Burlington 4-H: ‘Kids Helping Kids’ Burlington 4-H members raised money for the 2014 Oklahoma 4-H Kids Helping Kids Campaign. This is a community service project for Ronald McDonald House Charities in Oklahoma City, a non-profit that provides a “home away from home” for families with seriously ill or injured children who are being treated in the Oklahoma City area.

The funds will help finance day-to-day expenses and a portion of the current house improvements, including work on a facility in The Children’s Hospital of Oklahoma City.

Bayli Hyde, Burlington 4-H Club president, stated, “This project was very special to our club. We have students in our school who have enjoyed the welcoming environment, comfortable lodging, daily meals and laundry facilities the Ronald McDonald House provides.

This helps relieve some of the burdens and stress families face during difficult times. Our club appreciates everyone who donated toward this campaign.”

Marisa’s Missives

The problem is poverty, people

By Marisa Dye Students who live in poverty have bigger concerns than how they do on a standardized test, which is why it is unfair to attach high stakes, such as whether students are retained in third grade or graduate from high school, to those tests. It is also unfair to evaluate the whole school with a formula heavily weighted toward the results of standardized tests. I’ve witnessed the poverty problem first hand on multiple occasions.

The skinny boy in one of my classes a few years ago was always the first one back from lunch. He always wore two hooded sweatshirts, which I assumed was his own unique fashion statement.

One day after lunch, he commented on the leftover cookie I was carrying in a plastic bag. I asked if he wanted it and he immediately accepted and inhaled it.

This roused my suspicions, so the next day I asked what he had for lunch.

He replied sheepishly, “Nothing. I never have money for lunch.”

I realized the boy who wore two sweatshirts, even in May, was hiding how bony he was. I saw clearly why he was failing several classes. He was too hungry to focus on his schoolwork, let

alone hours of standardized EOI (end of instruction) testing (the tests Oklahoma high school students must pass a certain number of in order to graduate). He’s not alone.

The Tulsa World is currently publishing a series profiling a Tulsa public elementary school that received an “F” on its latest school report card. Their story “Inside an ‘F’ school, Day 1: Fighting Failure” noted that 94 percent of the students at the elementary school in question qualified for free or reduced lunch. It also “found a strong correlation between this poverty indicator and those schools that received ‘F’ grades,” and that of the 44 of the Tulsa Public Schools sites with the highest percentages of students on free and reduced lunch, only two escaped a D or F rating.

The high school where I teach has seen the need to increase help to our students in poverty beyond free and reduced breakfast and lunch. We have implemented a backpack program so that students can take home healthy food each week. The school nurse keeps a clothing closet of gently used clothes for students in need. The faculty at my high school donates money every year so that some of our neediest students will have warm winter clothes and food.

Despite all of our efforts, our school earned a C on the 2013 School Report Card. Just as it isn’t fair to evaluate all K-12 students via high stakes standardized tests, is also not fair to evaluate the whole school with a formula heavily weighted toward the results of standardized tests that doesn’t account for other significant influences on a child’s learning, such as poverty.

Let’s run the free and reduced lunch numbers on the students in Ponca City,

Sights & Sounds, LLC Radio Shack Dealer 609 College Ave Alva, OK 73717 580-327-0409

along with Alva for comparison (these figures are available from the Oklahoma State Department of Education website): The percentage of Ponca City East Middle School’s students on free and reduced lunch is 73.28 percent, according to recent figures. The 2013 school report card grade was a C-.

The number of students at Ponca City high was 51.88 percent and the school was awarded a C on the school report card.

Let’s look at Alva’s numbers: 50.26 percent of Alva Middle School’s students qualified for free and reduced lunch. The school earned a D+ on the school report card for 2013. At Alva High School, 32.63 percent of students qualified for free and reduced lunch and the school report card grade was an A-.

It appears that as the poverty rate drops the test scores and the corresponding school report card grade go up.

The evaluation of students based on a test taken on a single day does not account for whether or not they ate yesterday, have a coat or can even afford to buy basic toiletries. The standardized test results of students who don’t have a level playing field to begin with shouldn’t be used to punish or embarrass them further.

Teachers know which students are struggling without a standardized test.

In fact, Kyle Redford, a long-time teacher and editor for the Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity, points out in “Time to Dethrone the Standardized Test” that recent research shows that GPA is a much better predictor of a student’s potential to succeed in college than the trusted standardized tests students have been taking for decades, the SAT and ACT. Learning at any school site is a complicated business that can’t be accurately assessed by a single letter grade.

Many factors go into the successful education of students. Demoralizing them, their teachers, principals and school staff with school report card grades that only measure a fraction of what is going on at school isn’t one of them. Please let your state legislators know that children need support and resources, not high stakes testing pressure.

South Barber school board considers capital improvements, increased health care costs

By Yvonne Miller South Barber’s board of education held a nearly two-hour board meeting Monday night. They covered a variety of agenda items from a walking path at the high school to capital improvements at both school sites, which would involve a bond project, to future increased health care costs.

All board members attended, including: President Steve Allen, Mike Anderson, Mark Pollock, Dana Roark, Dooli Rugg, Deb Helfrich and Jeff Black. Superintendent Brad Morris and board clerk Julie Johnson also sat at the board table.

In the middle of the meeting, the board held a 35-minute total executive session.

This was to discuss non-elected personnel matters. Following executive session, the board accepted the resignation of Kay Roberts as assistant track coach. They approved Fred Gillig as assistant track coach.

Needed Capital Improvements and Funding Them Superintendent Morris provided a page full of capital improvement projects for board prioritization. These are items that were compiled over time with board input. One item at the top of the list is to repair and replace plumbing at the elementary school (including toilet, urinal and sink replacement). He said they’ll repair and replace “as we go.”

Another project “that must be a top priority” Morris said is replacing the pothole filled parking lot at the high school.

Morris said he’s received one bid and

awaits two more. Cost varies for different types of pavement options like chip and seal. Costs he mentioned range from $340,000 to nearly a half million.

Many other capital improvement projects are on the list, including a new roof and HVAC unit for USD 255 Central Office. Other improvements at the junior/senior high school building includes: door replacement (boiler room, locker rooms, back gym doors), vehicle replacement (route bus, car and/or van), an enclosed breezeway between the main building and vo-ag building, fire alarm system, and bleachers.

More projects include grade school landscaping and, at both junior/senior high and grade school buildings, security door systems; outside storage buildings and intercom systems.

Morris said he’s visited with the school’s auditor Randy Ford about financing this project. Some of the items can be bought through a lease/purchase.

Last year to complete the major improvement project at the grade school the board approved borrowing against the district’s capital outlay fund for a total of $925,000. Morris said that grade school project will be paid back in September 2014.

The superintendent said they can again borrow against the capital outlay fund for the above mentioned improvements. Total cost of the project is not yet known because Morris said most of the estimated project costs he has are from the past year and he knows they’ll be

higher.

Morris said he and the auditor figured they can borrow up to around $650,000 and not jeopardize capital outlay for the next few years.

“We will do what we can with the money we have,” Morris said. He wants the board to decide on the big projects at the April meeting. If approved, the parking lot project will be completed this summer.

New Walking Path at High School A new walking path will be put in at the high school grounds this summer.

Morris said this is at no cost to the district. Cost of the path is $57,000, he said.

When Shell Oil was in the Kiowa area, they donated $20,000 for the project, Morris said. The South Barber Rec Commission pays the remainder.

The path starts at the south end of the access road that winds north towards the tennis courts. The path will go through the tennis court area, ultimately leading to the concession stand area near the football field.

Morris said the walking path will be four feet wide. The south end of the path along the road will be fenced. That fence will be the height of the existing fence, approximately five feet tall.

The superintendent credited Kiowa City Administrator Nathan Law for working to make the walking path a reality.

Superintendent Talks Health Care Costs Morris said two major issues that will greatly impact the 2014-15 budget are health-care-related. He anticipates a substantial increase in the school’s health insurance premiums next year due to the Affordable Care Act. “There are so many unanswered questions. The scary part right now is the unknown – constant changes.” The amount of increases is not yet determined because of changes about weekly, he said.

USD 255 is in a health care consortium with multiple other schools through ESSDACK The ESSDACK health care committee is still trying to establish premiums for next year, but hasn’t yet because of all the changes, Morris said.

Letter to the editor

County commissioner explains his War of 1812 I want to clarify why the public should be outraged by the recently proposed Senate Bill 1812. This bill needs to be killed before it gets to the floor and let me tell you why.

Your Senator Bryce Marlatt is trying to pass a bill that will allow oil companies to have free rein to install poly water lines in county easements without landowner permission.

He is trying to make legal a practice that has been wrongfully taking place for over 30 years. It has historically been deemed as illegal, per Oklahoma Constitution, Article II, Sec. 23 and the Oklahoma Attorney General Opinion that dates back to 1982.

In a nutshell, the Constitution states no private property in Oklahoma can be taken or damaged by a private enterprise without consent of the landown-

er. The Oklahoma Constitution clearly states landowners own the soil to the center of the county easement.

In all my research, I have failed to find where a county commissioner was ever granted the authority to permit and collect monies for a temporary water line used by oil companies or for private business of any kind in a county easement. But that is exactly what we have been doing for several years under the guidance of our county district attorneys (DAs) across Oklahoma. With that being said, I decided to go against the flow in the best interest of my constituents.

In consultation with my DA, I now require landowner approval before I grant any such poly line permits in my district. I added this requirement to my temporary water line permits: “Permit must include written permission from each landowner along entire route.”

What will happen to you as a landowner if Senate Bill 1812 gets passed?

It will give the oil and gas companies free rein to lay poly lines on privately owned land under a county easement without your permission. This would come to about 12,000 acres in Woods County alone, in my estimation – land

that we pay taxes on for our use. I think this age-old practice is wrong, and don’t want to see it be turned into a law by our senator in order to continue the wrongdoing!

In essence, this bill would be granting a pardon to the corporate entities to tread all over our constitutional rights and those of any landowner in Oklahoma.

I was brought up to show respect and consideration, and to always have permission before using other people’s property. What has happened to these values?

Landowners are being stripped of our constitutional rights plain and simple! Is it right that the government can give the use of my property or yours to anyone for private enterprise by pushing Senate Bill 1812 through to make it legal? I think not.

We already know where our senator stands on this. He introduced the bill!

If you have friends or relatives in other parts of the state, you would be wise to warn them and suggest they contact their senators and representatives.

This bill applies to landowners in every county in the State.

Randy McMurphy

By Marione Martin A man from Arkansas died in a collision with a train Monday morning in Grant County. Cort Houston Daugherty, 24, of Huntsville, Ark., was pronounced dead on the scene and taken to Lanman Funeral Home in Medford. The fatal collision occurred at 5:15 a.m. March 10 at State Highway 11 one-tenth mile east of US-81.

Daughterty was driving a 2001 Chevrolet pickup and failed to yield to a Union Pacific train with 71 rail cars engineered by Brent Cross, 41, of Chickasha. Conductor on the train was Jeff Foshee, 51, of Chickasha.

The pickup was westbound on Highway 11 and the train was heading north on the tracks. The highway patrol report states that Daugherty failed to yield to

the train. Daugherty was pinned for approximately five hours. The condition of the driver and the cause of the collision are still under investigation.

Trooper Jason Burch investigated the scene assisted by troopers Linda Hartley and Jim Chaloupek. Medford Police Department, Medford Fire Department and Medford Ambulance also assisted.

Meet and greet in Kiowa for Kansas Secretary of State candidate Jena Schodorf Miranda Allen will host a meet and greet for Kansas Secretary of State candidate Jean Schodorf on Sunday, March 16, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at her office located at 543 Main Street, Kiowa, Kan. Schodorf will speak about her campaign, current issues in Kansas government, her vision for the future and the upcoming election this November.

“My favorite part of running for a statewide office so far is getting to travel across our great state to meet my fellow Kansans,” said Schodorf. “I am excited to spend my spring break traveling to different parts of western Kansas, and I would like to thank Miranda for inviting me to Kiowa.”

Schodorf, a former Wichita school board member and state senator, is challenging incumbent Kris Kobach for the Kansas Secretary of State office this No-

vember.

“This race is close,” said Schodorf.

“I’ve been meeting people across the state, and we are all tired of being embarrassed on a daily basis with the mess that is going on in Topeka. It is time to take back Kansas for Kansans, and re-

store pride to our state.”

Schodorf is running on a three-point platform of representing only Kansas as Secretary of State, simplifying the voter registration system and making the Secretary of State’s office a one-stop shop for the business needs of Kansas.

Alva’s Market not part of beef recall

By Lynn L. Martin The USDA distributed a recall list in February for meat products processed by the Rancho Feeding Corporation of California because it processed diseased and unsound animals.

On Friday, the USDA expanded the list to include stores in Oklahoma that may have received the contaminated products. The list included Alva’s Market.

The proprietor’s of Alva’s Market say they do not belong on that list because they are not customer’s of Rancho Feeding Corporation nor do they carry items on the list like beef tongue, beef lips or beef heads.

Mary Hamilton said the store had received about a dozen calls from customers who had seen the list. She wants to asure them their meats are not part of the recall.

Alfalfa County commissioners Alfalfa County collect $17,000 in fees commissioners relying

By Rebecca Kinney District 1 collected $4,000, District 2 collected $6,500, and District 3 collected $6,500 for a total of $17,000 in road crossing permit fees in Alfalfa County. The fees were generated by the following firms:

An ATT Internet representative who was on the agenda failed to show and will be in attendance next week.

The commissioners had only one item on the junked list.

It was a John Deere chainsaw purchased in 2005 for $356.25.

The alcoholic beverage tax was distributed as follows: Aline – $386.68 Amorita – $69.12 Burlington – $283.94 Byron – $65.38 Carmen – $663.15 Cherokee – $2,798.28 Goltry – $465.14 Helena – $2,620.83 Jet – $397.89 Lambert – $11.21 The total alcoholic beverage tax distributed was $7,761.62.

The commissioners voted to authorize the county clerk to ask for bids for a fire pump for the Jet responders.

A pickup bid from Croft for $16,500 was accepted. The commissioners are buying a 2005 GMC Sierra 3/4 ton.

The other weekly items were approved. The minutes, blanket purchase orders, M & O warrants for payment, monthly officer reports, appropriations and monthly highway expenditures were all approved.

more on conference calls

By Rebecca Kinney The Alfalfa County commissioners started their Monday meeting with a conference call with Guernsey (architects) about court house rennovations. Some of the call reviewed existing conditions of the court house and jail area. They proposed keeping much of the duct work in place and changing out the units that serve the jail area. They talked about installing motion lights in the courtroom and erecting a screen to encompas the new generator. Some exposed piping will be removed and new ones installed that are better hidden.

The call from Scott Wheeler with ATT Internet did not happen, but a conference call is now scheduled for next week.

The routine items were approved including minutes, maintenance and operation warrants for payment, blanket purchase orders and monthly officer reports.

They reviewed a letter from NODA and an invoice for the Alfalfa County multi-jurisdiction hazard mitigration plan. They can update the four-year plan at two years, which helps reduce costs.

The road crossing permit fees generated $21,500 in revenue last week: $9,750 to District 1, $2,750 to District 2 and $9,000 to District 3. The locations are as follows:

A meeting of Class A County Officers was held immediately after the regular county commissioner meeting. The agenda had four items: meeting locations for emergency, incoder, update from the officers and excess property.

time equivalent) student, Morris said they received $3,838 this year and are guaranteed by Gov. Brownback to get $15 more per student for the 2014-15 year. Morris said that amount is not much when considering they get no additional money to help offset health care premiums.

With the Affordable Care Act, special education paraprofessionals will now have access to health insurance through the school. The superintendent said this will drive up the cost of USD 255’s special education assessments over the next couple years to help offset the cost of providing health care for paras.

“We are working on a two-year plan to help absorb the cost increase,” he said.

More South Barber Board Business In the South Barber Site Council report, Pre-K-6th Principal Marcia Cantrell said the group is again discussing the grading scale as requested by the board.

They are researching with numerous area and state universities about their considerations for college admission and scholarships. Grade 7-12 Principal Brent Shaffer said the goal is to have the research results ready to present to the board at the April meeting. Then the board is to make their decision on whether or not to change the grading scale at the May meeting.

Payment of current bills totaling $317,864.55 received board approval. Johnson noted that of that total, $77,130.84 is a South Barber Special Rec transfer.

As the board’s representative to South Central Kansas Special Education Co-op (SCKSEC), Allen reported the board vot-

ed unanimously NOT to move the Sharon Learning Center to Medicine Lodge. The contract of Andy Ewing and others in administration were renewed.

Student Achievements and Upcoming Events Principal Shaffer said 18 high school students competed at the Academic Olympics at Pratt. Santana Reeves placed second in geometry, Bailey Roberts was second in algebra I, Courtney Roark was third in ag business, Kiera Yates was third in accounting.

As reported in previous stories, Shaffer said South Barber High School (SBHS) forensics has several students already qualified for state competition.

Separate stories also tell of FFA students success at competitions. The FFA’s Invitational Livestock Judging went smoothly with around 200 participants during FFA Week.

Shaffer said the high school basketball season ended sooner than Chieftain fans wanted. The Lady Chieftains were 20-3 and lost in the sub-state semi-finals.

The Chieftains entered sub-state undefeated 21-0. In the sub-state championship game they had a heartbreaking loss, going down in overtime to Attica whom they had beat in close games twice during the season.

The junior high Tornado girls went undefeated (16-0) and were HOPL Champions. The junior high Tornado boys finished third in the league and were 12-4.

SBHS hosted the HOPL Music Festival Tuesday. From the three judges, South Barber’s choir received a I, II, II. The elementary is currently celebrating Dr. Seuss week. With the Winter Olympics in Sochi, elementary PE teacher Deb Hitchcock had her students do the “Elementary Olympics.” They performed an “opening ceremony” at a high school game.

Elementary students kick off their Red Wheel Food Sale today. If you are not contacted and wish to purchase some of those frozen food items, contact the grade school at 825-4114. Sales end March 26 with delivery April 9.

Two South Barber FFA Greenhand teams win first, individuals also place

By Yvonne Miller South Barber FFA Greenhand teams won first place and individual team members also ranked high at recent Career Development Event (CDE) contests.

Competing in the Milk Quality CDE at Hillsboro, Kan., the freshman team of Ana Perez, Spencer Kimmell, Bailey Roberts and Emily Rugg won first place. Their FFA advisor Kyle Jacobs said the students prepared “very hard” for the contest, winning by 85 points.

Individually, Perez won first place, Kimmell was second and Roberts was fifth. Jacobs said Rugg just missed the top 10.

These four freshmen will represent South Barber at the Kansas State FFA CDEs in early May. Jacobs said the Milk Quality CDE involves students taking a test, completing a problem solving section, and identifying

different cheeses by taste. They do a sematic cell count of the milk and taste different milk samples for fat content and off flavors (such as garlicky, salty or rancid).

Competing at Marion, Kan., another South Barber freshman team placed first in food science. Those students are Brian Farney, Ana Perez, Spencer Kimmell and Dale Hoch.

Individually, Farney was third, Perez was fifth and Kimmell was 10th. Jacobs said Hoch was just one point shy of making the top 10.

In food science, students are tested on general food science, identify various food scents, complete a triangle test to see which food sample is different and identify safety problems.

Also competing in the Food Science CDE were senior FFA team members Lauren Hitchcock, Elizabeth Miller, Courtney Roark and Kiera Yates. As a team they placed ninth.

This South Barber FFA Greenhand Team placed first at the Hillsboro Milk Quality CDE (left to right): Spencer Kimmell, Emily Rugg, Bailey Roberts and Ana Perez.

Parenting through separation and divorce Divorcing parents are often faced with many new problems during this difficult time for the entire family. Although their marriage is ending, their role as parents continues through their lives. To help make this transition easier, Northwest Family Services Inc. staff member Ginger Smith, MBS, will be teaching their Parenting Through Separation and Divorce class Monday night, March 17.

The class will be in Cherokee from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., in the Civics Room (first

floor) of the Alfalfa County Courthouse, 300 South Grand. To enroll, please call Northwest Family Services at 580-3272900. Participants must pre-enroll; the class will be canceled if there is inadequate pre-enrollment. The class costs $30 per person.

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. 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 non-verbal 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.
