Lynn Says
Another election is behind us
By Lynn L. Martin The political television commercials presented by Sen. Jim Inhoff in this year’s campaign were simply outstanding. Photographically, they were beautifully lighted with a soft Rembrandt style of lighting; the script was delivered in an easy conversational style, and I thought particularly the adoption commercial was compelling. *** If you haven’t read Helen Barrett’s article in today’s Newsgram about Bob Sterling’s recovery at Share Medical Center, please take time to do so. Let me tell you how that story came about.
I attended an Alva Hospital Authority board meeting one Tuesday evening and was walking out the north door carrying all my news reporting gear and a lady ran up to me with tears streaming down her cheeks. At first I didn’t recognize her. Then she helped me out, saying, “Lynn, this is Syd Sterling.” I apologized for not recognizing her since we’ve had a long history. (Yur Place, Wedding receptions, senior pictures, etc.) Anyway, she said, “I want you to do an article. This hospital saved my dad’s life! He spent a month in a Hutchinson, Kansas, hospital with no progress and they basically sent him home to die. “The care he got here at Share Medical Center totally turned him around and he’s about to be released to go home. The people need to know what an amazing hospital they have here,” she said. Two or three weeks later, after we went through the red tape of getting all the HIPAA privacy forms released, the newspaper did the interview. I shot video, took pictures and Helen did the story. I haven’t done anything with the video footage, but Helen wrote a story that will likely win Oklahoma Press Association awards. It’s in today’s Newsgram.
*** I was saddened to see the notice in today’s Newsgram that Dr. Kirt Bierig is closing down his Alva practice. We can thank Obamacare for that. The amount of “discounts” the government is forcing private practice physicians to swallow is simply killing them off business-wise. I think I read 40,000 private practice physicians may be forced out of business. Here is a quote from Breitbart. com entitled, “Obamacare: Killing off small practice doctors.” “Obamacare doesn’t need to be fixed, it needs to be scrapped,” says Jan Iverson, wife of San Diego private practice physician Dr. Wayne Iverson. Iverson spoke with Breitbart California in a phone interview, in which she relayed many of the destructive policies that have plagued the business of small private medical practices like Iverson’s. “Insurance payments have gone down every year, while costs of business have gone up” said Iverson. Those business costs are not only for supplies but increased costs for personnel needed to keep up with all the new regulations.” This is not the whole article so you might want to look it up.

Alva school board votes on Christmas bonus By Lynn L. Martin Previously, the Alva Board of Education voted fo one-time pay bonuses for certified staff. Monday night, the board approved a bonus schedule for non-certified employees based on years of employment with the district and also whether they work a ninemonth or 12-month contract. A couple of examples: a new employee with 0 – 5 years experience working a ninemonth contract will receive a $250 bonus. If that same employee works a 12-month contract, the bonus will be $500. At the other end of the pay schedule, a 17- to 25-year employee working nine months will receive a $1,000 bonus. If that long-time employee is a 12-month employee, the bonus will be $1,200. The total of all bonuses for qualified employees is $27,150. School Election Scheduled The board passed the resolution calling for an election for Seat 5 on the Alva school board, currently held by Larry Parker. The filing period for candidates will be Dec. 1-3 at the election board office. Potential candidates must have been a resident at least six months, a high school graduate (or equivalent) and free of criminal convictions for the last 15 years. Several Precincts With Low Voter Turnout The election board suggested the board look at closing a few precincts that have very low voter numbers because those who vote tend to vote by absentee ballot anyway. Closing will save the district $300 per precinct. If
closed, the voters in those precincts would receive their ballot by registered mail and would return the ballot by mail. Both Jane McDermott and Tiffany Slater voiced objections to closing precincts and using the mail method because the voter would have to seek out a notary public to validate the right person was executing the ballot. The four precincts are Alfalfa County 020110 with seven possible voters, Alfalfa County 020220 with eight possible voters, Alfalfa County 020310 with nine possible voters and Woods County 760008 with ten possible voters. The Alva board let the agenda item die for lack of a motion. (Interestingly, the Cherokee school board also met Monday night and voted to close Alfalfa County Precinct 02110 and Woods County Precinct 76005.) Special Planning Meeting On Oct. 28, the Alva school board held a special planning meeting to toss around ideas for improving school facilities. No action was permitted on that agenda. Monday night, the board received a list of the items discussed listed in a priority order. Those items on the building or repair list included: • Handicap ramp for Washington entrance. • Tree removal at Longfellow • Replace or repair windows at Longfellow • Items that will happen with other jobs: weight room at AMS and Storage Building for track equipment. Short Term Planning • Football field accessibility and
repair • Electronic lock entrance to all schools • Upgrade cameras at all schools • Telephones for district • New windows/lighting at Alva High School (AHS) • Added wireless access to needed buildings • New lights at AHS gymnasium • After-school curriculum: gifted and talented, tutoring for all students, summer school • Activity bus • Air conditioning for AHS gym • Air conditioning for middle school gym • Sound system for AHS auditorium • Climate control for AHS student lounge • Replace lockers at middle school • Band uniforms • Cover for students at Washington bus stop • Electronic marquee for all schools • Irrigation system for AHS football field • Back to neighborhood schools. Employees Two new employees were hired. Jim Case was hired as a paraprofessional at Lincoln School and Kimberly Clark was hired as a paraprofessional at Longfellow School. Case replaces Lacey Pryor who resigned. The board approved their meeting calendar for the 2015 year. The calendar is similar to the 2014 calendar other than the meeting time has been changed from 5 pm to 5:30 pm. Extracurricular Trips The board approved the Electric Gold Show Choir traveling to New York City April 15-18, 2015; the Alva band traveling to Wichita, Kansas, on Dec. 9 to participate in TubaChristmas; and the FFA livestock judging team traveling to Louisville, Kentucky, Nov. 17-19. Superintendent Parkhurst cautioned the board that the district will have some deficiencies in the accreditation report. Several certified teachers were hired at the start of school who needed to pass some tests in the subjects they were teaching. He said, “We knew we were in that position. They

By Lynn L. Martin A representative of Johnston Seed Company started out the Cherokee School Board meeting by showing slides of various athletic venues that used Riviera Bermudagrass, a Johnston Seed product, for their playing surfaces. This seed variety was developed in Oklahoma and is licensed to Enidbased Johnston Seed, the rep told the board members. The price for the grass seed is $965 per acre, with Johnston doing the sowing. If used for possible Cherokee projects, the cost total $5,522 split between the new football field and a new baseball field. Superintendent Cory Ellis displayed drawings of the proposed 60 x 80 foot agriculture building, which would provide many stalls for student animals. Ellis explained that not so many students live on farms any more, and as a result their show animals would be housed in the barn on school property. Ellis will send the drawings to the construction manager for soliciting bids. He expects to see bids returned in a couple of weeks. The construction manager will be paid a 5.5 percent fee to handle the job. Probably the most unexpected construction item suggestion from Superintendent Ellis was a proposal that many of the five construction projects planned be paid for under a
lease-purchase plan. The original financing proposal called for a series of bonds that would be issued in a domino effect to finance all the projects in a sequential manner. The idea of using the bond money to pay the lease-purchase obligations would amplify the projects that could be done quickly. He illustrated that lights for one of the sports fields would be $165,000 if paid outright. However the initial payment would be only $9,000 per year on lease purchase. The board took home several documents on this topic and said they would consider the idea. The board agreed to close two precincts for the 2015 board election. Those precincts are designated as 02110 in Alfalfa County and 76005 in Woods County. Two seats will be open for filing beginning Dec. 1. Seat 4 is held by appointee Kory Littlefield, and four years remain in the five-year term. Seat 5 is held by Melissa Kimminau and is for five-years. The election will be on Feb. 10, 2015. In reviewing the encumbrance register, Judy Porter highlighted several purchases in anticipation of board questions. One item was a 14-foot table from Booster Digital Displays that will run the new digital basketball score boards. Superintendent Ellis said this equipment has the ability to make video recordings of basketball practices for teaching purposes. Of
course, it can also be used during basketball games. He also mentioned the ability to flash advertising signs on the scoreboard during games. Porter mentioned the purchase of seven new smart boards for $11,500 and 15 new laptops. Ellis said the goal is for every teacher to have a laptop for school use by May 2015. Another expense highlighted was $3,235 to H-N-I Lawncare for three instances of mowing and weed-eating school playing fields and property. Kayla Puffinbarger explained the fund comparisons. The general fund had total cash on Oct. 14 of $2,294,098.59 compared to an Oct. 13, 2013, amount of $699,336.01. That is an cash poisition increase of $1,594,762.58. The building fund increased by $47,612.80 over last year while the sinking fund is down $2,533.60. Overall, the total for all funds a year ago was $1,013,624.83 compared to this year’s figure of $2,972,30.85. Puffinbarger also pointed out a check had been written for $21,008.11 for new band instruments. The agenda also carried an item declaring the following band instruments as unrepairable: one clarinet, one French Horn, one trumpet, two trombones and several drum shells and drum parts. Patricia Green was hired as a new custodian. The board accepted a bid from Alfalfa Electric Cooperative for a Climate Master heat pump for the high school girls locker room. After a rebate, the district will pay $8,238 for the equipment. Principal Hickman said the the bi-weekly visits from the Alpha Plus trainer is paying off, as the teachers are really “buying into” the system. He expects middle school test scores to go way up this spring because of the program. The board approved a State Department of Education document labeled SLO and SOO teacher evaluation policy. Finally, the board approved next year’s school board meeting calendar.

Kevin attended school in Alva, Oklahoma City, Galveston, Texas, and Sayre. He was actively involved in FFA. He recently moved to Medicine Lodge where he lived with his sister, her fiancé, William, and his nieces. He was currently working on the assembly line at National Gypsum. Kevin enjoyed playing basketball, football and soccer. He loved riding his dirt bike and going mudding in his pickup. He especially enjoyed horseback riding with his grandpa, Steve. He adored his sister, Erin and loved spending time with his nieces, Addison and Maddison. He formed a very tight bond and friendship with Les. They were always teasing each other or having wrestling matches. Although Kevin touched many lives, there is one person in particular who probably knew him best, his very best friend, Toby. They were more than friends, they were brothers. On any given day they could be found goofing off together or playing jokes on each other. Kevin was an unforgettable person with a beautiful soul and loving heart. He was always making people smile and laugh. To know him was to love him and to love him was a privilege. He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Steve Tomberlin and Jack William Stone; and his great grandfather, Walden Fleming. Kevin is survived by his mother, Keri Stone and her fiancé, Leslie Heath, of Alva; his father, Chad Tomberlin and wife, Jennifer, of Sayre; his sister, Erin Stone and fiancé, William Hawkins, of Medicine Lodge, Kansas; his grandparents, Kay Tomberlin of Sayre, Pam and Russ Moore of Basehor, Kansas, Marge Heath of Alva, and Joyce Hibbs of Alva; his great grandparents, June Fleming of Medicine Lodge, and Bill and Glenda Tomberlin of Alva, and two nieces, Addison and Maddison Hawkins of Medicine Lodge.

Kiowa Hospital Board hires CEO, considers auction of old hospital, September finances Costly radiology equipment needed; Proposed change to hospital board member election process By Yvonne Miller The day of the Kiowa Hospital District Board meeting last Wednesday, Oct. 29, they reportedly interviewed a candidate for the chief executive officer (CEO) position for nearly three hours in executive session prior to the regular 7 p.m., meeting. Interim CEO Steve Davis said at the meeting the board had two more CEO candidates to interview the next day. That executive session meeting lasted from 7 a.m., until about 1 p.m. When contacted Monday, Davis told the Newsgram he could officially announce the board’s choice for CEO Tuesday morning. The new CEO is Margaret Grismer who begins as CEO Nov. 12. Davis said he will stay a short while as she integrates into the position. Grismer has ties to Kiowa, as her parents are Buddy and Donna Williams who own Custom Rope. She earned her undergraduate degree in 1991 from Bethel College in
St. Paul, Minnesota, graduating with a bachelor of science in nursing. In 2000, she completed her graduate degree from the University of Colorado Health Science Center in Denver, Colorado. She received a master of science in nursing in the adult nurse practitioner program. Grismer has recently retired from active duty military service as a captain (O-6) in July 2014; serving in both the U. S. Navy and the U. S. Public Health Service. She has worked various types of nursing and for the last 12 years has served in leadership/administrative roles as director of nursing and hospital administrator. She is married and has three boys. Grismer’s husband and eighth-grade son will join her during Christmas break. Their two older sons are in college. Board President Zack Odell called the meeting to order with all members present including: Lori Schrock, Chantae Simpson, Brenna May and

Anthony Golf Course offers $1,500 reward for info on cart vandalism By Yvonne Miller A few weeks ago, the Newsgram reported about major vandalism of just over 20 golf carts at the Anthony Golf Course.
The vandalism happened sometime after 8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 18, and early Sunday morning Oct. 19. Anthony businessman and golfer Brick Prickett provided information to the Newsgram for the original story. Someone used bolt cutters to cut padlocks on private sheds that housed golf carts. The culprits took the golf carts into the fairways and crashed them into each other, totaling approximately 15 carts and damaging another six or seven. Since that time, Anthony police continue their investigation, but no arrest was made as of Monday, as confirmed by Anthony Police Department’s Sargent Craig Hadsall.
Anthony Golf Course is offering a $1,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the people who committed this act, Prickett said. Sargent Hadsall said so far their investigation has led to some physical evidence from the scene that could help police determine the identity of the suspect. As the follow-up investigation continues, Hadsall said, “If the public can give us leads it will be much appreciated. I think the reward offered by the golf course will be helpful.” Anyone with information is urged to contact the Anthony Police Department at 620-825-5123.

“Shall we gather at the river, where bright angel feet have trod . . .”
Page 27
Bob Sterling sang hymns aloud as he worked with his physical therapist in the hallways at the Share Medical Center.
‘Shall we gather at the river?’
Not this time By Helen Barrett “Shall we gather at the river . . . left, left, left right left.” Shuffling feet and a creaking walker accompanied the rich baritone voice. “There’s a tavern in the town . . . left, left, left right left.” A stubbed toe elicited a brief expletive, followed quickly by an apology. “I know, keep it G rated,” Hardtner, Kansas, resident Bob Sterling said. The singing and marching occurred daily as the 85-year-old former army commander regained his strength during his nearly 90-days’ stay at Share Medical Center. This summer, Bob’s family took him to a hospital in Hutchinson, Kansas, for continuing treatment of ulcers on his legs for a condition called pyoderma gangrenosum. “The first thing I remember at Hutchinson, the doctor looked at that leg and said it would have to be amputated. It was already getting black above the ankle,” Sterling said. Another doctor tried other treatments in an effort to delay that procedure.
“He was there for three weeks, but he just got worse,” his daughter Syd said. His bones could be seen at the bottom of the ulcers on his legs. Intravenous antibiotics caused so many problems with his digestive tract that he began suffering convulsions. Blood clots formed in his arms and neck. Depression set in. “I just don’t know how to die,” Bob told his daughter. “My body is old and hurts so bad.” Syd spent three days and nights with him at the Hutchinson hospital. The family gathered around his bedside thinking they would be saying their final goodbyes. “I decided I was not just going to sit there and watch him die,” Syd said. The family chose to bring him closer to home where they could visit him more often during his final days. The hospital couldn’t release him to his home. Their protocols required his transfer to another hospital which offered both swing bed and specialized wound care. Four hospitals sat within daily driv-
“I was about dead – knocking on heaven’s door, but the Good Lord said just wait a minute.” – Bob Sterling ing distance – Pratt, Kiowa, Medicine Lodge and Alva. Of the four, Alva was the closest that met both requirements. Syd called Pat Nida to arrange for a swing bed. Dr. Elizabeth Kinzie had the additional training in wound care. Sterling’s two sons drove him from the Kansas hospital to Alva in their pickup. When they arrived at Share, hospital employees hurried to get a wheelchair. Nursing staff were unsure how to move him from the pickup to a room. Every tiny move caused excruciating pain. “We were concerned,” Nida said. “We were going to take him (but) we were worried.” “It took all four of us to get him out
November 5, 2014 of the pickup and into the wheelchair,” Joni Welch, LPN said. “He was very swollen, very debilitated.” “He couldn’t use his arms or his legs,” Nida said. “He was basically bed bound and didn’t want to eat.” Mika Cahoj, R.N. said when she first saw Sterling, she didn’t think he would make it through the next couple of days. His condition was grave. “I really thought he was on his way out,” Cahoj said. Wiping tears from his eyes, Sterling said he has no memory of the day of his arrival in Alva. “I was about dead – knocking on heaven’s door, but the Good Lord said just wait a minute,” Bob said. “I think Dr. Kinzie thought she’d made a mistake taking my case.” Indeed he was critically ill. “We had trouble putting in a line in for antibiotics,” Dr. Kinzie said. “He got blood clots. He was in horrible pain and swollen.” “When I walked in the room, the poor guy was sitting there all swollen and said, ‘what are you going to do to fix me?’” she said. Dr. Kinzie knew ‘fixing him’ was impossible. Utilizing her specialized wound care training, Dr. Kinzie began tackling one problem at a time. “We had some really bad days – screaming bad days,” the doctor said. “It was hard to keep his enthusiasm up.

Dr. Elizabeth Kinzie chats with her “model patient” Bob Sterling. Photo by Lynn L. Martin Even on his worst days, he kept a great attitude knowing we were trying to help him.” “Dr. Kinzie tried a whole new treatment on his legs that nobody had tried,” Syd said. “We’d get one sore cleared and another one would break out. When we got to Alva we only had two sores, now we have three.” Dr. Kinzie said Bob’s condition is chronic caused by improper blood flow in his legs. “We’re hoping to heal them up, but he’ll probably get some again,” she said. “Now we know how to fix them.” Because of the intensive antibiotic and pain medications, Bob couldn’t keep food on his stomach and lost 50 pounds. Once an IV was inserted, Bob received morphine every four hours for the first week. Nutrition was critical to his recovery, but he had no appetite. “I force fed him ice cream,” Amber Jewell, R.N. said of the high protein frozen mixture nurses called magic. With each bite, Sterling would protest – “I hate ice cream!” Between words with his visiting grandson, Jewell kept slipping bites of ‘magic’ in his mouth. Soon his strength and appetite returned. “Now he eats like a champ,” Jewell said. “He even eats sardines.” Any food Sterling thought sounded appealing, the staff fixed for him. He loved cheese, so Jewell wrote
“We had some really bad days – screaming bad days.” – Dr. Elizabeth Kinzie “Bob” on his crackers with cheese to entice him to eat. Progress After a couple of weeks, Sterling’s condition showed real progress. Dr. Kinzie walked into his room one day and discovered the swelling was all gone. She touched his leg and he didn’t scream. “That’s pretty cool,” she said. “We got that leg healing.” After two weeks of progress, things turned sour. He wouldn’t participate in his physical therapy. After running tests, Dr. Kinzie discovered he had a bad urinary infection which caused sepsis. They immediately began treating the infection and within 36 hours, he was back to himself again. “We just didn’t think Bob was going to make it,” Registered Nurse Regina Wilson said. “But he tried from day one. He would give 110 percent because he wanted to get better.” Physical Therapist Rachel Crane worked with him daily. In the beginning, he couldn’t lift either arm past his waist. Crane kept push-

ing his limits. “Every day he would tell me no he couldn’t do it. He’d say he couldn’t go any farther,” Crane said. Despite calling his therapist a few choice names for which he later apologized, Sterling kept trying. Before long he could raise his hands over his head, get up and down by himself and even walk stairs. Favorite Patient By now, Sterling established himself as the favorite patient at the hospital. His impromptu concerts occurred at any time with the least bit of encouragement. No area of the hospital was off limits. “He’s the best entertainment we’ve ever had,” receptionist Penny Priwest said. The stronger he got, the more he sang – down the halls, through the ER, in the lobby and back to his room. “They keep telling me to keep it G-rated,” Bob said while smiling at the nurses walking beside him. The nurses had their favorite tunes they requested Bob to sing. “Hallelujah, Thine the Glory” was a favorite. “Occasionally, he let us sing with him,” Wilson said. “It’s been a blessing taking care of Bob,” Wilson said. “He’s been the model patient. He’d do everything we asked him to do. “He’s been a blessing to people he didn’t even know,” Wilson said. The staff attributed much of his recovery to the strong family support system Bob enjoyed. Family members made a schedule to insure at least one person called him every day during his stay. “That just magnified how well he was going to do because he had so much support from the family,” Wilson said. “We’re just really going to miss him and that spirit he has.” Syd believes family and faith, coupled with the excellent medical care combined to speed his recovery. “We try to make a difference in people’s lives, but he’s made a difference in ours,” Cahoj said. His stay at the hospital not only received special recognition from family and Share staff. He received a birthday card and a get well letter from President George W. Bush. Bob has an inside connection with the former president and first lady. His

Martin granddaughter served as their Director of External Affairs at the White House for four years. Now she works for Bush at his offices in Texas. High Praise for Staff Sterling has high praises for the doctors and nurses at Share. “In one word, (they’re) excellent,” he said. “I’ve had super care; great gals personality wise. I love them. They are just super people.” Sterling said anything he asked of the nurses, they quickly and graciously responded. “Dr. Kinzie is a jewel,” he said. “She’s all business. These girls are a lot of fun. Dr. Kinzie’s a lot of fun, too, but not in the same way.” Unable to contain his enthusiasm, Bob started singing, “The other night dear as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms, when I woke dear, I was mistaken, so I hung my head and cried. You are my sunshine my only sunshine. You’ll never know dear how much I loved you. Please don’t take my sunshine away.” Bob had good reason to sing. He
Page 29
was going home. When that day actually arrived, Bob seemed a little reluctant to leave his newfound friends, Syd said. She felt he was afraid he couldn’t take care of himself on his own. The family reassured him, saying they would try it for a few days, and if he couldn’t handle it, they’d bring him back to either The Homestead or Share Convalescent Home. “He’s able to get up and walk, eat by himself, gets dressed by himself. He’s completely changed,” Syd said. “He thinks he can drive his pickup by himself, but we won’t let him do that yet.” Next week Bob will be seeing a physician in Enid about skin grafts on his legs. “They saved my Daddy’s life,” Syd said of the staff at SMC. “Not only did his legs get better, he got a little of his self-pride and confidence back.” Death knocked on his door, but Bob Sterling wasn’t ready to go. The gathering at the river was postponed indefinitely.

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)

With contractual adjustments of $49,315, net patient revenue was $368,798. With the three pay periods, total operating expenses were $419,985. This made a loss from operations of $51,187. The addition of $85,221 (mainly tax revenue) made the hospital in the black by $34,034 for September. Year to date, the hospital shows a loss of $149,246. Hospital DON Courson reported everything is going well. Receiving their reports back from a review of the facility, Courson was proud to tell the review said “we have an exceptional staff here.” Manor Update Manor Administrator Balding said they had 23 residents last Wednesday. DON Renner said they’ve reduced the more costly agency nursing. Renner

will soon complete their tests and we will have handled the deficiencies.” Parkhurst expressed to the board his disappointment in the high school drop-out report. He said it shows 15 students dropped out last year. Of those 15, four were suspended from school for disciplinary reasons. Another four re-entered. One chose home-schooling. Others left the Alva school system claiming plans to transfer to another district but never did enroll, so are included in the 4.33 percent drop out figure. Finances Parkhurst reported that general fund encumbrances are $7,937,270.59 for fiscal year (FY) 2015, which is up from the same time last year by $575,608.02 (mainly pay raises). The general fund revenue comparison shows the district is up $2 million just four months into the fiscal year compared to last year. Gross production revenues for FY2014 at this time were $789,142.50 and in FY2015 $1,402,843.87, up a total of $613,701.37.
said that’s due to her and Registered Nurse Jacy Graves working “lots of nights to save agency expense.” Renner said the manor really needs another night nurse. Discussing the holidays, some suggested it might be good to have residents included on the Angel Tree. September financials Goodno presented showed $109,685 of total operating revenue. Due to three pay periods total operating expenses were $151,033, making a loss from operations of $41,349.The addition of $5,055 (mainly tax revenue) curbed the loss to $36,294. The manor has lost $329,234 YTD. That figure, added to the hospital’s YTD loss, shows an overall loss of $478,481 so far for 2014 . More Hospital Board Business Radiology Director Dooli Rugg explained to the board last month that some vital radiology equipment is not working as it should after the move to the new facility. Rugg was absent from this meeting, but Goodno presented some of the costly options of upgrading to digital. The board requested that Rugg present a contingency plan at the November meeting. Davis presented three bids for antivirus software. Board approved the purchase of a three-year subsciption of ESET for a cost not to exceed $5,871.99. The board again discussed having auctioneer Sam Spicer auction off the old hospital building on Drumm St. Advertising will take at least six weeks. Board members want to see how far Spicer’s advertising reaches.
They might want to consider listing the old hospital on Craigslist. They’ll most likely sell the building as is, including the contents. Before taking action, the board agreed to check with their attorney. All agreed “we want to make sure it’s done right.” Board member Schrock suggests the board considering changing their election process. She favors a formal election process, like city council and school board have with people going to the polls to vote. Schrock said, “The current system demeans the dignity of our institution.” Board member May said, “I think it’s a good idea.” Schrock said further, “We have to make an informed decision. An election would add legitimacy to what we’re trying to do.” The board agreed to form a committee to research all the legal aspects and cost of an election. In other action, Davis presented a revised version of the Signature Approval Levels document. The revision adds Melissa Stroh, Kim Balding and Donna Renner. Dr. Paul Wardlaw was appointed to the Med Staff with privileges in Family Medicine. The regular November meeting will be the 20th at 7p.m. at the KDH clinic lobby. The December meeting will be the 22nd at the same time and place. After a one-and-a-half hour executive session to discuss Risk Management Quality Assurance (RM/ QA); non-elected personnel and contract/legal; the board approved the RM/QA report before adjournment.
