Marisa’s Missives
My favorite elementary school teacher By Marisa Dye Editor’s Note: May 4-8 is National Teacher Appreciation Week I remember many of my teachers fondly, so it is difficult to pick a favorite in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week. Therefore, I’ve decided to write about my FIRST favorite teacher, Mrs. Joy Sherman. As an educator myself, I now recognize many of the teaching strategies that today are known as those belonging to very effective teachers. Mrs. Sherman differentiated instruction long before there was a half-dollar word for teaching students at their individual levels. As one of the third generation of a journalism family, I was (like my parents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents) a voracious reader. Though other teachers made me stick to the prescribed curriculum for our 3rd grade level (snooze), Mrs. Sherman let me plow through the entire stock of required readers and then let me start picking hardback books (that were -- gasp! -- supposedly “above my level”) from her classroom library. I sped through all my work and books, which resulted in my getting bored in class a lot. I would stare out the window once I had read all my textbooks, everything on the walls, my classmates T-shirts, and anything else I could see or reach. I’m sure my other teachers noticed this but likely had their hands full with my classmates and other duties. Since I wasn’t disruptive, I was usually left to
my own devices. Mrs. Sherman, on the other hand, was concerned enough that she looked for enrichment activities. She decided to teach me about genealogy when I finished my work early. I found the subject fascinating and was soon delighted to discover my aunt and grandfather had been enjoying the study of our family history for years. Due to today’s emphasis on high stakes standardized tests, students aren’t ALLOWED to have weak areas (though the rest of us are). It is common practice today to have students spend extra time in the school day working on their weak areas. Because they already know they aren’t good in that subject, they’re generally not excited about or motivated to do the work. Mrs. Sherman didn’t force me to spend extra time working on my weak area, math. Instead, she helped me grow and build on my strengths. I believe that Mrs. Sherman and our gym teacher (another highly effective teacher, Mrs. Campbell) collaborated to put on a program about our state. Mrs. Sherman wisely made this bookworm child the narrator of the Oklahoma program, and thus sneakily gave my shy 9-year-old self some practice in presentation skills by building on what I was already good at. Like other effective teachers, she knew to start with my comfort zone (reading), and then pushed me just a little past it. Another trait Mrs. Sherman shared with other great teachers was her willingness to learn. At that time, third grade was the year students began learning to write in cursive. I dutifully copied the paper and hand

position Mrs. Sherman demonstrated at the board. One day, the observant teacher noticed that this left-handed bookworm was bending her wrist at 90-degree angle so as to see what she’d just written. Mrs. Sherman realized that I had tilted my paper, as instructed, the direction for righthanded writers. Mrs. Sherman next did something COMPLETELY unexpected: she bent down to eye level with me and admitted she’d taught me incorrectly since I was left-handed, and she APOLOGIZED, saying she would find a better way to teach me, which she soon did. This was an epiphany for me. Even teachers made mistakes and had to work at learning?! Teachers aren’t supposed to know everything already? That means I don’t have to know it all already either! What a relief! Parent involvement has been proven to be one of the most important factors in student success. Mrs. Sherman bravely let my dad put a computer in her classroom so that students could play a math game (Dad, I see what you did there!) if they finished their work early. Mind you, this was in 1983, people. It was a big clunky Radio Shack PC running an educational math game on MSDOS, not those fancy, schmanchy PORTABLE devices with the INTERNET many of you young whipper snappers have in your elementary classrooms today! But did that stop Mrs. Sherman from learning how to use it with us? Of course not! That students know their teacher truly cares about them is critical for their learning from her or him. I was sure Mrs. Sherman cared about me and my classmates. I can still visualize her genuine smile that lit up her whole face. The foundation Mrs. Sherman laid was built upon by subsequent influential teachers. I slayed my math demons in college algebra by earning an A (thanks, Dr. Maharry), honed those presentation skills under the tutelage of Mrs. Bradt in speech and debate competition, read through great literature under Mrs. Holder, Mrs. Ehrlich, Dr. Steed, and Dr. Yates, and, as for my handwriting ... well, three out of four isn’t too bad, right?

Alva schools receive resignations By Lynn L. Martin The Alva school board held its final meeting before the end of school. Already, several employees have turned in resignations and retirements. Anthony Ishmael, long-time computer systems administrator, turned in his retirement request, as did Tena Martin, from the Cooperative Education Project. Eric Smith, Ladybugs basketball coach and elementary PE teacher at Longfellow, turned in his resignation. Washington School’s Caroline Taylor, Audrey Richmond and Kelsey Yarbrough are resigning. A paraprofessional at Alva Middle School, Victoria Miller, turned in her notice of resignation. The board hired Baylei Zehr as a new certified teacher for the 2015-2016 school year. Drivers education classes will be offered in two summer sessions. Steve Gale will teach one beginning May 26, and the second will begin June 23. Enrollment will be limited to 10 students per session. A fee of $175 will be charged. Washington School will conduct a Summer Learning Academy for four morning hours per day four days per week beginning in June. Several parents of Washington students have expressed interest. Inquires to parents at the other elementary schools received little response. Those who will be hired to teach the summer program at Washington are Tiffany Smith, Georgianna Gagnon, Brandi Peace, Sherrye Lovelace and paraprofessional Brandy Jones. They are anticipating 22 kindergarten students
and 15 first-grade students. Longfellow will conduct a summer reading program with Audra Olive, Melissa Maharry and Tracy Shiever during the same time period. Last year 16 students participated. Superintendent Steve Parkhurst reported on a couple of legislative changes. Any CLEET certified peace officer may carry a firearm on school property. Also, school boards now have the authority to handle appeals on graduation requirement disputes. Also, the district is still exploring providing child care services for district employees. An ad will be placed for a director of such a service and see what happens. A possible site for the service is an unused classroom on the ground level of Lincoln School. The school board granted permission for First Baptist Church to lease school buses to take kids to the Falls Creek camp. Another request was for a June trip to Oklahoma City. The church will provide licensed/certified bus drivers, fuel and a certificate of insurance coverage. The board signed an agreement with Paul Duncan to lease school facilities for a summer basketball camp May 26-28. New federal guidelines for the 20152016 school year will push lunch prices up. Elementary lunches will move from $1.95 to $2. Middle school lunches will go from $2.05 to $2.10, and high school lunches will move from $2.30 to $2.35. All breakfasts for students will go from $1.65 to $1.70. The board declared as surplus several
old windows, an HP ProBook computer, 30 football game jerseys and 10 football helmets. After an executive session, the following non-certified were reemployed: Cindy J. Anderson, Richard L. Anderson, Kelsey R. Appleton, Helen E. Barrett, Marque N. Bergner, Amber D. Bosch, Richard C. Burton, Mark G. Carroll, Jim L. Case, Pamela K. Coffman, Patricia E. Countryman, Mary K. Cox, Ladonna L. Durkee, Helen G. Easter, Jeffery S. Easter, Verleta R. Eckels, Windy A. Eckert, Faith E. Ellis, Marcy B. Engelken, Clayton A. Forrest, Jerri M. Franco, Lacey J. Gaisford, Patricia A. Gluth, Dian L. Gourley, April R. Graves, Heather L. Hall, Laura Beth Hamil, Margo D. Hamilton, Clint L. Harzman, Brandi A. Hembree, Marisha K. Hendrick, Machelle D. Hooper, Jo Ann Isenbart, Kathi D. Jenlink, Brandy M. Jones, LaLonie S. Kern, Samantha J. Louthan, Kimberly D. Loya, Doris J. Marcus, Dixie J. Meyer, Tracy L. Milledge, Karen F. Moore, Bridgette A. Myers, Myra L. Nettles, Terri L. Owen, Terri D. Parsons, Mary E. Perrin, Rebecca J. Pingelton, Hayden A. Seifert, Ted E. Shafer, Shonda S. Smith, Terry L. Smithey, Lori J. Snow, Monica R. Sterling, Leisa R. Telinde, Melynnda L. Timmons, Amy D. Toews, B. Nicole Watkins, Louis A. Zweifelhofer and Ruth F. Zweifelhofer. Alva Middle School was given permission to take two activity buses out of state to Wichita, Kansas, on Friday, May 8, for students who achieved their AR reading goals all four weeks to an indoor fun park called The Alley. This is a reward for their performance.

miles west of SH-58 (Ringwood junction). Leslie Alan Cameron, 53, of Aline was driving a 2009 Peterbilt conventional semi eastbound and was attempting to make a left turn into a private drive. Cameron had slowed and stopped his semi to wait for oncoming traffic to clear. Chumley was eastbound behind Cameron and struck the rear of the semi. Both drivers were wearing their seatbelts, and airbags deployed in the pickup. The cause of the collision was listed as inattention. Trooper Gunner Northcutt investigated, assisted by Troopers Seth Wallace, Trent Cagle and Pat Fike as well as the Major County Sheriff’s Department.

Unusual flood at Cherokee schools By Lynn L. Martin A student decided to hop up on a urinal in the boy’s bathroom at Cherokee High School and ride it like a steed. The fixture broke loose from the wall and the broken plumbing spewed water until it was two or three inches deep in the hallway. That may be the reason the Cherokee schools are now down to two custodians. Superintendent Cory Ellis said that good custodians are hard to find, but he has received a couple of applications. The school board may have had a good time at their meeting, but the school staff and guests suffered waiting outside the board room for about two and one-half hours while an executive session was conducted to review the superintendent’s recommendations on potential hires, extra duty assignments, certified staff and non-certified staff. The meeting finally wound up at 11:30 pm. The vote on hiring Chad Hutchison as assistant high school principal was close. Jeff White and Kory Littlefield voted no. Amber Wilhite, T. J. Allison and Tony Hellar voted yes. One certified employee was hired: Travis Lyon who will teach high school math. Non-certified staff hired unanimously included Sarai Arana, Manuela Castro, Sarah Fallis, Amber Green, Patricia Green, Seidy Hernandez, Sharon Inman, Amy Leslie, Debra Lohrding, Allyson McFeeters, David Newlin, Judy Porter, Kayla Puffinbarger, Kendra Puffinbarger, Connie Roberts, Kathleen
Roglin, Amantha Sanborn, Anna Sanborn, Carla Sanborn and Tyler Ward. Extra duty staff was also hired with unanimous yeses – John Arnbrecht, Gayla Failes, Cindy Graham, Matthew Guffy, Steve Hickman, Chad Hutchison, Gregory Jantzen, Anita Jordan, Lance Leslie, Allyson McFeeters, Alicia Mitchell, Rebekah Munholland, Jason Paris, Judy Porter, Kendra Puffinbarger, Tyler Rice, Bryce Schanbacher, Cindy Schanbacher, and George Weve. The following resignations were tendered: Shelly Davis, Jill Trout, Kathy Gregory, Kandice Heitz, Jimmy McBride and Tamara Goeken. After the executive session, the board opened bids from Farmer’s Exchange Bank and Alfalfa County Bank on the district’s need to borrow from $2 million to $2.5 million to start the sports complex work. The most attractive offer was from Farmer’s Exchange Bank for $2.5 million for 10 years at 3.55 percent interest. ACB offered $2.5 million at 4.25 percent interest, plus they wanted a pledge of a $1 million deposit of some form. The Farmer’s Exchange Bank did not mention a collateral deposit but Superintendent Ellis said the bulk of the district’s deposits are already at FEB. The board spent quite a bit of time paring down the cost of the sports complex bid offers. (See another story in this Newsgram about bid-opening.) They eventually reduced the cost from $5.233,695 down to $5.1 million by cutting out a lot of concrete and asphalt. This figure does not include
a new concession stand but the superintendent said proceeds from the bond issue money give them about $700,000 to use either as the first couple of years’ payment on the bank loan or perhaps to handle the concession stand expense. With the board approving the loan Monday night, construction will start next Monday. The auditorium remodeling is coming along nicely with new carpet and new ceilings complete. The facility will not be complete by graduation, which will be held in the gym. Principal Jeremy Hickman talked about student handbook changes. A new definition of a “half day” attendance was added. This was to handle problems of students who might miss a day of school but still wanted to participate in extra-curricular activities that night. Also, he discussed penalties for tobacco use on the tobacco-free campus. Several minutes were spent on dress code issues such as definitions of “short-shorts” and how to determine that. Another issue Hickman was unhappy with in the handbook was “immoral behavior ... doing something illegal” that did not occur during school time or on campus. The handbook forced the principal to punish the student with a school punishment because they did something that violated the law on the weekend downtown totally unrelated to the school. The district needed a vehicle to carry wheelchair-bound students. They voted to purchase a 2005 Grand Caravan out of Tulsa for $16,900.

Waynoka school board hears public’s comments about growing library, overcrowded kindergarten By Stacy Sanborn Monday night’s school board meeting in Waynoka netted a few visitors, but only two had comments. After roll call, Monica Shepard read her statement. She talked about the two Scholastic book fairs that were held this school year, one for the holidays that brought in a whopping $7,000 and the spring fair for over $3,000. She said that since two fairs were held within one school year, 60 percent of the money comes back to purchase new books for the school library. As a fill-in for the librarian the last four years, Shepard said she noticed the library is growing with new books, but space is lacking. “We either need to expand the library somehow, or do something different with the books that are not being checked out. For instance, this book right here is ‘The Thurber Carnival.’ It has not been checked out since November 17, 1985. And before that, it had not been checked out since 1978.” She showed another book that had last been checked out March 12, 1986. She asked the board to show a little more interest in the library. “We push our kids to read and to get their book points, which is great,
but let’s show our interest by making some changes and improvements for our kids.” Overcrowded Kindergarten The next to comment was Cherie Truesdale who also read a written statement. Her concern was about the overcrowding of the kindergarten class. “At the beginning of the school year, I addressed a few board members on this subject,” she said. “I am not sure why it was ignored for the entire school year. What you chose to do as an administration was not fair to the students or the teacher. I have voiced my concerns over the crowding of classrooms and was told it was being addressed. “As far as I know it was never on the website or in the paper that you were actively looking for a second kindergarten teacher,” she stated. “I have a student in kindergarten this year. His class has over 30 students in it all year. Is that how we raise champions? My son has started to struggle, which he has never before. You might say that that is just him, but I do not think it was fair to him, the other students, and especially the teacher that this was not addressed. How are they supposed to learn and pay attention with 30-plus five and six
year olds crammed in a classroom like sardines? “I am not sure what the motive was for doing this to such a wonderful teacher that honestly loves our children and did a great job with the hand she was dealt.” Truesdale went on to further commend the kindergarten teacher, Melanie Green, and told the board she would like to see them teach that many students and do it as well and as patiently as Green. Truesdale said another issue she has is with the lack of hiring substitute teachers. “A hired teacher’s aide or teacher should never have to be kept with 30-plus students by herself because we are too cheap to pay hired help.” She said though she is a proud Railroader, her family has considered transferring their kids or home schooling so they have a fair shot. She said she believes the issues can be fixed and that she holds no hard feelings, just hopes that the board will make the correct adjustments. Main Revenue Sources Doing Well No other visitors elected to comment and the meeting moved along to the consent agenda. Superintendent Loren Tackett said the gross production check was still higher than those from the last few previous years. He said the May check will arrive around the 10th or 11th of this month and that ad valorem collections have come in right about where they were supposed to, and as the two main sources of revenue, they are holding up well. The consent agenda was approved and Tackett was next up to give his report. He said they got the building painted this past weekend and the new carpet was delivered prior to that. The goal is to get as many rooms as possible before the carpet goes in. He said he got Joe Hammerstein registered for bus inspection training in June in Muskogee. The superintendent said Hammerstein has been doing a good job taking care of things since there have

Gator returned for a cause
Terry Ryel gives Loretta Ball a ride in her Grand Prize Gator that she won during AEC’s annual meeting. She is selling the Gator to raise money for her grandson’s medical expenses By Robyn Turney Shortly after AEC’s grand prize winner was announced at the annual meeting, someone was heard saying, “Some little old lady just won the Gator!” That “someone” was very badly mistaken. The Gator winner, Loretta Ball from Enid, is one special little lady. Ball was born south of McWillie and graduated from Helena. She grew up on the farm doing chores alongside her brothers, Kenneth and Ernest Rexroat. Ernest Rexroat had ties to Alfalfa Electric as he served on the AEC board from 19912004. The night of the annual meeting Ball kept telling me, “I wish Ernest were here. He would have loved this.” Attending the annual meeting was
a yearly event for Ball. As in the past, this year she had come for the food, the entertainment, and, well, just a fun night. “I never thought about winning, just always came,” she said. She never dreamed of winning the 2015 John Deere Gator – she didn’t even know what it was! After hearing her name announced as the Gator winner, Ball told me, “I have never won anything in my life. I just can’t believe I won.” Later she informed me that she would probably sell it and use the money to help her grandson who had fought through two pancreas transplants and was facing more health issues. I assured her that she could take some time to think about it, and I would contact her the next week. I called Ball to get some information for this article. She was still just as excited as she was Friday night. “I haven’t been this excited since we got electricity on the farm in 1947. I still remember watching AEC put up our yard light. It was so bright. We couldn’t believe we were getting electricity to our house.” After a long conversation, Ball confirmed her desire to sell the Gator. She had no second thoughts to selling it to help her grandson, but I could tell she was curious about this “Gator.” I simply asked her if she would like to come to Cherokee for
a ride in her Gator before she sold it. “I would love to!” she exclaimed. The next morning Ball arrived with her sister-in-law Nadine Rexroat, who had driven Ball to Cherokee – not because Ball was unable to drive at 85, but because she was so excited that she didn’t think it would be safe for her to drive. Before I began interviewing Ball, she informed me that I knew her daughter Dennette Ray. It suddenly hit me. I not only knew Dennette and her husband Randy but also knew her grandson Trevin. I taught both Trevin and his brother Landon when I lived in Enid several years ago. These boys were two of my favorites – yes, teachers do have favorites! I remembered reading articles about Trevin’s transplants but had not made the connection. Now, I would like to share Trevin and Ball’s story. Trevin Ray was born with a genetic birth defect that was not discovered until he was a junior at Enid High. Like his older brother Landon, Trevin was an awesome athlete and an even better kid. He was forced to give up his athletic dreams of high school and college. Since his junior year he has had two pancreas transplants and 14 major surgeries. Trevin didn’t sit at home and feel sorry for himself. With the help of his family and the determination of an athlete, Trevin overcame many obstacles. In December of 2014, he graduated from Keiser University in Port St. Lucie, Florida. In January Trevin married Jenn Fisher, a heart transplant recipient. The couple met while competing for the United States in Durban, South Africa, at the World Transplant Games. Jenn competed with Team Philly, while Trevin competed with Team Oklahoma. Trevin and Jenn live in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, where Trevin works for a golf course and a computer company. Recently Trevin received word of more medical complications, and that’s when his biggest fan, Grandma Retta, steps in. AEC is partnering with Bellamy & Co. of Cherokee to sell the Gator for Ball. Josh Bellamy has agreed to handle the auction with no commission and no buyer’s fees. The auction will open on May 1 and close at 3 p.m. central time on May 14. All terms for the auction will be available at callbellamy.com. The auction will be advertised both locally and nationwide.

Woods County Health Department seeks volunteers for support after disasters
Jennifer Lopdrup and Ryan Bickerstaff
Lapdrup – Bickerstaff announce engagement Mr. and Mrs. Kim Lopdrup of Winter Park, Florida, along with Henry and Harriet Bickerstaff of Alva, are pleased to announce the engagement and upcoming marriage of their children, Jennifer Faith Lopdrup of Mountain View, California and Ryan Martin Bickerstaff of Palo Alto, California. Jennifer is a 2011 graduate of The College of William and Mary. She is employed at Intuit as a senior product manager. Ryan is a 2000 graduate of Alva High School and a 2004 and 2005 graduate of Stanford University. He is employed at Intuit as a staff software engineer. The couple will exchange vows on June 28, 2015, at 5 p.m. at Palmdale Estates in Fremont, California. To learn more about the couple go to www.jenandryan2015.com.
Disasters can strike anywhere at any time. Whether it’s a natural disaster such as a tornado, or a man-made terrorist attack, there is a need for volunteers to respond to all hazards, as well as to provide public health support throughout the year. It is for that reason that the Oklahoma Medical Reserve Corps (OKMRC) was established. The OKMRC, Oklahoma’s only medical and public health volunteer program, is directed by the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH). It is a statewide system comprised of specialty teams, and county units operating under the authority of local county health departments. The program’s main objective is establishing a system to identify, train, and organize medical and public health professionals, as well as lay volunteers to supplement and support ongoing emergency response systems and personnel. Kerry Stafford is the OKMRC coordinator for Woods County who oversees the administrative process and ensures volunteers have proper credentials for their volunteer assignment. “Oklahomans are known for their ability to come together and assist others in times of tragedy,” said Stafford. “OKMRC provides the opportunity for people to offer their services in a coordinated and effective manner.” Currently, there are more than 5,000 OKMRC members throughout the state. Many are volunteers who are practicing or retired medical professionals such as doctors, nurses, emergency medical technicians, pharmacists, hospital-based
workers, nurse assistants, veterinarians, dentists and others with health/medical training. However, it’s not a requirement for a volunteer to have a medical background. Community citizens without medical training can assist the primary health teams with administrative assistance, communications, record keeping and other support functions. All OKMRC organizations share the common goals of: • Creating teams of volunteer medical, public health, and lay professionals to help during emergencies and disasters. • Offering education and prevention to improve the public health of neighborhoods and communities. Upon entering the program, volunteers are trained about a community’s emergency procedures, trauma response techniques, use of specialized equipment and other information. For more information about the organization or to become a volunteer, contact Kerry Stafford at 580-625-3693, or visit the website at www.okmrc.org.

By Marione Martin An Alfalfa County mother brought her son to the sheriff’s office to report on a party where the juvenile consumed alcohol. According to court records, the mother said her son had something he needed to tell the deputies when they arrived at the Alfalfa County sheriff’s Office March 24. The 17-year-old said he and three other juveniles went to a party at the home of Trigg Stanley, also known as TJ Stanley, arriving about 9 p.m. The juvenile said when he entered the Stanley residence, he saw a pool table set up to play a game called beer pong. He said he went to the refrigerator and got himself a beer. He said the beer was openly available for all to drink. He said he drank approximately five to six beers while at Stanley’s house. The teen said people were drinking and partying throughout the night. He said he and his three friends stayed at the house all night and left at approximately 6:00 or 6:30 the following morning. On May 1 in Alfalfa County, Trigg James Stanley II, 21, Jet, was charged with misdemeanors of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and sale of beer to minor/allow on premises.

Five arrested on illegal narcotics charges in Kiowa; four remain in jail One person charged with intent to distribute By Yvonne Miller Five individuals were arrested on illegal narcotics charges in Kiowa, Kansas, April 25. That’s a result of the Barber County Sheriff’s Office with assistance of the Kiowa Police Department and Kansas Highway Patrol conducting a search warrant. At 520 Hopkins St. in Kiowa, officers found methamphetamine, marijuana and paraphernalia, according to Sheriff Justin Rugg. The sheriff said the individuals arrested were Vickie Gantt, age 55 of Kiowa; Chance Gantt, 19 of Kiowa; Alva residents Ricky Lee, 22, and Jason Smith, 24; and Kayla Womack, 19, who had an Arizona driver’s license. Womack bonded out at $2,500, according to Rugg. As of Tuesday, the four others remained in the Barber County Jail. Sheriff Rugg said his department intercepted a phone call in the jail that led officers to the country where they located a box sitting out in the open. The contents were 31 grams of meth, 12 grams of marijuana and $850 cash, according to the sheriff. The sheriff said Vickie Gantt is charged with possession of controlled substance with intent to distribute. The five await a court date. Rugg said, “All subjects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. “

Man charged with littering after beer bottle toss By Marione Martin A man said he got scared at the approach of a park ranger and that’s why he dropped his beer bottle over the spillway at Great Salt Plains State Park (GSP). Rynn Gene Davis, 25, Enid, has been charged with throwing, dropping, depositing or placing litter on public property, a misdemeanor. According to Alfalfa County court documents, on April 25 about 7:05 p.m. Park Ranger Ryan Webster was on patrol in the parking area of the south spillway at GSP. He saw a man, later identified as Davis, standing near the spillway wall
and holding a glass bottle of Budweiser beer in his right hand. As Webster drove closer and exited his vehicle, he saw Davis look back over his shoulder at him. He then saw Davis turn back toward the spillway and lean over the wall with the bottle in his hand. When Davis straightened up and was no longer leaning, he no long had the beer bottle. The spillway at GSP contains the Salt Fork River which is directly below where Davis was standing. When Webster reached Davis, he asked his age. Davis said he was 25. Webster asked why, since he was of legal
age, he had dropped the bottle over the spillway. Davis said his friend hollered “park ranger” as Webster approached. “I got scared,” Davis said. Although Webster could smell the odor of alcohol coming from Davis, he did not find him to be impaired. He issued a notice to appear citation. As he explained the citation and the appearance date, Davis said, “Well I guess I’ll have a warrant.” He said he had no way to get to Cherokee and no way to pay a fine. Webster explained his obligation to appear and told him to contact the Alfalfa County District Attorney’s office.
School safe room dedication to include news storm tracker presentation CLEO SPRINGS – On Thursday, May 7, Aline-Cleo Elementary School will celebrate its new storm shelter with a safe room dedication ceremony featuring a severe weather safety presentation by Oklahoma City News 9 Storm Tracker Marty Logan. The ceremony will be begin at 10 a.m. in the school’s gymnasium and is free and open to the public. Logan, a retired lieutenant from the Woodward Fire Department, has been tracking storms for News 9 for more than 20 years. In 2013, members of the Oklahoma House and Senate honored him for helping warn residents of his hometown that the deadly April 15, 2012, Woodward tornado was headed their way. Logan will cover severe weather safety in regards to floods, lightning, tornadoes
and shelter. “Our goal is to provide a safe place for every single student, teacher and staff person in the school during the threat of severe weather, and this safe room is a great first step toward that goal and is reason to celebrate,” AlineCleo Superintendent Barry Nault said. “We are looking forward to Marty Logan’s presentation and will open it to everyone in our community because severe weather safety is important to all, no matter your age or how long you’ve lived in Oklahoma. We can never be too prepared.” The safe room was made possible by a $15,000 donation from the MidContinent chapter of the Gas Processors Association (GPA). The project team originally
estimated the start date for safe room construction to be in May or June, but in late February, the school district learned of a pre-constructed safe room that could be transported from Joplin, Missouri, to the Aline-Cleo school and would be available immediately. The shelter was delivered to the school in mid-March, well ahead of the original timeline. It was one of 31 shelters originally built to protect children at temporary schools constructed in Joplin after an EF5 tornado destroyed or damaged 10 Joplin School District buildings, including the district’s only high school in May 2011. The approximately 200-square-foot concrete and steel shelter features 8-inch thick walls and weighs about 70,000 pounds; it is made to withstand winds in excess of 250 miles per hour. In early April, voters in the Aline-Cleo Public Schools District approved a bond issue that will help fund additional safe rooms to provide a safe place for every student, teacher and staff person. Nault expects to have the additional shelters in place before the start of the next school year to cover the entire school, which hosts about 80 children ranging from pre-K to sixth grade, plus its teaching staff.

By Yvonne Miller Saturday early evening (before dark) a single vehicle crash injured four boys, one critically, who attend Chaparral High School (located between Harper and Anthony, Kansas). Harper County Sheriff Tracy Chance said the wreck occurred on a dirt road south of Anthony toward Manchester, Oklahoma. This was on southeast 50 Avenue. Sheriff Chance said all involved are juveniles so he doesn’t release names. He confirmed two of the boys are brothers. Two are age 17, one is 16 and one 15. Chaparral Superintendent Josh Swartz said three are juniors and one is a sophomore. He also did not release the names because of the juvenile privacy issue. Sheriff Chance said the boys were traveling in a white, 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee “at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control.” The SUV flipped end-over-end approximately five times, landing on its top in a field, the sheriff said. Three boys were ejected and one remained inside the vehicle, according to law enforcement. The driver, age 17, was critically injured. The sheriff

The commissioners reviewed two bids for limestone chips from Martin Marietta Materials out of Oklahoma City, and Lavicky Sand Company, Inc., from Enid. Initially the commissioners accepted the bid from Martin Marietta as the low bid for $24.15 per ton over Lavicky Sand that cost $34.88 per ton. However, after further review, they rescinded the bid, and accepted the bid from Lavicky Sand because Martin Marietta did not meet spec requirements.

Burlington school board accepts audit, approves window remodel project By Yvonne Miller The Burlington Board of Education held a special meeting that lasted just over 30 minutes the evening of Monday, April 27. Board President Terry Graham called the meeting to order with members present: T.J. Rockenbach, Allison Armbruster, Roger Allen and Aaron Smith. Others attending were: Superintendent Glen Elliott, Principal Shane Feely, Minutes Clerk Tamre Bohn, Brenda Stricker and auditor Buddy Carroll. Board members discussed employing an architect to work on a
school remodel of some windows. Bohn said this will involve some windows on the south side of the school building and three windows on the west side of the cafeteria. The board approved employing Boynton Williams Architects to design and work on the remodel project in the cafeteria and main building. Buddy Carroll of Chas. A. Carroll Auditing presented the school’s 20132014 fiscal year audit. He presented a copy of the formal audit and reviewed a condensed version with the board. Carroll said there was no material or significant
items of noncompliance noted. In the management letter Carroll listed three errors: not all requisitions, invoices and/or packing slips in the activity fund were signed by an authorized employee; the Child Nutrition sub-account had a small balance on hand at June 30, 2014, and should have had a zero balance; and the district’s report of federal program expenditures on OCAS was in excess of the actual expenditures associated with Title I (511). The board accepted the 2013-2014 fiscal year audit as presented. The following encumbrances, change orders and warrants were board approved as follows: general fund encumbrances 431-444: $5,169.78, and warrants 1171-1178: $1,665.21. That concluded the special meeting business.

By Sean Murphy OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — More than half of Oklahoma's $611 million shortfall in next year's budget will be plugged with mostly one-time sources of revenue, limiting the steepest cuts to agency budgets to about 7.25 percent, the House's top budget writer said Tuesday. House Appropriations and Budget Committee Chairman Earl Sears said "well over half" of the $611 million hole will be filled with revenue from the state's Rainy Day Fund, Unclaimed Property Fund, agency revolving accounts and other sources. Sears said the final details still are being worked out with negotiators from the Senate and the governor's office, but that an agreement could be announced as early as Friday. "Our biggest obstacle has been identifying ... what pools of money and revenue sources we can all agree upon that we want to use," said Sears, R-Bartlesville. "We all three have different numbers." Senate Appropriations Committee
Chairman Clark Jolley, the Senate's chief budget negotiator, confirmed that more than half of the $611 million hole will be filled with one-time sources of revenue and money from cash reserves. Jolley, R-Edmond, said agreements also have been reached on how much to cut from numerous state agency budgets, "but the devil is really in the details on a lot of the bigger agencies that represent a huge amount of the state budget." Lawmakers also are looking to target some of the direct apportionments, or "off-the-top" money that is diverted from the state's General Revenue Fund. Among those Sears and Jolley said is likely to be targeted is the County Improvement for Roads and Bridges, or CIRB fund, which receives money from motor vehicle taxes. Sears also said he expects K-12 schools to either be held harmless or receive the smallest cut of any state agency, while both higher education and the state's career and technology
centers will see some level of cuts. But Jolley said he wasn't prepared to say common education would see the smallest cut. "There's an agreement there are several agencies we'd like to shield, and common ed is one of them, but common ed is not the king of all agencies," Jolley said. Oklahoma's public schools receive the largest share of the state's budget, about $2.4 billion out of last year's $7.1 billion budget. But despite the budget hole, Jolley, Sears and Gov. Mary Fallin all said Tuesday they do not support rolling back a reduction in the state's personal income tax from 5.25 percent to 5 percent that is scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1. That cut is expected to cost the state $57 million in the fiscal year that begins July 1, and $147 million annually after that. Democrats have been calling all session for Republican leaders to delay the tax cut, and a group of more than 90 Oklahoma businesses, foundations and nonprofit groups sent a letter to Fallin and GOP leaders on Tuesday asking them to stop the cut from taking effect. But the governor disagreed. "I think giving taxpayers relief is always an important goal for the state of Oklahoma," Fallin said, "and it was a measured tax cut. "If we track back through the decades of when we have had tax cuts in the state of Oklahoma, gradual tax cuts, we've always seen our economy turn and grow more revenue."
Budget writers agree on ways to plug half of budget hole

Veterinarians graduate from OK State
Gov. Mary Fallin signs bill banning texting while driving
STILLWATER – Today 88 veterinary students at Oklahoma State University’s Center for Veterinary Health Sciences earned their DVM degrees pledging to use the skills and knowledge they have learned for the benefit of animal health and welfare. These young veterinarians will be America’s first line of defense against diseases that affect both animals and humans. Among those entering the field of veterinary medicine is Kellie Whipple of Alva. Whipple is the daughter of Alan and Mandy Whipple of Waynoka. Recently Whipple was honored at the veterinary center’s awards banquet, where more than $575,000 was awarded in recognition of veterinary student achievements. Whipple received a College of Veterinary Medicine Alumni Scholarship for her academic achievement.
By Tim Talley OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Gov. Mary Fallin added her signature Tuesday to legislation that makes it illegal to text message while driving in Oklahoma and then issued a challenge to the state's motorists. "Don't text and drive in the state of Oklahoma," Fallin said. "We need to have a change in attitude in our state when it comes to texting or being distracted while you're driving down the highway. It's very dangerous." Fallin signed the Trooper Nicholas Dees and Trooper Keith Burch Act into law during a ceremony attended by state lawmakers, uniformed Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers and family members of the two troopers who were struck by an allegedly distracted driver in January. Dees died at the scene and Burch is still undergoing rehabilitation for his injuries. "Unfortunately we are here today because of a tragedy," Fallin said alongside members of the trooper's families, including retired Trooper Bruce Dees and Brandi Dees, the father and widow of Nicholas Dees, and Burch's wife Kayla. "It reminded us all how dangerous texting or using a mobile device can be while one is driving," the governor said. "But we also want to make sure that something positive comes out of this tragedy. Today, we're going to do something about that." Oklahoma is the 46th state to pass legislation banning the practice of texting while driving. Brandi Dees and other members of her family wore T-shirts at the ceremony emblazoned with the shield of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the words: "In Loving Memory OHP 731 Trooper Nick Dees." "This is a bill that we strongly believe in and one that I know my husband would
support," Brandi Dees said following the ceremonial bill signing. "Through our tragedy we're hoping to save as many lives as we can." The troopers were struck by a vehicle as they investigated an accident on Interstate 40 in Seminole County. Authorities have said the driver of the vehicle was updating his social media on a smartphone at the time of the accident. "It was just so unnecessary, so unnecessary for this to occur," Public Safety Commissioner Mike Thompson said. He said the law will be a new tool for law enforcement to use to stop the practice of texting and driving that AAA Oklahoma has described as an epidemic. "If we save one life, it's worth it," Thompson said. Fallin said that in 2013, the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office reported that drivers distracted by electronic devices were involved in 14 fatal crashes, 602 injury crashes and 1,028 non-injury crashes. The National Safety Council says texting while driving results in 330,000 injuries each year and is the cause of one out of four accidents, the governor said. The legislation makes it illegal to operate a motor vehicle while using a handheld electronic device to compose, send or read electronic messages while driving. Violations are punishable by a $100 fine. The bill makes texting and driving a primary offense, meaning Oklahoma drivers could be pulled over and ticketed for texting while driving without first having committed another traffic offense. It contains exceptions for emergency situations and does not apply to voice-activated devices in which a driver's hands would not be needed to write, send or read a text message.The measure goes into effect Nov. 1.

Driver with learners permit charged with DUI By Marione Martin A young woman stopped on a traffic violation also ended up with a misdemeanor drug charge. According to court records, on April 24 at 4:20 p.m. OHP Trooper Gunner Northcutt was working in Carmen in Alfalfa County. He was driving westbound on Vine Street and noticed a silver Oldsmobile Alero going southbound that failed to stop at a stop sign at Vine and 5th Street. Northcutt activated his emergency lights but the vehicle kept driving the same speed. After a few seconds, the vehicle turned left and stopped.
From Page 12
When Northcutt asked the driver for her license and insurance verification, she was unable to find the insurance for the vehicle. Northcutt asked the driver, Caramia Marie Nelson, to have a seat in his patrol car. Once in his patrol car, Northcutt could detect a strange odor he associated with some type of chemical. He also noticed Nelson was acting very lethargic. He talked with her about having a learner permit and not a driver’s license. Nelson was confused about why he had pulled her over. He explained she did not stop at the stop sign at 5th and Vine. He asked
Nelson the last time she had smoked marijuana. She said she had not, and that she was around cleaning supplies all day. Northcutt asked Nelson to perform some field sobriety tests. He observed she had eyelid tremors and difficulty performing several of the tests. He placed Nelson under arrest and took her to the Alfalfa County Jail. Caramia Marie Nelson, 18, Carmen, was charged with driving while under the influence of drugs, a misdemeanor. She was also issued a traffic citation for failure to stop at a stop sign.

been no regular maintenance personnel. Tackett said they are down to the last 12 or 13 days of school and about every other night will be a banquet or event. He encouraged board members and the public to support the kids. Principal Michael Meriwether gave his report next and said testing is still ongoing with some grade levels and reiterated how busy the end of the year will be with the banquets and end of year events. Three Proposed Calendars The next agenda item, vote to approve or not approve the proposed 20152016 school calendar, garnered some discussion. Three calendar proposals were presented and going against what Meriwether normally wants to do (not start the new school year on a Monday), he preferred to adopt the one that did just that. Meriwether’s preferred calendar would have school starting on August 10. He said he would just like to get as many days of school in as possible before testing. Board member Rick George motioned to approve the calendar, but another member, Clint Olson, wanted more explanation. “So you were saying you like more class days coming into the testing, which is toward the end of April and we keep moving our start date,” said Olson. “We’ve done that the last several years, but if we approve the calendar that starts on the 10th, I noticed last year starting so early, roughly a week earlier than other
schools, that hinders two-a-days.” The group discussed the matter a little more, with most members saying two-a-day practices were a thing of the past. Olson wanted a more definitive answer but tabling the proposed calendar was not an option. The group approved the calendar to start school on Monday the 10th, but said amendments would be possible down the road if need be. Next up on the agenda was to approve or not approve qualifying students and sponsor(s) to attend the FCCLA National Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C., this July. Two students were already approved to go, but last week someone dropped out of one of the events. Because he had come in second, Josiah Darr qualified. Darr and two other students, along with sponsor(s) Mrs. Darr and Mr. Westfahl, were approved to attend the conference. The board approved the use of facilities
for the Future Stars Basketball Camp to be held this May 26-29 and Shooting Camp for May 8 and 15. Also approved was to accept the dual enrollment credits including math and science taught at the Northwest Technology Center by Highly Qualified Teachers. Tackett said there are currently no students enrolled in it, but it is needed for the school’s accreditation and it will be there for the students if they want or need it. The board then went into executive session to discuss personnel decisions regarding resignations received to date, employment of the certified career classroom teachers for the 2015-2016 school year, employment of the certified temporary classroom teachers for the 2015-2016 school year, employment of Beau Westfahl as Driver’s Education Teacher for summer 2015, and employment of 2014-2015 and 20152016 summer maintenance staff.

Erratic driving leads to traffic stop, drug arrest By Marione Martin A deputy noticed a woman driving erratically in Cherokee and seemingly trying to avoid him. According to court records, Alfalfa County Deputy Sheriff Alpha Lathrom noticed the black Ford Mustang at 3:45 p.m. on April 4 in the area of the co-op and the Salt Plains Clinic. He ran the vehicle tag, initially as a Kansas tag and it returned invalid. He later learned it had an Arkansas tag. Lathrom activated his emergency lights to make a traffic stop in the area of 3rd and Oklahoma, but the driver continued east to Grand and turned north. She drove several more blocks and eventually came to a stop in the parking lot of the police station. Lathrom spoke to the driver, Brenda
Mae Dahn, and found her driver’s license to be flagged and suspended. According to the record, her license was suspended on April 15, 2015, for failure to carry security verification. As Lathrom interviewed Dahn, he observed she spoke with a thick tongue which led him to believe she was under the influence of an illegal substance. Dahn said she needed to go inside the police department because she was due in court. Lathrom told her she was not free to go and she would not be making her court appointment. Deputy Loren Nusser arrived, and Lathrom went inside to advise the police he had a defendant outside in custody and she would not be able to make it in for court. He returned to Dahn
accompanied by Cherokee Police Chief Mike Andrews. The police chief stayed with Dahn while Lathrom and Nusser searched and inventoried her vehicle prior to impoundment. They found a sunglasses case beneath the driver’s seat which contained a glass pipe and a white plastic baggie carrying a white crystalline substance. A field test revealed the substance to be methamphetamine. On April 27 in Alfalfa County, Brenda Mae Dahn, 38, Cherokee, was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance, a felony. She is also charged with two misdemeanors of driving while license is under suspension and unlawful possession of paraphernalia.
