By Roger McKenzieMistakes happen. The Alfalfa County commissioners

accepted that the county was assessed a late fee by the Internal Revenue Service for being one business day late in send-ing in payroll taxes during their weekly meeting on Monday. They did not, how-ever, accept advice on how to pay it.

Instead, they showed some compas-sion in how the late penalty was to be paid—even if it meant not following the advice of the state auditors’ office.

The deadline for County Clerk Bruce Martin’s office to send in the payroll tax deposit was on a Friday. Instead, it was deposited on the following Monday. The tardiness resulted in an IRS penalty of $570.39. Sixty percent of the deposit represented deductions from the county’s

employees paid out of its Highway Fund and 40 percent came from employees paid out of the county’s General Fund.

County Clerk Martin consulted with the state auditor’s office. He said that of-fice suggested the payment of the penalty be divided on a pro-rata basis according to the source of the payroll taxes. In oth-er words, take 60 percent of the penalty from the county’s Highway Fund and 40 percent from the General Fund.

There was an excuse for the tardiness. On that Friday, the clerk’s office had to be shut down for several hours and the work flow was interrupted.

“It does happen,” said Commission-er Chad Roach of the mistake. “What I don’t understand is why can’t it all be on the County General Fund, not the High-way Fund when it is not at fault?”

Roach noted that the county has in the past made use of the Highway Fund in emergencies when the General Fund was not as healthy as it currently is

thanks to increasing sales tax revenues. He also noted that the Highway Fund, which does not get sales tax money, is now hurting because its revenues are de-creasing.

“I don’t see what difference it makes where the money comes from,” said Commissioner Doug Murrow.

With that, Roach made the motion to take the penalty from the General Fund. The motion passed unanimously.

Permission given for phone system quote

The various offices in the county use different phone systems. Some of them don’t communicate well with each other. To complicate things, some of the sys-tems are no longer being manufactured, which increases the cost of maintenance paid by the county when service is need-ed.

In the past few weeks rumors have surfaced about my eligibility to run for Sheriff of Barber County. At least one other candidate for sheriff’s campaign has made statements and sent letters to the county election officer protesting that I cannot run. One such accusation is that I recently was arrested and charged with DUI. This is completely inaccurate. I hope to set the record straight and explain the circumstance surrounding these accusations.

It is true that I was stopped and cited for driving under the influence. However, this was not a recent event. This happened in 1998. I was 22 years old and not a law enforcement officer. I was not convicted of this offense

and I successfully completed all the requirements for diversion.

As embarrassing as the situation may be, it was also a life changing event for me and it has helped me understand the value of the law. In fact, it was one of many decisions that sparked my interest in law enforcement.

The efforts of some to influence your vote is disturbing to me. My opponents have gone to great extent to discredit and hurt not just my campaign but have attacked another candidate as well. I had no idea that when I entered this race I would be defending my integrity as a deputy sheriff. I have, and always will, do the best job I can in upholding the law and protecting the citizens of Barber County.

The statements and accusations alleged against me are not factual.

I was cleared to run for sheriff back in 2011 by the Kansas Attorney General’s Office and KBI. If I weren’t, I would not have filed for office. I was careful in

my research before filing, knowing that my 14-year-old diversion may effect my eligibility.

After a letter was sent to our County Election Officer Deb Wesley by Ryan Laney (who is running as a hopeful for Under Sheriff for the J.C. Stevenson Campaign), I was finally able to get a written opinion about the issue. County Election Officer Deb Wesley asked County Attorney Richard Raleigh for the opinion of the Kansas Attorney General and in a letter dated March 30, 2012, the AG’s office has given me the second green-light for my candidacy. The cover page to the letter is below. For a complete copy of the opinion please see: http://ksag.washburnlaw.edu/opinions/2012/2012-008.pdf

In closing, I would like to thank all of you who have asked about this situation and have given me your support in my efforts to become your next sheriff.

Thank you,Justin Rugg

By Lynn L. MartinAfter several weeks of intensive

work with all building principals and the teachers in the schools affected, a committee of Title 1 teachers convinced the board of education Monday night to change the eligibility for Title 1 services from a few underperforming students to all students in a building.

The Title 1 program is federally funded and has been used mainly for el-ementary reading help in the past. The stringent rules of the program are such that if a computer lab is purchased with Title 1 funds, then only Title 1 designat-ed students can use that lab.

Another important advantage to of-fering Title 1 services to all students is that in the past, a stigma occasionally was voiced by some students who prided themselves on not needing Title 1 help. That “labeling” will disappear since at times all students may receive extra attention if they are even temporarily struggling in a new subject area.

The board’s action will affect Wash-ington, Longfellow, Lincoln and the Alva Middle School. Supt. Vicky John-son said a similar proposal for Alva High School will be presented at a later school board meeting.

ResignationsThe board received letters of retire-

ment resignation from classroom teacher Debbie Justice, and support personnel Rita Miller, Charles Miller, Roger Miller and Roger Hada.

Routine letters of resignation were

Board makes Title 1 help available to all students

received from faculty members Kari Wendt, Camille Dark, and Cheryl Adri-an.

New Band DirectorWith a strong recommendation

from Alva High School Principal Steve Parkhust, elementary music teacher Cara Bradt was promoted to Middle School and High School band director. The vote by the board was unanimous.

The child nutrition report was pre-sented. During the month of March, an average of 573 lunches was served and an average of 138 breakfasts was served. The income for the lunch program was detailed as follows: income from stu-dents - $110,427; income from Head Start - $17,669; Federal reimburse-ment - $139,728 and State matching - $1967.00.

Gas Line ProblemThe leaking natural gas line at Long-

fellow School was more difficult and more expensive to repair than originally estimated. Initially, workers thought the gas line leak was underneath the circle drive at the front of the school. After burrowing under the concrete and re-placing the pipe, the testing equipment still showed a leak. Then pipe that went along the south side of the building was checked. Principal Steve Shiever said some code violations were found and repaired. Pipe that was supposed to be buried at least 18 inches underground was at 10 inch depth. Finally, more leak-age was detected in the main line so it was replaced. The cost will probably be

$18,000 more than the initial estimate.Longfellow School was without heat

for almost a month. During a couple of extra cold days, classes were held at the Career Tech and at the Alva Rec Park. Steve Shiever also thanked Alva Middle School for feeding the 130 kids each day. Monday, April 2nd, was the first day the Longfellow students were able to eat in their own cafeteria in a month.

Enrollment at the Alva schools is as follows: Washington – 239; Longfellow – 135; Lincoln – 134; AMS – 185, and AHS – 227.

The principals from both the Alva Middle School and the Alva High School said they have been discussing the possibility of moving to an eight pe-riod school day next year. No decision has been made.

The board spent several minutes dis-cussing which teacher evaluation model to be used next year. All members except Larry Parker voted to utilize the Tulsa model. They also voted to make that the exclusive evaluation model. Parker sim-ply refused to cast a vote on either item.

Another vote was conducted to se-lect the McRel leader evaluation system as the only system for use in judging the performance of building principals. Once again the vote was 4 – 0 with Park-er not voting.

In other votes, the Alva School Board renewed their contract for software with Municipal Accounting systems; they re-newed their contract with the Oklahoma State Department of Career and Techni-cal Education for programs used at AMS and AHS.

The board accepted a request from the AEA (teacher’s union) to enter into win-win negotiations for 2012-2013.

process.RimRock Telecom representative

Wayne Harmon explained that a new system could reduce maintenance costs, which could be applied to the cost of the

system. Since the current systems are not broke, however, the commissioners allowed Harmon to gather information for a quote so that a better comparison can be made. While more convenience is desired, the commissioners indicated that cost of new system versus the cost of maintaining the current one will be a big determining factor.

Pipeline easement and right of wayThe commissioners approved an

easement and right of way agreement for Parnon Gathering, Inc. The agreement paves the way for a large pipeline using existing, but previously unused easement agreement. The easement and right of way is approximately one mile north of Goltry in District 3.

Road crossing permitsTen road crossing permits, totaling

$13,750 in fees, were approved. District 1 had three permits totaling $1,500. Dis-trict 2 had two permits totaling $9,550. District 3 had five permits totaling $2,500.

Other businessIn other business, the commissioners

approved the Alcoholic Beverage Tax Report, which showed that the county communities received a combined total of $5,391.99 in revenues.

Minutes, blanket purchase orders, and maintenance and operations war-rants were approved. Also given the okay were miscellaneous officers’ reports, the highway consumables report and the maximum highway expenditures resolu-tion.

By Julie WhitemanSix students were approved for

open transfer into the Waynoka School District.

“We have requests from three dif-ferent families for open transfers and I recommend you approve all of them,” Constien told the board. “Open trans-fers will mean they don’t have to file a request every year. This includes a family with one child, one family with three children, and another with two children. Mr. Meriwether and I have both visited with them extensively and we don’t see any reason to not accept them as open transfers.”

The agreement with Clearwater En-terprise as the natural gas supplier to Waynoka Schools was approved for renewal in the4 2012-2013 fiscal year. Constien said it was a standard contract and the school district saved $5,800 by using Clearwater last year.

During the March meeting of the Waynoka School Board, the Tulsa model was adopted for Teacher Lead-ership Effectiveness evaluation as part of a pilot program to be mandated by the state next year. Schools participat-ing in the pilot program were given three models to choose from to begin implementing a standard of Teacher Leadership Evaluations. The Tulsa

model was used by Waynoka Principal Michael Meriwether side-by-side with the current district evaluation system in the 2011-2012 school year to estab-lish an educated recommendation. The option of continuing to use both meth-ods through the pilot year, 2012-2013, was presented to the board.

“Most schools have not and will not be using two models simultaneous-ly, and we’ve already done that. The teachers have already had exposure to the Tulsa model which we’ve adopted. So it is our recommendation that we exclusively use the Tulsa model for the evaluation process in the next school year,” Constien said. The board unani-mously approved Constien’s recom-mendation.

In her Superintendent’s report, Constien said there was a positive note for finances.

“Things are looking good,” said Constien. “We’ve met what the auditor projected for income for this date. So we are going to be ahead for the next three months. We are going to have a good healthy carry-over. It is my goal to maintain that carry-over and still make some purchases like a bus and an Ag truck.”

The district is still attempting to keep expenses down and will continue to do so, according to Constien.

In other business the board accept-ed the resignations of Ag teacher Justin Anderson, and head cook Kelly Like.

The larger portion of the proceeds will go to establish a scholarship fund for the surviving children of Sgt. Mycal Prince, an American hero who gave his life de-fending our freedom. Sgt. Prince was in Afghanistan serving with Oklahoma’s 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team. Sydney plans to use her influence as princess to support the Wrangler National Patriot Pro-gram, the Folds of Honor Foundation and the Oklahoma Rodeo Pageants Council.

“We recently welcomed home of the largest military deployment our state has ever seen,” Sydney said. “I am proud to say my father, Major Colby Wyatt, was one of them. I believe the freedom to par-ticipate in the family-based sport of rodeo and enjoy the western way of life are pos-sible because of the sacrifices of our brave men and women in uniform. Please help me salute them all and celebrate the free-doms they selflessly protect.”

Sydney competes in barrel racing, pole bending, and goat tying. She is active in Alfalfa County 4-H and the Cherokee

Roundup Club. When not a horse you will find Syndey participating in basketball, the academic bowl team, as well as dance, piano, and art.

By Yvonne MillerIn February the Kiowa District

Hospital Clinic saw the second busi-est month that they’ve had in five years with 426 visits. The hospital had 41 days of swingbed care which is great for the hospital and community, DON Karla Johnston said.

Not only is that business for the hospital but swingbed offers home-town area folks an opportunity to re-cover from an illness close to home with a caring nursing staff, Johnston said.

This information was released at the March meeting of the KDH Board Thursday night, March 22. Board VP Robert Armbruster conducted the meeting in the absence of President Zack Odell. Other members present included: Dan Lukins, Lori Schrock and Robert Stark who arrived about 8 p.m., for the 7 p.m, meeting. Also at the board table were: CEO Alden Van Vandeveer, CFO Janell Goodno and Human Resource Director Angela Whitely.

With this increased business, the hospital showed a profit of $19,156.17. That was net from operations before the addition of $62,548.43 (mainly) tax revenue. That addition made the hospital show revenue in excess of ex-

Kiowa Hospital profitable even without tax support in Februarypenses of $81,704.60.

Year-to-date, the hospital is in the black $91,114.30. The manor showed an overall loss of $31,686.53 with the addition of $5000 tax revenue for Feb-ruary. So the district overall is in the black $26,965.87 year-to-date.

Manor DON Nicole Tronsguard said the manor patient census re-mained at 25 Thursday. She said the manor needs another RN and night-time CNA’s. The manor holds another training class April 9. Call for details.

The manor plans a Spring Carni-val on the lawn May 19. It will feature games (such as a dunking tank with target CEO and Administrator Van along with others). They invite crafters and vendors to set up for the carnival. They ask for community volunteers to help that day.

Hospital BusinessVandeveer reported that the hospi-

tal server crashed causing quit a prob-lem with wiped out data. The hospital had a backup but it wrote no data to backup. This required lots of extra work for everyone.

After reviewing several options, the board approved a Dell 32 GB Ram server through SC Telcom. The cost is not to exceed $10,500.

In the process of implementing

electronic health records, board mem-bers approved purchasing some neces-sary equipment to go with their Next-gen software.

The amount is not to exceed $6,700. Some of the items to be purchased in-clude: a laptop and a cart for nurses to take from room to room; two mobile tablets (like an iPad);a headset; scan-ner, etc.

Staff is looking at financing options for this equipment whether it’s from memorial money, etc.

Vandeveer reported the tax credit grant application was postponed until July 2. He said they plan to request the maximum amount of $357,000. This will be for the KDH and ER Revital-ization.

Vandeveer also gave an update on the new hospital building project. He said they’ve finished all the require-ments from the USDA for the loan ap-plication process.

The CEO said a ground water con-tamination question arose on the new hospital property in the USDA loan application process. So an assessment is ongoing by the state. USDA officials and the project architects are supposed to meet in April to discuss results.

Board members held an executive session that lasted about an hour and a half. The purpose was to discuss the monthly RM/QA report; non-elected personnel; and legal.

The only action taken upon return to open session was approval of the RM/QA report for the manor before adjournment.

The Waynoka FCCLA Chapter has been raising money for the American Cancer Society throughout the year for their Chapter Service Project. The chap-ter wanted to make a difference by raising money and honoring cancer survivors. The FCCLA officer team has also formed a Relay For Life team to contribute to the project.

They had an American Cancer So-ciety representative speak to their joint meeting with Fairview and Mooreland chapter in October, held a Sack Cancer Event in November at a home football game, and organized a Hat Day during National FCCLA Week, and their first event this year was on October 11th when a representative with the American Can-cer Society attended the regular chapter meeting to discuss Relay For Life and to challenge studentss to do more. They discussed what Relay For Life is and ex-plained what the money raised goes to-ward. The representative from American Cancer Society also talked to us about things we could do to help prevent cancer such as eating right, staying fit, wearing sunscreen, and self-examinations. The handouts and videos they showed were very informative. They were also able to reach the Mooreland and Fairview FC-CLA chapters as they had joined Way-noka for the October meeting.

In November FCCLA held the Sack Cancer Event and it was a huge success. They sold t-shirts, gathered donations, and had a bake sale which raised over $1,100. They appreciate everyone who contributed to their success at the Sack Cancer Event, either through purchasing t-shirts or taking part in the bake sale. This is the second year they have held an event of this kind and appreciate the con-tinued support of the community.

During National FCCLA Week in Feb-ruary, they had a Hat Day where students bought a Relay For Life sticker which al-lowed them to wear a hat at school for the day. All of these events raised not only money but awareness about the American

Cancer Society and Relay For Life. The Waynoka FCCLA continues to

raise money for their Relay For Life team and they would appreciate any support from the community in this project. The funds raised throughout the year will al-low the Waynoka FCCLA Chapter to be a platinum corporate sponsor for the Al-falfa/Woods County Relay For Life for the second year in a row. They want to continue to help the American Cancer Society in any way they can. If anyone would like to donate to our team, feel free to contact Mrs. Poe at school at (580)824-4341. If you are interested in volunteering for the American Cancer Society you can contact Kyna Dillard (580) 227-7449.
