The Alva Airport Authority met Friday at noon and reviewed architectural plans presented by Garver Engineering for taxiway work needed to change the old main runway to meet the needs of heavier aircraft using the new runway. Also, with the old runway decommissioned, the airport board can move forward in constructing more desperately needed hangars that can now be located nearer the old runway. The city has had difficulty getting anyone to bid on the project. After a third try, Nash Construction offered a bid of $809,298, which is considerably more than the architect expected. The main problem is Alva’s distance from firms that can handle this type of work. The Woods County commissioners stepped up and agreed to take on the dirt work, which will save the city a couple hundred thousand dollars. In the end, member Wes Miller made a motion to accept Option 4 of the proposal, which has third-party dirt work. The airport board’s vote will serve as a recommendation to the city council to approve the bid. The motion also included instructions to Garver Engineering to write the appropriate change orders from the original bid specs.

Although their marriage is ending, their role as parents continues through their lives. To help make this transition easier, Northwest Family Services staff member Ginger Smith, M.B.S., will be teaching a Parenting Through Separation and Divorce class Monday night, Sept. 21. The class will be in Cherokee from 6-9 p.m. in the Civics Room (first floor) of the Alfalfa County Courthouse, 300 South Grand. If the Civics Room is unavailable, the alternate courthouse room will be posted. To enroll, please call Northwest Family Services at 580-327-2900 or e-mail info@ northwesfamily.net. Participants must pre-enroll; the class will be canceled if there is inadequate pre-enrollment. This class was designed at the request of the courts to help divorcing couples understand the problems their children may experience during and
after a divorce or separation. It will fulfill the court order for all divorcing parents. Parents will learn skills to parent cooperatively, even though they are divorced. In the class, parents will learn how to effectively communicate with their children and with their former spouse. They will practice reflective listening skills and will study various active communication techniques and nonverbal communications. They will also practice workable negotiation styles for dealing with conflict and rules for effective expressions. Recognizing and avoiding Pain Games is another topic of consideration. Parents will learn to recognize and cease games like I-Spy, Set-up and Wishbone, which are likely to hurt the children. Class members will also discuss various options for parenting, such as joint custody and mediation.

Lynn Says
Four health tips you might consider – vaccines later in life By Lynn L. Martin “Flu - You can fend it off (Really!)” That’s a quote from the latest issue of Consumer Reports magazine. In the article, Consumer Reports says last year’s flu vaccine was only 23 percent effective .... but experts claim that amount is better that no flu shots at all. William Shaffner, MD, of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), urges that most everyone from six months on up get an annual flu shot in October before the peak flu season. Shaffner predicts that this year’s version of the vaccine will be about 65 percent effective. Consumer Reports says, “A flu shot may prevent you from having to go to the emergency room, intensive care unit or possibly dying.” Darlene Sanderson of the Woods County Health Department says they have not received their flu vaccines for this year. She said the second week of October is a good guess. Measles Consumer Reports says that this year a Washington State woman was the first to die of measles in the last
12 years. Measles is a highly contagious disease marked by rash, fever, eye infections and a long-term hacking cough. Last year, there were 667 cases last year, according to CDC. Quoting: “This is worrying news about a disease that in the year 2000 declared totally eradicated. Shaffner says, ‘If you’re not sure if you were ever vaccinated, go get a dose. In 10 days to two weeks you’ll have complete protection.’” Shingles The third vaccine that Consumer Reports recommends is the shingles vaccine. The opening paragraph reads, “If you are 60+, you need the shot!” “If you’ve had the chickenpox at any point, you’re at risk for shingles, which often causes an extremely painful blistering rash and nerve pain. According to the CDC, one in three people will develop shingles in his or her lifetime.” In the year 2013, only 24 percent of adults aged 60 and older had received the shot, according to Marvin M. Lipmann, MD. When I asked Darlene Sanderson of the Woods County Health Department about flu vaccine available, she also said, “Don’t forget the Tdap: Tetanus, Diphtheria, with a booster of Pertussis for whooping cough.” These three diseases are all caused

by bacteria. Both diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough) are spread from person to person. Tetanus enters the body through cuts, scratches or wounds. Before vaccines, each year the U.S. averages around 500-600 cases of tetanus, 100,000 – 200,000 cases of diphtheria and 175,000 cases of pertussis. A 25-Minute Daily Walk Can Add Seven Years to Your Life Finally, since I’ve been walking to and from work pretty frequently, my attention was drawn by this article by Ollie Gillman from Mail On Line over the weekend. Here’s part of it: “A brisk 25-minute walk every day can add up to seven years to your life and cut risk of dying from a heart attack by half.” New research has found that regular exercise can reduce the risk of dying from a heart attack by half. Even people who do not start exercising until they are in their 70s can still improve their health, the academics behind the study say. Sanjay Sharma, professor of cardiac diseases at St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in London, said gentle exercise can reduce the risk of dying from a heart attack in the average person’s 50s and 60s by half. “This study is very relevant. It suggests that when people exercise regularly they may be able to retard the process of aging,” he said. “We may never avoid becoming completely old, but we may delay the time we become old. We may look younger when we’re 70 and may live into our 90s. “Exercise buys you three to seven additional years of life. It is an anti-depressant, it improves cognitive function and there is now evidence that it may retard the onset of dementia.”

Letter to the editor
Lack of appointments could end low-cost pet clinic I am a disgruntled animal rescuer today. Why? It isn’t because of the sick kitten that will die soon from a dreadful disease or the raptor that someone shot just as it is needing to migrate for the winter. It isn’t because of nonstop work for no pay or not being able to help animals who need it. What is troubling me now is the one thing that can make a difference for generations of animals: the low cost spay/neuter clinic we bring to Alva three times per year is in jeopardy. People tell me that they would spay their pets if there were a cheaper alternative. “If only …” they say. Well, we’ve helped spay/neuter 400+ pets in the past year and a half through these clinics. So what’s the problem? Attendance is down and the number of no-shows is up. SpayWay comes for two-day clinics to make it worth their time. The last two
times, we had several scheduled but not show up for appointments. This time, few have booked appointments. The clinic is this weekend. We may cancel one day of it for lack of interest. I’m worried we’ll lose the clinic altogether. This could be great news if it meant that we’ve reached all animals who need our services. Unfortunately, we know better. We were bombarded with requests this summer to take litters of unwanted puppies or kittens. My heart breaks to know how hard we’ve tried and that we may not be able to provide this service because of lack of interest. I have ample evidence that it is needed. The lack of appointments and canceled appointments shows me that it isn’t wanted. Our services are wanted when people have animals they want to “get rid of,” but not when we offer a way to prevent that.
If we can’t win through prevention, then all of our “rescue” work is less bearable. Knowing that nearly every animal that comes in was put in a bad position by humans is bad enough. Knowing that they don’t care to take the easy step to prevent the suffering we see makes me want to give up, especially when we’re doing our best to make that prevention available and affordable. If they are wanted, then PLEASE make an appointment at your local vet, or use our services if you can’t afford that. Email spaywayalva@gmail.com and set up an appointment.

Alfalfa County commissioners fixing up jail By Amanda Galindo The Alfalfa County commissioners agreed to pay Integrity Steel Works a sum of $3,242.93 as a fixed price for the maintenance and repair of approximately 18 detention doors and associated equipment in the Alfalfa County Jail. The length of the proposal is one budget year and is renewable for two consecutive budget years, 2016-2018. Some of the repairs needed will be to clean and lubricate all locks, cali-
brate and adjust limit switches, re-adjust doors to proper alignment, troubleshoot all detention hardware such as locks, hinges and food pass doors. They will also tighten and replace missing screws on all locks and hinges. In addition, they will verify manual release and electrical operation.

The board approved an expenditure of $4,000 to Verdigris Valley Sod Farms for seeding and mulching of 1.2 acres in District 1. Only one bid was received from Circle S Paving for surfacing County Road 580. The commissioners decided to table the bid, which was in the amount of $5,321.57. They authorized the county clerk to go out for a bid on 1.5 mile of overlay of NS-252 and EW intersection improvement and pavement repair. On the advice of Buddy Carol, they voted to transfer Cash HST #2 to Cash Dist HST #2 for $47,114.41, which makes a new account for the highway sales tax account to be in its own fund. The commissioners voted to pay Luckinbill $284,257.59 for heat/air electrical project. They also met with Karen Hawkins about City of Cherokee flooding issues and forming an interlocal agreement with the city and the county.

Burlington FFA among nation’s Top 10 chapters, Maltbie selected as American Star finalist By Bayli Hyde, Burlington FFA Reporter The old saying that “big things come in small packages” certainly holds true for the members of the Burlington FFA chapter as they prepare for the 2015 National FFA Convention. The National FFA Organization recently named the finalists for many of its highest awards, and Burlington was at the top of several of these lists. The Burlington FFA chapter was named a National Model of Excellence finalist, which is awarded to the top ten chapters in the nation. Upon arrival at the National FFA Convention, members will be interviewing before a panel of judges and vying for the title of top chapter. Burlington is also a finalist for National Model of Innovation in Chapter Development for their work on creating recognition for E.M. Tiffany, author of the FFA Creed. The chapter was also rated as a National 3 Star Chapter, the highest rating that can be given to a chapter. In addition to chapter awards, 10 Burlington FFA graduates will be receiving their American FFA Degree, the highest
degree of membership that an FFA member can receive. These recipients are Heather Armbruster, Caleb Baker, Katelyn Garvie, Garet Harden, Jenna Maltbie, William Maltbie, Lane Newlin, Tiffany Rieger, Carter Stewart and Joshua Stewart. One recipient, William Maltbie, was selected as a finalist for American Star in Agribusiness. This award is given to the top four members in the nation with a strong agribusiness. Maltbie has been the owner and operator of Maltbie Mowing since he joined the FFA in 2007. He will receive $2,000 for being a finalist and will attend the Costa Rica Travel Seminar next summer. Bayli Hyde, Burlington FFA reporter, was named a National Proficiency finalist in the area of Home and Community Development. Hyde has been very active in her local community and was named the state winner in this area at the Oklahoma State FFA Convention last May. Jonathan Armbruster received a Gold rating in the Grain Production Placement Proficiency Award.
Burlington FFA member Marshall Burnet impressed a panel of judges with his voice and was chosen for the National FFA Chorus. He will be performing in front of thousands of FFA members during the sessions of this year’s national convention. And finally, three Burlington FFA supporters will be honored with the Honorary American FFA Degree. James and Janet Maltbie, parents of William and Jenna, and Burlington FFA Advisor Travis Bradshaw will all be receiving their honorary degree during a ceremony at convention. While they may have only had 34 inschool members during the 2014-2015 school year, the Burlington FFA chapter continues to find ways for small-town kids to achieve big-city success.
Burlington FFA member William Maltbie leads the long list of National FFA award winners as a finalist for American Star in Agribusiness. Maltbie and the other finalists will compete for these awards at the National FFA Convention Oct. 28-31 in Louisville, Kentucky.

By Marione Martin A 24-year-old Cherokee man is facing two felony charges in Alfalfa County after police say his girlfriend had to have stitches in her arm and lip. Rich McKinley Puckett, 24, of Cherokee has been charged with felonies of (1) domestic assault and battery resulting in great bodily harm and (2) child abuse by injury. Court records state Cherokee Police Officer Tristan Hall responded to a domestic dispute call at 1:26 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 27, in the 1100 block of South Oklahoma Avenue. When he arrived, he saw a woman and small child going into the alley and heading north while a man headed south in the alley. Officer Hall circled the block once looking for the woman and was flagged down by a resident in the 1000 block who said the woman was there. Hall left his vehicle and spoke to the woman, Summer Ruffin, who was covered in blood and had a large laceration in her lower lip. He contacted EMS to come to the scene. When EMS arrived, Ruffin and her two children, ages 3 and approximately 3 months, got into the ambulance. As Officer Hall photographed her injuries, Ruffin explained what had happened. She said she was at a neighbor’s house when Puckett, the father of the 3-month-old, got off work early. She said he was angry that she was at the neighbor’s house. They stayed at the neighbor’s for a while and were drinking. She said they left because Puckett was hungry and then they started to argue. Ruffin left the residence to go cool off, and she said Puckett hit her as she was trying to leave while she was holding the baby.
When Ruffin returned to the residence, Puckett refused to let her back in the house. She said she reached through the broken window in the door and Puckett attempted to pull her through it which broke the rest of the glass. They both received lacerations, and Ruffin’s lip received a large laceration. She said Puckett left through the back door and came back in as she was getting the baby. She said he grabbed the baby from her arms and then ran into the church across the street. Ruffin said Puckett tossed the baby on the floor while attempting to hold the doors to prevent Ruffin from entering. She said Puckett went out the back of the church and gave the baby to the neighbors then took off down the alley. Ruffin and her infant child were transported to Integris Bass hospital in Enid. Officer Hall began to look for Puckett. He returned to the residence to document the scene. He observed a large quantity of blood droplets on the porch leading up to the broken door. When he entered, he saw blood drops and bloody smears on the floors, walls and throughout the entire house as well as leading out the back door which was also damaged.
After taking photographs at the residence, Officer Hall went to the hospital in Enid to complete his investigation. While on the way, he contacted DHS regarding the children. He was contacted by a caseworker who said the children would be taken into DHS custody. At the hospital, Hall was told the infant did not receive any major injuries, just a small scratch under his left eye. Ruffin received stitches in her forearm as well as in her lower lip.

Battle Buddies volunteer coordinator Ron Pandos talks to veterans who are serving time at the James Crabtree Correctional Center in Helena about the services provided by Battle Buddies.
Battle Buddies recruits veterans serving time at JCCC HELENA – Around 30 veterans serving time at the James Crabtree Correctional Center (JCCC) met with Battle Buddies coordinators Thursday to discuss the benefits of signing up for the program and resources available to them and their families. Gary Henrick, Jerletta Pandos and Ron Pandos are armed forces veterans who are now volunteer coordinators with the group. They spoke to offenders about the importance of having someone on the outside to help them find a job and a place to stay when they finish serving their sentences. “A veteran is going to talk candidly to another veteran before anyone else,” said Jerletta Pandos. “It’s nothing against therapists or counselors, we just feel more comfortable talking to someone who has been in the same type of situations as we have been in.” Battle Buddies was started in 2012 by retired Major General Rita Aragon, who serves as Gov. Mary Fallin’s advisor on veteran’s issues, to pair veterans on the
outside with those who are incarcerated. The volunteers also told offenders they could help them get a portion of the benefits they received from their military service to their families. “You can still help provide for your family while you are serving your time,” Pandos said. “I don’t know anyone whose family couldn’t use a little more help.” In addition to helping obtain benefits and other resources, Battle Buddies serve as mentors for fellow veterans to rely on for emotional support. According to Pandos, the program currently has over 700 incarcerated veterans in the state registered with a volunteer mentor. So far 68 have been released from department of corrections (DOC) custody, none of whom have reoffended. Pandos also said around 25 of the 68 veterans who are out of custody still have contact with their Battle Buddies. “We are your family and your Battle Buddies will be there for you as long as
you need them,” Pandos said. “We are here to ensure that a veteran will never be left behind or forgotten about again.” Battle Buddies currently has 180 volunteer veterans who provide services throughout the state. According to numbers provided by Battle Buddies, approximately 2,840 registered veterans are currently in DOC custody and 78 percent of them are serving time for non-violent crimes. In April, Battle Buddies was named as DOC’s 2015 Volunteer Organization of the Year and will be recognized during an annual banquet in November. DOC Director Robert Patton applauded the efforts of the volunteers and thanked them for their service. “As a veteran of the Navy, I know the struggles these men face when they discharge from the service,” Patton said. “I appreciate Battle Buddies for their support and dedication to our nation’s veterans who have found themselves in trouble. The organization continues to have my full support in their mission.”

By Yvonne Miller All the U.S. presidential candidates were invited to speak at the 7th Annual Steamboat Institute Freedom Conference, held Aug. 28-29. Dr. Ben Carson, who is currently second in the polls behind Donald Trump for the Republican nomination, accepted and spoke on stage. Presidential candidate Carly Fiorina also shared a brief message via a taped video. Burlington High School 1975 graduate Jennifer Schubert-Akin and her husband Rick Akin co-founded the Steamboat Institute (SI) in 2005. The SI Freedom Conference is held each August in the mountainous setting of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Speakers from throughout the nation are invited to share their expertise on a variety of subjects. Panelists and individual speakers covered topics this year that included effects of global security threats, EPA regulations, healthcare mandates, economic challenges, the cause of the worst financial crisis, debate on legalization of marijuana in Colorado, the founding principles, Millennials’ view of the future, requirements to maintain freedom, and much more. Laura Ingraham, a political radio talk show host and television news contributor, was the keynote speaker at the dinner on
the mountaintop. Parts of some of these discussions will be featured in future stories in the Newsgram. This reporter is sister of Schubert-Akin and attended the conference for the fourth year, seeing firsthand how the event continues to grow. This year the SI chartered a bus to bring interested young people from the Denver area who participated in the conference inside a Freedom Tent with jumbo-trons set up near the Steamboat Grand Hotel where the sold-out conference is held. Candidate Dr. Ben Carson Shares His Thoughts for America Soft-spoken, Carson uses no teleprompter and speaks deliberately as he shares his thoughts on America, which he said “is still a place of dreams – an exceptional nation.” Carson said some people try to say you are not culturally relevant. “Just look at the pictures at Ellis Island,” he said, describing immigrants who worked 12 and 16 hour days to succeed. “They were working for their sons and daughters and grandsons and granddaughters so they could someday be free to pursue prosperity and success,” he said. “Every one of us is culturally relevant. That’s why we are called the United States of America.” He said, “There are people trying to

The enemies are those who are trying to divide us.” “There’s a war on everything,” Carson said, mentioning a war on women, race, income, religion and more. “Our multiparty system was never intended for people to hate each other. It was intended for people of different philosophies to discuss their differences and strengthen each other because they both love America.” As a child, Carson was raised in poverty. “I hated poverty. We never had money for anything,” he said. “My mother (who had little education) worked so hard from job to job because she never wanted to be on welfare. She was very thrifty. She would go to a farmer’s door and ask to pick food – three for the farmer, one for us.” “Some people say I want to withdraw aid from everyone. That is a total lie,” Carson said.

Construction continues on Alfalfa County Courthouse By Leslie Nation CHEROKEE – Though construction on the Alfalfa County courthouse is behind schedule due to unforeseen issues, it is still moving forward. Tony Hellar gave the weekly maintenance report, stating that electricians will start transferring from temporary to permanent power this week. The process will be done at 7 a.m. when there will be a five-minute shutdown period. Hellar also mention that Luckinbill and Guernsey will meet next Wednesday to discuss issues with construction plans, and requested that at least one of the commissioners be present. After the maintenance report was given, the county commissioners reviewed and approved the travel payroll, M & O warrants, blanket purchase orders and road crossing permits. Only District 3 had any revenue from road crossing permits, and that consisted of one permit with a $3,250 fee.

City of Kiowa to change electricity providers By Yvonne Miller The Kiowa City Council held a special meeting last week to decide who would be the city’s electricity source. Now without an city administrator, Mayor Brandon Farney presided over the meeting with member Bill Watson in attendance by phone and all other members present, including Brian Hill, Tom Wells, Russel Molz and R.L. Simpson. At the regular August meeting, electricity providers from Alfalfa Electric Cooperative (AEC) and Western Farmers Electric Cooperative (WFEC), who currently supply electricity for the city; reps from Kansas electricity pools; and Greg Wright, who the city hired to find power purchase options for Kiowa, all discussed options for over two-and-a-half hours. Several council members told the Newsgram they walked into this special meeting with intentions of staying with WFEC and AEC. However, when they saw the figures Wright provided, the savings for the city changed their mind. As reported at the August meeting, many variables forced WFEC and AEC to
raise rates by 16.3 percent, which would be effective Jan. 1, 2016. Kiowa’s current annual price of $837,836 for electricity would increase to $974,466. Wright provided figures indicating the City of Kiowa could save 20-21 percent annually by joining Energy Management Project (EMP3). Other Kansas cities in the EMP3 pool include Holton, Seneca, Osage City, Burlingame, Horton, Chapman, Jetmore, Neodesha, Sterling, Girard and Wamego. The pool is managed is Kansas Municipal Energy Agency (KMEA). Wright provided comparison figures to the council. If they stayed with WFEC next year the estimated cost would be $251,415.83/year or $21,784.65/month. If the council went with EMP3, Wright said the cost would be $178,248.64/year or $14,854.05/month. The council unanimously approved going with EMP3. The city will have to pay a membership to KMEA before officially joining the pool. A major consideration with changing providers is that the city is responsible for maintenance of the electric equipment. Jason Cloyd, an AEC employee, also contracts with the City of Kiowa to maintain their electrical system. City Clerk Marlo Rugg confirmed the city pays Cloyd $2,900/month or $35,500 per year. He maintains other communities’ electrical systems for AEC as well. He resides in Kiowa with his family and the city is hopeful they can still employ Cloyd. It’s reportedly up to the AEC board. When contacted following the meeting, council members told the
Newsgram why they changed to a new company. Hill said, “We can save some money. There’s lots of variables affecting exactly how much. Lots of cities are moving to power pools. I think it’s going to be beneficial. We’ll still use AEC lines so they will get a wheeling charge.” Molz said, “When I walked in I planned to stay with AEC and WFEC, but it was too big of a savings to stay with them. We were going to have a 16 percent increase. I hope we don’t lose Jason. It kind of worries me to change, but it’s worth it because of the savings for our citizens. When I saw the difference, about $170,000/year, I could not pass up the savings for the community.” Simpson said, “I believe it’s a very good move for the city financially – for our residents to save them money. No one has guaranteed numbers, because it’s all based on the market. With this we have a little more control. I’d love to be able to contract with AEC to keep Jason – he’s wonderful and good for our community. Now we can run our generator as we like. It’s the best thing for our town.” Tom Wells said, “The research figures Greg Wright showed say that we can save 20 percent. That sounds too good to be true. I don’t know how it will turn out, but even if we don’t save that much we won’t have that 16 percent increase Jan 1. I was going to stay with AEC, but had to take this or be irresponsible to our community. I hope we can keep Jason, but we couldn’t base our decision on one person. They (AEC and WFEC) wanted us to run our generator at peak times, now we don’t have to unless we want to.”

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — The Tulsa Airports Improvement Trust and the Bank of Oklahoma’s parent company say they have reached a settlement over the failed Great Plains Airlines. The Tulsa Industrial Authority and the bank sued the airports trust for $15.6 million in 2013, accusing it of breaching contract, the Tulsa World (http://bit.ly/1IDNlFx ) reported. Tulsa had approved a $30 million issue of Industrial Authority bonds for Great Plains in 2000. The Industrial Authority mortgaged Air Force Plant 3 property for the $30 million to loan the airline, and the airports trust, in turn, agreed to purchase the property if the airline defaulted. The bank made the loan in December 2000, allowing Great Plains
began service in April 2001. The airlines then filed for bankruptcy in January 2004. It sold the tax credits for $15 million to a third party and repaid half the money it owed the bank. The airports trust later refused to buy the Air Force Plant 3 property, citing an FAA ruling that said it would illegal diversion of airport revenues since it would amount to a subsidy to an airline, which isn’t allowed. Under the agreement announced Monday, the airports trust will pay more than $1.5 million to the industrial authority and BOK Financial Corp. and BOK will release its mortgage on more than 15 acres of Air Force Plant 3. The airports trust also will con-
tribute $125,000 to the Tulsa Regional Chamber’s airport development efforts over five years. “We regret that errors made in 2000 by TAIT in structuring the transaction led to this long legal battle,” Tulsa Airport Improvement Trust Chairwoman Mary Smith said in a statement. “We appreciate BOK, its leadership, and its commitment to the Tulsa community.” President and CEO Steven G. Bradshaw of BOK Financial Corp. said the settlement would “pave the way for the future economic growth of our region.” “Now Bank of Oklahoma, TAIT, and the city’s leadership can continue to work together for the sake of our great city,” Bradshaw said.

Carson
free 13 week program to help people learn how to live. Of the people who did that, 70 percent were off government assistance in a year.“I want to lift people up and make them part of the fabric of America,” Carson said. “We can’t waste any of our talent. We (America) only have 330 million people and China has over a billion. We have to compete with them.” Carson and his wife Candy started Carson Reading Rooms to encourage reading and make it fun for children with prizes and other incentives. He said, “70 to 80 percent of high school dropouts are functionally illiterate.” He added, “Reading changes the trajectory of their lives.” “The government thinks they are compassionate, but they have not been successful,” Carson said. Since President Johnson’s war on poverty in the 1960s, Carson said there are 10 times more people on food stamps, more poverty and people on welfare, more incarceration and more broken families. “Everything is not only worse, but much worse,” he said. “We are giving away our values and principles – all for the sake of political correctness, which is absolutely destroying our nation. We’re also destroying the future for our youth by putting enormous debt on the backs of our young people.” Carson addressed the “fiscal gap,” which he described as unfunded liabilities we owe, such as social security, Medicare, Medicaid and many other government programs. It’s those programs versus the tax revenue coming in to fund them. Those numbers should be identical and they are not, he said. “That’s what our real financial condition is. No one will talk about the fiscal gap. I will because I’m not a politician.” Carson said that fiscal gap is over $200,000 trillion. “We are in huge financial trouble, but we don’t think we are because we can print money.” He said that Forbes magazine and economists came out and openly agreed with him, surprising his critics. “No debt is acceptable at this point. The government is way too big and we need to reduce it.” Carson suggests not replacing retiring government workers for four years. “Then we’ll have about the right size government.” “Our vets are treated horribly,” he
said, vowing that will be taken care of if he is president. He is currently an emeritus professor of neurosurgery and more at the Johns Hopkins Medical Center where he was head of pediatric neurosurgery for 39 years. Carson has for years served on boards of corporations like Kellogg, Cosco and bio-tech companies. “I’ve had business experience,” he said. “I know what efficiency looks like. The American people deserve efficient government,” Carson said. Regarding business, Carson said they’ve got to get rid of the strangling regulations. He said every regulation cost money to the middle and lower classes. “It’s craziness,” he said. “No, no, the rich people don’t have too much money. It’s regulations that are driving prices that they have to pay.” He added,“It was never intended for the federal government to be involved in every aspect of our lives.” He said the promise of free higher education and other such programs is not feasible. “It’s driving that fiscal gap and accelerating the financial collapse of the nation,” he said. “If I were trying to destroy this country,” Carson said, he would drive wedges between all people; drive debt to unsustainable levels; provide free education, free phones; weaken the military; get good generals to retire; take the navy to the lowest levels since 1917; the Air Force to the lowest levels since 1940; a Marine Corps not combat ready; push people not to reenlist; and have the worst VA system imaginable so nobody would want to join. “This shows you we’re in trouble. This is America – a nation with a can-do attitude which we are replacing with a what-canyou-do-for-me attitude. We must think ahead,” the doctor said. “As a pediatric neurosurgeon, I was always looking out for the next generation and their quality of life.” He said America needs to upgrade its electric grid and build the space program. “Whoever controls space will control the earth,” Carson said. “We have enemies who want to destroy us.” In a question and answer session, when asked how the surgeon would operate on America, he said, “Cut out all the pork,” which brought laughter. He said the budget must be cut by at least two
to three percent for next year. When asked, he said Social Security would have been okay if we hadn’t stolen from it. He described how it’s become like a Ponzi Scheme. Carson favors allowing people to opt out of social security in lieu of tax credits, but not affect anyone age 55 or older. On immigration, he said there is no penalty and so much drug trafficking. He’s listened to farmers’ stories of terror. He suggests, “No goodies – no want to come.” Carson said immigrants can have no citizenship and can’t vote “until they do it the right way. They have to go to the back of the line to get citizenship.” He realizes immigrants impact the American economy and said, “Our farming and hotel industry would collapse without them.” He favors the Second Amendment and said he would protect rights of citizens to bear arms. On foreign policy he said American leaders need to be proactive, not reactive to what other countries do. “The jihadists want to destroy us and Israel,” Carson said. “We need to make them lose by taking their land.” In closing he said, “We the people must be involved, stand up, because freedom is not free. It must be fought for. We must be wise and brave.” He said to look at the people who went before us and what they were willing to fight and die for. “If we do it, we will have one nation under God.”
