Angry man crashes pickup into Alva hotel lobby
By Lynn L. Martin A Texas man is being held without bail after he was accused of deliberately crashing his pickup truck through the lobby of the Comfort Inn in Alva around 4 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 10. John Parsley, 62, of Gonzales, Texas, faces two felony counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and one count of malicious John Parsley injury to property over $1,000. Hotel owner Kingson Christian told the Alva ReviewCourier/Newsgram on Sunday that he estimated damage to the Comfort Inn building to be $100,000. According to court records, Parsley was angry because the hotel could not immediately refund credit card charges. An See Hotel Page 54

Don’t fall for these scams
By Lynn L. Martin I received a nice letter a couple weeks ago from a Medicine Lodge, Kansas, reader who had properly responded to a red flashing alert message she had picked up from an Internet site wanting her to call an 800 number in order to save her hard drive from being erased. About once per week I get such a threatening message and have always defeated it by NOT touching any button on the screen including the X button in the upper right corner. Remember, the crooks can re-assign these buttons to do something you don’t intend. My advice is to immediately power off the computer. I realize there is danger to unsaved work with this advice compared to a normal orderly shut-down. However, I would rather re-do a document than yield to blackmail of somebody wanting a big sum of money not to disable my hard drive. Vicky at the photo studio received another type of scam today (Tuesday). It was an email message saying her “America Airlines” holiday travel ticket has been confirmed and she needs to print out the ticket confirmation. (Note the spelling: America Airlines, not American Airlines.) What’s interesting about this one is a large percentage of USA citizens may travel over the Christmas or New Year’s holidays. Many may travel by air. (Not Vicky. She hates airline travel.) So the scammers

are gambling that their email message will reach someone who is eager to confirm a ticket reservation and they’ll click to open it and unleash all sorts of malware on their computer. The likely result will be a virus introduced with an offer to remove it for a fee or identify theft where your bank account or credit card account becomes vulnerable. There’s another scam I mentioned before but is occurring more often. Since many people are ordering Christmas gifts online or by mail-order, there are a lot of packages expected from UPS or FedEx. The scam email will say something like, “FedEX attempted to deliver a package to you and no one was home to receive it. Please click this link to make arrangements for delivery.” That sounds very logical except I know that I have never given my email address to UPS or FedEx. I was somewhat puzzled and leery, but fell for this the first time. But when I saw they wanted me to download
a zip file, I knew that was not necessary to communicate with me about a package delivery. Finally, I’ve not mentioned this before. DO NOT permit someone you don’t know have access to your local computer. The typical email says, “This is a your computer manufacturer and we have discovered a problem (or virus) on your computer. Please click on this remote service and we will take care of the problem for you at no charge.” Since no money is asked, many people think their computer manufacturer is simply taking good care of them. No, they are wanting your social security number or bank/credit card credentials to harvest their haul. Getting access to your hard drive may reveal credit card or bank payment details, or perhaps online tax filings that will give them the information they want. Attached is a Better Business Bureau chart of the top scams this week.

South Barber Elementary Principal Cantrell submits resignation/retirement South Barber School Board holds December meeting; Mini-Cheer Clinic Performance Friday, Dec. 18, at Chieftains ballgames – Monty Thompson Foundation has concession stand to support teachers and classroom projects By Yvonne Miller After 39 years in education, longtime PreK-6 Principal Marcia Cantrell submitted her resignation/retirement at the South Barber Board of Education December meeting Monday night. Following an executive session at the end of the meeting, the board regretfully accepted Cantrell’s resignation, which will be effective at the end of the 2015-16 school year. The board thanked Cantrell for her 39 years of service. She’s been at the elementary school in Kiowa her entire career. She taught some Title I and a few other classes, but was best known as a beloved third grade teacher for years until becoming principal about 15 years ago. After the meeting Principal Cantrell told the Newsgram, “I always had a passion for teaching. I love what I do. I wanted to retire still loving what I do.” The board of education meeting was held at 5 p.m. instead of 6 p.m. so that people could attend the SB 7-12 Christmas Music Program. Board President Steve Allen called the meeting to order with members present: Mariah Doherty, Deb Helfrich, Dooli Rugg, Melissa Simpson and Mark Pollock. Member Mike Anderson arrived about 6 p.m. Superintendent Dr. Andi Williams sat at the board table as did
ANDI WILLIAMS
board clerk Julie Johnson. Upon arriving at the meeting at the USD255 Central Office on Main Street in Kiowa, one could see buckets strategically placed to catch water leaking inside from the roof that is in disrepair. Superintendent Williams presented four bids from: Coontz of Lahoma; A-B Commercial of Pratt; Ron Landwehr of Sharon; and P1 Group of Wichita. The bids varied depending on numerous factors for repair or replacement of the central office roof. The board approved going with the P1 Group of Wichita who did the major improvement project at the elementary school. P1 will start the bid process on a differently styled roof with a pitch/slope. P1 estimates such a project will cost under $40,000, including the 15 percent percent management fee. In her superintendent’s report, Williams also reported that a food service contract feasibility study is initiated. She said it will take three months for a complete analysis report and there is no cost. She mentioned a food service used by many school districts in neighboring states that Williams said could bring “significant savings” to USD255. An agreement for the weight room at the high school and the recreation commission
was discussed as its being generated. Pollock expressed concern that there is not one specific person in charge of the weight room. The item was tabled. Speaking of teacher/board negotiations training options, Williams said she and Pollock are representatives for the board. Regarding enrollment, the superintendent said the KSDE Audit Summary shows the fiscal year (FY) 2016 headcount is 238 compared to FY2 015 headcount at 239. The superintendent mentioned the recent federal legislation that replaced education law “No Child Left Behind.” President Obama signed the “Every Student Succeeds Act” last Thursday. Both the senate and house of representatives passed this legislation by large margins and it had bi-partisan support. The new legislation kept a federal requirement that students in grades three through eight and once in high school be tested in reading and math. But it gives states more flexibility over the testing and how its results are addressed. Additionally, it encourages states to limit the amount of time kids spend taking standardized assessments. More South Barber School Board Business Current bills totaling $305,013.90 were approved. The board approved a variety of Kansas Association of School Boards policy updates. Williams also provided board members with five KASB policy update first reads. District administration and building leadership teams will meet to discuss, refine and organize identified strategies. Principal’s Report on Student Achievements and Events Principal Cantrell said six students at the pre-K through sixth grade were selected for the All-State Elementary Choir. They are: Addyson Bryan, Jayten Davis, Autumn

do so. This stems from an unannounced bi-annual inspection back on the Nov. 18, a day when the superintendent and the principal were attending a conference in Oklahoma City. He reminded the board that last year the district received an additional $16,000 state aid due to the miscalculation of the assessment ratio over 23 years’ time. Freedom is a district that is part of a “class” that falls under a statute that says the county assessment ratio is higher than the state ratio of 11 percent for commercial and agriculture property used to determine chargeable valuations. From 1993, Freedom has been assessed a higher than allowed chargeable assessment by the SDE and receiving a lower amount of state aid than required, therefore making Freedom Public Schools a member of the class McCuiston talked about. He said he is currently in conversation with other member districts, Woods County Assessor’s Office, and also the school district’s attorney to review the district’s options to recover 23 years of lost state aid. McCuiston sent out his thanks to the people who worked on applying sealant to the top of the gym to slow down the leaks ahead with the upcoming rain and snow last weekend, and said that it was a dry day inside so far on Monday. He said he hopes it is able to hold out a little longer, but worried about another reported “holding pond.”
Shane Morris had recommendations for checking a drain on the roof after seeing about 6 inches of standing water up there. He suggested a water hose be used to run through the drain to see if it was free. He said if it was free and not leaking, it could get rid of a ton of water by itself. Principal’s Report Principal Brett Hill said Thursday is the Christmas programs. They will be held at 1:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. The Santa’s Workshop was put up by Mr. B. Weber with the help of his students, Luke Bolar and Will Jessup. The Angel Tree program’s tree is bare – all angels were taken off and gifts bought. He said he and his wife Stevy extend thanks to everyone who has supported the program and bought for the community’s children. A “Cupcake War” competition took place between Mrs. Selfridge’s classes. The staff judged and the winners were Iridian Herrera, Christian Herrera, Tiffany Weber and Samantha Greer. Mrs. Selfridge took four students to the FCCLA STAR events in Woodward. Iridian Herrera and Vanessa Galindo won first place in Creed Speaking. Summer Ralston took second in New Member Facts and Tiffany Weber won second in Senior Cake Decorating. Hill reminded all present that students put out a newsletter at the school each month. The Alva Review-Courier then prints the students’ stories and pictures for newspaper publication. The stories will also appear in The Freedom Call. He encouraged everyone to be on the lookout. He said Mr. Weber took a group of his FFA students to the MFE/ALD Conference in Oklahoma City. The conference is a large leadership development conference that is attended by many kids statewide. Freedom has had several students attend in the past, and Hill said he believes it has served them all well. Board Action There was some disagreement about the number of ag trailers with the board eventually approving the purchase of a new one. The gym roof and long range planning were also discussed. See more about the Freedom School Board meeting in The Freedom Call Thursday.
Freedom School wants to recover 23 years of lost state aid Superintendent rehired By Stacy Sanborn The first regular school board meeting after the failed bond issue proposal in Freedom was held Monday evening. All members were present, along with the superintendent, principal and four visitors. The board then went into executive session near the end of the meeting to discuss Superintendent Danny McCuiston’s evaluation. It was voted McCuiston serve as superintendent for the 2016-2017 school term. The consent agenda was the first item up and was approved by all, with Board Member Shane Morris abstaining on purchase order 37 to Supreme Trailer Sales. Superintendent’s Report McCuiston reported December gross production collections were $12,759.94, about half that of fiscal year (FY) 2014 and FY2015. District totals for revenue collections for the month were $28,954.72 – significantly less than last year’s totals as well. Last fiscal year local revenue totaled $586,000 minus ad valorem and this fiscal year’s projection is currently running $435,580, and that amount is dropping monthly, McCuiston said. He said he is waiting on clarifications from the fire marshal on a specific area of the school that needs to reach compliance and will then take action to complete whatever appropriate actions necessary to

Six-way race develops in Alfalfa County Two file for Freedom School Board position By Marione Martin Six people have filed for the Alfalfa County commissioner position. Woods County will have one race in the Feb. 9 school election. Four Republicans and two Democrats have filed for the special election declared by Gov. Mary Fallin to fill the District 1 Alfalfa County Commission seat. Republicans filing are
Jay Rodgers Hague, Brett Ackerman, Martin Bond and Justin Packard. Filing as Democrats are Lance Miller and Darrol Schroeder. A primary election will be held March 1 for the Alfalfa County commissioner candidates. A 50 percent majority is not required in this special election so there will be no runoff. The Republican with the highest number of votes and the Democrat with the most votes will face each other in the general election on April 5. One person filed for each of the school board positions in Alfalfa County
so there will be no school election. Those filing were Terry Graham for Burlington, Jeff White for Cherokee and Patsy Judd for Timberlake. Joe Jessup, the incumbent, and Shaan Wilson filed for Office 1 on the Freedom Board of Education. The election will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 9. Other incumbents who filed in Woods County were unopposed and will not need to appear on the ballot.

Veteran Bud Liggenstoffer revisits the reconnaissance plane he flew in Vietnam YO-3A plane was a pioneer in the U.S. Army stealth aircraft (night vision) program By Yvonne Miller With a military career spanning from 1965 to 1993, former U.S. Army Master Aviator Buddy Liggenstoffer was part of a pioneer night vision stealth program while flying a YO-3A plane during his second

tour in Vietnam in 1971. A Hardtner, Kansas, native, Liggenstoffer recently revisited the reconnaissance aircraft he flew in Vietnam. This was during the Quiet Aircraft Association’s Annual Reunion and Business Meeting in Concord, California. The YO-3A is a low altitude SILENT STEALTH night reconnaissance airplane that was developed for the U.S. Army for use in the Vietnam War from 1970 to ‘71. The YO-3A mission was to locate and direct destruction on enemy night operations. The YO-3A was not armed. Its The YO-3A is a low altitude SILENT STEALTH night reconnaissance airplane that was developed for the U.S. Army for use in the Vietnam War from 1970 to ‘71. The YO-3A mission was to locate and direct destruction on enemy night operations. The YO-3A was not armed. Its only protection was its silence.
This is a view of the YO-3A reconnaissance plane in flight used in Vietnam that was a pioneer testing program that led to the U.S. Military's sophisticated Stealth Aircraft current program. Notice the camouflage paint on top so the surveillance plane would blend into the terrain in case the enemy flew above the low-altitude plane. The bottom side was painted to blend into the sky if viewed from the ground.
only protection was its silence. The plane was developed to “Take the night away from the enemy.” The aircraft, with a 57-foot wingspan, was built to fly undetected at night with a crew of two utilizing a night vision aerial periscope with infrared searchlight to locate the enemy. When asked about the danger of the two-man crew flying the YO-3A over enemy territory at night, Liggenstoffer said, “The enemy didn’t have radar like we have now. We could see them, but they couldn’t see us. We found the targets and called someone in to shoot it. The bottom of the aircraft was painted so it blended into the sky and the top was painted to blend into terrain. We never took a round.” Liggenstoffer said he flew in the last three months of this pioneer night vision program as they tested numerous technologies, such as laser, and made adjustments. Two of the planes had Laser Target Designators installed in the viewing devices. This was the first time laser target designators were installed in an aircraft. A Chief Warrant Officer 4, Liggenstoffer was part of an Army Combat Evaluation Team for the Lockheed Missiles and Space Company-built YO3A “Stealth” aircraft. “During that time I was flying out of Long Than northeast of Saigon about 20-30 miles. The main base was at Long Than,” he said. Lockheed built 11 YO-3As for the army of which nine were deployed to Vietnam. No YO-3A was ever shot down by hostile fire or took a round during 14 months of operation in Vietnam in 197071. However, three of the nine planes were destroyed in Vietnam due to accidents. Following the war, NASA acquired one YO-3A and converted it to a flying microphone, performing noise testing. That NASA YO-3A is still flying today. Two of the planes went to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and were used to catch shrimp poachers. Later the FBI used them for several years as surveillance aircraft.

Voters should apply early for absentee ballots Voters in Alfalfa County who want to have absentee ballots mailed to them for the Jan. 12, 2016, special election for the Town of Jet should apply now, County Election Board Secretary Kelly Stein said today. Although the county election board can accept applications for absentee ballots until 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2016, Stein urged voters who want to vote by absentee ballot to apply early. Absentee ballot application forms are available at the county election board office located at 602 W. 5th St., Ste 3, Cherokee. The absentee ballot application forms also can be downloaded and printed at www.elections.ok.gov. Voters who have requested an absentee
ballot can track their ballot at http:// www.ok.gov/elections/Voter_Info/ Online_Voter_Tool/. “At least two mail transactions must be made,” Stein said. “The county election board must mail the ballots to the voter and the voter must return the voted ballots by mail.” Ballots must be in the hands of the county election board by 7 p.m. on election day in order to be counted. Stein said that any registered voter may vote by absentee ballot in any election in which he/she is eligible to vote. However, a voter must be registered and reside at an address within the geographical boundaries of a school district or a municipality to be eligible to vote in school district or municipal elections. It is not necessary to give a reason – or excuse – for voting absentee. “While anyone can vote absentee without giving a reason, the law still provides several excuses, and it is to the advantage of some voters to use one of them,” Stein said. By stating one of the following reasons on their applications, these voters can activate some special conditions that make it easier for them to use absentee ballots. The reasons are: • Voters who are physically
incapacitated and voters who care for physically incapacitated persons who cannot be left unattended may vote absentee. They may apply only by mail, by fax, or by email. • Voters who are confined to nursing homes in the county may vote absentee. An absentee voting board actually goes to the nursing home a few days before the election, sets up a small polling place and allows these individuals to vote under circumstances similar to those at a regular precinct polling place. They may apply only by mail, by fax or by email. • Military personnel and residents of the county living overseas and the spouses and dependents of each group are eligible receive absentee ballots. These voters may apply only by mail, fax or by email. Military personnel should contact the voting service officers in their units for application forms and additional information or visit the Federal Voting Assistance Program website (www.fvap. gov/oklahoma) for more information and instructions. Residents of Oklahoma living overseas can obtain the same materials from any United States military installation and from United States embassies and consulates as well as on the FVAP website.

By Christopher Weber and Tami Abdollah LOS ANGELES (AP) — The nation's two biggest school systems — New York City and Los Angeles — received threats of a large-scale attack Tuesday with guns and bombs, and LA reacted by shutting down the entire district, while New York dismissed the warning as an amateurish hoax and held class as usual. The shutdown was a rare example of big city closing its entire school district because of fears of an attack. The decision also reflected lingering unease in the aftermath of the shooting that killed 14 people at an office holiday party less than two weeks ago in nearby San Bernardino. In LA, the threat came in the form of an email to a school board member. Authorities in New York reported receiving the same "generic" email that was sent to other cities around the country. They decided there was no danger to schoolchildren, with Mayor Bill de Blasio concluding the threat contained "nothing credible." "It was so outlandish," he said. New York Police Commissioner William Bratton agreed, quipping that it looked like the sender of the threat had watched a lot of the Showtime terrorism drama "Homeland." The shutdown abruptly closed more than 900 public schools and 187 charter schools attended by 640,000 students across Los Angeles. LA officials defended the move. "It is very easy in hindsight to criticize a decision based on results the decider could never have known," LA Police Chief Charlie Beck said at a news conference. The threatening email sent to the New York City school superintendent warned that schools would be attacked with pressure cooker bombs, nerve agents and machine guns. It claimed the writer and "138 comrades" would carry out the attack. Students "at every school in the New York City school district will be massacred, mercilessly. And there is nothing you can do to stop it," the message said. The anonymous writer claimed to be a student at a district high school who
had been bullied. A law enforcement official with access to the document provided the email to The Associated Press. The official was not authorized to disclose details of an ongoing investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity. The person who wrote the note also claimed to be a jihadist but made errors that suggested the writer was really a prankster, including spelling the word "Allah" with a lowercase "a." The threats came in simultaneously to New York and LA school officials at about 1:20 a.m. EST Tuesday, or about 10:20 p.m. Monday in Los Angeles. According to LA school police, the FBI and LA police were contacted late Monday, which would mean within 90 minutes or so of the threat arriving. The decision to close Los Angeles schools was announced at 6:25 a.m. PST, well after NYC had already concluded the threat was a hoax and decided to keep schools open. Los Angeles Superintendent Ramon Cortines said every campus would be searched before schools reopened. Bratton called the closure in Los Angeles a "significant overreaction." "We cannot allow ourselves to raise levels of fear," said Bratton, who once ran the LA Police Department. Hours later, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee also said the threat was believed to be a hoax. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said he would not second-guess the decisions made in Los Angeles or New York. The decision to close the district disrupted the morning routines of many Los Angeles families. Lupita Vela, who has a daughter in the third grade and a son who is a high school senior, called the threat "absolutely terrifying" in light of the San Bernardino attack. "I know the kids are anxious," she said. Beck said the email was specific to all the campuses in the district. The LA schools commonly get threats, but Cortines called this one rare and said the San Bernardino attack influenced his decision to close the entire district.
The threat "was not to one school, two schools or three schools," he said at a news conference. "It was many schools, not specifically identified. ... That's the reason I took the action that I did." The superintendent said the district police chief informed him about the threat shortly after 5 a.m. The person who sent the threat used an "anonymizer," which uses a proxy server to mask the origin of Internet traffic, and the email was routed through a German IP address on its way to the school board member's email box, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation. The official, who was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation, spoke on condition of anonymity. Vela said she worries about talking to her kids about the threat and terrorism in general. She's concerned about her daughter feeling safe in class. "I don't want this to be in the back of her head," she said. "Who knows what it does psychologically to kids? Is this going to cause her some kind of trauma so that she's not going to feel safe at school?" The closure came the same day classes were canceled at San Bernardino Valley College because of a bomb threat.

By George Jahn VIENNA (AP) — The U.N. nuclear agency closed the books Tuesday on its decade-long probe of allegations that Iran worked on atomic arms, and Tehran proclaimed that within weeks, it would finish cutbacks on present nuclear programs that the U.S. fears could be turned into making such weapons. The probe had to be formally ended as part of a July 14 deal between Iran and six nations that involves the removal of economic sanctions on Tehran in exchange for its commitment to crimp its nuclear program. A resolution was approved by consensus of the 35-nation board of the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency. The move means that some questions about the alleged weapons work may never be resolved. Before the resolution's adoption, agency head Yukiya Amano told the board that his investigation couldn't "reconstruct all the details of activities conducted by Iran in the past." At the same time, he repeated an assessment he made last month that Iran worked on "a range of activities relevant" to making nuclear weapons, with coordinated efforts up to 2003 tapering off into scattered activities up to 2009. Chief Iranian delegate Reza Najafi denied such work, in keeping with his country's constant line during the protracted probe. In his statement to the board, and then to reporters outside the meeting, he said Tehran's nuclear activities "have always been for
peaceful civilian or conventional military uses." Noting that formal closure of the issue negates a series of critical IAEA resolutions against his country, he proclaimed Tuesday a "historic day" that opens the path to closer cooperation both with the agency and its member nations. Amano hailed the "very important milestone." At the same time, he noted that — with his agency charged with monitoring Iran's commitments under a deal that extends for more than a decade — "much work needs to be done in the future. "We cannot relax," he said. "We cannot be complacent." Despite Iranian denials, the U.S. and its allies continue to believe that Tehran did work on components of a nuclear weapon. But their overriding interest is moving ahead to implement the July 14 deal. Najafi, the Iranian delegate, said that — with the probe put to rest — Iran could meet its obligations under that agreement within "two or three weeks." But it was unclear whether that time frame would include not only Iran's declaration that it has met its commitment, but also IAEA verification that it has cut back or re-engineered equipment and programs that could be used to make nuclear weapons Amano said his agency would need "some weeks" to sign off on its certification. The deal also calls on Iran to ship to Russia most of its store of enriched
uranium that is now at the level used to fuel reactors but could be further processed into the fissile core of nuclear warheads. Najafi said that transfer would be completed "within two or three days." Once the agency confirms that Iran has met its part of the deal, most individual and international sanctions imposed on Iran over its nuclear program will be lifted. Western statements reflected the will to move on. The U.S. participated in drawing up the resolution ending the investigation along with the other nations that negotiated the deal with Iran — Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said the resolution allows the IAEA to "turn its focus now on the full implementation and verification" of Iran's commitments to the July 14 agreement. Refraining from previous critical language, the European Union said only "we note" the agency conclusion. At the same time, U.S. chief IAEA delegate Henry S. Ensher said the U.N. agency's assessment wasn't surprising, considering "Iran's long history of concealment, denial and deception." Ensher also suggested the agency could again be called upon to investigate Iran, noting that the closure of the probe doesn't prevent the agency from following up on "any new concerns regarding weaponization." Criticism came from Republican congressional opponents and Israel, both opposed to the July 14 deal that they say keeps Iran's weapons-making capacity intact. Ed Royce, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, called the IAEA decision a "capitulation." Israeli Foreign Ministry Spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon accused Iran of being "non-cooperative and deceptive," while Israel's IAEA delegate, while Merav Zafary-Odiz, decried the "erroneous resolution" ending the probe. "Nothing has changed," she declared. "All the indicators for the existence of a clandestine nuclear weapons development program in Iran ... are still valid."

Woman charged in death of widower she met on Craigslist CORDELL, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma prosecutors have charged a woman in the shooting death of a widower who let her move in after they met through Craigslist following the death of his wife of nearly 40 years. The Oklahoman (http://bit.ly/1I6GafV ) reports that 44-year-old Kathryn Hicks has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the death of 59-year-old Michael Beach, who was found dead Nov. 30 in his Cordell home. Hicks' attorney, Mike Housley, declined to comment Tuesday. But a state investigator wrote in an affidavit that Hicks denied killing Beach. Beach was lonely after his wife's
death and met Hicks in June. Authorities say she moved in and he added her to his will, but that he kicked her out in early November after telling friends he thought she was trying to kill him. OSBI Special Agent Dannie Sanders wrote in the affidavit that Beach told a friend that Hicks had given him a milkshake Nov.2 that tasted gritty. Authorities say Beach went to the hospital that day for taking too much medication and that he blamed Hicks. According to the affidavit, Hicks claimed that she left the home after the two had a disagreement because she had not told Beach about her children or criminal history.
She told investigators that Beach later asked her to return. The affidavit says Hicks claimed that she went to the home Nov. 29 and found him dead in an empty home. OSBI Special Agent Dannie Sanders wrote in the affidavit that Hicks then claimed that two men had been in the house when she arrived that day, and they assaulted her and left the house before she found Beach's body. Investigators say that Beach's friends helped him remove Hicks from his will, bank account and retirement plants after she moved out of his home, but she was not aware of that.
Professor finds rare audio of basketball inventor Naismith LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — A University of Kansas researcher has discovered what is believed to be the only audio recording of basketball inventor James Naismith, during which he describes the first game he organized 124 years ago this month as a bit of a disaster. Michael J. Zogry, an associate professor of religious studies, obtained the nearly 3-minute audio in November from the Library of Congress. It was part of a radio show from New York station WOR-AM called "We the People." During the Jan. 31, 1939, program, Naismith explained how he set up the game with two peach baskets at the International YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, in December 1891. Naismith said he had been given two weeks to devise a new indoor activity for his gym class. The work was hurried along by what he described as a "real New England blizzard" that had the youngsters climbing the walls with little to do. "We tried everything to keep them quiet," Naismith said on the recording, but the students were bored with a "modified" form of football tried in the gym. Naismith figured it was time to try his new idea using an "old soccer ball" and two teams of nine players each.
"I told them the idea was to throw the ball into the opposing team's peach basket," he said. "I blew a whistle and the first game of basketball began." It didn't go smoothly. Naismith said the players almost immediately started tackling each other — and worse. Two young men suffered black eyes while another was knocked out, and he had to pull players apart, he said. "I didn't have enough (rules), and that's where I made my big mistake," Naismith said. Naismith's description of that first game helps shed light on the process that led him to draft the 13 original rules of the game, Zogry told The Associated Press on Tuesday. It appears that he wrote the new rules shortly after the first game, although the exact timeline isn't clear, he said. Zogry intends to research his findings with other research on that topic. "What we know is there was the first game, then there was a second game with the full complement of rules," Zogry said. "He said the players were nagging him about (the new rules) so it sounds like it happened in pretty quick fashion." Naismith's grandson, Jim Naismith, first heard his grandfather's voice once Zogry obtained the audio. He said the record-
ing "changes just about everything that's been written about that first game." "When he turned those 18 guys loose, obviously they were having a good time, but obviously this was kind of try number one. He commented and said he didn't write enough rules. It came out of that experience," Jim Naismith said in a university news release. "That makes a lot of sense." Rob Rains, the author of "James Naismith: The Man Who Invented Basketball," co-written with Naismith's granddaughter Hellen Carpenter, said he didn't know any other audio recording of Naismith. He said the recording suggests that the game "was modified much more quickly than we first thought." Zogry said he was surprised to discover the audio and realize it was the only existing recording of Naismith's voice. "That I was able to find something like this in this day and age, when the media is ubiquitous, to actually find a form of media that had been lost to history and be able to share it with the public through the KU archives is very exciting," he said. The University of Kansas, where Naismith worked for 40 years and was the first basketball coach, has obtained the 13 original rules and is building a structure to house them

By Jim Suhr KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A plan outlining how concealed weapons will be allowed on Kansas college campuses appears poised to advance toward adoption despite mounting opposition from some campus groups across the state. The Kansas Board of Regents' four-member governance committee on Wednesday is expected to approve in Topeka the newest draft governing concealed guns that by state law will be permitted at Kansas' colleges and universities by mid-2017, said Breeze Richardson, a spokeswoman for the regents. The draft's latest revisions will be made public during Wednesday's meeting, though the full board likely will sign off on the policy during its next scheduled meeting in January, Richardson said. Kansas law enables gun owners to carry concealed weapons without a li-
cense, including in many public buildings. Public universities in the state also by law must allow such weapons on their campuses beginning in July 2017 in buildings that don't have security measures including metal detectors — an option broadly considered cost-prohibitive. Opponents have argued that such easing of firearm regulations could hinder classroom discussions because students may worry an armed student or educator who disagrees could react violently, or that a firearm could accidentally discharge or make it easier for the suicidal to harm themselves. Supporters of concealed carry on campus counter that gun-free zones attract mass shootings. Kansas is among eight states that allow carrying a concealed weapon on a college campus, according to a National Conference of State Legislatures database. Missouri and 18 other states
ban carrying a concealed weapon on a college campus, although two Republican lawmakers in Missouri recently proposed legislation to lift that state's ban. Twenty-three other states leave the decision up to the individual college or university. The University of Kansas chancellor and 70 of the school's distinguished professors this month spoke out against concealed carry of guns on campus, generally insisting universities should have authority to restrict firearms considered incompatible with the campus' function. About the same time, Kansas State University professors recently signed a letter to the state Legislature opposing weapons on campus. At Kansas, Mike Williams — an associate journalism professor and president of the University Senate — said allowing students and educators to carry guns on campus is bad policy. But as moderator of discussions about the topic on campus, "it's important to know that I'm not going to go down the path of no guns to the exclusion of people who think it's a good idea" to be armed on campus. His bottom line: Even though there are two legislative sessions between now and mid-2017, it's unlikely the law will be scrapped, though modifications of it are possible. "The basic premise is that in terms of a 180-degree shift in concealed weapons, that's not going to happen," he said. "Certainly universities are moving forward with the notion that change in the law isn't likely." State Rep. Brett Hildabrand, a Shawnee Republican, believes the measure is a matter of fairness, noting that "these mass shootings always happen where law-abiding citizens (with concealed carry permits) are at a disadvantage" in gun-free zones. "I think firearms, by and large, are very accepted (in Kansas), and I don't think the mood of the Legislature has changed," he said. "I think it's important for folks to feel secure and know that, God forbid something like (a campus mass shooting) happens, they have a right to defend themselves and others rather than being just helpless victims."

Oklahoma school districts sue over state aid miscalculations ENID, Okla. (AP) — The Enid Public Schools Board of Education has voted to allow the district to join other schools in legal action over lost state aid. The Enid News & Eagle (http://bit.ly/1P5X6EM ) reports that the lawsuit stems from an admission that the state miscalculated the school funding formula for more than 20 years. Adjustments to the formula were made, and more than $16.3 million in state aid was allocated among hundreds of school districts in February, producing a windfall for some districts and an unforeseen loss for others. School districts now claiming disfavor, including Ponca City, Western Heights and Oklahoma City, responded with legal action against the state. State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister said at the time that that recalculations were done as accurately and quickly as possible.

angry Parsley is alleged to have driven his 2006 tan and gold GMC Sierra into the lobby of Alva Comfort Inn and Suites after asking for a refund on two transactions. The owners said they told him the card he used initially was declined both times. Parsley had paid cash for the last two nights. Christian’s wife, Rupaul (also known as Lily), and an employee, Puja Dhungana, were working at the front desk when Parsley decided to drive into the hotel. Neither was injured, according to the report. R. Christian said Parsley had been rude and vulgar toward her, demanding a refund.

R. Christian stated she had told Parsley after issuing a copy of the void transaction receipts for his card that he would need to contact his credit card company and they would refund him, according to the report. Parsley stated it wasn’t his first bad experience with a hotel manager who was also Indian. R. Christian challenged Parsley’s insult to her Indian heritage. She said, “I told him there are good people and bad people of all ethnicities.” According to the report, Parsley then told staff he was going to “run his truck over them and the property.”

Liggenstoffer’s Service Besides his experience with that program, Liggenstoffer was a standardization instructor pilot and instrument flight examiner in both airplanes and helicopters throughout his military service. “I was raised on the Z-Bar Ranch (west of Hardtner). My dad ran the Z-Bar. I was basically raised by Dewey and Virgie Reed (who also worked on the ranch),” Liggenstoffer said. He graduated from Hardtner High School in 1964. “Then I volunteered to join the army in 1965. I was in aviation all through. I was support – flew nothing with guns on it.” Liggenstoffer received his aviation
training at Fort Rucker in Alabama before his two tours – the first being in 196667. He was with the 101st division and at one point went to DaNang with a VIP Company and hauled generals in a U-21 plane. Referring to his military service, Liggenstoffer said, “It means everything. I loved it. I would do it again in a minute. It was a very rewarding career.” He said due to cuts by the Clinton administration, he was forced to retire in 1993.

Parsley reportedly called the police himself and waited with his pickup aimed at the front door until they arrived. Alva Police Officer Wade Suffron tried to talk him out of his plan to ram the motel. Suffron said he would go into the hotel to discuss the situation with management. The officer said Parsley became more angry and irate and stormed off toward his pickup. He got in and rolled his window down so they could talk. As Suffron tried to reason with him, Parsley reached up and placed his vehicle in drive and accelerated rapidly, crashing into the hotel front entrance and into the lobby. Surveillance video from the hotel shows the pickup backed up once and drove forward again. Suffron stepped back to avoid being hit and radioed dispatch requesting immediate assistance including police, fire and EMS. He approached the first sliding door and saw Parsley’s vehicle stuck against the wall behind the front desk, still accelerating with tires spinning on the floor. Suffron drew his gun and aimed toward the driver’s side back window of the pickup, shouting for Parsley to get out and show his hands. Parsley left the vehicle in the lobby and walked out with his hands up. He was arrested and is being held in Woods County Jail. Suffron found R. Christian and Dhungana kneeling down behind the front desk covering their faces. Surveillance video shows that they had to jump out of the way when the truck crashed into the lobby. Numerous officers arrived on the scene. Two witnesses gave statements. In a post-Miranda interview with officers Suffron and Caviness, Parsely said they thought he was bluffing and he proved he wasn’t. K. Christian said the hotel closed temporarily while staff continued to clear the damage. Christian opened the franchise, part of Choice Hotels, in Alva in 2013. Parsley appeared before a judge Monday. His next appearance has been set for Jan. 12, 2016, at 10 a.m. A Brille hearing has been scheduled in Woods County District Court for 3 p.m. today (Dec. 16) after the state recommended that bond be denied, vacating the million dollar bond set earlier. During a Brille hearing, evidence may be presented to support an argument for a reasonable or lower bail.

• for three-years of art work by your toddler • to cover your floor when you paint the ceiling • to wrap and pack zillions of dishes for moving • package hundreds of Christmas presents The newspaper offices sells them for 20 cents a pound. A smallish roll is usually $5.
