Wayne Lane Newsroom dedicated
By Lynn L. Martin On Saturday, Oct. 19, a sizable crowd filled the hallway outside the newsroom where the Northwestern News is produced. Associate Vice President of University Relations Steve Valencia opened the ceremony, saying, “Today we celebrate the legacy and impact of Mr. Wayne Lane.” He noted that the event's program was printed in black and white. Valencia said that simple color scheme represented the way Lane taught journalism. "There was right and there was wrong. You either had the facts or you didn't. And if you didn't
have the facts, it wasn't going in the Northwestern News." “While it seems impossible to work with such absolutes today, Mr. Lane showed hundreds of brash young journalists that not only was it possible, but it was easy. Just do the right thing.” Valencia said, "Clearly, naming this newsroom after Mr. Lane is the right thing to do." Dr. Janet Cunningham University President Dr. Janet Cunningham also mentioned that the dedication ceremony was being held in a

Lynn Says
Memories of sportswriter Jim Barker By Lynn L. Martin (The funeral for Jim Barker was held Monday at the First Christian Church in Alva, with Ron Pingelton officiating. I was very flattered Saturday when Patty Barker called and asked if I would make some remarks about Jim at the funeral. So I spent some time writing what follows. I was afraid I would ramble if I tried to ad lib it.) We're not sure when Jim Barker started covering sports for the Alva ReviewCourier. We don't have employment records back that far. After Jim retired from his educational career, he and Patty moved back to Alva in 1994. One day, probably in 1996, Jim showed up at the newspaper office with a couple of his dad's “Sports Spasms” columns in hand that had been written for the Alva ReviewCourier. He was wondering if we might be interested in something like that again or if we needed a part-time sportswriter. Being newcomers to the community, we knew nothing about Jim's dad who died in 1961. We arrived in 1969. So we didn't have an appreciation for the rich sports writing legacy of the Barker name. Patty believes the name “Sports Spasms” was dreamed up by thenpublisher Brooks Bicknell. E. M. Barker first did his writing when the family moved to Watonga for about three years. Then they returned to Alva and E.M.’s column became a popular feature in the Alva Review-Courier for many years. St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Even though we lived 500 miles apart, both Jim and I grew up in the heyday of St. Louis Cardinals baseball on the radio. Most of the games were at night. Jim lay in his bed listening to Harry Caray and Jack Buck on KCRC out of Enid and I lay in my bed back in Rolla, Missouri, listening to the same sportscasters on KMOX out of St. Louis. I am only a couple years younger than Jim. After we started working together, we discovered we both started our newspaper careers as paper boys, delivering routes to homes in our communities. We also soon discovered that our favorite boyhood
baseball player was Stan Musial, the great Cardinal first baseman. Patty described how in Alva, St. Louis Cardinals baseball was so popular that you could walk down the street from house to house and hear the continuing play by play. Very few people had air-conditioning in the1950s, so all the doors and windows were open and Cardinals baseball could be heard playing inside nearly every home. After Jim started writing for us, it only took us a couple of days to realize that a very skilled writer had fallen into our laps. Most of his columns were on current sports, but he covered a wide range of topics. Jim had an incredible work ethic. Even in the slow sports months of summer, he rarely missed a day of our (then) five day per week publication schedule. Today, when young college graduates come asking for jobs in sports writing, I point out that most of our work occurs on Friday nights and Saturdays and that's the end of the conversation, with them fleeing saying, “I can't work on weekends.” We miss Jim's work ethic greatly. About a year after Jim started writing for the Review-Courier, another former school administrator, Steve Ward, joined our sports-writing team. The pair traveled to many sporting events together, often switching roles. At one game, Steve Ward would handle the photography and Jim Barker would write the story. Then they would switch and Jim would be the photographer. I talked to Steve Ward on Sunday and he told how he admired Jim Barker's writing style and how very careful he was to proofread his work. He said, “He had VERY high expectations for himself and when his memory starting failing a bit, that caused him to back off of writing for us in 2011.” Our final paycheck to Jim was written in May of 2013. At that time, he made an exception from his retirement and wrote for us one more time. We had begged him to go cover a playoff baseball game in Bethany because our regular writer, Roger McKenzie, was unavailable. When Jim Barker started his career with the newspaper, we all discovered that he was a fount of Alva history. He told how he earned money as a boy by gathering spilled wheat from trucks headed to the elevators and then selling it to Bert Reed
at the hatchery as feed for his chickens. He wrote numerous columns on long-ago area events, some of which were sports-related. The newspaper staff was accustomed to receiving calls from people who wanted to ask Jim questions about area history, or who wanted to provide him with interesting material. Some merely wanted to reminisce about years gone by. One challenge that Jim faced was the technology revolution in the newspaper business. He had to learn new ways to send in news stories and photos from remote locations. I'm sure he picked up a few gray hairs dealing with AOL and telephone modem dial-up connections. He learned how to make his “stat boxes” in Microsoft Word. Jim learned how to use digital cameras instead of film cameras, and to store his photos on flash drives. Marione remembers he occasionally would misplace a story or picture at deadline because his flash drive ended up in the wrong pocket of his shirt, pants or briefcase. Then after a hurried search, he would always find it. Jim was a very honest person. Shortly after he retired, he called me and asked if he could use historical columns he had written for the newspaper to publish a book as a fundraiser for Alva's Cherokee Strip Museum. Of course we said, “Yes,” but that demonstrates Jim's integrity. We would never have said anything had he re-published his work without asking permission, but technically, since he was on our time-clock when he wrote the columns, the copyright belonged to us. This ethical request reinforced my very high regard for Jim Barker. After Jim Barker had been with the newspaper for about a year and a half, Northwestern Oklahoma State University hired him away from us to serve as sports information director. We really hated losing him but we also realized they had made a great choice. Patty told me it was supposed to be a part-time job with parttime pay. However, it ended up being MORE than full-time but still with parttime pay. So we were delighted when Jim gave that job up after a year and returned to the Review-Courier. I would like to quote from one of Jim's columns as I wind this up. In 1999, Jim

Guffy’s seat up for reelection on Burlington School Board, Stricker hired as secretary Wisdom Foundation gives grant to Burlington School By Yvonne Miller In an hour and a half, the Burlington Board of Education conducted monthly business at their October meeting Monday night. President Terry Graham presided over the meeting with all members present: Beth Guffy, Roger Allen, Allison Armbruster and Aaron Smith. Others present were Superintendent Glen Elliott, Principal Shane Feely, minutes clerk Linda Gordon and Secretary Tamre Bohn. This was the last meeting for Gordon to act as minutes clerk. The board thanked Gordon for her hard work and service the last year and wished her well in the future. As Gordon retires, school secretary Tamre Bohn assumes the position. The board agreed to give Bohn a raise, as she'll assume more responsibilities. The board hired Brenda Stricker of Kiowa as the new school secretary. Her son attends school at Burlington. The decision to hire Stricker and make other decisions regarding the secretaries came after a nearly 30-minute executive session. Guffy's Seat to be Decided in February Election Board of Education Office No. 5 with a five-year term that is currently held by Beth Guffy is up for reelection. The board approved a resolution to the Alfalfa County Election Board calling
for an election on Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2015. If needed, a second election will be Tuesday April 7, 2015, beginning at 7 a.m. and closing at 7 p.m. The resolution also authorizes the county election board to print the ballots. The filing period for the board of education candidates will open on Monday, Dec. 1, through Wednesday, Dec. 3, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Contest of candidacy petitions may be filed with the county election board until 5 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 5. Request to close split precincts (220 and 140) with 0 registered voters for the regular election Feb. 10, and the runoff election April 7, as needed. Other Burlington School Board Business Superintendent Elliott announced that teacher Kiley Feely, head of the Music and Band Department, received an approximately $50,000 grant from the Wisdom Foundation to help purchase new equipment for the new band room. Superintendent Elliott said everyone involved in Burlington athletics has done a good job of showing sportsmanship and “wants to keep it up.” The board discussed sportsmanship of fans, administrators, coaches and players, and reviewed the conduct code for the upcoming seasons. Elliott said that Burlington School had zero drop-outs for the 2013-2014
school year. The board discussed remodeling and repairs to the existing school building. They approved and prioritized their list, which included but is not limited to windows, floors, lights, tiles, painting, canopies to the band/safe room and cellar excavation. Elliott said it's difficult to find construction people to do these jobs. A brief discussion was held regarding the 2014-2015 general fund budget. The following encumbrances, change orders and warrants were approved: • general fund encumbrances (194240: $35,876.97), change orders ($122), payroll accrual ($12,242.43) and warrants (315-443, $131,495.68); • building fund warrants (3, $124.25); • child nutrition fund warrants (2133, $9,933.30); and • bond fund encumbrances (1113, $101,044.47) and warrants (11-13, $101,044.47). Other items receiving board approval were: the September activity report; to change the Tuesday, Nov. 18, regular meeting at 8 a.m., to Thursday, Nov. 20, at 8 p.m.; a resolution authorizing the school district to issue non-payable warrants at an interest not to exceed 8 percent; the Agriculture Education contract as an on-going vocational program for the 2014 / 2015 school year. The board also approved a resolution authorizing the treasurer to borrow money from various funds of the school district that cannot at that particular time be used for the purpose which it is intended, “we hereby authorize and direct the school district treasurer to invest those monies as authorized by title 70, section 5-115 of the Oklahoma Statutes and to reinvest from time to time as funds are available.” The board also directed the treasurer to deposit the interest derived from all investments into the fund from which the investment was made to be used for general governmental operations as authorized within that fund. Principal Feely’s report was handed out, which included student accomplishments and upcoming events as reported in the Alva Review-Courier.

Someone had a “golf cart demolition derby” at Anthony Golf Course At least 15 carts totaled, more damaged By Yvonne Miller “Someone played golf cart demolition derby,” at an Anthony, Kansas, golf course, Anthony businessman and golfer Brick Prickett told the Newsgram when contacted Monday. Prickett said the vandalism happened sometime after 8 p.m. Saturday and before Sunday morning when it was discovered. An individual or individuals used bolt cutters to cut the padlocks on approximately 16 private golf sheds at the course, he said. For an unknown reason, the vandals took the golf clubs off the carts and set them aside and did not steal anything, it appeared. Then they took the golf carts out and proceeded to destroy them. Some carts rammed into each other so hard the wheels were knocked off, the motor was broken off on one, and the steering column destroyed on another cart. Prickett said to his knowledge 15 carts were totaled and another six or seven were damaged. He said more carts would have been damaged most likely because there was evidence the vandals attempted to cut the padlocks on three or four more sheds, but didn't succeed. For whatever reason, the shed that holds multiple golf carts did not show signs of a break-in attempt. Prickett said one of the totaled carts was virtually brand new. With cart costs of $2,500 to $3,000 each, (a few less than those amounts), Prickett said the amount of damage was substantial. Ironically, the vandals took the time to push all the damaged golf carts back inside their storage facilities. Some of the
golf course fairways and the rough were damaged and debris left from the act of vandalism. Prickett said Anthony police are investigating the crime, but were not available for comment when contacted by the Newsgram Tuesday. Prickett said he knew that law enforcement spoke to
about everyone who was at the lake on that busy evening looking for answers. The Anthony Republican newspaper forwarded a police report on to the Newsgram that in part said, “The members of the Anthony Police Department are actively investigating the matter and are requesting that anyone with any information to please contact the Anthony Police Department at 620-8425123.”

Barefoot man found outside Crabtree Correctional By Marione Martin A man found barefoot on state property had some interesting explanations for law enforcement. According to court documents, on Oct. 2 just after 7 a.m. Johnson Lee Washington, 56, of Norman was seen by the driver of a James Crabtree Correctional Center (JCCC) transport bus who was taking inmates to the farm for work detail. The driver contacted the prison and waited nearby, engaging the man in conversation. Washington told the driver, Scott Crowley, that he was lost and looking for a phone. He said he and his girlfriend got into an altercation and she threw him out of the car. He also said he had a cellphone but he had lost the battery. JCCC officials stayed with Washington until Helena Chief of Police Jim Dykes arrived to arrest him for trespassing and took him to the Alfalfa County Jail in Cherokee. Alfalfa County Deputy Sheriff Gary Mast read Washington his Miranda rights and Johnson signed a waiver agreeing to talk. Johnson told Mast he didn’t know anything about the prison or the contraband that they found stuck in the fence. He said he was in Norman when his girlfriend Phyllis asked him to ride with her to take her girlfriend Pat home. He said they argued
Thank You!
You meet a lot of people in your life. You have friends, customers, acquaintances, co-workers, And then you have Family.
That is what we had at Share Hospital. The nurses, doctor, and entire staff treated our dad with so much care and compassion. Thanks to ALL OF YOU for all you did for “Bob”. You know he is a “Special Spirit”! He is home and doing well!
The Family of Bob Sterling
because he didn’t know it was going to be such a long ride. Mast asked where Pat lived, and Washington said just this side of Norman. During the interview, Mast noticed that Washington was very erratic in his behavior. He asked him if he was on or taking any prescribed medication. Washington said, “No, no. I’m just tired that’s all.” Washington said he was on blood pressure pills and had just been released from Norman Regional Hospital for being dehydrated. Mast asked a deputy to bring Washington a glass of ice water. Then Washington said he had body lice, and an order of soap was placed with the local drug store to rid him of the problem before he entered the general population of the jail. While Washington was showering, he told Deputy Nusser he felt bad for lying to Mast. After the shower, Mast asked if he wanted to talk again, and Washington said yes. Mast read him his Miranda warning again. Washington said he was walking outside his apartment the morning of Oct. 1 in Norman when four Cripps gang members abducted him at gunpoint. He said he knew one was a Cripps member because of his tattoo. He said they pushed him into a car and blindfolded him. He thought they took him to a basement because it smelled of mold and was damp. He said they kept telling him they had a mission for him. Washington said they showed him pictures of his 11 year old son and his girlfriend and said they would hurt his son if he didn’t do what they told him to do. He told Mast he could not describe or identify his abductors because he was blindfolded the entire time. Mast asked how he saw the pictures of his son and girlfriend if he was blindfolded, but he had no answer. Since Washington was barefooted at the time of his arrest, Mast asked what happened to his shoes. Washington said they took his shoes saying he couldn’t run away without shoes. He said it seemed like a long ride and he kept arguing with the gang members asking them for a phone so he could call someone to come get him. He said one of the guys gave him a phone, which he tried to use several times but it didn’t work. Washington said he waited until daylight hoping that they would see him throw the packages. He said he threw three packages over the fence and threw the fourth as hard as he could directly at the fence. The JCCC perimeter officer found the battery to Washington’s cellphone on the edge of the road at the southwest corner of inmate housing unit six. JCCC only recovered the one package stuck in the fence but from the way it was stuck in the fence, it was apparent that Washington wasn’t just throwing it at the fence. Inside the package were four cellphones, four cellphone chargers, tobacco and a green leafy substance that field tested positive for marijuana. On Oct. 15 in Alfalfa County, Washington was charged with felony possession of cell phone or electronic device in a penal institution. He was also charged with a misdemeanor of trespass after being forbidden.

Cherokee woman wakes to see intruder By Marione Martin How would you react to waking up and seeing a tall stranger standing in the room? According to court documents, Rhonda Pratt of Cherokee told police she woke up on the couch about 2:30 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 9, to see a tall black man standing in her living room. She said her dog woke her up by jumping on her legs. She reacted by telling the man to “get the f--- out of my house now.” Pratt told Cherokee Police Officer Matt Jones that the man was wearing red shorts. She said while she was calling police, the man got in a silver Nissan four-door car with Leslie McDonald and left. Jones drove around looking for the car and saw it driving west on Fifth Street. He
activated his emergency lights to stop the vehicle. While Jones was turning his vehicle around, he saw the silver Nissan speed up and then stop at a residence in the 200 block of Fifth. Jones pulled up behind the vehicle and talked to the driver, Leslie McDonald. He saw that the passenger was wearing red shorts and a red-and-white striped shirt. He identified the passenger as Charles Garner. While Jones talked to McDonald about the odor of alcoholic beverage he smelled, Garner said he was going inside. Jones told him to wait because he was the reason for the stop. He asked Garner why he was going into people’s houses. Garner said, “They answered the door for me.” Jones said that wasn’t the story he received, and Garner then said “she was asleep on the
couch.” Garner also said he went to the wrong house. As Jones talked to Garner, he could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage about his person. Pratt, who lives in the 500 block of W. Main, later wrote in her report that after the intruder ran out the door, she woke her boyfriend and told him what happened. The boyfriend went outside and saw a tall black man in red shorts walking down their road. He confronted the man who denied being in the house. The boyfriend told the man the police were called. The man then got into a silver vehicle with McDonald and took off. Charles Jamel Garner, 22, of Cherokee has been charged with a misdemeanor of breaking and entering.
Waynoka FCCLA hosts North-1 District Meeting On Sept. 30 the Waynoka FCCLA chapter hosted the North-1 District Leadership Meeting. Nineteen schools attended and nearly 500 students were present. The speaker was Curtis Haley with Tri-Leadership. He spoke about his journey through having a brain tumor, what he learned and what he hoped his listeners would take away from his experience. His main point
was the five word phrase, “Today is a good day.” It's a good day, he said, not necessarily because you won the lottery, got a new truck or the cattle market was up, but because you’re alive. You may feel like this is the worst week, month or year of your life, but you’re going to make it through – so, today is a good day. Then a representative from The

Suspicious vehicle check leads to alcohol arrests By Marione Martin Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Darrin stopped to check on a suspicious vehicle at the edge of an oilfield location drive. He ended up arresting the driver and passenger on misdemeanor charges. According to court records, about 3 a.m. on Oct. 12, Lancaster was headed home when he saw the vehicle along Ellis Road, one-tenth of a mile west of County Road 600 in Alfalfa County. He saw a female in the driver’s seat and could tell she was talking to someone. He called to the occupants to come out. The two occupants walked to the back of the vehicle. The driver was identified as Shy-Ann Lakota Swanson, 20, of Fairview. The passenger was Vontray Lashaun Watkins, 28, of Eagletown. Watkins said he had been at the bar drinking and called Swanson to come get him. Both said they were
taking the back roads to Fairview. Lancaster questioned Swanson in his vehicle and observed she had red, bloodshot eyes and dilated pupils. He also smelled a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage. He asked if she had anything to drink, and she said a beer at the bar. She told him she was 20 years old. Lancaster asked Swanson if there were any open containers in the vehicle and she said no. He went to the vehicle and opened the back door on the passenger side where he observed an open bottle of UV Blue Vodka. Swanson said she forgot it was in there. Lancaster then had Watkins come back to his vehicle. He observed Watkins had bloodshot eyes and a very strong odor of an alcoholic beverage about his person. Watkins said he left his vehicle along the side of the road
and had Swanson come and get him. After performing the field sobriety test on her eyes, Lancaster decided not to have Swanson do tests on the roadway because the road and entrance were muddy with tire ruts all over. He asked if she would take another field sobriety test with a breath device, explaining this was not the state’s test. At first she refused, but when he said he was placing her under arrest, she agreed to take the test. However, she just spit into the tube instead of blowing. Lancaster then performed field sobriety tests on Watkins and determined that he was intoxicated. Both were placed under arrest. On Oct. 15 in Alfalfa County, Swanson was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol under 21, a misdemeanor. Watkins was charged with misdemeanor public intoxication.

Fire totals Callison Repair in Kiowa Monday night By Yvonne Miller On Monday night neighbors heard explosions that reportedly rattled windows a few blocks away from Callison Repair, located at 721 N. Ninth St. in the north end of Kiowa, Kansas. Kiowa Fire Chief Roger Robison said a page went out at 10:18 p.m. to Kiowa firefighters about the inferno. He said it took about 30 minutes to contain. Robison said the steel building and its contents are a total loss. “There' s nothing left of any value,” the chief said. When asked about the fire, owner Denny Callison said their friend Teresa Rathgeber, who lives next door to the shop
Northwest Ideal Wellness, LLC
with her husband David, called and alerted him of the fire. He instantly went to the shop, which is just a few blocks north of his home, and tried to move a few vehicles. Callison said they lost everything, including customer's vehicles he was repairing. A tractor owned by Kiowa man Brent Diel burned as did a truck owned by Jerry Wamsley of Alva, and a pickup owned by Kiowa man Fred Mott. He said a piece he was working on for Kiowa man Ron Molz was also heavily damaged. Callison lost his own service pickup, his welder, all his tools and much more. “I had more contents than insurance,” Callison said. When asked about a possible cause for the fire, Callison said, “We're thinking an
electrical fire possibly – that's just what I'm thinking.” The fire marshall will inspect. Callison expressed his appreciation to Ron Molz and Brent Diel who already offered him shop space to start back to work when he can. Dr. Paul and Mary Ellen Wilhelm and their children live directly across the street to the north. Mary Ellen said, “We were in bed and started hearing small pops at first that got bigger. It was scary looking for a while because it just kept popping. It got worse before it got better. There was lots of black smoke.” She said they appreciated Jason Cloyd, the city's Alfalfa Electric Cooperative liaison, coming and turning off the electricity for just a second as a safety precaution.

Thursday, Oct. 16, began the annual Four Corners Quilt Retreat at the Jet Community Building. Twenty women from Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Texas, Iowa and different areas of Oklahoma brought sewing machines, pins and quilting projects to work on until Sunday morning. The theme this year was “A Tisket A Tasket.” When each of the attendees arrived they were given a bag of fabric and directions in making a quilt block. Many beautiful cotton quilt tops were finished by the women and readied
for quilters. At the close of the retreat a drawing was held and the 18 quilt blocks were won by Nancy Brinkley of Buda, Texas, and Sammie Jester of Cheyenne Valley. Each of the attendees brought small gifts that were distributed among the 20 women ranging in age from 10 to 76. All meals were provided to the women. The 2015 retreat will be held Oct. 15-18 and the theme will be “Cabin in the Woods.” Anyone interested in attending may contact Randy Leek at 580-596-5648 or Connie LaGrow at 580-596-2949.

By Sean Murphy OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — State tax incentives for wind energy producers were created when the industry was in its infancy and may need to be re-examined in light of lawmakers' concern over their growing cost, the head of an industry trade group told members of a Senate panel on Tuesday. The incentives have worked well over the last decade, luring 30 wind projects to 15 Oklahoma counties, providing jobs in often economically depressed rural communities and putting cash in the pockets of landowners, said Jeff Clark, executive director of the Wind Coalition. "I would argue that for the $120 million invested to date ... I think you've hit a home run," Clark told members of the Senate Finance Committee. But as the number of wind farms has skyrocketed, so has the projected impact of the tax incentives on the state treasury. Oklahoma went from three farms with 113 turbines a decade ago to more than 30 projects and 1,700
active turbines today. "We want to work with you as an industry to keep Oklahoma competitive for investment and alleviate some of the anxiety you face as a result of the budget implications," Clark said. A five-year property tax exemption for wind assets is projected to cost the state $210 million over the next five years, according to an estimate from the Oklahoma Tax Commission. A second subsidy called the zero-emissions tax credit paid directly to wind companies based on how much power they produce is projected in the same estimate to cost the state $80 million, but OTC Director Tony Mastin told legislators Tuesday that number could potentially be much higher. "I'd say this estimate is probably pretty low," Mastin said. Calculating precise estimates based on recent collections is difficult, Mastin said, in part because the tax credits were temporarily suspended in 2010 and 2011 as the state recovered from the recession. Companies still accrued the credits and began using them on
2012 tax returns, artificially inflating the numbers and making it difficult to project a trend, Mastin said. The Oklahoma Property Rights Association, a group pushing for more restrictions on the wind industry, presented estimates that show the tax credits could cost more than $108 million in 2013 and 2014 alone. "There is no cap or control over the amount of tax credits the state will become obligated for," said Rick Mosier, president of a Claremore real estate development company and a member of the association. "It's a blank check that it's up to you to decide if we can afford." A similar legislative study was held earlier this month in the House, and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission has launched a fact-finding mission into the wind industry at the request of legislative leaders. That inquiry is focused on potential regulations of the industry, including where wind farms can be constructed and what kind of notice they must provide nearby landowners.

Summary of Oklahoma St allegations Below is a list of allegations from Sports Illustrated regarding Oklahoma State, published in 2013. The findings are from independent investigator The Compliance Group (TCG) and the results of an NCAA Notice of Allegations sent to Oklahoma State: Allegation: Student-athletes were paid by boosters and assistant football coaches in part through a "bonus" system based upon big plays or through provision of excessive wages for employment. Findings: No current players reported receiving impermissible payments from coaching staff. One former player said he received approximately $20 from a staff member to buy food for his young son. No players quoted in the article reported that they received payments from boosters. Two reported receiving less than $100 for work not performed, and in both situations, the stories were not corroborated. Information was not substantiated that coaching staff or boosters
paid players for "big hits" or for work not performed. Allegation: Tutors arranged by athletic or university staff completed coursework for players and professors gave grades for little or no work at times. Finding: A football non-coaching staff member possibly provided too much assistance to a former player. Overall, information was not substantiated that Oklahoma State's academic services unit provided excessive assistance. Allegation: Members of Orange Pride, a student hostess group that assisted in recruiting, had sex with recruits. Finding: Current or former players who were interviewed reported they had no sexual activity with any Orange Pride member on their official visit or at any point. The organization was not sufficiently aligned with the admissions office, so all hosting duties performed by Orange Pride members were impermissible. The NCAA's Committee on Infractions could consider this a violation. Allegation: Oklahoma State had widespread marijuana use and the uni-
versity's drug testing policy favored those players who received more playing time. Finding: On four occasions, the applicable penalty for failed drug tests was not applied, but TCG concluded athletic ability was not the reason. The NCAA's notice of allegations says the school failed to follow policies regarding athlete drug use. It said five athletes from January 2008 and October 2012 tested positive for banned substances and were allowed to play without the required corrective or disciplinary action. In one case, the notice says an athlete was not dismissed after a fourth failed test and allowed the athlete to compete during the first half of the season. This would be an infraction. Allegation: Players who were not useful to the program were "cast aside" and many had criminal, drug and other mental health issues, with at least the suggestion that these issues were in part due to them being cast aside. Finding: The TCG report does not directly address this part of the series.

ALLEN, Kan. (AP) — An eastern Kansas school district has fired a bus driver following his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. KWCH-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1sLMu0V ) the 57-year-old man was arrested Monday afternoon after pulling up to Northern Heights High School in Allen, about 20 miles north of Emporia. An employee of the North Lyon County School District notified the sheriff’s office that a driver appeared to be driving under the influence. No students were on the bus. The North Lyon County superintendent said the driver had worked for the district for eight years without any previous problems. The sheriff’s office declined to comment about the driver’s blood-alcohol level. Charges were pending Tuesday.

By Connie Cass And Alicia A. Caldwell WASHINGTON (AP) — Fending off demands to ban travel from Ebola-stricken West Africa, the Obama administration instead tightened the nation's defenses against Ebola by requiring that all arrivals from the disease-ravaged zone pass through one of five U.S. airports. The move responds to pressure from some Congress members and the public to impose a travel ban on the three countries at the heart of the Ebola outbreak, which has killed over 4,500 people, mostly in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, since it emerged 10 months ago. Beginning Wednesday, people whose trips began in Guinea, Liberia or Sierra Leone must fly into one of the five U.S. airports performing fever checks for Ebola, the Homeland Security Department said. Previously, the administration said screenings at those airports covered about 94 percent of fliers from the three countries but missed a few who landed elsewhere. There are no direct flights from those nations into the U.S; about 150 fliers per day arrive by various multileg routes. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said "we currently have in place measures to identify and screen anyone at all land, sea and air ports of entry into the United States who we have reason to believe has been present in Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea in the preceding 21 days." Since screening started Oct. 11 at New York's Kennedy airport, 562 people have been checked at the five airports, according to Homeland Security. Of those, four who arrived at Washington's Dulles airport were taken to a local hospital. No cases of Ebola have been discovered. The other airports are Newark's Liberty, Chicago's O'Hare and Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson. Homeland Security officials at the airports use no-touch thermometers to check for fever, which can be a symp-
tom of Ebola infection. People who have been infected with the virus may not develop a fever and illness for up to 21 days, however. As the U.S. closed a gap in its Ebola screening, an Ebola-free African country said it would begin checking visiting Americans for the disease. Rwanda's health minister said Tuesday that travelers who have been in the United States or Spain — the two countries outside of West Africa that have seen transmission during the Ebola outbreak — will be checked upon arrival and must report on their health during their stay. No Ebola cases have been reported in Rwanda, which is in East Africa. The U.S. Embassy in Rwanda said that country is banning visitors who have recently traveled to Guinea, Liberia, or Sierra Leone, the three countries at the heart of the outbreak, as well as nearby Senegal, which had a single case The change in U.S. policy falls short of demands by some elected officials and candidates for a ban on travel from the West African outbreak zone. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., described the action as an "added layer of protection against Ebola entering our country." The change comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention works to spread the word about its new protective guidelines for medical workers. The advice, released Monday night, had been sought by health workers after two Dallas nurses were infected while caring for a Liberian traveler, the first person diagnosed with the virus in the United States. The CDC said it's still unclear exactly how the nurses were infected, but the stronger rules will provide better protection. CDC officials demonstrated the recommended techniques Tuesday at a training session for several thousand health care workers in New York City. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo urged the health-care workers there to use their training to educate their families and communities. "Keep the anxiety down. Keep the fear down," he said.
Earlier CDC guidelines allowed hospitals some flexibility to use available covering when dealing with suspected Ebola patients. The new guidelines set a firmer standard, calling for full-body garb and hoods that protect worker's necks; setting rigorous rules for removal of equipment and disinfection of hands; and calling for a "site manager" to supervise the putting on and taking off of equipment. They also call for health workers who may be involved in an Ebola patient's care to repeatedly practice and demonstrate proficiency in donning and doffing gear — before ever being allowed near a patient. The CDC cannot require hospitals to follow the guidance; it's merely official advice. The mother of Amber Vinson, one of the sick nurses, said her daughter is "doing OK, just trying to get stronger" at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. Debra Berry said she was glad about the new rules, even though they came too late to help her daughter and fellow Dallas nurse Nina Pham, who is being treated at the National Institutes of Health outside Washington. Pham's condition has been upgraded from fair to good, the NIH said late Tuesday. "It should help ensure that no one has to endure what Amber and what Ms. Pham have had to go through these weeks, and their families," Berry told ABC News. In Rwanda, a Ministry of Health document said all travelers from the U.S. and Spain would have their temperatures taken upon arrival and those with fevers would be denied entry. Dr. Agnes Binagwaho, Rwanda's health minister, said Tuesday the travelers will be required to fill a detailed form upon arrival at border entry points. "It is definitely extra work for us," Bingwaho said. "We have to ensure that all citizens or any other travelers arriving from the above-mentioned countries, including the U.S., have to be screened in an extra careful manner and follow up on them during their stay."

long hallway. She asked, “But what better place could you have this dedication but in the very hallway that Mr. Lane walked.” Cunningham welcomed the family and friends of Wayne Lane so that they all could join in recognizing his legacy and contributions to Northwestern. “For most of his life, he dedicated himself to this institution, this community and most of all, to his students. From 1959 until his retirement in 1988, Mr. Lane served in numerous roles, most of which were all at the same time,” said Cunningham. The president said that his excellent work was recognized in 1987 when he was awarded the prestigious John Sheffield Teacher of the Year award. At the time of his retirement, Lane was given the lifetime title of professor emeritus. Many references were made to a book Lane wrote for the centennial of the university in 1996 entitled “Northwestern, a Centennial History,” which serves as the definitive history of the university. Terry Winn Terry Winn, a student from the class of 1983, was next to speak. He worked under Lane as a student, and later on as an employee of the public relations department. Winn is vice president of university relations and chief human resource officer at Oklahoma Christian University (OCU). Winn's wife Tina also works at

OCU as a professor of psychology and family studies. Winn said he represented the many students who studied under Wayne Lane and that the day was a marker for future generations to know the greatness that walked these halls, and know the kind of person that occupied this office and who taught so many lessons. Winn credited Lane with instilling in him many principles that he still uses in daily decision making in his career. He also mentioned that he and his wife chose to name their first child after Wayne Lane and told how he went to Lane and obtained permission to do so. Winn wound up his remarks by describing three virtues that he believed to be very important about Wayne Lane. The first was that Wayne Lane was a great journalist. Second, he was a great teacher. The third point was that sermons weren't preached in his classroom, but they were lived. He said, “A better Christian example there could never be.” Winn said that Lane's wife, Bettilou, was very popular at the Wednesday night marathons in getting the newspaper prepared because she would bring chicken pot pie or pot roast. “With that great food, she was nurturing us and mothering us,” Winn said. He said he suspected that many of the students timed their arrival at the newsroom so they would get there just in time for Bettilou's dinner. He also men-
tioned how much the students enjoyed their little mascot, Rachel, who made the newsroom a better place as well. The final speaker was Lane's widow, Bettilou Lane. She drew chuckles from the crowd when she asked how many had received the “lifted eyebrow” look from Wayne. Bettilou looked at her notes and said she started with about six pages. Then she narrowed it down to three, and finally ended up with one. She used one of Lane's hats to illustrate that many hats he wore in his life including being a Christian, a son, a brother, a classmate, a military man, husband, father, teacher, colleague and friend. “Of all the many hats he wore, he wore each with pride, with dignity and love,” she said. “Mr. Northwestern” would have been an appropriate title for Wayne. He made an impact and he made his mark. After Bettilou Lane completed her remarks, a large graphic was uncovered that included Lane's portrait, along with numerous smaller photos of scenes and people important to his legacy along with a written description of his career. This will be posted in the newsroom. Next, a metal plaque was unveiled, which is mounted on the wall outside the newsroom entrance. The plaque describes the name of the room and provides some details about Lane.
Lynn
wrote about an Alva Mural Society dinner and auction. Fred Wenninger was offering helicopter rides. Here's what Jim wrote, “Upon receiving a not-too-gentle nudge in the ribs from my red-headed spouse, she informed me simultaneously that she would like to take one of those whirlybird flights. I put in a few feeble bids and then chickened out when it got to the point where I felt it was out of my league. “But an ardent supporter of Alva arts was Wayne Kinzie. Seeing the fire in Patty's eyes and deducing a way to chip in with more mural funds, he continued the bidding.” Wayne won and passed the
prize to Jim and Patty. The remainder of the column describes the helicopter flight, which ended this way: “He (Fred Wenninger) hovered for a few seconds over the old POW water tower and then took a swooping dive into the landing area. I'm guessing he was a little late for his dinner appointment that evening. So for whoever may have been irate at him for that, just bear this in mind: He provided a genuine thrill for a pair of land-locked country folks that may not be equaled in their lifetimes.” Jim was always a gentleman, listening to the most rambling of tales of
an avid reader, or dealing with someone whose child did not receive sufficient coverage for his sports exploits. He was conscientious about accuracy in names, stats and other facts. When he made an occasional error, he would correct it and apologize in his column. Toward the end of his newspaper career, he made a few more errors than he found acceptable and decided to hang up his reporter's hat. Jim left a sports writing legacy that remains in the hearts and minds of his large fan base and big shoes to fill at the newspaper. As I told Patty yesterday, Jim was a sweetheart of a guy.
