Lynn Says
Here’s a nice idea for a memorial By Lynn L. Martin Several weeks ago, a community presentation about the “Castle on the Hill” and the start of Northwestern Oklahoma State University was presented at Herod Hall. Helen Barrett of our writing staff did a terrific job of telling the story in the Alva Review-Courier. John Barton was instrumental in writing much of that presentation with help from a book by his friend, the late Wayne Lane. One of the nice things to come out of this effort is a series of bronze markers situated around campus detailing the history of each building. These markers have been paid for by various citizens who either are graduates of the university or appreciate the value the university brings to the community. Out of the 20 markers planned, only two are yet unsponsored: those to go at Ament Hall and Fryer Hall. I find it interesting that in the history of Northwestern, those two names were prominent in the stage presentation memorializing the beginnings of the college, and yet their markers are unsponsored. I asked John Barton the what it costs to sponsor a memorial plaque. He said, “For $1,200 you can either dedicate the plaque to someone who has passed on, or sponsor it with your family name,” phrase as “The John Doe family.” The recognition the sponsor chooses will be cast on The Alva Review-Courier / Newsgram is published Wednesday by Martin Broadcasting Corp. 620 Choctaw St. Alva, Oklahoma 73717 Lynn L.

South Barber school board approves $2 mil budget, school improvements ongoing By Yvonne Miller The South Barber Board of Education conducted a variety of business at their August meeting Monday night, from approving the 2014-15 budget to getting a good audit. President Steve Allen presided over the meeting with members present: Dana Roark, Mark Pollock, Mike Anderson, Deb Helfrich and Dooli Rugg. Member Jeff Black was absent. Also seated at the table was Superintendent Brad Morris and Board Clerk Julie Johnson. South Barber 2014-15 Budget Before opening the regular August meeting, the board held a brief budget hearing. No members of the public attended to ask questions about the proposed 2014-15 budget. Superintendent Morris said the budget is based on 235 full-time equivalent (FTE) students, which is the same as last year. With no public comment, the board approved the 2014-15 general operating budget of $2,056,968. The approved supplemental general budget (LOB, local option budget) is $704,367. For 2013-14, USD 255’s general budget was $2,038,812. The supplemental budget last year was $670,424. Morris noted that the school’s millage rate for 2014-15 is around 34, which is down one from last year. Morris and 7-12 Principal Brent Shaffer mentioned with enrollment started but not complete, it appears the high school enrollment will decline this
year – with totals somewhere in the mid-50s to low 60s. Morris apprised the board of a Kansas legislative change regarding state aid/finance. Previously, schools received their general fund tax money in January directly from the county based on valuations. Now the state is taking that money and giving it back to the schools with payments in January and June in the form of state aid. “This makes it appear that the state is putting more money in education. They are not. There is no new money from the state,” Superintendent Morris said. He added that this new method of disbursement eliminates the school having to write a large check to the state as they usually do in June. Superintendent Updates on Improvements and More Morris said both gym floors have been re-waxed and will be ready for the start of fall sports practice, which is Aug. 18. Classes begin Tuesday, Aug. 26. Enrollment started Monday and concludes today. All enrollment is at the grade school as the high school parking lot renovation continues. Morris said the slurry phase concluded Monday. The chip seal process is to begin Wednesday. He said the parking lot should be completely finished in a couple weeks. The football field bleacher replacement project began Saturday. The new press box should be installed Wednesday. Morris said he’s been
assured the stadium will be ready for the first football game, which is the junior high team Sept. 4 and the high school game Sept. 5. Construction of the new walking path from Hardtner Street to the high school is ongoing. The new fence was installed and the sidewalk in front of the tennis courts poured. The path will only have fence on one side of the sidewalk, not both as originally planned. New intercom systems were installed at both school sites. A new fire alarm back-up system was installed at the high school. An additional strobe fire alarm notification was purchased for the band room at a cost of $450. Changes in Personnel and More Business Longtime assistant volleyball coach Daphne Rathgeber received board approval as the head middle school volleyball coach. Morris said new social studies teacher Tim Carey will be her assistant as Carey prefers. Board members accepted the resignation of Jana Dunham as Title I para-professional at the grade school. Natalie Pence of Medicine Lodge was hired as an at-risk para at the grade school. The board approved Angelia Cunningham as a 7-12 at-risk para and also as assistant middle school girls basketball coach. Current bills totaling $1,089,907.85 were approved. Morris said happily, “The grade school (improvements) are now paid off.” Randy Ford of Busby, Ford and Reimer presented USD 255’s annual audit report. He gave a clean audit. He recommended the school keep detailed records of when students are given money to eat when traveling to a school event in case there is ever an IRS audit. Ford said everyone he deals with at USD 255 is “extremely helpful.” A motion approved at the July 14 board meeting was rescinded by the board. This regarded a reorganizational item of approving signature cards for school bank accounts. The board approved the corrected motion. See Barber Page 62

Commissioners approve School board shuffles staff $10 million budget By Lynn L. Martin After auditor Buddy Carroll explained the County Estimate of Needs for 20142015, the Woods County commissioners were satisfied no changes needed to be made and accepted the document as their budget. Of the $10,470,818 budget figure, about $1.4 million is for insurance and benefits for county employees. The general fund tax levy is 10.56 mills, while the total county-wide levy is 16.15 mills. The millage figures do not include the individual school district levies throughout the county. The total valuation of the county is $173,227,129, excluding homestead exemptions. The commissioners approved sale of a 15-foot strip of land to Hopeton State Bank. United Country Realtors’ estimated value of the property was $2,163. Recently, when surveys were being made for an addition to the bank, it was discovered that many years ago a portion of the bank was built on county property. This purchase corrects that problem. The board of commissioners approved a flood plain plan by Chesapeake near County Road 430 at Johnson Road. Commissioner Mike Goucher mentioned that the State Highway Department has erected new signage pointing the way to the Avard Rail Project.

By Lynn L. Martin The Alva Board of Education held a special meeting to rearrange staff to cover all teaching positions in the district before school starts Thursday. To cover the Alva Middle School (AMS) home-ec position, Cherie Hurst was moved from the Cooperative Education Project to AMS Family and Consumer Science. Hurst has worked in the co-operative for 16 years. That permitted Superintendent Steve Parkhurst to accept the late resignation of Heather Gottsch, who wanted to teach in Cherokee, where she resides. To fill Hurst’s position at the Cooperative Education Project, Keli Killman was transferred from Washington School to fill that job. The number of pre-K students has increased to 84, and that will require a third pre-K class to be created at Washington School. Danae Hagelberg will take on that class. The other two pre-K classes will be at Longfellow School. Sherrye Lovelace, who has previously taught in the Alva school system, will replace Hagelberg as a firstgrade teacher at Washington School. Traci Schwerdtfeger will replace Keli Killman in a special ed position. Schwerdtfeger has previously taught in Alva, Kingfisher and the cooperative education project. Ryne Wilson will serve as a longterm substitute in sixth-grade social studies at AMS. He has taken his certification tests but those results aren’t in and that’s why he’s in the longterm substitute position at the present time.

Kiowa Hospital board plans to sell old facility, endorses tax budget option Tax budget hearing Thursday at 8 a.m. By Yvonne Miller The Kiowa Hospital Board of Directors held a special meeting in late July. Board President Zack Odell presided over the meeting with members present including Lori Schrock, Chantae Simpson, Brenna May, and Jim Parker via telephone. Interim Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Steve Davis and Chief Financial Officer Janell Goodno were also present. After reviewing various proposal for the hospital’s tax budget, the board
endorsed option No. 5. This keeps the mill levy the same as last year. A special meeting for the tax budget will be held tomorrow, Aug 14, at 8 a.m. The regular meeting for August was changed from Thursday, Aug. 21, to Aug. 28 at 7 p.m. Following a 10-minute executive session, the board authorized Davis to contact Sam Spicer to sell the old hospital building within 90 days. Davis told the Newsgram the board awaits an appraisal of the building and they do not yet have a buyer. The board authorized disposal of the remaining office equipment and furniture in the old facility. Modifications to the contract of
new physician Dr. Christie Leal were approved. Davis confirmed to the Newsgram that the modifications were primarily with on-call language and default forfeiture parameters. Lehl’s start date remains Feb. 2, 2015. The board approved $7,436 to Merritt Hawkins, the hospital’s CEO search firm, for an electronic marketing campaign, excluding physical mailings and pending the outcome of the CEO phone screening. Odell signed approval of med staff appointments for Dr. Denise FinckRothman, Dr. Isaac Hobbs and Dr. Dan Reimer. The Kiowa Manor’s bad debt report received board approval before the hour long meeting adjourned.

A lifetime on the land Albert E. Williams named Freedom Old Cowhand By Marione Martin From birth, Albert E. Williams was connected to the land. The third son of Willie and Almira Bush Williams, Albert was born May 18, 1928. He can trace his roots through nine generations of farmers and stockmen in the United States since his ancestor immigrated to Pennsylvania from Wales in 1691. After a lifetime of farming and ranching, this year Albert was chosen as the 2014 Freedom Old Cowhand. The public is invited to join him Saturday, Aug. 16, at 11 a.m. at the Cimarron Cowboy Monument in Freedom. He will be the guest of honor at the Old Cowhand’s Reunion and Chuckwagon Feed. The event is held in conjunction with the 77th Annual Freedom Rodeo. Events at the rodeo begin at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday at the rodeo grounds on the north edge of Freedom. Albert chose Clara Carey as his wife in January 1959. She also comes from a long line of farming and ranching ancestors. They celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2009 with family and friends. During his early years in Harper County, Albert attended the Double Star School, a one room school located three miles northwest of Salt Springs. In 1938 the family moved across Buffalo Creek to Woodward County where he continued his education at the Morning Star School south of their home. Before the school day began, he helped his brothers to milk cows and complete other chores. Albert said he ran into trouble in first grade. His older brother Homer set traps to catch wild animals. They would stop and check these on their way to school. One morning they pulled a skunk from

beneath a building where they had set a trap. The skunk retaliated. They continued on to school, but the teacher didn’t appreciate their aroma and sent them home. After graduating from the eighth grade, Albert was able to attend high school at Freedom with his brothers Bill, Homer and Vernon. They drove their father’s car to school, picking up other students along the way and sometimes getting stuck on the dirt roads during bad weather. Albert always helped with chores and working cattle. He was riding horses at an early age. He remembers buying his first brand new saddle at age 14. He worked that summer driving a tractor for Harold McAllister to earn the money. He and his younger brother Vernon rode their horses to the Freedom rodeo while he was in high school. It was an adventurous nine mile ride along the Cimarron River through the canyons and gypsum hills. FFA was an important part of Albert’s life. He was elected president of the Freedom chapter in 1947. In addition, he was a member of the team that won the state FFA judging contest in 1947. After high school, Albert attended auctioneer school in Iowa and soon after earned his real estate license, which he held for 50 years. His auction career spanned many years. After a drought caused him to sell his cattle in the 1950s, Albert went to work as an order buyer for cattle all across Oklahoma. Albert married Clara Carey in 1959. She had three daughters: Darlene, Cynthia and Carolyn. During the next two years, their two sons Robert and Willie were born. Albert purchased a semi and began hauling hay from the flint hills of Kansas to feedlots across Oklahoma and Kansas as well as to farmers and ranchers. After Albert’s father died in 1960, he moved to the farm where he grew up, and he still farms and ranches there today. He also continued his auction business.

Freedom 2014 Old Cowhand Albert E. Williams and his wife Clara both come from a long line of farmers and ranchers. Albert will be honored during the Freedom Rodeo Thursday-Saturday as well as the Old Cowhand’s Reunion and Chuckwagon Feed Saturday at 11 a.m. leased acres. Through the years they added to their property, now owning 2,800 acres and leasing another 2,400. Over the years, their grandchildren have visited the farm to enjoy riding horses, fishing and riding three wheelers. One grandchild, Belo Kellam, came to the farm from Michigan and stayed to attend high school. Albert was a founding member on the board of directors for the Northwest Oklahoma Cattleman’s Association and served for eight years. He helped establish rules and regulations for the new association. He has been a member of the Woodward Moose Lodge for nine years. Twice Albert has been recognized by the Woodward County Bankers organization for his conservation work. Still an active farmer and rancher, Albert raises Angus cattle and participates in the Angus Source program. Much of his current cowherd traces back to the original set of cows purchased in the 1960s. With his heritage and his history involving farming, ranching and auctioneering, Albert Williams has certainly earned the honor of being named a Freedom Old Cowhand.

Stolen tanks returned to company with a bill By Marione Martin After three frac tanks went missing, a suspect is alleged to have attempted to sell them to various companies. When there were no takers, he apparently delivered the tanks back to the owner and presented a bill for finding and delivering them. James Lloyd Benson, 47, of Quinton has been charged with knowingly concealing stolen property, a felony, in Alfalfa County. A warrant has been issued for his arrest. Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) Special Agent Shane Vore investigated the theft of the three tanks, which occurred about Sept. 30, 2013. Roy Bishop and his brother, Gary Bishop, own B&B Gas Well Services out of Stigler. The company has several yards, including one just south of Burlington in Alfalfa County. Benson ran the Burlington yard. According to documents in the case, in July 2013 Benson sent five frac tanks to a location in Logan County for a job. The tanks went to a location operated by Stephens Production Company of Ft. Smith, Ark. The tanks were legally moved to another location close to the original and were allegedly released in September 2013. When B&B arrived “Helping Hands Across Northwest Oklahoma”

to pick up the tanks, there were three missing. Just prior to the tanks being released, Benson quit working for B&B. On Sept. 30, 2013, Gary Bishop reported the tanks missing to the Logan County Sheriff’s Office. A few weeks later, Michael Poage, owner of Poage Trucking, contacted Roy Bishop to tell him Benson was trying to sell the stolen frac tanks. According to the court records, Benson also contacted Berry Maxon of Mudslingers, attempting to sell the tanks and said he would paint them and remove the B&B stickers if Maxon would pay $20,000 each. Benson is also alleged to have contacted Art Montanez, owner of Art’s Trucking of Cherokee. Montanez subcontracted his trucks through Benson while Benson worked for Miracle Trucking as well as B&B. Montanez said Benson offered the tanks for $15,000 each and eventually lowered the price to $25,000 for all three. He said Benson told him the tanks were located north of Crescent. The OSBI also were told Don Pinkerton of Watonga was contacted by Benson in the winter of 2013 about the tanks. Pinkerton said he drove to a location north of Crescent. It was dark and he saw two tanks, both white If you are 18 years old or younger and not living with your parents due to being homeless, runaway, or at risk for one of these conditions please come by or call Northwest Family Services at 580-327-2900.

with ladders on the front. He said there could have been more at the location. According to the court documents, Benson contacted Roy Bishop by phone and told Bishop if he would pay $30,000, Benson would get the tanks back for him. Bishop refused. On March 26, 2014, Benson had two of the stolen frac tanks delivered to the B&B yard in Seiling. On March 27, 2014, Benson had the third stolen tank delivered to the yard in Seiling. Benson presented a bill to Roy Bishop for $22,111.44 and later reduced it to $17,111.44 for finding and delivering the tanks. B&B did not pay the bill. The total estimated value of the tanks was $40,000 each totaling $120,000.

By Leslie Nation CHEROKEE – The Alfalfa County commissioners had a short regular meeting at the county courthouse on Monday morning. The county commissioners had very few items on their agenda after the approval of the minutes from their meeting on Aug. 4. They skipped the initial agenda items to a later one: signing the county contract with the Oklahoma State University Extension Office. The commissioners went back to the first agenda items, and approved the M & O warrants, blanket purchase orders and road crossing permits.
The final two agenda items, which the commissioners approved, were the monthly officer report and a private property access easement at the southeast quarter of section 29, township 29 north, and range 11 west. After noting that there was no unforeseen business, the meeting was adjourned. Road Crossing Permits Alfalfa County’s road crossing revenue is as follows: District No. No. of Total Permits Amount 1 12 $19,250 8 $5,625 2 3 4 $7,625 24 $32,500 Total.

High fives to the Waynoka Rodeo Committee and Chamber of Commerce. The activities during the week were fun and entertaining, providing social interaction and some good natured spirited competition. The rodeo all three nights, and the parade on Saturday were excellent. Congratulations to Kynadi Gaskill and Alanna Noble, Waynoka's new rodeo queen and princess. Good job girls! It is encouraging and refreshing to see the young people in our area set a goal, and put in the hours and hard work it takes to attain that goal. The young people in our communities are our future. They learn from and follow the example of their parents, grandparents, friends and neighbors. I agree with old adage, “It takes a village to raise a child”. As you next county commissioner, I will do the necessary work to assure their future is bright and promising. From the youngest to the oldest, our citizens matter!

What do you think the chances are of this fellow seeing an ad you place on Facebook? Slim to none! There’s a reason why. Many older folks don’t like to mess with computers because they’ve heard too much about identity theft and internet crime. They may be on Facebook, but that’s because they want to communicate with the grand kids. The chance they may have “friended” your specific business is really poor. The newspaper is how you reach the older, more practical generation who have more money to spend than anyone else.

Special Agent Shane Vore investigated the facts and circumstances of the case. Roy Bishop and his brother, Gary Bishop, own B&B Gas Well Services out of Stigler with several yards. One of the yards is located just south of Burlington. During September 2013, Olds was a foreman for the roustabout side of the company. Olds began working for B&B on April 15, 2013. The owners said he appeared to be doing a great job, turning in $30,000 to $60,000 worth of tickets each week. During Olds’ employment, Olds was filling out tickets for tank disposal. Olds advised B&B that the company disposing of the tanks would not take the B&B company credit card so Olds was paying for the disposal fees and reimbursing himself with B&B checks. It was later discovered that Olds had written himself a total of $39,350 worth of checks for fictitious tank disposal fees. According to Chesapeake Security Investigator Richard Eads, Chesapeake never ordered or paid B&B to dispose of any tanks. The charges were completely bogus. Eads also advised there were several tickets from B&B where an employee
of Chesapeake’s signature had been forged on documents showing where fictitious work had been performed by B&B. The work was never done or even ordered to be done. Olds had filled the tickets out and apparently forged the Chesapeake employee’s signature. Gary Bishop discovered the forged signatures and fictitious tickets on April 17, 2014, during a meeting with Chesapeake in Waynoka. Bishop then met with SandRidge in Alva and again discovered $45,694.75 worth of fictitious tickets with forged SandRidge signatures. On April 23, 2014, B&B received a box of invoices totaling $25,340 worth of fraudulent tickets with a forged Chesapeake employee’s signature. Neither Chesapeake nor SandRidge were out any money. Neither company paid any of the fraudulent invoices. B&B paid $36,853.04 in fraudulent employee pay for work that was never done but that Olds had attempted to bill for. A check of criminal records showed Olds was convicted of bogus check, embezzlement, false pretences or bogus check, and embezzlement by bailee in Haskell County. The charges were filed during 2001 and 2002.

counts of embezzlement. A warrant was served on Kitchens and he has posted bond. As of press time, the warrant for Taylor had not been served and was still outstanding. According to court records, on July 30 Cherokee Police Officer Matt Jones went to the United Supermarket on a report of forged checks. He talked to Manager Scott Smith, who provided two checks written to Jeff Taylor and three checks to David Kitchens on B&B Gas Well Service LLC and cashed at the store. Officer Jones watched the playback of the surveillance system and saw the shift manager, Christopher Guffy, cashing checks for David Kitchens. Jones took a report from Guffy who
said he cashed a check to Taylor on July 24. It was made out to Taylor and was for $500. He made a copy of a driver’s license and the check that Taylor wrote. Later in the day he cashed a $500 check for Kitchens that was made out to Kitchens. Jones talked to Keela Bishop at B&B Gas Well Service, who said Taylor had been an employee of the company but quit on May 13, 2014. He had a checkbook so he could pick up parts and pay his rent. When he quit he did not turn in all his equipment. She said he kept the company phone, credit cards and checkbook containing numbers 3968 through 3979. Bishop said Kitchens had never worked for B&B and was not authorized to write checks on B&B. The owner of B&B, Gary Bishop, also told Jones that Taylor quit on May 13 and did not turn in his phone, credit cards and checkbook. Bishop said he canceled the credit cards and cellphone. He said Taylor had written checks on more than one place and wasn’t authorized. The forged checks turned over to Jones from United Supermarket totaled $1,000 to Taylor and $1,550 to Kitchens. The check numbers matched ones the company said Taylor did not return.

WELCOME BACK TO Back-to-School Safety Checklist Transportation Safety
Whether children walk, ride their bicycle or take the bus to school, it is extremely important that they take proper safety precautions. Here are some tips to make sure your child safely travels to school. Walking to school Review your family’s walking safety rules. Walk on the sidewalk, if one is available. When on a street with no sidewalk, walk facing the traffic. Before you cross the street, stop and look all ways to see if cars are coming. Never dart out in front of a parked car. Practice walking to school with your child. Riding a bicycle to school Make sure your child always wears his helmet when leaving the house. Teach your children the rules of the road they need to know to ride their bicycles. Ride on the right side of the road and in a single file. Come to a complete stop before crossing the street. Riding the bus to school Go to the bus stop with your child to teach them the proper way to get on and off the bus. Make sure your children stand six feet away from the curb. If your child and you need to cross the street in front of the bus, walk on the side of the road until you are at least 12 feet ahead of the bus. You always should be able to see the bus driver, and the bus driver always should be able to see you.
School Safety
Many school-related injuries are completely preventable. Follow these steps to ensure your child’s safety at school. Preventing backpack-related injuries Chose a backpack for your child carefully. It should have ergonomically designed features to enhance safety and comfort. Don’t overstuff a backpack; it should weigh no more than 10 to 20 percent of your child’s body weight. For example, a child that weighs 60 pounds should carry a backpack no heavier than 12 pounds. Ask your children to use both straps when wearing their backpack to evenly distribute the weight. Preventing playground-related injuries Encourage your child only to use playgrounds with a soft surface. Avoid playgrounds with concrete, grass and dirt surfaces, as they are too hard. Children under the age of four should not use climbing equipment and watch older children when they’re climbing. Do not let your children use monkey bars. They are unsafe and should not be used by children of any age.

O SCHOOL 2014-2015 Backpack Safety
Warning signs a backpack is too heavy
Backpack safety facts
Change in posture when wearing the backpack
Overloaded backpacks used by children have received a lot of attention from parents, doctors, school administrators and the media in the past several years. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates there are more than 7,300 backpack-related injuries annually treated by hospitals and doctors. Injuries include bruises, sprains and strains to the back and shoulder and fractures.
Struggling when putting on or taking off the backpack Pain when wearing the backpack
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that a child's backpack should weigh no more than 10 to 20 percent of the child's body weight. This figure may vary, however, depending on the child's body strength and fitness.
Tingling or numbness Red marks
Tips for safe backpack use Lighten the load A heavy backpack forces the wearer to bend forward. Choose to carry only those items that are required for the day. Each night remove articles that can be left at home. When organizing the contents of the backpack, distribute the weight evenly. Place the heaviest items on the bottom to keep the weight off of the shoulders and maintain better posture. Wear both straps Use of one strap shifts the weight to one side, causing muscle spasms and lower back pain. This is true even with one-strap backpacks that cross the body. By wearing two shoulder straps, the weight of the backpack is better distributed and it will help a child’s posture.
Wear the backpack over the strongest midback muscles The size of the backpack should match the size of the child. It is also important to pay close attention to the way the backpack is positioned on the back. The backpack should rest evenly in the middle of the back. Shoulder straps should be adjusted to allow the child to put on and take off the backpack without difficulty and allow free movement of the arms. Make sure that the straps are not too loose and that the backpack does not extend below the low back. Use proper lifting techniques Bend at the knees and use your legs to lift the backpack, placing one shoulder strap on at a time.
Tips for selecting a backpack Choose ergonomically designed features that enhance safety and comfort. A padded back reduces pressure on the back, shoulders and under arm regions, and enhance comfort. Hip and chest belts transfer some of the backpack weight from the back and shoulders to the hips and torso. Multiple compartments better distribute the weight in the backpack, keep items secure, and ease access to the contents. Look for compression straps on the sides or bottom of the backpack. Tighten side straps to stabilize the articles and compress the contents so that the items are as close to the back as possible. Reflective material enhances visibility of the child to drivers at night.

Sierra Club questions loss of ozone monitorÂ
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — The Sierra Club in Kansas has accused state health officials and Kansas State University of unplugging an ozone pollution monitoring site near Manhattan to prevent data collection that might support federal limits on Flint Hill grassland burns. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment denied the accusation, saying the device 10 miles from Manhattan was unplugged because the equipment was more suitable for evaluating pollution near population centers. University officials did not respond to a request for comment, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported (http://bit.ly/1pMcPdS ). The air-quality equipment on the Konza Prairie was taken offline April 5, 2013, more than a decade after it began collecting ozone information on the Konza Prairie, which is managed by Kansas
State. Craig Volland, chairman of the Sierra Club's air-quality section in Kansas, said Monday that his group's investigation of the shutdown led to state and federal government documents suggesting that the Nature Conservancy, which owns land where the monitor is located, was pressured to secure Environmental Protection Agency authorization to disable the station. "Nobody distinguished themselves during this episode," Volland said. "Despite considerable data demonstrating that people in the Manhattan area are at times exposed to dangerous levels of air pollution during the April-September ozone season, few participants in the controversy examined this part of the issue." The public was never notified of the shutdown. The closest of Kansas' nine
other ozone monitors is in Topeka. Ranchers burn grass on the 82,000-square-mile Flint Hills every April to promote growth of grass for grazing cattle. The resulting smoke can push ozone levels above national standards in downwind areas of Wichita and Kansas City, Kansas, and sometimes drifts into Nebraska and Missouri. The Konza Prairie unit detected high ozone levels during burns in 2009, 2010 and 2011. KDHE spokeswoman Sara Belfry said the Konza Prairie equipment was intended for evaluating pollution in population centers. Manhattan is the state's eighth-largest city by population with more than 50,000 residents. "Our contention is if you're going to put ozone monitors anyplace it should be around people," said Belfry, who did not explain why Manhattan was not considered a population center.
Storm forecasters adding extra layers to warnings By Kelly P. Kissel The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center said Monday it will add two threat levels to its weather outlooks so people aren't surprised by really bad storms on days with just a "slight risk" of tornadoes, hail or high winds. Beginning Oct. 22, forecasters can say whether slight risk days are "enhanced" or "marginal" or just plain "slight." Other categories remain, including "high" and "moderate." The Norman, Oklahoma-based center traditionally targeted local forecasters and broadcasters across the U.S. with their advisories, known as "convective outlooks," but the Internet makes that data available to anyone with a computer and basic scientific knowledge. "We serve a very diverse group," said Greg Carbin, the center's warning coordination meteorologist. "We have a hybrid audience of highly sophisticated decision-makers," ranging from "expert users of weather information" to "the
head of the household in those parts of the country that are often targeted by severe weather." The Storm Prediction Center for years classified the risk as high, moderate or slight, "and you can have killer storms in a slight risk," Carbin said. The system now mimics scales for tornado damage, hurricane strength and the former Homeland Security terrorist threat sale. "It gets us to five categories. Now we have a scheme where we can rank something 1-5," Carbin said. A public comment period drew 700 responses, mostly from individuals, government officials and the media. Around two-thirds said they used the outlooks at least once daily, and 87 percent of them said they liked the idea. Some, however, said extra colors made the map confusing. Carbin said television broadcasters didn't like the term "slight risk," fearing viewers often interpret that as "no risk." He said they were free to develop their
own terms. "I don't care if you use 'slight' or 'a 2-out-of-5 chance,' as long as the general understanding of risk is conveyed," he said.

Marvel heroes and villains fight it out — live By Mark Kennedy NEW YORK (AP) — Marvel Entertainment, which muscled into pop culture with comic books, TV cartoons and movies, is gambling on attracting new fans as it tackles 3-D — but forget the silly glasses. A new live arena show called "Marvel Universe Live!" — a first for the comic franchise — has begun an 85-city tour over the next two years, flooding stages with a dizzying array of actors and upping the technological ante for theatrical events. "We pushed ourselves so much on this project to do things that have never been done before," said producer Juliette Feld, who is a Feld Entertainment executive vice president. "This show is actually more like an action movie than anything else." Captain America, Thor, The Hulk, Black Widow, Wolverine, Nick Fury, Spider-Man, Storm, Green Goblin and Red Skull are among the heroes and villains that constantly battle during the two-hour show. The show leverages many of the elements that Feld Entertainment has pioneered, including its motocross show Nuclear Cowboyz and monster truck spectacular Monster Jam, and even Disney on Ice and Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus. There's projection mapping, LED screens, aerial stunts, massive set pieces that emerge from the ceiling, motorcycle stunts, pyrotechnics, real fire, martial arts, smoke and lasers. "We're performing movie stunts in a
live setting," said J. Vaught, Feld's vice president of ice and stage operations and creative development. "It's not CGI. Gravity's real. Solid objects are really solid." The show, which fills 25 cargo trucks, begins a five-day stand Wednesday at Brooklyn's Barclays Center and then moves to Uniondale, New York; Washington, D.C., Virginia; South Carolina; Alabama; North Carolina; Kentucky; Florida; Tennessee; and Georgia. Next year, it's due to hit Indiana, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, California, Nevada, Washington, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Hampshire and New Jersey. In 2016, it's set to visit Missouri, Oklahoma again, Colorado and Utah. Feld spent two years making the show, twice its typical research and development time. But none of the previous spectaculars had 11 motorcycles, 53 performers, 25 projectors, 10-foot falls, car crashes that end in flames and 37 cameras beaming video content. "We've put in probably the largest and most sophisticated touring video system ever conceived, and then we've added a lot of tricks on top of that to really leverage that technology," said Vaught. One jaw-dropping effect is the use of 3-D projection mapping, also known as video mapping technology, which turns objects into display surfaces for video projection. Video content will also be sent to tiny beacons embedded in performers' costumes to ensure that special effects like laser blasts stay smooth. "After all, Iron Man does not miss," ex-
plained Vaught. The tech team will beam images across the arena's back wall — 110 feet across and 36 feet tall — and the floor, which is 70 feet wide by 140 feet long. A gigantic, 26-foot cylinder drops down for more storytelling, including a spiral motorcycle chase between Captain America and Red Skull. The man picked to carry Captain America's shield is Phil Smage, of Elkhorn, Wisconsin, someone as comfortable on snow as he is in the motorcycle saddle. He grew up an X-Man fan, competed at Winter X Games and was touring with Nuclear Cowboyz when he learned about the new arena show. "It was really a perfect fit because I had already known about everything in the show and then when I heard they were going to incorporate motorcycle riding into it, it was meant to be," he said. The show's fate hinged on The Hulk, who has been a hero of comics, a TV show and several movies but never a live-action show. Feld said he had to be massive yet agile — and 8-foot-5. "We start with the really tough stuff and then we go from there." The end result: a halfman, half-robot powered by a pair of car batteries. "What we've created is a mix of an incredibly athletic, acrobatic performer on stilts who is also working with a very sophisticated robotic system to manage the arms, the hands, and then we have someone manipulating his face so he can express a wide array of emotions and expressions," she said. "It's really amazing."
Tornado Siren Tes�ng will take place on the 1st Wednesday of the month throughout the remainder of tornado season.

Official: Robin Williams hanged himself with belt By Paul Elias SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (AP) — Authorities on Tuesday detailed how Robin Williams' took his life, saying the actor and comedian hanged himself with a belt in a bedroom of his San Francisco Bay Area home. Marin County Sheriff's Lt. Keith Boyd said Williams was last seen alive by his wife Sunday night when she went to bed. She woke up the next morning and left, thinking he was still asleep elsewhere in the home. Shortly after that, Williams' personal assistant came to the Tiburon home and became concerned when Williams failed to respond to knocks at a door. The assistant found the 63-year-old actor clothed and dead in a bedroom. Boyd said all evidence indicates Williams, star of "Good Will Hunting," ''Mrs. Doubtfire," ''Good Morning, Vietnam" and dozens of other films, committed suicide by hanging himself. But he said a final ruling will be made once toxicology reports and interviews with witnesses are complete. The condition of the body indicated Williams had been dead for at least a few hours, Boyd said. Williams also had superficial cuts on his wrist, and a pocketknife was found nearby.
Williams had been seeking treatment for depression, Boyd said. He would not say whether the actor left a suicide note. "We still have people we want to speak with so there is some information we're going to withhold," Boyd said. "We're not discussing the note or a note at this point as the investigation is ongoing." It was no secret that the Oscar-winning actor for years had dealt with periodic bouts of substance abuse and depression — he made reference to it in his comedy routines. Just last month, Williams announced he was returning to a 12-step treatment program. When he sought treatment in 2006 after a relapse that followed 20 years of sobriety, he joked about falling off the wagon: "I went to rehab in wine country to keep my options open." Likewise, when word spread about his struggles with drugs in the early 1980s, Williams responded with a joke that for a time became a catchphrase for his generation's recreational drug use: "Cocaine is God's way of telling you you are making too much money." Word that the actor had killed himself left neighbors in Tiburon equally stunned and grief-stricken. Williams
had lived in the quiet, waterfront neighborhood for eight years, according to neighbors. Noreen Nieder said Williams was a friendly neighbor who always said hello and engaged in small talk. Nieder said she wasn't close to Williams and his family, but she still felt comfortable enough to approach him and ask him about his latest stint in drug and alcohol rehabilitation. "He was very open about it," Nieder said. "He told me he was doing well." Makeshift memorials of flowers and notes popped up around the country including on his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, at his Tiburon home and outside the house where the '80s sitcom "Mork &Mindy" was set in Boulder, Colorado. People also gathered to remember Williams at a bench in Boston's Public Garden where he filmed a scene for "Good Will Hunting." Ben Affleck, a co-star and co-writer on that movie, was among the legions of friends and fans who shared tributes online. "Robin had a ton of love & did so much for so many," Affleck tweeted. "He made Matt & my dreams come true. What do you owe a guy who does that? Everything."
Hospital drops lawsuit against county officials CORDELL, Okla. (AP) — A hospital has dropped its lawsuit against an Oklahoma county commission over a half-cent sales tax that voters defeated earlier this year. Cordell Memorial Hospital filed
a lawsuit against the Washita County Commission in June, after county officials said the petition used to put the tax proposal on the ballot was flawed and told residents that their votes on the issue wouldn't be counted, The Oklahoman reported (http://bit.ly/1vCoGRt ). A judge issued a temporary restraining order requiring the county to let voters know the measure was still valid and their votes still counted. On June 24, residents voted to end the county tax that had generated revenue for the county's only hospital for 10 years. Last year, it
provided $1 million. The lawsuit was dismissed last week, according to court records. Charlie Greene, a former hospital administrator who is retiring, said the hospital's board of directors decided to find other ways to operate. Greene said the new hospital administrator has ideas on how the hospital can work without the tax, saying it can dip into its cash reserves and ask for a city sales tax allocation. The county tax will expire in September.

Rebuilt Moore school brings changes, reminders By Kristi Eaton MOORE, Okla. (AP) — Students heading back to class next week at the rebuilt Plaza Towers Elementary in Oklahoma will see new fixtures as well as reminders of the resiliency the school and community showed after a tornado killed seven students last year. Plaza Towers was destroyed by the EF5 tornado on May 20, 2013 in Moore. Officials from the elementary school and Moore Public Schools led a media tour of the new building Tuesday. The price tag of the school was about $12 million, which insurance covered. "I don't want to be ... a district that is remembered by May 20th," said Michelle McNear, assistant superintendent for elementary education and instruction for Moore Public Schools. "We want to be
remembered as a district and a community as how we worked through it and the way we handled things." A memorial dedicated to the seven students who were killed is expected to be completed in the fall. It will include silhouettes of seven children with personal touches such as a soccer ball to represent each child killed. The silhouettes will not have names, but the families will know which one represents their child based on the personal touches, McNear said. Seven benches outside the school also will represent the children. Moore Public Schools Superintendent Robert Romines said the memorial "is very symbolic to the students we lost." The new brick building includes a designated Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency-approved safe area with four classrooms and a hallway where students can congregate when there's severe weather. The classrooms are equipped with bathrooms, and the hallway has no windows — setups designed to prevent storm debris from flying and injuring students. The old Plaza Towers did not have a safe room. Students also will be welcomed by a large brick wall with a panther on it. Officials were able to salvage the panther wall from the old Plaza Towers and install it into the new building. Principal Patrick Chase said students chose the name "Paws" for the panther. "It's probably my favorite feature of the building," Chase said. The first day of school is Aug. 19.
Judge rules Claremore met open records request CLAREMORE, Okla. (AP) — A central Oklahoma city did not violate an open records law in a case about attorney fees, a judge ruled. A Venita law firm sued Claremore in 2011, arguing the city violated Oklahoma's Records Act in refusing to give requested dashboard camera
video from the arrest of a man charged with driving under the influence, The Tulsa World reported (http://bit.ly/ Y0YgKm ). The man pleaded guilty to a reduced DUI charge in August 2011. The firm ultimately won the case about police surveillance footage, but
sued the city again, claiming Claremore officials did not meet a different open records request about how much it paid to defend itself. Attorney Josh Lee, of the law firm now known as Ward Lee & Coats, said he filed the second lawsuit because he wanted to know how much money the city "wasted" to keep the police footage hidden. He and another lawyer made open records requests to Claremore in January and February. Claremore city attorney Matt Ballard testified he called Lee for clarification about the request. He delivered the documents after a March hearing. Associate District Judge Sheila Condren wrote Friday that Claremore "did provide prompt, reasonable access to its records" in response to the firm's request about attorney fees. Condren said, "at most, the court finds there may have been a miscommunication or misunderstanding about the production of the documents." Condren ruled in July that Claremore owed the law firm more than $41,000 in the dashboard footage case.

Burlington FFA officers bring new ideas to retreat In preparation for the 2014-2015 school year, the Burlington FFA officer team recently conducted a chapter officer retreat in Amarillo, Texas. Officers began planning for the retreat weeks in advance when they were asked to develop new activities for the chapter to have in the upcoming school year. The goal of the retreat was to bring these new ideas together and develop a successful activities program for the Burlington FFA chapter. All eight chapter officers, along with advisor Travis Bradshaw and chaperones Vanessa Garvie and Jenny Stewart, started out the three-day adventure with team building activities to help officers discover their various roles within the team. After the team building session, officers headed to the Palo Duro Canyon for a chuck wagon BBQ dinner and fireworks show at the production of “Texas.” Officers awoke early on the second day to beat the heat ona morning of zip lining in the Palo Duro Canyon. While some officers were a bit scared of heights, their teammates cheered them along and everyone completed the zip line challenge course. The afternoon was spent planning the officers’ new ideas and fitting them into an already busy school calendar. Officers then made a trip to view the famous Cadillac Ranch. The evening concluded with a meal at the Big Texan Steakhouse
and a final team session about goal setting. On the final morning of the retreat, officers selected their top five goals for the Burlington FFA chapter in the upcoming year, and identified ways to make sure these goals became realities. Officers then made a visit to the Timber Creek Veterinary Hospital for a workshop with the owner, Dr. Gregg Veneklasen.
Veneklasen is a world-renowned equine veterinarian and showed the officers the many services he offers to his equine clients. The Burlington FFA officer team returned from the retreat motivated and empowered with the tools need to carry out another great year for the Burlington FFA chapter.

Barber The directory information policy for the school was approved. Morris said this is a FERPA issue regarding privacy. Morris reported that the grade school received word they were placed “On Watch” for the 2014-15 school year by the Kansas Department of Education. This happened after a review of state assessment test results in which a few scores declined. This three-year process by the state requires student scores to increase, not stay the same. Morris said the pre-K-sixth-grade has met all the requirements and are making sure they get “off watch” “is an extremely high priority in that building.” Principal Marcia Cantrell said they are working diligently to correct any problems. She listed numerous summer trainings grade school teachers attended as an example of working to correct the problem. She said veteran teacher Jane Thompson is an “expert” in math and will help in other classes as needed. Cantrell reminded that the pre-K screening is Sept. 5. Students must be screened for admission to this fouryear-old program. Changes in Val/Sal Criteria and Handbook Approved Principal Shaffer presented and received approval for new criteria for valedictorian and salutatorian of the senior class. The changes were discussed last month. Grades for val/sal will be figured after the third nine weeks of the senior year. Grades for office or library aide, driver’s ed and reading will not be figured into the grade point average. Ties will be broken with a plus or minus. Beginning with the 2015-16 year, if there are multiple valedictorians, there will be no salutatorian. To qualify for val/sal, the student must have completed the Kansas Regents Qualified Admissions Curriculum. The student must have been enrolled at South Barber High School all four semesters of their junior and senior years. Changes to the junior/senior high school and grade school handbooks were approved with changes as discussed. Junior high students are required to carry their “agendas.” High school students will not carry agendas, Shaffer said.
