Hardtner’s `Mr. Fourth of July’ Bob Sterling to speak at Hardtner’s Veteran’s Service “Keep it Real” is theme of the celebration – Real Beef, Real Fireworks, Real Fun!; Traditional all-day fun in Hardtner with 10 a.m., parade to 10 p.m., fireworks; Free pit BBQ beef sandwiches, free swim, games and more in Achenbach Park By Yvonne Miller Anyone who knows Hardtner’s Bob Sterling realize his name is synonymous with the Fourth of July in the tiny rural Kansas community that continues to put on one of the biggest fireworks extravaganzas in this area. It was his father Ed Sterling and Floyd Clark who started a rivalry to put on the biggest and best fireworks display for their families. It was this competition that birthed Hardtner’s Fourth of July celebration that continues Saturday with the 57th annual event to celebrate America’s 230th birthday of independence. The theme of this year’s celebration is “Keep it Real.” The T-shirts say, “Real Beef, Real Fireworks, Real Fun! Hardtner is Real America.” Sterling overcame a near death illness a year ago and miraculously survived. A former army commander, he is fiercely patriotic and for years marched in Hardtner’s Fourth of July Parade, carrying the flags with his buddies from the American Legion Post No. 175. Now the veterans ride in the back of a pickup with the flags, but their patriotism is just

as strong as the time they served their country. How fitting that Sterling will speak at the annual Fourth of July Veteran’s Program held at the Methodist church in Hardtner. The service starts at 11 a.m., after the traditional parade at 10 a.m. As was evident in Sterling’s numerous performances on the Border Line Theatre stage many years, you never knew what the cantankerous character was going to say, and he always brought down the house. No doubt he’ll have a captive audience Saturday. Sterling is about as “real” as it gets. Sterling was a longtime farmer/ rancher and owned the Kiowa Sale Barn and Ranch House with his wife Sue many years. They continue to own Yur Place restaurant in Hardtner where Sterling was up at the crack of dawn cooking breakfast and delivered meals to shut-ins for years. Their daughter Syd continues the family tradition of serving homemade meals that make your mouth water just thinking about it. Yur Place will be open to serve breakfast the morning of the Fourth, and close in time for the 10 a.m. parade. For decades, Sterling’s voice was the one you heard as auctioneer at the White Elephant Auction and then emceeing Hardtner’s fireworks extravaganza where he always yelled, ‘Hi Neighbor!” as the fireworks illuminated the Achenbach lawn. Now his sons Sam and Steve do the honors along with the Sterling’s grandchildren. Daughter Syd continues to organize the big day of Hardtner’s Fourth of July activities with the town’s chamber of commerce. Practically everyone in Hardtner helps in some way with the celebration. The joke, but reality, among Hardtner folks is once you have a job with the Fourth, you do it until you die or leave the community. Hardtner’s 4th of July Events Kick Off with Parade, $1,000 Prize Prior to the parade, the Lil’
Firecracker contest is held at the VFW building on the south end of Main Street with Kat Shelton in charge. The little girls will ride in the parade where $1,000 in prize money is given to float winners. The parade marshal will be a surprise like last year when Norma Wilhite was pulled out of the crowd, honored and escorted through the parade route. At the end of the parade, the first clue in the Medallion Hunt is given as participants search for the $100 prize. Emily Lohmann is in charge of the sand volleyball games that start at 11 a.m. The free swim at Hardtner’s huge pool in the park starts at 1 p.m., where snow cones are available. Bike races start at 2 p.m., with turtle races at 3 p.m. Syd said a crew of volunteers will bury about 2,000 pounds of donated beef in a pit in the park on the 3rd. After cooking all night, the fall apart tender Pit BBQ Beef will be served on sandwiches from 4-6:30 p.m. just south of the pool. Your first sandwich is free, the rest are $1 each. Leftover bundles of the pit BBQ beef will be sold at the White Elephant Auction in the park at 5 p.m. Donations of a variety of stuff and baked goods and other food items are welcomed as is cash. This is how Hardtner provides a day of basically free family entertainment. Syd said if you need items picked up, call Yur Place at 296-4477. She’ll be in Kiowa Thursday picking up a donation from the General Store. “I appreciate the many donations we’re getting,” Syd said. The aerial fireworks show starts at 10 p.m., as the crew sets off $10,000 worth of the colorful bombs. Syd said people can look forward to a live band and light show at the fireworks like last year. She said the group is Roadhouse Poets who will also sell Kettle Korn. If you love spending the Fourth in Hardtner, remember those folks could use more volunteers or your donation to “Keep it Real.”

Is Windows 10 backwards compatible with your existing software? By Lynn L. Martin Most of us do our work on Windows computers. At the end of July, Microsoft will roll out Windows 10 free of charge. Here is an article from howtogeek.com that covers a lot of things you should be thinking about. Microsoft’s Windows 10 seems like a big change. The version number alone is a big leap from Windows 7, and most of the default apps are new-style “universal apps,” not traditional desktop apps. But, if you depend on traditional Windows desktop applications, you shouldn’t worry. Don’t let Windows 10’s new look fool you – if an application ran on Windows 7, it should also run on Windows 10. Under the Hood, It’s Similar to Windows 7 and 8 Windows 10 will be released on July 29. Microsoft is already advertising it to Windows 7 and 8.1 users. Yes, Windows 10 can run traditional Windows desktop applications. Windows 10 is very similar to Windows 8 under the hood, and Windows 8 was very similar to Windows 7. There are no huge application security model or driver architecture changes, as there were when moving from Windows XP to Windows Vista, or Windows XP to Windows 7. In other words, if it runs on Windows 7 or 8, it’s almost guaranteed to run on Windows 10. Yes, Windows 10 includes a whole new application model, but traditional Windows desktop applications run sideby-side with those new applications. Windows RT is Gone Microsoft has even killed off Windows RT, so even Microsoft’s Surface 3 can now run traditional desktop applications, although the Surface 2 couldn’t. All Windows laptops and tablets 8 inches or larger in size have access to the full Windows desktop. Windows
10 devices under 8 inches in size run “Windows Mobile,” and don’t have a desktop. This is a bit different from Windows 8, where there were 7-inch tablets with a full Windows desktop. But, if you’re looking at a 7.9-inch Windows tablet, you probably don’t want to run desktop apps on it anyway. Compatibility Modes It can be quite annoying when you try to install a driver or other software on Windows 7 just to find out it isn’t compatible with the new OS. Today we look at using the Program Compatibility Assistant, and troubleshooting compatibility issues so programs install successfully. Like Windows 7, Windows 10 does have “compatibility mode” options that trick applications into thinking they’re running on older versions of Windows. Many older Windows desktop programs will run fine when using this mode, even if they wouldn’t otherwise. Windows 10 will automatically enable compatibility options if it detects an application that needs them, but you can also enable these compatibility options by right-clicking an application’s .exe file or shortcut, selecting Properties, clicking the Compatibility tab, and selecting a version of Windows the program worked properly on. If you’re not sure what the problem is, the “compatibility troubleshooter” can walk you through choosing optimal settings. What Won’t Run A few things that did work in previous versions of Windows won’t work properly on Windows 10. Any application or hardware that requires an old driver will be a problem. If you depend on an application that interfaces with a Windows XP-era hardware device and the manufacturer has never provided a driver that works on Windows 7, you’re likely in trouble. On the other hand, if there is a driver that does work on Windows 7, your hardware should continue working properly on Windows 10. Any application that only worked on Windows XP and broke in the upgrade to Windows 7 also won’t work on Win-
dows 10 — don’t expect it to. The Professional versions of Windows 10 don’t offer the “XP Mode” feature Microsoft offered in Windows 7. If you absolutely do depend on Windows XP software that doesn’t run properly on Windows 7 or newer versions of Windows, you can set up your own Windows XP virtual machine. 16-bit applications — that is, any application left over from the Windows 3.1 era — also won’t work on 64-bit versions of Windows 10. If you had a 32-bit version of Windows 7, they would run on that. If you do depend on ancient 16-bit applications, be sure you install the 32-bit version of Windows 10. This is just like with Windows 7 — 16-bit applications wouldn’t run on 64bit versions of Windows 7, either. Try to run a 16-bit application on the 64bit version of Windows 10 and you’ll see a “This app can’t run on your PC” message. How to Find Out if an Application is Compatible Microsoft offers an Upgrade Advisor that scans your system and informs you if it finds any applications or hardware devices that won’t work properly on WIndows 10. This is built into the new “Get Windows 10? application that’s been rolled out to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users via Windows Update. Click the “Get Windows 10? icon in your system tray and go through the process. If you have important applications that you use for business purposes or anything else irreplaceable, you should consider contacting the developer or company that produced them and asking if the applications will be compatible with Windows 10. These applications should be if they were compatible with Windows 7 and 8. If you really depend on these applications, you might want to hold off upgrading for a few weeks and see if other people with the applications say they work properly on Windows 10. You don’t necessarily have to upgrade on the first day Windows 10 is available — the free upgrade offer lasts an entire year.

Alva school board hires vo-ag instructor Monday night By Lynn L. Martin The Alva Board of Education spent several minutes asking questions of Sierra Walker before hiring her as an assistant vo-ag instructor for Alva High School (AHS). Last year, she was a chemistry teacher at AHS. She replaces Jessica Chegwidden, who resigned. Superintendent Steve Parkhurst said five candidates were considered and Walker was the most qualified applicant. Walker told the board she would like to bring to her classes her knowledge in agriculture science. Also,
Sierra Walker
she has a minor in wildlife management. She also plans to inspire her students to do ag “citizenship projects” around the community. Indoor Practice Facility Architectural drawings were distributed to board members showing the layout of the large indoor practice building being constructed southwest of the high school. The project, estimated at $1.2 million, is a gift from the Pete and Ruth Leslie Foundation. Also, the Share Trust has donated $300,000 for a new building adjacent to the indoor practice facility, which will house boys football locker rooms and a large weight/exercise room. The old football dressing room will be converted to a visitors’ football dressing room. The Alva board tabled an agenda item to deed over a tract of land to be used for the indoor practice building to the Pete and Ruth Leslie Foundation. The reason for the pending transfer is the foundation can privately build the structure to city codes if it is on their land, with them paying for it as they wish with no competitive bidding required since no tax money is being used. Then after construction is completed, the land and new building will be deeded back to the Alva school district. The board will likely approve the deed transfer at an early July meeting. The reason the board tabled the transfer of land on Monday night is they had not seen drawings of the proposed
facility until they arrived at the meeting site. They wanted to hear information on when construction was to be begin and an estimated completion date. Also, since the schools will be responsible for maintaining the building after it is deeded back to the district, so they wanted to inspect the drawings from that viewpoint. Staff Superintendent Parkhurst announced that Mark Carroll is the new IT director for the Alva district, replacing Tony Ishmael who retired. He said the district is looking for other IT employees to assist Carroll. Parkhurst presented a required dropout report to the board. He said four AHS students dropped out this year compared to six last year. No other site in the district had any drop outs. The superintendent explained to the board that the high school counselor and high school principal try to prevent the students dropping out by offering alternative solutions such as online courses and individual tutoring. Student Transfers The Alva school board approved transfers of six students from outside the district to attend the Alva schools this fall. They are Kayla Cotton, Stephan Harwell, Jagger Lohmann, Jordan Lohmann, Austin Shklar and Cody Shklar. The students come from AlineCleo, Cherokee and Waynoka. Extra Duty Pay for Summer Several coaches have been working extra this summer. The board will later approve their extra-duty pay list for the coming year, so these payments are for duties performed between last year’s schedule (ending June 30) and next year’s schedule to be voted upon at a future meeting. Taylor Schwerdtfeger – $875, Dustin Horn – $500, Michael Shklar – $250 and Ryne Wilson – $250. Alva Mural Society The board approved an agreement with the Alva Mural Society to place murals on two sides of the Alva gymnasium buildings. The two images being proposed are images of the 1924 Nation-

Paras and teacher assistants rehired by Burlington School Board By Yvonne Miller The Burlington Board of Education met for their regular monthly meeting June 22. Board President Terry Graham called the meeting to order with four members present: Allison Armbruster, Aaron Smith and T.J. Rockenbach. Member Roger Allen was absent. Superintendent Glen Elliott, Principal Shane Feely, and Minutes Clerk Tamre Bohn also attended. The board met in executive session for 30 minutes for the purpose of discussing re-employment of paraprofessionals and teacher assistants, support personnel salary increases and employee stipends with possible votes to be taken upon return to open session. In open session, the board voted re-employ Kathy Motycka, Shannon Shrum and Aliene Gosselin as paraprofessionals for 2015/2016 school year. They voted to re-employ Jenny Stewart and Jaci Heath as teacher assistants for 2015/2016 school year. At the recommendation of Superintendent Elliott, the board approved an increase in office support personnel and substitute teachers. They also approved the superintendent’s recommendation for employee stipends as discussed with details to be decided at a future meeting. The minimum teacher salary schedule for 2015-16 was board-
approved. In his superintendent’s report, Elliott apprised the board of the school’s yearend financial status. “I know we’re going to be up,” he said. Elliott knows the district’s expenditures, but they don’t yet know the total of the tax collections they’ll receive since that time period ended June 30. Elliott said the school’s utility expenses are down. However, the telephone expenses increased. He explained that’s because the federal “e-rate” program is being phased out for small schools. The e-rate provides discounted telecommunications, Internet access, and internal connections to eligible schools and libraries. The superintendent also discussed the upcoming OSSBA/CCOSA conference in August, inventories of buildings and vehicles, summer grounds maintenance and legislation. Other Burlington School Board Action The girls and boys restrooms in the pre-kindergarten - second grade classroom building will have the floor and walls retiled. The floor in the teacher’s restroom in that building will also get new tile. The board accepted the quote from Justin Clark, Precision Flooring, for $5,904 to do the job. Dirks Copy Products submitted the only copier quote. The board approved the maintenance agreement quote for the copiers and the maintenance
agreement quote for five printers. The board approved the general fund encumbrances for $110,030.75, change orders for $896.49 and warrants for $93,119.71; Child nutrition encumbrance for $11.99, change orders for $58.27 and warrants for $781.20. Also receiving board approval was: the May activity report; membership in Northwest Oklahoma School Offices (NWOSO) for 2015/2016 for $500, membership in the Oklahoma State School Board Association (OSSBA) for 2015/2016 for $1,475, membership in the Organization of Rural Oklahoma Schools (OROS) for 2015/2016 for $500, membership in the Oklahoma Schools Advisory Council (OSAC) for 2015/2016 for $350, workers comp with OSAG for $10,763, and membership in the Oklahoma Public Schools Unemployment Compensation Account (OPSUCA). The board approved transfer of $151 from petty cash and $606 from the clearing account to the general fund and $4,096.55 from the lunch account to the child nutrition fund. They also approved to reserve the funds available for purchases and projects for bills that have been approved by the Board which invoices have not yet been received as follows: General Fund $198,553.71 and Building Fund $1,200.77. Edgenuity received the board’s approval as the school’s online virtual curriculum for 2015-2016. Clark Bittle, representative from Oklahoma School Risk Management Trust (OSRMT), joined the meeting 8:45 p.m. After listening to Bittle’s brief presentation on property liability insurance coverage, the board discussed the three options. The board approved going with OSRMT for property liability for the upcoming year. Bittle left the meeting at 8:55 p.m. A second executive session was held for about 15 minutes to discuss the acquisition of real estate. Upon return to open session, no action was taken regarding the acquisition. The two hour and 20 minute meeting adjourned at 10:20 p.m.

By Stacy Sanborn A quorum was determined at Monday night’s school board meeting in Waynoka although member Clint Olson was absent. With no visitors present to comment, the next agenda item was addressed. One bid came in on the telescopic seating for the gymnasium at $191,371, sent in by a company called Interkal. Superintendent Loren Tackett and member Don Blalock, the only ones who have personally seen the proposed seating, gave high praise to the bid item. It was approved and members discussed their preferences for colors. Black framing with gray plastic and a marooncolored seatback was the popular choice. In the consent agenda, Tackett updated members on the school’s financial situation. He said he checked with the county assessor and the ad valorem should be about the same, although she (the assessor) doesn’t have all the public service money in. That money is expected to arrive sometime in July. Gross production is still higher than this time last year, but about half as much as the amounts from November and December. The consent agenda was approved after a motion was made to assign a purchase order (in the amount of $191,371) for the gym seating. Tackett then started his report. He said a plumber will be coming this week to work on a few problematic areas. Carpet installation begins this week and
the sidewalk repair/replacement will follow. Tackett said he looked at lockers, but there was no way they could get here this summer. He said he will continue to look into it since several of the school’s lockers are having problems staying open or staying locked. Principal Michael Meriwether simply stated in his report that they are still searching for a basketball coach. He has talked to a few people, but said he is not going to hire just anybody. Afterward, the board moved to approve the following items: • Superintendent Loren Tackett as the official purchasing agent for Waynoka Public School, the authority to designate additional personnel as receiving agents when necessary, as the authorized representative for all federal programs including e-rate, and as the authorized representative for the Child Nutrition school lunch program for the 2015-2016 school year. • Lori Adair to serve as board of education minutes clerk, encumbrance clerk and alternative purchasing agent for Waynoka Public Schools for the 2015-2016 school year. • Gail Nickelson to serve as board of education deputy minutes clerk, and activity fund account custodian for the 2015-2016 school year. • Loren Tackett and Gail Nickelson to sign all checks for the school lunch fund for 2015-2016 school year. • Approval to designate the activity
fund custodian authority to transfer assets in the activity account when there is actual exchange as long as there is no movement of money without recovery for the 2015-2016 school year. • Approval of recommended expenditures from activity accounts for 2015-2016 school year: • Approval of the fundraiser request for the 2015-2016 school year: Cheerleaders will hold a T-shirt fundraiser at the beginning of the school year during enrollment to help buy their uniforms, with an estimated income of $1,000. • Approval to adopt an investment resolution with the Woods County treasurer concerning surplus funds for 2015-2016 school year. • Approval of the lease of the school house to Michael Meriwether from July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2016. • Approval of the lease of the old shop building to Chuck Tune from July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2016. • Approval of the 2015-2016 Student/ Parent Handbook. • Approval of the Waynoka Public School Technology Plan for 2015-2016 school year. • Approval of the continued service agreement with the Oklahoma Public Schools Unemployment Compensation Trust Account and Oklahoma State School Boards Association (OPSUCA) for 2015-2016. • Approval of membership renewal with OROS for the 2015-2016 school year. • Approval of the membership renewal with Northwest Oklahoma School Officials for the 2015-2016 school year. • Approval to declare list of cheerleading items as surplus and designated items for disposal. Members then went into executive session to discuss the following personnel decisions: 1. Employment of certified temporary classroom teachers for the 2015-2016 school year 2. Discuss extra duty assignments for

Kiowa Hospital District in the black, search begins for new doctor By Yvonne Miller Despite May being a slow month, the Kiowa Hospital District (which includes the hospital and manor) were in the black at the end of May, showing current year earnings of $395,409, as provided by KDH CFO Janell Goodno. This was in Goodno’s report at the regular June meeting of the KDH last Thursday evening. Board President Pat Myers called the meeting to order with all members present including Jim Parker, Brenna May, Chantae Simpson and Jeff Miller. KDH CEO Margaret Grismer also sat at the board table. As reported in the Newsgram last week, Dr. Paul Wilhelm announced his resignation effective December 4. At a special meeting June 18, the board approved beginning the process to recruit a physician by word of mouth and National Health Service Corps (NHSC) and Kansas Hospital Association (KHA) for the next 30 to 45 days. Then the board will decide if they need to hire a recruiting firm, a head hunter. “They are good, but very expensive,” Grismer told the board in reference to head hunters. Physician Assistant Melissa Stroh said that the National Health Service
Corps “has a fabulous loan repayment program.” Regarding an in-house pharmacy contract, Grismer told the board that the person they had lined up canceled. That arrangement would have served both the Kiowa and Medicine Lodge hospitals as both are in need. Now the search continues. Grismer said pharmacist John Hagood will continue to help Kiowa temporarily. Grismer updated the board on the old hospital property at 810 Drumm St. Since the board deeded the property to Project Pink, “all the hospital district’s responsibility is gone,” Grismer said in reference to expenses such as insurance, utilities, liability, etc. Grismer addressed the agenda item to consider bids for razing the two old hospital houses known as the Lyle and Jenny houses. The CEO said all the old medical records were removed from the houses “that are filled with rodents and imploding.” The board discussed at length the most cost-efficient method of handling the old houses and lots. Finally, the board unanimously agreed to accept the only bid they received for demolition of the houses from Cornerstone Dirt Construction. The cost is not to exceed $8,400 for demolition. The board would like to sell the lots and did not want to leave an eyesore standing. Of those boxes and boxes of old medical records that were removed, Grismer said it took over $5,000 to have them destroyed
(shredded). With the new board in place, Grismer had each member sign bank signature cards. Following an over two hour executive session at the end of the meeting, the board approved the risk management/quality assurance reports for the hospital and manor. The board also approved $50,000 of capital expenditures to be used for a variety of needed expenditures such as the cost of demolition, medical equipment, a paper shredder, equipment for the manor such as a dryer and more necessary purchases. Hospital Statistics and Financials Presenting the hospital statistics Goodno said, “May was a very slow month.” Total admissions were 15 for total days of acute and swingbed care at 26.

By Marione Martin Helena police say two adults were arrested for throwing packages over the fence at James Crabtree Correctional Center (JCCC) and speeding away with two juveniles in the car. A man on foot was also arrested. Rakeisha Chabrea Reed, 35, who was identified as the driver, now has five felony charges and three misdemeanor charges in Alfalfa County. The felonies are unlawful possession of controlled dangerous substance (CDS), conspiracy, eluding a police officer, child neglect and causing/aiding/ abetting a minor in drug crimes. The misdemeanors are possession of CDS, unlawful possession of paraphernalia, and driving while license is under suspension. Blair Angus Schorney, 33, a passenger in the rear of the dark blue Dodge Status, has been charged with three felonies and two misdemeanors. The felonies are unlawful possession of CDS, conspiracy, and causing/ aiding/abetting minor in drug crime. Misdemeanors are possession of CDS and unlawful possession of paraphernalia. Carl David Johnson,47, Mustang, has been charged with a felony of conspiracy. He was also charged with a misdemeanor of obstructing an officer. According to court documents, on May 29, Helena Police Chief Jim Dykes was notified by JCCC that occupants of a dark blue Dodge Status had just thrown packages over the prison fence and sped off to the east on Third St. Dykes was on Main St. when he saw the suspect vehicle speed south followed by a JCCC truck driven by Barney Laird. Dykes joined the pursuit, activating his lights and siren. The pursuit reached a high speed of 85 mph on a 45 mph dirt road. Two miles south of Helena at CR 660 and the Aline blacktop the vehicle failed to make a turn and ran into the southeast ditch. In the front seat next to the driver was a 17-year-old holding a 3 year-
old in her arms. The teen put the child down in the seat, opened the passenger door and started throwing multiple packages into the grass. Schorney also opened the rear passenger door and started throwing out packages. Reed, Schorney and the 17-year-old were placed under arrest. The vehicle was searched, and a large duffle bag in the backseat was seized. In the duffle bag, officers found five bundles of marijuana totaling 12.4 oz., 16 bundles of tobacco totaling 4 lbs., six bags of pipe tobacco weighing 96 oz., three 375 ml bottles of Heaven Hill vodka (one opened), ten cellphones with accompanying sim cards and charges, and miscellaneous drug paraphernalia including needles, papers, lighters and nail clippers. The marijuana was verified by a field test. The packages retrieved at BJCC included a bottle of liquid which tested positive for PCP at the OSBI, marijuana totaling over 379 grams, 30 Gabapentin 600 mg pills, four bags of tobacco, 15 rolling papers, 12 lighters, a container of snuff, a glass pipe, a Bluetooth set, digital scales, a set of earbuds, four cellphones, and ten syringes along with other items. Man on Foot Alfalfa County Deputies Loren Nusser and Gary Mast went to assist Chief Dykes. When they were about six miles southwest of Helena, they were told that there was a man in black pants and black shoes walking south from the Jiffy Trip who had been seen at the prison. The deputies caught up with him at the intersection of SH-45 and SH-58. Nusser asked Johnson where he was coming from. He said he and his girlfriend had a fight going through Helena and he got out of the vehicle. He would not give them the name of his girlfriend. Nusser told him there had been a contraband drop at the prison and he met the description of one of the individuals involved. Johnson was taken into custody for questioning and taken to the accident scene involving Reed and Schorney. Nusser again asked Johnson the
identity of his girlfriend, and Johnson pointed at Reed. He said he had been riding with them but got out when he found out they were doing “shady stuff.” Johnson was placed under arrest and placed in the back seat of the patrol car. Schorney was also placed in Nusser’s vehicle. Schorney staggered and acted lethargic. Deputy Mast asked if he was ok and if he needed an ambulance. He said he did not. While they were waiting for a wrecker, the deputies noticed Schorney was falling asleep and appeared intoxicated although they could not detect an odor of alcohol. When asked he again refused medical care. After the deputies completed the inventory on the vehicle, they took the men to the Alfalfa County Jail. Reed and the two juveniles were also taken to the county jail. The juveniles were released to Oklahoma Juvenile Services. Schorney began not to respond to stimulus so EMS was called. Chief Dykes went with Schorney in the ambulance.

By Marione Martin Alfalfa County Deputy Sheriff Dillin Munholland was driving west on U.S. Highway 64 at about County Road 660 on June 24 when he saw a truck pulling a flatbed trailer leave the road into the ditch and back onto the roadway. This occurred about 8 p.m. According to court documents, Munholland turned around and activated his emergency lights to conduct a traffic stop on the Ford truck. Munholland spoke to the driver, Michael Ryan Anzalone, and asked why he ran off the road. Anzalone said the wind blew him off, but Munholland told him the wind was blowing in the opposite direction. Anzalone then said there was a dead raccoon in the road and he didn’t want to get a flat. Munholland had turned around where Anzalone ran off the road and did not see a dead animal on the road. Munholland asked Anzalone to come back to his patrol vehicle. Anzalone was unsteady on his feet, and once in the vehicle Munholland could smell the odor associated with an alcoholic beverage coming from Anzalone’s breath. He also saw that his eyes were red and bloodshot. Munholland asked Anzalone if he had drunk any alcohol and he said no. Munholland said he could smell it, and Anzalone said he had a couple of shots
about two hours before. Asked if there were any open containers or illegal drugs in the truck, Anzalone said no and told Munholland he could look. While searching the truck, Munholland located a Marlboro cigarette box inside a blue bag in the passenger floorboard. Inside the cigarette box was what appeared to be a black valve stem that appeared to have a burnt leafy substance inside. Munholland asked Anzalone if everything in the truck belonged to him, and he said yes. Munholland asked about the valve stem, and Anzalone said everything but that was his. He did agree that the blue bag was his. Munholland field tested the valve stem which tested positive for marijuana. After a few minutes Anzalone admitted the valve stem was his. Munholland asked the last time he smoke marijuana, and Anzalone said about an hour ago in Cherokee. Asked again about alcohol, Anzalone said he had a couple shots in Carmen about two hours ago. Anzalone became angry with Munholland because he had pulled him over. Munholland told him he was under arrest. Helena Police Chief Jim Dykes arrived and stood by with the vehicle until the owner of the truck company could take possession. Munholland took Anzalone to the Alfalfa County Jail. At that time, Anzalone agreed to take the state’s test. Munholland placed him back in the patrol vehicle to take him to Share Medical Center in Alva for the blood draw. During the trip, Anzalone began to curse and yell uncontrollably. At the hospital Anzalone continued to
use foul language. Munholland told him he needed to stop cursing in front of the ladies. As the nurse attempted to draw blood for the state’s test, Anzalone said no. Munholland confirmed that he was now refusing the state’s test. Muholland thanked the nurse and ER tech for trying to help and took Anzalone back to the Alfalfa County Jail. During the ride back, Anzalone became very angry and hostile again. He was yelling, cursing and slinging his head back and forth. Anzalone began to clear his throat as if he were going to spit. Munholland told him he better not spit in his vehicle. The deputy saw that Anzalone had used his head to roll down the window. Munholland stopped the vehicle and went around to talk to Anzalone. He saw Anzalone rear his head back in an attempt either to spit in his face or head butt him. Munholland put his hand over Anzalones face and throat to prevent this. He then fitted Anzalone with a spit mask. Anzalone attempted several times to spit on the floor and on Munholland’s computer. Muholland told him again not to spit in his vehicle. Anzalone spit into the mask and then began to rub his face on Muholland’s computer. Muholland radioed ahead to have Sheriff Rick Wallace met him to assist with Anzalone. Both Wallace and Sergeant Gary Mast took control of Anzalone and escorted him to the jail. Miachel Anzalone, 28, Enid, has been charged with DUI, possession of controlled dangerous substance and unlawful possession of paraphernalia, all misdemeanors.

Woman found Cherokee man accused of shot in Kiowa burglary, domestic assault apartment By Yvonne Miller Last Wednesday, June 24, the Kiowa (Kansas) Police Department received a phone call at 10:45 p.m. regarding a woman found with a gunshot wound. The woman was found in one of the Sunflower Apartments at 716 Drumm. That’s according to Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) Public Information Officer and special agent Mark Malick at Topeka. When contacted by the Newsgram Monday, Malick released the name of the woman, Shawna Riley, age 22. Malick said Riley is from the Wichita area, but had been living in that apartment in Kiowa with a man. He would not disclose the man’s name because Malick said the case is still under investigation. When Riley was discovered, she was taken to the emergency room at the Kiowa District Hospital and then taken by a medical flight to a Wichita hospital. Malick told the Newsgram Monday the last report he had on Riley was Friday afternoon and she remained critical. He was unavailable for another update Tuesday morning. When asked where the gunshot wound was located on the woman, Malick said he could not release that information because of the ongoing investigation. He also could not answer whether the gunshot was self-inflicted or if Riley was shot. Barber County Sheriff Justin Rugg said with the KBI called in on the case, he could not release information until the investigation is finalized.
By Marione Martin A Cherokee man is facing two felony charges after a domestic incident on Saturday, June 20. David Leslie Young, 47, has been charged with first degree burglary and domestic assault and battery by strangulation. A warrant has been issued for his arrest. According to court papers, on June 20 at 11:40 p.m. Cherokee Assistant Police Chief Horstmann went to the residence of Ms. Dahn after a 911 call. He found Dahn weeping hysterically and shaking. He observed marks on her legs and a cut on her foot that was bleeding. He saw her lip looked swollen on one side. After searching for Young, Horstmann went to talk with Dahn at her sister’s residence. Dahn said was locked out of her residence when she began receiving messages from Young. She was able to gain entrance through a back door.
She heard Young knock on her door and demand to be let inside. She said she waited a while and then went to check if he had left. When she opened the door, he was still there and she demanded that he leave. As she attempted to shut the door, she said, he kicked it open and grabbed her. Dahn said as they struggled, she fell on the couch. She said he punched her in the mouth and held her down with his hands around her throat while shouting at her. When he finally let go, he went to the front door and left. She said she called 911 and heard a knock on the door. She recognized Mr. Fink who had come to check on her because he knew she had been locked out of her residence. Dahn said after Horstmann left to search for Young, Fink told her Young also struck him and then came back to apologize but threatened to have him killed if he pressed charges.

Oklahoma Transportation Commission OK’s emergence flood damage repairs By Sean Murphy OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma Transportation Commission unanimously approved an emergency declaration on Tuesday that will expe-
dite about $3 million in contracts to repair damage caused by heavy flooding in recent weeks, including a rock slide that shut down a half-mile stretch of Interstate 35. The commission's vote authorizes five separate contracts, including about $1.4 million to stabilize the rock face in the Arbuckle Mountains. Sliding rock in the area forced the closure of the northbound lanes of I-35, the major north-south artery through the state. The contract also calls for the disposal of about 14,000 tons of rock that slid onto the shoulder after the heavy June storms. The interstate has been narrowed to one lane in each direction since June 18, and transportation officials cautioned it could be as many as two months before all lanes are open. Other contracts are to repair flood-damaged bridges over Cottonwood Creek in Carter County and Post Oak Creek in Jefferson County; an approach on the Red River bridge in Bryan Coun-
ty; and a large sinkhole on a highway in Stephens County. While the contracts authorized Tuesday total about $3 million, Oklahoma Department of Transportation Director Mike Patterson said damage from recent storms to state and county roadways could top $30 million. Patterson said officials from the Colorado Department of Transportation sent an expert on mountain rock to assist state engineers in developing a plan for securing the limestone and shale face of the Arbuckles south of Davis in central Oklahoma. ODOT is expected to issue an $870,000 contract to Colorado-based GeoStabilization International to use a series of explosive charges to remove any remaining loose rock and then use 20- to 30-foot-long bolts to stabilize the rock face. For safety purposes, ODOT plans to completely close I-35 in the area for at least a half hour when the blasting takes place.

Ruling allows OK earthquake lawsuit to move forward to trial By Allen Reed An Oklahoma woman can pursue a jury trial after she was injured when her fireplace crumbled in an earthquake she claims was caused by saltwater waste pumped into the ground, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled Tuesday. The move further exposes the energy industry in Oklahoma to trials over such earthquakes, which scientists increasingly say are linked to large-scale wastewater injection wells from drilling operations. A state agency has even said it is "very likely" that the frequent quakes of magnitude 3 or higher are triggered by such operations. Other lawsuits against the energy industry are pending in Oklahoma and elsewhere. The justices' procedural move could usher in more litigation and weaken the industry, energy lawyers have argued. Proponents of regulation, however, have said the threat of energy companies being liable for earthquake damages could result in safer practices. One of the few certainties is further legal wrangling, as the defense attorney says he'll seek a trial for his client. Tuesday's decision overturns a lower
court judge's ruling in the case of Sandra Ladra, whose knee was injured Nov. 5, 2011, during a 5.0 magnitude earthquake — one of Oklahoma's largest on record. Ladra was watching television in her living room when the earthquake caused a two-story fireplace to tumble, causing rocks to fall on her legs and gash her knee. She said wastewater injections from two energy companies contributed to the earthquake and claims personal injury damages in excess of $75,000. Lincoln County District Judge Cynthia Ferrell Ashwood dismissed the lawsuit in October, arguing the court doesn't have jurisdiction and that the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, which approved of the disposal operations, should handle the matter. The Oklahoma justices noted earthquake activity has increased near Ladra's home at Prague but did not take a stand on the merits of her case, instead saying it should return to a lower court because Ladra is seeking damages and isn't trying to modify wastewater injection rules. Defendants include Tulsa-based New Dominion LLC; Cleveland, Oklahoma-based Spess Oil Company and 25
other unnamed parties. New Dominion general counsel Fred Buxton declined to comment, and attorneys representing the other named companies didn't return calls for comment. Energy company attorneys had previously warned the lawsuit could cause businesses to abandon wastewater disposal wells across the state. "These wells will become economic and legal-liability pariahs," attorney Robert Gum told Ashwood during an October hearing, according to the Tulsa World. Ladra's attorney, Arkansas-based Scott Poynter, said he hopes to present the case before a jury. "This upheld a longstanding view in Oklahoma that when you have a private citizen suing another private citizen or entity for damages then that belongs in court," said Poynter, who represents dozens of clients affected by earthquakes. Poynter said he's hopeful ruling will encourage energy companies into better disposal practices. "I'm not out to kill the industry, neither are my clients," Poynter said. "Just pay for the damages you caused and let's figure out how to do this safely."

First lady hosts Girl Scout campout on White House lawn By Darlene Superville WASHINGTON (AP) — Some lucky Girl Scouts were set to experience the ultimate in camping Tuesday: an overnight in tents pitched on the White House South Lawn. It was the first time that one of the country's most well-known expanses of manicured grass was turned into a campground, an excited Michelle Obama said as she greeted the 50 Girl Scouts who snagged coveted invitations to the outdoor sleepover. "This is something you can tell your kids and your grandkids," said Mrs. Obama, who appeared giddy with excitement as she pointed to the celebrated white building beyond row after row of carefully arranged blue and white tents. "Do you understand the impact, the importance of this moment today. It's exciting."
As honorary national president of the Girl Scouts, the first lady welcomed the fourth-graders for the evening, which was arranged as part of her Let's Move initiative against childhood obesity. One component of the program encourages kids and their families to take advantage of the outdoors. The girls, who represent Girl Scout councils in Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, the District of Columbia and Oklahoma, spent the afternoon climbing rock walls, tying knots, pitching tents and participating in orienteering exercises to earn a new outdoor badge. After dark, the girls were to sing songs, perform skits and gaze up at the stars under instruction from NASA staff and scientists before the scouts call it a night and head for their two-person tents. About 20 chaperones were also spending the night
outside. The White House declined to say whether the first lady would be trading her second-floor bedroom for a tent, too. Mrs. Obama, who was not a Girl Scout, said she didn't know if she could "officially earn a badge but I want to try" and asked the scouts for some help. "I don't know anything. I don't know how to tie a knot. I don't know how to pitch a tent," she said, before drawing a proverbial line against one of their activities. "I'm definitely not climbing that wall." She did, however, master the art of tying the overhand knot and the square knot. The campout was co-sponsored by the Interior Department and celebrates the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service. The White House is a national park.

chances for a favorable outcome. John P. Keefe of Edmond said he's ending legal action against the Oklahoma Tax Commission for denying him a plate that would have read "LGBTALY," an abbreviation for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender ally. He told The Oklahoman (http://bit. ly/1IqiKQL ) that the Supreme Court ruling in a Texas case left him and his attorney not knowing how their fight was "going to go in our favor." A Texas board had denied a request by the Texas Sons of Confederate Veterans for a specially designed plate featuring a Confederate battle flag. The Supreme Court ruled that state-sponsored license plates represent government speech, not that of individuals. Keefe's attorney Charles Broadway said they had considered arguing the Texas case applied to the state-sponsored design of the entire plate and not the message spelled out. "He (Keefe) does think it's different
but he realizes that it would be a real uphill fight," Broadway said. Keefe also faces a criminal charge related to his bail bondsman license, and he said that case strained resources he had to pursue the license plate. Keefe was charged May 22 with representing himself as a bail enforcer without a license. Prosecutors say that Keefe attempted to arrest a woman on a bond issued by the company he co-owns. Court records show that Keefe is a licensed bail bondsman and has completed bail enforcement training, but his enforcement license is pending. Nearly 50,000 personalized plates are registered in Oklahoma. The Tax Commission denies requests that are offensive, vulgar, gang or drug related, and more than 2,100 letter and number combinations have been rejected. Keefe has said a commission employee told him his request for a vanity license plate was denied because the term LGBT has a sexual connotation.

By Kate Brumback ATLANTA (AP) — A strongly worded dissent in the U.S. Supreme Court's narrow decision this week upholding the use of an execution drug offered a glimmer of hope to death penalty opponents in what they considered otherwise a gloomy ruling. One advocate went so far Tuesday as to call it a blueprint for a fresh attack on the legality of capital punishment itself. But even those who see Justice Stephen Breyer's dissent as a silver lining think it will take time to mount a viable challenge. And Breyer's words don't change the fact that the Supreme Court has consistently upheld capital punishment for nearly four decades. The five justices forming the majority in Monday's decision made it clear they feel that states must somehow be able to carry out the death penalty. In disagreeing with the 5-4 ruling that approved Oklahoma's use of an execution drug, Breyer, joined by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, called it "highly likely that the death penalty violates the Eighth Amendment," which protects against cruel and unusual punishment. "It was a sweeping and powerful dissent that issues an invitation that we should accept, which is to make the case for why today the death penalty itself is no longer constitutional," said Cassandra Stubbs, director of the Capital Punishment Project of the American Civil Liberties Union. "Rather than tinker with these questions of how we should kill, we
should be asking the more fundamental and the larger question of whether we as society should still be executing anyone at all," she added. In the case that prompted Monday's opinion, death-row inmates in Oklahoma had objected to the use of the sedative midazolam after the drug was blamed in several botched executions. Their argument was that the drug does not reliably induce a coma-like sleep that would prevent them from experiencing the searing pain of the paralytic and heart-stopping drugs that follow. Oklahoma, Florida, Ohio and Arizona have used the drug in killing 13 inmates total since the start of 2014, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito said arguments that the drug could not be used effectively as a sedative in executions were speculative. He dismissed problems in executions in Arizona and Oklahoma as "having little probative value for present purposes." The Supreme Court struck down capital punishment in 1972, and some justices thought at the time it would be the end of the death penalty. But many states just wrote new laws and the court reinstated it four years later. Stubbs wouldn't speculate when a new constitutional challenge to the death penalty might make its way to the Supreme Court, but said it's "on the horizon." Already, there has been a trend of decreasing use of the death penalty, she said, citing the falling
number of executions and new death sentences issued. Multiple factors are driving that trend, including increased awareness of exonerations of death row inmates, the costs of bringing capital cases and giving juries the option of life without parole, allowing them to impose a very serious punishment without death. The fact that more than 100 death row inmates have been exonerated demonstrates that the death penalty is unreliable, Breyer wrote. He also argues that the death penalty is imposed arbitrarily, is no longer used by most of the country and that it takes far too long to carry out, which undermines any deterrent effect. Those concerns could provide guidance to capital defense attorneys going forward about which cases might have the strongest chances of challenging the death penalty itself, said Robert Dunham, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, which opposes capital punishment. "What Justice Breyer does is go through the defects, not to say this is right or this is wrong, but to illustrate how, collectively, they may amount to a system that violates the Constitution," he said. "In that sense, the opinion is not just an invitation for briefing, but a blueprint for the types of arguments that the court would consider in determining whether the death penalty is constitutional or unconstitutional." Cheryl Pilate, a Kansas City-based attorney who has represented a number of Missouri death row inmates, said it was clear there's a faction on the court that sees fundamental problems with the death penalty that can't be fixed. "I think Justice Breyer's dissent was a bold and emphatic statement that indicates to us that the issues that have been raised repeatedly are getting close attention, at least among some justices on the Supreme Court," she said. "So we think it bodes well for the long run and in the meantime, there's an awful lot of work to do."

Oklahoma court: 10 Commandments monument must come down By Sean Murphy OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A Ten Commandments monument on the Oklahoma Capitol grounds is a religious symbol and must be removed because it violates the state's constitutional ban on using public property to benefit a religion, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled Tuesday. The court said the Ten Commandments chiseled into the 6-foot-tall granite monument, which was privately funded by a Republican legislator, are "obviously religious in nature and are an integral part of the Jewish and Christian faiths." The 7-2 ruling overturns a decision by a district court judge who determined the monument could stay. It prompted calls by a handful of Republican lawmakers for impeachment of the justices who said the monument must be removed. Attorney General Scott Pruitt had argued that the monument was historical in nature and nearly identical to a Texas monument that was found constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Oklahoma justices said the local monument violated the state's constitution, not the U.S. Constitution. "Quite simply, the Oklahoma Supreme Court got it wrong," Pruitt said in a statement. "The court completely ignored the profound historical impact of the Ten
Commandments on the foundation of Western law." Pruitt said his office would ask the court for a rehearing and that the monument will be allowed to stay until the court considers his request. Pruitt also suggested the provision in the Oklahoma Constitution that prohibits the use of public money for religious purposes may need to be repealed. Ryan Kiesel, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Oklahoma, which represented the plaintiffs in the case, said Pruitt's suggestion and the calls for impeachment amounted to sour grapes. "I think the idea that you go about amending the constitution every time you lose a court battle is a dangerous precedent for anyone to engage in, but in particular for the state's highest attorney to do so," Kiesel said. "And the calls for impeachment represent a fundamental misunderstanding of how an independent judiciary functions within our system of democratic government." Since the original monument was erected in 2012, several other groups have asked to put up their own monuments on the Capitol grounds. Among them is a group that wants to erect a 7-foot-tall statue that depicts Satan as Baphomet, a goat-headed figure with horns, wings and
a long beard. A Hindu leader in Nevada, an animal rights group, and the satirical Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster also have made requests. Rep. Mike Ritze, a Republican from Broken Arrow whose family paid about $10,000 for the monument's construction, pushed the bill authorizing the monument. He said he hoped the attorney general would appeal the ruling. The original monument was smashed into pieces in October, when someone drove a car across the Capitol lawn and crashed into it. A 29-year-old man who was arrested the next day was admitted to a hospital for mental health treatment, and formal charges were never filed. A new monument was built and put up in January.

Enid officials say canola plant off the front-burner
ENID, Okla. (AP) — Officials in Enid say Northstar Agri Industries has decided not to build a canola plant in the city and wants to sell the land it set aside for the plant. City Manager Jerald Gilbert said Monday the land is being offered to other industrial users and that the city is hopeful it can find another business for the site. According to the Enid News & Eagle (http://bit. ly/1KlIU75 ), Mayor Bill Shewey said Monday a recent drought and a lack of canola prompted the decision. Economic development official Brent Kisling said there has not been an official announcement from Northstar Agri. He said the most recent word from the company was that plans were being delayed indefinitely. The company didn't return telephone calls to the paper Friday or Monday.

revenue $405,346. Total operating expenses were $426,216 for a loss from operations of $20,871. With the addition of $95,857 mainly tax money, the hospital showed a gain of $74,986. Goodno told the board that since the balance sheet was made at the end of May, the uncollected tax amount of $471,468 to be paid in June is now in the bank. The balance sheet also shows that $373,029 is due from Medicare. Goodno said gross accounts receivable was $682,536, which is down and closer to the goal of under $500,000. Net accounts receivable were $398,536 at the end of May. Manor Financials and Updates Heidi Courson, director of nurses for both the hospital and manor, said she attended a long-term care seminar and “came home with great ideas.” She added, “The manor staff is very receptive.” Courson said in April she hired a new registered nurse who just completed her program. “It’s nice to have young, fresh grads who are excited,” Courson said. She said these are hires of Kiowa District Healthcare, not just the manor or hospital. Grismer said the manor
morale is up with the staff. Manor Administrator Kim Balding was on vacation so could not comment at the board meeting. Grismer said the manor was accepted for the PEAK 2.0 program, which is now a Medicaid pay-for-performance incentive program. The manor’s revitalization program is an example of a project that works well with PEAK 2.0. Homes that engage in system changes to support person centered care receive financial incentives through Medicaid reimbursements. Grismer said the manor is using the new software product that is used by 75 percent of long-term care facilities nationwide. It’s PointClickCare (PCC) that makes keeping patient records a snap when nurses enter information immediately when leaving a patients’ room. The manor patient census in May was 21. The manor is licensed for 29 residents. They accept private pay or Medicaid patients only. Presenting the manor financials, Goodno said the agency nursing pay was “the lowest I’ve seen. Good job

manor.” Agency pay in May was $1026. That’s a huge improvement over last May when agency pay was $22,702. The manor had total operating revenue of $103,167 in May. Total operating expenses were $128,024 for a net loss of $24,857. With the addition of mainly tax money, $5,593, the manor’s loss was curbed to $19,264. “We had improvements on the expense side,” Goodno said of the manor. The next meeting of the KDH board is Thursday, July 23, 7 p.m., in the clinic lobby.

Maximum permissible per meal was raised from $20 to $25, and the full day limit was changed from $40 to $55. The superintendent said these limits created some problems, particularly with the many Ladybug trips in their run for the state tournament basketball championship. NWOSU Football Field The board approved an agreement to pay Northwestern Oklahoma State University (NWOSU) $5,000 per game for five games for use of the NWOSU football field for the next school year. The Alva board, which at times has used the field for free, has agreed to lease fees to help the university to pay for upgraded lighting, and now help pay for the new artificial turf surface. Parkhurst said this is the first of five payments. Alva students will run the concession stand, with the university and the high school splitting the profit. Apple Computer Lease Last year, in April 2014, the district entered into a plan to supply Apple computers to all Alva Middle School and AHS students. The superintendent said this has been very successful and the lease has been renewed for another year. One-third of the cost is paid by the Wisdom Foundation, one-third by Share Trust, and one-third by the Alva district. In other lease renewals, the school bus lease with Ross Transportation was approved. Internet service from BancCentral for the bus barn was renewed, and the cylinder lease with Munn Supply, the Mailing Machine lease with Pitney Bowes, and the Endex fire alarm monitoring service were approved, as was the copier lease with Dirk’s.

Christie promises blunt campaign as he enters 2016 contest By Jill Colvin and Steve Peoples LIVINGSTON, N.J. (AP) — A tough-talking New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie launched his 2016 campaign for president Tuesday with a promise to tell voters the truth even if it makes them cringe. The Republican governor, a one-time GOP favorite who faded and now tries to climb back, lashed out at "bickering leaders" from both political parties in a kickoff rally in the gymnasium of his old high school. And in his trademark blunt style, he told voters — and warned Republican rivals — that he's ready to be aggressive in the 2016 contest. "You're going to get what I think whether you like it or not, or whether it makes you cringe every once in a while or not," Christie declared. He added: "I am now ready to fight for the people of the United States of America." Christie enters a Republican presidential field that already has more than a dozen GOP candidates. Not all draw as much attention as Christie, who will compete for the same slice of the electorate as pragmatic-minded White House hopefuls such as former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. But it's an accomplished lineup of governors, senators and business people. Christie's effort is largely driven by his outsized personality, and his resume, while notable, contains scattered land
mines that have given many Republicans pause. Four years ago, some of Christie's backers tried to persuade him to challenge President Barack Obama. In the years since, he won re-election with ease, but also struggled to revive New Jersey's moribund economy and fought with the state's Democratic-controlled legislature over pensions and the state budget. While Christie's turn as head of the Republican Governors Association was widely viewed as a success in the 2014 midterm elections, he's also faced the fallout from the actions of three former aides, charged with creating politically motivated traffic jams at a bridge to retaliate against a Democratic mayor who declined to endorse Christie's re-election. Christie has not been tied directly to wrongdoing, denies he had anything to do with the bridge closing and has seen no evidence emerge to refute that. Still, the episode deepened the sense that he may surround himself with people who will do anything to win. He declared early in the scandal that "I am not a bully" to counter the public perception that he is just that. The governor faces a tough sell with many conservatives, but has seemingly found his stride at times in visits to early voting states with the lively town hall
meetings he's known for at home. There will be plenty more of those now that he's an affirmed candidate. Emboldened by his political successes in heavily Democratic New Jersey, he seems himself as a leader who can work across Washington's bitter partisan divide. "We need this country to work together again, not against each other," he said with his wife, Mary Pat, and their four children standing behind him. He promised to lead a White House that would "welcome the American people no matter what party, no matter what race or creed or color." Yet Christie also jabbed President Barack Obama's "weak and feckless foreign policy" and called Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton the president's "second mate." "America is tired of hand-wringing and indecisiveness and weakness in the Oval Office," he said. "We need to have strength and decision-making and authority back in the Oval Office. And that is why today I am proud to announce my candidacy for the Republican nomination for president of the United States of America." In 2012, Christie was seen as the charismatic, pragmatic governor who burst onto the scene in made-for-YouTube moments. He gained national attention with a landmark deal in which the state's public sector unions agreed to higher health care costs and retirement ages in exchange for promised payments into the state's chronically underfunded pension season. Christie's fortunes have certainly changed. Now, Christie has been eclipsed by others in a pack of more than dozen rivals. And his poll numbers at home have sunk to record lows. New Jersey's economy is lagging and there have been nine credit downgrades on Christie's watch. Christie grew up in Livingston, a town about 20 miles west of New York City, and served as class president at the high school. His high school friends were among the first to receive word that Christie would be launching his campaign at their old school.
