Lynn Says

A great free photo editing application in Windows 10

By Lynn L. Martin For years, especially when I was teaching photography principles at the Career-Tech school, people would ask me for a source of a photo editing application that was cheap. There was really no good answer until now.

Windows 10, which is still being given away as a free upgrade by Microsoft, also includes a free photo editing application simply called “Photos.”

To launch it, find a photograph and right click and choose “Open With” and one of your choices should be “Photos.”

First, some background. Photoshop is one of the best known words in the current American language. It is also the unquestioned standard in photo manipulation software. For many years, one had to cough-up about $600 to purchase a standalone copy. More recently, Adobe has quit “selling” Photoshop and instead, wants you to rent it. They have a pretty good deal for photographers. For $9.95 per month one can rent two programs that are extremely useful: Lightroom and Photoshop.

Lightroom is a pain because it tries to be too automated. But it is wonderful for being a very fast editor when perusing hundreds of photos. If I photograph a football game, I may come home with 150 images. Used to, I would bring each one of these up in Photoshop and do the necessary cropping and brightness manip-

ulation. That could take two or three hours of time. Lightroom helps me accomplish the same feat in about 30 minutes.

After the Alva High School football game the other night, I copied all my images from the memory card to the hard drive on a Windows 10 computer. (About half of our 20 computers at the newspaper are now converted to Windows 10 with no problems.)

I accidentally double-clicked on the first photo and that image was displayed in Windows 10 Photo. My normal routine would not be to left double-click, but to right click and choose “Open With.”

Then I would have selected Lightroom or Breeze Browser. As I said, I accidentally brought up Windows 10 Photo.

Then I noticed an editing pencil at the top of the frame and I decided to click on it and see what happened. All sorts of editing tools appeared. On the left was “basic fixes, filters, light, color and effects.”

Once you choose something on the left, the right menu comes up with choices like “enhance, rotate, crop, straighten, red-eye and retouch.”

I started editing my football pictures and was shocked at the quality and speed of editing. It took a bit of experimentation to learn to use the peculiar rotating buttons the software uses but that method works well. What I mean is if you want to lighten a picture, you would first choose “Light” on the left, and then go to the right side where there is a choice, say “contrast,” which has a little round pointer with a number within. You grab that with your mouse and move it around the clock to the brightness desired. The

quality of adjustments are amazing. I became so intrigued with this free program I edited all of my Alva High School and NWOSU Ranger football photos with it.

The speed is faster than Photoshop, but not quite as fast as Lightroom. However, the quality is right up there with Photoshop and Lightroom.

I doubt that you can do Photoshop tricks like adding or removing people from pictures. We can’t use it very much here at the newspaper because it only operates in RGB color space. Newspaper presses need CMYK. However, any photos that go on the web, or that we print for customers, have to be RGB.

South Barber reaches negotiations agreement, pay raises given, 2016 budget approved FFA students tell of Washington Leadership Conference experience

By Yvonne Miller All members of the South Barber Board of Education attended their regular September meeting Monday night.

President Steve Allen called the meeting to order with members: Mike Anderson, Mark Pollock, Melissa Simpson, Dooli Rugg, Deb Helfrich and Mariah Doherty.

Toward the end of the meeting, the board held executive sessions. Upon return to open session, the board approved the negotiations agreement for the 201516 school year. That agreement included pay raises for classified teachers certified personnel and also administration as recommended by Superintendent Andi Williams. She said it is a three percent raise for classified and certified.

Prior to starting the actual September meeting, the board held a budget hearing at 6 p.m., with no members of the public appearing to comment or ask questions.

With little discussion, the board approved the Fiscal Year 2016 Budget of $2,169,128.00. The approved General Fund is $1,256,878.00.

Superintendent Williams said the budget is very similar to last year – no more, no less. The “extraordinary need” funding received on August 24 allowed USD 255 to keep the mill rate steady at 6, which Williams said is actually about a half mill less than last year. Williams said USD 255 received 87 percent of what she requested in extraordinary need funds.

South Barber Board Business

ANDI WILLIAMS

Payment of current bills was approved for a total of $478,087.22 Tom Tharp was approved as a substitute bus driver.

Jessica Swonger received the board’s approval to fill the South Barber Recreation Commission to be vacated by Tiffani Bodemann in October.

When asked to consider installation of an ATM at the high school through People’s Bank, the board said they’d like to research the project further before reaching a decision.

At the recommendation of Superintendent Williams, the board plans a retreat with a Kansas Association of School Boards (KASB) facilitator, Saturday, October 10 at Medicine Lodge.

Williams and Elementary Physical Education Deb Hitchcock updated the board on the new elementary playground surface. They said the concrete is in and now they await the tiles to be delivered and installed.

The board approved a policy review of workers compensation.

The superintendent provided some KASB policy updates. She told the board there are no significant changes, just slight wording changes. She suggests board members review. The subjects regard: complaints of discrimination for staff; sexual harassment for staff; racial and disability for staff; weapons, complaints for students; sexual harassment for students; racial and disability harassment

for students; complaints.

Superintendent Williams Reports The superintendent presented the board’s prioritized list of capital improvements they’ve discussed many times previously. She advised them to address what improvements they think they can accomplish this year. The board agreed to seek bids for a van.

Also the bids for new doors at the high school are still good and will be pursued.

They’ll consider more projects at another meeting. She told the board that before they can host another regional tennis meet, court repairs must be made.

Superintendent Williams said the balance of the capital outlay fund is $1 million. She said the mill levy should generate about another $500,000 more.

At this point, Williams said the bond payment is less than $250,000.

In her monthly report to the board, Williams had a list of information and projects she’s working toward. She received a letter from the South Central Kansas Special Education Cooperative director Marsha Evenson. That letter confirmed that South Barber’s early childhood teacher Courtney Hauser’s salary and benefits are paid through SCKSEC. Her salary is supported through onehalf Kansas Preschool Program (KPP) Grant and through other cooperative funds.

She presented documents showing ACT trends. A food service efficiency audit was conducted to improve ordering and purchasing practices. Williams said she is accompanying Food Services Director Lori Sahadi and Transportation and Grounds Supervisor Keith Rathgeber to a supervisor training at Hays September 22.

High school classes will dismiss at 1 p.m., Monday, Oct. 19, to accommodate South Barber hosting a Junior High Volleyball League Tournament.

Superintendent Williams told the board her next evaluation by them is due Nov. 13 and again April 1.

By Desiree Malicoat The Cherokee school voard held a regular meeting Tuesday, Sept. 8, at the Cherokee High School library. Present where Judy Porter, Amantha Sanborn, Kory Littlefield, T.J. Allison, Jeff White and Superintendent Donna Anderson. Joe Woods opened the meeting with a moment of prayer.

The minutes of the Aug. 3 meeting and Aug. 13 special meeting were approved.

The Activity Fund report for August 2015 was reviewed and there were no questions.

The Treasurer’s Report was sent to the State of Oklahoma and is waiting for approval.

Leftover funds from the Class of 2012, Class of 2013, woodworking and academic conference funds were moved into activity funds, as they are no longer needed.

The board also voted and approved transfers in some accounts. Middle School Cheerleading: $75 to High School Cheerleading; Class of 2012 ($17.16), Class of 2013 ($447.84) and Woodworking ($615.77) to Beautification Activity Fund.

Upcoming fundraisers were discussed and approved.

The Cherokee elementary fourth-grade class was designed to be one class, but due to the class growth there is a demand for more than one class. Superintendent Anderson presented a contract with Williams Scotsman for a portable building to be used for the fourth-grade class. The lease will be for three years, costing $750 a month with a $200 a month ramp fee. It

will give the board three years to decide what they would like to do, as there could be another bond in the future for the elementary school.

They also can see what the numbers look like over the next three years. Superintendent Anderson did talk with the company about making their own ramps so they wouldn’t have to pay the fee. The company advised that due to regulations it would be a better idea if they stayed with the company’s ramps.

The district will move the Little Chief program for 3 year olds into the now fourthgrade room and move the two fourth-grade classes into the portable room. Superintendent Anderson stated that the portable is fairly new and she was told it in good condition. She advised it has bathrooms in it also. She said that if they do not end up splitting the fourth grade, the other room in the portable would be used for other things. It was also discussed that if the elementary continues to grow they can always add another portable. The contract with Williams Scotsman was approved.

The portable classrooms should arrive by the end of the month.

Executive Session An executive session was held in which the board discussed support contract changes, computer science contract changes, certified position for the Little Chief program and special education director. No action was taken during executive session.

The board approved changing hourly support contracts to 10-month contracts, hiring Allison McFeeters on a temporary

3/7 certified contract for the 2015-2016 school year, hiring Alicia Bailey as a temporary certified teacher for the 2015-2016 school year and hiring Sheila Glover as the district special education director.

Principal’s Report Junior High Principal Chad Hutchison talked about the PA/sound system being installed by Small Pocket Poets Company. The firm has done work for the school before and will be putting in all the sound systems for the new stadium as well as the school PA system. Hutchison also spoke about the clock-timing system for the stadium and said it is the best around. The equipment will be installed by Lynx.

Pioneer Spirit paid for the system. Fortunately, there was a little money left over that can be used for other things. Hutchison showed the designs for the high jump and pole vaulting pads as well as a design for the long jump with a sand catching system on the main runway from Gill.

Hutchison said bleachers are ordered.

He explained that a set of bleachers bought prior to the bond issues was to be used for the visitor side. These can also be used for the softball games.

Additional bleachers and benches will be ordered from that same company in a design as close as possible to the other ones for baseball. These will serve a dual purpose as football sideline benches and for track meets.

Revised concession stand and locker room plans are expected soon.

Also, he talked with the striping company to make sure the layout is specifically what it needs to be.

High School Principal Jeremy Hickman said the state is going to allow all juniors to take the ACT for free. Cherokee Public Schools will pay for all juniors and seniors in high school to take the ACT one time, as they feel the seniors are just as important as the juniors. The board was told that Cherokee will be a test site.

Superintendent Report Superintendent Anderson said the elementary is looking at doing alignment in all the grades in language arts and math.

Anderson said, “Their curriculum is a little non-existent. So the administration is going to buy something they can all use and feel good about and make sure they all are going in the right direction.”

Freedom has three football squads this year Co-op with Alva for soccer

By Stacy Sanborn Freedom’s monthly board of education meeting was held Monday with all members present.

The consent agenda (which consists of previous meeting’s minutes, activity fund expenditures, and encumbrances for and signing warrants for the general, building, and child nutrition funds) was approved after some lengthy discussion.

After the approval, members moved on to listen to the reports of the superintendent and principal.

In his report, Superintendent Danny McCuiston gave a big thanks to the Nixons and to everyone who helped organize/sponsor the Freedom Booster Club Golf Tournament. He said it went very smoothly and had a large turnout of participants. He didn’t know the revenue it generated yet, but said there was a good number of hole sponsors on each “T” box and believes about 13 teams were in the tournament.

McCuiston said the district estimate of needs will not be ready this board meeting due to coding changes coming from the State Department of Education.

Hopefully there will be ample time to approve during the October meeting, but if not, accountant Carroll has been assured a special meeting would be held to take care of that business.

Freedom monthly revenue collections for fiscal year 2016 for the month of

September indicated gross production at 50 percent September 2015. One thing to keep in mind, he said, is that the number is actually more than was collected by the district in September of 2014.

He went on to say that the budget blame rhetoric is already heating up ahead of what will be a contentious legislative session. He wrote in his report, “We have already seen the first Republican replaced by a Democrat in a traditionally Republican seat. When you are coming off numerous years of the best economic times in the state history and facing up to over a one billion dollar budget shortfall, someone has to take the blame, and it looks like the Republicans are lining up their target: Education.” He concluded his report saying in an indication of how tight the budget will be, he received notification of assessment of a penalty for Freedom Public School District being more than 150 percent over the state average in per pupil revenue. The penalty will cost the district $2,255 in state aid after Jan. 1, 2016.

Principal Brett Hill attached the new football schedule for the 2015 season.

He said it will be somewhat of a short season for the guys, but hopes to have a co-op next year with the high school and possibly junior high kids.

This year there will be three squads instead of two. There will be a third and fourth grade team that will have some fifth graders on it as well. There will also

Branch of Alva State Bank & Trust Company Danny McCuiston FREEDOM, OKLAHOMA • 580-621-3276

be a fifth and sixth grade team that will have some fourth graders playing with them and then a junior high team with sixth through eighth grade.

He said the school had some students attend the Woods County Free Fair and several of them did very well – not only in FFA, but in 4-H as well. Mrs. Selfridge and her FCCLA officers and members helped work the concession stand and the 4-H students manned the booth as well. There should be more specific information on how all the kids did at the next board meeting.

Hill said enrollment is currently at 79 students, so they are holding steady.

The principal told the group about the different school clubs (the cheerleaders, senior class, and athletic department) and their plans for fundraising.

Some dates of importance he mentioned were Oct. 23 for the annual fall carnival, April 16 (2016) for prom, May 7 (2016) for baccalaureate and graduation, and May 9-13 for the senior class trip.

He said a student teacher, Lauren Blubaugh, will be working this semester with Mrs. Badley and Ms. Woodard.

There will also be a field experience student, Shelby Brown, working with Mrs. Strehl. She will be in and out of the school randomly throughout the semester.

Last on his report, he said a Literacy First coach will be coming to the school once again to discuss and help out the pre-K through fourth grade teachers on the Literacy First methodology. The coach is Pat Morris from Ponca City.

“She was a great resource to those teachers that took advantage of her last year and we are looking forward to having her back at Freedom this year,” he said.

The board then reviewed quotes for a new school vehicle. They voted to approve purchase of a 2016 Chevrolet Suburban totaling $43,900.

Discussion and possible vote to approve/disapprove or take no action on the athletic coop with Alva Public Schools for the purpose of high school soccer for the 2015-2016 was the last agenda item. The item was approved and the meeting adjourned.

By Marione Martin A Waynoka woman died from injuries received in a rollover wreck Monday just before 1 a.m. Karla Jane Peacock, 49, was pronounced dead at 3:41 p.m. from traumatic internal injuries. She had been transported by Air Evac to OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City.

The wreck occurred at 12:58 a.m. on

U.S. Highway 412, 10.5 miles east of Mooreland in Woodward County. The report from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol says Peacock was east bound when she attempted to pass another vehicle. She lost control of her 2007 Nissan Versa, departed the roadway to the right and struck a fence.

The vehicle rolled end over end three complete times before coming to rest.

Peacock was pinned an unknown amount of time before being extricated

by Mooreland and Woodward Fire and Rescue. Unsafe speed was listed as the cause of the wreck.

Trooper Charity Robertson of the Woodward County detachment investigated, assisted by the Woodward County Sheriff’s Office.

Waynoka woman in rollover wreck dies of injuries Monday

School vehicle stolen, possibly totaled

By Stacy Sanborn Last week’s school board meeting in Waynoka netted only three of its members: Marinda Zook, Rick George and Andy Ferguson. Clint Olson and Don Blaylock were absent.

With a relatively short agenda Tuesday, Sept. 8, members, along with Superintendent Loren Tackett and Principal Michael Meriwether, moved forward.

The consent agenda was quickly approved with Tackett saying that a little more money was spent this year than last due to the new seating, paint, carpet and cement projects, although actual expenditures were in line with the previous few years.

In his report, the superintendent said August enrollment was 260, down from last year’s 304 students.

Though the decreased number seems like a dramatic drop, it fits in with the last five year’s average.

Tackett went on to say that the school’s Suburban was at the shop being worked on when it was stolen by a juvenile. He and Principal

Meriwether went down to look at it.

“It’s in bad shape,” Tackett said.

“It’s rolled up good. She (the juvenile) is lucky she wasn’t hurt bad.” He said he turned it in to the insurance company and he hasn’t heard anything back quite yet. He said it’s in their hands, but he’s sure it’s totaled.

The police were also notified and the girl was arrested. Tackett said he spoke with the district attorney as well, as the DA will be handling the criminal part of it.

In the principal’s report, Meriwether presented some info on the new bus that’s being wrapped.

Members looked at some different graphics, but since it was only part of the principal’s report and not listed on the agenda for action, no motion could be made or voted upon.

The principal spoke about some problems he’s been having with the two speakers used at the ball games.

He said Midwest Music out of Enid is scheduled to come out and assess the situation. Meriwether said a new amp is needed to at least get through this

school year until a new system could possibly be put in later down the road. He concluded his report saying that the greenhouse project is coming along a little bit at a time. He said kids are learning to build hands-on, which was a goal of his.

Next, members approved membership renewal with Oklahoma School Advisory Council (OSAC) for the 2015-2016 school year, and the following fundraiser requests for the 2015-2016 school year were approved: FCCLA, FFA, cheerleaders, boys basketball, TSA, library, annual, second grade, junior/ sophomore classes, incentive, and girls basketball.

The board then made a motion and approved convening in executive session to discuss amending the superintendent’s contract for the 2015-2016 school year and to discuss extra duty assignments for the 20152016 school year.

Waynoka’s school board will convene again at their next regularly scheduled meeting on Oct. 5.

The Kiowa District Manor Revitalization Program began in January 2015 in response to joining the PEAK 2.0 initiative. PEAK (Promoting Excellent Alternatives in Kansas) is a recognition program to encourage long-term care providers in Kansas to adopt person-centered care.

PEAK 2.0 is a Medicaid pay-for-performance incentive program. Homes that engage in system changes to support person-centered care or who have demonstrated implementation of person-centered care receive financial incentives through Medicaid reimbursement. The program focuses on five domains essential to person-centered care: The Foundation, Resident Choice, Staff Empowerment, Home Environment, and Meaningful Life.

Our revitalization specifically was focused on the domain of Home Environment. Our efforts will now turn to focus on the other four domains to fully maximize reimbursement in our attempt to stabilize the Manor’s finances. So far, the renovation has had a positive effect on both the residents and employee morale and pride in the work place.

COME JOIN US THIS TH FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 , 2015, FOR THE KIOWA DISTRICT MANOR OPEN HOUSE FROM NOON TO 6 P.M.

Enjoy refreshments and time to visit with staff and residents. You may even want to have a tasty lunch with us off of our new menu.

Resuscitation needed for EMT health insurance issue in Barber County

By Yvonne Miller Last week the Barber County Commissioners traveled to Kiowa for a special meeting with the Kiowa District Hospital (KDH) Board. The meeting regarded the county providing health insurance for the EMT’s in southern Barber County as they have for years, and the commissioners’ suggestion that KDH assume that expense.

The commissioners are Paul Harbaugh, Kiowa; Steve Garten, Medicine Lodge; and Bill Smith, Hardtner. They came with Barber County Clerk Debby Wesley and County Attorney Gaton Wood.

All members of the hospital board attended: President Pat Myers, Chantae Simpson, Jeff Miller, Brenna May and Jim Parker. CEO Margaret Grismer and CFO Janell Goodno also participated in discussion.

The commissioners confirmed it is their role as a board to make sure there is an ambulance service in Barber County.

It is not required that the county pay for that service in anyway, they explained.

Commissioner Harbaugh said he’s been talking about this possibility with Grismer that KDH would pay the health insurance premiums of EMT’s who are with the ambulance service in south Barber County.

Harbaugh later confirmed this affects seven EMTs in southern Barber County who are currently on the county insurance.

There are a total of 14 EMTs in southern Barber County. The others either have their own private insurance, through their spouse, or don’t have insurance. That is unknown to this reporter.

The commissioners listed three options for KDH to consider: have KDH

pay for the south Barber EMT’s health insurance; keep things as they are, but the county stop paying for EMTs insurance as of Jan. 1, 2016; or have one full-time director run an ambulance service for all of Barber County.

Harbaugh verified that the county pays 90 percent of employee’s insurance.

KDH pays 50 percent of employee’s insurance, Grismer confirmed.

Both commissioners Smith and Garten urged the hospital to take over the EMT’s insurance cost. Harbaugh said, “No firm decision has been made,” adding “We are here to get feedback from your board.”

Grismer explained that as it now stands, a hospital employee who works 32 hours per week is considered full-time and eligible for health insurance through the hospital. With the Affordable-CareAct (Obamacare), Grismer said that number drops to 30 hours per week for an employee to qualify as fulltime and be eligible for medical insurance. That includes “on-call hours.” She said one hour of “on-call” time equals one hour toward full-time employment. That includes EMTs also.

Harbaugh said, “Depending on which expert you talk to, there is a controversy over on-call hours. Who do you believe? It’s so complicated, it’s hard to understand.” He said it seems to be an interpretation of insurance companies and others.”It’s about as gray as you can get.” County Clerk Wesley said, “Nobody seems to know for sure. I don’t think the government knows.”

When asked later by the Newsgram what prompted the commissioners to see the need to stop paying insurance on the

EMTs, Harbaugh said, “It’s mainly the cost of health insurance that’s driving it.

It’s the Affordable-Care-Act, Obamacare – the biggest part is compliance with it that’s forcing everyone to be treated equally. Now it’s different with these volunteer (EMTs) positions. The county can’t afford it anymore. The county’s part to pay a family plan insurance was like $150/month 15 years ago. Now it’s like $1000.

“This thing didn’t happen overnight.

With Obamacare we now have to prove a full time employee. There’s so many layers of paperwork. There’s so many clauses in Obamacare. They signed it before they knew what was in it. We have to make it equal to all people if we take it on. We have grandfather status and don’t want to lose that.”

Grismer agreed, “This is an incremental effect of the AffordableCare-Act.” She said they learned that in October 2016 the hospital will have to pay a penalty of $3120 per

This is a view of the frightening excitement of those early days on the Kansas prairie when the cowboys, Indians and settlers didn’t get along at all. The Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty Pageant reenactment is a must-see and fun way to understand the history and culture of this area. Plan to attend one of the three performances Sept. 25-27.

Medicine Lodge to put on 25th Peace Treaty Pageant Sept. 25-27

By Yvonne Miller Step away from all the technology in your life – yes that means turning off your phone. Stand outdoors for a minute and listen to, or at least imagine, the rustle of the grass, leaves blowing in the wind, maybe the buzz of insects, the cry of wolves. Those are some of the only sounds that existed for years across sage-brush covered prairies dotted with wildflowers that is now Kansas. Then came the Indians who lived off the land and also settlers in horse-drawn wagons looking for a new home. Conflict abounded. Eventually peace again came to the prairie, but there is a story as colorful as the Indian headdresses that describes what happened and how it was resolved.

You have a chance to see a reenactment of this piece of history that is literally in your own stomping ground the last weekend of September. If you have children, this is the opportune moment to let them see real-life cowboys and Indians and let them learn about the

history of this area with their own eyes watching live action – not just staring at a book.

The first Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty Pageant reenactment was in 1927. This year, 2015, marks the 25th time Medicine Lodge, Kansas, will hold the colorful, lively pageant that commemorates the historical significance of the Treaty of Medicine Lodge, signed in 1867 by the Peace Commission of the United States Government and the five tribes of Plains Indians: the Kiowa, Comanche, KiowaApache, Arapaho and Cheyenne.

The pageant takes place in a natural amphitheater that covers a quarter section of Kansas prairie. This arena was presented to the Peace Treaty Association by E. S. Rule of Wichita, a Barber County native. It was designated as the Memorial Peace Park and is located just one mile east of Medicine Lodge along State Highway 160.

The Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty re-enactment compresses 300 years of history into two hours of entertainment

and education. Set against the panoramic backdrop of the timeless Red Hills and the Kansas sky, the pageant commemorates the diverse cultures of the “Discoverers, Explorers and Settlers” mixed with the native peoples of the Central Plains.

The Peace Treaty literally draws thousands to Medicine Lodge. Kaye Kuhn, executive director of the Peace Treaty, said nearly everyone in Medicine Lodge helps in some way with the festivities. She estimates it takes nearly 700 people for the pageant production itself.

Kuhn said it’s literally a family affair. She said for the Charlene (Gant) and Bob Larson family, there will be six generations participating. Many families come home to Medicine Lodge to be part of the beloved tradition they grew up with in their home town.

The Peace Treaty Pageant is reenacted three times throughout the weekend: Friday, Sept. 25, from 1-3 p.m.; Saturday, Sept. 26, from 2 -4 p.m.; and Sunday, Sept. 27 from 2-4 p.m.

From Indian POW WOWS to the Big Night Shows, parades, cowboy trappings and trade shows, ranch rodeos, vendor shows, dances, all sorts of displays, there is something for everyone in Medicine Lodge during Peace Treaty Weekend. See an ad in the Newsgram for the jam-packed events and times. Go to peacetreaty. org to see all sorts of details about the Peace Treaty Weekend. Watch the Newsgram next week for more stories on the upcoming historical and fun weekend.

Family practice physician moves to Alva

By Lynn L. Martin A board certified family medicine physician, Dr. Kirk M. Smith, MD, is now seeing patients in the urgent care facility at Share Medical Center. He and his wife, Teresa, have moved to Alva and Smith began seeing patients on Monday of this week.

Hospital officials said he will practice medicine there until the first of the year, and then likely be re-located to the Professional Building utilizing the clinic space previous occupied by Dr. Bierig.

Smith’s credentials are impressive.

He has experience as a clinical instructor with the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine and as an adjunct clinncal assistant professor of family medicine with the OSU College of Osteopathic Medicine. He has also been in private practice in family medicine with obstetrics. He has also worked as an ER and urgent care physician in both Oklahoma and New Mexico.

When asked why he chose Alva, he said, “Share Medical Center is a great facility for me to follow my passion of helping people and practicing full-spectrum medicine. Another reason for moving to Alva is I would like to be closer to my young daughter, who is a second-grade student in Tulsa.” Unfortunately, Smith has experienced the loss of a young son.

He said, “I practice full-spectrum medicine. I accept patients for prenatal care, pediatrics, adolescent care and sports medicine. I also enjoy visiting with the centenarians. I can take care of the entire family.”

Smith will be at the SMC Urgent Care Clinic Monday - Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Fridays from 8 a.m. until noon.

Smith and Teresa enjoy hobbies of landscaping, outdoor hiking and gardening. In an earlier life, Smith worked as a professional musician as a jazz drummer.

Burlington School Board seeking property

By Yvonne Miller The Burlington Board of Education met for a half hour special meeting earlier in September. Board President Terry Graham called the meeting to order with members present: T.J. Rockenbach, Allison Armbruster, Roger Allen and Aaron Smith.

Others present were

Superintendent Glen Elliott, Principal Shane Feely and Minutes Clerk Tamre Bohn.

The main item of business was to enter executive session for the purpose of discussing the acquisition of real estate.

After about 20 minutes, the board took no action upon return to open session except to authorize Superintendent Elliott to continue pursuing additional property.

Before the executive session, board members held a short discussion before declaring 65 high school desks as surplus for disposal.

The board also approved encumbrances of $6,054.92 and warrants of $16,848.92 from the general fund and warrants from reserves in the amount of $14,935.

Kiowa

insurance cheaper through the marketplace (the Affordable-CareAct site) than the hospital can offer that employee. Employees that get insurance privately or through their spouses employer will not cost the hospital anything. However, individuals who have no health insurance, who are not even enrolled in Obamacare, will owe a penalty to the government.

With all the rules and regulations such as HIPPA (privacy), Grismer said she’s still unsure if she can even ask employees what type of insurance they have or if they have any coverage.

KDH currently has medical insurance from Coventry/Aetna which will be just Aetna in the spring.

Potential Loss to the Hospital The commissioners told hospital administration to name a figure of estimated loss from taking on the EMT insurance expense and the county would reimburse.

Hospital CFO Goodno said that based on current data, she estimates the hospital will lose a minimum of $132,000 annually if KDH assumes the cost of the EMT’s medical insurance. “That doesn’t include the time that Margaret and I would spend on this,” Goodno says. “This would be negative for the hospital.”

Grismer agreed and said, “We would lose money in our cost report and other places. However, she added, “If we entered into contract (with the county) they would make us whole for any losses.”

EMTs Tell Their Side and Hospital Board Expresses Concerns Kiowa EMTs Cathy Cox and Laura Wagenbach attended the joint meeting of the boards. Cox said frankly that the commissioners’ move to stop paying for the EMT’s health insurance “hurt the feelings of the EMS staff.” She said they are “already operating under negative vibes. Anyone working under Obamacare feels that way.” Cox said, “We put in a lot of time that’s not billed.” Referring to her fellow EMTs, Cox said, “We are all buds and cover for one another.”

Cox said the uncertainty about their health insurance “Is making everyone crazy.”

Speaking of EMT’s as volunteers, she said when they are oncall, they can’t leave town and are restricted in their activities – encumbered. On the other hand she said volunteers like firefighters are not on-call. Firefighters do not receive insurance through the county.

KDH Board President Myers said it is a “huge issue” of concern to the hospital if some of the EMT’s would walk out because of losing their health insurance.

“We as a board don’t want to lose our ambulance service, but we don’t want a financial disaster,” Myers said.

The commissioners suggested KDH try taking on the EMT’s insurance for a year and see how it works. Board member Miller equates that scenario to “letting the cat out of the bag. If it doesn’t work we can’t get the cat back into the bag.”

How EMTs are Handled at Medicine Lodge Mike Loreg of Attica is director of the South Barber County Ambulance Service. All their calls are billed through that. Loreg is invited to attend the KDH September Board Meeting Thurday at 7 p.m.

In contrast, most of the EMTs at Medicine Lodge work through the hospital. Medicine Lodge Memorial Hospital (MLMH) Administrator Kevin White said he’s been there 31 years and the EMT billing was done through the hospital before he arrived.

White said they have about 15 EMTs, most of whom work for the hospital. He confirmed MLMH pays all expenses on the EMTs, but the county pays for their health insurance and no longer will after Jan. 1, 2016. White said the county dropping EMT coverage will affect about four or five of their EMTs. White said, “Obamacare definitely has an effect. When you have volunteers who are not punching a clock, it’s hard to track hours. I need EMTs so I will make it work.” He said MLMH pays about 45 percent of an employee’s health care for a family plan.

That percentage is higher on individual plans, he said.

“The county has paid 90 percent of employee’s health insurance. Dropping to about 45 percent, there will be significant out-of-pocket expense, especially on family plans, for our EMTs,” White said.

“We don’t bill for all of our time or expenses so it’s not really profitable,” White said of the ambulance service.

Ambulance services have to factor in an estimated bottom third of their clientele who don’t ever pay for this emergency service.

The KDH Board will again discuss this issue at their meeting Thursday meeting. The KDH Board agreed to also meeting with the EMTs at their Sept. 21 monthly meeting.

FFA Chapter Advisor Kyle Jacobs accompanied three of his members to the board meeting: Idallis Shaffer, Kacee Hostetler and Emily Rugg.

They attended the FFA Washington Leadership Conference this summer and the excitement still in their voices during the presentation reflected how much they loved it.

They spoke of the “Living to Serve” theme and how they would use it at their home school including: tutoring younger students; raise money to help pay for school lunches for students who can’t; and helping other students build self-esteem.

The girls roomed with other FFA members from across the nation and loved making new friendships. They told about their favorite Washington monuments and how it made them feel. As Kacee said, the eyeopening trip made her see how much help is needed out there and how “the smallest act makes a difference.”

2014; 68 in 2013; and 67 in 2012. But he said junior high enrollment is declined at 33. SBJH enrollment was 39 in 2014; 40 in 2013l and 39 in 2012.

Shaffer said 10 students are using independent study opportunity to take a college class. He told of three tech aides to assist Luke MacKinney and said teacher Jeff Lantz has an hour of tech integration.

“The enemy to education is not your legislature or your governor – the enemy is your suburb schools who have tech integration specialists. That’s what they do all day,” Principal Shaffer said, expressing the need for more technology at South Barber to help students to be competitive.

Principal Shaffer thanked the Myrtle King Foundation for $1500 donation to restring the Baby Grand piano at the high school.

The principal gave athletic summaries: High School Football is 2-0 with 21 boys on the team; High School Volleyball is 8-4 with 14 girls on the team; High School Girls Tennis has six girls on the team; Junior High Football is 1-0 with 12 boys on the team; Junior High Volleyball is 0-2 with 14 girls playing.

South Barber’s FFA Chapter has 45 members.

Junior Magazine Sales started Tuesday.

Parent/Teacher Conferences are September 28-29 from 4-8 p.m., at SBHS and the elementary school. The elementary has their annual book fair during PT Conferences. There is NO SCHOOL Friday, Oct. 2.

PK-6 Principal Marcia Cantrell updated the board on the progress of their on-watch team and professional development. The elementary is having Freedom Week this week as classes study the constitution. So the elementary kids support the SBHS Football Homecoming which is Friday, Sept. 25, they will celebrate with their own Spirit Week.

POND CREEK (AP) – Oklahoma authorities say a small-town police chief shot by a 67-year-old man over the weekend is in critical but stable condition.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said Monday that Pond Creek Police Chief Tim Barwick has

been transferred from an Enid hospital to an Oklahoma City hospital.

The chief was shot Sunday after authorities arrived to a house where homeowners reported a man who was trying to get inside their home. Officers from three agencies responded and began speaking with Clifford Butler Jr.

OSBI says that as officers tried to subdue Butler, he pulled a gun and shot Barwick. A Grant County sheriff’s deputy returned fire, killing Butler. The deputy’s name wasn’t released.

Pond Creek is a town of about 850 people in northern Oklahoma near the Kansas border.

WINTER WEATHER SAFETY: STAY OFF ROADS DURING AND AFTER A BLIZZARD If You Must Drive “Don’t Crowd The Plow” WINTER STORMS & EXTREME COLD A neighborhood street covered 3 foot deep in snow While the danger from winter weather varies across the country, nearly all Americans, regardless of where they live, are likely to face some type of severe winter weather at some point in their lives.

Winter storms can range from a moderate snow over a few hours to a blizzard with blinding, wind-driven snow that lasts for several days.

Many winter storms are accompanied by dangerously low temperatures and sometimes by strong winds, icing, sleet and freezing rain.

One of the primary concerns is the winter weather's ability to knock out heat, power and communications services to your home or ofce, sometimes for days at a time. Heavy snowfall and extreme cold can immobilize an entire region.

BEFORE WINTER STORMS AND EXTREME COLD To prepare for a winter storm you should do the following: •Before winter approaches, add the following supplies to your emergency kit •Snow shovels and other snow removal equipment.

•Make a Family Communications Plan. Your family may not be together when disaster strikes, so it is important to know how you will contact one another, how you will get back together and what you will do in case of an emergency.

WINTERIZE YOUR HOME •Winterize your home to extend the life of your fuel supply by insulating walls and attics, caulking and weather-stripping doors and windows, and installing storm windows or covering windows with plastic.

•Maintain heating equipment and chimneys by having them cleaned and inspected every year.

•All fuel-burning equipment should be vented to the outside and kept clear.

•Keep re extinguishers on hand, and make sure everyone in your house knows how to use them. House res pose an additional risk, as more people turn to alternate heating sources without taking the necessary safety precautions.

•Learn how to shut off water valves (in case a pipe bursts).

CARBON MONOXIDE KILLS Caution: Each year, an average of 430 Americans die from unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning, and there are more than 20,000 visits to the emergency room with more than 4,000 hospitalizations. Carbon monoxide-related deaths are highest during colder months. These deaths are likely due to increased use of gas-powered furnaces and alternative heating, cooking, and power sources used inappropriately indoors during power outages.

•Never use a generator, grill, camp stove or other gasoline, propane, natural gas or charcoal¬ burning devices inside a home, garage, basement, crawlspace or any partially enclosed area. Locate unit away from doors, windows and vents that could allow carbon monoxide to come indoors. Keep these devices at least 20 feet from doors, windows, and vents.

•Install carbon monoxide alarms in central locations on every level of your home and outside sleeping areas to provide early warning of accumulating carbon monoxide.

•If the carbon monoxide alarm sounds, move quickly to a fresh air location outdoors or by an open window or door.

•Call for help from the fresh air location and remain there until emergency personnel arrive to assist you.

WINTER WEATHER TRAVEL TIPS •Follow directions from local ofcials •Only travel if necessary •Keep gas tank full and get car serviced before winter months •Winterize your vehicle BUILD AN EMERGENCY CAR KIT •Charged Cell Phone and portable charger •Flashlight and extra batteries •First aid kit •Basic tool kit •Jumper cables, emergency ares and ags •Warm clothes and blankets
