Lynn Says
‘How a password changed my life’ By Lynn L. Martin (This superb article was not written by me. It was sent by my sister, Tara Calhoun of Norman. She said she is trying it. I have cleaned it up a tiny bit.) The following events occurred beand ☺. tween “How could she do something like this to me?” said a voice in my head. All the time. Every day. Back in 2011 – when everything had gradients, iOS icons made sense and people used deodorants – I was stuck in middle of a pretty bad depression due to my divorce. Thankfully, I think I was smart enough (and had great people around me), so I managed my way out. One day I walk into the office, and my day begins at my computer screen. It was all great until I saw this message: Your password has expired. Click ‘change password’ to change your password. “Rats,” I thought, clicking ‘change password.’ I was gonna do something else. I read this dumb message in my mind with angry grandpa voice: The damn password has expired. At my workplace, the Microsoft Exchange server is configured to ask thousands of employees around the planet to change their passwords – very 30 days! Here is the main irritation: the server forces us to use at least one uppercase character, at least one lowercase alphabetic character, at least one symbol and at least one number. Oh, and the whole damn thing can’t be less than eight characters. And I can’t use any of the same passwords I’ve used in the last three months. I was furious that morning: Tuesday, 9:40 am. It was so hot that my torso was already sweaty even though I just got to work. I was late. I was still wearing my helmet. I think I forgot breakfast. Something tastes like cigarette in my mouth. I need to get a ton done before my 10 a.m. meeting and all I have in front of me is a
huge waste of my time. So there it was. This input field with its pulsating cursor waiting for me to type a password that I’ll have to re-enter for the next 30 days. Many times during the day. Then, letting all the frustration go, I remembered a tip I heard from my former boss: I’m gonna use a password to change my life. It was obvious that I couldn’t focus on getting things done with my current lifestyle and mood. Of course, there were clear indicators of what I needed to do – or what I had to achieve – in order to regain control of my life, but we often don’t pay attention to these clues. My password became the indicator. My password reminded me that I shouldn’t let myself be a victim of my recent break up, and that I’m strong enough to do something about it. My password became “Forgive@ h3r.” I had to type this statement several times a day. Each time my computer would lock. Each time, my screen saver with her photo would appear. Each time I would come back from eating lunch alone. In my mind, I went with the mantra that I didn’t type a password. In my mind, I wrote “forgive her” every day for one month. That simple action changed the way I looked at my ex-wife. That constant reminder that I should forgive her led me to accept the way things happened at the end of my marriage, and embrace a new way of dealing with the depression that I was drowning in. In the following days, my mood improved drastically. By the end of the second week, I noticed that this password became less powerful and started to lose its effect. A quick refresh of this ‘mantra’ helped me. I thought to myself “I forgive her” as I typed it, every time. The healing effect of it came back almost immediately. One month later, my dear exchange server asked me again to renew my password. I thought about the next thing I had to get done. My password became Quit@smoking4ever. And guess what happened? I kid you
not: I quit smoking overnight! This password was a painful one to type during that month, but doing it helped me to yell at myself in my mind as I typed that statement. It motivated me to follow my monthly goal. One month later, my password became Save4trip@thailand. Guess where I went three months later. Thailand. With savings. Thank you, password. So, I learned that I can truly change my life if I play it right. I kept doing this month after month, with great results. Here is an extract of what some of my passwords have been in the last two years, so you get an idea of how my life has changed, thanks to this method: • Forgive@her: to my ex-wife, who started it all. • Quit@smoking4ever: it worked. • Save4trip@thailand: it worked. • Eat2times@day: it never worked, still fat. • Sleep@before12: it worked. • Ask@her4date: it worked. I fell in love again. • No@drinking2months: it worked. I feel better. • Get@c4t!: it worked. I have a beautiful cat. • Facetime2mom@sunday: it worked. I talk with my mom every week. And the one for last month: Save4@ ring: Yep. Life is gonna change again soon. I still await each month very anxiously so I can change my password into something that I need to get done. This method has consistently worked for me for the last two years, and I have shared it with a few close friends and relatives. I didn’t think it was a breakthrough in tiny-habits, but it did have a great impact in my life, so I thought to share it with you all. Try it yourself! Write these statements with the right mindset and attitude, and you’ll change your life. Remember, for added security, try to be a bit more complex with the words. Add symbols or numbers, or scramble the beginning or the ending of your password string. S4f3ty_f1rst! Pass the tip to those who might need it. Updated on June 21, 2014: She said yes.

The way changed grading scale passed South Barber School Board scrutinized Part of South Barber school board’s July Meeting By Yvonne Miller What appeared to be a somewhat quick South Barber Board of Education’s Monday meeting agenda, consisting mostly of reorganization items, turned into another lengthy discussion about the school’s grading scale. Superintendent Brad Morris also gave updates regarding various upcoming (already approved) capital improvement projects. Board President Steve Allen presided over the meeting attended by board members: Mike Anderson, Dana Roark, Deb Helfrich and Jeff Black. Board members Mark Pollock and Dooli Rugg were gone. Superintendent Morris and minutes clerk Julie Johnson also sat at board table. In May, a divided school school board approved changing to a 10-point grading scale from the current eight-point scale. Those voting yes were Roark, Rugg and Pollock. Voting no were Helfrich, Black and Anderson. President Allen voted yes to break the tie. Allen said his research indicated the trend is moving to the 10-point scale. Proponents of the change said a 10-point grading scale puts South Barber students on a more level playing field when it comes to competing for scholarships, etc., with students from other schools. Opponents of changing said it would lower students standards. Many educators at that meeting left in frustration.
At the meeting Monday night, under “old business” agenda item was “approve a new grading scale.” That 10-point scale listed on several documents at the meeting show an A+ (98-100) = 4.25; A (94-97) = 4.0; A- (90-92) = 3.75. On the lower end of the scale it shows a D- (6062) = .75; and F = 59 and below. This was the grading scale created by a committee of board members the board was to approve Monday night. Helfrich questioned what exact motion the board voted on at the May meeting. She believed the approved scale had no plus and minuses. She certainly didn’t remember a 4.25 GPA for an A+. President Allen said, “It’s almost a weighted thing,” which is something administrators and board members are considering (to make higher level classes have more weight toward a higher grade and GPA to encourage students to take the harder courses). PK-6 Principal Marcia Cantrell said, “You ask how can we give students incentive.” She said the incentive lies in students taking regents classes. “Those students are going to strive for it.” Longtime teacher Melva Armbruster spoke from the small crowd at the meeting. She said, “I think the problem with these teachers is that it (the vote to change the grading scale) was not done properly. What I hear Deb (Helfrich) saying is what I’m thinking: let’s do
what is best for kids.” She stated further, “The groundwork had not been laid before the motion.” Principal Cantrell said regarding teachers and their way of teaching with the new grading scale, “You don’t have to change your expectations. You fit it into the scale.” President Allen said, “As the board, we do not sit here and tell you how to teach.” Helfrich said, “It is our job to give the best education and prepare our students.” Anderson said, “We passed this without a valid motion.” Turning to clerk Johnson, everyone agreed it’s confusing whether plus and minuses were included in the vote. At that point Superintendent Morris called the Kansas Association of School Boards (KASB) legal counsel who joined the meeting via speaker phone. Morris explained that at the May meeting, a motion was made and seconded to approve a 10-point grading scale. Then discussion ensued before the vote. That’s where the issue lies: whether plus or minuses were included in the vote. The KASB attorney recommended and the board unanimously agreed to rescind that original motion made at the May meeting regarding the 10-point grading scale. The attorney said this is to insure clarification. Then it was moved and seconded to approve the 10-point scale with the plus and minuses. Roark, Black and Anderson voted yes with Helfrich voting no. The motion passed. So this new 10-point scale with pluses an minuses will go into effect for the 2014-15 school year. The remainder of South Barber’s July meeting will be in the Newsgram next week.

One KPD position eliminated, officers’ pay adjusted, water/sewer staff changes Kiowa City Council By Yvonne Miller Changes within the police and water/ sewer departments occurred following executive sessions at the Kiowa City Council July meeting Monday night. Mayor Brandon Farney presided over the meeting with all members present, including Russell Molz, Tom Wells, Mark Lambert, Bill Watson and R.L. Simpson. Also seated at the council table were City Administrator Nathan Law, City Attorney Laurel McClellan and City Clerk Marlo Rugg. At the end of the meeting, the council held a brief executive session to discuss police department staffing. Law reported that the council accepted Chief Steven Johnson’s recommendation to eliminate the third officer position. That followed the earlier resignation of Kiowa Police Department (KPD) Officer Nephi Richardson, who is now employed with the Barber County Sheriff’s Department. Chief Johnson also recommended adjusting remaining officers’ pay accordingly, with the elimination of the third officer position. Lambert moved to accept the chief’s recommendation, seconded by Simpson. The motion passed 4-1 with Watson voting no. When asked by the Newsgram why he voted no, Watson said he thinks the pay increase is “outlandish.” The approved recommendation is to pay the chief $50,000 annually and the second officer $40,000, Watson said. The second police officer is Warren Howerter. Administrator Law confirmed those amounts when asked by the Newsgram. Law said that $50,000 and $40,000 salaries are before benefits. Previously, before benefits the chief position was paid $36,711 and the second-high officer received $30,160. Watson said the chief and officer agreed to put in more hours. He reminded that Simpson’s brother is a reserve officer and the police chief plans to find another reserve officer. When contacted, Molz said he voted for the chief’s recommendation “because the bottom line is it saves the city about $25,000.” Molz said the savings come
from eliminating another vehicle, plus salary and benefits of another employee. Regarding the water/sewer department staffing, the council held separate executive sessions that lasted a total of about 45 minutes. Upon return to open session, the council voted to accept the administrator’s recommendation on the water department staffing. Administrator Law said the council accepted the retirement of Water/Sewer Department Superintendent James Duvall. Flags Flown on Main Street A group of women from Kiowa’s General Store (the goodwill store) attended the council meeting to question why flags were not flown on Main Street as usual on Memorial Day and Flag Day. Spokesman Mary Terwort said, “Everyone is pretty concerned. We want the flags up when they are supposed to be up.” Terwort further stated, “It’s the American way. We want to show support of our country.” Others representing the General Store were Brenda Odell, Lou Stone and Wanda Root. Law explained the problem originated with the new, taller street sweeper. The flag brackets were raised to keep flags from being struck by the sweeper. This made it difficult to get the flags in the brackets. Law said, “It is really unforgivable not to have flags fly when they are supposed to.” He said city employees will continue to hang the American flags. Also booster club flags will not be placed on Friday mornings until after the street is swept. More City of Kiowa Business Mayor Farney said he had not yet talked to individuals about an appointment to take the seat of Todd Reeves, who resigned from the Kiowa Recreation Commission since he moved away from Kiowa. So, the item was tabled. Due to lack of use, the volunteers who ran Kiowa’s government food commodities program want to discontinue the program. The council agreed the program will go away unless a need is shown. Until the new car wash is built, the
city said action regarding parking for the senior citizen center is a non-issue. Law presented a draft of the 2015 budget for the council to review. One finalized, Law will plug these figures into the proposed budget, which will be presented at the August meeting. Purchases for the water department totaling $3,575 without installation were approved. The council also approved installation charges. The annual sewer cleaning and additional sewer work were approved at a cost of $11,795. Administrator Law discussed possibly redoing the front half of the city-owned Slusher Building. He also reported an electrical issue at the ball field. Rugg said Sunflower RC&D made a request for a $250 donation. A request was also made regarding the Kids Against Hunger project. Law reported on street reconstruction work that is to begin mid-month by Andale and Circle C. Specifics of that work follow: Kiowa residents will see street reconstruction occur along the following: Fifth Street South between Gordon and Drumm, and Fifth Street North between Campbell and Hopkins; 10th Street South between Holmes and Robinson; and Streeter between Fourth and Fifth streets. During this reconstruction these streets will be closed temporarily. The majority of the work to reconstruct the base of the street will happen within a day, while the prime coat of the chip seal process will have to be applied one evening and set for 12-24 hours without any traffic on the road surface. Law said owners should anticipate not having access to the street side of their property for at least this 12-24 hour time frame. As the start date for the project gets closer, the city will notify property owners along these routes of the times during which they will not have street access. Law thanks all for their patience during this project. Questions should be directed to City Administrator Nathan Law by calling 620-825-4127, or by emailing to administrator@sctelcom.net.

Burlington Superintendent contract signed, stipend for teachers, organize for new year Best-ever financial picture for school By Yvonne Miller At the regular July meeting of the Burlington Board of Education last week, Superintendent Elliott’s contract was signed; certified teachers received a stipend; para-professionals were rehired; and all the reorganizational business for the 2014-15 school year was conducted. Board President Terry Graham presided over the meeting with all members present including: Beth Guffy, Allison Armbruster, Aaron Smith and Roger Allen (who arrived late). Others present were: Superintendent Glen Elliott, Principal Shane Feely and Minutes Clerk, Linda Gordon. The board signed Superintendent Elliott’s contract which has no change from last year, he said. They also signed 12 month employee contracts for six employees. Those employees were Travis Bradshaw, Fawnda Martin, Linda Gordon, Tamre Bohn, Derek Martin and Jeremy Harper. Discussing the school’s financial situation, the superintendent said, “It’s even a little better than my estimate last month.” Elliott said the school’s cumulative fund balance “is the highest it’s ever been.” The estimate is $1,091,000.00, he said. Elliott said there are oil/gas wells that are not yet reflected on the tax revenues and more drilling is anticipated.
Following an approximate 45 minute executive session toward the end of the meeting, the board approved that Burlington teachers would qualify to receive stipends up to $3,000.00 for the 2014-2015 school year. To qualify, certified employees would need to attend and participate in Promethean Board trainings to be held in three sessions at $1,000.00 stipend for each training as per the plan presented. Also after executive session, the board rehiring paraprofessionals Kathy Motycka, Aliene Gosselin and Shannon Shrum for the 2014-2015 school year. Board members agreed with Elliott that these ladies did “a great job for our school” and they are needed again this coming school year. Teacher Judy Elliott joined the meeting to distribute the student handbook and board policy book changes for 2014-2015. Some of the necessary changes were not yet available. The Board expressed their appreciation to Mrs. Elliott for her work on the updates. Both items were tabled until further review. With Mrs. Elliott still at the meeting, the board discussed and approved purchase of six new sewing machines for her classroom. The cost is $349 each from Alva Sewing Center. After a short discussion, the board approve the purchase of a new Electronic Keyboard from Wichita Symphony Music for $3077. Superintendent Elliott apprised the board that besides new construction work
at the school, there are many ongoing summer projects -- mowing, weed-eating and painting. Elliott said there has been extra heavy lifting required with the need to move files and desks and to install Promethean Boards. He said the extra help was appreciated. All the buses, suburbans, and the ag pickup are scheduled for summer maintenance and inspections, he said. The superintendent said four of the five board members indicated they’ll attend the OSBA & COSSA Conference August 22-24. Board Reorganizes for 2014-15 School Year and Other Business The school’s property and liability insurance coverage with OSRMT was board approved at $20,645.00 from July 2014 to the end of June 2015. The Board reviewed and approved the encumbrances, change orders and warrants as follows: General Fund 2015— Encumbrances—1-72--$261,136.52 Payroll Accrual $ Warrants—1-40--$50,342.15 Building Fund—Encumbrances— 1-4--$16,706.92 2014 Reserves Warrants—1247-1250--$64,349.00 Other items approved include: the June activity report; all sub accounts in the activity fund for 2014-2015 as listed on agenda item #10; the use of “signature facsimile” stamps for the Board of Education officers; the activities calendar and fundraising requests for 2014-2015; to continue section 125 flexible benefits plan with American Fidelity (the same cafeteria plan for employee’s choice the school offers annually); to adopt the school days to hours policy allowed by HB 1864. Agenda Items 11 through 17 were considered together as the board made one motion to apply to all seven items. These were routine housekeeping authorizations for the new school year 2014-15, involving Superintendent Elliott, Principal Shane Feely, secretaries Linda Gordon and Tamre Bond, Judy Elliott and Fawnda Martin. The superintendent said all those authorizations are important to See School Page 52

Voters should apply early to receive absentee ballots Voters in Alfalfa County who want to have absentee ballots mailed to them for the Aug. 26 runoff primary election should apply now, County Election Board Secretary Kelly Stein said today. Although the county election board can accept applications for absentee ballots until 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 20, Stein urged voters who want to vote by absentee ballot to apply early. Absentee ballot application forms are available at the county election board office located at 300 S. Grand Ave. The absentee ballot application forms also can be downloaded and printed at www.elections.ok.gov. Voters who have requested an absentee ballot can track their ballot at http://www.ok.gov/elections/Voter_ Info/Online_Voter_Tool/. “At least two mail transactions must be made,” Stein said. “The county election board must mail the ballots to the voter and the voter must return the voted ballots by mail.” Ballots must be in the hands of the county election board by 7 p.m. on election day in order
to be counted. Stein said that any registered voter may vote by absentee ballot in any election in which he/she is eligible to vote. However, a voter must be registered and reside at an address within the geographical boundaries of a school district or a municipality to be eligible to vote in school district or municipal elections. It is not necessary to give a reason – or excuse – for voting absentee. “While anyone can vote absentee without giving a reason, the law still provides several excuses, and it is to the advantage of some voters to use one of them,” Stein said. By stating one of the following reasons on their applications, these voters can activate some special conditions that make it easier for them to use absentee ballots. The reasons are: • Voters who are physically incapacitated and voters who care for physically incapacitated persons who cannot be left unattended may vote absentee. They may apply only by mail, fax or email.
• Voters who are confined to nursing homes in the county may vote absentee. An absentee voting board actually goes to the nursing home a few days before the election, sets up a small polling place and allows these people to vote under circumstances similar to those at a regular precinct polling place. They may apply only by mail, fax or email. • Military personnel and residents of the county living overseas and the spouses and dependents of each group are eligible to receive absentee ballots. These voters may apply only by mail, fa, or email. Military personnel should contact the voting service officers in their units for application forms and additional information or visit the Federal Voting Assistance Program website (www.fvap.gov/oklahoma) for more information and instructions. Residents of Oklahoma living overseas can obtain the same materials from any United States military installation and from United States embassies and consulates, as well as on the FVAP website.
22 road signs retrieved in Carmen By Marione Martin Alfalfa County authorities say they found 22 signs at a residence in
Carmen. Cassidy Dawn Carter, 27, of Carmen has been charged with four felony counts of knowingly concealing stolen property. According to court documents, on July 5 about 3:20 p.m. Woods County Deputy Sheriff Terry Swenn contacted Alfalfa County Deputy Sheriff Blake Trekell. He reported an anonymous tip that Cassidy Carter in Carmen had road signs in a trailer behind her house. Trekell went to the residence and drove down the alley. He saw a bumper-pull trailer parked behind the residence. He parked and walked by the trailer as he went to the door of the house. He saw inside the trailer window what appeared to be a street sign sticking up in plain view. Trekell asked Carter about the signs, and she said he could take them if he wanted. She said she had been trying to get rid of them. He found 22 signs, including three county road signs
from Woods County for County Road 420, popular due to their relationship to marijuana. There were 16 state road signs, two railroad signs and one Pioneer Telephone buried cable sign. One of the signs was too big to fit in Trekell’s vehicle so he asked Carmen Fire Department to pick it up and hold it for him. After arresting Carter, Trekell took her and the remaining signs to the Alfalfa County Jail in Cherokee. At the jail he conducted a post-Miranda interview with Carter. She said that someone else put the signs in her trailer but she didn’t know who put them there. She said two people were staying in her home with her permission about a year ago when she went to Illinois. When she returned, her home was “trashed.” She said later when she took some stuff to the trailer, she saw the signs. She said she had been trying to get rid of them because she knew she could get in trouble.

Here’s a really sweet picture from this weekend’s wedding. Meagan Masters and Warren Henry were married this past Saturday in the Hardtner city park. At the reception later that night, family members joined together to help the bride’s grandfather enjoy a dance. Meagan told us that her granddad has suffered several strokes and has been affected seriously by them. Nonetheless, family members helped him stand and participate in a dance. Granddaughter Stevie, her husband Nick and grandpa’s wife Wally are pictured. Our videographer Kat Kuhlmann got the scene on video and Lynn got it on still pictures. We asked both the bride, and the wife for permission to run the photo. Wally, the wife, was thrilled at the idea and thanked us. Lynn Martin Photography always does HD video for backup of every wedding. That way, we safely get everything even if you’re not buying a video.

By Marione Martin Henry Curtis Soloman, 25, of Oklahoma City is facing several charges in Alfalfa County. He has been charged with two felony counts of bringing a cellphone or electronic device in a penal institution. He was also charged July 9 with three misdemeanor charges of bringing contraband into a penal institution. According to court papers, Helena Chief of Police Jim Dykes was called to James Crabtree Correctional Center (JCCC) to take Soloman into custody for trying to throw contraband over the fence. Dykes said Soloman told him he did it to help pay on his fines and court costs from a former conviction. Sgt. Ekman of JCCC was on patrol and found Soloman on the west side of the prison by a small barn on state property. Ekman said Soloman had thrown a large duffle bag on the roof of the barn.

Two arrested for contraband at JCCC
By Marione Martin Officials questioned two men about an attempt to throw contraband over the fence at James Crabtree Correctional Center (JCCC) in Helena June 7. According to court documents, Helena Police Chief Jim Dykes was called to the prison about 7:30 a.m. where officers had detained two black males caught throwing contraband over the north prison fence. Officers said a white Dodge regular cab pickup had driven the two men to Helena but had taken off and left them. Dykes searched the town but could not find the pickup. He took the two men into custody at 8 a.m. and drove them to the Alfalfa County Jail in Cherokee. One was a juvenile, age 16. The other was Lawrence Basil Lowe, 18, of Oklahoma City. The contraband found included seven cellphones, six flip phones, approximately 11 pounds of smoking tobacco, two bottles of an unknown liquor, two pounds of smokeless tobacco, one USB and two earbuds. JCCC has video of the two young men with the contraband on state property, and they were seen by Sgt. Glenn. Sgt. Ekman made the arrest assisted by Corp.
Leon, who was driving the perimeter at the time and saw them running across the field.

Physical therapy assistant Molz joins Kiowa hospital By Yvonne Miller As a high school athlete at Sublette, Kan., Brooke Molz tore the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in her knee and underwent physical therapy (PT) in Garden City, Kan. Little did she know that experience would guide her future profession. “I liked the people and they helped me work through my injuries at a time when you think sports is everything,” Molz said. After graduating from Sublette in 2004, Molz earned her bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from Kansas State University in 2008 and then finished her schooling to become a physical therapist assistant (PTA) through Colby Community College. In July, Molz joined physical therapist Lana Smith at Kiowa District Hospital (KDH). When Smith joined KDH last September, the physical therapy department numbers soared and continue to do so. When PTA Todd Reeves left at the end of June, the opening was a perfect fit for Molz. That’s because she married Ryan Molz of Kiowa in April 2012. He is a part of Chieftain Oil with his parents Ron and Kristi Molz in Kiowa. Until starting at KDH, Molz worked in physical therapy at Share Medical Center (SMC) in Alva. “I loved my job there (at SMC), but to feel a part of the Kiowa community – it’s

nice to work here,” Molz said. Keeping busy at KDH, Molz said she sees all age ranges and a variety of issues. “I like that it’s not the same thing everyday,” she said. “I like giving patient care – helping people get better and well.” As a student in a small high school, Molz participated in basketball, track, softball, cheerleading and cross country. This gives her empathy for the many injured young athletes that pass through the PT doors at KDH. She is just as comfortable helping a middle aged or elderly patient. Smith designs a plan of care for each patient and Molz helps implement the rehab. The young women stay busy. Anyone familiar with the two realize they are as pretty as the excellent care they provide. They supply a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, but are diligent in motivating their patients to give it their all and leave PT better than they arrived. When Molz is not working, she likes to garden, maintain her home and travel – especially to Grand Lake in northeast Oklahoma, where she and Ryan met. She also enjoys working out, often by spinning (indoor cycling), taking yoga classes and running. The couple’s yellow lab is named Kaycee after the Kansas City Chief’s mascot. “She thinks everyone is her friend,” Molz said of her four-legged buddy.

Alfalfa County commissioners award bids for semis, Jet Responders’ truck equipment Losing bidder’s injunction discussed *By Leslie Nation CHEROKEE, Okla. – The Alfalfa County commissioners held their regular meeting on July 14 at the county courthouse to discuss their new agenda. The commissioners reviewed bids for semi trucks from Enid Mack Sales, Inc., and Brouckner’s of Oklahoma City, Commissioner Chad Roach mentioned that the bid from Brouckner’s did not meet spec requirements, and the commissioners agreed that the bid from Enid Mack was the better option. The commissioners then reviewed the four open bids for equipment for Jet Responders’ trucks. The commissioners opted for Industrial Truck Equipment, Oklahoma City, whose bid was $19,523.99.
After reviewing all open bids, the commissioners then proceeded with the agenda, approving the minutes from last meeting, M & O warrants and road crossing permits. There were no blanket purchases available for inspection. The monthly officer reports were also reviewed, as were a few lapsed appropriations. A total of 30 road crossing permits were reviewed. Later in the meeting, the commissioners briefly discussed another matter arising from a losing bidder’s dissatisfaction with the local the bidding process. Brian Langston, representing Cedar Ridge Construction, came to discuss his company’s reasons for filing an injuction against the commissioners. Cedar Ridge believes they were unjustly disqualified in the bidding process for constructing the new EMS building. The 522 Ambulance Board awarded that bid to Henson

Construction Company. Though the commissioners’ legal aid told them to accept the original decision in favor of Henson Construction’s bid, Roach expressed his company’s belief that this was an indication for the board to be more proactive and involved with other community entities that make decisions about bids. The commissioners also reviewed an oil and gas lease that involved mineral interests owned by Chairman Doug Murrow. DeltaCore Energy, Inc., made two offers regarding Section 11-26N11, which it was leasing on behalf of SandRidge Exploration and Production, LLC. With the approval of the rest of the board, Murrow chose the second offer, which consisted of a three-year oil lease at $800 per net mineral acre with onefifth royalty provision, and a two-year option to extend it for the same bonus amount. When no unforeseen business was brought before the commissioners, the the meeting was adjourned. Road crossing permit revenue is as follows:

Auditions are this coming Sunday, July 20, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., at the Kiowa (Kan.) Community Building. The cast is comprised of four men and four women.

Winner of the 2012 Mystery Writers of America Edgar Allen Poe Awards for best play, “The Game’s Afoot” was written by American playwright Ken Ludwig, whose many plays are
performed all over the globe. Ludwig describes the play this way: “It is December 1936 and Broadway
star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play ‘Sherlock Holmes,’ has invited his fellow cast-members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. Then it’s up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.”
