Kiowa’s CROP Walk raises $1400 so far, donations still accepted Local food bank receives 25 percent of the contributions
By Yvonne Miller Sunday morning was as beautiful as the idea behind the purpose of the CROP Walk: “ending hunger one step at a time” through Church World Service. By the time 41 walkers gathered on Main Street in Kiowa Sunday afternoon it was unseasonably warm. That didn’t stop the group of men, women, teens, children and pets from following the CROP Walk path around the brick streets of Kiowa. Organizer Judy Schrock said

the walkers collected $1,405 in contributions as of Sunday. Of the monetary collections, 25 percent will be returned to the South Barber Ministerial Alliance food bank in Kiowa. You can still donate to this cause to feed the hungry by contacting Judy Schrock until Sunday, Nov. 8. Beginning in 1947, CROP was an acronym for the Christian Rural Overseas Program. Under the wing of Church World Service, CROP’s mission was to help Midwest farm families share their grain with hungry neighbors in post-World War II Europe and Asia. CROP reportedly outgrew the acronym, but retains the historic name. Now, CROP Hunger Walks help to provide food and water, as well as
resources that empower people to meet their own needs. From seeds and tools, to wells and water systems, to technical training and micro-enterprise loans, the key is people working together to identify their own development priorities, their strengths and their needs – something CWS has learned through some 68 years of working in partnership around the world. Usually at the CROP Walk, organizer Carra Mayberry is front and center. Due to illness that will have her out of commission for a few months, she couldn’t attend. Schrock said the entire group of walkers wishes Mayberry well and prays for a speedy recovery. Kiowa youth walker Grace Cantrell’s name was drawn to receive a pair of TOMS shoes. For every pair of shoes purchased, TOMS gives a pair of their new shoes to a child in need.

Lynn Says
Fascinating article about bail bond practices: Court by court, lawyers fight policies that fall heavily on the poor By the New York Times CLANTON, Alabama — In January, Christy Dawn Varden was arrested in a Walmart parking lot, charged with shoplifting and three other misdemeanors, and taken to jail. There, she was told that if she had $2,000, she could post bail and leave. If she did not, she would wait a week before seeing a judge. Ms. Varden, who lived with her mother and two children, had serious mental and physical health problems; her only income was her monthly food stamp allotment. Two days later, a civil rights lawyer named Alec Karakatsanis sued on behalf of Ms. Varden, alleging that bail policies in Clanton, a city of 8,619, discriminated against the poor by imprisoning them while allowing those with money to go free. The response was quick: Clanton, while defending its policies, told the court that defendants would be able to see a judge within 48 hours. Within a

couple of months, the city agreed to release most misdemeanor defendants immediately, without their posting bail. Markeisha Brown, 25, was in the home she shares with Dominick Torrence and her two sons in Baltimore. While Mr. Torrence was incarcerated with bail set at $250,000, Ms. Brown had to stop working and drop out of school. When Bail Is Out of Defendant’s Reach, Other Costs Mount Judges Replacing Conjecture With Formula for Bail Donyelle Hall’s arrest on a drunken driving charge in December 2013 set off an 18-month ordeal involving court trips and jail time, though she committed no new crimes.Probation May Sound Light, but Punishments Can Land Hard Since then, Mr. Karakatsanis has sued six additional jurisdictions in four different states, representing single mothers, homeless men and people with mental disabilities, all who would have been free but for some ready cash. His novel legal strategy has proved effective: So far five of the cities have changed their policies. The suits, which are now being replicated around the country, have won support from the federal Justice Department and rulings that endorse his assertion that the money bail system is unfair to the poor. There are many more Clantons among the nation’s 15,000 trial courts, civil rights lawyers say, and the key to broad change lies with state and local governments. So courthouse by courthouse, groups as small as Equal Justice Under Law, founded by Mr. Karakatsanis and a fellow Harvard Law School graduate, Phil Telfeyan, and as large as the American Civil Liberties Union are waging a guerrilla campaign to reverse what they consider unconstitutional but widespread practices that penalize the poor. These include jail time for failure to pay fines, cash and property seizure in the absence of crim-
inal charges, and the failure to provide competent lawyers. More often than not, they are winning – and even pebble-size victories can have a large ripple effect. After a handful of lawsuits in Alabama accused a private probation company of using the threat of jail to collect high fees, the company announced last week that it would leave the state. In Ohio, a report from the A.C.L.U. on debtors’ prisonlike practices, which jailed offenders for failing to pay fines, helped win changes without legal action. In Washington State, a similar report on four counties led to changes in three; this month, the A.C.L.U. sued the fourth, Benton County, saying it still refused to assess people’s ability to pay fines before jailing them. Last week, the organization filed another debtors’ prison case against Biloxi, Miss. “I don’t think we have to sue all of them,” said Nusrat Choudhury, a staff lawyer with the A.C.L.U.’s racial justice program. “What we’re trying to do with these two cases is show that there’s a nationwide recognition.” Fred Smith Jr., a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley, said the sustained focus had started to sway federal judges who were normally hesitant to intervene in local courts. “Now that federal courts are exposed to how bad things have gotten in so many jurisdictions, I think that federal judges are shocked and want to do something about it,” Mr. Smith said. But judges’ power is limited. Because the cities in the bail cases have backed down rather than fighting it out in court, there have been no appeals and thus no opportunity for higher courts, whose rulings would apply more broadly, to weigh in. “It’s something I think about every day,” Mr. Karakatsanis said. “The legal system doesn’t have any magic cure.”

Allen retires from Burlington School Board, property purchased Two seats open on school board in February 9 election; Elks basketball begins next Tuesday By Yvonne Miller At the Burlington Board of Education meeting Oct. 19, longtime board member Roger Allen submitted his letter of resignation. The other board members regretfully accepted Allen’s resignation, effective Oct. 20. The board thanked him for his 10 years of service. All members were present as board president Terry Graham called the meeting to order, including Allison Armbruster, Roger Allen and Aaron Smith. Others present were Superintendent Glen Elliott, Principal Shane Feely and Minutes Clerk Tamre Bohn. Board seat No. 1, which is currently held by Graham, is also up for reelection. The board approved a resolution calling for the school board election to be Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2016. If needed, a second election will be Tuesday, April 5. The filing period is Monday, Dec. 7, through Wednesday, Dec. 9, daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Alfalfa County Courthouse in Cherokee. Contest of candidacy petitions may be filed with the county election board until 5 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 11. Due to Internet issues, the board moved their meeting to the library to discuss e-meetings and watch a
presentation given by the Oklahoma Secondary School Board Association (OSSBA) representative Christy Watson. After brief discussion, the board voted to revisit the item at a future meeting. Board members want to visit with some other school boards that use the e-meeting format. Shannon and Taylor Shrum joined the meeting at 9 p.m. The board voted to accept the contract to buy the real estate property known as 307 Main St. in Burlington. The board also accepted the residential lease with the Shrums who reside there as written with the exclusion of No. 13 on the same property. The contract and lease were executed by all parties. The Shrums left the meeting at 9:15 p.m. Following about an hour-and-a-half executive session later in the meeting to discuss the acquisition of real estate, the board authorized Superintendent Elliott to continue pursuing the acquisition of real property. A new sub-account in the activity fund was approved by the board for the BHS Robotics organization, sponsored by science teacher Jennifer Newlin. This is a somewhat new organization that is nationwide. The group builds robots and they have a “Game Day” competition at NWOSU. The board approved the following
items: the agriculture education contract for the ongoing vocational program for the 2015-2016 school year; the September activity report; a resolution authorizing the issuance of non-payable warrants at an interest rate not to exceed 8 percent, if necessary; a resolution authorizing the treasurer to borrow money from various funds of the school district which cannot at that particular time be used for the purpose which it is intended; authorize and direct the treasurer to invest those monies as authorized; to reinvest from time to time as funds are available, and to deposit the interest derived from such investments from monies from the general, building and bond funds to be deposited into the Building Fund Account and interest from monies from the Child Nutrition Fund be deposited into the Child Nutrition Fund. The board approved the following encumbrances, change orders and warrants for 2016: General Fund – encumbrances $30,338.37, change orders -$577.28, warrants $217,370.34; Reserves – Warrants $2,630.90; Child Nutrition Fundn – encumbrances $8.60, warrants $7,460.57. The 2015-2016 Estimate of Needs was board approved as follows: General Fund – $4,621,480.57; Building Fund – $582,338.99; Child Nutrition Fund – $58,226.64. This list will be sent to the County Excise Board for certification. A bid of $5,500.00 from Feely Dozer was board approved for demolition of the house at 401 Poplar. That is the old Daughhetee house behind the school. The Elks basketball season begins next Tuesday, Nov. 3, as they host Freedom. With the basketball season starting, the board discussed sportsmanship of players, coaches, administrators, teachers, parents and fans, with all being encouraged to display good sportsmanship, and to be good hosts at home games, and good guests at away games. The board received quotes for new

later moved to Ulysses, Kansas, where he helped his mother operate a restaurant. His reputation for red convertibles was legendary. During his youth he owned eight convertibles, seven of which were red including his prized 1960 Corvette. In 1962 Roy was hired by Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company in Ulysses, Kansas. He transferred to Alva in May 1966, where he worked until his retirement in January 1993. In 1963 he and Helen Shaw were united in marriage. To this union three children were born, Greg, Ricky and Marissa. Throughout his lifetime, in addition to working for PEPL, Roy worked part time for various gas stations in Kansas and Alva, enjoyed helping Vernie Hackney and Norman Schaffer in harvest, worked at the Sonic, Bike’s Burger Bar, Vista Diner, Value Added Products, and cooked at the Boulevard Bistro where he became known for his pie baking skills. For the past several months, he worked on the Tuesday night Newsgram crew, where he enjoyed a special camaraderie with his fellow workers. Roy loved to tease people, especially his grandkids and those he considered friends. He loved telling stories of him and a friend who had a paper route in Taylor. A neighbor baked pies every week and sat them in the open window to cool. He and his friend would swipe one of the fresh baked pies and wolf it down. After he became an adult, he learned she placed one on that window especially for the two neighbor boys. He loved being around young people, serving as youth sponsor for several years at the Alva Assembly of God Church. He later volunteered as a Chaplain’s Assistant
at Bill Johnson Correctional Center where he found fulfillment in helping trainees. He was an avid fan of the Oklahoma City Thunder. He loved doing woodworking, having made three grandfather clocks, a dining table, a china cabinet and many shelves and sconces. His yard and garden were always a source of pride for him. He loved fishing, especially deep sea fishing. When fishing with his father-in-law in Kansas, he hooked a large walleye that he fought for several minutes before getting it in the boat. After safely securing the 7 lb. 14 oz. fish, he looked up and discovered the dam was on the wrong side of the lake. During the fight, the fish pulled Roy and the boat behind the buoys marking protected waters. Roy was also well known for his lack of skill in painting. Usually, more than the intended object ended up with a coat of paint. Roy was preceded in death by his parents; one sister Nellimae Harner; one brother, Jim Barrett, his father-in-law, Rev. Jesse Shaw, and a grandson, Braxton Tyler Hofen. His survivors include his wife, Helen, of the home; two sons Rev. Greg Barrett and his wife, Tica, of Marco Island, Florida; Rev. Rick Barrett and his wife, Chondra, of Vinita; a daughter, Marissa Hofen and her husband Brian of Dacoma; nine grandchildren, Jesse Barrett, Marissa Barrett and Madeline Barrett of Florida; Tayler Barrett, Chase Barrett and Kayla Barrett of Kansas and Oklahoma; Madison Hofen, Braden Hofen and Brooks Hofen of Dacoma. He is also survived by two sisters, Darlene Howe and her husband,

HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS FOR KIDS & TEENS Kids love Halloween! They get to dress up and get free candy! What a perfect holiday! Give your kids some precious Halloween memories that they'll have for life. Some of you kids already know things that you can do to be safe, like how to cross the street, not to talk to or go with strangers and things like that. But we adults know how exciting Halloween can be and that can make you forget to be careful. Never, ever go into a strangers house or even ring their door for treats unless your parents are with you and say that it's okay. There are some people in life that aren't very nice to kids and you have to be careful. Always make sure that your mom or dad is within sight when you go out trick-or-treating. Be careful when you cross a street. Make sure to look in both directions and make sure that there are no cars coming. If you have a little brother or sister with you, take their hand and help them get across the street, too. If the street has a stop light, wait until the cross walk light tells you that it's okay to cross now, but still check before you cross, look both ways. If you are an older kid or young teen, and going out with friends, make sure that your parents know where you are going and who you are going with. This may seem like a pain but they are your parents and they love you. They just want you to be safe. If you can drive and are taking a bunch of friends to a party, make sure that you have enough gas to get there. You don't want to run out on a dark street, all alone, like a bad horror movie!
IF YOU PARENTS GIVE YOU A CURFEW, BE HOME WHEN THEY SAY. IT BUILDS TRUST BETWEEN YOU AND THEM AND THEY ARE DOING IT FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY. IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE, CALL THEM AND LET THEM KNOW. VANDALISM IS NEVER COOL! Throwing eggs at cars and houses is not cool.Someone has to clean it up and it could be you, if you get caught. You can also be arrested and punished as a juvenile. So, don't think that it's fun only if you can get away with it. It's never the right thing to do! Hurting animals is never acceptable behavior! Some people use Halloween as an excuse to hurt cats and that is just wrong! Not only is it illegal in most places to hurt or torture animals and punishable by law, you should never hurt a helpless living thing.

Woods County employees to get lower cost health insurance By Lynn L. Martin The Woods County commissioners approved a motion to switch health insurance coverage to OPEH&W Health Plan. The organization, created in 1992, is described as an inter-local government association. The insurance change will be effective Jan. 1, 2016. The health plan falls under the oversight of the Attorney General of Oklahoma, and not the Oklahoma Insurance Department. Commissioner Randy McMurphy said the group consists of 85 total municipal organizations, which includes

33 counties. It can be best described as a “self-insurance group.” There are 14 elected county officials and one non-county member on the board of directors from the participating members. David Hamil of the Woods County commissioners will attend their meetings. He is not one of the 15 on the board. McMurphy said if the county had switched to this plan one year ago, they would have saved about $50,000. Rates will also go down for the spouses of retired employees. He said there will be no lapse in coverage for those in the middle of health care episodes when the switch is made. They authorized Shelley Reed, county clerk, to send a letter to OMES EDIG to cancel the Health Choice county insurance coverage effective Dec. 31, 2015.

Waynoka Proposes Sales Tax Increase By Lynn L. Martin The City of Waynoka has proposed ordinance No. 2015-800 which provides for the levy and collection of a one percent sales (excise) tax upon the gross proceeds or receipts derived from all taxable sales covered by Oklahoma law. If passed, at the November 10, 2015 special election, the ordinance will go into effect January 1, 2016 and continue until repealed.
The ballot says the money will be used for tourism development, including, but not limited to, the purchases or leasing of real or personal property; construction or rehabilitation of buildings and other capital improvements, and as a source for matching funds for state, federal or other grants. Also, the ballot wording provides permission for the monies to be used for activities, festivals, events and other related purposes.

Challenges abound for US kids who’ve had a parent in prison
Winner Mary Shklar displayed Miss America quality fitness in that portion of the contest. Photo by Rachel Davis.
By David Crary Three years ago, the little girl would hide under a table when confronted with reminders that both her parents were in prison. Now almost 10, she's a confident, popular student, and ace recruiter for the program that helped her, says Daniel Howell, a case manager for New Hope Oklahoma. It offers after-school programs, weekend retreats and summer camps for about 500 Oklahoma children annually who have parents behind bars. Nationwide, there are few comparable programs, despite a vast pool of children who might benefit. Child Trends, a research organization, released a report Tuesday estimating that 5 million U.S. children have had at least one parent imprisoned — about one in every 14 children under 18. For black children, the rate was one in nine, the report said. The report was based on data from the 2011-12 National Survey of Children's Health — a phone survey sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that collected input from parents and other caregivers. Experts who study these children, or work with them, say parental incarceration is distinguished from other childhood woes by a mix of shame, stigma and trauma. Research indicates that many of the children face increased risk of problems with behavior, academics, self-esteem and substance abuse — in some cases resulting in criminality passed from one generation to the next. Echoing recommendations by other groups, Child Trends said prison systems, schools and communities could do more to support these children. Suggestions include improving communications between parent and child, making prison visits less stressful, and educating school teachers on how they can help affected children overcome stigma. "Progress has been slow," said Child Trends researcher David Murphey, the report's lead author. "This is a vulnerable group of kids that is often hidden from public view. We need to pay more attention." In some places, that's happening. Washington state has won plaudits for establishing child-friendly visiting areas in all its prisons; so has a program in southeast Michigan that facilitates playful, 2-hour
visits between imprisoned parents and their kids. As for New Hope Oklahoma, it has grown steadily over two decades while relying entirely on private donations, and there's now a waiting list for its programs. Oklahoma has one of the nation's highest incarceration rates; a task force calculated that on any given day, 26,000 Oklahoma children have a parent in prison. "These children face ostracism among their peers because of it — despite the fact that the child is totally not at fault," said New Hope's executive director, Clayton Smith. "They don't speak about it. They don't want anyone to know." The program seeks to foster a camaraderie among the children that encourages them to share experiences and emotions. Daniel Howell, the case manager who works with after-school programs in Tulsa, recalled his encounters with some of the children, whom he could not identify due to privacy policies. "I really want to live with my mom," one boy told him sadly, "and I can't right now." Then there was the girl who entered the program as a 7-year-old and would hide when discomfited. "We'd have to go sit under the table with her to talk to her," Howell said. "Now, she's able to identify her feelings, talk about it really openly with other students," he added. "She's been a top recruiter, telling friends about New Hope and what we do." While New Hope works with children at a distance from prison facilities, Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency's program in Michigan unites children with their incarcerated fathers in jails in Oakland and Wayne counties, plus three state prisons. Visiting areas are decorated and stocked with playthings, and music is provided for twice-monthly play-oriented visits for perhaps a half-dozen families at a time. Linda VanderWaal, the agency's associate director for family re-entry, noted that some jails in Michigan don't allow contact visits, while other facilities insist that child visitors remain seated. "It's fine if a dad wants to toss his kid in the air or wrestle on the floor. It's a true

In addition, out of respect for state and local governments, federal courts have long made a habit of avoiding ruling on substantive issues, instead focusing on procedural ones such as whether a plaintiff has standing to sue or whether the officials being sued have immunity. But recently, according to Mr. Smith, the legal scholar, there has been a subtle shift in the other direction. He pointed to a debtors’ prison lawsuit by Equal Justice against Montgomery, Ala., where a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction to halt arrests for unpaid traffic tickets.Like federal courts, state courts can raise technical hurdles against cases that seek systemic change. For instance, judges rejected the claim of clients who complained that the public defenders’ office in Luzerne County, Pa., was severely underfunded, with a waiting list of several hundred people. Courts said the clients could, if convicted, bring individual claims that their lawyers were not effective, but could not contest the office’s funding level in advance. The State Supreme Court has agreed to review the case. In the bail suits, Equal Justice must find plaintiffs who are already in jail and sue before their first appearance in court, a window of just a few days. In Clanton, where the courtroom was closed to the public, Mr. Karakatsanis obtained a list of recent arrestees from the Police Department and took it to the jail. (This approach does not always work — though he represents clients for no charge, he has been turned away from jails and even accused of a form of ambulance chasing.) He met Ms. Varden, took
her handwritten affidavit and drove to Montgomery to file suit. Shortly after her release, the entire case was threatened when she died unexpectedly, but her family decided to carry on. Mr. Karakatsanis also devised a new legal strategy. The case law on bail has generally relied on the Constitution’s guarantee of due process or its outright ban on excessive bail. Courts have long held that bail decisions must be individualized, based not solely on the crime but the defendant’s history and community ties. Yet they have also said bail is not excessive simply because the accused cannot afford it. Mr. Karakatsanis took a different tack, using the Equal Protection Clause to argue that the poor cannot be detained for mere want of money if a wealthy person in a similar situation would go free. For strategic reasons, Mr. Karakatsanis has limited his suits to jurisdictions that use a fixed bail schedule regardless of the defendant’s record. Conceptually, though, his target is much broader. “Almost every state law already says that you have to consider a person’s finances when you’re setting bail,” he said. He wants the courts to go one step further and declare, “It’s not just that you have to consider it, it’s that you can’t keep someone in a cage just because they can’t pay.” Cherise Fanno Burdeen, the executive director of the Pretrial Justice Institute and a longtime advocate of bail reform, said Equal Justice had “revitalized the legal arguments” against money bail. “We’ve been working on it from a policy level, trying to change the cul-
Come join family & friends of Jake Brown to celebrate his 90th Birthday November 1st, 2pm-4pm at the Baker Building in Cherokee, Oklahoma
ture of jails,” Ms. Burdeen said. “But a legal strategy of suing about these issues hasn’t been something that people have figured out how to do for decades.” So far, judges have bought in. “Justice that is blind to poverty and indiscriminately forces defendants to pay for their physical liberty,” Myron H. Thompson, a federal judge in Alabama’s Middle District, wrote in the Clanton case, “is no justice at all.” Equal Justice has used the Clanton case as a template, working with local legal groups to identify plaintiffs and bring cases against two St. Louis-area cities, Velda City and St. Ann, as well as Moss Point, Miss.; Ascension Parish, La.; Dothan, Ala.; and, most recently, Calhoun, Ga., which has yet to respond to the suit. In Clanton, the Justice Department filed a statement of interest saying “any bail or bond scheme that mandates payment of prefixed amounts for different offenses in order to gain pretrial release, without any regard for indigence, not only violates the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause, but also constitutes bad public policy.” Vanita Gupta, the Justice Department’s top civil rights prosecutor, said the department filed such statements not only to clarify the law, but also to signal its priorities. Though Clanton is small, she said, the statement was intended to be used in similar suits elsewhere. “It adds momentum to an area that has much greater focus today than it did 10 years ago,” she said. The settlements that Equal Justice has reached, however, present another problem: enforceability. Time and again, governments large and small have failed to follow through on their agreements, leading in some cases to renewed legal battles. That has happened even in large, closely watched cases with court-appointed monitors, something the bail settlements do not have. “What I really worry about,” Mr. Karakatsanis said, “is if you don’t have a lot of people there to enforce it, they’ll just find less blatant ways to do the same thing.”

play date." When the program started 12 years ago, some corrections officials were hesitant, she said, but the wariness dissipated as they saw how participating parents adjusted more positively after they were released. According to federal statistics, only about 42 percent of incarcerated parents with children under 18 get visits from those children. Long distances are a deterrent: A new report by the Prison Policy Initiative calculates that 63 percent of state prison inmates are confined more than 100 miles from their families, often requiring a full day just to make a brief visit. The issue of children's visits is complicated. Some children are frightened by the prison setting and rigorous security procedures, yet there's also a wealth of evidence that many are reassured when they can see and hug an incarcerated parent. Groups advocating for these children urge corrections officials to ensure that visiting protocols, including processing and
searches, are child-friendly. In Maryland, a veteran advocate says it's a challenge bracing children for the visitation policy at the Frederick County Adult Detention Center. They talk to their jailed parent by phone from behind a glass partition. After 14 years of advocacy work, Ostrow Scher remains struck by the plight of the children she serves. "If your parent is a soldier overseas, everyone says, 'Oh, you're brave,'" she said. "When your parent is in prison, it's the same issue of loss and separation, and in neither case did the kid sign up for this. But you're not viewed in the same heroic way." Among the states, Washington has been at the forefront of efforts to enhance bonds between incarcerated parents and their children. Jody Becker-Green, a deputy secretary of Washington's corrections department, says one goal is to break the intergenerational cycle by minimizing the emotional
damage to children whose parents are imprisoned. Unlike most states, Washington has a child-friendly visiting area in each of its 12 state prisons — supplied with books and games, cartoon characters painted on the walls. In another innovation, the corrections department inaugurated a three-day summer camp in June for children of inmates, with department personnel serving as counselors. Applications for spots at the camp were submitted by the imprisoned parents themselves, and Becker-Green said there were plenty of tears at the camp's closing ceremony when children read portions of those applications in which the mothers and fathers expressed devotion to their kids. One of the camp staffers, Bea Giron, recounted how a camper said she wouldn't want people to know she had a parent in prison. The girl was asked why.

Deer season: time to be on alert It is time for the fall movement of deer. This means there will be more deer on the roadway. • Beware of deer in the late evening and early morning, although deer can move anytime. • Deer in Woods County can be seen anywhere, not just around creek beds. About six deer a year are hit in Alva city limits. • If you see a deer crossing the road slow, down, honk your horn and flash your lights. Especially slow down in the early morning and late evening. • If you are about to hit a deer, the best thing to do is just hit the animal.
Most bad accidents are from people trying to avoid an accident and losing control. • If you hit a deer it is best to report it even if you do not want the accident worked. Records are kept as to how many deer are hit. • Keep in mind it is illegal to keep any part of a road kill, not legal means of taking. You can keep the deer if you are the one who hit the deer and get written permission to do so from any law enforcement agency. The season limit for deer is six. All can be does. So take a doe and if you do not want the meat consider the hunters
against hunger program or give it to some needy family. The generous rain this year left a large amount of grass, which in turn left a fire danger. All landowners should advise their hunters to use caution when driving across tall grass so not to cause a grass fire. Remember to check rules for deer and turkey. Turkeys must be checked state-wide, fall and spring season Be careful and enjoy the outdoors. To report violations or for questions call Terry Swallow at 580-430-5158.

Ex-Planet Fitness worker admits fraud in sale of 1,800 iPads CONCORD, N.H. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New Hampshire authorities say a former systems engineer for Planet Fitness has pleaded guilty to bilking the company out of more than $920,000 by using company funds to buy iPads that he then sold. Acting U.S. Attorney Donald Feith (feeth) said Tuesday that 31-year-old Nicholas Selby submitted invoices to the New Hampshire company from November 2013 to March 2015 that falsely described the items purchased. Selby bought more than 1,800 iPads, took delivery himself then sold them to companies in Rexburg, Idaho and Lawton, Oklahoma. The scam unraveled when another Planet Fitness employee took a call about a legitimate iPad order that led to a discussion about Selby's orders. Formerly of Madbury, Selby now lives in Snellville, Georgia. He faces up to 20 years in prison and fines on the mail fraud conviction.
