Fred Gillig, Sharon Kimmell and Mike McGinley to a new term for 2015-18. Senior Citizen Parking The senior citizens center continues to have a parking shortage if at least 17 individuals attend at the same time. There is not room on the main street to
accommodate parking. Senior citizens center representative Corine Harding again spoke to Administrator Law about the problem. Now with demolition ongoing for construction of a car wash, there is nowhere for people to park on the west side of the building. At the suggestion of Molz, the council agreed to make a paved parking area on the north side of the center with a railing for the ditch. The cost is estimated at $13,000. More City of Kiowa Business The purchase of two vehicles was approved by the council – one for the police department, the other for the public works department. The council accepted the low bid from Bogner Inc. of Kiowa for $28,587.35 to purchase a 2015 1500 Silverado, crew cab, 4x4 work truck. The council also accepted a bid from Bogner’s for a 2015 Silverado regular cab, 4X4 work truck for public works. The amount of that truck is $26,900. Kiowa’s Bi-Annual Trash Days are April 2 and April 9 for spring clean-up. Residents in the north half of Kiowa can leave items by the curb the week before April 2. Residents in the south half of town can leave items by the curb the week before April 9. The council approved $25,000 for storm water work. Staff will seek bids from local contractors for work on the lagoon ditch. The council decided to pass on Law’s suggestion they consider a tire collection day. As suggested by Administrator Law, the council approved purchase of a Dolphin 3001 pool vacuum from Recreation Supply for $2,499. Under council items, Watson said a breaker malfunction resulted in a higher electric bill for one of his tenants and asked the city for forgiveness in the bill. Police Chief Steven Johnson said he is starting a Boy Scout troop for boys age 11 and older. The council approved a $100 donation to Project Prom and a $50 donation to Barber County Relay for Life.

Physical incapacitation no hindrance Registered voters in Alfalfa County who become physically incapacitated after 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 31, won’t have to miss the April 7 regular municipal general elections and the special election for the Aline-Cleo I-04 School District, County Election Board Secretary Kelly Stein said today. Stein explained that state law permits registered voters who will be unable to go to the polls because they became incapacitated after 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 31, to vote on an emergency basis. “Physical incapacitation” includes
a variety of conditions – injury, illness, childbirth – that prevent a person from voting in person at the polls on election day. Aside from unplanned emergencies, “state law also allows a registered voter who is physically incapacitated on an ongoing basis or a person who is charged with the care of a physically incapacitated person who cannot be left unattended to submit an application for absentee ballot by an agent,” the county election secretary said. The agent may be any person of
the voter’s choosing who is at least 16 years of age and who is not employed by or related within the third degree of consanguinity or affinity to any person whose name appears on the ballot. Also, a person may serve as an agent for only one person at any election, Stein explained. “If you think that you or someone you know fits into this category, please contact the Alfalfa County Election Board office at 596-2718 as soon as possible for more information,” Stein said.

70 percent contained WOODWARD, Okla. (AP) — Emergency personnel say a wildfire that has charred 37 square miles in rural western Oklahoma and destroyed at least six structures is about 70 percent contained. Oklahoma Forestry Services spokes-
woman Michelle Finch-Walker said Tuesday that a wind shift caused the fire to burn back into itself, allowing crews to make significant progress to extinguish the blaze. Woodward County emergency manager Matt Lehenbauer (LEE'-en-bower) said state emergency officials will assess the damage. Lehenbauer said an evacuation Monday afternoon forced about 125 people from their homes. The evacuation is now voluntary and it's not clear how many people had returned. He said some firefighters have suffered exhaustion, but there are no serious injuries. The fire began Monday near Boiling Springs State Park northeast of Woodward. The cause hasn't been determined.

Wichita man indicted on federal charges for stealing copper WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita police say a man accused of stealing air conditioning units has been indicted on federal charges. The Wichita Eagle (http://bit.ly/1EmiOdH ) reports that Byron Stuckey faces three counts of venting a Class II substance for releasing Freon, a gas used as a refrigerant, when he allegedly cut copper tubing in units he stole in 2012 and 2014. Stuckey is currently imprisoned at the Hutchinson Correctional Facility in connection with the 2014 theft as well as forgery, identity theft and misdemeanor theft convictions from Sedgwick County.
Each count carries a potential sentence of five years in prison and $250,000 in fines. The indictment alleges that Stuckey stole air conditioning units and sold the copper and parts at scrap yards around Wichita as early as 2008. It alleges that police officers caught Stuckey cutting the lines to air conditioning units at a church on June 27, 2012. The church declined to prosecute. Police announced the indictment Monday after working with the Environmental Protection Agency's Kansas City office. According to Capt. Jose Salcido, the indictment redefines the way
police will go after people who steal air conditioners. Salcido said that he has been thinking about how to prevent more air conditioner thefts and wondered if they could be considered environmental crimes. After that epiphany, a detective contacted the Environmental Protection Agency, and the investigation gained momentum. "I can't say enough about the EPA," Salcido said. "They bent over backwards to help us out." According to Salcido, cutting one line of copper can release 4 to 6 pounds of Freon into the atmosphere. He says that cutting the Freon lines of multiple air conditioning units eventually adds up. Court records did not list an attorney for Stuckey.

By Margery A. Beck OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A Westboro Baptist Church member testified Tuesday that law enforcement officials often harass and even threaten members of her group for exercising their right to protest at Nebraska funerals. Rebekah Phelps-Davis said on the first day of trial in Westboro's 2009 lawsuit challenging a Nebraska law limiting funeral protests that a law requiring demonstrators to stay at least 500 feet from a funeral service is selectively enforced, making it unconstitutional. The 2006 law initially created a 300-foot buffer, but that was later extended. The Topeka, Kansas-based church protests at funerals throughout the country using anti-gay chants and placards because it believes God is killing U.S. military members and others for defending a nation that tolerates homosexuality. Phelps-Davis said that in Nebraska, church members are often kept much farther from funeral services than counter-protesters, who are allowed to get as close as they want. She testified that it's her job to contact law enforcement in the town or city where the church plans to protest. She first sends a letter to local law enforcement, then usually follows up with a phone call. After the protest, she sends law enforcement a thank-you note. In 2006, she said, she contacted someone in the Merrick County Sheriff's Office
to discuss a planned protest. "He told me that if we step one foot in Merrick County, they would arrest us — that he has plenty of enforcement to carry that out," she said. When she protested that Westboro members couldn't be arrested for simply coming into the county, she said she was told, "We'll get you for something — a broken tail light, disturbing the peace — something." The church did not picket at the Merrick County funeral because of the threat of arrest, Phelps-Davis said. Under cross-examination, Assistant Nebraska Attorney General James Smith noted that all of Phelps-Davis' letters ask law enforcement to set up buffer zones between Westboro protesters and counter-protesters, implying that the request is no different than the state law's buffer zone between protesters and funeral goers. Westboro has been protesting at funerals and other events around the country since 1991, but only drew widespread attention after it began protesting at the funerals of fallen soldiers in the post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Local jurisdictions and states soon
began enacting laws to try to curtail such protests. Currently, 44 states and Congress have passed funeral-picketing laws, according to the First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt University. Westboro, which is led by sisters Shirley and Margie Phelps-Roper, who are lawyers and daughters of the group's late founder, has fought the efforts through the courts with much success. That includes Westboro's successful constitutional challenge in 2010 to Nebraska's ban on flag mutilation, under which Shirley Phelps-Roper was arrested in 2007 for wearing a U.S. flag as a skirt that dragged the ground. Two federal appeals courts have upheld laws in Missouri and Ohio that keep protesters 300 feet from funeral sites, but struck down similar provisions to keep protesters from funeral processions. A U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2011 supported Westboro's right to protest at funeral services. That decision came in a lawsuit brought by the family of fallen Marine Matthew Snyder against Westboro after the church's members protested at Snyder's funeral.

Kansas House panel passes budget requiring tax increases By Nicholas Clayton TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A House budget panel endorsed a $6.4 billion budget plan Tuesday that doesn't balance without tax increases. The budget approved by the House Appropriations Committee would fall about $133.6 million short if the Legislature does not increase taxes on alcohol and cigarettes as Republican Gov. Sam Brownback has recommended. Republican Rep. Virgil Peck from Tyro was the only committee member to vote against the plan, saying he would not support a budget that increases spending without having secured the revenues to pay for it. "I know in my own home or business, I don't go out and say, 'I'm going to spend X amount of dollars, now where am I going to get the money,'" Peck said. Chairman and Republican Rep. Ron Ryckman of Olathe said approving the plan would help clarify how much additional revenue the
state will need through new taxes. "We kind of have a chicken-andegg game going between us and the tax committee. We're going to give them a target," Ryckman said. Both chambers have already approved the largest portion of the state budget by passing the governor's school funding overhaul. Brownback is expected to sign the plan later this week. The House Appropriations Committee made a series of small changes to the budget bill, including setting aside as much as $3 million to bring in an outside firm to study government programs to find cost savings. Republican Rep. Marvin Kleeb of Overland Park proposed the move, and said it would provide a high return on investment. "If we can find efficiencies that mean that we're able to actually spread out more services to more people, then we have a win-win for the taxpayers as well as those who we are trying to serve," Kleeb said.

Kansas State University would also get an extra $3.7 million and be allowed it to raise $60 million in bonds for the renovation and expansion of Seton Hall under changes the committee made to the bill. Several lawmakers disagreed with the move, however. Republican Rep. Amanda Grosserode of Lenexa said she opposed it because it would give the university an unequal share of roughly $30 million distributed to state universities each year for maintenance and repairs and would come at the expense of other state universities' budgets. Republican Rep. Don Hill of Emporia said he supported the proposal because he believes more state money should be invested in education in general, but said it was a difficult decision in hard budget times. "We're not in a position of abundance right now, we're in a position of great scarcity and therein lies the frustration and the dilemma that we have today," he said.

Records show Oklahoma inmate chatted with execution team By Sean Murphy OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A condemned Oklahoma inmate calmly chatted with members of his execution team and even recommended a vein to the paramedic in charge of setting up his intravenous line, according to documents released Tuesday related to the botched lethal injection last spring. Transcripts of interviews with prison and medical personnel inside the death chamber were among more than 5,000 pages of documents the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety released Tuesday to The Associated Press after the Tulsa World newspaper sued for their release. The documents pertained to the April 29 execution of Clayton Lockett, who died 43 minutes after the lethal injection began. The problems led to a temporary moratorium on executions in Oklahoma while the U.S. Supreme Court considers whether the state's three-drug method is constitutionally humane. The interviews with members of the execution team, whose names and identifying information were redacted from the records, show that Lockett casually chatted with the paramedic charged with inserting an IV for the deadly combination of drugs. Lockett told the paramedic his arm was scarred from previous drug use, but that there still was a viable vein in his arm. "And he said if you will go right above the scars, I have a good vein," the para-

medic told two DPS investigators. The paramedic took Lockett's advice and successfully inserted the needle but didn't have the right kind of tape to hold the line in place, according to the transcripts. The paramedic said Lockett also admitted that he intentionally dehydrated himself for three days leading up to the execution. "He was very talkative until they raised the curtain and then he shut up," the paramedic told investigators. Lockett clenched his teeth, writhed on the gurney and moaned after he'd been declared unconscious, prompting prison officials to try unsuccessfully to stop the execution. DPS released a 32-page summary of its investigation in September, which blamed most of the execution's problems on a failed single IV line in Lockett's groin, but the agency did not release the documents connected to its probe until after the Tulsa World's lawsuit. The investigation revealed that a failed line caused the drugs to be administered locally instead of into Lockett's blood, but the doctor overseeing the execution didn't notice a problem with the injection site because Lockett's lower body was covered with a sheet. The documents also reveal that the newly hired executive director of the Department of Corrections, Robert Patton, was concerned about his lack of involvement in the execution preparations. Patton told investigators he didn't even know the agency had acquired the drugs for the execution until he learned it from the media. "I found out that they had found a pharmacist and the drugs, uh through a
news report," Patton said, according to a transcript of his interview. The testimony of Patton and others involved in the execution suggest there was nervousness and unease with two executions being scheduled on the same night using a new three-drug formula that hadn't been used in Oklahoma before. "These were particularly concerning to me," Patton said. "A new protocol, one I was not familiar with really." After Lockett's execution went awry, Gov. Mary Fallin ordered a halt to the second scheduled execution of Charles Warner. Warner was executed nearly nine months later, on Jan. 15, using the same three drugs in Lockett's execution, but with a five-fold increase the amount of the first drug, the sedative midazolam. Since Warner's execution, the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to consider a challenge to the new three-drug method from a group of Oklahoma death row inmates who claim the sedative won't properly render them unconscious before the second and third drugs are administered. A legal brief in that case filed this week by 16 pharmacology professors at universities across the country states that midazolam is incapable of rendering an inmate unconscious and is an inappropriate first drug in the protocol. The court is scheduled to hear arguments in the case on April 29. Patton and other state officials have publicly acknowledged midazolam is not the preferred drug for lethal injection, but one that was selected when other more effective, drugs became unavailable because manufacturers refused to sell them to states for use in executions.

intent to have geothermal heating and cooling. The cost is over $200,000. Wellbrock said now that heat is installed, the committee can rent out the theater for private events. When talks began in 2008, architect Paul Cavinaugh deemed the theater building “a remarkably sound structure.” To date, fundraising efforts have generated approximately $600,000. That’s from grants, donations, events, concessions, etc. The committee held a preconstruction meeting July 21, 2010. The partially crumbling west and south walls were repaired. By November of that year the project had nearly $170,000. In 2013, they received a $67,200 Heritage Trust Fund Grant to renovate the front facade and replace the roof. They’ve received a $90,000 Heritage Grant. Because the theater is on the historical registry, the project gets tax credits that can be used for renovation.
The theater group also owns the lot directly to the west. A goal is to eventually build a compatible facility there for ADAaccessible restrooms, a larger concession area, etc., Wellbrock said. The Anthony Theatre Initiative builds a few dollars at a time, so your donation is much appreciated. New Applause Meter Selects People’s Choice Award at Talent Show Back to the talent show Saturday night – the crowd had fun cheering for the performers who all shared some type of musical talent. They especially loved the new applause meter shown on the pull-down movie screen. Performers walked on stage at the end of the show so the applause meter could determine the Spectator’s Choice Award Winner. That spectator winner was Derrick Poe, who sang and played guitar to
“Wagon Wheel.” Dressed in jeans, boots and a cap, Poe took command of the stage, where he is obviously very much at home with his vocal and instrumental abilities. His lively, heart-felt, fun performance also won Poe the three-panel out-of-town judge’s vote as the second-place winner. His prize was $300. The judges’ vote for the first-place winner went to the Harper County Church Falsetto Prophets. The a capella, Barber Shop type harmony of this three-man, one woman quartet was as amazing as the dreams for the theater. These singers had the crowd cheering before they were even finished with “Low Down the Chariot.” The “prophets” are Kim Cinelli, Barry Welch, Ed Hughlett and Larry D. Olds. They took home $500.

right: “Lucky Me. I live in Alva, Oklahoma.” Tom Ward to Speak in Alva Tom Ward, who co-founded Chesapeake Oil, started SandRidge Exploration and now Tapstone Energy, will speak to a joint meeting of the Alva Kiwanis and Rotary clubs on Thursday, April 9, at noon at the NWOSU ballroom. The meeting is also for the Woods County mineral owners association. We have asked Tom Ward to speak about the future of the oil and gas business in Woods County and northwest Oklahoma. That should be a very significant speech to hear. Chartwell’s, the NWOSU foods service provider, will provide a chicken-fried steak meal for $10. The catch is they need to know how many will be in attendance. Anyone is welcome. Paul Barton will provide numbers for how many Rotarians will attend, I will pro-
vide numbers on how many Kiwanians will attend, and Bill Buckles will provide numbers on how many Woods County mineral owners will attend. The last time Tom Ward spoke in Alva about 100 mineral owners showed up. The two service clubs generally attract about 25 members each for major speeches. Add those numbers together and that totals 150 people. That’s why the choice of the NWOSU ballroom. Serving will start at 11:30 a.m. It takes a while to serve 150 people and we don’t want to use up all the time allocated for the speaker for food lines. We anticipate being out of there by 1:30 p.m. I have a gut feeling the crowd will number closer to 100 because it is a noon meeting, not a night meeting. So, if you would like to attend and are not a member of the previously mentioned groups, drop by the newspaper office and we’ll sell you a $10 ticket for the meal. That way, we can turn in an appropriately sized order.

The crowd went “Crazy” for Sheryl Barnes as she elegantly performed the Patsy Cline favorite. The judges liked her smooth voice, appearance and stage performance, selecting Barnes as the third-place winner, who took home $200. There were 11 contestants, all of whom gave winning performances. This show proved that Harper County truly has talent. Although not a contestant, Rolly Williams, who sits in a wheelchair, shared his great vocal talent in between performers. His a capella rendition of Janis Joplin’s “Mercedes Benz” was priceless. A surprise performance by Elvis while the judges tallied the votes was a hoot. “People comment on the great acoustics in this theater,” Wellbrock said. That was evident in this show. Does the Anthony Theatre Initiative have a timeline in place? “No clue,” Wellbrock replied honestly, saying they move in phases as funds allow. “We’re so tickled to be this far. The city and the county both really stepped up. If people keep coming here and have fun like they did Saturday night, it’s all worth the effort!”
