CIMARRON COUNTY BURNING BAN EFFECTIVE DATE: APRIL 4, 2011 On April 4, 2011 Cimarron County Commissioners approved Resolution #24-2011 placing Cimarron County on Outdoor Burning Ban for a period not to exceed 30 days from effective date. By virtue of this resolution, it is unlawful for any person to set fire to any forest, grass, range, crop or other wildlands, or to build a campfire or bonfire, or to burn trash or other material that may cause a forest, grass, range, crop, or other wildlands fire. Exceptions to this fire prohibition and the appropriate precautionary measures to be taken are as follows: Outdoor campfires or bonfires are prohibited; LPG and natural gas grills and charcoal- fired cooking outside in a grilling receptacle are permitted provided that the activity is conducted over a non-flammable surface and at least five feet from flammable vegeta- tion; and written permission for controlled burning of range and pasture may be permit- ted only with signed permission from the Fire Chief or his designee in the district. WITH LOSS COMES CHANGE Though he never was unable to see his feet, he once was able to bend and lay his hands flat on the floor. Now, after nearly 40 years, he can once again touch his toes, and has a new goal to once again place his hands flat on the floor; only time will tell. Moderate, exercise and changes in his diet, are paying off. People are beginning to see what has yet to become appar- ent to him…he’s losing weight. The time he has spent with the staff at Cimarron Memorial Hospital, and P.A. Bruce Carlton is paying off. He has lost more than 20 pounds in just over a month, and it’s time for some changes in the clothes he wears. He won’t say it has always been easy…but it’s been easier than he had once perceived. —By Laura Hays Orlando, Fla. —South Florida in the spring is known as a popular spot for Major League Baseball team training. Last weekend in Orlando, the Programming Team from Oklah rsity confirmed that their train- ing is second to none. This was no exhibition game—they played to win. The group of stu- dents brought home several na- tional honors from the Associa- tion of Information Technology Professionals (AITP) 16th An- nual National Collegiate Confer- ence. They traveled to Orlando to match their knowledge and critical analysis skills against players from much larger schools and proved OPSU’s talent pool exceeds that of most of their peers. Diane Murphey, the Dean of the School of Busi- ness and Technology, said, “They hit a home run.” Congratulations to Pam Gutierrez and Zane Greene for winning 1st place in the Office Integration contest! Two years ago, they placed in the top 6 of that contest and this year that experience paid off. In this com- petition, students use Microsoft Office to inte across all appli- cations included in the software. Working alone, Josh Armstrong won 2nd place in PC Troubleshooting. After placing in the top 10 with a written exam, he worked on an actual PC to resolve the problem that was presented. The Blake Westbrook and JOSH ARMSTRONG OPSU Programming Team, Josh Armstrong Wins National Honors Klay Kuban duo placed in 2 dif- ferent contests. They won 3rd in Business Intelligence, a com- petition that utilizes geographic information system (GIS) tech- nology and related business analysis skills to address a com- mon business intelligence sce- nario. The pair also won Honor- able Mention in Graphic Com- munications, a contest that evaluates competitors’ abilities in web site design and development.Before the OPSU team even left for Orlando, their Web Application team was cho- sen to present their project be- fore a panel of 5 judges. Only 8 teams in the nation competed, and the OPSU group won Hon- orable Mention. The team cre- ated a new website for The Heritage Community, a not-for- profit entity based in Guymon. In addition to the students listed above, other OPSU stu- dents attending include Kim Tuttle, Lance Shelite, Evan Dye, Jonathan Faulkner, Mert VanFredenberg, Erin Kreie, Ci- cely Behne, and J.B. Test. OPSU graduate, webmaster and continuing student Nick Tuttle also attended. Murphey said, “I am ex- tremely proud of the students on the OPSU Programming Team. They have once again proved that it is not the size of the school, but the quality of the education that matters. They competed with about 450 students from 61 universities from across the United States and came out on top!” By: William Spell On March 26 th five area ath- letes from Boise City competed in Turpin, Oklahoma in the area special Olympics track meet they all tried their best to get the opportunity to make it to state special Olympics summer games. Now they have to com- pete to get to go to state here it does not matter what place you get you get an automatic oppor- tunity if you compete in your event or events. It is up to the athlete whether they want to go to state or not. The four athletes that have decided to go to Stillwater are Todd Waggoner, Rhonda Worm, William Spell, Darryl Perky. They will be leav- ing on May 10 th to head to Stillwater and compete in their events. The events began with the ceremonial walk around the track with all of the athletes and supporters. Followed by the na- tional anthem and then a prayer followed by the events. Every- one I saw there was happy and ready to compete even though it was a really cold day in Turpin that day we braved the elements and competed to the best of our Four area athletes qualify to go to Stillwater in May Events ability. And while people were competing there were people getting lunch ready for the ath- letes of hot dogs and hamburg- ers. Imagine having the job of having to feed pretty much 70 people athletes and coaches and volunteers? And I cannot forget that there were a few players from the OPSU football team and the new OPSU coach was on hand to volunteer their time to help. And there were people there making new friendships and remembering old ones. I would personally like to thank the volunteers; without you things like this would not go as smoothly as it has all this time. And our coaches Shayel, Carol, Dee without you guys volunteer- ing your time we would not have the opportunity to go to state every single year and compete and have a great time. And of course the Panhandle State players and coach for volun- teering your time for us. And I cannot forget the fans. They have supported us a lot and I would like to thank them and we will try our best to bring home first place from state. Rhonda Worm, Darrell Perky, Todd Waggoner, Luis Sandaval and William Spell.

David Information and potential quotes in this article are gleaned from a March 29 Daily Oklaho- man article written by Jay Marks, Copyright 2011, The Oklahoma Publishing Company. An Oklahoma Corporation Administrative Law Judge has yet to rule on Houston’s Clean Line Energy’s bid to build an 800 mile high-voltage transmission line and the right to be called a utility. OG&E, is arguing that Clean Line has no right to be desig- nated a utility. However, as the commission staff wait for a decision, they have also recommended the transmission only utility status. Meanwhile, they are busy at work on regulations just for such companies. Meanwhile, Clean Line’s hired economic expert makes the claim that the project could bring $6 billion in economic gains to the entire state while being built and developed. If approved, the project would kick off in 2013 and com- plete in 2015 ready to be ener- gized. Clean Line’s V.P. for ex- ternal affairs, Jimmie Glotfelty remains optimistic that the ap- plication will be approved, and said the project is “right” for Oklahoma.
