SINGING OF APRIL SHOWERS BRINGS MAY MONSOONS – At South Barber’s Grade 7-12 Spring Concert, the Junior High Girls Ensemble dust off their umbrellas to sing about “April Showers” with a performance as cute as rain is welcomed. When Choir Director Boram Shin planned this song she and the girls probably had no idea they would actually need their umbrellas after the long drought. The Kiowa area received approximately 14 inches of rain the last month and a half. Some of the ensemble members shown performing are Ellie McCullough, Taylor Pollock, Makenzie Watts, Haylie Drake and Mercedes Rogge. Photo by Yvonne Miller

Alva City Council tells Integris their clinic is out of compliance

By Marione Martin Nearly all the visitor seats were filled for the Alva City Council meeting Monday evening. Most were there to hear what the council decided about how a city ordinance pertains to a proposed Integris Health Clinic.

There had been some talk in the community about Integris opening a clinic. In mid-April ads were published in the local paper seeking office staff for the clinic. It was to be located in offices formerly occupied

by Dr. Greg Pinegar.

In response to concerns voiced

to him, on April 27 Alva Business Manager Joe Don Dunham wrote to Catherine Gann, director of foundation and business development, for Integris in Enid. He referred to sections of Ordinance No. 2014-046 (which became effective in November 2014) that require new hospitals and healthcare centers or facilities to apply for a permit with a filing fee of five percent of the capital cost of the facility.

“Please provide written explanation why your proposed Healthcare Center or Facility is exempt from this ordinance or how

your facility is going to comply with City of Alva Ordinance 2014-046,” the letter states.

Dunham told the council, “I have not had any kind of response back from them.”

Councilmember Wes Miller asked City Attorney Rick Cunningham if he had reviewed the information. “We haven’t received any information from Integris at this stage,” said Cunningham. “I asked Joe Don to make that request. We do not have a response.”

Cunningham said based on what the city knows at this time it appears the clinic “falls under the ordinance.”

He said the ordinance would require Integris to make their application and do a feasibility study.

“It would appear that the city should proceed to notify them they are either in violation or potential violation of the ordinance, and they need to comply,” he said.

Miller asked how the city would do that, and Cunningham recommended a written notification.

Councilmember Bo Hannaford asked if the city could put a time frame on the response. Miller asked what a reasonable time frame would be.

“They’ve had a written request for just general information that they’ve not responded to,” said Cunningham, “but I would think 15 to 30 days for a response.”

He pointed out that if Integris tried to open their clinic, enforcement of the ordinance is the responsibility

South Barber Superintendent Brad Morris resigns

By Yvonne Miller Last Wednesday morning at 7:15, just a day after the regular May meeting of the South Barber Board of Education Monday night, the board held a special meeting.

The meeting was called to accept the resignation of Superintendent Brad Morris, effective June 30. He was a teacher and coach at USD 255 since 2005 and was officially hired as superintendent in January 2009. He was mentored for the position under then-Superintendent Bob Hightree who then retired in the summer of 2009 and served as a consultant to the district on an as-needed basis for a while.

Morris told the Newsgram he accepted the position of assistant superintendent at Wellington Schools beginning for the 201516 school year.

The other agenda item was the board’s discussion and development of a plan to hire a new superintendent. Morris said the board might want to use the Kansas Association of School Boards (KASB). He said the cost would be $3,750 plus mileage.

KASB would meet with the board and get the characteristics they seek in a superintendent. KASB would interview and screen candidates for the board.

All current board members attended the meeting, including Dana Roark, Mark Pollock, Mike Anderson, Steve Allen, Jeff Black, Deb Helfrich and Dooli Rugg. Mor-

ris sat at the board table as did Board Clerk Julie Johnson.

Helfrich favored using KASB and said, “It took us six months to search for a superintendent last time. I think we need help – especially since we don’t have time like we did the last time.”

Board President Allen said, “We have people in the area who are retired who would serve as interim.”

There is a KSDE website that has teacher and administration openings. Morris said, “You need to open the (superintendent) position today. There are people out there looking.”

After discussion, Allen said, “We seem to have a consensus that we don’t want to spend the extra money with KASB.” Allen recommended a two-week deadline for potential candidates to respond by

May 29. The board agreed to also look at a comparable website for Oklahoma administrators seeking positions. The board asked Morris to make a list of their goals for the next superintendent to use as a map for the direction of USD 255.

Allen said he would like to have board members have a Top Five list to review at the June 8 meeting.

Helfrich called for a five minute executive session to discuss non-elected personnel before adjournment.

Newly elected board members Mariah Doherty and Melissa Simpson attended the Monday night meeting and Doherty also attended Wednesday morning to observe. The school board terms of these two women do not begin until July 1, so unfortunately they will not be in on this first part of the search process for a new superintendent.

We would like to say thank you to everyone who helped care for our loved one. Also thanks to all who sent a card, called with a kind word, sent food, a monetary donation, or a floral arrangement or donated your time to help us through the time of her passing. We all feel truly blessed to have wonderful friends and family like you. Your expressions of sympathy were greatly appreciated and will never be forgotten The Family of LaVona Budy

Miss Oklahoma tells BHS grads, ‘Life from here out is up to you’

By Yvonne Miller “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened,” Miss Oklahoma Alex Eppler told the 10 seniors graduating at Burlington High School Thursday evening.

The tall, elegant, brunette beauty quickly dispelled any preconceived notions about her when she said, “I shop at WalMart, wear sweats, watch Netflix and eat donuts!”

Superintendent Glenn Elliott introduced Eppler, a graduate of the University of Oklahoma who was awarded Outstanding Senior in 2012 as a member of the Arts and Sciences College. Upon graduation she taught a variety of science classes at The

Academy in Oklahoma City.

Crowned Miss Oklahoma in June 2014, Eppler was named a Top 10 Finalist to Miss America 2015 in September. In the talent portion she competed with dance and won a Preliminary Swimsuit Award. Also selected as a Quality of Life Semi-Finalist, Eppler won over $48,000 cash scholarships in the Miss America system.

Eppler’s platform, “her heart and mission,” as Miss Oklahoma is Dare 2 Care: Random Acts of Kindness. She’s spoken to over 28,000 individuals across the state to spread the message of the power and impact that kindness can have on others.

With a degree in medical science and a

minor in health and exercise science, Eppler plans to become a physician’s assistant following her reign as Miss Oklahoma.

Eppler told the Burlington commencement crowd that as a kid she was called a nerd because she was too tall and liked science.

She urged the graduates to adopt her “NERD code.” Never give up; Encourage; Respect; Do your best.

Elaborating on the acronym, Eppler said she was told she would “never” be Miss Oklahoma, or “never” get in to medical school. She challenged the graduates to love people as part of encouragement. She said to respect every person.

Eppler said she worked four jobs to get through college. One of those was packing CDs. “I was the best CD packer,” Miss Oklahoma said. “Do everything to the best of your ability.”

She told the graduates, “Get ready.

Life from here on out is up to you.” Eppler used two types of bricks to make her point.

Strong red bricks or gray crumbling bricks.

“Which kind (of brick) do you want to lay?” Eppler asked the graduates. She

The Timberlake Elementary gifted and talented students celebrated a successful inaugural year with a lunch party on Thursday, May 14.

They had met each Monday since November as an after-school program. During the year they worked on several projects. The biggest one was a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation describing their interests, likes, dislikes and goals in life. They were each given a DVD with everyone’s presentation on it during the lunch party.

The students also made a Prezi presentation researching a subject of their choice. They studied number systems, emphasizing binary code.

They learned how binary is used in computers as translated into ASCII code. They also dabbled in ASCII art and HTML. A special celebration with a pizza 菟ie was held the Monday before spring break, which was a few days before a historical Pi Day that occurs only once per hundred years. The actual Pi Day happened on March 14.

Students were helpful in putting together a multimedia presentation for Timberlake Elementary’s morning assembly by researching old yearbooks from Helena-Goltry, Jet-Nash, and Timberlake. They found pictures of relatives and faculty members to create a history of the school for the assembly. The students also took an after school trip to the Jet Museum to further learn about the school and community’s past.

The Timberlake Elementary gifted and talented students are comprised of fourth, fifth and sixth graders. They are under the direction of Angie Amundson.

Electricity options, Lion’s Club brick walk project, drainage issues and much more Kiowa City Council Cleo Springs Fire & covers full agenda Rescue would like

By Yvonne Miller “Our costs are going up if we don’t do to thank all who something,” Kiowa City Administrator Law told the council at their donated and made our Nathan regular May meeting.

Prior to the regular 8 p.m. council pig roast a success! meeting last Monday, at 7 p.m. the council

heard from Greg Wright, a consultant the city hired from Energy Management Group in Topeka. He’s advising the council on their options. Those options are staying with the current supplier, Alfalfa Electric Cooperative (AEC) through their supplier Western Farmers who will charge higher rates, or joining a Kansas Pool, often with

a long-term commitment. There’s good and bad with both options.

Kiowa’s contract with Western Farmers (WF) expired and is in a renewal time period, Law explained. He said WF is unbundling to show the individual costs of bringing electricity.

Ultimately Law said this could mean an approximately six percent increase in cost to the city if they continue with WF. In turn that would be passed on to the consumer.

That’s why the council seeks the best options for residents and businesses.

AEC’s contract with Kiowa doesn’t expire until 2019. Law said both parties (the city and AEC) will negotiate an agreement based on WF’s actions.

The electricity option conversation continued about 40 minutes into the regular meeting time. Wright will continue researching options for Kiowa and bring them back to the council.

This May meeting was when newly elected council members took their seats.

Council members Russell Molz and Bill Watson, who won reelection again, took the oath of office. Brian Hill, who served one term and then stepped down, was reelected this spring and also took the oath.

Two-term council member Mark Lambert was thanked for his service as he steps down since he had served the

maximum terms for now.

All council members attended the meeting called to order by Mayor Brandon Farney, including Watson, R.L. Simpson, Hill, Tom Wells and Molz. Administrator Law, City Clerk Marlo Rugg and City Attorney Laurel McClellan also sat at the table.

Annual Appointments Mayor Farney made annual appointments approved by the council: Municipal Judge – Jon Von Achern, Chief of Police – Steven Johnson, City Clerk – Marlo Rugg, Prosecuting Attorney – Laurel McClellan, Treasurer – Rex Zimmerman.

Lion’s Club Memorial Brick Sidewalk Sadly, Kiowa’s Lion’s Club disbanded May 6 after 83 years of service in the community. Law said members want to construct a memorial concrete sidewalk in Progress Park as their final project. The sidewalk would begin at the intersection of Ninth and Coates and proceed into park through the gateway. .

The memorial bricks are available for anyone to purchase for $25. There are three lines that will hold 13 characters per line.

Watson said the Masons will take over supporting the scouts. Any money remaining from the Lion’s Club will go the the Boy Scouts.

Other City of Kiowa Business City insurance premiums decreased by $859 this year, due mainly to lower worker’s compensation claims. Cost of insurance this year is $54,379, which the council approved. This is for property, liability, auto, worker’s comp, etc.

Regarding a public Fourth of July celebration in Kiowa, if a fireworks display were to be held at Ellis Field, the council agreed that $500,000 event liability

insurance would be required as they did last year.

The Freedom Gates Boys Ranch at Hazelton is having a fundraiser at the community building July 12. The council is donating use of the building.

City surplus vehicles were sold at the meeting to those who had submitted bids earlier. Those individuals had the right to increase their bid at the meeting.

The buyers were Daniel Countryman and Garry Countryman, who purchased a total of three vehicles.

Fifteen of the city’s electric poles will be replaced at the discretion of Jason Cloyd. The average cost is $2,000 per pole and will be paid from the electric fund.

The council approved the purchase of a John Deere 2930M lawnmower with a bagger from Prairieland Partners in Anthony at a cost of $8,287.44. Watson voted no.

The purchase of new dumpsters, as recommended by city superintendent Gary Johnson, received council approval.

Doris Herman said she is unable to continue cleaning the community building.

The council directed Law to find a replacement. The council thanked Herman for her years of service.

Law prepared an in-depth video of the multitude of storm ditch issues in Kiowa that was watched at the meeting. There’s standing water, erosion, silt and other problems.

Gary Johnson designed attractive new decals to go on city vehicles.

The council agreed to let a backpack food for students project be housed in the community building this summer from June 1 to Aug. 1. This was at the request of Gayle McNett who is in charge of this Faith in Action project.

indicated there was some dysfunction in her family and said, “I saw some of the people who came to my house.” She’s spoken publicly on drug/alcohol abuse in an attempt to help keep those bricks from crumbling.

“My parents always said `I am proud of you’,” which she said is so important. “You are loved and have a purpose,” Eppler told graduates. “Find your gift – use it and give it away.”

Recalling her time as a science teacher, Eppler told students, “Say thank you to your teachers. It’s a thankless job.”

She advised that “people with a grateful heart get rewards.”

“When I arrived tonight (before commencement), I saw a close-knit group that loves and cares for each other,” Eppler said. “Throw your hats as high as you can tonight!”

Valedictorian and Salutatorian Speak Wearing purple robes, the graduates processed gingerly down the aisle of the

auditorium, each carrying a daylily, the class flower, tied with their class colors of turquoise and black. Graduate Keyra Clark played the flute as her classmates sang “Flying Free” to open commencement after a prayer from Class President Daniel Ross.

Also salutatorian, Ross stood at the podium to give his address and said, “Hallelujah!” He thanked everyone from teachers, administrators to the entire community for their support of their class for “countless years of concession stands” and more.

Ross said the Class of 2015 experienced obstacles and great opportunities. He urged his classmates to go with courage and conviction into the future. Nevertheless, the graduates will probably always remember their class motto, “Who says we have to grow up?” a quote by Walt Disney.

“May God bless you all,” Ross said in conclusion.

Valedictorian Kyle Ellerbeck thanked everyone including the “supporting community” and “the teachers for pushing us.”

Ellerbeck shared the longtime piece of advice, “If you don’t at first succeed, try, try again.”

He advised underclassmen to realize, “High school is a very short time of your life.” The valedictorian also emphasized to them “Google is your friend.”

As he introduced the graduates and had them turn their tassels, Superintendent Elliott described this class as having “exceptional students” who competed at state in many activities. He said to the BHS Class of 2015, “The teachers gave you the tools and your parents gave you a gift.”

New safe room for Aline-Cleo Elementary School More than 80 Aline-Cleo Elementary School students, grades pre-K through six, gathered in the school’s gymnasium to celebrate its new safe room. Oklahoma City’s News 9 storm tracker Marty Logan gave a severe weather safety presentation to students as part of the assembly.

Logan, a retired lieutenant from the Woodward Fire Department, has been tracking storms for News 9 for more than 20 years. He instructed students about safety related to floods, lightning, tornadoes and shelter and quickly gathered their attention talking about the previous night’s storms.

The shelter was delivered to the school in mid-March.

In early April, voters in the Aline-Cleo Public Schools District approved a bond issue that will help fund an additional safe room to provide a safe place for every student, teacher and staff person.

Superintendent Barry Nault said the additional shelter will be in place before the start of the next school year.

From Page 6

“There has been much talk about having safe rooms available in as many schools as possible, but the challenge is, as always, the cost in an environment where budgets are being stretched already.

We organized a committee to identify

communities in the operating areas of many GPA member plants/operations that met our list of criteria, which is how we chose Aline-Cleo. We are incredibly pleased to make this shelter a reality for the students and teachers.”

of the city. “What we’re trying to avoid is taking any action that would require an injunction or something of that nature,” he said.

Councilmember Bryce Benson asked if Cunningham needed any direction from the council.

Cunningham said he thought the business manager should be the one to address the issue. “We’re not looking at legal proceedings at this stage,” he said.

Miller asked if a motion would be needed, and since the agenda

called for discussion and action, Cunningham recommended a motion. Mayor Kelly Parker asked for a motion, but council members seemed to be mulling over how to word it.

Eventually Hannaford said, “I make a motion to charge our business manager to send a letter to receive proper information and application from Integris Health Clinic in compliance with our Ordinance 2014-046.” Miller seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

Steve Valencia was the only council member not in attendance.

Most of the crowd, including four or five representatives of Integris and several from Alva’s Share Medical Center, stayed for the remainder of the city council meeting, including two executive sessions which kicked everyone out into the lobby.

Just before the meeting concluded, Mayor Parker announced the usual time for remarks from the public limited to two minutes. Not one audience member spoke.
