`Heart’ of the Heartland shows patriotic colors at wounded Green Beret fundraiser By Yvonne Miller Former Green Beret Eric Reed said if the BBQ and auction fundraiser in Kiowa last Saturday night for the Harriman-Miller Green Beret Organization raised near $30,000 it would be “a home run.” When the total was over $39,000 he said, “We hit it out of the park!” “It’s great because the money will help so many guys who need it,” Reed said of the wounded Green Berets and families of the fallen who will benefit. Reed volunteers for the HarrimanMiller Green Beret Organization based
in North Carolina. The organization provides timely assistance to wounded soldiers and their families in their time of need. With the help of corporate and individual sponsors, they coordinate Wounded Warrior hunts, fishing expeditions and VIP attendance at sporting events throughout the year across the nation. A native of Kiowa, Reed is paying it forward and knew his hometown would support his effort. He proudly said that all the guys who help with Harriman-Miller are volunteers so all the money goes to help those who were injured and also families of the fallen.
Over 200 (a sellout) filled Kiowa’s Community Building Saturday night where there was lots of fun and an abundance of generosity. Reed’s mother, Gayla Reed of Kiowa, said, “I cannot tell you how many people helped us – the whole community came together.” She mentioned the local VFW, Border Line Theatre, Pistol Packin’ Mamas and countless individuals. One of the wounded warriors who attended the BBQ and auction was so amazed by the generosity of the community he said

The most dangerous products in your home
By Lynn L. Martin (This is not authored by me. I found it at a web site called chron.com and thought it might be useful to parents and grandparents of small children.) Accidental poisonings from squishy laundry detergent packets sometimes mistaken for toys or candy landed more than 700 U.S. children in the hospital in just two years, researchers report. Coma and seizures were among the most serious complications. But these are just one of the recent add-on to the growing list of dangerous household items. Read through this list to to see which things in your home you should pay special attention to for the safety of your children. Children’s Charms and Jewelry U.S. product safety authorities launched an investigation into the presence of the toxic metal cadmium in children’s jewelry imported from China. Barred from using lead in children’s jewelry because of its toxicity, some Chinese manufacturers

substitute the more dangerous heavy metal cadmium in sparkling charm bracelets and shiny pendants being sold throughout the United States. High Chairs In a 2013 report published in Clinical Pediatrics, research shows about one child each hour is brought to the emergency room due to a high chair-related injury. US emergency departments treated about 9,400 kids for high chair or booster seat related injuries. Bassinets A series of recalls over the past several years put the spotlight on some of the dangers of bassinets. Parents need to be aware of falling and suffocation hazards for their babies. Dressers Children tend to climb dressers and tall pieces of furniture in order to reach items that have been put out of their reach. More than 43,000 “falling furniture” injuries are reported annually, and about 60 percent involve children. Drop-Side Cribs The crib’s plastic hardware can break or deform, causing the drop side to detach. When the drop side detaches, it creates space between the drop side and the crib mattress. Infants and toddlers can roll into this space and become entrapped, which can lead to suffocation. Trampoline Trampoline jumping has resulted
in so many injuries that the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a warning against home trampoline use. A study found that from 2002 to 2011, more than 1 million trampoline injuries (almost all happen at home) cost $1 billion in emergency hospital care. Magnets Numerous items found in homes use magnets. Injuries involve products that consist of small, round magnets being swallowed by children. Strollers Over the past several years Consumer Reports and the Consumer Product Safety Commission found several strollers that could pose a risk of strangulation. Tube Televisions Old tube televisions are dangerous because they are so heavy, and people often place them on top of wall units where they can fall. Televisions are involved in 62 percent of furniturerelated deaths. In the majority of the cases, the child was struck in the head while climbing on a piece of furniture in a bedroom. Baby Slings The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a warning that baby slings may pose a risk of suffocation. Research from the past two decades found at least 14 deaths associated with sling-style infant carriers. Twelve of the deaths involved babies younger than four months of age.

South Barber finances better than anticipated with declined enrollment By Yvonne Miller At the November meeting of the South Barber Board of Education Monday night, Superintendent Brad Morris told members after the official audit, the budget variance is “lots better than we anticipated.” South Barber USD 255 has 223 students for 2014-15. Last year they had 235 students on which the budget was based. Weighted enrollment factors such as transportation, number of at-risk, etc. can increase your overall number of full time equivalent (FTE) students. So the official audit numbers submitted for USD 255 were 524.7 FTE. The audited FTE is slightly higher at 524.8. The budget approved in August was $2,056,968. The audited budget is $2,021,144 which is a variance of $35,824 and is less of a loss for the district than first calculated. “I’ve already identified places where we can cut or hold,” the superintendent said, adding that he anticipates cuts to education in the spring. All members attended the meeting except Mark Pollock who had a daughter in the junior high basketball tournament at Cherokee. They are: Dana Roark, Mike Anderson, President Steve Allen, Jeff Black, Deb Helfrich and Dooli Rugg. Board Clerk Julie Johnson also sat at the board table with Superintendent Morris. Those were the only people at the meeting besides the press. In the remainder of his report to the
board, Morris said that Eric Molz excavated the area behind the vo-ag building where there was a mold problem. He said the key card entry system at both the jr/sr high and elementary buildings are finalized. Webbs Resigns from Transportation The board accepted the resignation of longtime Transportation/Maintenance Director Dale Webb, effective Dec. 31. The resignation of Linda Webb was also accepted, effective Nov. 21. She was driver of the Sharon special education route. Kiowa woman Pam Cox received the board’s approval as driver of the Sharon special education route. More South Barber Board Business The board held a five-minute executive session to discuss non-elected personnel matters with no action taken upon return to open session. After discussion, the board approved a maintenance contract with P1 Group for service on the elementary school. P1 did the major improvement projects at that building last year. Superintendent Morris said, “We’re not equipped to work on that high tech equipment.” He added,”P1 has been great to work with.” The board approved an option with P1 that Morris described as “a Cadillac plan” and has a five -year extended warranty. Cost is $20,916 per year. It can be broken into monthly payments of $1,700. A classified employee retirement plan was discussed and approved. This is for employees who have 10 or more years with the district. Cooks are nine-month
classified employees while custodial is a 12-month position. Upon retirement, they’ll all receive $10 for each day of (accumulated) unused sick leave. The 12-month classified employees will also receive $10 for each unused vacation day. Morris noted that certified personnel (teachers) already have such a plan. Payment of current bills totaling $516,093.26 was approved. Principals Update on Students and Activities HOPL All-League Volleyball Honors go to SBHS Lady Chieftains Bailey Roberts.

By Marione Martin A Carmen man is facing four felony charges in Alfalfa County following an investigation into child pornography. Levi Colton Duncan, 24, of Carmen is charged with soliciting sexual conduct or communication with a minor and three counts of pornography – possess juvenile pornography. There was also a warrant for his arrest in Texas. According to court documents, Texas Ranger Trace McDonald contacted the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) regarding a child pornography case involving a suspect in Carmen, Oklahoma. Also investigating was Detective Barry Moore of the Mansfield, Texas, Police Department. The OSBI then contacted District Attorney’s Investigator Steve Tanio. On Nov. 3, Tanio spoke to Moore who told him on Oct. 30, 2014, about 1:20 a.m. a mother reported her juvenile daughter was having sexual contact with Levi Duncan, 24, from Oklahoma. The mother said she learned Duncan had traveled to Mansfield, Texas, and stayed in a hotel. She said her daughter had gone to the hotel and engaged in sexual intercourse with Duncan.
Det. Moore said the girl stated she had initially met Duncan on Facebook and on another social media site. The mother learned Duncan traveled to Mansfield, Texas, during the weekend of Oct. 2427 and stayed at the Best Western Hotel. The mother reported she had viewed her daughter’s cell phone and observed text messages between Duncan and her daughter discussing their dating relationships. Moore also told Tanio he had reviewed sexually explicit child pornography images on the girl’s cellphone which she had taken at the direction of Duncan and later sent to his cellphone. Moore said he was currently in possession of the daughter’s cellphone and that Duncan was using a voice over internet protocol (VOIP) to consistently attempt to contact the daughter. Moore also provided Tanio with a copy of Duncan’s Facebook page which had a photograph of Duncan and the girl together. Also on Nov. 3 Moore provided Tanio with an arrest affidavit and arrest warrant for Levi Duncan with a Texas second degree charge of sexual assault – child. Moore said the Texas courts had set bond for Duncan at $150,000.
Tanio ran a criminal history check for Levi Duncan and found a prior Alfalfa County criminal record which indicated he had been arrested on Jan. 25, 2014, for obstruction of an officer. On Nov. 3, Tanio along with other law enforcement officers executed a search warrant on Duncan’s Alfalfa County residence. Others involved were Alfalfa County Undersheriff Glenn Oister, Deputies Loren Nusser and Dillion Munholland, Cherokee Police Officer Matt Jones, Sheriff Rick Wallace, Dewey County Deputies James Bailey and Nathan Branson, Detective Moore and Texas Ranger McDonald. During the search an iPhone with an AT&T micro SD card was located and seized. Deputy Bailey, who is also an Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force member, told Tanio he had conducted a forensic preview of the seized iPhone and observed child pornography images. He showed Tanio approximately 20 sexually explicit images including a full frontal nude and a close up of the genital area. On Nov. 3, Moore, McDonald and Tanio conducted a post-Miranda videotaped interview of Duncan. During the interview, Duncan made several admissions regarding sexual contact with the victim. He admitted the sexual activity took place in Texas, that he obtained 1520 sexually explicit images of the victim, and that he knew her to be under the age of 18. Duncan admitted he knew it was wrong to have nude images of an underage girl because it was child pornography, and he knew this because his mother was a longtime secretary for a defense attorney in Cherokee. He provided a handwritten statement regarding his admission.

By Bethany Morford 4-H – A Treasure Chest of Opportunities! Our fair theme for 2014 has definitely proved true for me in my 12 years of 4-H. Hi, my name is Bethany Morford from the Gyp Hill Pioneers 4-H Club. I come from a family of six girls and one boy, and my parents’ names are Jay and Gloria Morford. Our family has always been a 4-H family, since my oldest sister turned seven years old. I am number 7 in the line-up, so I never knew life without 4-H! My mother is a teacher as well as a 4-H leader for our club, and she taught me the importance of giving back to my community anytime there was an opportunity. Sometimes she pushed me harder than I thought she should, but it has made me a good citizen, and a stronger person. I know that I would not learn all these skills and spend as much time with my parents working on them if I were not a 4-H member. I am also very involved in my school and community. My senior year in high school was a great year, I participated in volleyball, choir, school play, forensics, softball and several clubs. I love my church, and enjoy the youth group, which is very active. As I pause from the busyness of life to write this story, many memories flood my mind. I have had several new experiences this year in addition to all the usual events, and it has been another year of growing, learning and molding me into the person I have become. I was installed as the secretary of our club for
this year. I also signed up for several committees and as a project leader for foods levels 1 and 2 and junior project leader for photography. In May, I had another new experience in my 4-H career. I was delighted to find out earlier in the spring that I had been awarded a state scholarship! That earned me an invitation to be a guest at the Emerald Circle Banquet in Manhattan, Kansas. How excited I was to finally have the opportunity to attend that statewide event. I was awarded the Southwest Kasnas Extension Step Ahead Scholarship that night. I felt like royalty while there, and the decorations were beautiful. I met several interesting people at the reception beforehand, and was quite honored to receive this award. It was great culminating event to experience as I was ending my 4-H career! I served as the foods levels 1 and 2 project leader. We decorated Valentine cookies to give to the 4-H Journal sponsors. I had a meeting to bake bars and cookies for a Relay for Life fundraiser. The last meeting was about vegetables and I taught about how many vitamins and minerals are in them, and gave them some recipes for vegetable dishes and snacks to make. I also gave two different food demonstrations throughout the year. I demonstrated how to make cream cheese mints, and I demonstrated corn dip at our March club meeting. At the Pratt Project Carnival, I helped my partner with making tortillas,
which involved measuring and kneading. The leadership project has been very beneficial to me through my 4-H career. Leadership is not something that comes natural to me, and 4-H has given me some confidence and life long skills in this area. My first leadership position was to be the secretary of our club. I realized how important it is to take good notes and pay attention to everything that is said, so my records are accurate. I attended the Officer Training in Pratt, which was good to help me get started. I was also elected as a county officer this year. I served as the treasurer of the county council, which was a good place to start for my first year as an officer at that level. As I conclude my final 4-H story, I want to say thank you to all my leaders, extension agents, parents, family and friends in 4-H. 4-H has helped me to become a strong leader, public speaker, good cook, avid photographer, and most importantly a person with better character. I have learned the value of working hard, being a good citizen, taking responsibility and cooperating with others to accomplish great things. As I go through the next chapter of my life, which is college at Central Christian in McPherson, Kansas; I know I will use many of the skills that I have learned and developed through my 4-H experiences. I love photography and will be minoring in that field because of 4-H and my wonderful photography leader, Joan Jacobs. Thank you 4-H!

passenger side of the vehicle. He saw that the door seal on the passenger side of the truck had been removed along with some other interior items. Webster asked Shelton and Schwerdtfeger what they were doing. Shelton said, “I’m looking for keys.” Webster noted that Shelton’s speech was slurred. Webster pointed out that the keys were in the ignition, but Shelton did not respond. He continued to look around the vehicle. Schwerdtfeger said, “He’s drunk.” Then he said, “He has PTSD and I don’t know what to do with him.” Webster asked Schwerdtfeger to step away from the vehicle and speak with him. He asked what was going on. Schwerdtfeger said, “He’s been having a bad time, he’s been drinking, this is as bad as I’ve seen him.” He also said that Shelton “took a Xanax and drank a beer.” As they talked, Webster observed a black container that read “Kobalt” sitting on the truck bed railing. The container was unzipped and partially open. Webster saw a syringe inside. He asked Schwerdtfeger to open the container and he did. Inside Webster saw a silver spoon with burnt residue and a small cotton-like sponge on it. He also saw two empty syringes, three lighters, a packing of rolling papers, two syringe caps, two small cotton sponges, a black pill bottle container and a prescription pill bottle. Webster opened the black pill bottle and immediately smelled the distinct odor of marijuana and saw a green leafy substance and a partially smoked hand-rolled joint. The prescription pill bottle was issued to Lendl Detwiler and contained nine pills later identified as Tizadine HCL 4 mg which is not a controlled substance but does require a prescription. Webster handcuffed and detained both
men and read them their Miranda Rights. He asked who owned the black Kobalt container but neither took ownership. He asked what was on the spoon and what was in the syringes, and Shelton said, “Mostly opiates.” Webster advised them that they were under arrest. Webster asked each of the men if they had anything illegal on them before he checked them. Shelton said he had a syringe in his right front pocket but it was capped. Webster checked him but did not find any additional items on him. Shelton also said he was currently on two years’ probation for a possession of marijuana charge out of Major County. Webster asked Shelton if there was anything else illegal at the campsite, in his truck or in the tent. Shelton said there was not and stated, “You can check it all.” After placing the two men in his patrol vehicle and requesting a wrecker, Webster conducted an inventory of the vehicle and the campsite. In a black removable center console, he found a loaded, unused syringe. Alfalfa County Deputy Gary Mast arrived and transported Shelton, Schwerdtfeger and Shelton’s dog to the Alfalfa County Jail. The men were booked in and the dog was turned over to a family member. Webster received a call from Undersheriff Glenn Oister who said he and Deputy Mast were present during the booking process of the men. He said Shelton had fresh track (needle injection) marks on his right arm on the inside of the elbow. Oister also told him Schwerdtfeger had track marks on both arms on the inside of the elbow. Both Shelton and Schwerdtfeger have been charged with felony possession of a controlled dangerous substance in the presence of a minor under 12 or within 1000 feet of a park.
Two charged with drug possession By Marione Martin A couple of men appeared to be working on a vehicle at a campsite at the Great Salt Plains Lake so a park ranger stopped to check on them. According to court records, on Thursday, Nov. 6, Ranger Ryan Webster was on patrol about 7:40 p.m. when he saw the two men working on the only truck at the River Road Campground site. Michael Rodney Shelton, 24, of Enid was inside the truck in the driver’s seat. It was later learned the truck belonged to him. Ross Eric Schwerdtfeger, 25, of Douglas was standing on the passenger side of the truck with the door open. Ranger Webster noticed an open can of Bud Light beer on the dash on the

Timberlake FFA’s October events The month of October was a busy one for the Timberlake FFA chapter. At the beginning of the month many students competed at the Tulsa State Fair. Out of those students, several had great success. Jake Thorp won Reserve Breed Champion Shorthorn Steer, Cheyenne Gaff won Breed Champion York Barrow, and Jamie Thorp placed very well with her Maine-Anjou steer. Henslee Powell, Taylor Powell, Shaelee Sissom, Reanna Sissom, Kashen Jackson, Cade Jenlink, Ethan Jenlink, Leo Moore, Emily Flanagan and Mattie Flanagan also showed their livestock at Tulsa and placed well in their classes. Within the month students were involved with many other activities as well. An opening ceremonies team represented the Timberlake FFA chapter at the Alva P.I. contest in Ringwood. The team was made up of Anothony Wiens, Kamber LeForce, Kylee Wiens, Cade Jenlink, Shaelee Sissom and Kalynn LeForce. Meanwhile, our sporting clay team participated in the northwest district skeet shoot. The junior team consisted of Jake Thorp, Trevor McClain, Denton McAlister and Brysen Seaman. The members of the senior team were Kashen Jackson, Braden Robinson, Landon McClain and Zeb McCollum. Two weekends in a row Cheyenne Gaff traveled out of state to compete with her show pigs at national level shows. At the Platt Invitational in Indiana, Cheyenne placed first in her class with a crossbreed gilt. The next weekend at the American Royal in Kansas City she showed a Duroc and a crossbreed barrow and placed high in her classes with both. Towards the end of the month the FFA chapter hosted their own Halloween Party inviting all of the chapter’s FFA members. Students enjoyed a pumpkin carving contest, a chili cook-off, and a costume contest. The winners of the pumpkin carving were: Kayltynn Frech, Dawson Springer, Brysen Seaman, Kamber LeForce and Kalynn LeForce. The chili cook-off winners were: Jamie Thorp, Kamber and Kalynn LeForce, and Shannon Moore. The costume contest champions: Karli Henderson, Jake Woodall and Jamie Thorp. In the midst of a busy month, FFA members are also preparing for the Timberlake FFA Labor Auction on Nov. 13. Students have been busy in the shop with welding and creative woodwork projects, such as clocks, lamps, decorative horseshoe crosses, candle holders and even a deer stand. These projects will sell at the Labor Auction. We would like to invite community supporters and businesses to attend our labor auction on the 13th at 6 p.m. Your support will be greatly appreciated.

Gas prices fall nearly 15 cents in Oklahoma
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The average price of gasoline is down by nearly 15 cents per gallon across Oklahoma since last week. AAA Oklahoma said Tuesday that the statewide average for a gallon of self-serve regular is $2.83. AAA spokesman Chuck Mai said lower crude oil prices may result in the lowest gas prices for the Thanksgiving Day holiday since 2009. AAA noted that the unexpected decision by Saudi Arabia to lower the price per barrel for crude sold to the United States helped reduce the price at the pump. Prices in selected cities in Oklahoma range from $3.11 per gallon in Guymon to $2.69 in Shawnee. Motorists in Oklahoma City are paying an average of $2.74 per gallon while those in Tulsa are paying $2.84.

Medical Practice Closing After 35 years of practicing medicine in Alva, I have made the decision to close my office as of 12/31/2014. I have given this decision careful thought and consideration over the past 2 years. I have also contemplated and attempted to align with other medical facilities. I found that the best decision for me and my family would be to close my practice in Alva. I have many great memories of the many generations of families that I have cared for over the years. Therefore, the decision to leave Alva has brought me great sadness. With all the changes in healthcare and government mandates over the past 5 years, and the numerous mandates to come; solo practice is becoming a thing of the past. I want to thank all of my patients and the Alva community for their loyalty and support over the past 35 years. I will miss you greatly. My office staff will assist you during this transition in getting your medical records to another physician. Sincerely, Dr. Kirt Bierig (Doc B)

Homeless shelters fill as arctic air hits Oklahoma By Tim Talley OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Officials at the Jesus House homeless shelter opened a seasonal cold-weather shelter Monday amid forecasts that a massive blast of arctic air would push temperatures below freezing overnight and give Oklahomans an early taste of wintry weather. By Tuesday morning, all 14 of the Oklahoma City shelter's makeshift cold-weather beds were full, executive director Mike Bateman said. But there were many more homeless people who had no refuge from the wintry weather, Bateman said.
"It's humbling," Bateman said Tuesday after a cold front brought an early chill to the state. "I'd love to be able to house all that need it. But we find some that just like to stay out there." The shelter's cold-weather beds will likely remain full for the remainder of the week following the arrival of a cold front that pushed through the state overnight with wind gusts of up to 49 mph. By Tuesday morning temperatures were mostly in the 20s and 30s across the state. "We had a fairly strong cold front move through the area," said Vivek Mahale, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Norman. Mahale said that in Oklahoma City, where Monday's high temperature was 80 degrees, the low Tuesday morning was 30 degrees — a 50-degree drop. "We're going to be below average on the temperatures the rest of the week," Mahale said. High temperatures will only reach the low to mid 30s on Wednesday and Thursday and highs will be in the low 40s and 30s through Sunday, Mahale said. And there is a chance of rain or snow beginning Saturday night, he said. About a half-dozen shelters open their doors to Oklahoma City's homeless population during cold-weather events including the Jesus House, a non-denominational shelter that supports the homeless, hungry and poverty stricken, and the City Rescue Mission, a private,
faith-based nonprofit organization that offers support for the homeless. City Rescue Mission can shelter as many as 640 men, women and children and averages about 550 people a night during the winter months, said Chad Green, vice president of the mission. "Whenever we have short stints of cold weather, it mostly just impacts our most fragile street population," Green said. About 40 individuals sought refuge in the shelter Monday night and Tuesday morning as temperatures plunged, Green said. "Whenever the weather is bad, the priority is to get them out of danger's way. We kind of pull off all barriers," Green said. "We will begin to see families and individuals who are really in a moment of crisis. They come to the shelter in that state." While homeless residents sought shelter from the cold weather, others who are required to work outdoors scampered for their warm weather gear, including Oklahoma City firefighters who had to battle a residential fire Tuesday morning amid gusty winds and sub-freezing temperatures, said Deputy Chief Marc Woodard. The fire in a vacant house on the city's southwest side had spread throughout the structure by the time firefighters arrived about 6 a.m., Woodard said. "We were able to contain the fire without any damage to the home next door," he said. But gusty winds hampered the firefighters' work. "The wind always affects our operation. Last night they were howling pretty bad," Woodard said. No one was injured in the blaze, he said.

By John Hanna TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Civil liberties attorneys told the U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday that delaying gay marriages in Kansas will harm same-sex couples and their families, while the state would not be significantly affected if it can't keep enforcing its ban. The American Civil Liberties Union responded to a request from Kansas to the high court to maintain the state's ban. The state wants to continue enforcing its policy against gay marriage while the federal courts review a legal challenge filed by the ACLU on behalf of two lesbian couples. A federal judge last week ordered the state to stop enforcing its ban as of 5 p.m. CST Tuesday, but Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt appealed to the nation's highest court. Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Monday put the judge's order on hold — but asked the ACLU to respond, setting the deadline an hour before the judge's order was to take effect. "While this case remains pending in this Court, children will be born, people will die, and loved ones will fall unexpectedly ill," the ACLU attorneys said in their response. "The substantive legal protections afforded by marriage can be critical, if not life-changing, during such major life events and personal crises."
Same-sex marriage is legal in 32 states. In Nebraska, the ACLU announced Tuesday that it will file a federal lawsuit next week to challenge that state's ban. A federal judge struck down a voter-approved ban in the state constitution in 2005, only to see a federal appeals court reverse that decision a year later — well before federal courts began striking down such bans in other states. Gay-rights advocates in Kansas weren't sure when or where gay couples would be able to get marriage licenses there because of the tangle of litigation over the issue, which also includes a separate state case. Schmidt argues that the complex legal situation argues for keeping the ban in place for now. Kansas never has recognized samesex marriages, and voters overwhelmingly approved an amendment to the state constitution in 2005 to reinforce the gay marriage ban. But gay couples in Kansas began seeking marriage licenses after the U.S. Supreme Court refused Oct. 6 to hear appeals from five other states seeking to preserve their gay-marriage bans following adverse lower-court rulings. In Kansas, state district court clerks' offices issue marriage licenses after a mandatory three-day wait. Chief judges in Douglas and Sedg-
wick County directed their clerks' offices not to issue licenses to same-sex couples, prompting the ACLU's federal lawsuit. But the chief judge in Johnson County, in the Kansas City area and the state's most populous county, ordered licenses to be issued. That prompted Schmidt to file a petition with the Kansas Supreme Court, hours before the ACLU filed its federal lawsuit. One lesbian couple in Johnson County obtained a license and married in the meantime. The Kansas court said marriage license applications from same-sex couples could be accepted but not issued until its case is resolved. That order remained in effect Tuesday. Schmidt has argued that if the federal judge's injunction takes effect, it will apply only in Douglas and Sedgwick counties, because their court clerks were sued. But Bonney believes the federal order would apply statewide. Tom Witt, executive director of the gay rights group Equality Kansas, said it's not clear how court clerks in each of the state's 105 counties would react. "I think you're still going to see questions around the state — and different answers," Witt said.
ACLU: Gay Kansas couples harmed by marriage delay
New kidney transplant clinic to open in Wichita WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wesley Medical Center plans to partner with Research Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri to establish a kidney transplant clinic. Wesley spokesman Nick Adams told The Wichita Eagle (http://bit.ly/11enZkj ) that though an exact date hasn't been determined yet, the new Research Medical clinic will likely open sometime next month. He said both hospitals think there's a need in the community for the clinic. "And a clinic like this is scalable: We can increase or decrease the amount of (physician) time spent in the clinic based on the volume," Adams said. "We've got
space and we've got infrastructure, and we can have those physicians here as much as needed, kind of a lower-risk business venture." Another Kansas City hospital, Saint Luke's Hospital, opened a kidney transplant clinic in Wichita in August. Nephrologist Dennis Ross of Kansas Nephrology Physicians said another Wichita kidney clinic offers more options for patients needing transplants. "They have a choice, now," he said. He said he didn't know if there were enough patients to support more than one kidney transplant clinic in the southern Kansas city.
According to its website, Research Medical has performed more than 1,000 kidney transplants. Saint Luke's has performed more than 1,400, its website states. Saint Luke's said in a statement its Wichita clinic has seen more than 150 patients since it opened and that one has received a kidney transplant. "We believe it is part of our mission to serve patients in the communities where they live with life-saving treatment," the statement said. "We view our partnership with the Wichita community as a privilege, and look forward to being there for many years to come."

Heart
he’d like to live in this rural Kansas town. While the mood was festive, the reality of why the money is needed hit like a brick wall as the crowd watched video of a roadside bombing that critically injured Green Beret Dave Glenn who was a medic. The blast robbed him of his legs, blasted debilitating facial, arm and hand damage and more, but somehow he survived after endless surgeries. Glenn attended the event Saturday night. Kiowa veteran Mike Miller said if Glenn were wearing long pants and walking across the room you would never know he had artificial limbs. Even after his accident Glenn did further military service and jumped out of airplanes. “He can do just about anything,” Miller said of Glenn. Glenn is going to work for former Green Beret John Wayne Walding who owns Five Toes Custom Gun Shop near Dallas. As reported in previous Newsgram articles, Walding employs wounded warriors as his way of helping them find a purpose. Walding himself is an amputee and recipient of the Silver Star Medal. Walding hand-crafted a .308
custom sniper rifle that was given away in a drawing at the fundraiser. The winner was Roger Lewis of Texas who is related to Dot Humphrey and Carra Mayberry of Kiowa. A big ticket item was a Nemo Arms .300 Blackout that sold for $3,000 to Tom Summers of Kiowa. The threeday precision shooting course taught by former Green Beret snipers was purchased by Kiowa man Zak Schurter for $1,000. Bidders gave a handsome price for the abundance of other guns and smaller auction items. “We want everyone to know how much we appreciate their support,” Gayla Reed said. Besides Glenn, two other buddies of Reed’s attended the event. They are Art Pue, former Green Beret, and Jake Myers, a former Army Ranger who said he wanted to help “even if I’m not a Green Beret!” Not sure who enjoyed visiting with each other the most – the military guys or the hometown crowd. One thing is certain, each person in that room supporting the cause is thankful for the sacrifice of all soldiers. Seeing Glenn with his injuries once again reminds that freedom is not free.

Doctor who had Ebola leaves New York City hospital By Colleen Long and Jennifer Peltz NEW YORK (AP) — Hugging the health workers who cared for him, a doctor who recovered from Ebola said Tuesday he was a living example of effective treatment and urged support for those combating the virus' outbreak in West Africa. "Today, I am healthy," a smiling Dr. Craig Spencer said as he was released after nearly three weeks in Bellevue Hospital, where he had been the last Ebola patient under treatment nationwide. "Please join me in turning our attention back to West Africa," where the virus has killed thousands of people this year, he added after thanking Bellevue staffers who treated him and getting a hug from the mayor. Spencer, 33, was diagnosed Oct. 23, days after returning from treating Ebola patients in Guinea with Doctors Without Borders. His was the first Ebola case in the nation's largest city, spurring an effort to contain anxieties along with the virus. Hours after his release, his fiancee was released from being quarantined at their Harlem apartment. Officials said she would instead be monitored, along with nearly 300 other people, including some Bellevue workers and recent travelers from West Africa. Mayor Bill de Blasio praised New Yorkers for not panicking, the city's public health system for its preparedness and effectiveness and Spencer for showing "us what it means to help your fellow human." The emergency room physician, who is expected to return to work soon at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/ Columbia University Medical Center, had done medical work overseas several times before he spent more than five weeks caring for Ebola patients, alongside Guinean colleagues he called "the heroes that we are not talking about." "I cried as I held children who were not strong enough to survive the virus," Spencer recalled. "But I also experienced immense joy when patients I treated were cured." After his own diagnosis, some of those patients called from Guinea to wish him well, he said. Spencer's treatment included a transfusion of blood plasma from another Ebola survivor, health officials said. Officials have stressed that Ebola is not airborne and can be spread only through direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person who is showing symptoms. Still, news of Spencer's infection unnerved some New Yorkers, particularly after they learned that he rode the subway, dined out and went bowling in the days before he developed a fever and tested positive. But "Welcome Home" balloons were tied outside to greet the doctor when he got home Tuesday, and neighborhood residents such as Timothy Brewer were sanguine about New York's experience with Ebola: "The city has a handle on it," he said.
After Spencer's diagnosis, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie responded by announcing a mandatory 21-day quarantine for travelers who have come in close contact with Ebola patients. That touched off a debate over how far government should go in keeping tabs on health care workers who treat Ebola. Spencer said he was "a living example" of the success of self-monitoring procedures, quick detection and isolation, and he expressed concern about health and aid workers being stigmatized on returning home. "Volunteers need to be supported to help fight this outbreak at its source," he said. Only a few people have been treated for Ebola in the United States. One, Liberian visitor Thomas Eric Duncan, died; the others recovered. Meanwhile, a nurse who said she defied quarantines in New Jersey and Maine on behalf of all health care workers returning from fighting Ebola in West Africa ended a 21-day Ebola incubation period late Monday. Kaci Hickox, who had treated patients in Sierra Leone, said she and her boyfriend plan to move to southern Maine as soon as this weekend.

Energy tycoon ordered to pay ex-wife nearly $1B OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The chairman and CEO of energy giant Continental Resources Inc. must pay his ex-wife nearly $1 billion as part of a divorce settlement, an Oklahoma judge ruled Monday. Oklahoma County District Judge Howard Haralson's order directs Harold Hamm to pay his ex-wife, Sue Ann Hamm, $995.4 million for "property division alimony." Harold Hamm was directed to pay $322 million to Sue Ann Hamm by the end of the year, with minimum payments of $7 million each month starting in January to pay off the remaining balance.
Telephone messages left Monday with attorneys for each side were not immediately returned. A spokeswoman for the Oklahoma City-based company said the couple's divorce is a private matter that will not have any effect on Continental Resources' business operations. "Out of respect for this private matter that has now been concluded, the company will have no further comment," Continental spokeswoman Kristin Miskovsky said in a statement. The judge's order states that marital assets awarded to Harold Hamm totaled more than $2 billion. The
judge also ordered most of the transcripts and court filings in the divorce case to remain sealed. The couple has been married since 1988. Sue Ann Hamm filed for divorce in 2012. Sue Ann Hamm was awarded the couple's $4.6 million marital home in Nichols Hills, Oklahoma, an $800,000 home in Enid, Oklahoma, and a $17.4 million home in Carmel Valley, California. Harold Hamm was awarded a $750,000 home in Branson, Missouri, along with a log cabin and 154 acres in Major County, Oklahoma, valued at about $300,000.
Senate panel examines Indian museum funding By Sean Murphy OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A massive, unfinished American Indian museum and a prime 210-acre plot of land along the banks of the Oklahoma River could revert back to Oklahoma City if the state abandons the $95 million project, but a city official testified Monday that city leaders don't want that to happen. Wiley Williams, an attorney for the Oklahoma City Economic Development Trust, told members of a Senate budget committee the city donated the property to the state in 2005 with the requirement that it be used solely for the development and operation of the American Indian Cultural Center and Museum. "I think it's fair to say it's frustrating to city management, the mayor and the council that action has not been taken to
fulfill the expectations that a world-class museum and cultural center would be built on land donated by the city for that exclusive purpose," Williams told the committee. The massive 173,000-square-foot structure at the crossroads of Interstates 35 and 40 south of downtown Oklahoma City was designed as a world-class facility that would house exhibits from renowned museums such as the Smithsonian Institution. Although the bulk of the museum's outer shell has been constructed, the project, which has been plagued with mismanagement and cost overruns, has been mothballed for more than two years and needs more than $80 million to be completed. About $40 million in mostly private funding has been pledged to finish the project, but the increasingly conservative House of Representatives has balked at various proposals to pay for the necessary $40 million in matching state funds. Last year, the Senate passed a plan to tap $40 million from the state's Unclaimed Property Fund, but the bill was not granted a hearing on the floor by House Speaker Jeff Hickman, who said he wanted support from at least 51 of the House's 72 Republicans before moving forward. Republican Sen. Patrick Anderson,
who requested Monday's interim study into how the museum could be funded, suggested one option could be to use a portion of General Revenue funds that are derived from tribal compacts on tobacco or gambling The tribes currently pay the state about $31 million annually from tobacco sales and $122 million from tribal gambling fees, according to the Oklahoma Tax Commission. Of that money, about $27 million goes directly into the state's General Revenue Fund, the state's main operating fund. The rest of the tobacco revenue is allocated to various health programs, while the bulk of the gambling revenue goes toward education funding. "We can't avoid the fact that we have this half-built project that remains, and I'm open to looking at different avenues to find a path to completion," said Anderson, R-Enid, who opposes a state bond issue to pay for the project. The $80 million needed to complete the project covers architecture and engineering ($1.2 million); construction ($50 million); exhibit design, fabrication and installation ($23.3 million); furniture , fixtures and equipment ($3 million); and contingency funding ($2.4 million), according to Thomas Wilson, president of ADG, an Oklahoma City-based architecture and engineering firm hired to consult on the project.

Over 100 members of the Cherokee, Drummond, Timberlake and Waynoka FCCLA chapters got together for some fall fun.
Fall Fun with Friends
On Oct. 21, the Waynoka FCCLA chapter attended the fall meeting in Helena with the Timberlake, Cherokee and Drummond FCCLA chapters. We had a great time mingling with members from those chapters and getting to know
them and their friends. We had the chance to show off our moves while playing “Dance Dance Revolution.” After that, we had a cook-out complete with chips and Kool-Aid. And what would a fall meeting be without a delicious caramel
apple bar? Then we played games on the baseball field, (to burn off all the calories from the caramel apples). We always have a good time when we get a chance to bond with our neighboring chapters, and look forward to the next time.
South Barber drama class bringing fairy tale hilarity to stage Friday and Sunday By Yvonne Miller “In a land far, far away” Princess Aislin is lost. To find the princess and laugh while you watch the search, plan to attend the South Barber drama class production of “Princess Who?” by Brian D. Taylor. Performances are this Friday (Nov. 14) at 7 p.m., and again Sunday at 2 p.m. Teacher Meagan (Masters) Henry directs the play. Admission is $5 and students get in free with the donation of a box of Kleenex. Popcorn and drinks are available in the concession stand. The class had so much fun with a fairy tale production last year, they decided to take it a step further. They’ll encounter even more interesting characters in that far away land. After waking up in the Misty Forest with amnesia, Princess Aislin is determined to find out who she is and from what kingdom she has strayed! With a little help from Rapunzel, Goldilocks, Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, a few fairies, and many more, Princess Aislin’s journey is one Mrs. Henry said, “WE definitely won’t forget!” These are members of South Barber High School’s drama class who will present “Princess Who?” Friday at 7 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m. Cast members: (in the tower) Daniel Anderson; (back row) Slater Blick, Kori Leech, Reiley Courson, Caitlin Jacobs, Ammorae Bryan, Haylee Guyle; (middle) Nicole Blick, Shawnee Thell, Alexis Shaffer; (front) Natalie Odell, Anya Anderson, Kylee Wright.
