Lynn Says
A variety of topics including important speech By Lynn L. Martin Since the oil boom in northwest Oklahoma has contributed significant sales tax and some business revenue to our area, we are naturally concerned about the possible impact of falling oil prices.” The Kiwanis Club and the Rotary Club have arranged for Tom Ward to speak at a Thursday noon meeting on April 9 in the ballroom at NWOSU. Bill Buckles, who arranged for the speech and who is involved in the Woods County Mineral Owners Association, is inviting members of that organization also. Why is a speech by Tom L. Ward important? He may very well be the most significant player behind the oil boom. He and Aubrey McClendon co-founded Chesapeake Energy, then he started and guided SandRidge for several years, and now he is the founder of a privately held company, Tapstone Energy. If you have oil/gas holdings, or if you are in a business that depends upon the energy business, I would think you
would want to hear Tom’s speech. Everyone is invited, but we need to know how many to cook for. The University’s food service, Chartwell’s, will be serving a chicken-fried steak dinner with all the trimmings for $10. We are thinking that perhaps 150 people might need to make their way through the food line. As a result, serving will start at 11:30 am. We can’t afford to short Tom Ward on speaking time. The Kiwanis Club and the Rotary Club will turn in their estimated attendees on Monday, April 6. We also need to know how many others will attend so the right amount of food can be prepared with no waste. We have tickets at the newspaper office. If you would like to attend, drop by and pick up your ticket before April 6 and we will put your name on the food preparation list. You are not required to purchase a meal ticket. However, you might find yourself standing for the speech if you choose to attend as place settings will be ready for those who are going to eat. Another Internet Fraud I’ve been getting a message similar to this perhaps twice a month. It’s warning me I’m about to run out of email space and they want me to tell all my email information. Not good. I’m my own email administrator and I don’t have a help desk team. Here’s how it reads: “Dear: Account User, “This message is from the System
Administrator support center. Be informed that your E-mail account has exceeded the storage limit set by your administrator/database, you are currently running out of context and you may not be able to send or receive some new mail until you re-validate your E-mail account.

Is is from some bank I’ve never heard of. Also, since I don’t have a debit card, that’s a pretty good clue these clowns are fishing for victims. If you think you might have credit/ debit card problems, call the number on the back of your card. That’s a pretty safe way to talk to the right people. (Actually, you will not likely get to talk to a real person. Some computer will handle your inquiry. But it will probably work.)

There is really only one issue in Alva’s Mayor Election! I am the only candidate who doesn’t work for an organization that receives Alva sales tax money. Two of the candidates work for the University and one works for Share Medical Center. Many think that is a conflict of interest. I am also the only candidate who doesn’t work for an organization that has million dollar budgets. My husband and I are what some would call “blue-collar” workers. We have to carefully budget our money to make ends meet at the end of the month. With so many levels of government running out of money, I think many of you would like a budget-conscious mayor. If elected, I see my job as a communication conduit between the citizens, the council and the city professionals who know how to repair streets and keep the water running.

South Barber USD 255 has three write-in candidates, three who filed listed on ballot
Election Tuesday, April 7
By Yvonne Miller Immediately after the filing period deadline Jan. 27 in Barber County, Kansas, it appeared only three people filed for four seats up for reelection on USD 255 (South Barber School). Those filing were: incumbent Mike Anderson, to retain his seat; incumbent Deb Helfrich, to retain her seat; and Mariah Doherty, who filed for the first time. Current board members who chose not to file for reelection were Jeff Black and Dana Roark. Since the filing deadline, three interested persons went to the county and submitted their name as writein candidates. The first was Melissa Simpson, then Anna Schurter followed by Mark Lambert, who submitted his name Monday. A call Monday morning to the Barber County clerk’s office, which handles
elections, clarified what district these candidates are in – ultimately who is running against whom. A District I ballot will not show any candidates for the one position up for reelection. Write-in candidates Melissa Simpson and Anna Schurter, who are not listed on the ballot, hope voters will write in their name for that one open seat. A District II ballot will show the names of the two candidates who filed for the two open positions. They are Mariah Doherty and Deb Helfrich. Both women can serve on the board. The At-Large ballot will show the name of candidate Michael Anderson who filed for the one open position. This is the At-Large position for which Mark Lambert submitted his name as a writein candidate. Voters will go to the polls Tuesday, April 7, to determine these board seats. The Kiowa City Council will also be determined in that election. Watch for details about the city council candidates in the Newsgram next week. The following information is a look at the four people who vie for a school board position: incumbent Michael Anderson, and write-in candidates Melissa Simpson, Anna Schurter
and Mark Lambert. Each completed a questionnaire provided by the Newsgram. Mike Anderson Mike Anderson is a loan officer for The Peoples Bank. His wife is Jayne and they have three children: one is Luda, the other two are Anya and Daniel who are seniors at South Barber High School. The Andersons have two grandchildren, Ethan and Aleaha. Anderson lived in the district since 2005, serving on the school board since 2007. He said, “Overall the school district is in much better financial shape than it was when I started. Steps have been taken to upgrade the facilities – which had not been done in a long time. Overall Superintendent Morris and the BOE have done a good job of putting the school district as a whole where in needs to be with respect to finances and physical plant.” He feels qualified to continue serving on the board, “Because I care about students, their education and how it can benefit them as an individual. Yes my day to day work helps. But if you don’t have people sitting on the BOE who want the best for the students and care about education – you have the wrong person sitting on the BOE,” Anderson said. When asked to list his top three priorities for USD 255, Anderson said, “1. Expanding educational opportunities for our students – which is difficult for a small school district to accomplish given limited fund. 2. Dealing with funds being reduced to pay for the education of our students. 3. Finding good teachers as many of our teachers approach retirement. I think many have taken for granted how lucky we are to have the teachers we have had – in many cases for years. Replacing them with quality individuals as they retire is critical.” Anderson listed his reason for wanting to serve another term, “Education is important for the individual and for this

One dead, three injured in semi-pickup collision By Marione Martin One man died and three were injured in a Monday morning collision between a semi and a pickup in Woods County. Gregorio Galino-Casanova, 35, of Houston, Texas, was pronounced dead at the scene. He was a passenger in the pickup and the only one not wearing a seatbelt. He was ejected from the pickup an unknown distance from the point of impact. The driver of the pickup, James Steven Pflasterer, 41 of Ward, Arkansas, sustained internal truck injuries. He was taken to Share Medical Center in Alva by the Alva EMS and was listed in stable condition. Orlando Garcia, 34, of Woodward and Jose Reyes, 33, of Woodward were also passengers in the pickup.

The location is east of Red Horse Creek. OHP Trooper Gene Goodson reported the 2014 Peterbilt semi was driven by Brandon Wesley Rinehart, 21, of Alva. He was not injured and refused treatment at the scene. Rinehart was westbound on US-64 when he crossed the center line in a no passing zone to pass a semi. Pflasterer, driving a 2014 Ford pickup, was eastbound on US-64 when he swerved
to the left to avoid striking the semi. The vehicles struck head on. Galino-Casanova was ejected. Airbags deployed in the pickup. Garcia was pinned in the pickup an unknown amount of time before being freed by the Alva Fire Department. The semi is owned by Woods County District 2.

Three charged in It’s Chocolate thefts from Alco Fantasy time By Marione Martin Three people are facing felony charges in Alfalfa County after police say they were caught on camera pretending to scan items at Alco. Charles Garner, 23, of Cherokee, Tommy Earl Bennett, 40, of Prescott, Arizona, and Rhonda Marie Nelson, 42, of Cherokee were each charged with obtaining property by false pretense. According to court documents, surveillance footage at the register shows six separate incidents between Jan. 23 and Feb. 6 when Garner pretended to scan items for Bennett and Nelson. According to the court affidavit, the footage shows “it is blatantly clear the number of items versus the actual
items scanned is nowhere identical. The affidavit signed by Cherokee Assistant Police Chief Chris Horstman states Garner assisted Nelson to leave the store with approximately $728 in merchandise in instances between Jan. 23 and Feb. 6. On one occasion on Feb. 6 Bennett is seen with Nelson as she leaves the store with $277 worth of merchandise and even distracts a manager away from Garner’s register while he pretends to scan items for Nelson. The affidavit states the video shows Bennett receiving and concealing an item from Garner from behind the register. Warrants are outstanding for the three.
Man arrested after wife flees to deputy’s home By Marione Martin A domestic altercation in Goltry caused a woman to flee her home and seek help. According to court papers, on March 17 at 10:41 a.m. Alfalfa County Deputy Sheriff Dillin Munholland received a call about a domestic incident that had just occurred in Goltry. Deputy/Jail Administrator Vernon Sanders said Christina Weber arrived at his residence in Goltry looking for help. He said she was visibly upset and shaking. Munholland asked to speak to Weber on the phone. He asked her what had happened. She told him her husband Nathan Weber grabbed her by the throat while she was holding their four-year-old son and slammed her into a chair along with her son. She also said she was nine weeks pregnant with Nathan’s child. She said Nathan continued coming at her aggressively and yelling at her. Christina said Nathan walked away into the kitchen. She went to her son’s room to get him some clothes. She said Nathan walked up behind her and asked what she was doing. She said she told him she was leaving and that she wasn’t going to put up with him hurting her anymore. Christina said while her back was turned trying to get her son dressed, Nathan hit her in the back of the head with a big metal spoon.
She said Nathan grabbed her by the throat a couple more times and threatened her. She then went to Deputy Sanders house for help. Munholland spoke again to Sanders, asking him to check Christina for injuries. He said he could feel the knot on her head and it was red where the knot was. When Munholland arrived at Sanders’ home, he checked Christina for injuries and located the knot on her head. Munholland then went to the Weber residence where Nathan Weber answered the door. He placed Nathan under arrest and took him to the Alfalfa County Jail. Nathan Claude Weber, 38, Goltry, has been charged with domestic assault and battery by strangulation, a felony.

Cherokee Elementary remodel runs into problems By Stacy Sanborn The Cherokee school board met for a special meeting Monday night to listen to Superintendent Cory Ellis’ administrative report. They also discussed the possible realignment, scheduling and personnel needs and changes for the 215-2016 school year. In his report, Ellis said several things have come up in the elementary school remodel. He said when it was gutted, the communications system was completely removed. To get it back up and running comes with a $15,000 price tag considering the rewire, fiber, cable and intercom system. The goal is to be wireless but keep one to two hookups in classrooms in case the wireless system goes down. Ellis said KanOkla should be getting it done in the next week or so. He also stressed the intercom system is not only for convenience, but for safety issues as well. Other costs are running a new line in the recirculating hot water system at $12,310 (instead of completely removing the old system at a much higher cost) and paneling at $35,000. Originally the paneling wasn’t going to be taken off but covered up. Replacement should be done some time this week. Another discovery was the gypsum tiles in the auditorium. Contractors recommended keeping the gypsum to bounce sound back to the ground and not absorb it. This would add $1,700 to the original quote. Ellis said the stage lighting has been approved and should be done this week as well, but electricians will need to be called in since the lighting company is not responsible for the electric aspect. He also mentioned the computer lab area will now only seat about 15 students instead of the 26 it used to. He suggested either getting a mobile lab or moving into the 21st century with the purchase of
tablets since everything is now web and app based. He said about 20 would be needed to furnish a class and mentioned inquiring about the Community Foundation for financial help. Another consideration would be furnishing the elementary school. He said $75,000 was budgeted in the bond issue but that the amount was on the short side. Lunch room tables will be needed as well since the old ones were junked. Safety was once again brought up with Ellis saying that fencing was needed and that if the budget allowed, surveillance would help with seeing who was coming and going due to the many blind spots. Before moving on to the next agenda item, Ellis concluded his report with saying the bus barn was approved for $114,000 and he is working with civil engineers on placement. Looking Ahead to Next Year Moving on to the possible realignment, scheduling and personnel needs and changes for the 2015-2016 school year, elementary principal Ruth Richmond and junior/senior high principal Jeremy Hickman were present to give their take on whether to move the fifth-grade classes back to the elementary school or leave them at the high school. Fifth-grade teachers Kadie Lancaster and Alecia Mitchell were present to give their input on the situation as well. Hickman said the priority was doing what was best for the kids but his main concern was having Richmond’s teachers at his school without her being there, causing major miscommunications. He said many teachers have approached him this year with concerns that the kids may not be ready to go to different classrooms but maybe should stay in one classroom due to their maturity level. He said one advantage
to the fifth graders going back to the elementary school would be the increase in space because his school is suffering in that department. Richmond said she had no extra space right now either and with a smaller fourth grade enrollment number, the class may be able to be combined to one classroom next year, but that the kindergarten class should be split into two classes because of high enrollment numbers. She said if the fifth graders come back to her school, she would need a couple more teachers because right now without them she is housing about 182 students. The superintendent said an issue with moving the fifth grade back to the elementary school would be personnel. In a perfect world, he said the elementary would be completely isolated and not dependent on the high school personnel at all. He said accreditation would need to be considered though. Right now the district is accredited as K-5 for elementary, sixth through eighth grades for middle school and ninth through 12th for senior high K-8 was elementary school originally, but middle school test scores were all over the place. Ellis recommended considering logistics and testing scores before changing accreditation. He said he inquired about a 24-foot by 64-foot two-classroom modular for purchase at $66,525 (not including electrical and fire alarms). He said it would have to be replaced about every 10 years due to wear and tear, well over the cost of adding another teacher. Board member Jeff White said he thought fifth and sixth grade need to stay together no matter what. Lastly, Richmond mentioned the standard based grading system that lets teachers break down all aspects of a subject – for example, a student may be able to read but not necessarily comprehend what they are reading. Giving a “B” may give the impression that the student is doing well in all facets of the subject without letting the parent know where their child’s weaknesses lie in a particular subject. Administration said this system should be evaluated and decided upon before July and may start with just kindergarten and first grade and slowly work it in as not to confuse parents by going full fledged.

community. There is still a lot of work to do especially on the education side in identifying opportunities to expand what is offered to our students. I want to be part of this.” Mark Lambert Mark Lambert and his wife Karen have resided in Kiowa 22 years. Karen is a longtime cook at South Barber High School. The Lamberts have four children who all attended South Barber: Nathan, Daniel, Patrick and Paige. Lambert is finishing his two terms (eight years) as a member of the Kiowa City Council. He feels qualified to serve on the school board because he’s familiar with how boards operate and the importance of working with a budget. He lists his top three priorities for the school district as: 1. budgets. 2. policies. 3. personnel. Lambert said he is running for school board because, “I want to continue serving the citizens of this area – supporting and guiding the future leaders of our area.” Anna Schurter Anna Schurter has called Kiowa home since she was born at the local hospital. Married to Zeb Schurter almost
nine years, they have two daughters: Lily, age 7; and Saige, age 4. Schurter is a stay-at-home mom and is an EMT for the Barber County EMS. A lifelong Chieftain, Schurter said, “I have a lot of pride in my school.” “I worked as a para-professional and feel like I have a little understanding of how the school system works.” In her first time to run for school board, Schurter lists the three top priorities for the school district as, “1. The students and their needs. 2. The future of our school and faculty. 3. budget.” Schurter said she’s running because, “I want to try and make a difference. I have two great reasons to try and make the school better. I want to make sure not only are my girls ready for the world when they leave South Barber, but all the kids are ready. Melissa Simpson Melissa Simpson and her husband Shawn moved to Kiowa four years ago where he works for Chieftain Oil Co. She is employed part-time at the Barber County District Court and part-time at Clark’s Fabric Shop. The Simpsons have three children:
Cade, a second grader at South Barber PreK-6; Adrienne, who is in PreK; and Audrey is two years old. Simpson said she feels she’s qualified to serve on the board because of her involvement in the school. “Since moving to the area, I have become involved in the school system through the South Barber PreK-6 Parent Teacher Organization,” Simpson said.” I am currently in my fourth year serving as the PTO Secretary. During this time I have gotten to know many of the school’s faculty and families, and I feel that from this perspective I can be of value on the school board.” When asked to list the top three priorities for the school district, Simpson replied, “Budget issues definitely top the list of priorities for the school district in my opinion. Making sure we use our resources thoughtfully and without sacrificing quality of education would be my biggest concern. “I also think we have a great group of teachers and that we should continue to maintain this by hiring new teachers with talent and passion for teaching. My third priority would be to maintain the extracurricular activities that South Barber is able to offer. It is important to me that the schools are able to offer these activities that give kids options to further develop their skills and interests.” Explaining why she is running for school board for the first time, Simpson said, “I decided to run for school board because even before my family and I moved to South Barber, I had heard nothing but good things about the school system here. When my oldest child started school, I was able to see firsthand that we have great schools in Kiowa. I know many people work very hard to make sure we are able to provide high-quality education for our kids. I would like to be a part of that effort for my kids and all of the other kids in the district.” Simpson added, “Although I have only been in the South Barber district four years, my family and I feel that this is our home and look forward to being here for the long-term. It is important to me to give what I can to be a part of this community that has welcomed us and provided a wonderful place for my husband and I to raise our kids.”
