Alva Girl Scouts celebrate Halloween Alva Girl Scouts braved a tour of Woodward’s haunted trail, Nightmare in the Country. After waiting in line for about an hour thoroughly priming the fears in each of them, it was the scouts’ turn to enter. After much jumping and screaming, laughing and crying, the scouts finally exited the first trail to wait in line for another 45 minutes to enter the second trail. The scouts were feeling pretty good afterward that they survived in one piece. Woodward’s haunted trail, Nightmare

Lynn Says

Nice Chamber of Commerce banquet By Lynn L. Martin The Alva Chamber of Commerce put together the first annual “banquet” in a long time, which happened on Thursday, Nov. 5. Many deserving Alva citizens received awards, including one to the Alva Review-Courier. Clearly, a most deserving award went to 2015 Citizen of the Year Todd Holder. Writer Helen Barrett did a terrific job of outlining the achievements of each winner that was published in Sunday’s Alva Review-Courier. Her description of Todd’s award told of the extraordinary effort put forth to get Todd to attend the event. He was out of town to attend a Department of Corrections board meeting, of which he is a member. Had the

weather not been flyable, he wouldn’t have made it in time. The family finally deceived Todd a bit by telling him that his dad, Jim, was going to get the award and surely he wouldn’t want to miss that. Bill Johnson Correctional Center Warden Janice Melton did the honors in presenting the award and describing Todd’s many achievements. EMT of the Year was Crystal Avilla. She has been an emergency medical technician for more than 15 years, getting her start at Share Medical Center. Crystal started part-time for the Alva ambulance service in 2007. She also teaches CPR and first aid classes in the community. The 2015 Law Enforcement Officer of the Year was awarded to Alva Police Officer Ron Vasquez. Ron has been an Alva police officer for the past nine years, and for the last two years served as a public school resource officer. Prior to the start of the gala, Vasquez admitted that he intended the Alva job being a short term position. However after living here for nine years, he plans to stay here for the rest of his life. The Chamber of Commerce Arts and Music Award went to the Graceful Arts Gallery and Studios for their efforts to increase the arts experience in Alva. The concept of the Graceful Arts Center was developed and implemented by Alva native Dr. Peggy Wisdom. Dr. Kay Decker accepted the award from Mayor Kelly Parker. Decker insisted that her staff stand be recognized with her. The 2015 Fireman of the Year award was presented to Alva Fire Chief Kirk Trekell. Trekell began his firefighting career as a member of the volunteer squad in 1986. He became a full-time firefighter in 1995, and moved to full-time in 1995. He became assistant fire chief in 2006, and moved to the chief’s position in 2007. Mayor Kelly Parker, praising Trekell’s leadership, said, “We have one of the best ISO ratings in the state. This new rating may soon show up as a reduction in insurance premiums.” Dr. Larry Smith was honored as Health Care Professional of the Year. Besides being a long-time dentist in our community, Dr. Smith has been active in numerous service clubs such as Jaycees, Rotary and the annual Big Cruise and Car Show. He enjoys hi-tech drag racing on weekends.

The Teacher of the Year award went to Paul Hamilton, a fifth-grade teacher at Lincoln School in Alva. Kelly Parker, in announcing the award, said Paul Hamilton is credited with starting many programs such as the Math-a-Thon, which raises thousands of dollars for the school each year. Parker said, “He has been a good sport for having put himself in situations for any type of challenge (such as pie in the face) to spur the students to meet goals.” Freddie Brown was honored as Volunteer of the Year mainly for his work at the Cherokee Strip Museum. However Freddie is an important cog in the smooth running Kiwanis Little Olympics and serves on numerous committees at the First United Methodist Church. Brown also has the fun job of finding enough convertibles to transport the Miss Cinderella Candidates each year for the annual NWOSU homecoming parade. The Alva Review-Courier owners Lynn and Marione Martin received the Alva Business of the Year award. Marione serves as the newspaper’s editor, bookkeeper, writer, often layout editor, proofreader and many other positions. The Martins publish the Friday and Sunday editions of the Alva Review-Courier in addition to the weekly Newsgram. Helen Barrett (we appreciate Helen writing nicer things than we would have written) wrote, “Under their ownership and guidance, the paper they bought out of bankruptcy many years ago became an award-winning newspaper. While the Alva Review-Courier had the distinction of being the smallest daily newspaper in Oklahoma, and the third smallest in the nation, they received the coveted Oklahoma Press Association Sequoyah Award recognizing it as the top in its category. The newspaper also received the OPA’s Blooper Award for abutting headlines that read, ‘Mayor wins bar fight.’” Even Jay Leno shared that inadvertent spacing with the entire nation on his late night show. “Just recently, Lynn was approached by the OPA Director Mark Thomas about rescuing the historic Freedom Call. Although being a newspaper magnate was not really on his radar screen, he agreed to purchase the newspaper to prevent it from becoming extinct.”

Veterans Day program at Obituary Medicine Lodge to honor ‘The Greatest Generation’ 70 year anniversary of the end of World War II By Yvonne Miller World War II veterans were deemed “the greatest generation” in a best selling book by Tom Brokaw. At the Veterans Day program at Medicine Lodge Wednesday, World War II veterans will be honored. Veterans Day Coordinator Lesley Hill, K-6th grade counselor at Medicine Lodge, is excited they have 19 World War II veterans from the area who plan to attend the program that is at 1:15 p.m.,Wednesday, at Medicine Lodge High School. Hill said those veterans will be honored with a medal. The theme of their Veterans Day program is, “Seventy years later – Honoring the Greatest Generation.” This year, 2015, marks the 70 anniversary of the end of World War II, which was Sept. 2, 1945. Medicine Lodge School Board of Education president Bud Moore will serve as master of ceremonies. A veteran, Moore served in the U.S. Navy from 1963-67. Students will make a variety of presentations from music to poetry readings at the program.

Hill said all veterans are invited to gather for lunch at the grade school at 11 a.m. She asks that veterans call ahead so the cooks will have an accurate number of how many people for which they’ll prepare. Call 620886-5608 Tuesday. On Sept. 2 of this year, United States Secretary of State John Kerry released a statement to the press regarding the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. An excerpt from that statement follows: “I join President Obama and the American people in reflecting on today’s 70th anniversary of the end of World War II in the Pacific theater. “As we recall the war’s devastating toll and mourn those lost on all sides, we also remember the gallantry of our American men and women in uniform who, alongside their allied partners, courageously served in combat across the Pacific Ocean and Asian continent. We are humbled by their heroism, and we owe them our unending gratitude. We also honor and respect the sacrifices made by the citizens of so many nations during the war.”

Sod House Museum to host talk on cemetery symbols The “History of Cemetery Symbols” will be presented at the Sod House Museum Saturday, Nov. 21, at 10 a.m. Luann Sewell Waters will present an overview of gravestone images and symbols so attendees can better understand their significance and history. Cemetery symbols express characters, figures, motifs and patterns. While many of these can reflect religious affiliation, they may provide insight regarding how a person lived prior to death. This includes determining their affiliation within society, status, personality, religious identification and association membership. Waters will present a slide presentation showing attendees the language of cemetery symbols and how to interpret them. Participants will receive a printout of symbols and are encouraged to ask question following the presentation. Preregistration is required. The Sod House Museum is operated by the Oklahoma Historical Society and located southeast of Aline on State Highway 8. It is open Tuesday through Saturday 9-5 a.m. with admission.

Border Line Theatre November auditions for comedy in February/March Five Southern women share lifetime relationships in `The Dixie Swim Club’ By Yvonne Miller If you want to be part of a five member all-female cast that presents a hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that last forever, you’ll want to audition for Border Line Theatre’s early spring production. Audition dates are Saturday, Nov. 21, 6-7 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 22, 1-2:30 p.m., at the Kiowa (Kansas) Community Building. Border Line presents “The Dixie Swim Club,” in February/March 2016. Play dates are: Feb. 27 and 28; March 5 and 6. The dinner theatre performances are on those Saturday nights, Feb. 27 and March 5, with dinner starting at 6:30 p.m. The 2 p.m. matinees are those Sunday afternoons, Feb. 28 and March 6. The play tells the story of five Southern women whose friendships

began many years ago on their college swim team. The women set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships. Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other’s lives. The Dixie Swim Club focuses on four of those weekends, spanning a period of 33 years. Each woman has a distinct personality – the organizer with a “perfect life;” the wisecracking overachiever; the pampered, outspoken woman with a list of ex-husbands who is searching for eternal youth; the often apologetic character who has a chaotic family life and an abundance of hard luck; and the sweet, naïve eager-to-please woman. As their lives

unfold in the passing years, the women increasingly rely on one another, often with advice and disorderly humor, to overcome challenges such as men, sex, marriage, parenting, divorce and aging. The women capitalize on the teamwork they had as a college swim team that gives them strength and love to get through an unforeseen tidal wave. This is a play the Border Line audience is going to love. The plot of “Dixie Swim Club” is reminiscent of some favorite productions, borrowing elements from “Steel Magnolias” and “Same Time Next Year” with a dash of “Designing Women” and a pinch of “Evening Shade.” “The Dixie Swim Club” was written by Nicholas Hope, Jamie Wooten and Jessie Jones.

Veteran Lawrence Conrad and daughter rave about Kansas Honor Flight By Yvonne Miller Visiting with veteran Lawrence Conrad at age 84, you can see and hear that he a survivor. He survived serving in the Korean War – making and delivering bunkers into the line of enemy artillery fire as well as checking for land mines – he raised a family and worked hard all his life – and survived three strokes and open heart surgery. Because of those illnesses, his voice is not strong as it once was and sometimes it’s difficult to get the words out, although he knows exactly what he’s saying. “I was lucky that I didn’t get killed,” Conrad said of his time in Korea from 1951-53. A member of the U.S. Army, he became a sargent. He still has some army buddies from those days and remembers his friends that didn’t make it. In many cases those soldiers were killed by napalm bombs. “It wasn’t fun,” Conrad said several times during this interview of the time he served. But, he wanted to serve his country. “I wanted to go because all my buddies were going,” Conrad recalled of being age 20 when he joined the service. Conrad is a lifelong resident of Kiowa, Kan., where he continues to reside in his own home. His daughter Brenda (Conrad) Dirks, a schoolteacher in Medicine Lodge, Kansas, decided her dad should go on one of the Kansas Honor Flights to Washington D.C. “I had to persuade Dad to go,” Dirks said. Once he agreed, she sent the information and heard back from them within an hour. “Working with the honor flight people was amazing,” she said. A month later Conrad received a letter confirming he and a chaperone were approved to join the Kansas Honor Flight Oct 21-23. The Honor Flight staff is “more than accommodating” Dirks said. She was especially impressed with how well the group is organized. They shipped

Marisa’s Missives

School suspension for being autistic By Marisa Dye At breakfast last Friday morning, my fork paused mid-air when my 13-year-old Autistic son mentioned that he had to fill out a bullying report at school. When I asked why, he gave me the summary version (as we all had places to be that morning): a boy grabbed his shoulders, painfully rolling and pinching the flesh, continuing after my son asked him to stop. Plus a girl threw my son’s own salad in his applesauce and on him at lunch the previous day at school. I composed a quick email to the principal at Ponca City’s West Middle School, asking that the students who attacked my son be held accountable. One of the principal’s replies stated that I needed to get the “whole story” from my middle schooler. This weekend, I got the complete story according to my son. Before I share it, let me first explain one of the challenges people with Autism face. Individuals with autism have social skills deficits that make them frequent targets of bullies. They have trouble understanding the “intentions of others and understanding what others are feeling and thinking.” Worse, they often, “take comments literally instead of understanding the underlying and, perhaps, unkind message” (http:// www.iidc.indiana.edu/pages/Bullying-andStudents-on-the-Autism-Spectrum). Back to the story: On Wednesday, “Joe,” we’ll call him, my son’s attacker at lunch on Thursday, evidently told my 13-yearold boy that “75 percent of rape starts by a hand on the shoulder” was a “joke.” Being autistic, my son took the statement that this was a joke literally.

When my son repeated what he thought a “joke” the next day at the lunch table, “Beth”, upon hearing it, apparently threw my son’s food on him. And not only did “Joe” squeeze my son painfully on his shoulders, but the same was also done to both of his sides and he was apparently choked (my son demonstrated with both hands on his own neck) Thursday at lunch. I asked my son several times about how he responded and reacted to what these students did. He said that he did not lay hands on Joe or Beth, but instead asked Joe to stop, and when he didn’t, stood up and tried to get away, but Joe followed him. He was not provided more food to replace the applesauce and salad the girl rendered inedible. Meanwhile, my son’s band instructor emailed to compliment his behavior and effort in band. Later, he asked why I thought my young trombone player “wasn’t focused at all in band. He was playing when he shouldn’t have been, not paying attention, not sitting up, and not playing with good fundamentals that he usually shows” on Thursday afternoon. When I informed him that my son had been bullied at lunch Thursday, right before he came to band, the instructor replied, “Now I understand.” My 13-year-old also told me about several other bullying incidents that have happened to him this school year. This is a major step in the right direction for him, because when he was bullied in elementary school, he never told me. I’ve had to make very clear to him that I will support him and do whatever I can to stop it. Kids don’t report bullying to adults who do nothing, or

even worse, blame the victim. Unfortunately, blaming the victim seems to be exactly how the school responded. My son was called to the office on Friday (in response to my email, I presume) and told by the principal that he would have consequences for his comment to the girl. Still trying to assume that the principal had the best of intentions, I reported the “whole story” to the principal this Monday morning, figuring he either didn’t have all the details or was not educated about the social skills deficits related to autism. I shared the same quote as I did earlier in this column with the principal. The administrator responded by giving my son three days of In School Suspension, thus ensuring neither my son nor I will want to report any further attacks. Yes, the bullying victim is losing out on three days of instructional time because another student saw a gullible target and took advantage. Because this targeting was made possible due to my son’s Autism, this incident appears to be a violation of his civil right to a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE), which is protected under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. My boy told me he has been physically bullied (a pencil thrown in class that hit him in the eye, hit repeatedly with a hard lunch box by a boy who took it from a girl, had his trombone for band yanked from his hands and thrown, to give a few examples) several other times this year. According to Oklahoma’s School Safety and Bullying Prevention Act, school bullying policies must include how the parents of bullying victims and perpetrators will be notified in a timely fashion. Yet, I was never notified that my son was hit repeatedly with a lunch box in October, even though my son said he went to the principal’s office to report the incident. I am (uncharacteristically) rendered speechless by the school’s response, so I could use your help, dear readers. What would you say to the principal? Write me at marisasmissives@gmail.com and share your thoughts.

Kids don’t report bullying to adults who do nothing, or, even worse, blame the victim.

Forecasters: 63 million should have eye out for bad weather By Kelly P. Kissel LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) â€” Forecasters are warning 63 million people in the central U.S. to have an eye out for bad weather this week as colliding air masses threaten to generate high winds and possibly tornadoes. The threat Wednesday stretches from San Antonio to Chicago to Cincinnati. It appeared Monday that Missouri, southern Illinois and northern Arkansas would face the greatest severe weather threat, but the Storm Prediction Center cautioned that people throughout the Midwest should be prepared to take action should the forecast change. "It's going to be a large area, depending on how much unstable air develops," said Bill Bunting, the operations chief at the Norman, Oklahoma-based forecasting center. He said that while the jet stream and

upper-level disturbances were aligning in the atmosphere to aid storm development, another key ingredient â€” moist Gulf air flooding into the Midwest â€” was the great unknown. "It's not a given. We have concerns about the amount of low-level moisture that will be in place. That's a common challenge in November forecasting," Bunting said. A series of cold fronts have pushed humid air well south, but should it return Tuesday and Wednesday the result could be very bad weather. While seeking out forecasts was advisable, there's another way for non-scientists to know if something is up: "Wednesday morning, if there are low clouds streaming northward rapidly, Wednesday will be a day you can expect severe thunderstorm and tornado watches," Bunting said. "If

less moisture is in place, you may have showers and a narrow squall line. Nothing is off the table." Temperatures Monday across the Midwest were a few degrees above normal but could reach unseasonable temperatures by Wednesday â€” 10 to 15 degrees above normal, and approaching or exceeding 70 as far north as central Missouri. November storms aren't unusual; Illinois had eight deaths in tornadoes in November 2013. So far this year, there have been 10 deaths from tornadoes, but none since May. Seven occurred in mobile homes. Since the May 2013 tornado at Moore, Oklahoma, killed 24 people, including seven school children, the nation's has had 77 deaths from tornadoes. The worst was a storm that killed 16 west and north of Little Rock in April 2014.

Man convicted in Kenyan orphanage case asks for new US judge By Tim Talley OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) â€” An attorney for an Oklahoma man convicted of sexually abusing children at a Kenyan orphanage has asked a federal judge to disqualify himself from deciding the man's motions to overturn his conviction and grant a new trial. The motion filed Friday on behalf of Matthew Durham, 21, of Edmond, alleges U.S. District Judge David Russell has "a deep-seated bias" in favor of federal prosecutors and against Durham and his attorney, Stephen Jones. In a response filed on Sunday, prosecutors said Russell has not shown any bias

that would require him to step aside and that Jones is merely upset that Russell has ruled against him on some issues. "This court has made legal rulings, some with which the government disagreed and others with which the defendant disagreed. Such rulings are, perhaps, grounds for an appeal, but not reasons for recusal of the trial judge," prosecutors' response says. A jury found Durham guilty in June of seven counts of engaging in illicit sexual conduct in foreign places. Prosecutors say Durham targeted orphans while volunteering at the Upendo Children's Home in Nairobi between April and June 2014. Jurors cleared

Durham of accusations that he had planned to abuse the children before leaving the United States. Durham was convicted on charges involving girls ranging from 5 to 15 years old and a 12-year-old boy at the orphanage, where he had served as a volunteer since 2012. Durham is awaiting sentencing. Convictions for engaging in illicit sexual conduct in foreign places can draw prison terms of up to 30 years and a $250,000 fine, though under federal sentencing guidelines terms of imprisonment are often much less. In his motion to disqualify the judge, Jones alleges "flagrant prosecutorial misconduct plagued this case" and singles out the conduct of the lead prosecutor at Durham's trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Don Gifford II. In a separate motion filed last month, Jones complained that Gifford did not turn evidence over to Durham before or during the trial that indicated a key medical witness from Kenya presented false testimony at Durham's trial about physical findings of abuse of the victims. Jones has said the evidence could have helped Durham prepare his defense.

By John Hanna TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) â€” Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and top Kansas lawmakers Monday approved a total of $4.2 million in emergency aid for 25 school districts to help them with young refugees, increased student numbers or local economic problems. Brownback and eight leaders of the GOP-dominated Legislature gave the districts about 66 percent of the $6.5 million worth of "extraordinary needs" funds they sought. The Wichita district sought $980,000 to hire new teachers and aides to set up special classrooms for dozens of refugee children from Africa and Asia and received $367,000 because of uncertainty about refugee numbers. A school funding law enacted earlier this year gives the governor and legislative leaders the power to distribute up to $12.3 million in emergency aid in the current school year. Brownback and the lawmak-

ers convened three days after the Kansas Supreme Court heard arguments from attorneys on whether the new law complies with the state constitution â€” and whether the state immediately owes its 286 school districts an additional $54 million. The new funding law junked an old, per-student formula for distributing aid to school districts that Brownback and other GOP critics said was confusing and didn't put enough money into classrooms. The new law gives districts stable "block grants" but many educators don't think the funding is sufficient, and there's bipartisan criticism of requiring districts to ask top state officials for extra dollars. "It's sad that we have to do this, isn't it?" said Republican Rep. John Doll, of Garden City, who watched Monday's meeting. "They have to come up here and plead." The state spends more than $4 billion

a year on aid to school districts. Critics of the new law note that the old formula automatically adjusted districts' funding when more students enrolled or when more students were poor or had other specific needs. But Brownback noted after the meeting that the old formula also didn't immediately help districts if their property values dropped suddenly. That's a significant issue this year, when low oil prices have led to a drop in property values across western Kansas. Most of the districts seeking emergency aid Monday saw such a decline, crimping their ability to raise property tax revenues. "I would think there would be a number of school districts that would be quite happy with the new system," Brownback said after the meeting. Brownback and top lawmakers distributed nearly $3 million to 16 districts to address their declining property values â€” even though the governor's budget director, Shawn Sullivan, had recommended no extra dollars. Top Republican legislators said they were being consistent with decisions made in August, when Brownback and top lawmakers distributed $5.1 million in aid, most of it in response to districts' declining property values. But Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, said if the most recent requests had been rejected, "They would have gotten a lot of political heat, especially from rural, western Kansas Republicans." "It was a political decision, which is basically what's wrong with this process," Hensley said. As for Wichita's request, district officials said an additional 92 refugee students have enrolled since September 2014, and an additional 140 to 150 are expected. But the state Department for Children and Families said there's no way to know with any certainty. House Speaker Ray Merrick, a Stilwell Republican, said he supported the extra funding reluctantly. "When groups bring people or send people, the money ought to come with them," Merrick said later. "You dump people on us and expect us to pick up the tab."

Officials say economic recovery unbalanced in Kansas

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Government officials and economists say economic recovery has not been uniform across Kansas since the recession, leaving some areas behind. Wichita State University economist Kenneth Kriz says a major amount of job growth since the end of the recession has happened in northeast Kansas in the Kansas City metropolitan area and the surrounding counties, including Lawrence. He says Topeka has seen slightly slower growth, and Wichita has not grown much at all. According to Kriz, Wichita has dealt with Boeing's 2012 decision to pull its military manufacturing division out of Kansas, and other issues centered on the aviation industry have impacted the area's economy. He said that the company's decision to sell its civilian aircraft division to Spirit Aviation also had a profound impact on the area. Kriz was one of several economic experts who spoke at the University of Kansas last month during the annual Kansas Economic Policy Conference, which focused on the state of Kansas' economic opportunity as it emerges from the recession. The Lawrence Journal-World reports officials say the agriculture industry's consolidation, low wages and sales tax increases have factored into the slow See Recovery Page 30 economic recovery of the

2 Americans among 5 killed in rare Jordan police shooting By Hamza Al-Soud AMMAN, Jordan (AP) â€” A Jordanian police captain opened fire Monday on instructors at an international police training center in Jordan's capital, killing at least five people, including two Americans, before being shot dead by security forces. It was not clear if there was a political motive to the shooting spree, which also wounded six people, including two Americans. But concern has swirled in staunchly pro-Western Jordan over possible revenge attacks by Islamic militants since the country assumed a high-level role in the U.S.-led military campaign against the Islamic State extremist group, which controls large areas of neighboring Syria and Iraq. The unprecedented assault inside a Jordanian security compound also raised questions about the kingdom's image as an island of relative stability in a turbulent region. The shooting took place at the Jordan International Police Training Center in Amman, where Jordanian and foreign instructors, including Americans, have trained thousands of police officers from the Palestinian territories and other parts of the Arab world in recent years. The Jordanian officer opened fire, killing the two Americans and a South African contractor before being shot dead, government spokesman Mohammed Momani said. Two Jordanians were critically wounded and later died, he said. Momani did not release the assailant's name, but a former Jordanian parliament member, Suleiman Saed, identified him as his 29-year-old relative, Anwar Abu Zaid, a captain in the police force. He said the assailant's identity was given to him by a senior official in the Public Security De-

From Page 29

partment. A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media, said eight people died in the attack, but Momani would only confirm five. In Washington, President Barack Obama said that "we take this very seriously and will be working closely with the Jordanians to determine exactly what happened." U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby said the two slain Americans worked for DynCorp International, a major military contractor, in a program funded by the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security and Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement. The two wounded Americans are also civilians, the State Department said. The wounded â€” three Jordanians and a Lebanese in addition to two Americans â€” were treated at an Amman hospital where King Abdullah II paid a visit. The alleged shooter's brother, Fadi Abu Zaid, told The Associated Press his brother was mentally stable and "not an extremist at all." He said the father of two joined the security forces at age 18 and had been working at the training center for several months. He said his brother had given notice recently because he had received a job offer from a Gulf country, but that he had reported to work as usual on Monday. In Abu Zaid's home village of Rimon, north of Amman, about 200 relatives and neighbors gathered in the family's diwan, or tribal meeting area. They did not start the formal three-day wake because the government has not released the body, said Saed, the former parliament member. In any case, the family will not accept

the body before hearing details of the circumstances of Abu Zaid's death, Saed said. Momani said Jordanian authorities launched an investigation into what may have motivated the shooting. "We have full confidence in our security measures, and the investigation will uncover the motivation behind what happened," Momani said. In an earlier statement, he referred to the shooting as a crime. The shooting coincided with the 10th anniversary of the bloodiest attack by Islamic militants on Jordanian soil â€” triple hotel bombings in Amman that killed 60 people and wounded more than 100. But with the attacker's motives unknown, it was not clear if there was any link. Abdullah and his wife Queen Rania marked the anniversary Monday with a prayer for the dead during a memorial service for victims. While U.S. forces in Afghanistan have come under attack on a number of occasions by local police and troops serving alongside them, in what are known as "green-on-blue" assaults, such attacks are extremely rare in the Middle East. Fayez Dwairi, a strategic analyst and former senior military officer in Jordan, said he could not recall such a deadly shooting inside a Jordanian security compound in his 36 years in the military. He said the attack might lead to more security precautions in facilities where foreigners are present, but that it was unlikely to affect Jordan's close security ties with the West, particularly the U.S. Such cooperation has deepened in recent years, with the upheavals of the Arab Spring uprisings and the rise of Islamic militancy in the region, said Dwairi, a former commander of Jordan's Engineering Corps.

state's rural counties. According to Patricia Clark, Kansas director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Development program, wages in rural areas have not kept up with similarly-waged jobs in urban areas. Clark said, "I think the average wage in rural (Kansas) is a little over $44,000.

The average wage in urban areas is a little over $52,000. That's a significant wage difference between urban and rural." According to Clark, one of the consequences of the cost of living gap between rural areas and urban areas has been a steady exodus out of rural counties. She says young people who grew up

in rural areas leave for better economic opportunities in urban centers, which exacerbates existing problems. Clark and Kriz say these issues are not unique to Kansas, and are happening in rural counties throughout the U.S., but there are specific consequences for Kansas due to a shift in reliance on revenue on retail sales tax instead of income taxes.

wheelchairs on the flight and urged the veterans to utilize them because of the extensive walking during the tour of the monuments. Anyone who wanted one had a wheelchair. A nurse travels with each honor flight, and each veteran is required to have a chaperone travel with them. “They treated us like kings,” Conrad said of the Honor Flight staff. He also thanked his daughter for pushing him around D.C., as the group saw all the monuments starting with the World War II that is breathtaking with granite pillars depicting each state that surround a pool with fountains. She had printed off a picture of her dad in uniform and carried it everywhere they went. Upon arriving the first night they have “Project Mail Call” like the troops did as enlisted men and women when they got a welcomed bundle of mail. Dirks organized having friends and family write letters to her dad. Her elementary students at Medicine Lodge wrote letters to Conrad which he loved. This prompted Conrad to remember the many letters he and his dad wrote to each other throughout his service. “I have been to DC many times, but it was not like going with these veterans,” Dirks said. “ It was amazing to see it through the eyes of veterans. You know what is going through their heads – you truly see it in their eyes.” “I was honored and glad I got to go. I would go again with any veteran who didn’t have a guardian.” “You think of all those veterans who can’t go or have passed away,” she said. The Honor Flight staff has a wheelchair with a regulation folded

flag and flower that represents those veterans. Their names were read aloud. This Kansas Honor Flight left from Wichita with a ceremony and had 24 veterans from the Korean War, two from the Vietnam War and one from World War II. Conrad said that veteran who was about 90 broke down in tears at the airport in Wichita he was so honored and happy. “I couldn’t believe everything I saw,” Conrad said. “It was quite an honor to get to go.” A highlight for him was seeing Arlington Cemetery where some of the veterans were allowed to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. “That was something to be seen. I’ll never see it again,” Conrad said. Conrad and his daughter were in awe of the people at airports who stopped and cheered for the Honor Flight veterans. “A soldier in camouflage came up to me at the airport and said he was still in boot camp and thanked me for my service.” Tourists in Washington also approached Conrad to say thank you. Many people asked if they could take a picture with the veterans. “Children came up to my dad and said “thank you for your service sir.” As Dirks and her dad left Medicine Lodge, the students at the elementary lined the sidewalks, waved flags and cheered for the veterans leaving for their honor journey. “Dad was misty-eyed.” Referring to the complete strangers who showed such respect for the veterans, Dirks said, “It made me cry.” “The whole experience was so emotional and wonderful.” While they waited on the plane to take off, Dirks said flight attendants sang God Bless America and other

patriotic favorites. It was an experience she and her father will not forget. “We met wonderful people and made friends,” Dirks said. She said some of the veterans she visited with said they felt unworthy to be there because they were not on the front lines or in combat. On their tour of Washington former Kansas Senator Bob Dole was there to meet with the Honor Flight veterans. In a wheelchair himself, Dole visited with Conrad. He remembered being in Kiowa for the Labor Day ham and bean feed and in Medicine Lodge for the peace treaty. Dirks said she has her dad’s military paperwork. On the 50th anniversary of the Korean War, Conrad received a medal of honor and two bronze stars. He was a demolition expert, working with dynamite and TNT, although he never had before he enlisted. He helped build bridges and lay land mines as well as checking for them. Conrad became a squad leader and lived in a 12-man tent. He was north of Seoul, Korea and did some of his work on the infamous Pork Chop Hill. Conrad recalled building bunkers at the railhead and helped haul them up the hill in the cloak of darkness at night. “That’s when some of my friends got killed,” he said. Conrad said he took lots of pictures during his squad’s work that are still on eight millimeter film reels. He even had a USO show on the film. Dirks remembers watching those as a kid along with her sister Annette Waisner of Kansas City and brother Randy of Wichita. Now she’s shown the films to her students in the classroom. Their mother was Joyce Smith (who is deceased) whom Conrad married in 1956 after returning home from the service in 1953. Dirks said she is so glad she persuaded her dad to take this journey. She suggest people go on to the Kansas Honor Website and make a donation. “Help make someone’s dream come true. These veterans deserve it so much.” Conrad advises young people who are able to consider serving their country. “It’s worth it to protect our freedom.

Elaine replied, “What’s not to like? We have excellent care and lots of activities.” The Homestead takes away a lot of daily living chores such as lawn mowing, snow shoveling, vacuuming, bed linen washing and cooking. We even drive for you. For many people, a Social Security check amount pays for it.

Judge orders competency exam in Oklahoma parade crash By Justin Juozapavicius STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — A judge ordered a competency examination Monday for a woman charged with murder in the car crash at Oklahoma State University's homecoming parade that killed four people and injured dozens more. Judge Louis A. Duel stayed the proceedings at least until Dec. 10 against 25-year-old Adacia Chambers and ordered her committed for the evaluation at a state facility. Duel also issued a gag order in the case barring lawyers, witnesses, victims and family members from making any statements about the case outside of court for at least the next 15 days — allowing Chambers' defense attorney time to respond to the gag requested by prosecutors. Duel indicated he may decide to lift the order based on the reply. "I'm a huge believer in freedom of the press, but I have to maintain the integrity of this case," said Duel, who also ordered Chambers' medical records sealed for the same reasons during Monday's hearing.

Chambers was led into court by sheriff's deputies, dressed in a jail-issued orange jumpsuit, with hands shackled. She spoke only once, in a muted tone, acknowledging to the judge that she understood her rights to a preliminary hearing and attorney representation. Chambers' boyfriend, Jesse Gaylord, and family members were seated in the front row. Before the hearing, Gaylord declined to comment on the case. Chambers has been jailed on $1 million bond since the Oct. 24 crash and was formally charged last week with four counts of second-degree murder and 46 counts of assault. A court filing Monday shows the judge initially assigned to the case, Katherine Thomas, recused herself because she knows one of the victims. Duel, a judge in a neighboring county, was appointed in her place. Chambers is accused of running a red light and purposely driving around a barricade and over a police motorcycle before crashing into spectators near the end of Oklahoma State's homecom-

ing parade. Payne County District Attorney Laura Thomas has said evidence suggests the incident "was an intentional act, not an accident." In a 35-minute video of Chambers' jail booking released by Stillwater police, she quietly answers a jailer's questions but appears to show little emotion. While she was being booked, Chambers told jail staff that she had a history of suicidal attempts and treatment for mental health issues and admitted feeling suicidal at the time of the crash, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in district court. Tony Coleman, Chambers' defense attorney, has said that when he told Chambers about the deaths "her face was blank" and that he was not sure Chambers was aware that she was in jail. Chambers' father, Floyd Chambers, has said previously that his daughter had received inpatient mental health treatment several years ago but that nothing seemed amiss recently, except that his daughter had recently called and said she wanted to move back home.
