Oklahoma City -- It’s almost time for the long Fourth of July weekend and many people will spend part of their holiday at a backyard or community pool.

The American Red Cross in Oklahoma is issuing 10 steps people should take to be safe while poolside.

A recent Red Cross survey found that eight out of 10 Americans are planning water activities such as going to the beach, pool, water park, or boating or fishing this summer. A third (32 percent) of all Americans plan to swim at a place without a lifeguard. The Red Cross has launched an anti-drowning campaign this summer that promotes swim lessons and safe swimming.

“The Red Cross wants everyone to have fun this Fourth of July weekend, and we have 10 ways people can stay safe while enjoying the water,” said Ken

Garcia, regional spokesman, American Red Cross of Central and Western Oklahoma.

1. Learn to swim and only swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards.

2. Always swim with a buddy; do not allow anyone to swim alone.

3. Have young children or inexperienced swimmers wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets around water, but do not rely on life jackets alone.

4. Provide close and constant attention to children and inexperienced swimmers you are supervising in or near the water.

Avoid distractions while supervising.

5. Limit the amount of direct sunlight received between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a protection factor of at least 15. Reapply

often.

6. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water regularly, even if not thirsty. Avoid drinks with alcohol or caffeine.

7. For a backyard pool, have appropriate equipment, such as reaching or throwing equipment, a cell phone, life jackets and a first aid kit.

8. Secure the backyard pool with appropriate barriers including four-sided fencing.

9. Know how and when to call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number.

10. Never leave a young child unattended near water, and do not trust a child’s life to another child. Teach children to always ask permission to go near water. If a child is missing, check the water first.

Once the commissioners had conducted all regular business, they heard from Matt Morse – resident of Jet and Alfalfa County – about the appointment of the new sheriff of the Alfalfa Coun-

ty. Morse strongly recommended Rick Wallace be named the new sheriff at the commissioners’ special meeting. He pointed to Wallace’s experience and the respect that he has earned from his peers.

“The man is a mature and experienced lawman with an excellent career-long reputation that has depth and quality to it, and the well-earned wisdom while acquiring experience,” Morse said.

The appointment for the replacement of the Alfalfa County sheriff upon the retirment of Sheriff Charles Tucker will be discussed Tuesday, July 1, at 10 a.m.

Road crossing revenues are as follows: Dist. # How Many Amount 1 11 $6,750.00 2 6 $3,750.00 3 2 $1,000.00 Total All Dist. 19 $11,500.00

Support personnel raises, additional secretary hired, Burlington School finances in good shape

By Yvonne Miller Discussing Burlington School finances and comparing several previous years, Superintendent Glen Elliott said, “We’re better than ever.”

That is due to gross production revenue from oil and gas within the school district. Elliott said that through the end of May the school district received $711,000 in gross production money and they still have June’s revenue to collect.

For the same time period (the end of May) last year, the school district collected $333,000.

“Fifteen years ago, we thought $25,000 was good (for gross production),” Elliott said.

With the increased gross production revenue, Elliott said the school district loses state aid money, but it’s a welcome trade. “Because we have more money, we’ve spent more than ever while we can,” the superintendent said of needed updates, repairs and construction.

Even with all the spending, Superintendent Elliott said Burlington School is able to carry over $1,052,000 this year.

This was at the regular June meeting of the Burlington Board of Education last week.

Members present were Terry Graham, Beth Guffy, Allison Armbruster and Aaron Smith. Roger Allen arrived late. Others present were Superintendent Elliott, Principal Shane Feely and Minutes Clerk Linda Gordon.

Following a nearly one-hour executive session, the board took several actions. One of those was approval of

adjustments and raises for support personnel. Board members expressed their appreciation for the good job support personnel does. Elliott said those increases were individually adjusted.

Elliott said as government regulations increase so does the paperwork and tasks of the school secretary. “It now takes five pieces of paper for every one or two pieces you used to have,” the superintendent said.

The board approved hiring Tamre Bohn as secretary. This is in addition to secretary Linda Gordon. Both women are employed full-time, the superintendent confirmed.

Following a discussion in executive session about giving employees stipends from the general fund, the board wanted to look at more options and details, so tabled the issue.

Building Projects Update Elliott updated the board on progress of the ongoing building projects.

In the gym, the new lights are installed and the windows are about 80 percent complete. The new gym flooring is down, but has to be left open (unstained and unsealed) for a while to allow for any expansion or shrinkage. Elliott said some of the old, original basketball court was salvaged. Purple Pride is looking at ways to use the floor as memorabilia/fundraisers, etc.

Other construction project updates include: the floor tile in the kitchen and cafeteria is almost finished; the cement roof is done on the band-safe room; the red iron (the frame/skeleton) is up on the

ag room.

The teacherage is bricked and has all the doors installed excluding the garage doors. The inside is all sheetrocked.

Other Burlington School Board Business The board discussed and approved the proposed acceptable use policy (AUP) and laptop take-home agreement.

Policies that other schools have used for this technology were considered and adapted to Burlington’s needs to draft this proposal.

The one student to one laptop or tablet policy would be implemented one grade at a time from seniors through sophomores. The student would have the same computer to use every year and then take the computer with them when they graduated. In order for this technology to be used to its full potential, ongoing training would need to be provided to instructors.

Students would not be required to have Internet availability at home in order to complete assignments. Off campus filtering would be the responsibility of the parent(s). The fee schedule, prohibited activities and reasons for loss of privileges are explained in the proposed policy.

The copier quote from Dirks Copy Products, Inc. was approved. It was the only quote received for that service at $0.01 per copy After reviewing the changes, budget revisions for 2013-2014 were approved.

The Burlington Schools Minimum Teacher Salary Schedule for 2014-15 was approved.

The board reviewed the encumbrances, change orders and warrants as follows: General Fund Encumbrances 387407 – $141,661.79; Change Orders: $ -54,723.32; Warrants 1156-1246: $51,489.13 Building Fund Encumbrances: none; Change Orders: $-8,170.64; Warrants 16: $237.98 Child Nutrition Fund Encumbrances 26-27: $6,500; Change Orders: $-11,050.62; Warrants 100-107: $7,941.64 Bond Fund Encumbrances 5-7: $292,528.80; Change Orders: none; WarSee Burlington Page 54

Lynn Says

Wylodean Linder tells how an election recount works

By Lynn L. Martin One of the candidates for district judge, Jeremy Bays, asked for a recount in the five counties included in the 4th judicial district. He had to fork over $3,900 to start the process. $300 of that goes to the State Election Board.

In a news release, Bays explained that 9,221 votes were accepted with 22 provisional ballots pending. He said that he needed 24 votes more to nudge the election into a November run-off. He said that is .0026 percent of the total ballots cast.

The winning candidate needs to have over 50 percent of the vote in a threeway race, and Eilers had 50.3 percent. If Eilers ends up with less than 50 percent after the recount, then the two men will

be on the ballot in November.

The recount will occur in the courtroom of each county. The law specifies that three people do the recounting: one Democrat, one Republican and a “stacker,” who replaces the ballots in a filing box.

Also, the district judge must be present to call the meeting to order.

The sheriff must be present in order to protect the security of the ballots and a district attorney. Wylodean said the DA represents the election board.

She said Hollis Thorpe recused himself from the recount and Steven Young from Grant County will serve as the DA. In addition, the election board is to be present and in Woods County that is Doyle Wardrop and John Jones. However, Jones cannot be present so an alternate, Donna Benson, will attend.

The candidate is allowed one “watcher.” If there are any ballots he/she challenges, the challenge must be made in

writing and attached to the ballot.

Election board secretary Linder said in her 25 years in the position, this is the first recount asked.

Before her, Pat Hackett serving as election board secretary and had an election with a tie for a school board seat. The two candidates agreed to settle the issue with the flip of a coin rather than ask for a recount.

Before Hackett, Jim Holder was the election board secretary. He said there was one recount during his time. It was a DA race when Tom Gruber ran for DA. The Major County recount started on Tuesday at 11 a.m. The Dewey County recount started on Tuesday at 1 p.m. The Woodward County recount will start on Wednesday at 9:30 a.m.

The Alfalfa County recount will begin Wednesday at 9 a.m., and the Woods County recount will begin Thursday at 2 p.m.

Webster’s fireworks display in Kiowa remains by his residence

By Yvonne Miller For many years now, Kiowa city employee Shon Webster and his wife Callista, other family and friends have put on a fireworks display that attracts more and more spectators each Fourth of July.

Webster has always put on the show

in the spacious yard on the east side of his residence located at 600 Rumsey St. in Kiowa. Across the street, the Congregational church parking lot and lawn always fills with spectators, which is fine with the church members.

The aerial fireworks can be seen from around Kiowa. It brings so much

enjoyment to the community that many people donate to Webster.

Last month at the Kiowa City Council meeting, Webster requested to move the ever-growing fireworks display to the city-owned Ellis Field, the school’s former football field on the south end of Kiowa where soccer is now played as it has for numerous years.

The council agreed Webster would have to purchase his own special events insurance as the city’s insurance would not cover the Fourth of July event. The cost was estimated at about $500, but Webster said it turned out to be costprohibitive at closer to $1,100.

So, Webster’s fireworks display will remain at his residence. All are welcome to enjoy this colorful celebration of America’s freedom.

Stabbing victim medi-flighted Three charged in fight outside Cherokee bar

By Marione Martin A fight outside a Cherokee bar early Sunday, June 22, sent two men to the hospital. All three men involved are facing felony charges in Alfalfa County, and one is being held for immigration.

According to court records in the case, about 3 a.m. on June 22 Cherokee Police Officer Christopher Horstman was at his residence when he was notified of a possible stabbing in front of BY-Z Bar and Grill. When he arrived, Horstman saw two men and one woman on the north side of the bar. The two men, Brandon Fowler and Shawn Cockrell, were bleeding.

Fowler had a large gash on his side and was bleeding profusely. Cockrell had a gash on the right side near his clavicle (collarbone) region. Horstman immediately confirmed that EMS was on the way to the scene.

Cherokee Police Chief Mike Andrews arrived shortly after Horstman.

The men told the officers a white man standing north of the bar was “acting strange.” They said this individual smashed a bottle and attacked, causing the wounds to them. They said the man ran south down Oklahoma Avenue.

Horstman returned to his vehicle and began searching for the man.

While searching, Horstman arrived at the bunkhouses on West Main where there were people standing outside. He approached and talked to a man, asking if he had seen anything. He said “the

word around town” is two individuals jumped on one man, and the one man defended himself. Asked if he had seen the incident, he told Horstman he might have, but he wasn’t a snitch. Horstman told him if he was withholding any information concerning a stabbing, he could face charges.

Horstman contacted Chief Andrews who soon arrived at the bunkhouses.

They spoke further with the man, identified as Paul Jenkins, who said the man’s name was Vasquez. Jenkins said he assisted in breaking up the fight.

He also said the other two men in the fight work with Vazquez. Away from the others, Jenkins said Vazquez had difficulty speaking English and might have gang affiliations.

The officers went back to the front of BY-Z’s and spoke to three women.

One had been with the two injured men when Horstman first arrived.

Horstman then went to Share Medical Center in Alva to talk with Fowler and Cockrell. He called ahead and was told that Fowler was being taken by helicopter to Oklahoma City for medical attention. He arrived as the helicopter left.

Horstman talked with Cockrell while he was receiving stitches for his shoulder wound. Cockrell said he and Vazquez had a verbal argument. He was pulled away by a woman around the corner. He said he returned to the west side of BY-Z’s and saw Vazquez running back toward the bunkhouses.

At that time he heard Fowler yelling about his side. Cockrell said he charged Vazquez at the intersection of Main and Oklahoma. Cockrell said Jenkins broke up the fight.

Horstman received a phone call telling him Vazquez had turned himself in. He was also told Vazquez had multiple marks and lesions on his body consistent with being in a fight.

According to Vazquez, he was attacked

by Cockrell with a broken bottle and received a cut on his shoulder. During the attack, Vazquez said, he was able to take the bottle from Cockrell and inflicted the wounds on Cockrell and Fowler. Horstman placed Cockrell under arrest and took him to the Alfalfa County Jail.

Juan Artoro Vazquez gave the officers his information and said he was in the U.S. on a work visa that he lost during the incident.

On June 23, the Department of Homeland Security sent an immigration detainer notice to the Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Office and identified Vazquez as Giovani Yessir Guajardo Ipolito with a birth date of May 24, 1981, instead of the Dec. 13, 1973, date of birth he had provided. The sheriff’s office was informed Guajardo has a prior felony, had illegally re-entered the country after a previous removal, and is an alien subject to removal from the United States.

On June 25, the three men were charged with felonies in Alfalfa County.

Juan Artoro Vazquez, 40, of Oklahoma City was charged with two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. Shawn Taylor Cockrell, 21, of Edmond, was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

Brandon Fowler, 27, was charged with aggravated assault and battery.

On June 27, Giovani Yessir Guajardo Ipolito aka Juan Artoro Vazquez, age now determined to be 33, was charged with false personation, a felony.

Red Cross issues top Fourth of July safety steps for travel, grilling and fireworks Oklahoma City -- This Fourth of July weekend, many people will be traveling, firing up the backyard grill or enjoying fireworks, and the American Red Cross in Oklahoma offers a series of steps everyone can follow to safely enjoy the holiday weekend.

“Everyone looks forward to having fun over the Fourth of July, and the Red Cross wants to make sure people know how to stay safe while enjoying the holiday,” said Ken Garcia, regional spokesman for the American Red Cross of Central and Western Oklahoma.

Highway Safety Millions of people will be on the highways over the Fourth of July weekend. The Red Cross offers these five things everyone should do to stay safe while traveling: 1. Buckle seat belts, observe speed limits.

2. Do not drink and drive.

3. Pay full attention to the road – don’t use a cell phone to call or text.

4. Use caution in work zones.

5. Clean the vehicle’s lights and windows to help the driver see, especially at night. Turn the headlights on as dusk approaches, or during inclement weather.

Fireworks Safety The best way to enjoy fireworks is to attend a public fireworks show put on by professionals. Here are five safety steps for people setting fireworks off at home: 1. Never give fireworks to small children, and always follow the instructions on the packaging.

2. Keep a supply of water close by as a precaution.

3. Make sure the person lighting fireworks always wears eye protection.

4. Light only one firework at a time and never attempt to relight a “dud.”

5. Never throw or point a firework

toward people, animals, vehicles, structures or flammable materials.

Grilling Safety Every year people are injured while using charcoal or gas grills. Here are several steps to safely cook up treats for the backyard barbecue: 1. Always supervise a barbecue grill when in use.

2. Never grill indoors – not in the house, camper, tent, or any enclosed area.

3. Make sure everyone, including the pets, stays away from the grill.

4. Keep the grill out in the open, away from the house, the deck, tree branches, or anything that could catch fire.

5. Use the long-handled tools especially made for cooking on the grill to keep the chef safe.

Hardtner’s Fourth of July to explode with first-time musical laser light show after fireworks Parade theme `Hardtner Hometown Heroes;’ traditional daytime games, swim, BBQ at park; Music, dancers and more begin at 8 p.m., before fireworks on Achenbach lawn

By Yvonne Miller Hardtner, Kan., might be a tiny Oklahoma border town, but they again have plans for a huge fireworks display complete with an exciting new addition for their 56th annual celebration of America’s 229th birthday. Besides the traditional daytime games, fun, swimming and free BBQ sandwiches at Achenbach Park, there’s a first-time-ever addition to the already big fireworks display.

Hardtner Chamber of Commerce organizer Syd Sterling said starting at 8 p.m. a unique entertainment will begin with music, dancers and lights by Xcapades of Wichita and Protection, Kan., on the Achenbach lawn. At 10 p.m., Hardtner will explode over $10,000 of fireworks to synchronized music by Xcapades.

Instead of leaving after the always-amazing explosive grand finale, fireworks spectators will want to stay right where they are to see Xcapades’ Laser Light Show Extravaganza scheduled until midnight. Sterling said, “It’s guaranteed to be something you’ve never seen.”

Surprise Parade Marshall, Heroes Honored, Float Prizes $1,000 Hardtner’s Fourth of July parade begins at 10 a.m. Sterling said a surprise parade marshall will be announced at the beginning. This year’s parade theme is Hardtner’s Hometown Heroes. Sterling said prize money for floats is $1,000.

That amount is disbursed according to judges’ discretion. It’s not too late to start making your parade float to recognize your favorite hero – it can be anyone, Sterling noted.

The Little Firecracker winner and contestants will ride in the parade. Their contest begins at 9 a.m. in the American Legion Building on the south end of Main Street. Contact Brenna May for details at 620-825-6332.

The first clue for the popular medallion hunt is given at the end of the parade.

The winner gets $100.

Following the parade, at 11 a.m.

Hardtner’s United Methodist Church

holds their annual church service to honor veterans and celebrate freedom. The guest speaker is Dennis Christensen of Kiowa. Christensen served his country as a member of the U.S. Army in Vietnam.

The remainder of Hardtner’s other fun Chamber of Commerce-sponsored Fourth of July events are: 11 a.m. – sand volleyball tournament in the park (contact Emily Lohmann at 580-829-1130); 1 p.m. – FREE swim at Hardtner’s big swimming pool, compliments of Jake Achenbach (door prizes will be given throughout the afternoon at the pool); 2 p.m – bike races; 3 p.m. – turtle races.

Hardtner’s famous pit BBQ beef sandwiches will be served in the park just south of the pool from 4-6 p.m. Your first sandwich is free; additional sandwiches are $1 each.

The annual White Elephant Auction begins in the park at 5 p.m. Proceeds from the auction help fund Hardtner’s Fourthn of July celebration that offers a full day of free family entertainment. Hardtner needs your help in donating items for the auction from “stuff” to homemade baked goodies. Any remaining pit BBQ – a popular item – is auctioned off at the White Elephant. Call 620-296-4477 to donate items or money.

The town of Hardtner prides itself on the fact that families can have a day of old-fashioned fun at no cost to them.

That’s the way the first celebration began and it continues 56 years later.

Anyone wanting to provide concessions in the park on the Fourth is welcome to do so.

SPACE FOR RENT OR LEASE

Hobby Lobby ruling puts Green family in crosshairs Rachel Zoll, Ap Religion Writer David Green felt like the black sheep of his family. His five other siblings had followed their preacher father into church work; David went into retail.

But as his business successes mounted, he found his religious calling: using the financial might from his Hobby Lobby arts and crafts chain as an engine for evangelism. That mission, until recent years carried out largely within the world of Pentecostal Christianity, took the 72-year-old Green all the way to a landmark victory Monday at the U.S. Supreme Court over the birth control coverage rule in President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.

"I don't think they decided to go into that kind of an area. I think it was forced on them by the government," said Vinson Synan, a friend of the Greens and a prominent scholar of Pentecostal history at Regent University. "They'll be heroes to the very conservative religious people who are very much against abortion."

The justices ruled 5-4 that requiring closely-held companies such as Hobby Lobby to pay for methods of women's contraception to which they object violates the corporations' religious freedom.

It was the first time the high court has

declared that businesses can hold religious views under federal law.

Women's rights groups and their supporters condemned the decision.

But the ruling revitalized religious conservatives who, after a series of defeats over gay marriage, felt they were on the losing side of the culture wars. Russell Moore, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's public policy arm, said after Monday's ruling, "I'm so happy about this I almost want to be dancing in the streets about it."

Before the court case, the Greens were already considered a first family of Pentecostalism because of their largesse and the example they set as Christian business owners. Hobby Lobby, based in Oklahoma City, has about $3 billion in yearly revenues and donates millions of dollars in profits to charity.

The Greens close their stores on Sundays so employees can attend church or be with family, and they pay full-time employees a minimum of $15 per hour.

The family buys full-page newspaper ads each Christmas and Easter to emphasize the religious beliefs behind the holidays and advertise a Christian ministry they support called Need Him. They have spent tens of millions of dollars to buy vacant buildings, land and entire campuses, which they have given away to churches and religious colleges.

Yet the family's profile began rising far beyond Christian circles around 2008, when Mart Green, David's son, spent about $70 million of the family fortune to rescue Oral Roberts University, the Pentecostal school in Oklahoma that was engulfed in a spending scandal and burdened with tens of millions

Fully Insured

of dollars in debt. Mart Green told The Associated Press that year he stepped in because, "if ORU goes down it affects all the Christian colleges."

The Greens drew even more notice for their plans to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to create a Bible museum on land near the National Mall in Washington, which will display the family's massive collection of biblical artifacts, including ancient texts. Steven Green, David's other son and president of Hobby Lobby, is also spearheading the Green Scholars Initiative, which intends to place a Bible-based academic curriculum in the nation's public schools.

Last year, the National Bible Association gave its John M. Templeton Biblical Values Award to Steven Green for putting the family and the company "in the crosshairs of one of the most important debates going on in American society" by suing over the contraceptive coverage rule. "If it weren't for people like Steve and his family, the government would have gotten away with this," said Sean Fieler, chairman of the panel that chose award recipients.

More than a dozen members of the Green family met with Pope Francis earlier this year for about 30 minutes at the Vatican.

Immediately after the Supreme Court ruling, critics began calling for a boycott of the arts and crafts chain. Hobby Lobby has about 600 stores nationwide, but they are largely concentrated in the South and Midwest, where their customers would be more likely to be conservative churchgoers, too.

A spokeswoman said the Green family was not granting interviews.

Friends say they would be surprised to see the Greens channel their newfound public prominence into the political mobilizing of the religious right.

"The Supreme Court case thrust them into a spotlight they really weren't seeking," said Mark DeMoss, who has known and worked with the Greens for several years. "I think if there had been another way, if there was a way you could have written a letter to some arbitration panel and gotten a personal ruling, I think they would have done that."

Freedom rodeo queen kickoff celebration and dinner July 8

Alfalfa County says goodbye to sheriff of 23 years

The Freedom Chamber and Queen Committee are hosting an “old fashioned” Freedom rodeo queen kickoff July 8. The chamber and Queen Committee are supplying the meat and asking all members of the community and attendees to bring covered dishes (salads, beans, desserts or secret family recipe creation.)

Any one interested in bringing a dish or those with any questions may contact Rodger Gagnon (chamber president) at 580-621-3624 (home) or 607-483-0498 (cell), Johnnie Sue Olson at 580-6213210 (home) or 580-216-3949 (cell), Dakota Province at 580-334-0023 or Retha Noble at 580-216-2030.

By Leslie Nation “What do you want to be when you grow up?” This is a question that many are asked as children and the answer is often doctor, firefighter, astronaut, pro-athlete, lawyer, police officer, etc.

After years of being asked the same question, plans are made to finally make that happen, but very few ever stick with their childhood plan of being a pro-baseball player or a firefighter. Charlie Tucker was one of those few.

When called to the principal’s office – Tucker joked he probably spent more time inside the principal’s office than out – the then principal of Fairview High School asked Tucker what he wanted to be. Tucker’s first response wasn’t to be a police officer, but after just a second’s hesitation he said, “You know what, I’m going to go into law enforcement.”

In 1973, Tucker began his career as a reserve deputy in Major County, but after hearing of an opening in the Cherokee Police Department a year later, Tucker went to apply.

Tucker worked in the oil fields at the time, and after his shift ended he went straight to Cherokee to apply, saying that he still had “drilling mud behind his ears.” He didn’t feel that he would get the job, but after only one week of waiting Tucker was informed that the position was his.

Tucker quickly worked up the ranks to assistant police chief and eventually chief of police in 1979. Unfortunately, the police department was missing a couple of things that Tucker wanted.

In 1985, Alfalfa County Sheriff Sam Otis was needing a deputy and Tucker knew that this would allow him to do more investigative work and later offer him a retirement plan.

Starting back at the bottom of the totem pole, Tucker wasted no time working his way up through ranks again, and in 1991 when Otis decided to retire, the Alfalfa County commissioners appointed Tucker as the new sheriff.

Tucker stated that the first year was

the most stressful of his career in law enforcement .

“As far as becoming sheriff, I wasn’t worried about the criminal aspect, but the administrative part of it scared me a little,” Tucker said. “Making some big decisions sometimes about people’s lives, or whether you’re going to have enough money throughout the year to keep the office running.

“I probably could’ve walked out that first year and never came back, but I made it through and 23 years later here I sit,” Tucker said gesturing to his office.

Maybe if Tucker were a different kind of sheriff that first year would have been a breeze, but he believed that wanting to help people comes with the job.

“That’s one reason why I took this job many years ago is that I like to help people,” Tucker said. “I believe that law enforcement is not all about giving tickets and putting people in jail. A sheriff is here to protect and serve the people.”

Tucker has seen many come through the courthouse or jail for the first time and not know how the system works. He sees the importance in sitting those people down and explaining the process to them.

“There have been lots of times I’ve brought inmates down from court, they may have pled guilty and have no idea what they just did,” Tucker said.

Tucker has enjoyed many of the aspects of his job and serving his community. Years later he came across that same principal who asked so many years ago what he wanted to do. That principal has said that Tucker is one of the only students he knew who did exactly what he said he would.

With Tucker’s retirement coming on June 30, he is humbled by the community that he has protected and served for so long.

“I appreciate all the Alfalfa County voters that had so much faith in me and supported me,” Tucker said. “That means a lot to me.”

Couple facing drug, child neglect charges

By Marione Martin Alfalfa County law enforcement executed a search warrant on a residence in Nescatunga on June 26. According to documents on file, officers found the residence had a strong odor of animal feces, and they found animal urine and feces throughout the house. The warrant was executed at 8:19 a.m. at the residence of Shannon Samuels and Eric Samuels at 23969 Paradise Lane in Nescatunga.

Also living with them were Shannon’s daughter, 17, and the couple’s daughter, 7.

Alfalfa County Deputies Blake Trekell and David Gebers were assisted at the scene by Park Ranger Raymond Wilson and an Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) case worker.

Eric Samuels was the only person in the residence. He said his wife and their younger daughter had gone to Enid.

While checking the residence, Trekell saw a light bulb with the end removed

that appeared to be used for smoking methamphetamine. Trekell read Eric Samuels his Miranda rights. Eric said there were no drugs or psaraphernalia in his residence. He eventually admitted there were possibly some baggies of meth in the house, but he didn’t know where they were. When Trekell asked if his wife was bringing any drugs back from Enid, Eric paused a moment and said he didn’t know what she had.

Vehicles were moved out of sight while Ranger Wilson waited for Shannon to return from Enid. About 9:40 p.m. she arrived at the residence with her young daughter. Deputies Trekell and Gebers removed the girl from the vehicle.

Shannon exited the vehicle with a plastic sack, wallet and car keys in her hand.

When Trekell asked if she had any drugs or weapons she said there were drugs in her wallet and a pipe in the purse in her car. Trekell found a small plastic baggie

containing a clear crystal substance in her wallet. Shannon said it was meth.

Trekell read Shannon her Miranda rights and she agreed to talk. She said she got the meth when she went to Enid.

She said her daughter stayed in the car while she got out of the car to get it.

Trekell asked if her daughter had ever seen her use meth. She said her daughter had seen it but never saw her use it. Both Shannon and Eric Samuels were arrested.

Their daughter was taken into emergency custody by DHS. On June 27 in Alfalfa County, Eric Donn Samuels, 32, of Jet was charged with maintaining a place where a controlled dangerous substance is used and with child neglect, both felonies.

Shannon Lyn Samuels, 36, of Jet was charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance, maintaining a place where a controlled dangerous substance is used, and child neglect, all felonies.

air conditioner broke down in the last month, The Lawrence Journal-World reported (http://bit.ly/TzmXut).

Director Diane Johnson said Monday the problems come at as the warehouse is full of baby skunks, ducks, bunnies, songbirds, opossums and raccoons, along with injured animals such as a mangy red fox and a great horned owl with head trauma.

The organization learned about a month ago that its circa-1940s well was collapsing when sand started showing up in the water and the flow decreased,

Johnson said.

"We were running out of water, and we have 400 animals here," Johnson said.

"We can't afford to run out of water."

A contractor agreed to recondition the well on credit. Water lines were flushed out but the washing machine and faucets and valves damaged by sediment had to be replaced.

Then, the air conditioner went out.

Johnson said she is trying to decide whether to repair it or go without this season despite stifling heat in the warehouse.

The organization takes in 4,000 to 5,000 animals a year and releases about 70 percent back into the wild. Animals that can't be rehabilitated are used for public education and outreach. The clinic also provides veterinary services and natural foods for all its creatures.

"What we do is expensive," Johnson said. "We do whatever it takes to get animals back out into the wild."

MIKE STOBBE, AP Medical Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Powerful painkillers have been driving the nation's rising rate of overdose deaths, and now the government is singling out the states where doctors write the most prescriptions.

A second report released Tuesday spotlights how a crackdown in Florida led to hundreds fewer overdose deaths from prescription painkillers in just a few years.

The reports are part of a campaign by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to combat deaths from prescription opioids like Vicodin and OxyContin. In 2011, drug overdose deaths reached 41,000 and 41 percent of them involved prescription painkillers.

The state account comes from a database of U.S. retail pharmacies that fill the bulk of prescriptions.

THE NATIONAL PICTURE:

Southern states had the most prescriptions in 2012. Alabama was in the lead with 143 prescriptions per 100 people, followed closely by Tennessee. The other leading states were — in ranking order — West Virginia, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Louisiana. Doctors in the South have also topped prescription rate lists for other medications, including antibiotics and stimulants for children. Rates of chronic disease tend to be higher in the South, but past research has found that doesn't explain away the difference. Hawaii had the least prescriptions, at 52 per 100 people.

THE IMPACT "Prescriptions go up, deaths go up. Prescriptions go down, deaths go down," said CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden. While that seems logical, evidence of that link is incomplete. The CDC reports state death rates but combines all kinds of drug overdoses, in-

cluding heroin and cocaine. And those rankings differ from the prescription list. But officials cite studies that show higher overdose rates when there are more prescriptions of painkillers and larger doses prescribed.

THE FIX Officials say there's a need for more prescription drug monitoring programs at the state level, and more laws shutting down "pill mills" — doctor offices and clinics that over-prescribe addictive medicines. The CDC points to a success story in Florida, where pill mills became a large problem in the last decade.

In 2010-2011, the state enacted tougher pain clinic regulations and police did a series of raids. By 2012, prescriptions for oxycodone alone fell 24 percent and the death rate for prescription drug overdoses dropped 23 percent. "When you take serious action, you get encouraging results," Frieden said.

The South prescribes more painkillers, CDC says

Justices act in other health law mandate cases

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday confirmed that its decision a day earlier extending religious rights to closely held corporations applies broadly to the contraceptive coverage requirement in the new health care law, not just the handful of methods the justices considered in their ruling.

The justices did not comment in leav-

ing in place lower court rulings in favor of businesses that object to covering all 20 methods of government-approved contraception.

Oklahoma-based Hobby Lobby Inc. and a Pennsylvania furniture maker won their court challenges Monday in which they refused to pay for two emergency

contraceptive pills and two intrauterine devices.

Tuesday's orders apply to companies owned by Catholics who oppose all contraception. Cases involving Colorado-based Hercules Industries Inc., Illinois-based Korte & Luitjohan Contractors Inc. and Indiana-based Grote Industries Inc. were awaiting action pending resolution of the Hobby Lobby case.

They are among roughly 50 lawsuits from profit-seeking corporations that object to the contraceptive coverage requirement in their health plans for employees. Contraception is among a range of preventive services that must be included in the health plans, at no extra cost to workers.

The justices also ordered lower courts that ruled in favor of the Obama administration to reconsider those decisions in light of Monday's 5-4 decision.

Two Michigan-based companies, Autocam Corp. and Eden Foods Inc., both lost their cases in the lower courts.

The justices ordered the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider its decisions against the companies.

Kiowa Hospital Board contracts with new doctor and search firm for administrator/CEO

By Yvonne Miller The Kiowa District Hospital (KDH) board held a special-meeting telephone conference June 24 at 1 p.m. Once called to order, the board entered executive session for nearly 20 minutes.

Board President Zack Odell and Interim Administrator/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Steve Davis were present. Members on the call were Lori

Schrock, Chantae Simpson, Brenna May and Jim Parker.

Upon return to open session, the board approved accepting the letter of intent from Christie Leal, D.O., to join the staff at the Kiowa District Hospital. She will be an employee of the hospital, Davis confirmed.

Davis said Leal is finishing her residency in New York City. The plan is for the new doctor to start practicing

in Kiowa in January 2015. Davis said Leal and her husband are both originally from the Lawton area.

Also after executive session, the board approved a contract with Merritt Hawkins of Irving, Texas, to search for a new hospital administrator/CEO. When asked by the Newsgram, KDH Chief Financial Officer Janell Goodno confirmed the cost of the initial search

by Merritt Hawkins is $12,000.

Driver charged with leaving accident

By Marione Martin A driver was arrested for leaving the scene of an accident on Friday, June 20, in Alfalfa County. Both drivers also received traffic citations.

According to documents in the case, about 5:40 p.m. Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Darin Lancaster was contacted about a two-vehicle accident with one vehicle driving away. Alfalfa County Deputy Sheriff David Gebers had located the vehicle south of Cherokee on U.S. Highway 64 and stopped the truck at the Jiffy

Trip parking area on Ohio Street.

Lancaster arrived to find the driver and Gebers standing behind the truck, a black 2005 Peterbilt semi with B & B on the doors. Lancaster asked the driver, Timothy Ray Kirkland, if he had been involved in a two-vehicle accident and he said yes. He said he and another truck just hit mirrors.

Kirkland said he was traveling westbound on U.S. Highway 64 and the other truck was eastbound. He said they met on a bridge and hit mirrors.

When asked why he didn’t pull over, Kirkland said there wasn’t a good place to pull over. He said he went to Jet and pulled over there.

Lancaster asked what time the accident happened, and he said around 5:30 p.m. Asked why he didn’t call, Kirkland said he didn’t have cell phone service. He said he stopped in Jet around 15 to 20 minutes. Lancaster told him if he stopped in Jet that long, he wouldn’t be this far down the road.

Kirkland said he left the disposal site

by Medford about 10 minutes before

5 p.m.

Deputy Gebers went to the accident scene 3.1 miles east of Jet on U.S. Highway 64 and checked on the other driver. Byron Dean McMickle, 43, of Kansas City, Mo., was injured when fragments of glass cut his arms.

McMickle was driving a 2015 Volvo semi. Trooper Lancaster arrived at the scene about 6:40 p.m. where he observed McMickle had dried blood on his arms and neck. McMickle said he and the other truck hit mirrors on the bridge and the other truck did not stop.

Lancaster issued McMickle a traffic citation for left of center.

Lancaster then met Kirkland at his camper in Cherokee. He questioned him further and placed him under arrest. He then took Kirkland to the Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Office.

Timothy Ray Kirkland, 56, of Quinton, was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, a felony. He also received a traffic citation for left of center.

Tennessee apologizes to Cherokees for Trail of Tears

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Tennessee lawmakers have apologized to the Cherokee Nation for actions taken by President Andrew Jackson that forced up to 16,000 Cherokees off Tennessee lands 175 years ago.

The Tennessee General Assembly passed House Joint Resolution 553 at an event Friday to commemorate the anniversary of the Trail of Tears.

Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin Jr. and Tribal Councilor Jack Baker— who also serves as the National Trail of Tears Association President — attended the event, where leaders of federally recognized tribes were presented with copies of the resolution and allowed to address the audience.

Under the resolution, the Tennessee assembly acknowledged the role played by the state that led to Cherokees’ homes and lands being confiscated before being rounded up and removed to Indian Territory beginning in 1838.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Secretary of State Kris Kobach is criticizing his opponent in the Aug. 5 Republican primary for holding views on social issues that are out of sync with the Kansas GOP's conservative platform.

But GOP challenger Scott Morgan said Tuesday that the criticism shows that

Kobach doesn't care about his office.

Their exchange began Monday, the deadline for Kansas voters to switch parties. Kobach's re-election campaign sent out a tongue-in-cheek statement reminding Morgan of the deadline and suggesting that he'd registered as a Republican by mistake.

Morgan ran unsuccessfully for the state Senate in 2008. In a survey, he expressed support for abortion rights and civil unions for gay couples and opposition to allowing the concealed carrying of guns.

Morgan said such issues are irrelevant in the secretary of state's race.

Kobach says foe’s views don’t fit with Kansas GOP

All the schools in Burlington’s vo-tech area are using Edgenuity as their curriculum. The board approved Edgenuity as the school’s online curriculum for 20142015. Burlington is using it for the third year – one way is online for credit recovery. This works well for Burlington.

Elliott reported on the OSSBA/CCOSA Convention on August 22-24. Giving the annual report to compare telephone and utility expenses to prior years, Elliott said both areas are up, mainly due to increased rates.

The superintendent gave annual inventories of buildings, vehicles and vehicle mileages. Regarding legislation, he said they have some bills marked to watch. For now, attorneys are trying to decipher the language, Elliott said.

During summer maintenance, some classrooms are being painted, all are being cleaned and the Promethian boards are being installed.

Marty Martin Scholarship Marty Martin was a custodian/maintenance man and bus driver for about nine years at Burlington. He passed away in March. His family presented the school with a $300 check and asked that it be given as a scholarship to a deserving student.

Elliott said they hope to make it an annual scholarship. The board discussed the request from Martin’s family. The board expressed their gratitude for the donation and wanted them to know that Marty was truly appreciated and missed.

They wished to encourage the Martin family to consider making the scholarship annually and asked that the family be put in touch with the Burlington Education Foundation to see if the foundation could be of any assistance.

The board approved the administration and counselor making the choice of a worthy recipient for the Marty Martin Scholarship.
