Lynn Says

Texting and driving law appropriate

By Lynn L. Martin I, for one, hate it when the government feels like it should be our nanny and intrudes on our free will. Unfortunately, most of the nanny laws imposed upon us save lives ... usually the lives of of totally innocent people.

Here’s a quote from a news release we received a couple of months ago: “Oklahoma State Trooper Nicholas Dees was killed on January 31, 2015, by a man who is

believed to have been updating social media on his phone while driving. His partner, Trooper Keith Burch, was severely injured from the accident and is still in recovery. The fact of the matter is, Trooper Dees is one of 3,000 people in the U.S. who are expected to die this year in a distracted-driving-related accident.”

If you do the math, 3000 text/driving deaths per year is almost ten per day. Often, the victim is not the one distracting themselves by texting, but rather their death was caused by someone who drifted over into a lane of oncoming traffic while distracted.

Of course, the causes of distracted

driving accidents have been with us for years. From rambunctious kids fighting in the back seat or dropping an ice-laden soft drink in one’s lap, or a husband-wife argument, these have all contributed to the accidental deaths of others.

Even though the “no texting while driving” law doesn’t go into effect until November, we all might as well start observing it now.

There are some neat apps at the Apple and Android software sites that will cause your phone to automatically respond to an incoming message with, “I don’t text while driving. I’ll get back to you later.”

Good idea.

Kiowa hospital finances in the black, to sell old hospital building for $1

By Yvonne Miller The regular May meeting of the Kiowa Hospital Board was a fresh start with two new board members at the table and the decision to sell the old hospital building at 810 Drumm St. for $1.

Kiowa men Pat Myers (previous board member filling one-year unexpired term of Lori Schrock) and Jeff Miller (newly elected to fill open term previously held by Zack Odell, who moved) took their seats on the board along with current board members Brenna May, Jim Parker and Chantae Simpson. Board members elected Myers as chairman, May as vice-chairperson, Simpson as treasurer and Parker as secretary; Miller is member-at-large.

Others present included hospital CEO Margaret Grismer, CFO Janell Goodno, physician assistant Melissa Stroh, manor Administrator Kim Balding, Director of Nurses (DON) Heidi Courson, foundation President Judy Schrock and several members of the public.

Following a one hour and 20 minute executive session at the end of the meeting, the board returned to open session.

They approved the quality assurance report for the hospital and risk management report for the manor.

Board members then approved a resolution that determined the property at 810 Drumm St. (the old hospital property) is obsolete, nonproductive and otherwise unusable.

The hospital will publish required legal notification in the newspaper to show their intent to dispose of the property in as-is condition. For the purchase price of $1, there is a private sale to Project Pink Inc., a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization. This sale is projected for around June 15.

Project Pink is a positive living program for pregnant women. Miranda Allen is heading the program. The mission of Project Pink is for all women to obtain the necessary life skills to be self-sufficient, live independently and be a productive citizen. This positive living project is designed to promote self-sufficiency and individual responsibility while encouraging the pursuit of healthy, optimistic lifestyles. This project will be housed in the old hospital facility. Watch the Newsgram for a more detailed story on Project Pink.

The hospital board lists numerous facts about disposing of the property they said are best for the hospital district and residents. Those are:

• Attempts to sell the vacant property have been unsuccessful.

• The district will no longer be responsible for the ongoing cost of maintaining or insuring the property.

• The purchases will utilize the property in a manner supportive of the community and health care.

• Services to be provided by the purchaser might not be available within the community otherwise.

Hospital Statistics and Financials In April, total hospital admissions were nine. Total acute and swingbed days were 43. Total outpatient visits were 574. Clinic visits totaled 398.

The hospital had total gross patient revenue of $283,174 and contractural adjustments of a negative $45,447. That made net patient revenue of $237,727.

Operating expenses were $389,773, which made a loss of $146,985. The addition of $95,333 tax revenue, $106,542 from the hospital and manor foundation and other miscellaneous income curbed the hospital’s loss to $40,443 for April.

Year to date, the hospital is in the black $441,498.

A rain-delayed harvest, test weights and yields are all over the place Crop deemed ‘average’ by elevator operators thus far

By Yvonne Miller On a call to the Dacoma Co-op Monday afternoon to ask manager Doug Locke what’s happening with harvest there, he answered, “Absolutely nothing.

The rain has messed us up.”

That statement is unfortunately true for the entire Newsgram reading area in northwest Oklahoma and south central Kansas. In some areas cutting had just started for two or three days only to be stopped with more rain last week.

Custom harvesters sat idle all weekend and Monday. Some areas reported another three inches of rain.

Hopefully by the time this story is printed in the Newsgram and delivered Wednesday, the fields will be dry enough for combines to roll and cut that wheat that’s been through severe drought, some frost, and welcomed rains that need to stop temporarily for cutting. The weather forecast calls for a

chance of rain most of the week.

Before the rain last week, Locke said the Dacoma area had “three decent days” of cutting. “We cut a little, but not much. We saw a little of everything.

Test weights were from the low 50s to 61 (pounds per bushel).” Locke said so little was cut, that they didn’t yet have accurate yields.

Locke said “it remains to be seen” what the wheat that is standing – or in some cases lying – in the wheat fields will produce.

“Everything is a timing issue,” Locke said.

Robbie Newman on Burlington Area Burlington Co-op General Manager Robbie Newman said that area saw three days of cutting last week. Test weights ranged from the mid 50s to 60s.

He said they saw a few yields “over 40” bushels/acre.

Newman said quite a bit of wheat in the Burlington area still had some green in it when the nearly three inches of rain came. “If the quality can come up with some of the varieties that were still green – we’re hopeful,” he said.

“I bet they try (to cut) tomorrow (Tuesday), depending on if it rains tonight,” Newman said.

Steve Inslee on Kiowa Area O.K. Grain in Kiowa, Kansas, covers the Hardtner and Hazelton area also. Steve Inslee, general manager of that cooperative, said they took in a small amount of wheat before the rain halted cutting.

Inslee said test weights ranged from 52 to 61. He couldn’t yet provide any solid numbers regarding yields because of the small amount of wheat cut thus far. He guesstimates the bushels/acre yield was “in the lower 30s” at this point.

“If it doesn’t rain, and the wind blows and the sun shines, we’ll be cutting Tuesday,” Inslee said. “I saw harvesters with (mud) tracks so they’ll be trying it.”

Shane Parker on Cherokee Area Cherokee Co-op General Manager Shane Parker said their elevators had taken in 125,000 bushels of grain before the rain. “Test weights were all

over the place from 44 (pounds/bushel) to 62. The average is 56-57, which is not the best, but it’s okay,” Parker said.

Parker said yields on the real light wheat (low test weight) were in the low teens. “But we had some at 40 bushels,” he said happily. “Right now the average yield is about 30. We would take that.”

Late Monday afternoon Parker said they had just had some wheat samples come in with a moisture content of 11 and 13.8. Those samples were a go because the moisture content cannot exceed 14.

“We’ve had just showers. We’re going to cut this evening,” Parker said.

“We haven’t even got 10 percent of the wheat cut.”

Jake Kelln on Alva Area Jake Kelln, general manager of Wheeler Brothers Grain in Alva, said they started getting trucks of wheat last Thursday and are “nearly 20 percent cut out so far.”

“We’ve seen test weights from 47 to 62.8 (pounds per bushel),” Kelln said and added, “We’ve lost a half point since the last rain.” He said bushels/ acre yields have ranged from “12 to 63.” “Most fields are averaging in the low 30s,” he said.

“The rust got us. It’s the heaviest factor right now,” Kelln said. He said fields treated with fungicide had a two to four pound higher test weight and it made a 17 to 30 bushel/acre difference in a field. “It was worth it this year,” he said of putting more money into the crop. But he said it is “a hard sell” to farmers looking at $5 wheat.

On Monday evening about 6 p.m., Wheeler Brothers cranked up again with a few customers cutting near Camp Houston where they had received only two to three tenths of an inch of rain. Kelln said their four-wheel drive machines were making it fine through the fields. The moisture tested 12.7. The test weight was 56-57.

“This crop has had everything thrown at it – drought, bugs, insects, army worms, spider mites, freeze,” Kelln said. “This harvest is going to be average, but the dockage is higher and test weights are lower.”

Project Pink to be housed in former Kiowa hospital building

Providing a loving, life-affirming home for pregnant women; Helping women rebuild their lives and gain life skills

By Yvonne Miller Monday had to be like a dream

come true for Miranda Allen as she officially accepted a home for her brainchild Project Pink. Within a year, the former Kiowa Hospital building on Drumm Street in Kiowa, Kansas, will provide a home for pregnant women and help them rebuild their lives while working and gaining life skills.

A cancer survivor, Allen said the color pink represents strength to her.

“It reminds me to always keep the faith, stay positive and keep fighting,” Allen said. “This is why Project Pink spoke to me, as I want all the women in the project to have these traits. I want each of them to know we are in their corner and here to help them fight for success.”

Monday evening the Kiowa District Hospital board and administration presented the deed to the former hospital building to Project Pink for $1.

Allen has organized Project Pink with Vice-Chair Brenda Myers and Gary Jacobs as secretary/treasurer.

She seeks volunteers to serve on subcommittees and assist in a variety of ways from helping prepare and furnish rooms to offering special expertise, such as mentoring one of the young women.

Project Pink already has a nonprofit 501(c)(3) status. Allen said she has received private donations from mostly out-of-town sources at this time. She took out a $15,000 loan to get started. She said it will take at

Watson reelected board president

Law told the council it will cost about $10,000 per year for chemicals and equipment necessary to spray the town.

Law noted there would also be around $6,700 in overtime for the spraying season of May to October. Councilmember Tom Wells said, “We have more (residents) for spraying than against.”

The council voted unanimously to have Law make the purchase and the city begin spraying.

Bill Watson Council President All members attended the meeting, including Bill Watson, R.L. Simpson, Russel Molz, Tom Wells and Brian Hill. Mayor Brandon Farney conducted the meeting with City Clerk Marlo Rugg, City Attorney Laurel McClellan and Administrator Nathan Law at the table.

The council voted 4-0 to re-elect Watson as council president. In the absence of Mayor Farney, Watson will conduct the meetings.

City Code Discussed Law said CityCode Financial has provided the city an online link and some paper copies of the city’s draft code for review. The city contracts this company to revise city codes.

The administrator noted items council members should consider to put in the city code book: • Possibly changing the meeting quorum from four to three. The council agreed not to change the quorum.

• McClellan suggests the council switch from the existing rules of order to “Code of Procedure for Kansas Cities.” This section discusses

meetings, meeting order, voting, etc.

• One item clarifies full terms of councilmen and filling vacancies.

• The police and attorney request a public offense section that would carry specific penalties and city fines.

• The city attorney recommended court costs be set by regular ordinance rather than charter ordinance to simplify.

Sidewalk Replacement Program Last month council discussed a project that allows residents to request sidewalk replacement or installation.

Residents could pay the cost of the project involving their sidewalk by having it assessed against their property for multiple years.

Law researched and presented information on the sidewalk project for the council. There are multiple things to consider such as location, specifications, whether it’s an approach for a driveway or an alley or street, etc. Law will create a request form for residents regarding sidewalks. The council will approve the form before it’s ready for the public.

Administrator Opposes HB 2109 Administrator Law explained his opposition to HB 2109 to the council.

He showed letters of opposition he sent to numerous legislators regarding the house bill.

A portion of the HB 2109 tax package included the shifting of motor vehicle taxes to schools and away from local governments, Law

Kiowa City Council approves fogging for mosquitoes

By Yvonne Miller As the June Kiowa City Council began last Monday evening, several residents addressed the council about mosquitoes buzzing everywhere.

One man described the mosquito bites on his grandson as half-dollar size. A woman told how very allergic she and others are to the annoying and dangerous insects that leave scars on people from their bites.

Several mentioned they cannot even enjoy baseball games because of the swarms of mosquitoes.

Referring to “the halos of mosquitoes around kid’s heads” at the ball diamond, people complained the kids were swatting at mosquitoes more than playing baseball.

After a discussion, council members agreed just putting tablets in standing water to kill mosquito larvae as they decided at an earlier meeting is not sufficient. City Administrator Nathan

said. “This is an attempt to fund the court-ruled inadequacies for schools, but instead of new revenue the state is opting to rob cities to pay for education,” Law said. At this meeting, it was still unknown what the State of Kansas budget would include.

Sewer Lagoon McClellan is doing the legal work in preparation of reshaping the city’s sewer lagoon ditch. This involves swapping ground with landowners so the city’s lagoons can be properly maintained.

The estimate for reshaping the lagoon once the new property is obtained and purchasing rip-rap and erosion-control materials is $37,275, according to Law. Law Comments on Several Subjects One of the air conditioning/heating units went out at the library. To replace the unit in a timely manner, Law reimbursed them $2,000, which is his spending authority limit. The council tabled further action until they find out if their insurance will cover the air conditioning/heating unit.

The Turner Youth Foundation donated $4,500 for swimming-poolrelated improvements.

Nicole Perez is now cleaning the Kiowa Community Building as of June 1.

City employee Nathan Lambert passed his sewer certification exam

and should receive a 50 cent pay increase as per his hiring agreement.

Electric pole crews are changing out poles as directed by Jason Cloyd.

Law said the senior citizen parking lot and fence project is underway.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas, Inc., has filed intent to increase rates by more than 10 percent with the Kansas Insurance Department. Law said the currently proposed premium increase is 39 percent. Law said at this point his only option is to include a large increase for the 2016 draft budget. He will also research other plan options for the 2016-17 insurance year.

Besides donations of time and money, Allen said they’ll need furniture, beds, bedding – all types of things. This project relies heavily on volunteerism. They will transform the former nurses’ lounge into a kitchen and the former lobby and chapel area into a living room. She said if someone has a can of paint and likes to paint, they’re invited to come and do a room.

“Every room doesn’t need to be the same color,” she said. She wants the facility to have a transitional living feel

to it, kind of like a dormitory – nothing fancy. Mothers can stay at the facility about two years if they are following the requirements of the program.

She said expectant mothers will be referred to Project Pink through the National Maternity Coalition.

No mothers will be allowed who are running from an abusive situation, Allen explained, as this facility is not equipped to handle that. Nor is this a treatment facility for women with addiction problems. It is run by mainly volunteers. Allen said this is likely a safer environment than from which they came.

To be in the program women must work and are required to pay 30 to 35 percent rent. Project Pink will offer entry level positions in a communitybased business. Women are encouraged to get a job in the community. Project Pink will most likely get a minivan to transport the women to obstetric doctors’ appointments in Pratt or Wichita, Allen said.

A goal of Project Pink is to break the cycle of dependency. The pregnant women staying at Project Pink are required to work, volunteer, pay bills and build a relationship with their higher power. They’ll have household duties during their stay. They’ll be teamed with mentors to focus on varying topics from budgeting, spirituality, domestic skills, communication and self-esteem.

Allen estimates it will be nine to

12 months before the facility will be ready to accept the mothers-to-be.

She has an interesting perspective of mothers who give their children up for adoption. It is through adoption that she and her husband Steven have their four beautiful children. Through the adoption process she’s seen both good and bad for the mothers. She designed Project Pink to help unsupported pregnant women feel loved and learn skills and more to help themselves.

“I feel God has called me to this mission,” Allen said. “So for the past 18 months, God has been saying to me, ‘This is what I want you to do.

I want you to help other women that don’t know my love and don’t have support to be successful.’”

Allen said, “The goal is to model to participants what a supportive, loving environment is and provide them with the skills necessary to go out into the world and be successful.”

Project Pink offers women a place to call home, an opportunity to rebuild lives and hope for the future.

“Our positive living project is designed to promote self-sufficiency and individual responsibility while encouraging the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.”

She said the former hospital building is large enough that the west end will be available to rent for office space. Currently a local group, Faith in Action, houses food there for summer distribution to children.

DON Courson reported the hospital had its return survey and passed everything with no deficiencies. She said they have a full nursing staff at the hospital and manor, which is about the first time in 10 years. Grismer complimented Courson for her hard work. Via Christi supplied their latest policies on strokes, Courson said.

Manor Financials Presenting manor financials, Goodno told the board members the hospital generally transfers $15,000 - $20,000 per month to the manor.

In April, the manor had $99,464 total resident care revenue. With contractual adjustments, the net patient revenue was $98,518.

Manor expenses were $121,029 to make a loss from operations of $18,764.

The addition of $5,075 mainly tax revenue made the loss $13,689. Year to date, the manor lost $101,812. That’s an improvement over the same time last year when the loss was $146,176.

The combined balance sheets for the hospital and manor show at the end of April the district was in the black by $339,687. At that point, $280,000 is due from Medicare and uncollected taxes total $471,468. Total cash on hand at both facilities was $145,930.

Net patient accounts receivable were $520,264.

Administrator Balding said the manor census is 19. There are about 70 volunteers who’ve helped with the manor’s revitalization program, she

said. This revitalization program goes well with PEAK 2.0, a government incentive program that rewards changes at a facility to support person-centered care. Balding said residents enjoyed their annual fishing trip.

Grismer said they hired five new employees for the manor. One is a cook with 25 years experience from Medicine Lodge. The other is a social worker, Sara Swain, who will work within the entire hospital district.

Other Kiowa Hospital Board Business The new hospital lawn was discussed at length. They have a large erosion problem and the board is working for a solution with more seeding of grass. Board members discussed a mowing contract versus purchasing a mower and having hospital employees mow. They decided in favor of a mowing contract. They were researching further before making a decision.

The board held a brief special meeting by phone Tuesday afternoon to discuss mowing bids. They accepted the low bid from Shawn Hicks of Harper, Kansas. His bid was $400 for 12 man hours (this includes the hospital and their other properties.) At the recommendation of board member Myers, Hicks already mowed the hospital grounds as they were in dire need of mowing. Grismer said everyone was impressed with his good work and efficiency.

Regarding the pharmacy in-house

contract that’s in transition, Grismer said pharmacist John Hagood agreed to stay on temporarily as pharmacist-in-charge – at least until the district can get an Omnicell medication dispensing machine. Grismer said the Kiowa and Medicine Lodge hospitals and some others are in the same boat searching for a pharmacy service.

The need to take care of a radiology injector agreement was on the agenda.

By phone, Radiology Director Dooli Rugg told the board the injector (used for putting dye into a patient for contrast during a test) had a one-year warranty that has now expired. There was some confusion as to why the injector was not covered with some of the new equipment and why it was separate. The board agreed to approve a three-year service agreement not to exceed $4,432 per year.

The board approved membership in the Kansas Alliance for Sustainable Heath LLC. It is affiliated with the Wheat Plains Healthcare Network, of which Kiowa District Hospital (KDH) is now a member. This is through Via Christi. KDH is one of 10 Kansas hospital that are members.

The alliance is there to serve the members. There is no fee or obligation for membership. Through the alliance, hospitals can get services such as credentialing, pharmacy or psychiatry.

The next regular meeting of the KDH board is Thursday, June 25, in the clinic lobby at 7 p.m.
