Lynn Says
Inundated by corrupt emails By Lynn L. Martin For the last couple of weeks, Marione and I have both noticed a lot of dishonest emails coming to our accounts. Most people have now figured out that some rich guy in Nigeria didn't really leave an umpteen million bequest, so they don't fall for that one anymore. Here's one that came this Tuesday morning: Your Winning Ref No Is MRY/49293MY 6/22/2015 10:13 PM western=union@wumt.org “Your transaction of $1,500,000.00 has been approved by UNITED NATIONS (UN) in the on going poverty alleviation program 2015, And Western Union have been instructed to start sending you 7,600.00 USD daily. Please Send your receiving details to Mrs Joan Aziz at wumts@qq.com to file for claims. “SPECIAL NOTICE : All E-mail response should be sent to (wumts@qq.com) for confirmation and payment approval Or dial +601-6245-3284 for more information on this program. “Yours truly Varitis Anna For Western Union” Unpaid Toll Road Notices This one was sent to Marione: “Notice to Appear. You have not paid for driving on a toll road. You are kindly asked to pay your debt as soon as possible. The copy of the invoice is attached to this email. Sincerely, Kyle Morton, E-Z Pass Manager.” What's wrong with this? First, Marione hasn't driven on any toll road forever. Sec-

ond, how did the E-Z Pass people get her email address since she has never signed up for an E-Z Pass. Finally, the attached letter was in compressed .zip format, which can hide all sorts of evil programs. Marione has received this E-Z Pass fake many times. Each occurrence of the email is signed by a different name: Bill Gregory or Walter Dickson or Jessie Stephenson or Kyle Morton. Order to Appear in Court The next, was to me: “Notice of appearance in Court #0000442692 This is to inform you to appear in the Court on the June 27 for your case hearing. You are kindly asked to prepare and bring the documents relating to the case to Court on the specified date. Note: If you do not come, the case will be heard in your absence. “The copy of Court Notice is attached to this email. “Regards, Oscar Pratt, District Clerk.” What's wrong with this? I happen to know the name of the district clerk and it is not Oscar Pratt. I did not open the “Court Notice” attached to the email because it was in the problematic .zip format. Finally, any notices I've ever received to appear in court have been handed to me by a police office or court process server in person. They don't do it by email. Non-American Style Writing It is interesting that the authors of these fake notices have figured out a few things about USA language customs, but not everything. They no longer use Arabic names like Abdullah Bakr or Mohammed Munir. However, the fakers still use words not often used in legitimate American business correspondence. In one E-Z Pass email the phrase “Please do not forget to service your debt” doesn't sound much like an Oklahoma bill collector to me. Another word they can't resist using is “kindly.” That word is nearly always used in the fake emails. For example, “You are kindly asked to prepare and bring the documents ….” Both Marione and I have been receiving emails from “recent college graduates” who just love our web sites and want to come to work for us. Web Site Graduates Wanting Job Here's an example. I've received about
five in a row from different “students.” “Hi there! I noticed your website today Thu, 18 Jun 2015 and found it very interesting. I was hoping there was any possibility of internship or unpaid trial period, just to prove my competence. “As you will see in my attached CV, I am very qualified and have a very large experience in this field of work. I am very confident it will be worth your time reading it, and I am even more confident you will find me very fitting in your corporation. “Please see my attached CV. “I am very much looking forward to hearing from you. “Yours faithfully, “Dan Bernard” Fake Fed-Ex Delivery Notices Finally, about every three days I get a fake email purportedly from Fed-Ex: “Shipment delivery problem #0000492110 “Email from FedEx Standard Overnight: Shipment delivery problem #0000492110 2:26 PM “FedEx Standard Overnight “Dear Customer, “We could not deliver your item. “You can review complete details of your order in the file attached. “Warm regards, “Floyd Middleton, “FedEx Station Agent” Here's a Money Transfer Scam Email from jenniferw@georgejfalter. com: 269AWX8DUMW 6/18/2015 5:56 AM 1 attachment 16RFNT.doc (117 KB) “Greetings. I am Barrett Hartman. Few minutes ago I received Wire payment from your company. We have to acknowledge if the payment is sent correctly. This contact was in the transaction description. “Please look at the attached statement and give me a response what is the purpose of transfer.” A couple of things wrong with this. I haven't sent a wire payment to anyone. But the attached .doc file was dangerous. Since it wasn't a zip file I decided to see what the .doc file said. However, I received a warning that it was “macro-enabled.” That means it is more than just a document and can execute commands. So I bailed out in opening it.

By Stacy Sanborn No action was required last week at a special meeting called by the Cherokee school board. It was an open forum for all employees of Cherokee Public Schools to attend in reference to the search for a new superintendent in light of Cory Ellis’ departure. President Kory Littlefield kicked off the meeting, first acknowledging that Cherokee Public Schools was blessed despite all the things going on. He said as a board member, a few of his primary concerns are keeping the day-to-day operations going and keeping money in the bank so doors on projects won’t be shut, and to make sure the teachers have the resources they need to complete the mission at hand. He said he wants the teachers to feel they can approach administration with any needs they may have and know their request will fall on open ears. Littlefield apologized to the teachers who filled the auditorium chairs. “We’ve asked for a lot of work of our elementary teachers this year,” he said. “We’ve kicked you out of the school, we’ve asked you to move into the church, asked you to move back out of the church and into a storage container, and then we’re going
to ask you to move back in. The only difference is, and I’m sorry for this, is that we didn’t have the help and the manpower to help you guys move out. I’m sorry that you guys had to deal with a lot of that. We should have had some people in place to help move, and I promise you we will have some manpower to help you move back into your new classrooms.” Littlefield said he knows teachers are not in that profession for the money, but for their passion, and hopes the next superintendent will work well with the board to show the teachers their appreciation by supporting them and also with wage increases as finances allow. He went on to tell the teachers that the bond didn’t cover everything, and he knows that there will be little things that didn’t get taken care of, but overall, taxpayers are getting what they voted for. Littlefield said he was looking forward to the next superintendent. “We have a great opportunity here to try to find and get the right person involved,” he said, adding that he hopes for someone who’s respectful and caring, yet decisive, and for that person to have bond experience as well as grant/federal programs experience. Cherokee’s Board of Education decided to hire the help of the Oklahoma State School Boards Association (OSSBA) to help facilitate the search, admitting he and other board members didn’t know what questions to ask. “This isn’t the good ol’ boy system,” he said. “They’re (the OSSBA) going to have their requirements.” Stephanie Hyder, director of Executive Search Services with the OSSBA,
was present and will be the representative working with Cherokee Public Schools. Hyder said the application period is officially open and she thinks there are some viable candidates. She said she will be meeting with the board on June 29 to review all of the applications submitted. Applicants that are deemed to be possible hires will undergo the first round of interviews starting the week of July 6 and if at that point they feel like someone is qualified to move forward, a second interview will be held July 13. Hyder said if on June 29, when the submitted applications will be reviewed, there are no strong contenders, Plan B will be to place an interim superintendent and resume the search in the fall. “We are truly, truly hoping that this first round is going to give us the person we want, because we know someone long term is going to be better than someone short term; however, the right person in the long term is really what you want. You don’t want to get the wrong person because you’re in a rush. That would be more disastrous than placing an interim for a short period of time,” she said. Hyder went on to say she was optimistic about the pool of candidates and encouraged the teachers to take the sincerity of the school board to heart, because they are very dedicated to finding the right person. She asked the teachers to pretend they were in her position and to imagine they were marketing Cherokee Public Schools. She asked several questions for them to consider, giving the teachers the

Burlington School board approves bids to move career tech house to town Ag Education receives $15,000 grant; Variety of improvements at special meeting By Yvonne Miller The Burlington Board of Education met for a special evening meeting Monday, June 8. President Terry Graham called the meeting to order with all members present including: T.J. Rockenbach, Allison Armbruster, Roger Allen and Aaron Smith. Others attending were: Superintendent Glen Elliott, Principal Shane Feely, and Minutes Clerk Tamre Bohn. As reported from the board’s May meeting, they voted to purchase a house owned by the Autry Technology Center in Enid for $69,000. The house was built by Autry students and will be moved to Burlington and used as a teacherage. After reviewing quotes received for moving the career tech house from Enid to 308 Main in Burlington, the board accepted the quote from J. Bain Housemoving for $12,500. Then quotes received for building the foundation at 308 Main were reviewed. The board accepted the Option B quote from Jay Bain Housemoving for $9,500. The board held a 10-minute executive

session to discuss the acquisition of real estate, and took no action on that item upon return to open session. Board members discussed replacing the carpet in the kindergarten, first and second grade rooms and hallway of the little classroom building and also the office in the main building. The board accepted the quotes from Pettit’s of Alva for $19,852.55. Replacing tiles on the floor and walls in the boys and girls bathrooms in the hallway of the little building was also considered. However, the board rejected both quotes because the cost exceeded what the board was willing to spend. A quote from Alva Unlimited for $11,380 was board approved. This is to replace sinks, faucets, shut off valves, supply lines and other hardware as needed throughout the school buildings. The board also accepted a second quote from Alva Unlimited. Totaling $18,896, this quote will replace the four north air conditioning units on the roof. Technology Grant for Ag Education Vocational agriculture teacher and FFA Advisor Travis Bradshaw applied for and received a $15,000 grant. The board discussed the memorandum of understanding involved with accepting the grant. Bradshaw explained this is a technology grant given through the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education. The gift has to be used on something related to technology that he’ll use in the vo-ag education department. With the money Bradshaw
is purchasing 30 iPads and a syncing and charging station for students to use. This will work in with his MacBook laptop. He said the trend is to use more digital textbooks that have training materials. He’s planning to use it all in the classroom so the class can have interactive learning with him tying it all together up on a smart board. He said the iPads will also be great for students to take with them to study for a contest as the group travels there. “I’m excited about the possibilities,” Bradshaw said. More Burlington Board Business A contract with Tom Cameron & Associates for federal programs management proposal for 2015-2016 received board approval. Due to lack of information, the board tabled the subject of window infills in the cafeteria and main building until a future meeting. Keys to the school’s new safe room for emergencies were given to Superintendent Elliott, Principal Shane Feely, music teacher and librarian Kiley Feely, and two to keep at Burlington’s City Hall. A list of who has keys will be posted at the C-Store. The board approved the following encumbrances, change orders and warrants as follows: • General fund encumbrances 476514 – $20,714.45, warrants 1369-1370 – $17,327.13. • Building fund encumbrances, none; warrants 13-14 – $62,224.25 The nearly two-hour special meeting adjourned at 9:50 pm.

Wheat crop 2015 ‘could have been worse,’ ‘pleasantly surprised’ Newsgram area elevator operators comment on crop, cutting nearing completion By Yvonne Miller The 2015 wheat crop in the Newsgram reading area of northwest Oklahoma and south central Kansas has been through about everything Mother Nature could throw at it and then some: severe drought, late frost, a small amount of hail in some places, bugs, army worms, rust, much needed and appreciated rain that helped the wheat to fill and then forgot to turn off and caused delays in cutting, which resulted in lower test weights and ultimately yields. About 12:30 p.m. Tuesday wheat was trading up 11 cents to make the price $5.05 per bushel. Robbie Newman on Burlington Area Reporting that Burlington area yields (bushels per acre) will average in the high 30s with some fields making in the low 40s, Robbie Newman said the 2015 wheat crop is “better than expected.” However, Newman, the general manager of the Burlington co-op, was quick to point out the quality of the crop “is not the best.” He said test weights averaged just 55 (pounds per bushel). A good test weight is 60 or above. “With the rain and cooler weather (that came in May) I expected better test weights,” Newman said. Newman estimates the Burlington area is “80 percent or better” finished with cutting this crop. He said lots of wheat was lying down in fields from the heavy rain delay “that made it hard to get through.” Despite the muddy fields, Newman said the combines “got across the ground pretty good.” Shane Parker on Cherokee Area Cherokee Cooperative Manager Shane Parker was super busy when called by the Newsgram. He had time to say about 80 percent of crops in that area are cut. “It’s been a little better than expected,” Parker said. He said yields are averaging 35 bushels per acre. He’s seen test weights as low as 48 and as high as 60 bushels per pound. Parker said farmers and harvest crews have experienced lots of mud problems, getting combines and grain carts stuck. Doug Locke on Dacoma Area
With cutting in the Dacoma area about 70 percent complete, Dacoma Cooperative Manager Doug Locke said of the 2015 wheat crop, “It could have been worse.” That’s because they feared earlier this spring that yields might only be in the teens, Locke said. Instead, farmers saw some 40 bushel fields in the beginning of cutting before the rain delay that hurt as the ripe wheat stood, and in many cases lay down, uncut in the mud. Locke said test weights are “still all over the board.” He’s seen from 50 to 61 test weights. He’s “hoping for average yields of 30-35 (bushels per acre).” Although the fields have dried up significantly, Locke said, “We’ve still had mud issues.” Steve Inslee on Kiowa Area O.K. Co-op Grain Manager Steve Inslee said he estimates cutting in the Hardtner, Kiowa and Hazelton, Kansas, area is about 65 percent complete. The worst test weights he saw were 45 pounds per bushel, but they ranged to a best at 61. He said the rain delay cost a few percentage points in test weights. Inslee said the 61 test weight came before the rain. The test weight in this area of Kansas averages 55, Inslee estimates. He also said some varieties of wheat did not

perform well. That’s always the $99 question – which wheat varieties will do the best? Also, will the wheat planted early or late have the best yields and test weights? Farmers know there is no perfect answer and it’s a gamble every year. Inslee estimates yield averages around 35. Ronnie Truelock on Alva Area “Some farmers are saying the crop is a little better than expected,” Alva Farmer’s Cooperative General Manager Ronnie Truelock said. He saw a quote in a Kansas farm publication where a woman said the name “hard red winter wheat” needs to be changed to “hearty” wheat considering what this crop endured and it still performed better than expected. Truelock estimates the area the Alva co-op takes in is “at the halfway point” of cutting. He said their farmers out west in the Buffalo area are “just getting underway.” So far Truelock has heard of yields in the 30s, a few 40s and some 20s. He said the crop is averaging in the 30s. Before the rain delay, he said some test weights were in the 60s. “It’s not unusual to lose test weights with the rain,” Truelock said and reported a drop in test weights to 57 and 58. “Overall, people are pleasantly surprised and pretty pleased. In April we thought there might not be a crop,” Truelock said. “It helps everyone’s mood.”

District 3: one permit, $3750 Youth Services The commissioners signed a contract with Western Plains Youth and Family Services in Beckham County for juvenile detention services (BCRJDC). Alfalfa County will pay $29.35 per day while the child is detained by the BCRJDC. Either party may terminate the arrangement with 30 days notice. Inmate Health Services Agreement The Alfalfa County commissioners agreed to utilize Advanced Correctional Healthcare, Inc., (ACH), an Illinois corporation, to provide medical care for those jailed by the sheriff. An exception is non-county inmates. The service will use mid-level practitioners who are licensed to practice medicine in Oklahoma. The annual contract for this service is $34,151.91 to be paid in monthly increments of $2,845.99. An estimate of an average 14 prisoners per day was used to figure costs. The agreement automatically renews each year unless either party provides a 30-day written notice. AirMedCare The commissioners heard a presen-
tation for helicopter medical emergency service presented by Doug Little of Woodward in behalf of AirMedCare. The presentation was designed to convince the commissioners to provide the service for all county employees. The cost is $50 per year per membership with a total annual county cost likely to be around $5,000. If a person who is covered is terminated, the insurance automatically moves to the replacement employee. The average cost of a flight is now $25,000, which would be covered by the insurance. Guard Rail Bids The commissioners selected Sunbelt to provide tubular guard rails at a cost of $2,964. The only other bid was from RR Yards at $4,073.00 Reserve Deputies The Alfalfa County sheriff, Rick Wallace, provided a list of officers effective June 22, 2015. Regular officers include: Gary Mast, Loren Nusser, Dennis Frisk, Gregory Munholland, Rickey Wallace, and Glenn Oister. Reserve officers include: Amanda Kutz, James Dykes, David Gilley, Shelby Finney, Bobbie Rockenbach, Justin Lucas and Casey Hamilton.

Laverne couple arrested in Alfalfa County By Marione Martin An Alfalfa County deputy decided to check on a vehicle and arrested both occupants during a traffic stop. According to court documents, Deputy Sheriff Dillin Munholland was on routine patrol Friday afternoon, June 12, when he noticed a pickup truck pulling a flatbed trailer east on Highway 64 near County Road 540. As the truck and trailer passed, he noticed the vehicle was crossing the fog line.
Traffic was very heavy and there were several vehicles between the deputy and the suspect vehicle as they continued east from the four-way stop located north of Cherokee. Munholland was able to get behind the truck briefly at about Highway 11 and CR620. The truck made a sudden left turn into a driveway. Munholland noticed the truck had no lights to signal the turn. Due to traffic, Munholland was unable to stop. He drove a half mile east to a safe spot to turn around. As he was turning a round, he saw the white truck was backing out onto the highway and heading back west at a high rate of speed. Munholland was able to close a little of the distance between them and saw the truck turn south toward Cherokee at the four-way stop. Munholland followed and was able to get behind the truck just north of Cherokee. The truck made a sudden sharp turn into the D.O.T. parking lot. Munholland activated his lights and conducted a traffic stop. Munholland saw the truck had a paper tag and the back glass had been knocked out. He asked the driver to turn the truck off and exit the vehicle. Munholland asked the driver, Billy James Clark, for his license, and he said he didn’t have his wallet. Munholland asked him to stand by his patrol vehicle while he spoke to the passenger, Theresa Morgan. She provided two Oklahoma driver’s licenses. Muholland asked why Clark was driving without a license, and she said she doesn’t like pulling a trailer.
Munholland went back to Clark and asked why he had tried to ditch him two times. Clark said he was just following the GPS. He said he was trying to find the shortest and fastest way to Enid to the scrapyard. Munholland told him he didn’t think he was being honest. According to the affidavit, Clark said he didn’t have a driver’s license and he didn’t need any more trouble in his life. Meanwhile Munholland noticed that Morgan was having trouble sitting still. Munholland asked Officer Horstman to stand with the pair off to the side while he conducted a free air sniff with K9 Joshi. The K9 alerted to the driver’s side door. During a search of the vehicle, Munholland located inside Morgan’s purse a small glass mirror. When he opened it he could see an off-white residue and a small amount of off-white powder which field tested positive for methamphetamine. He also located a Q-tip rolled up inside a piece of toilet paper in the same area which also tested positive for meth. Both Clark and Morgan were arrested and taken to the Alfalfa County Jail to be booked in. Theresa Lynn Morgan, 38, Laverne, has been charged with a felony of possession of a controlled dangerous substance. She was also charged with a misdemeanor of unlawful possession of paraphernalia. Billy James Clark, 24, Laverne, has been charged with a misdemeanor of driving while license is under suspension.

Andi Williams hired as South Barber superintendent at special board meeting From Harper; 14 years experience as principal; has Title I reading and math experience By Yvonne Miller After the resignation of South Barber School USD255 Superintendent Brad Morris in mid-May, the school board started a search for a new superintendent. The board narrowed down the field from about 10 applicants and interviewed four candidates since that time. At the board’s special end-of-theyear 7 a.m. meeting June 18, the board hired a new superintendent. She is Andi Williams of Harper, Kansas, who has 14 years experience as an elementary principal and a background in Title I reading and math. Williams earned her doctorate of education leadership at Wichita State University (WSU) in 2014. She obtained her other degrees at WSU also: a masters of education, administration and supervision in 1998; and a bachelor of arts in elementary education in 1991. She comes to South Barber in Kiowa, Kansas, from her nine year position as principal at Freeman Elementary (PK 5th grade) at Haysville. The five years prior she was principal and athletic director at Anthony Elementary. Williams is the first female superintendent at South Barber. She said that 25 percent of school superintendents in Kansas are women. “I’m excited to be the first woman superintendent (at South Barber),” Williams said. “I can be a positive female role model” and added, “I am proud to have three strong-willed daughters.” Her oldest is a clinical psychologist and her middle daughter is presently a certified nurse aide at the Anthony Hospital. Her youngest daughter will be a senior in high school at Wellington. “She is motivated,” Williams said of her high school daughter who jumped from her sophomore to senior year. Explaining, she said her daughter was active in athletics, but was injured and couldn’t continue participation. She turned her focus to all academics, taking additional classes.
Williams is grandmother to a oneand-a-half year old child she described as “a delight.” Her parents are retired veterinarian Marlan and Sue Francis of Harper. Williams officially begins her role as superintendent July 1. She’ll attend a new superintendent workshop in Topeka. One of her first items of business with the school board is prioritizing their lists of long range and short term goals. She described herself as a “handson service leader.” In obtaining her doctorate, Williams wrote her dissertation on education recovery, focusing on the rural community. Her work was entitled, “Healing to Learn and Learning to Heal: Education Recovery following a natural disaster.” Sustaining education in rural communities is important to her. Williams suggests collaboration, a partnership, between private industry and schools to give students the optimum training. For now, Williams said she will commute from Harper to Kiowa since her daughter is attending school at Wellington (where incidentally, Brad Morris will be assistant superintendent.) Her work doesn’t leave much time for leisure activities, but Williams said she enjoys reading for pleasure and exercising. The new superintendent said she is anxious to start this new venture and meet people in the South Barber communities. Brief End-of-Year SB Board Business All members of the board attended this special meeting except Jeff Black. They are: President Steve Allen, Michael Anderson, Mark Pollock, Dana Roark, Dooli Rugg and Deb Helfrich. Superintendent Morris presented plaques for “outstanding service to South Barber” to outgoing board members: Black for 12 years; and Roark for four years. This was the last meeting for Black
With 14 years experience as principal at two Kansas schools, Harper native Andi Williams received the board’s vote as the new South Barber USD255 Superintendent. Photo by Yvonne Miller and Roark. New board members Mariah Doherty and Melissa Simpson take their seats at the board table in July. Besides hiring Superintendent Andi Williams, the board handled brief endof-the-Fiscal Year business. Those agenda items included: • Approval of a public meeting “Waiver of Notice” resolution to be signed by each board member. • Expend or transfer all monies to meet requirements that the General Fund has a zero balance. • Approval of end-of-year encumbrances for textbook purchases; payment of dues and insurances, athletic expenditures; accelerated reader materials; furniture and equipment; and supplies for the 2015-16 school year. • Approval to transfer the remaining unencumbered cash balance in the General Fund to Capital Outlay or other special funds after receiving the final 2014-15 state aid payment the first week of July.

Visitor from Catoosa arrested at JCCC By Marione Martin A Catoosa woman was arrested at James Crabtree Correction Center (JCCC) following an anonymous tip. According to court records, JCCC received a tip that Carrie Harmon would be bringing drugs into the prison. Harmon checked in on Saturday, June 13, at 9:37 a.m. to visit a prisoner. Prison officials closely observed Harmon due to the tip. The inmates were brought into the visitation room at 10:30 a.m. Sgt. Mardis
later told Alfalfa County Deputy Sheriff Loren Nusser that he saw Harmon walk around the visitation room and then walk over to the vending machines in the corner. She then started adjusting the front of her pants and came back to her table with a wad of paper towels. Inside the towels were found two packages approximately 1 by 3 inches wrapped in thin plastic, then in rubber and then in black electrical tape and marked with a red “M.” Inside the packages was a green leafy substance that later field
tested positive for marijuana. Correctional officers seized the drugs, placed Harmon into custody and contacted the sheriff’s office. When Nusser arrived he requested video footage and statements from the officers who had seen the incident. He took possession of the drugs and placed Harmon under arrest. On June 15, Carrie Renee Harmon, 18, of Catoosa, was charged with a felony of bringing contraband into a penal institution.
Arkansas man on road trip charged with marijuana possession By Marione Martin An Arkansas man who said he was on a road trip to New Mexico has been charged with marijuana possession in Alfalfa County. According to the affidavit on file, on Friday, June 12, State Park Rangers Ryan Webster and Nathan Rackley were on patrol at Great Salt Plains State Park (GSP). About 5:15 p.m. they received a report of possible drug use at the Sandy Beach campground. They located and
talked to Robert Conway who matched the description they were given. He was camping in an unnumbered tent camping site. When the rangers arrived, Webster saw Conway look at them and quickly remove a hard plastic container from the picnic table and put it in the right side saddle bag of his motorcycle. After speaking with Conway a few minutes, Webster told him why they were at his campsite. Webster asked if he had any marijuana, and he said “I might have a little.” Conway said he had eight grams or less. Conway said he was traveling alone on his motorcycle and using a small tent to camp. He said he was traveling from
Don’t Lock Me In The Car!
Arkansas to New Mexico and then back again on a summer road trip. Webster stated that Conway said, “I usually don’t bring any marijuana with me on road trips, and this is why.” Webster asked Conway where the marijuana was located, and he pulled out the plastic container from his saddle bag. Inside was a double-bagged baggie containing a green leafy substance with the distinct odor of marijuana, a partially smoked hand-rolled marijuana cigarette and a package of rolling papers. Conway consented to a search of the rest of his camping gear, and no additional marijuana was found. Webster issued Conway notice to appear citations and explained his obligations. He seized the marijuana and rolling papers. On June 17 Robert E. Conway, 65, Eureka Springs, Arkansas, was charged with felony possession of controlled dangerous substance within 1,000 feet of a park. He was also charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

Man sought in beating of his uncle ALVA – A 3.1 magnitude earthquake was recorded near Alva Tuesday afternoon. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, this earthquake was recorded at 12:37 p.m. Its epicenter was located 11 miles south southeast of Alva, or 42 miles west northwest of Enid. It was about four miles deep. No injuries or damage were immediately reported.
Dr. Paul Wilhelm leaving Kiowa District Hospital By Yvonne Miller Dr. Paul Wilhelm met with the Kiowa District Hospital (KDH) board in executive session June 9 to tell them he is leaving, effective Dec. 4. Staff members were told of Dr. Wilhelm’s plan late last week. KDH Chief Executive Officer Margaret Grismer said that Dr. Wilhelm will have an “incremental transition” as he joins a Via Christi private practice in Wichita. After more executive sessions, Kiowa’s hospital board voted to have Grismer start the search process for another doctor.
Grismer told the Newsgram, “We will begin a search for a suitable replacement to replace his (Dr. Wilhelm’s) irreplaceable shoes.” Dr. Wilhelm was hired by the KDH board in November of 2005. His contract to practice in Kiowa as an employee of KDH started Feb. 1, 2006. He first came to Kiowa with Docs Who Care of Wichita. Dr. Wilhelm and his wife Mary Ellen and their children came to Kiowa from Wichita where they have family. Other providers at KDH are Dr. Christie Leal, D.O., who began practicing in Kiowa in early 2015, and Physician Assistant Melissa Stroh.
By Marione Martin A warrant has been issued for a Helena man in the beating of his uncle. Brandon Nolan Hankey, 30, Helena, has been charged with domestic assault and battery by strangulation, a felony. According to court records filed by Helena Police Chief Jim Dykes, Faron McCloskey was visiting at his brother-in-law’s residence in Helena when his nephew, Brandon Hankey, attacked him, took his phone and held him hostage from 4 a.m. to a little before 6 a.m. on June 17. Dykes learned that in the past Hankey has taken McCloskey’s welfare check and his prescription medicine, leaving McCloskey without pain medicine the rest of the month. However, McCloskey was afraid to say why Hankey had attacked him. Dykes stated he believes this is the third or fourth time Hankey has beat up McCloskey to get money and/or drugs according to witnesses. After the June 17 incident, according to the court record Hankey allowed McCloskey to go home but followed him to his apartment, still after money and medicine. McCloskey held the door but Hankey pushed it open and apparently grabbed McCloskey by the throat and choked him to the floor and sat on his chest for close to an hour before letting him up. Hankey allegedly threatened McCloskey that he would kill him if he called police. Dykes observed red marks on McCloskey’s neck and scratches on his neck. He was also holding his stomach but refused to let Dykes call an ambulance. Another nephew, Brandon Young, contacted the police.

By Yvonne Miller Kiowa City Administrator Nathan Law notified council members individually last week that he is leaving Kiowa. Law said he accepted a “great job offer” from the City of Louisburg, Kansas, to be their city administrator. With a population of 4,299, Louisburg is a City of 3rd Class like Kiowa, which has a population of around 1,000. Louisburg is near Kansas City where Law and his wife Rae can be closer to her family. The Laws have three children: Ivy,
age 5; twins Edith and Emerson, age 3; and a baby boy due in August. Law presented his 60 day notice from last Thursday, which ends approximately Aug. 18. He is to start at Louisburg at the end of July, but Law said his employers understand his transition. Before he leaves Kiowa, Law said he will have an “adoption-ready budget” for the council’s approval. He said he’s trying to get the word out that Kiowa needs a new administrator through advertising and talking to his colleagues across the
state. “I want to help the council find my replacement and help train him,” Law said. Law started as Kiowa’s city administrator in September 2010. “Kiowa is a great community with good people,” Law said. “This is a great job I have here in Kiowa. It’s a mixed bag really – my leaving. Kiowa is such a wonderful place. We’ve had lots of fun. Kiowa will always have a piece of our heart.”

911 system recovers from power surge By Lynn L. Martin A week ago Monday, the 911 call center located in the Woods County Courthouse was hit by three power surges during the day. Two surge protector/battery back up packs were damaged beyond repair. The surges also took out two hard drives. This week, the Woods County commissioners said that everything was back to normal with replacement equipment. On Monday and Tuesday of last week, part of the 911 mapping display was not working. Monday of this week they announced everything is back to normal. The commissioners have been trying to come up with money to upgrade the system. Most of the equipment is 20 years old and parts are only available from other
junked systems. ATT provided the original equipment, but they have been looking at other equipment that is $20,000 less expensive. Bids Only one bid was received for pest control services at the court house. Dan’s Pest Control will be paid $247 per month. Two bids were submitted for election ballots. One bid was not valid, so the bid from Midwest printing was accepted. The cost will be 13.5 to 15 cents per ballot depending upon length. The bid for county insurance was lower than last year by $15,000. The commissioners elected to pay this year’s premium in one lump of $111.034. The insurance for the 911 system is $4500 with a $500 deductible.
The sheriff’s monthly report totaled $2,101.02 with a boarding of prisoners expense of $47,301.07. Juvenile Detention The commissioners approved a contract with the office of Juvenile Affairs for detention and transportation of juveniles. The cost per day varies as to where the juveniles are taken: Craig County – $17.02, Canadian County – $178.70, Creek County – $29.39, Muskogee Youth Services – $23.27, Sac and Fox Nation-Stroud – $21.11; Sequoyah Enterprises-Talihina – $23.26; Texas County $29.36 and Western Plains Youth and Family – $29.35. The Office of Juveniles Affairs bills Woods County for the transportation at a rate of .574 cents per mile plus $12 per hour driving time.

Midstates files suit against Regal Oilfield Supply Petitions court to discharge $1.25 million in oil and gas liens filed by Regal By Marione Martin Midstates Petroleum Company, LLC, a Tulsa-based company, has filed a civil suit in Alfalfa County against Production Specialists, Inc. d/b/a/ Regal Oilfield Supply of Alva. The suit (CJ-1517) is a petition to discharge oil and gas liens totaling over one million dollars. The petition states that Regal has provided oilfield-related supplies and equipment to Midstates since Oct. 10, 2012 pursuant to a Master Service Agreement (MSA). Midstates claims that Regal has wrongfully field mechanics liens on the real property interests of Midstates in
Alfalfa County for “purported failures of Midstate to pay for oil and gas production materials and supplies.” Midstates listed six reasons why the liens are invalid: • Regal contractually waived its right to assert liens against the oil and gas interests. • The relevant contract(s) supporting the asserted liens were breached by Regal. • The oilfield supplies and equipment underlying the liens were not delivered to Midstates. • The subject liens were not timely field.
• The subject liens were not properly supported by the lien filings. • The subject liens are overstated in amount. The document also states the purported liens, to the extent they are valid, are subject to a priority lien in favor of the working interest owners and mineral interest owners, pursuant to the Oil and Gas Owners’ Lien Act of 2010. The petition further states that Midstates is entitled to attorneys’ fees and costs if Regal fails to establish its liens. The total of liens cited in the suit is $1,251,682.71.
Gov. Fallin adds 26 counties to list seeking disaster aid OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Gov. Mary Fallin and the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management are asking the Federal Emergency Management Agency for individual disaster assistance in 26 more counties because of tornadoes and flooding that began May 5.

assistance for 24 counties and 11 other counties are awaiting approval. If approved, assistance would be available for housing repairs or temporary housing, low-interest loans for individuals and businesses, disaster unemployment assistance, and grants for disaster expenses not met by other programs. FEMA also previously approved public assistance funds for municipalities, counties and rural electric cooperatives in 54 counties.

opportunity to respond between each one. “What would you say to a candidate about the strengths of the district and why should they be the next superintendent of Cherokee Public Schools? What are areas of growth and improvement?” Littlefield chimed in, saying answers to these questions and any concerns or questions will help drive the search to find the right person. One teacher spoke up, saying she was worried about finances with the oil field decline, and didn’t want the staff to shrink. She said she wanted a superintendent to keep them protected by being financially intelligent. Another teacher said she wants someone who really understands the ins and outs of classroom operations. Littlefield said they (the board) would be crazy to try to pick someone without the teachers’ direction and asked them to continue giving input. After that meeting adjourned, community members came together to listen to Hyder and Littlefield. Hyder asked the audience what they thought were some strengths of Cherokee’s school district. Someone said the sports programs, another said the compassion of the teachers and how much they care about the kids. Another person in the audience said a positive, attractive thing is that new, young families with children are coming into Cherokee. The same lady told Hyder that Cherokee has a very active Main Street, which poses as another attraction to an incoming superintendent. Others mentioned the desire for the new superintendent to be respectful of Cherokee’s traditions and for better communication with the community, saying texts, Facebook, and the school website were great ways for school administration and community members to stay on the same page. Hyder took into account all these things, and said that a superintendent’s responsibility is to educate the board while managing the school, and that all of these elements together would drive what the school is going to look like. She gave her contact information and welcomed any feedback to help find the right fit for Cherokee Public Schools. Littlefield closed the meeting, thanking the community for their involvement.
