Two charged with grand larceny of firewood By Marione Martin Two men have been charged with larceny involving the theft of firewood. According to court records, Tyson Charles West, 29, of Cherokee and Jeremy Lynn Evans, 36, of Cherokee have each been charged with a felony of grand larceny. On April 4, Paul and Carol Doman told Alfalfa County Deputy Sheriff Blake Trekell that several ricks of wood had been stolen from behind the Butcher Block BBQ in Nescatunga as well as from their property to the west of the restaurant. They took Trekell to the property where he could see wood had been stacked causing bare spots on the ground. He could also see several places where a vehicle had left tracks in and out of the area next to the pile. Carol Doman said she received a call on April 1 from her granddaughter in West Virginia. During the conversation, the granddaughter said her mother Sheila Mayfield wanted her to tell Paul that her brother, Jeremy Evans, stole the wood from behind the café and across the street west on Chinaberry Trail. Carol said the granddaughter told her it was Evans and another man who lived nearby who took the wood. Carol reported approximately eight ricks of wood valued at $80 to $85 a rick had been stolen. On July 7, Sheila Mayfield wrote a statement while at the Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Office. She wrote that West had moved to Nescatunga in October The Alva Review-Courier / Newsgram is published Wednesday by Martin Broadcasting Corp. 620 Choctaw St. Alva, Oklahoma 73717 Lynn L.

2013 and was in contact with his sister Kassandra. Mayfield said her son Evans was dating Kassandra. Mayfield said she was staying with Evans and Kassandra until she could find her own place. She said West told Kassandra they had a fireplace but no wood, and Evans said he could get all he wanted from his grandpa’s (Paul Doman) property. Mayfield told Evans he needed to ask first, but he said it would be ok because he was the firstborn grandson and Doman wouldn’t care. Mayfield also wrote that she would come home from work in the evening and Evans and Kassandra would be gone. When she would see them the next day, they would say they went to West’s and got more firewood. She told them it wasn’t a good idea, but they continued. On July 11, Deputy Trekell traveled to Woods County after receiving authorization from a Woods County deputy. He interviewed Evans at his place of employment and asked him about firewood at Domans in Nescatunga. Evans said he didn’t know what he was talking about. He said he was getting pre-
cut firewood for West from the Cherokee city dump. He told Trekell he got about five or six loads out of the dump. Trekell asked Evans about the statements he had made about getting firewood from his grandpa’s, and Evans said he just said he knew where to get it but he didn’t get any from there. Later he said he got wood from the city dump, but he didn’t know where West might have found wood. After more discussion, Evans admitted to Trekell that he had taken five to six loads from Domans’ with a load being what he could fit in an SUV with the seats down. Evans wrote a letter of apology stating he took around five loads of wood from Paul Doman during the winter months of 2014 to supply heat for Tyson West. West has a criminal history with offenses ranging from burglary to grand larceny. Evans has a lengthy criminal history with several arrests for burglary. Jeremy Evans and Kasandra Villarreal have filed a protective order in Alfalfa County against Paul L. Doman and Carol K. Doman.
Arrest on warrants adds drug charge By Marione Martin A Jet woman being arrested on outstanding warrants had a drug charge added. According to documents on file, on July 16 about 11:35 a.m. Alfalfa County Deputy Sheriff Blake Trekell went to the address of Belinda Leann Hood, 51, in Jet to serve four outstanding warrants for her arrest. After he knocked several times, Hood came to the door. She was wearing a button-down shirt and under shorts. He explained she had warrants and was under arrest. Hood asked to get her phone and some pants and shoes before they left. Trekell said it would be fine but he would have to go in with her. She went back in the residence and walked
over to a coffee table where she stood rustling something plastic. She continued this activity a short time before walking back to the bedroom, stopping for a moment to again mess with whatever she had in her hand. Trekell suspected Hood was trying to conceal something and asked what was in her hand. She said it was a cigarette pack, and she was trying to get a cigarette out. Trekell asked to look at it. Tucked between the wrapper of the package and the plastic wrapper was a small clear plastic baggie with a crystal substance inside that appeared to be methamphetamine. Trekell asked See Drugs Page 18

Oops, I inadvertently saw a shoplifting incident at Wal-Mart By Lynn L. Martin I hope most of you are opposed to shoplifting. Thievery is a sin. It is against the law. And shoplifting causes the rest of our prices to go higher to make up for the merchant’s loss. I figured most shoplifting occurs when someone is in an aisle looking at products, and when he/she thinks no one is looking slips an item into a coat pocket or purse. Most larger volume stores and supermarkets have extensive video systems with cameras positioned over the aisle and fulltime monitors to watch for the typical shoplifter. A totally different method of shoplifting occurred right before my eyes and I was clueless as to what was happening. I had one item to purchase at WalMart, so I chose the fast lane. In front of me were two people, a young woman and a young man of about college age. It appears they weren’t married even though they shared a shopping card. She unloaded her items from the shopping cart to the conveyor belt and and made it clear she wanted to pay for them separately.
The 20-something young man unloaded his items from the cart onto the conveyor belt, but I noticed he left one item in the cart. I started to say something like, “Oh, did you notice you missed something?” But I didn’t. I mainly skipped the intended “helpful comment” because he moved the cart to his other side and she started loading the plastic sacks of her paid-for goods back into the cart for an obvious trip to the parking lot. While the cashier was busy swiping his items over the scanner, he turned to the shopping cart and dropped the one remaining item into one of his shopping partner’s plastic sacks. After he supplied payment to the cashier, he loaded his sacks into the same cart and they headed for the door. The cashier was a short woman who could not possibly see over the payment apparatus into the cart to observe the untallied item It was when he dropped the unobserved bottle (by the cashier) into the sack that I realized I had just witnessed a shoplifter in action. I’m not sure what the product was but it was in a smooth stylish black torpedo shaped glass container probably containing spray hairgel or something like that. I was so surprised that I didn’t know what to do. My inner-self said, “Say something,” but my cowardly self reasoned that this was a very fit young man standing four feet away from me and it might not be healthy to accuse him of stealing. So they leisurely shoved the cart toward the exit door. The “check-your-
tape” guy was not on duty so no one inspected their goods against the sales ticket. In fact, they were so comfortable they visited for several minutes with an acquaintance in front of the Red Box video machine. In the meantime, the cashier had to make a trip to the service desk to get a security device removed from my purchase. When she got back, I said, “That young man just shoplifted an item. He never removed it from his cart to be scanned and then when other bags were deposited in the cart he dropped the item in a bag.” She looked concerned, but said, “We clerks are not allowed to make accusations like that. You can say something, but we can’t.” Later, I visited with a former WalMart manager who told me that only management level staff can challenge someone on stealing and they can never let them out of their sight after observing a theft. I had guilty thoughts most of the weekend that I didn’t “do” something but the former Wal-Mart employee assured me I made the right choice. It would seem to me that shoplifting method demonstrates quite a hole in their security system. No stuffing things into pockets. No obvious give-away signs by a lot of head-swiveling and looking around. Looks like to me a video camera needs to be mounted over the check-out lane pointed downward with a monitor prominently mounted above the cash-register so both the clerk and the customer can see what’s in the cart.

Freedom Schools ready for new year By Lynn L. Martin The Freedom school board just managed a quorum for their Monday night meeting. Eric Smith and Shane Morris were not present. Those attending were Concha Herrera, Cindy Reed and Joe Jessup. Superintent Danny McCuiston expressed concern that the new floor coverings may not be ready in time for the start of school. He said he has been promised the workers will show up Tuesday, July 22, for the 10-day job, and that they will work over the weekends. He reported the new watering system, along with the rain, has produced

an abundant crop of weeds. They hope to bury the sprinkler heads in the next couple of weeks. He has also picked up some chemicals from the co-op to fight broad leaf weeds and sand burs. The superintendent told the board he is meeting with David Hobza of Infrastructure Solutions and John Merz of Corbin and Merz Architects to solicit ideas on the following issues: • Roof leaks in the gym • Building upgrades to the gym • Gym floor issues • Heating and cooling upgrades • Roof leaks in the agriculture building • Roof issue with the storm shelter • Possible new agriculture facility • Weight room facility • Restroom upgrades When these professionals come back with proposals on how best to handle these issues, he will bring their ideas to the board. At that time, the board will have to decide if they want to call an election to pay for the project. McCuiston stated firmly that if an election were to be called, he would want to avoid the November election, which may have a marijuana legalization question on the ballot, which likely would draw a very skewed vote. Principal Brett Hill said they have eight 3-year olds signed up for that program. He urged that parents of all grades drop by the school immediately to pick up enrollment packets. He said that as of the day of the school board meeting, they have 94 students enrolled, up about four from last year.
Hill said the district will once again use the “Alpha Plus Educational System “ for the 2014-2015 school year and that Shannon Stewart will be the lead facilitator as she was last year. He said he was looking forward to keeping the momentum they have going in the elementary school with the Alpha Plus program. The board voted to hire the following certified teachers on regular contracts: Katie Strehl, Kellie Badley, Katy Ferguson, Charlotte Selfridge, Sharon Harper and Jeanne Weber. They voted to hire the following certified teachers on temporary one-year contracts: Tiffany Leitz, Calvin Neill, Holly Neill, Jennifer Williams and Margret Woodard-Smith. The board approved the following extra duty contracts: Donna Fearing – Special education director Calvin Neill – Coaching (basketball and track) Katie Strehl – Academic teams Brett Hill and Stevy Hill – Senior sponsor Jeanne Weber – Junior sponsor Brett Hill – Athletic director Margret Woodward-Smith – Math Club Jennifer Williams – Science Club The following support contracts were approved: Brenda Daughhtee, Dalene Dauphin, Heidi Cook, Dawn Wares, Islia Barnes and Stevy Hill. In a final action, the board vote to authorize the superintendent to approve all fundraisers during the 2014-2015 school year.

Kiowa hospital board continues to search for CEO, forms `manor action’ committee Sets special tax budget review meeting for Friday; Manor needs night nurse and CNAs By Yvonne Miller The Kiowa District Hospital (KDH) board met for their July meeting last Thursday evening. President Zack Odell presided over the meeting with all members present, including Lori Schrock, Jim Parker, Brenna May and Chantae Simpson. Interim Hospital Administrator/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Steve Davis also sat at the board table. Hospital personnel also attending were Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Janell Goodno, Dr. Paul Wilhelm, Physician Assistant and Clinic Manager Melissa Stroh, hospital Director of Nurses Heidi Courson, Interim Manor Administrator Carla Dunigan. A handful of other hospital employees and district patrons attended. At the end of the meeting, the board held an executive session. Upon return to open session they formed two committees. One of those is an executive search committee to continue the search for a hospital administrator/CEO. That committee is comprised of Odell, Schrock and Davis. During a CEO report earlier in the meeting, Davis said they had an interview scheduled with an administrator candidate for that night, but the out-of-state bank the man worked at flooded. The other committee the board formed after executive session was a manor action committee with members Parker, Simpson and Davis. After executive session, the
hospital also approved the monthly risk management/quality assurance reports for the hospital and manor. Tax Budget, New Doc, Building Update CFO Goodno provided the board with four options for the 2015 tax budget for their consideration. The tax budget must be published in the paper by July 30. The KDH current mill is 14.305, Goodno said. The last time KDH had a mill increase was 2011 (that was set in the 2010 tax budget). Only the fourth option would increase mills. Several board members voiced their opinion that they do not want to see a millage increase. The board called a special meeting for July 25 at 8 a.m. to further review the tax budget options and select one in time to meet deadlines. Davis said in visiting with Kiowa’s new physician, Dr. Christie Leal, “She’s very excited about coming here.” He said Leal and her husband are checking into houses in Kiowa. Since Leal is finishing her residency in New York, her first day in Kiowa will be early February. Giving an update on the new facility, Davis they had a meeting planned the next week with the contractor and architect to discuss a few issues. One regards seals on doors and some leaks in the roof. KDH has a 12-month warranty on the new facility, Davis said. “Other than that, the building is working,” Davis said. When discussing utilities, a question was asked about the old hospital building. In the hospital’s June operating statement, it showed telephone and utilities expense totaling $11,725, which is $6,158 over the budgeted amount. The Friends of the Hospital and Manor Foundation is the only entity housed there in the former clinic area and only use air in that area when someone is there. Davis confirmed they only have on enough air in that building so it will not get moldy and
musty. There’s no telephone service and no water is used. Davis said the utility cost increase is due to the larger square footage of the new building. When asked, Goodno said the foundation is trying to raise about $150,000 to pay the remainder of their part for the bricks and mortar of the new hospital. Updates, Finances and Statistics at Hospital and Manor Regarding a hospital update, hospital DON Courson said the new traction machine arrived. She said the new signage for the Emergency Room arrived and it’s helping the flow of traffic to the ER. Also cameras in the ER area help. Giving a report on the manor, Administrator Dunigan said how great the new ice machine is working. She said the annual fire marshal report resulted in a good survey. The manor needs a night nurse and Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) for both night and day shifts, Dunigan said. Manor residents held a bake sale (with donated items) that raised $300 for their activity fund. Staff is taking some of residents on an outing Friday to Tanganika Wildlife Park in Wichita and a restaurant. The manor had 24 residents at the end of June, but had four deaths, so had 21 residents the day of the July board meeting, Dunigan said. For June, the manor’s operating statement showed net patient revenue of $108,872 and total operating revenue of $109,540. Operating expenses totaled $158,801. That made net from operations a loss of $49,261. Dunigan said agency nursing pay increased (by $25,652), but salaries were less by ($10,730.) The agency staff filled the positions held by staff who were gone on vacation, unfilled positions, etc. With the addition of $5,830 (mainly tax revenue), the manor showed a loss of $43,430 for June. Year to date, the manor has lost $223,750. In June, year-to-date hospital statistics show the clinic has seen 275 more patients than the same time last See Hospital Page 54

South Barber capital improvements beginning, board reorganizes for new year Walking path project cost increases, but to proceed By Yvonne Miller At the July meeting of the South Barber School Board of Education last week, members reorganized for the new 2014-15 school year; heard about upcoming capital improvements and more. They also approved, for the second time, the new 10-point grading scale. That discussion was featured in a separate story in the Newsgram last Wednesday. Board members voted to keep the same officers as last year with Steve Allen as president and Deb Helfrich as vice-president. Walter Fry remains the appointed treasurer. Julie Johnson is the appointed board clerk with Mary Lynn Meyers deputy board clerk. Other board members attending the meeting were Deb Helfrich, Jeff Black, Mike Anderson and Dana Roark. Members absent were Dooli Rugg and Mark Pollock. Capital Improvement Projects Beginning Superintendent Brad Morris updated the board on summer capital improvement projects.

The new walking path discussed for some time near the high school is about to proceed. This is despite announcement of increased costs of $12,000 as confirmed by City Administrator Nathan Law who attended the school board meeting. Law said the total cost of the walking path is now $72,000. Shell Oil donated $20,000 to the project that will provide a safe pathway for walkers and students who walk to and from school. From the beginning, the South Barber Recreation Commission agreed to pay the remainder, which is now $52,000. “The rec commission is getting hit with another $12,000,” Anderson said. The board approved proceeding with the walking path with Anderson opposed. The walking path goes from Hardtner Street, northeast to the high school tennis courts and from the tennis courts to the entrance of the football field. The sidewalk from Hardtner Street will also have a new fence installed to enclose it. Increased Valuation and Other Board Business Superintendent Morris said as of July 1, the school received word that through Barber County figures, the district’s valuation is $110,391,046, which is up from $92,202,397 for 2013-14. Although proposed budget figures are not yet finalized, Morris said preliminary numbers indicate for the 2014-15 school year, USD 255’s estimated overall mill rate should drop by about one mill. The board approved payment of current bills for July totaling $79,316.59. A bid from Midwest Transit for a 47-passenger bus was approved by the board. The amount with the trade-in of
two buses is $67,994, which was the low bid. The other two companies who submitted bids were Kansas Truck and Midwest Bus. The resignation of Druelle Hanson as middle school assistant volleyball coach was accepted by the board. The board reviewed changes to the high school student handbook by Principal Brent Shafer. These included bullying; the policies for Chromebook (a google-powered laptop given to each high school student) such as fees, care and take home privileges; sexual harassment; school lunch program; and graduation requirements. Kiowa District Hospital offers free physicals to all South Barber students. A coupon was mailed to all household with students’ grade cards. The physicals are to be completed by the end of July. School Reorganization Business The board approved many items that are required as they begin the new fiscal year for 2014-15. Some of those items are: 1,116 hour school year; a waver of general accounting procedures; clerk to pay bills early as needed; textbook rental fee of $3; lunch price increase of .10 cents; clerk to invest idle funds; signatures for bank accounts; mileage reimbursement rate is .56 cents per mile; petty cash limits; non-discrimination notice; review records in storage; competitive bid limits to remain at $10,000; rescind all actions by the board which established policy for the previous year; board policy book; designate each principal to administer activity fund in their building; Hiland Dairy as the district’s milk supplier; regular board meeting dates; KASB as the district’s attorney. Numerous appointments were approved that are not listed. Some of the most notable are: Busby Smith and Ford as auditor for $6,600 plus expenses; Steve Allen as the board’s representative for the special education cooperative; Kiowa News as the school’s official newspaper; the board’s Governmental Relations Network representative as Deb Helfrich with alternate Dana Roark; the adoption agreement and consultant service contract of Kansas Association of School Boards.

Scott Hofen officiating. Burial followed in Good Hope Cemetery south of Helena. Arrangements were by Lanman Funeral Home, Inc. of Helena. Memories may be shared at www. lanmanmemorials. com. Kristen was born in Enid on May 1, 1997, to Troy and Stephanie Shepard and departed this life on July 15, 2014, at Children’s Medical Center in Oklahoma City. Kristen had just finished her junior year at Cherokee High School and was looking forward to all the things her senior year had to offer. Kristen was involved in many activities in her school and community. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Helena where she was involved in her youth group and assisted with vacation Bible school. It was during this time that she made the most important decision of her life to accept Christ as her Savior.

She was also nominated captain of her cheer squad. Kristen was also an active member of the Cherokee FFA Chapter.

Hood what it was, and she said she didn’t know but the people at her house last night told her that it was ice. Trekell allowed Hood to put on her additional clothing and placed her in restraints and told her she was also being arrested on the drug charge. While on the way to the jail, Trekell read Hood her Miranda rights. During his interview with Hood she said she couldn’t remember the names of the two men at her house the prior night. She admitted she had smoked the substance she called ice with the men, trying it for the first time. Hood has two prior arrests for felony drug possession. Hood was charged in Alfalfa County with unlawful possession of controlled drug without a valid prescription, a felony.

Burlington superintendent contract signed, stipend for teachers, organize for new year Best-ever financial picture for school By Yvonne Miller At the regular July meeting of the Burlington Board of Education last week, Superintendent Elliott’s contract was signed; certified teachers received a stipend; para-professionals were rehired; and all the reorganizational business for the 2014-15 school year was conducted. Board President Terry Graham presided over the meeting with all members present including: Beth Guffy, Allison Armbruster, Aaron Smith and Roger Allen (who arrived late). Others present were: Superintendent Glen Elliott, Principal Shane Feely and Minutes Clerk, Linda Gordon. The board signed Superintendent Elliott’s contract, which has no change from last year, he said. They also signed 12 month employee contracts for six employees. Those employees were Travis Bradshaw, Fawnda Martin, Linda Gordon, Tamre Bohn, Derek Martin and Jeremy Harper. Discussing the school’s financial situation, the superintendent said, “It’s even a little better than my estimate last month.” Elliott said the school’s cumulative fund balance “is the highest it’s ever been.” The estimate is $1,091,000, he said. Elliott said there are oil/gas wells that are not yet reflected on the tax revenues and more drilling is anticipated. Following an approximately 45-minute executive session toward the end of the meeting, the board approved that Burlington teachers would qualify to receive stipends up to $3,000 for the 2014-2015 school year. To qualify, certified employees would need to attend and participate in Promethean Board trainings to be held in three sessions at $1,000 stipend for each training as per the plan presented. Also after executive session, the board rehired paraprofessionals Kathy Motycka, Aliene Gosselin and Shannon Shrum for the 2014-2015 school year. Board members agreed with Elliott that these ladies did “a great job for our school” and they are needed
again this coming school year. Teacher Judy Elliott joined the meeting to distribute the student handbook and board policy book changes for 2014-2015. Some of the necessary changes were not yet available. The board expressed their appreciation to Elliott for her work on the updates. Both items were tabled until further review. With Elliott still at the meeting, the board discussed and approved purchase of six new sewing machines for her classroom. The cost is $349 each from Alva Sewing Center. After a short discussion, the board approved the purchase of a new electronic keyboard from Wichita Symphony Music for $3,077. Superintendent Elliott apprised the board that besides new construction work at the school, there are many ongoing summer projects – mowing, weed-eating and painting. Elliott said there has been extra heavy lifting required with the need to move files and desks and to install Promethean Boards. He said the extra help was appreciated. All the buses, suburbans, and the ag pickup are scheduled for summer maintenance and inspections, he said. The superintendent said four of the five board members indicated they’ll attend the OSBA & COSSA Conference Aug. 22-24. Board Reorganizes for 2014-15 School Year and Other Business The school’s property and liability insurance coverage with OSRMT was board approved at $20,645 from July 2014 to the end of June 2015. The board reviewed and approved the encumbrances, change orders and warrants as follows: General Fund 2015 – Encumbrances – 1-72 – $261,136.52 Payroll Accrual Warrants – 1-40 – $50,342.15 Building Fund – Encumbrances – 1-4 – $16,706.92 2014 Reserves Warrants – 1247-1250 – $64,349 Other items approved include the June activity report; all sub accounts in the activity fund for 2014-2015 as
listed on agenda item #10; the use of “signature facsimile” stamps for the Board of Education officers; the activities calendar and fundraising requests for 2014-2015; to continue section 125 flexible benefits plan with American Fidelity (the same cafeteria plan for employee’s choice the school offers annually); to adopt the school days to hours policy allowed by HB 1864. Agenda items 11 through 17 were considered together as the board made one motion to apply to all seven items. These were routine housekeeping authorizations for the new school year 2014-15, involving Superintendent Elliott, Principal Shane Feely, secretaries Linda Gordon and Tamre Bond, Judy Elliott and Fawnda Martin. The superintendent said all those authorizations are important to make sure all individuals are bonded for the position for which they are authorized. The board approved and signed a resolution authorizing the county treasurer to invest cash on hand that cannot be used at this time for the purpose for which it was intended. The treasurer can invest these funds in certificates of deposit or make other investments as authorized by Oklahoma state law and to make such investments at the highest rate of interest available. This resolution also authorizes and directs the treasurer to deposit interest derived from such investments from monies from the general, building and bond funds to be deposited into the general fund account and interest from monies from the child nutrition fund be deposited into the child nutrition fund. The board also approved a corporate resolution to approve a business purchase card agreement with Prosperity Bank and OSSBA of Oklahoma City. This authorizes Superintendent Elliott to enter into agreement and instruct Prosperity Bank to issue purchase cards to one or more employees of the school for the account of the school and in respect of which the school shall be responsible. Two milk bids were submitted. One was from Mid-America Wholesale at $0.39 and the second was from Hiland Dairy at $0.3571. The board approved the milk bid from Hiland Dairy.

Alfalfa County Educational Facilities Authority approved by commissioners By Leslie Nation CHEROKEE – The Alfalfa County commissioners met on Monday for its regular session on July 21 at 10 a.m. Before approving regular business, the commissioners heard from auditor Robin Fast to discuss the Alfalfa County’s two year financial audit. Fast gave each commissioner a hand-out that outlined their responsibilities for the audit. Fast informed them that communication throughout the audit is expected to be two-way, informing the commissioners about what they are finding or any obstacles that they are facing while answering any questions that the commissioners may have. After meeting with Fast, the commissioners moved on with agenda to review open bids for the lease on a backhoe. A bid of $332,420 was made by Warren CAT from Enid and another from Yellowhouse Machinery Company with a total of $299,383. Commissioner Chairman Doug Murrow motioned to accept the bid from Yellowhouse, which the other members approved. Following the approval of the open bid from Yellowhouse, Jeff Raley – representing Floyd Law Firm – returned to discuss and seek the approval from the commissioners for the formation of the Alfalfa County Educational Facilities Authority that he discussed in the com-
missioners’ regular session on June 23. Raley reiterated that this Oklahoma public trust uses a lease revenue financing. “It’s very positive for the school system because it allows them to get their money up front, build improvements, and then pay it back on their time with general obligation bonds, which have already been approved by the voters,” Raley said. Superintendent of the Cherokee Public Schools Cory Ellis also attended the meeting to advocate the formation of this authority and state the importance of passing the general obligation bonds. “The reason why we chose now is because in the last three years we’ve seen a 32 percent increase in our evaluation,” Ellis said. “What that allows us to do is to do more ‘bang for the buck’ as far as increase in the money that we receive and less burden on the taxpayers as we go along.” Ellis went on to state that this authority was not just for Cherokee Public Schools, but would be able to impact the rest of the county in the future. This would be able to establish the Alfalfa County as an authority if other cities within the county decided to follow suit. After discussing the issue further and getting the agreement from Ellis to give updates on the Cherokee schools, the commissioners approved the formation of the authority. Resolutions and documents will be brought to the next general meeting on Monday. The commissioners then moved to approve regular items on the agenda, such as minutes from the meeting last Monday, M & O warrants, blanket pur-
chase orders and road crossing permits. There were 16 total road crossing permits approved. Other items approved on the agenda were: • plans for EW18 Greer Road Overlay for remainder 6.87 miles, • county clerk to go out on bids for bunker gear for Jet Responders, • county clerk to go out on bids for one or more belly dump trailer(s), • county clerk to go out on bids for EW18 Greer Road Overlay for remainder 6.87 miles, • resolution for disposing of equipment for treasurer for O’Sullivan Oak Desk item #100 and for Fellows Shredder #C223-100, • resolution for disposing equipment for assessor for four-drawer file cabinet, • amended estimate of needs for the assessor for 2014-2015 for new software for the office, • Carol Doman’s letter for leaving the board secretary for Nescatunga Responders, • private property access easement NE/4 of 14-26-11 load free dirt for EMS building, • and Programming Resolution CN 2110, NBI# 13020, Structure #02E0260N2590008 Bridge and Approaches. The meeting was then adjourned. Alfalfa County road crossing revenue is as follows: Dist. #

Man charged in Oklahoma with child abuse in Kenya OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma man has been charged with sexually abusing boys and girls while volunteering at an organization in Kenya that assists neglected children. Matthew Lane Durham, of Edmond, is accused of engaging in sex acts with as many as ten children aged from 4 to 10 years while volunteering at Upendo Children's Home in Nairobi from April to June 2014. The complaint filed in the U.S. District Court of Western Oklahoma last week says the 19-year-old Durham has volunteered with Upendo since June

2012. Durham wrote and signed a confession that an Upendo official provided to the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, according to an affidavit filed by FBI agent Scott Lobb. In it, he admitted to sexually abusing boys and girls in a bathroom at the children's home. At least one of the victims is HIV positive, according to the affidavit. During previous visits, Durham lived with sponsor families in Nairobi, but for his most recent trip he requested to stay at the children's home in an "overflow bunk," Lobb wrote. A live-in caretaker at the children's home became suspicious of Durham's behavior and inquired with the children, who told her about the abuse, the affidavit states. The caretaker then reported the allegations to Upendo officials, who

obtained a confession from Durham, confiscated his passport and notified local police, Lobb wrote. Telephone and email messages left with Durham's attorney Stephen Jones on Tuesday were not immediately returned. Jones told The Oklahoman newspaper that the complaint is "shot through with inaccuracies" and that his client is the victim. Durham returned to the U.S. last month. He was arrested Thursday in Edmond and is currently being held at the Logan County jail, according to the U.S. Marshal's Office. A preliminary hearing is set for Aug. 1. A statement from Upendo Kids International Director Eunice Menja said the Edmond-based company is cooperating with authorities, but declined further comment. Durham faces four counts: traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct; engaging in illicit sexual conduct in foreign places; attempt and conspiracy; and aggravated sexual abuse with children. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison.

Study: 1 in 4 Oklahoma kids live in poverty OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Nearly 1 in 4 Oklahoma children live in poverty and the number of children living in high-poverty areas has more than doubled since 2000, according to a national study released Tuesday. The 25th annual Kids Count report from the Baltimore-based Annie E. Casey Foundation ranked Oklahoma 39th in 16 indicators across four areas: economic well-being, education, health and family and community. The state dropped from 36th in 2013, one of the largest declines in the national listing. "There are a couple of areas where we improved, but even with the improvement, Oklahoma isn't doing very well, really, on outcomes for children," said Terry Smith, president of the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy, which directs the Oklahoma Kids Count.
Nationally, the poverty rate increased from 19 percent in 2005 to 23 percent in 2012. The states with the highest overall child well-being rankings are Massachusetts, Vermont, Iowa, New Hampshire and Minnesota. The lowest ranking states are Arizona, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico and Mississippi. The report shows that 1 in 10 teens ages 16 to 19 was not attending school and not working in 2012, which is a 25 percent increase from 2008. But there are some bright spots in the report. Reading proficiency improved by 7 percent from 2005 to 2013, while math proficiency improved by 5 percent during the same time period. Teen births among girls age 15 to 19 years old decreased 13 percent, from 54 teen births per 1,000 in 2005 to 47 teen births per 1,000 in 2012. But Smith said the teen birth rate is
Are you the picture of health?
still a problem. "It's really a struggle in Oklahoma. We're really one of the worst states in the country for teen birth rates. Even though we did improve — and that's a positive thing — our numbers are still not good." The state also needs to do a better job supporting the teens once they become mothers — helping them take care of their babies, stay in school and get a job, Smith said. Laura Speer, the associate director for policy reform and advocacy at the Annie E. Casey Foundation, said it's surprising Oklahoma doesn't fare as well economically as other states in the Great Plains region with a strong energy sector. States such as South Dakota and North Dakota are among the best states in the country for economic well-being for kids, she said. "In lots of ways, Oklahoma should be right up there with them. There's something there around the employment rate in Oklahoma. They're lagging behind those other Plains states," she said.

By Astrid Galvan and Jim Salter PHOENIX (AP) — A case challenging Arizona's refusal to reveal detailed information about the lethal drugs it plans to use to put an inmate to death is now headed to the U.S. Supreme Court. The dispute centers on whether a man convicted of killing his estranged girlfriend and her father has a constitutional right to know more about his execution than Arizona officials have been willing to disclose. It comes amid nationwide scrutiny surrounding lethal injections as Arizona and several other states have withheld details of the process, including the supplier of their execution drugs, how or whether those drugs are tested, or details about the qualifications of the execution team. A federal appeals court ruled Monday that Arizona cannot execute Joseph Rudolph Wood, convicted in the 1989 shooting deaths, without providing the lethal injection information he has requested. The decision prompted state officials to say they will take their case to the nation's high court. Arizona officials had been seeking to have the full 11-member 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturn a judgment from a three-judge panel that said Wood "raised serious questions" about whether he should have "access to lethal injection drug information and executioner
qualifications." The ruling against the state marked the first time that an appeals court has delayed an execution based on the issue of drug secrecy, said Richard Dieter, director of the Death Penalty Information Center in Washington, D.C. Some of the most active death penalty states — including Texas, Florida and Missouri — have been the subject of similar lawsuits from virtually every death row inmate facing imminent execution over the past several months, but courts have rarely stepped in. Dale Baich, an attorney for Wood, said his team is "looking forward to Arizona turning over the information that we requested." "The 9th Circuit has correctly recognized the importance of the information that Joe Wood sought," Baich said. Arizona attorney general's office spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham, however, said the state will file an application with the U.S. Supreme Court asking it to dismiss the ruling and allow prison officials to put Wood to death without any such disclosures. It's not clear whether the high court will take up the case, but Dieter said it shows judiciary disagreement on the issue. "That is often an invitation for the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene," Dieter said. If the Supreme Court does step in,
death penalty experts say it's likely the appeals court decision will be overruled. Chief Judge Alex Kozinski, of the 9th Circuit, dissented from the decision Monday that led to the state's planned Supreme Court appeal. "I have little doubt that the Supreme Court will thwart this latest attempt to interfere with the State of Arizona's efforts to carry out its lawful sentence and bring Wood to justice for the heinous crimes he committed a quarter century ago," Kozinski wrote. The process of lethal injections and whether inmates unduly suffer has come into focus several times this year. An Ohio inmate in January snorted and gasped during the 26 minutes it took him to die. And an Oklahoma execution was botched in April as prison officials halted the process after noticing the drugs weren't being administered properly. The inmate died of a heart attack several minutes later. For decades, the vast majority of executions in the U.S. were carried out through the same method, a three-drug protocol using pharmaceuticals purchased from major drugmakers. But in the mid-2000s, courts began to consider whether lethal injection could violate the inmates' constitutional guarantee against cruel and unusual punishment. The Supreme Court eventually allowed lethal injection to proceed, but the issue led major drug companies — many of them based in Europe, where opposition to the death penalty is strong — to stop selling drugs for use in executions. States have turned to compounding pharmacies, which make drugs specifically for individual clients and don't face the same oversight as the bigger companies. Neither the states nor the compounding pharmacies want their names made public, citing harassment concerns. When an Oklahoma compounding pharmacy was outed as Missouri's supplier early this year, it was met with protests and unwanted publicity. The pharmacy stopped selling to the Missouri Department of Corrections.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A man charged with 10 shootings along Kansas City-area highways earlier this year says he is innocent and he has the evidence to prove it. Mohammed Whitaker is basing the claim largely on one piece of evidence that tracked which cellphone towers handled calls from his phone on April 2, the day of the sixth shooting, according to The Kansas City Star (http://bit.ly/UpqCLV ). The newspaper reported Whitaker had called the paper at least eight times in recent weeks from the Jackson County jail to press his claims. Whitaker, 28, is charged with 20 felony counts stemming from 10 shooting incidents in March and April. Whitaker contends that if the 5:30 p.m. time listed on a police re-
port for the shooting near Grandview is correct, he could not have been in the area. Police and prosecutors would not discuss the April 2 incident or Whitaker's claims. His attorney also declined to comment, the newspaper said. "We save our comments for the courtroom where we await Mr. Whitaker," said Mike Mansur, a spokesman for the Jackson County prosecutor's office. The records place his phone about nine miles from the shooting just six minutes before it reportedly happened. Whitaker said he could not have covered that route during rush hour traffic as he headed home from work in Overland Park, Kansas. However, the police report said
the shooting victim said his truck was hit by a bullet "approximately" April 2 at "approximately" 5:30 p.m. The victim was not hurt. Whitaker told the newspaper he had received enough paperwork through the discovery process to fill two bank boxes. When The Star asked him to share more, he sent only 11 pages, which included three pages of cellphone mapping data. He said he had been a victim of the highway shooter but didn't report it because he was driving on a revoked license. "I was wrongfully accused of being the highway shooter," Whitaker said. "I am actually an unreported victim. The detectives definitely jumped to conclusions . The real highway shooter is still out there."

Kobach foe criticizes ‘dual’ Kansas voting system TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Secretary of State Kris Kobach's opponent in the Republican primary predicted Tuesday that a "dual" voting system designed by him to help Kansas enforce a proof-of-citizenship rule will confuse voters and suppress turnout. Challenger Scott Morgan's criticism of Kobach came a day after the secretary of state's office began mailing notices to dozens of voters who registered using a national form without providing proof of their U.S. citizenship to election officials. Kobach advised counties last month to set aside those voters' ballots and count only their votes in congressional races in the Aug. 5 election. "It becomes baffling," Morgan said. "It doesn't take much to persuade Kansans that there are better things to
do with their time than vote, because they're pretty disillusioned with a lot of what's going on." The new policy was a response to an uncertain legal climate surrounding Kansas' handling of national voter registration forms, which require only that voters sign a statement affirming their U.S. citizenship. Kobach dismissed his challenger's criticism, saying, "Maybe Mr. Morgan is confused." States must accept the national form, but Kansas and Arizona filed a lawsuit last year in hopes of forcing the federal government to add specific instructions to help the two states enforce their proof-of-citizenship laws. With that case before a federal appeals court, the American Civil Liberties Union last month lost a separate state-court battle

to force Kansas to accept the national forms without citizenship papers and count the voters' full ballots. The registrations of nearly 19,500 prospective Kansas voters are on hold because they haven't yet documented their citizenship, and Kobach believes fewer than 200 used the national form. The rest will have their ballots set aside and none of their votes will be counted. Kobach is the architect of the proof-of-citizenship law and argues that it is preventing illegal voting by noncitizens, particularly immigrants in the U.S. illegally. The law took effect last year. Morgan contends Kobach has inflated the danger of such fraud and said the new policy to help enforce the law will erode trust in the fairness of the state's elections. "I think it will suppress the vote," Morgan said. "Everything he's put in place is designed, almost, to dissuade people from bothering to register or to show up." But Kobach said the notices to voters using the national form give them another chance to produce citizenship papers before the election. If they don't, he said, they'll get the same ballot as other voters at each polling place. Theirs will be set aside using the standard procedure when poll workers doubt someone is eligible, he said. "I don't think there'll be any voters who are confused," Kobach said. Kobach is seeking his second, fouryear term as secretary of state. The GOP primary winner will face Democratic former state Sen. Jean Schodorf, of Wichita.

JOHN A. FUQUA YOUR CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER I am very grateful for the recent rains. Grass is much prettier when it is green and the air feels clean. I have been out driving and studying the roads, formulating a plan for the future. There are some roads that are good and some that desperately need attention. Mail routes and bus routes are number one on my list. The mail carriers are out there six days a week. If their routes are impeded by roads that are barely passable in the best weather, they become even more difcult in inclement weather. I will be communicating with the carriers and making sure they can get to your home with your mail. I will also speak with the bus drivers from each of the schools that operate in our county. The children must be able to get to school safely and on time. No parent should have to wonder if their child's bus is going to get stuck, or slip off in the ditch possibly harming their children. Rural business matters as much as any other going concern. There are people in our district that operate businesses from their homes, providing goods and services to others, and in turn providing for their families. Their patrons must be able to get to that location, conduct their business, and get back home. The farmers and ranchers have to be able to get to their cattle and elds. They have to be able to get their livestock and crops to market. If the roads are not kept repaired and in good condition, the economy and the people in our area suffer needlessly. Emergency services are also very important. In a dire situation, such as an illness or re, the volunteer departments are of no use if they cannot get there. Our population, both young and old, should be able to rest assured that if they need help, the help will arrive. People should have the condence of knowing the road to their house will allow any and all emergencies to be taken care of in an efcient and timely manner. Washboards and sideboards are NOT a requirement on a county road. The road should not be lower than the bar ditch with sideboards keeping the water in the road instead of draining it off. Some roads are more challenging than others, but there are ways to improve even the worst areas. As commissioner I will work with the road crews on how to grade and crown the roads, and how to implement the plans I have. I will ask the residents to call and let me know if their road is impassable after a heavy rain or snow so I can inspect the problem area. The roads are going to be my number one priority. Knowing other aspects of the county are also important, I believe that if the roads are taken care of, the other concerns will follow that lead and be dealt with more efciently. Our roads did not get in this condition over night. With hard work, perseverance, and the help of you, the citizens, improvement will be made!!! Paid for by John A. Fuqua, 14179 Co.
