Waynoka Airport open house was a high-flying success The perfect combination of courageous kids, generous volunteers and blue skies helped make the first Waynoka Airport open house a resounding success.

The Saturday morning event enabled 23 youth (and six adults) to take what was for most their first flight in an airplane, and what was for all an experience they’ll never forget.

Volunteer pilots from the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 455, based in Enid, touched down on

runway 17 about 8 a.m. Mica Doane, the chapter’s Young Eagles coordinator, recruited four additional pilots for the Young Eagles Rally, which offers free rides to youngsters aged 8 to 17. Gary Rogers landed his two-seat Aeronica Champ, while the rest arrived in Cessnas: Doane in his C-172, Dee Ann Ediger in her C-177, her husband Ken Hollrah in his C-182, and Richard Hollrah flew in his C-150. Pilots treated each Young Eagle to a 30-minute aerial tour over the city.

Reactions of the Young Eagles to their flights were 100 percent positive. Jalin Willyard, 15, who took one of the first

flights of the day, said “I want to go up again!”

Jalin’s brother Stephen, 13, who flew with Ken Hollrah, bragged “He let me fly!”

“That was awesome! Tons of fun,” reported Austin Rankin, 13. “I could see my house. Everything looks a lot smaller.”

Titus Delano, 9, echoed Austin’s observation, “We could see a person’s pool. It was so tiny!”

“It was a blast,” exclaimed Caitlin Chapman, 15, “We got to fly over the See Airport Page 62

Tragic wreck near Harper, Kan., takes lives of two teens, injures three others

By Devon Fasbinder of KWCH in Wichita, Kan. HARPER COUNTY, Kan. – Two people are dead following an accident in Harper County Friday, according to Harper County Emergency Dispatch.

It happened just before 5 p.m. near the intersection of northeast 10th and 80th just south of Harper.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP), 17-year-old Ayron Maurer of Harper was driving his pickup east when he entered the intersection and collided with a northbound pickup. KHP reported once the cars hit each other, they continued to the northeast corner of the intersection and hit a gas line and a telephone pole. Small pieces of glass and metal from the cars were still present at the crash site Saturday.

Maurer died at the scene. A passenger, 18-year-old Samuel Cook of Anthony, also died at the scene. A third passenger,

14-year-old Colin Nygarrd of Anthony, was taken to a Wichita hospital. Nygarrd is in serious condition. Friends of the boys said Maurer was a great baseball player, and although he was new to the city he became known pretty quickly.

Cook was a singer, according to friends.

They said he was a talented musician and wanted to pursue it in his future.

The driver of the northbound pickup, 15-year-old Joshua Campbell of Harper, was taken to a Wichita hospital with critical injuries. He is still in critical condition at last check. A passenger, 15-year-old John Eshelman of Harper, is also being treated in Wichita for serious injuries.

People in Harper had only great things to say about all five boys, who attend Chaparral High School together.

Two were set to graduate next year.

“They were just great kids, you know,” said classmate Alphonse Guer-

rero. “Since we're a small town, we all knew them.”

The crash remains under investigation. Lieutenant Bryan Quick of KHP said there are still several questions.

“Visibility shouldn't have been an issue,” Quick said. He said because of the level of impact, speed was probably an issue.

Quick said legally, if an intersection like 80th and 10th doesn't have a stop sign or a stoplight, the car on the left should yield to the car on the right. The highway patrol is looking into why that didn't happen.

Also, Quick said the 15-year-old driver had a farmer's permit, meaning he is allowed to drive without a parent or guardian under certain circumstances.

But Quick said he shouldn't have been driving with a minor in the car with him.

He said KHP is looking more into the circumstances of that question too.

Freedom School changes start date

By Lynn L. Martin A couple of months ago, the Freedom Board of Education moved the start of school to the first week in August. The administrators proposed this idea so that the end of school would coincide with the completion of EOI testing required by the state. They felt that the few days that school would be in session after testing was completed would not be particularly productive, and if those days could be moved to the start of school, more education would be achieved.

Monday night, principal Brett Hill asked that the start date be moved back to the 7th of August. This is because he discovered some scheduling conflicts with coaching clinics and the teachers’ in-service programs beginning on July 30. The board approved the change.

In one other major move, Superintendent Danny McCuiston presented a proposal to replace 11,000 square feet of flooring in the school. Three long hallways will be converted back to red and white tile. They have been covered with carpet for many years. He said, “This will brighten things up and get rid of the odor.”

Two classrooms will be re-floored, along with the entryways. The only quote was from “Carpet Direct” for a total of $27,593.02. The board approved the expenditure with installation to be completed before the start of school.

New Teacher The board approved hiring Tiffany N. Leitz as a first- and second-grade

teacher. This will be Leitz’ third year of teaching, with the last being at Felt, Okla. She will be living on a farm between Alva and Freedom. She will be marrying Justin Phillips of Alva in September.

The school board also approved the 12 month contracts for certified employees McCuiston, Hill and Bryant Weber, ag education. Two 12 month support contracts were approved for Patricia Dauphin, encumbrance board clerk, and Tana Nixon, activity fund custodian.

Finances The Freedom district finances are significantly improved over one year earlier. Gross production revenue for fiscal year (FY) 2014 was $201,512.81 compared to $102,734.26 in FY13.

Rural Electric revenue for FY14 is $134,921.24 compared to $99,487.20 a year earlier. Motor vehicle tax revenue is $56,484.26 over $53,816.70 collected a year before. The total improvement is $136,880.15.

The superintendent did not have exact figures available, but he estimated the carry over to be around $800,000.

A lot of end-of-year and beginning-of-year items were handled.

These included approval of continuing contracts with Alva Plus Educational Systems, Tom Cameron and Associates for professinal training and federal programs assistance, and the ag-education vehicle lease.

The board agreed to join the Oklahoma Rural Schools Association at a cost of $500 per year. The worker’s

Tiffany Leitz compensation insurance was approved at a premium of $4,366, which is down from $6,048 last year.

Numerous employee assignments were approved such as purchasing agent, receiving clerk and various fund custodians. Also various accounting fund changes were made upon advice of the auditor.

Hill reported no third graders face retention as a result of the RSA act.

Also there was a 100 percent pass rate on third-grade math scores and 100 percent of the fourth and fifth graders scored proficient or advanced on their state reading and math tests. He estimated a 100 percent pass rate in american history for full academic year students; and over 40 percent of the students in grades 9-12 scored either advanced on proficient on their EOI tests. The Alpha Plus projection says the elementary school will likely hit either an A- or A.

By Helen Barrett Red flags started going up like fireworks on the Fourth of July as citizens read of a proposed high-salaried position for an Alva Chamber of Commerce events coordinator.

Sunday’s edition of the Alva ReviewCourier carried the report of the June 18 meeting of the Alva Tourism Tax Committee. At that meeting, Chamber Director Alex Mantz presented a proposal for the committee to fund an event coordinator to the tune of ‘no more than’ $75,518.

(See the June 22 edition of the Alva Review-Courier for detailed information.)

The proposal called for $57,260 for salary package, $2,819 for marketing and advertising of the position, $7,500 for office expenses and overhead, and $7,948 for office furniture and equipment.

Questions Questions immediately popped up.

What does the chamber plan to invest in this endeavor?

Does Alva really need a full-time person for that position at a cost of more than $1,000 a week salary?

Alva has no Chesapeake Arena, BOK Center or even a convention hall to house such activities. What it does have is Herod Hall on the Northwestern Oklahoma State University (NWOSU) campus, the Alva Memorial Auditorium at the high school and the Woods County Fairgrounds. Those venues are occasionally available for events like concerts, dance recitals, meetings, etc., when not being used for their own designated activities.

Two major events annually bring

tourists to Alva for overnight stays: the Big Cruise and Car Show and the NWOSU Collegiate Rodeo.

Northwestern staff handles the details and preparation for their events with some financial assistance from the Tourism Tax Committee in the way of prize money and minor expenses. That event brings people from across the nation to fill Alva hotels and motels.

The Alva Chamber is a sponsor of the Big Cruise and Car Show, which annually receives funding from the Tourism Tax Committee, again for prizes, advertising, etc.

Would it be nice to be able to have someone whose full time job was to just seek out event opportunities?

Definitely, but what duties does that leave for the chamber director to perform – monthly coffees?

When former Chamber Director Neal Williams held the position, he scheduled concerts on the downtown square monthly during the warmer months to not only provide entertainment but boost traffic to the businesses operating there.

Many of those concerts drew fans from throughout Oklahoma and neighboring states.

In his position, Williams also helped organize the car show, which has grown annually. As chamber director he scheduled monthly luncheons with members to discuss ongoing projects, monthly legislative breakfasts during session, assisted aviation fly-ins at the airport as well as cosponsored the annual Meet the Legislature events in Oklahoma City with the Woods County Economic Development Committee.

Those were all considered in his job

description as economic development endeavors for which he received no additional compensation.

After the Tourism Tax Committee was established to distribute the hotel/ motel tax receipts, the chamber received $500 per month ($6,000 annually) for their services in attending committee meetings, keeping the minutes and making sure applications were filled out properly.

Since then, the chamber requested – and received – an additional $6,000 annually to help pay for a secretary position to assist the director.

Now, the chamber again requests more than $57,000 for salary for another individual to handle specific duties formerly handled by its director. The salary exceeds that paid to the average city or county officer. It exceeds the average base salary of public school teachers.

The request also included an additional amount for “overhead and equipment” to house the employee in the chamber office whose rent is provided by a local bank.

Collusion, Unethical, Illegal?

Was this even a legal meeting?

Chairman Henry Bickerstaff informed the committee members and chamber director at the May meeting that he would be unavailable for the June session.

When roll call was taken, Bickerstaff, Dr. Charles Tucker and Terri Parsons were absent leaving only board members Norville Ritter and Janet Valencia present. That did not constitute a legal quorum.

Kelly Parker attended the meeting as an observer. Mayor Arden Chaffee nominated Parker to replace Tucker whose term does not legally end until June 30.

Board members’ terms are specifically defined in the by-laws of the committee in Section 7-231(C-3) as ending on June 30 of the fiscal year regardless of date of appointment.

Despite vigorous questioning by Valencia about the proposal, Ritter (a member of the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors) made the motion

Does Alva really need a high salaried events coordinator?

Lynn Says

Alva’s previous experience at hiring an event promoter

By Lynn L. Martin When Chamber of Commerce manager Alex Mantz, supported by board member Melinda Barton, proposed the Tourism Tax Board fund an event coordinator for Alva, it was not a 100 percent bad idea.

However, Alva has done this before and it didn’t work out. So we need to learn from that experience.

I was a very active member of the Main Street board in the mid-’80s. We went to extraordinary efforts to put together a proposal and solicit private (mainly the banks) funding for a Main Street program in Alva. As I recall, the Oklahoma Main Street office was going to select seven lucky communities for the first year of the Main Street effort. They would provide a lot of expert support such as an architect, marketing guru and business development guidance. (I can’t remember whether we made the grade in the first year or the second.)

The local goal was two-fold: repair deteriorating downtown buildings and create events that would draw people

back to downtown. Our job was to hire a person capable of guiding us to do this.

After the board interviewed several candidates, I was given the job to call and offer the job to Karen Baxter.

Karen and Scott moved here, rented a house and gave it a valiant try.

I recall using my aircraft to fly members of the Alva Main Street committee to other Main Street communities, like the one in Duncan, to hear experts on various topics such as marketing, building renovation and event creation.

I can’t remember how long Alva was able to maintain the program. I think it was two or three years before the money pledges dwindled and Baxters moved on. It may have hung on for a couple more years but the excitement had died.

Why Did It Fail?

As I look back on the experience, because we were dealing with downtown businesses who were struggling to hang on, that was the reason they were unable to do maintenance and their facilities deteriorated. And even though the Main Street architects had good ideas, the struggling businesses could not afford to pay for the implementation of most of those ideas.

The idea of scheduling events downtown was to draw residents back downtown and away from the dreaded “strip malls” that were popular then. Alva really didn’t have any strip malls except for the competition from Oklahoma Boulevard. The decision was made early on to keep them in the promotion mix and not alienate them. Sadly, the “events” de-

signed to draw people downtown and, hopefully, to patronize the stores did not provide the economic boost needed.

So while the theory sounded good (fix downtown, draw people back downtown), it did not work economically.

That was pretty well the experience of ALL the Main Street towns.

In business, when I consider hiring a new employee, I always ask the question, “If I pay them $1000 per month, can they produce enough revenue to pay for themselves, plus some money for the overhead, and maybe a bit more for profit?” It that question fails, I can’t make the hire.

In a town the size of Alva, and without facilities to host big events, a $1,000 per week employee simply will not pass the economic test. If it is not practical for private business, it won’t likely be practical for taxpayer money.

They didn’t ask me, but here’s what I would do.

Yes, a couple of events in our town could use some extra management help.

I would suggest hiring an independent contractor person for, say, $1,000 for a big event. If we even had 12 events per year, that would be only $12,000 per year instead of $75,000.

Look what Allison McDermott Penco put together to honor Connor Sneary’s return to Alva. Hundreds of people came to downtown Alva for a short parade and a big picture that made the news broadcasts on most Oklahoma City television stations.

A year earlier, Allison put together an event for the OKC Thunder in downtown Alva. That’s an example of what a determined person can do if they put their mind to it.

Allison has moved on to Coffeeville, Kan., so it is relatively safe for me to use her as an example.

I know there has been talk for years of building a significant rodeo arena.

Perhaps when something like that is actually built, then the community can go after the staff to promote it. Until then, the per-event consultant approach is the economically sensible way to go.

Relay for Life set for July 11 The American Cancer Relay for Life for Alfalfa and Woods counties is scheduled for July 11 at the Cherokee football stadium.

This “celebration of life” brings the community together in a unified effort to fight cancer. It symbolizes the fight cancer patients face after they are diagnosed.

Relay for Life is an overnight team effort to raise funds for the American Cancer Society’s programs and services.

“Cancer does not stop when the sun goes down,” said Cory Ellis, Relay for Life chair, “so we’re not going to stop either. We hope the community will join us in this fight.”

Relay for Life starts at dusk and ends

in the early morning hours. The relay really begins when the sun is setting, symbolizing the time that people are diagnosed with cancer. Each minute and each hour following are symbols of the emotions and challenges facing the patient.

On the lighter side, the evening will also feature a fun talent show. It’s been rumored that Sonny and Cher will even be there.

A complete schedule will be published just prior to the event.

The American Cancer Society is committed to saving lives and creating a world without cancer. This yearly event supports that cause and community participation plays a major role.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — If John Learned's vision comes true, a mostly empty building in Kansas City will soon house several American Indian organizations working to promote their history and activities, with an emphasis on sports.

Learned, whose mother was the first woman to lead the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma, said he has private donors committed to help him raise $10 million to buy the Loretto building in central Kansas City. He plans to have a grand opening for the American Indian Center of the Great Plains later this year, The Kansas City Star reported (http:// bit.ly/1q4sTKc ).

Sports will be a main priority, including attracting as many Native American sporting events to Kansas City as possible, said Learned, a former collegiate volleyball and football coach who played football at the University for Kansas.

"Something like this doesn't exist, and there is a need," he said.

The North American Indian Tennis Association already has moved its headquarters to the building and held its 38th annual national championship in Kansas City during the Memorial Day weekend.

"We'd played it in different cities and reservations with the idea of bringing tennis to people who may not have been exposed to it," said NAITA President Yawna Allen. "Now, we want to grow the event, and Kansas City is the best place to do that."

The American Indian Athletic Hall of Fame, which showcases accomplishments of Native American athletes —

including Olympic gold medalist and football star Jim Thorpe and track star Billy Mills — also has signed on, at least temporarily. It will bring plaques and other awards that currently fill the lobby of the basketball gymnasium at Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence.

Carol Green, president of the board of the North American Indian Athletic Association, which oversees the Hall of Fame, said Learned offered office space and room for the artifacts, some of which are in storage because of Haskell's limited space. Learned coached volleyball at Haskell and the University of Kansas before becoming the first women's volleyball coach at the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 1987.

He also was on Haskell's football staff.

"Our board met recently, and we talked about it being time to move into the next century with our Hall of Fame,"

Green said.

Mills, the former University of Kansas runner, gold medalist in the 10,000 meters at the 1964 Olympics and a member of the Oglala Lakota (Sioux) Tribe, helped establish the Hall of Fame in 1972 and was inducted in 1978. He supports Learned's effort.

He said in a statement that Learned's plans inspired him and he is convinced the center has a "strong social consciousness, helping to empower the community around them."

The Loretto, which offers nearly 100 rooms and 110,000 square feet, opened in 1903. It housed a Catholic academy for girls until the mid-1980s.

John Bregin Jr. then bought the building in 1995, and spent about $8 million in improvements. It has a chapel that is a popular site for weddings and receptions that will remain available for those occasions.

By Yvonne Miller The new board of the Kiowa Hospital District met at the new hospital for the first time last Thursday evening for the board’s regular June meeting.

All members were present in person, including President Zack Odell, Lori Schrock, Chantae Simpson, Jim Parker and Brenna May. Interim Hospital Administrator Steve Davis also sat at the board table. Chief Financial Officer Janell Goodno attended as did Dr. Paul Wilhelm, Physician Assistant Melissa Stroh, Interim Manor Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Carla Dunigan, Hospital Director of Nurses (DON) Heidi Courson, Manor DON Kim Balding, other hospital personnel and district patrons.

Goodno pointed out the Friends of the Kiowa Hospital District and Manor Foundation still needs to raise $160,000 for bricks and mortar for their contribution to the newly constructed hospital.

Administrator Report Regarding the search for a new CEO/administrator for the hospital, Davis said they interviewed a man that day.

Davis updated the board on the hospital grounds and landscaping.

He said the lawn area is scheduled for sodding by the builder at the appropriate time. Davis thanked hospital employees and their families for volunteering to help with the yard, such as sprigging Bermuda.

Davis said hospital staff purchased a tree to plant on the grounds in memory of Wilhelm’s father.

Foundation President Judy Schrock’s son Nathan is volunteering his engineering services.

He recommends putting a five-foot rock barrier against the building to keep water away from the structure. Davis said the hospital owns some railroad property and suggested selling ties and other materials from it to help offset the cost of the rock barrier.

Although proper signage is now up for driving to the ER, clearer markings need to be made for backing an ambulance up to the ER, Davis said.

As the clinic doors are locked after regular business hours, people visiting patients in the hospital need to go to the entrance at the back of the hospital.

Hospital Statistics and Financials Goodno said year-to-date at the end of May, the hospital and clinic have seen 4,533 patients, which is 260 more than this same time last year.

In May, the hospital had 14 total admissions and 48 total days of care and swing-bed care.

Total outpatient visits were 589, which is the largest month so far this year. Clinic visits totaled 372.

For May, the hospital was in the black $128,432. Goodno said the largest part of that is the adjustment for bad debt. Explaining, she said self-pay accounts have reduced by $165,000.

This is largely contributed from increased collection efforts and implementation of the new collections policy. In addition, as accounts are transferred to the collection agency that reduces the current accounts receivable (AR) and increases the bad debt AR. The provision for bad debt shown on the hospital’s May operating statement is $118,310.

Net patient revenue was $445,787.

Total operating expenses were $405,642. Included in the operating expenses were $50,538 depreciation and amortization.

Goodno explained the hospital’s

depreciation expense doubled after the depreciation schedule was updated.

She said the idea of accelerated depreciation is so they can get it back in cash quicker. The amount that KDH will receive on their interim cost report will not be determined until November 2014, she said.

The hospital showed net from operations of $40,229. The addition of $81,572 tax money; $32 rental income; and $6,599 misc., income and contributions made total nonoperating revenue $88,203. Revenue minus expenses made the $128,432 gain for May. Manor Statistics and Financials The manor resident census was 24 in May. Dunigan said the census was 23 last Thursday.

The manor’s net patient revenue in May was $105,170. An additional $1,592 made total non-operating revenue $106,762.

Goodno noted that agency (nursing) pay increased by $15,202 to $22,702 in May. However, she said salaries decreased by $12,573 in May to $76,175.

May’s total operating expenses were $144,059 to make a loss of $37,298. The addition of $5,000 tax revenue curbed the loss to $32,297.

By Marione Martin A Cherokee man is faced with numerous charges in Alfalfa County following a traffic stop. Another charge was added later after he was already in jail. According to court records, Jason Coleman West, 39, has been charged with possession of controlled dangerous substance and attempting to bring contraband drugs (methamphetamine) into a county jail, both felonies. West is also charged with three misdemeanors of possession of controlled dangerous substance, unlawful possession of controlled drug without a prescription and unlawful possession of paraphernalia.

The traffic stop occurred on Saturday, June 14, about 10:30 p.m. Alfalfa County Deputy Sheriff Blake Trekell was on patrol in the area of state highways 8 and 45. While traveling eastbound on State Highway 45 west he saw the Ford four-door pickup in front of him fail to stop at the stop sign at the intersection of the two highways. He activated his emergency lights and the vehicle pulled over just south of the intersection.

Trekell spoke to the driver, Spencer E. Quiring, who said he thought the sign was a yield sign. Trekell recognized the passenger, West, and could smell an odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from inside the vehicle.

Trekell asked Quiring to have a seat in his patrol vehicle and asked if there were any open containers in the pickup.

Quiring said there were not. Trekell asked if his passenger had been drinking.

Quiring said he didn’t know and that he had just picked him up.

Trekell then went to talk to West, asking him how much he had to drink.

West said he had about four beers earlier

in the evening. Trekell asked if he had any open containers and he said he did not. However, he said, there was an ice chest in the back seat that had some unopened beers in it. While talking with West, Trekell could small a faint odor of raw marijuana. He asked West to step out of the vehicle while he checked for open containers.

Once in the vehicle, Trekell could smell a very strong odor of marijuana.

He closed the front door of the pickup and opened the back door. Quiring rolled down the window of Trekell’s patrol car and began hollering at West, asking what Trekell was doing. He then began yelling at Trekell, telling him they were in a hurry.

Trekell went back to his vehicle and asked Quiring why he rolled down the window and started hollering. Quiring became further upset, causing Trekell to feel he needed to be detained in handcuffs so he could safely pinpoint the odor coming from the pickup. He placed Quiring in handcuffs and moved him to the backseat of his patrol vehicle.

Trekell returned to West and asked if he could look in his backpack behind the passenger seat. West replied he really would rather Trekell did not. Trekell told him he knew there was more than alcohol in the pickup and asked where it was. West said there was a “one hitter” between the passenger seat and the center console. He said he shoved it down there when he saw Trekell’s lights come on.

West retrieved the wooden container for Trekell. It held a small metal pipe and a small amount of a green leafy substance that smelled and looked like marijuana.

Trekell detained West in handcuffs while he searched the rest of the vehicle.

In West’s backpack in a small zipped compartment, Trekell found a large quantity of cash, two syringes and a plastic wrapper with a green leafy substance inside that smelled and looked like marijuana. Trekell set the bag aside as it appeared to have a large quantity of illegal substances inside. He looked through the rest of the property and found no other illegal substances.

Trekell took the backpack and placed West inside his vehicle. Trekell removed Quiring from his vehicle and removed his handcuffs. He asked about the illegal items, and Quiring claimed no knowledge of them and said he didn’t know West had them.

Trekell placed West under arrest and took him and the backpack to the Alfalfa County Jail after releasing Quiring. At the jail, Trekell inventoried the illegal contraband inside West’s backpack. Inside were two hypodermic syringes commonly used to inject methamphetamine; a small plastic baggie with a clear substance inside that later field tested positive for

By Leslie Nation The Alfalfa County commissioners – Doug Murrow, Chad Roach and Toby Walker – met at the courthouse on Monday for their regular meeting at 10 a.m.

After approving the minutes from the June 16 meeting, the commissioners listened to a representative from Floyd Law Firm, Jeff Raley. Raley spoke at the meeting in regards to a request from the Cherokee Public Schools for the formation of the Alfalfa County Educational Facilities Authority, an Oklahoma public trust.

This trust would aid the school system it its recently approved financing. The Cherokee School District would like to sell lease revenue bonds in an amount not to exceed $4 million.

The commissioners decided to wait to discuss the matter further in the next meeting before making a decision about the formation presented by Raley.

Next on the agenda, Brian Langston, a representative of Cedar Ridge Construction, spoke to inform the commissioners that his company would attempt to appeal the decision of allowing Henson Construction Company the bid for the EMS building as requested by the 522 Ambulance Board. The 522 board reviewed three bids from companies for construction

of their EMS building before requesting the commissioners to approve their decision to award it to Henson Construction. Langston stated that Cedar Ridge believed it was within their legal right to try and overturn this decision.

“We feel that we have been unjustly disqualified from the project,” Langston said. “I’m not here to harm the county in any way, or cause any disruption in the construction of the building. But we will file an injunction if the commissioners go forward with the contract with the awarded company.”

Murrow stated that after reviewing the 522 board’s reasons for choosing Henson Construction, the commissioners went forward by approving the bid in favor of the 522 board’s choice.

Langston responded that if the board for the EMS building had any reservations about Cedar Ridge he wished that they would have contacted them to ask them any questions.

No decision was necessary from the commissioners over this item, so they proceeded with their agenda by approving the payroll warrants, M&O warrants, blanket purchase orders and road crossing permits.

The Alfalfa County commissioners then approved two detention services agreements with Sequoyah Enterprises Inc. and Osage County. The commis-

sioners then approved the resolution to execute the interlocal agreement with the Association of County Commissioners of Oklahoma.

Transfers were then approved by the members from: E-1B Agriculture Part Time to E-2A Agriculture Operating Expense for $371.34, R-5 Gen Gov – Health Insurance to C-1A Treasurer Salary $2,666.95, C-2A Treasurer M & O to C-1A Treasurer Salary $2,377.70, C-1C Treasurer Travel to C-1A Treasurer Salary $247.30, R-5 Gen Gov – Health Insurance to B-1A Sheriff Salary $4,644.43, R-9 Gen Gov – Retirement to B-1A Sheriff Salary $3,096.47, and R-7 Gen Gov – Unemp to B-1A Sheriff Salary $1,576.47.

Once the transfers were approved, the commissioners adjourned the meeting.

Road crossing permit revenue is as follows: Dist. # How Amount Many 1 6 $5,500.00 2 0 $0.00 3 1 $500.00 Total All Dist. 7 $6,000.00

Arrest

methamphetamine; a green pill bottle containing 42 white oval pills later identified as Phentermine, a schedule IV dangerous substance, with another person’s name on the bottle; a plastic material with a green leafy substance that smelled and appeared to be marijuana, and $1,158 cash in the same compartment as the meth.

Additional Felony Charge The next day, June 15, Trekell was notified by jail staff that West had requested the jailer bring him items from his property. The jailer said she found a small plastic wrapper with a crystal substance inside.

Trekell arrived at the jail and spoke with the jailer who said she grew suspicious when West asked for both contact lens cases and one of them was extremely dirty, appearing not to be sanitary enough to contain lenses.

She looked in them and discovered the wrapper. The jailer stated that West asked for both cases, and as she walked back to the jail area with them, West looked back into the jail and said, “She got it, she got it.” She said she looked at West and shook her head after looking inside the case. Then West told her she could throw it away.

Trekell interviewed West and asked if he knew there was meth in one of the cases. He said he knew but thought Trekell had found it. The contraband charge was filed after that incident.

All members attended except Jeff Black. They were Steve Allen, Mike Anderson, Mark Pollock, Dana Roark, Dooli Rugg and Deb Helfrich.

Each member signed a public meeting “Waiver of Notice” resolution.

Members signed an end-of-the-year statement that all monies will need to be expended and/or transferred to meet the required ending general fund balance of zero.

From Page 35

The board approved payment of bills and approval of year-end encumbrances for textbook purchases, payment of dues and insurances, athletic expenditures, accelerated reader materials, furniture and equipment, and supplies for the 201415 school year.

The amount of encumbrances will be determined by the auditor.

The board approved a motion to transfer the remaining unencumbered balance in the general fund to capital outlay or other special funds after receiving the final 2013-14 state aid payment the first week of July.

Events

to approve the proposal. Parker (not legally a voting member at the time and also a member of the Chamber Board) provided the second. Those two voted yes while Valencia voted no.

On the surface, it appears the proposal was timed to deliberately avoid the stringent scrutiny of Chairman Bickerstaff and board member Tucker.

Even if the vote could somehow be stretched to meet the legal requirements, the question remains “Was it ethical?”

For two board members of the Alva Chamber of Commerce to vote to approve a position over which they would have direct financial control, muddies the water somewhat on the ethics issue.

Other members of public bodies like the Alva Board of Education, the Alva Hospital Authority, the Alva Airport Commission, and even at times the Alva City Council, have abstained from voting on issues that directly affected their businesses or those connected with family members.

Since the Alva Chamber of Commerce receives a sizeable amount of funds from taxes, does this not place that organization under the rules of the Oklahoma Open Meeting/Open Records (OMOR) Act? With half of the director’s and secretary’s salaries coming from either the hotel/motel tax or the City of Alva, it would seem probable that the OMOR Act would apply to that organization.

Another nagging question remains

in the minds of many. Is this job being created to benefit a specific person?

Potential for Misuse Of all the tax revenue the city receives, the hotel/motel tax has enormous potential for loose spending. The funds can legally be granted to individuals, businesses, service clubs, educational institutions and other governmental entities that come to the board with ideas for increasing tourism.

Fortunately, the tourism board has set high standards and required grant applicants to precisely detail their spending budgets. Often, when a proposal is vague and it appears some “spare” funds are requested, the tourism board will ask the applicant(s) to refine their proposal with more details and return to a future meeting with more information.

Lead by Certified Public Accountant Henry Bickerstaff, other tourism board members have picked up his tax-preparer attention to detail, and have joined him in asking the tough questions in vetting proposals. This quality of work has kept public confidence high that these tax dollars are being carefully spent.

Several newspaper readers have dropped by the office commenting that this proposal for a $57,000 per year event coordinator would never have passed had the full tourism board been present.

While this chamber proposal might be legal in the broadest sense, other than not having a quorum present, it doesn’t really pass the smell test.

balance sheets show a current year loss of $51,943. Goodno said cash-on-hand as of last Thursday was “right under $400,000.”

Other Hospital Board Action As addressed last month, the manor was in dire need of an ice machine as the one there no longer worked and they were buying ice at a cost of about $653 per month. The board discussed bids with Simpson sharing her expertise about appliances. The board approved purchasing a new ice machine from Direct Supply at a cost not to exceed $3,500.

More expense for the federally mandated electronic health records was approved. This is part of Phase II of the Kansas Health Information Network’s (KHIN) CareAlign software. It allows clinicians to securely share patient information from their electronic health record (EHR) with other participating providers and facilities.

This creates a centralized, electronic repository of patient medical information at the fingertips of clinicians for quick access to information about care provided at other facilities, such as medication and allergy lists, diagnoses, lab results, immunizations, radiology studies, and documents.

The cost of this software is $15,000 the first year and $10,00 the second year.

Laboratory Director Gay Farney told the board it was time for a change from the company they currently they use for pathology. At Farney’s recommendation, the board approved entering an agreement with Heartland Pathology.

At the end of the regular meeting the board entered executive session that lasted about three hours until 11:08 p.m. Upon return to open session, the board approved the monthly risk management/quality assurance (RM/ QA) reports for the hospital and manor.

That was all the action that was reportedly taken. The reasons listed on the agenda for executive session besides RM/QA included non-elected personnel and contract discussions for Merritt Hawkins and email/exchange.

LIGHTNING SAFETY AWARENESS WEEK June 22-28, 2014 Lightning Safety for You and Your Family

When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors!

With summer comes boating, swimming, baseball and fun things to do outdoors. But each year in the United States, more than 400 people are struck by lightning. On average, between 55 and 60 people are killed. Most Organized Outdoor Activities of those tragedies can be avoided with a few simple precautions.

Outdoor Recreational Facilities Should Have An Emergency Action Plan. It’s essential for the people in What You Might Not Know About Lightning charge of these activities to understand the dangers of All thunderstorms produce lightning and are dangerous. In the United lightning, have a lightning safety plan in place, and States, in an average year, lightning kills about the same number of people follow the plan once thunder is heard or lightning is as tornadoes and more people than hurricanes. Lightning often strikes seen. Many outdoor activities rely on volunteer leaders, outside the area of heavy rain and may strike as far as 10 miles from any coaches or sports ofcials to make safety decisions. rainfall. Many lightning deaths occur ahead of storms or after storms have Make sure the leaders of these activities follow a seemingly passed. If you can hear thunder, you are in danger. Don’t be lightning safety plan. Don’t be afraid to ask, and don’t fooled by blue skies. If you hear thunder, lightning is close enough to pose be afraid to speak out during an event if conditions an immediate threat become unsafe. You could save a life!

Avoid the Lightning Threat •Have a lightning safety plan. Know where you’ll go for safety and how much time it will take to get there. Make sure your plan allows enough time to reach safety.

•Postpone activities. Before going outdoors, check the forecast for thunderstorms. Consider postponing activities to avoid being caught in a dangerous situation.

•Monitor the weather. Look for signs of a developing thunderstorm such as darkening skies, ashes of lightning or increasing wind.

•Get to a safe place. If you hear thunder, even a distant rumble, immediately move to a safe place. Fully enclosed buildings with wiring and plumbing provide the best protection. Sheds, picnic shelters, tents or covered porches DO NOT protect you from lightning. If a sturdy building is not nearby, get into a hard-topped metal vehicle and close all the windows.

Stay inside until 30 minutes after the last rumble of thunder.

•If you hear thunder, don’t use a corded phone except in an emergency. Cordless phones and cell phones are safe to use.

•Keep away from electrical equipment and wiring.

•Water pipes conduct electricity. Don’t take a bath or shower or use other plumbing during a storm.

Act Fast If Someone Is Struck by Lightning!

•Lightning victims do not carry an electrical charge, are safe to touch, and need urgent medical attention. Cardiac arrest is the immediate cause of death for those who die. Some deaths can be prevented if the victim receives the proper rst aid immediately.

•Call for help. Call 9-1-1 or your local ambulance service.

•Give rst aid. Do not delay CPR if the person is unresponsive or not breathing. Use an Automatic External Debrillator if one is available.

Airport

Cimarron River!”

AJ Higgins, 9, emphatically stated, “I probably will fly again.”

Pilot Dee Ann Ediger spotted at least one potential pilot among the Young Eagles. “She has a really light touch,” Ediger said of 16-year-old Christina Mauhl when she was handed the controls, “and was grinning the whole time.”

Unfortunately, not all youngsters were able to fly. About eight potential Young Eagles who arrived after 11 am were grounded when winds reached 20 knots and rides were prematurely cut short.

When combined with a temperature over 90 degrees, these conditions make for a bumpy, uncomfortable experience.

In addition to the Young Eagles Rally, local pilots Ray Hull, Dale Hughes and Charles Newton had their Waynokabased aircraft on display: a six-seat Piper Saratoga, four-seat Piper Arrow, and powered parachute (respectively).

Thanks to a generous donation, Waynoka Airport commissioners treated

From Page 56

all comers to free hot dogs, snow cones, popcorn and drinks.

Waynoka Airport Commission Chair Ray Hull was pleased with the event’s success, which exceeded his expectations.

Commissioner Dale Hughes, who acted as event air boss, said, “I was tickled with turnout, and glad that everyone was engaged.” Additional commission members Roscoe Like, Karen Hull, Charles Newton and Sue Hughes were also on hand to run the event.

Commissioners share credit for the successful event with volunteer Susan Bradford, who manned the check-in desk; the Chamber of Commerce for donating tables, chairs, and snow cone and popcorn machines; the city for sprucing up the grounds before the event; and Café Banhof, which donated gift certificates to the volunteer pilots.

On the wings of Saturday’s successful event, airport commissioners will consider making the open house an annual or perhaps more frequent occurrence.
