Lynn Says

Checking the budget

By Lynn L. Martin The Woods County commissioners voted last Monday to take a look at how the Woods County sales tax collection is spent.

The commissioners are anticipating that sales tax collections will be falling for a while because of the oil/gas industry slow down.

The county sales tax was passed back in March of 1992 and fortunately was not ear-marked for any one specific use. If there was one thing I will always remember preached by the late Don Benson, it’s “Never ear-mark any tax at election time.” Don’s point was that things are always changing and our leaders need the flexibility to accommodate those changes.

For example, the 911 service did not exist in Woods County when the .5 percent county sales tax was passed, but today a lot of that sales tax revenue goes to support the 911 service.

We went through an expensive election a little over a year ago to “unear-mark” the money designated for the local hospital. Initially, it was earmarked for capital improvements. The election changed that so the hospital board could allocate it to areas most in need. They have been able to catch up on a lot of debt and continue to move forward in reducing the age of unpaid accounts. As I recall, before that unear-marking occurred, the hospital was at 70 days in payables aging and now it has improved to 41 days.

I asked at the last county commissioner meeting if there are county entities that need to be worried about the sales tax expenditure review. The answer was basically “We need to look at everything and make sure we’re spending wisely.”

Today’s Email Joke Random thoughts as we age: The biggest lie I tell myself: “I don’t need to write that down, I’ll remember it.”

Wouldn’t it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for 10 minutes, come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller?

Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven’t met

yet.

I don’t trip over things, I do random gravity checks.

I don’t need anger management. I need people to stop hacking me off.

Old age is coming at a really bad time.

Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and friends to post my bail when I finally snap!

I don’t have white hair. I have “wisdom highlights.”

My people skills are just fine. It’s my tolerance of idiots that needs work.

If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would’ve put them on my knees.

The kids text me “plz,” which is shorter than “please.” I text back “no” which is shorter than “yes.”

I’m going to retire and live off of my savings. Not sure what I’ll do the second week.

Even duct tape can’t fix stupid ... but it can muffle the sound.

Of course I talk to myself. Sometimes I need expert advice.

Oops! Did I roll my eyes out loud?

At my age “getting lucky” means walking into a room and remembering what I came in for.

Chocolate comes from cocoa, which is a tree … that makes it a plant, which means … chocolate is salad!

Have I sent this to you already, or did you send it to me?

Pat Myers to fill Schrock’s unexpired term on Kiowa hospital board Hospital district in the black ; Medicare cost report and audit to be given at May 20 annual meeting

By Yvonne Miller The Monday night meeting of the Kiowa District Hospital Board was the final one for board President Zack Odell and Vice-President Lori Schrock. Odell announced a few months ago he would not seek his seat when it’s up for reelection at the May 20 annual meeting.

Odell said he accepted a job offer to be chief executive officer (CEO) of Sherman Thomas Telephone (S&T) in northwest Kansas and will move to Colby soon with his family.

As announced previously, Schrock resigned from her unexpired term on the KDH board at the end of the meeting Monday. Following an executive session, the board approved appointing Pat Myers to fill Schrock’s unexpired term. Myers previously served on the hospital board for seven years. Myers’ service began when he filled the unexpired term of Galen Fischer, who passed away in 1995.

Board members present at the meeting were: Odell, Schrock, Brenna May and Jim Parker. Member Chantae Simpson was absent. Also present was CEO Margaret Grismer; Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Janell Goodno; Manor Administrator Kim Balding; Dr. Christie Leal, D.O.; Physician Assistant Melissa Stroh; Director of Nurses (DON) Heidi Courson; and Friends of the

Hospital and Manor Foundation President Judy Schrock.

Hospital’s Financials and Statistics Goodno was pleased to tell the board, “We are in a receivable status with Medicare.” The total due from Medicare at the end of March was $308,000.

Presenting the hospital’s operating statement for March, Goodno said total gross patient revenue was $378,047. Total contractual adjustments (including other adjustments and provision for bad debt) were $329,283. These figures resulted in net patient revenue of $707,330.

Total operating expenses were $554,824, so net from operations was $152,908.

With the addition of $110,236 total nonoperating revenue (mainly tax money) the hospital was in the black $263,144 at the end of March.

Total hospital admissions in March were 20. That made total days of care for acute and swingbed 101, which is the highest of 2015.

Goodno explained the hospital’s profit of $263K was contributed from the contractual adjustment of the additional receivable from Medicare and the inpatient and swing bed volume for March.

The CFO said KDH is currently receiving $2,405 per day for Medicare inpatient stays and $2,170 per day for

Medicare swing bed skilled days. This reimbursement is determined by Medicare from data included within KDH’s cost report. The rates will be adjusted again after Medicare reviews and files the 2014 cost report.

Outpatient visits totaled 543. Total clinic visits were 407. None of those figures included the health fair participants.

Goodno noted that gross patient accounts receivable is $808,579. Less allowances of $199,001, net patient accounts receivable are $609,578. Uncollected taxes total $471,468.

The comparative balance sheets for the hospital and manor show $382,193 earnings as of the end of March.

DON Courson said she and Grismer are working hard to meet the requirements of the surveyors.

Manor Financials and Statistics Manor Administrator Balding said the manor resident total was 20 as of Monday.

She spoke of the success of the manor’s revitalization program that is ongoing.

The large room at the manor’s entrance has transformed into an attractive, cozy living room setting. The dining room transformation is just beginning. She said they are searching for their next service project for the community.

Balding thanks everyone for their monetary donations and volunteerism to make the revitalization a reality.

Goodno presented the manor’s operating statement for March. It showed $102,445 net patient revenue. Total operating revenue was $109,814.

Total Operating expenses were $168,372. Goodno pointed out there were three pay periods in March. That made a loss of $58,558 for the manor. That loss was reduced to $52,722 with the addition of $5,835 mainly tax revenue.

More KDH Board Business Courson said that 69 people attended the KDH First Annual Health Fair. Stroh said an estimated 30 of those people made an appointment at the clinic afterwards.

Grismer presented the tuition assistance policy for the board’s review. This is for any employee of the hospital, clinic or manor who wants to improve their position at KDH through continuing education. The

Effective June 1, boundaries for two precincts (330-Jet and newly established 320-Goltry) in Alfalfa County have been changed, Kelly Stein, secretary of the Alfalfa County Election Board, announced today.

The changes were adopted to better serve the county voters. The new boundary will re-establish the Goltry polling place.

Some voters will have a new polling place as a result of the change.

Stein said that a new voter identification card will soon be mailed to any voter whose precinct polling place changed as a result of the new precinct line. If you have a change in address (911 addresses), now would be a good time to update this information to make certain you receive your new card. The polling place is indicated on the new Voter Identification Cards. For more information please contact the Alfalfa County Election Board at 580-596-2718.

Alfalfa County commissioners meeting

By Leslie Nation CHEROKEE – The Alfalfa County commissioners met Monday for their regular weekly meeting.

Before approval of minutes, the commissioners reviewed an open bid from D & B Oilfield for concrete for bleachers for the Alfalfa County fairgrounds.

They reviewed another open bid for an Internet and phone system for the OSU Extension and election office in the new fairgrounds. KanOkla made a bid of $19,959.48 that was approved by the commissioners.

The commissioners then reviewed and approved the minutes from last week’s meeting, payroll warrants, M & O warrants for payment, blanket purchase orders and road crossing permits.

Other items on the agenda that were reviewed and approved were: • County clerk to go out on bids for six month bids, • Private property access easement NW/4 of 3-24-11 and SE/4 of 16-24-11 to remove trees from right of way and place on farmer’s land, • FY 2015-16 Detention Transportation Agreement between Office of Juvenile Affairs and the Alfalfa County

Commissioners, • Transfer from H-173 Visual Inspection Capital Outlay to H-17 2A Visual Inspection M & O for $2,000 for supplies, • Transfer from T-2A M & O fro District No. 2 to T-3 Capital Outlay District No. 2 for $200,000 for hydraulic excavator.

The commissioners tabled the payment for additional services for $1,112 from Guernsey for engineer Zachary Korenak.

Before adjourning the meeting, Commissioner Chad Roach made an announcement about receiving complaints from the community about the main-

tenance for Alfalfa County Museum.

Roach stated that Alfalfa County does not own the museum; therefore, they have no way of funding upkeep. The museum is actually owned by the historical society, but all board members are now deceased or have resigned.

With no unforeseen business, the commissioners then adjourned the meeting.

Road crossing permit revenue is as follows: Dist. # How Many $ Amount 1 3 $5,000 2 1 $500 3 1 $1,750 Total All Dist.

Caps and gowns, tassels and school rings commemorate the spring season: graduation is upon us. Some of the most famous graduation quotes come from a popular children’s author.

“You’re off to great places, today is your day. Your mountain is waiting so get on your way,” Dr. Seuss said.

Aptitude tests, sleepless nights, hard work and determination have paid off for one student.

Hayden Bonine of Nash, son of Chad Bonine, has been awarded the NOC/ OSU Gateway Ambassadors Scholarship at Northern Oklahoma College. This

high honor is given to students who have demonstrated academic leadership in their high school. The scholarship includes a tuition waiver for up to 18 credit hours, fees and books. Applicants must have a 25 or higher ACT score and a 3.60 GPA. As an added benefit to the NOC/OSU Gateway/Ambassadors Scholarship award, students will be a part of the President’s Leadership Council.

Writer seeks Sex predator program costs to Alfalfa County double by 2025, report says relatives Dear Editor, I am looking for relatives and descendants of Isaac and Emaline Neff.

They worked a farm and raised a family in Alfalfa County, Oklahoma.

Isaac Neff married Emaline Holmes when they lived in Scioto, Ohio. Isaac died on the farm in Alfalfa County in 1896 and was buried in Barber County, Kansas, in the Hazelton Cemetery.

Emaline moved to live with her son Charles and family in Stella, Alfalfa County, Oklahoma. She died in 1924 and was buried next to Isaac.

I am planning a trip to Alfalfa County and would like to meet living relatives of my ancestors. Their daughter, Mary Elizabeth Neff, married William Flatt Sr. They moved to Stiglar where William grew up.

Deana Van Wart 3909 Coachman Dr. Independence, MO 64055 dvwgenealogy@gmail.com 816-478-1597

By Nicholas Clayton TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The cost of civilly committing sexual predators for treatment in Kansas could double during the next 10 years if steps are not taken to improve the program, the state's auditor said in a report released Tuesday.

The report estimates that the program's cost will increase from $13.9 million in 2014 to between $26 million and $34 million in 2025 and its population will eventually double to more than 500 confined patients if policies do not change.

Offenders deemed to be sexual predators are committed to Larned State Hospital after they serve their criminal penalties and are released only after completing a seven-phase treatment plan. Since its inception in 1994, the number of patients in the program has grown to 258 and just three have been released, while 27 have died during their confinement, according to the state agency that runs the program.

Scott Frank, the lead legislative auditor, said that the program's population is increasing by 10 to 15 patients per year and its facilities will reach maximum capacity in the next five years, because "the primary way that someone leaves the program is that they get old enough and then they pass away."

"To put it really bluntly, if you're going to put 10 to 15 people in, and that's the only way that they're going to get out, then the population has to grow to the point that 10 to 15 die a year," Frank said.

The news comes as state lawmakers return from their annual spring recess Wednesday looking for ways to close roughly $422 million in budget shortfalls through cuts and tax increases, and legislators are increasingly concerned about the programs costs, said Sen. Jeff Longbine, an Emporia Republican.

"At some point over the next couple years the Legislature is going to have to make some really hard decisions about how we are going to continue this program," he said.

The report also found deficiencies in the way patients are treated in comparison to similar programs in Iowa, Washington and Wisconsin, saying officials did not take sufficient records of patients' progress and did not offer as much treatment to patients as the other states' programs.

Seton Hall law professor Barbara Moses, who settled a lawsuit with the state of New Jersey over a lack of treatment its program 2012, said Kansas' program is known as "one of the worst in the country" in terms of treatment quality and patient outcomes.

The New Jersey settlement guaranteed offenders 20 hours of professional therapy and increased independent oversight.

The amount of clinical therapy Kansas patients received ranged from zero to three hours per week, according to the report, but Larned superintendent Tom Kinlen claimed most received four to six hours of group therapy and varying amounts of individual therapy depending on the patient.

Angela de Rocha, spokeswoman for the Department of Aging and Disability Services, which runs the program, said the department has already implemented many of the report's recommendations, and stressed that few leave it because they are deemed to be a high risk to offend.

"We have a very narrow front door, and a very narrow back door," de Rocha said.

State Auditor Lynn Retz said Wisconsin, which has released 118 patients from its program since 1994, estimates that between 3 percent and 5 percent of those discharged end up returning to prison or treatment for additional offenses.

US Supreme Court to consider challenge to execution drug

By Tim Talley OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Exactly one year after a botched lethal injection, attorneys for other Oklahoma death row inmates were set to ask the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday to outlaw a sedative used in the procedure — a ruling that could force several states to either find new execution drugs or change the way they put prisoners to death.

The lawyer for one of the inmates said midazolam has been a "spectacular failure" as the first of a three-drug combination for lethal injections, even beyond the 43-minute execution of Clayton Lockett that sparked the lawsuit. Lockett writhed on the gurney, moaned and clenched his teeth for several minutes on April 29, 2014, before Oklahoma prison officials belatedly tried to halt the process.

"There have been cases throughout the United States that have been reported in which midazolam has not sedated the condemned," said Mark Henricksen, who is representing Richard Eugene Glossip in the case.

Three months before Lockett's execution, Ohio inmate Dennis McGuire snorted and gasped as he was strapped to the gurney and didn't die until 26 minutes into the procedure. It was the only time Ohio had used a two-drug combination that included midazolam, and prison officials have since abandoned it. Officials in Arizona have said they are also abandoning the drug and will try to obtain others for executions.

Assistant Federal Public Defender Dale Baich, who represents some death row inmates, said a ruling in favor of the inmates would apply to a handful of states that use midazolam as part of their lethal injection protocol.

"Lethal injection as a method of execution would not come to an end, but states would not be able to use midazolam," Baich said.

Four states have used midazolam in executions: Arizona, Florida, Ohio and Oklahoma. Another three states, Alabama, Louisiana and Virginia have execution procedures that allow for midazolam but have not used the drug in executions, said Megan McCracken, a death penalty expert at the University of California at Berkeley law school.

The Oklahoma lawsuit was filed by 21 inmates, but only attorneys for the three whose executions have been scheduled for this year will make arguments Wednesday — the one-year anniversary of Lockett's death. They're urging justices to rule the drug unconstitutional because it's possible an inmate would remain aware even after the drug was administered, resulting in severe pain when the next two drugs are injected.

But Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt has asked the high court to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing in legal papers that lower courts have ruled the dosage of midazolam called for by the state's execution protocol is likely to render death row inmates unconscious during their executions.

"So far, seven courts have reviewed the same facts that will be considered by the U.S. Supreme Court, and all seven have ruled that Oklahoma's lethal injection protocol is constitutional," Aaron Cooper, a spokesman for Pruitt, said in an email.

"The facts determined by the lower courts are well supported by the record and medical literature."

Lockett's execution was the first time

Oklahoma had used midazolam. On Jan. 15, another Oklahoma death row inmate, Charles Warner, was put to death using the same three-drug combination that was used in Lockett's execution and showed no obvious signs of distress. Executions are on hold in the state while the high court considers the challenge.

McCracken said it was hard to know whether a decision in favor of the Oklahoma death row inmates would have broader implications. But Henricksen said he believes a favorable ruling would bar the use of midazolam for lethal injections in other states as well.

States have had increasing difficulty obtaining execution drugs as pharmaceutical companies, responding to criticism mainly in Europe, have refused to sell their products for that use. State after state has passed laws shielding key details about the drugs, including their source, from the public.

But there have been nine executions since the court agreed to hear the Oklahoma case in late January. Each one used a single drug, pentobarbital.

Meanwhile, the challenge has forced officials in Oklahoma to scramble to find alternative methods for conducting executions. Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin signed legislation into law on April 17 that made the state the first in the nation to approve nitrogen gas as an alternative death penalty method if lethal injections aren't possible, either because of a court ruling or a drug shortage.

There are no reports of nitrogen gas ever being used to execute humans, and critics say that one concern is that the method is untested. Some states even ban its use to put animals to sleep.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Oil production increased last year in Kansas while natural gas production declined, newly released numbers show.

The numbers, which the Kansas Geological Survey released Monday, show that Kansas produced about 49.5 million barrels of oil last year, marking a 5.7 percent increase from 2013, The Topeka Capital-Journal (http://bit.ly/ 1J6QyzS) reports. Despite falling prices, last year's oil production was at its highest level in Kansas since 1995.

However, the production and exploratory efforts related to oil and gas tailed off toward the end of 2014 as the prices dropped, according to KGS. The value of the oil produced dropped from $4.11 billion in 2013 to $4.09 billion in 2014.

The state's top oil producer for 2014 was Ellis County, with about 3.4 million barrels, followed by Harper County, with 2.9 million barrels.

Harper and Sumner counties both saw a notable increase in production as drillers explored different areas of the Mississippian limestone play, which lies

under south-central and southwest Kansas, KGS geologist Lynn Watney said in a news release.

The news release said most oil production in the Mississippian came from hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking. Rawlins, Logan and Scott counties, which are over the Pennsylvanian-Age Lansing-Kansas City geologic group, also saw a notable increase. Their wells are primarily vertical, unlike the horizontal fracking wells.

Meanwhile, natural gas production fell by 2.5 percent to about 287.6 billion cubic feet. With a one-year exception, production in Kansas has dropped every year since 1996.

Stevens County was the largest natural gas producer, and most gas production was concentrated in southwest and south-central Kansas. Most counties with natural gas wells showed declining production, although the amount produced rose in Stanton County.

Kansas oil production rose in 2014, gas dropped

Replacement mascots revealed for Oklahoma City high school OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Students at an Oklahoma City high school are poised to pick a new mascot to replace one deemed offensive by the American Indian community.

Oklahoma City Public Schools spokeswoman Tierney Tinnin revealed two mascot finalists for Capitol Hill High School on Monday night. Students will decide Wednesday if they want to cheer for the Red Wolves, a nearly extinct species, or the Guardians, which would be represented by a mythical created known as a griffin, next year.

The school board voted 8-0 in December to remove the 88-year-old Redskins mascot after hearing from students, teachers and a district official who said it is offensive and harmful.

Since then, the district has been trying to rally support from community members

interested in assisting with the transition.

"We wanted to create opportunities to engage the current student body with the Capitol student alumni association," said Tinnin.

The group included students, faculty, alumni, community members and Native Americans.

"All the kids had these big long list from unicorns, to honey badgers, to whatever we could think of, and we talked it all the way through," said Capitol Hill's secretary, Wanda Thompson.

She said she's confident that the school and the district have made the right decision because now everyone can be represented.

The change is expected to cost the district about $200,000. The school plans to auction off memorabilia to help pay for the transition.

Near Nepal quake epicenter, desperate villagers await help

By Katy Daigle, PASLANG, Nepal (AP) — There is almost nothing left of this village but enormous piles of broken red bricks and heaps of mud and dust.

One of those piles was once Bhoj Kumar Thapa's home, where his pregnant wife pushed their 5-year-old daughter to safety in a last, desperate act before it collapsed and killed her during Saturday's earthquake.

On Tuesday, Thapa and others in Paslang were still waiting for the government to deliver food, tents — any kind of aid — to this poor mountain village near the epicenter of the quake that killed more than 4,700 people, injured over 8,000 and left tens of thousands homeless.

"When I got home, there was nothing," said Thapa, an army soldier.

"Everything was broken. My wife — she was dead."

He was put on leave from his army unit to mourn, one of the few Nepalese soldiers not deployed in the country's massive rescue and recovery operation. But instead of sadness, there

is anger.

"Only the other villagers who have also lost their homes are helping me.

But we get nothing from the government," Thapa said.

An official came, took some pictures and left — without delivering anything to the village of about 300 people north of the capital of Kathmandu, he said.

"I get angry, but what can I do? I am also working for the government," Thapa said. "I went to ask the police if they could at least send some men to help us salvage our things, but they said they have no one to send."

Paslang is only 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) up the mountain from the town of Gorkha, the district headquarters and staging area for rescue and aid operations. But the villagers, who have no idea when they might get help, are still sleeping together in the mud and sharing whatever scraps of food they can pull from beneath their ruined buildings. Three people in the hamlet have died.

Officials and foreign aid workers who have rushed to Nepal following the magnitude 7.8 earthquake are struggling against stormy weather, poor roads and a shortage of manpower and funds to get assistance to the needy. On Tuesday, the district managed to coordinate 26 helicopter trips

to remote villages to evacuate 30 injured people before a major downpour halted the effort.

"We need 15,000 plastic tarps alone. We cannot buy that number," said Mohan Pokhran, a district disaster management committee member.

Only 50 volunteer army and police officers are distributing food and aid for thousands in the immediate vicinity, he said.

"We don't have nearly enough of anything," Pokhran said.

On Tuesday came more tragedy: A mudslide and avalanche struck near the village of Ghodatabela and 250 people were feared missing, district official Gautam Rimal said. Heavy snow had been falling, and the ground may have been loosened by the quake.

But there also was also some heartening news: French rescuers freed a man from the ruins of a three-story Kathmandu hotel, near the main bus station. The man, identified as Rishi Khanal, was conscious and taken to a hospital; no other information about him was released.

Across central Nepal, including the capital of Kathmandu, hundreds of thousands of people remained living in the open without clean water or sanitation more than three days after the quake. It rained heavily in the city Tuesday, forcing people to find shelter wherever they could.

While many across Nepal are opting to sleep outdoors for fear of the

constant aftershocks, those in Paslang have no choice because almost no buildings are left standing. At night, survivors huddle together against the cold, rain and mosquitoes, and wait until dawn.

Tilak Bahadur Rana, a farmer, still has a tin roof over his head but the cold rain leaks through.

"In any case, I can't sleep. I am too stressed. I worry about how I will feed my family," he said.

Some in Paslang have seen sacks of food being flown by helicopter to remote regions reachable only by air, without stopping. The arrival in the village of a diesel generator Tuesday, brought by "a nice charity man" from a foreign aid group that no one could identify, brought moments of much-needed elation as dozens crowded around to charge their cellphones on four attached power sockets.

Sitting in the mud and sharing tea made over an open fire with his wife and children, Rana confessed he was losing heart.

"Because of this earthquake, the

whole village is destroyed. We need food. We need a place to sleep, or compensation for all we have lost," he said.

Instead, the villagers are pooling anything they can rescue from the ruins, which isn't much: a pile of garlic bulbs, wax honeycombs and some bed rolls, doorknobs, metal pans, and portraits of Nepal's last king and queen.

To help feed his family of 10, Loba Thapa dug into the brick dust that was once an A-frame building where he stored his livestock and food.

Thapa — no relation to the soldier — sifted out some millet and cornmeal, although it still contained powdered bricks, pebbles and livestock dung.

Still, it was all the family had to eat.

"I have lost everything. Everything is below the rubble, including my clothes," the 50-year-old said, throwing his hands up in exasperation.

The U.N. said the quake affected 8.1 million people — more than a fourth of Nepal's population of 27.8 million — and that 1.4 million needed food assistance.

The challenge is to reach them in rugged isolated villages. Trucks car-

rying food were on their way to affected districts outside the hard-hit and densely populated Kathmandu Valley.

Geoff Pinnock of the U.N.'s World Food Program was leading a convoy of trucks north toward the worst-affected areas when the rain began, causing a landslide. " I can maybe get one truck through and take a risk driving on the dirt, but I think we'll have to hold the materials back to try to get them out tomorrow by helicopter," he said.

The World Food Program said distribution of rice would begin Wednesday in Gorkha district and that the agency plans to provide $116 million worth of food in the next three months.

In the town of Gorkha, rescue helicopters delivered several injured women who grimaced and cried out in pain, unable to walk or speak.

Sita Karki winced when soldiers lifted her. Her broken and swollen legs had been tied together with wisps of hay twisted into a makeshift splint.

"When the earthquake hit, a wall fell on me and knocked me down," she said.

Nepal's death toll rose to 4,768, said police officer Hari Bhakt in Kathmandu. Another 61 were killed in neighboring India, and China's official Xinhua News Agency reported 25 dead in Tibet.

Thomas Meier, an engineer with the International Nepal Fellowship, called the disaster "a long-term emergency."

"This will need major attention for the next five years," he said. "People have nothing left."

Aline man charged with lewd and indecent acts

By Marione Martin An Aline man has been charged with two counts of lewd or indecent acts against a child under 16. The felony charges were filed April 21 in Alfalfa County against Anthony Edward Phillips, 31, of Aline.

The charges follow an investigation

by District Attorney’s Investigator Steve Tanio who was told by Alfalfa County Deputy Sheriff Loren Nusser he had responded to a child sexual assault allegation in Aline. A woman said her 11 year old daughter was being molested by

From Page 6

her step-father.

Tanio interviewed the girl on April 20 at a residence in Aline. The girl said the sexual touching had occurred over at least the last year with the last time being two weeks prior to the interview.

The child said her step-father came into her bedroom in the evening hours and would put his hand under her clothing.

Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Chris Ray said he conducted a post-Miranda interview with Phillips on April 20. Ray said Phillips admitted touching the girl’s genitals one

time but said it was an accident. He also admitted grabbing her breast.

On April 20, Tanio conducted a postMiranda videotaped interview with Anthony Phillips who admitted touching the girl a couple of months ago but said he stopped when he realized it was the 11-year-old and not his wife.

In a handwritten statement, Phillips said he apologized for “dealing with stress and being financially unstable and accidentally touching …” He also stated, “I can’t stand child molesters and I am not one.”

Kiowa

board capped the amount at $2,500 per semester.

Regarding the manor, Grismer, Balding and Courson recommended utilizing the PointClickCare program. This is for reporting electronic health records of residents in an immediate and more efficient manner. Courson explained the plan is to have kiosks in the hallways with touchscreen computers. Immediately after providing treatment for a resident, nurses and other health care personnel simply go to the computer and enter the information.

The computers are set up directly to the

MDS which is directly linked to Medicare.

Courson said the PointClickCare company has 75 percent of nursing home business across the U.S. Facilities using this program have seen 60 percent more revenue per patient based on better documentation, Courson said.

The cost of the PointClickCare system is around $600/month for the software and a one-time charge for hardware of $10,000 to $15,000. Grismer said it is economical to replace the old hardware with the new.

Regarding health networks, Grismer said KDH is currently a member of the Southern Plains Network at Pratt.

Grismer said Via Christi at Wichita has the Wheat Plains Network, for which she’s been working on an application the last month. She said this agreement would better suit KDH since their practitioners go toward Via Christi

for referrals and services. Ultimately the patient has a choice to go either direction.

Since pharmacist John Hagood resigned as in-house pharmacist, the board is reportedly negotiating an agreement with Kiowa Prescriptions Plus, which is owned

by Lance Freeman.

In other action, the board discussed options to hire mowing of the hospital lawn or purchase a lawnmower. The board received two sealed bids from people wanting to contract the mowing. The board reportedly opened those bids in executive session and took no action upon return to open session. The board also approved the risk management/quality assurance monthly reports.

The KDH annual meeting is Wednesday, May 20, at 7 p.m. in the Kiowa Community Building.
