Alva sales tax election proposition passes

An overwhelming majority of 78.8 percent of Alva voters cast favorable votes in the special sales tax election

Tuesday. The proposition was to repur-pose the 1.25 percent sales tax already in existence so that excess not used in paying off bonds for recent remodeling could be used for operations and mainte-nance expenses at Share Hospital. A to-tal of 798 people voted with 629 in favor and 169 against in the unofficial results from the Woods County Election Board.


By Yvonne MillerThe agenda was not lengthy for the

South Barber Board of Education Mon-day night, but the subject of the school’s grading scale in comparison to that of other schools and a level playing field again sparked discussion among board members. Principals reported on student accomplishments and more.

Board President Steve Allen presid-ed over the meeting with all members present, including Jeff Black, Deb Hel-frich, Dooli Rugg, Dana Roark, Mark Pollock and Mike Anderson. Superin-tendent Brad Morris also sat at the board table with board clerk Julie Johnson.

Pre-K-6 Principal Marcia Cantrell reported on the site council meeting where some parents had researched the grading scale. Cantrell said a parent had surveyed 10 to 15 parents who are not in favor of an eight-point grade scale.

South Barber has an eight-point scale which is: A=93-100, B=85-92, C=77-84, D=69-76, F=0-68.

Some board and site council mem-bers favor a 10-point grading scale, which they said more schools have and would put South Barber on a more equal playing field when it comes to scholar-ships, admittance applications, extra-curricular eligibility, etc. If changed, the grading scale would be for 7-12 stu-dents.

The 10-point grade school is: A=90-100, B=80-89, C=70-79, D=60-69, F=Below 60.

Pollock brought the item to the agen-da. Allen said he favors acquiring more information and case studies to give South Barber students equality with those from other schools. He would like the site council to further review the grading scale and make a recommenda-tion to the board for their consideration.

Anderson said he wants a compari-son for students’ ACT scores and grade point averages. He had examples of stu-dents losing scholarship money because of the current grading scale.

As she has previously, Helfrich voiced her opposition to changing from an 8-point to 10-point scale.

“I see no reason to lower our expec-tations,” Helfrich said. She added that, “We need to rise up to meet our expec-tations.”

Roark said with the current grading scale, “Not only the top end is getting ripped off with their A+. They don’t get any credit for it, yet they lose credit for an A-. It’s the bottom end that lose also.” She said it’s college admissions, scholarship applications and also extra-curricular activities in college that are affected.

“We’ve got to be on an even scale with our league, district and state.

We’ve got to be level with them,” Roark said for fairness to South Barber kids.

Helfrich said, “Academic perfor-mance is far more important.”

Allen cut the conversation off at that point and sent it back to site council.Superintendent Report on Potential Capital Outlay Projects and More

Superintendent Morris reported on a number of maintenance items. He gave board members a list of potential capital outlay projects. He wants them to re-view and prioritize for next spring.

Some of those are: plumbing issues at the grade school, high school parking lot, roof at the central office, a breeze-way between main high school building and vo-ag building. vehicle replace-ment, grade school landscaping, high school fire alarm upgrade, and many more items.

Board BusinessThe board approved current bills of

$333,213.63.Establishment of a mud route for the

Hardtner bus route received approval. Activation of the route will be at the bus driver’s discretion.

The board discussed a tractor/mower lease. However, the board plans to seek more bids since they had only received one.

Lynn Says

Very new, very clever credit card scam By Lynn L. Martin

I did not write the following piece. It was sent to me by a friend.

This one could easily slip by most anyone – beware of people bearing gifts. The following is a re-counting of the inci-dent from the victim:

Wednesday a week ago, I had a phone call from someone saying that

he was from some outfit called “Express Couriers” (the name could have been anything). He asked if I was going to be home because there was a package deliv-ery for me that required a signature.

The caller said that the delivery would arrive at my home in roughly an hour and, sure enough, about an hour later a uniformed delivery man turned up with a beautiful basket of flowers and

wine. I was very surprised since it did not involve any special occasion or holiday, and I certainly didn’t expect anything like it. Intrigued about who had sent me such a gift, I inquired as to who the send-er was.

The deliveryman’s reply was, he was only delivering the gift package, but al-legedly a card was being sent separately (the card has never arrived). There was also a consignment note with the gift.

He then went on to explain that be-cause the gift contained alcohol, there was a $3.50 “delivery/verification charge,” providing proof that he had ac-tually delivered the package to an adult of legal drinking age and not just left it on the doorstep where it could be stolen or taken by anyone, especially a minor.

This sounded logical and I offered to pay him cash. He then said that the de-livery company required payment to be by credit or debit card only so that ev-erything is properly accounted for, and this would help in keeping a legal record of the transaction. He added couriers not needing to carry a bunch of cash would make them less likely targets for robbery.

My husband, who by this time was standing beside me, pulled his wallet out of his pocket with the credit/debit card, and ‘John,’ the “delivery man,” asked my husband to swipe his card on a small mo-bile card machine. It had a small screen and keypad where Frank was also asked to enter the card’s PIN and security num-ber. A receipt was printed out and given

to us as our copy of the transaction. He then said everything was in order, and wished us good day.

To our horrible surprise, between Thursday and the following Monday, $4,000 had been charged/withdrawn from our credit/debit account at various ATM machines.

It appeared that somehow the “mo-bile credit card machine” that the deliv-eryman carried now had all the info nec-essary to create a “dummy” card with all our card details after my husband swiped our card and entered the requested PIN and security number.

Upon finding out about the illegal transactions on our card, we immediately notified the bank, which issued us a new card, and our credit/debit account was closed.

We also personally went to the police, where it was confirmed that it is definite-ly a scam because several households had been similarly hit.

WARNING: Be wary of accepting any surprise gift or package that you neither expected nor personally ordered, especially if it involves any kind of pay-ment as a condition of receiving the gift or package. Also, never accept anything if you do not personally know or there is no proper identification of who the sender is.

Above all, the only time you should give out any personal credit/debit card information is when you yourself initi-ated the purchase or transaction!


By Bethany MorfordHi. My name is Bethany Morford

and I am a member of the Gyp Hill Pioneers 4-H Club. I come from a 4-H family and I am the youngest of seven children. This year was unique, because I am the only child still in high school

and therefore the only Morford kid left in our club. The advantage to that was that my mother’s attention was not di-vided when I needed help!

My mom is a teacher as well as a 4-H leader, and my dad is a police of-ficer. 4-H is an important part of our family, and it does bring lots of good family time along with some very stressful times! I know that I would not learn all these skills and spend as much time with my parents working on them if I were not a 4-H member. I am also very involved in my school and com-munity. My junior year in high school was a great year, and I participated in volleyball, choir, school play, foren-sics, softball and several clubs. I love my church and enjoy the youth group, which is very active.

As I pause from the busyness of life to write this story, many memo-ries flood my mind. I have had several new experiences this year in addition to all the usual events, and it has been another year of growing, learning and molding me into the person I have be-come. Our 4-H year started off with a picnic on 4-H Sunday, followed by of-ficer installation and our meeting. I was installed as the president of our club for the first time this past year, offering me a new learning experience! It is a chal-lenge to keep the club meetings flowing smoothly and in order all the time, but

it was an honor to serve in that office and it stretched me as a person. I also signed up for several committees and as a project leader for Foods levels l and 2 and junior project leader for photogra-phy. To help me prepare for leadership this year, I attended the officer training in Pratt, Kan., which was very informa-tive.

November is always a busy month for 4-H. I attended the achievement banquet, with lots of good food to eat and lots of awards given out! I was sur-prised to be awarded the second place senior 4-H Story prize! Then, I had the delightful experience of attending Kan-sas Youth Leadership Forum for the first time ever. I was with a very fun group of people, and the workshops were awesome. I especially liked the Health Rocks class and I learned a lot about personal ways to be healthy, as well as club activities to promote healthy liv-ing habits. The final event in November was our annual Thanksgiving supper and club meeting. I was the chairman of the committee to plan the event. This involves deciding on the menu, and then assigning each family what to bring and what the club will provide. We also like to decorate the tables and make it a special event. All of the club members and their families and guests enjoyed the evening very much. This is the time we donate food to our local food bank for a community service.

My 11th year of 4-H is going down in history!

Bethany Morford has participated in 4-H for eleven years and was honored at the Annual 4-H Achievement Ban-quet on Nov. 2.

Divorcing parents are often faced with many new problems during this difficult time for the entire family. Al-though their marriage is ending, their role as parents continues through their lives. To help make this transition easier, Northwest Family Services staff mem-ber Nicole Martens, M.S., LPC will be teaching their Parenting Through Sepa-ration and Divorce class Monday night, Nov. 18.

The class will be in Fairview from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Northwest Technology Center southwest of Fairview. To enroll, please call 580-744-1248. Participants must pre-enroll; the class will be can-celed if there is inadequate pre-enroll-ment. Class costs $30 per person.

This class was designed at the re-quest of the courts to help divorcing couples understand the problems their children may experience during and af-ter a divorce or separation. It will fulfill the court order for all divorcing parents. Parents will learn skills to parent coop-eratively even though they are divorced.

In the class, parents will learn how to effectively communicate with their children and former spouse. They will practice reflective listening skills and study various active communication techniques and non-verbal communica-tions. They will also practice workable negotiation styles for dealing with con-flict and rules for effective expressions.

Recognizing and avoiding Pain Games is another topic of consideration. Parents will learn to recognize and cease games like I-Spy, Set-up and Wishbone, which are likely to hurt the children. Class members will also discuss various options for parenting, such as joint cus-tody and mediation.

The theme of this year’s contest is “Why I’m Op-timistic About Our Nation’s Future.” Here Miller shares her speech at the local VFW Veterans Day dinner and also presented it at the community Veterans Day program at SBHS. Miller started her speech with these words: “I believe in American excep-tionalism – that the United States of America is the greatest nation in the world because it was founded on a be-lief in God and a love of freedom and democracy. I truly believe there are enough Americans who still believe in the American Dream like my great-grandfather (a World War I veteran) did. That’s why I’m optimistic about our nation’s future.” Her entry moves on to the district level. Photo by Yvonne Miller

By Lynn L. MartinThe Alfalfa County commissioners

spent most of their short meeting passing documents to each other for signatures. These documents included bills for pay-ment and blanket purchase orders.

They voted to solicit bids for a load-er for Toby Walker’s District #3. They also agreed to go out for bids on the six-month bids list.

Commissioner Toby Walker was des-ignated as the board member for NODA of Enid. Northern Oklahoma Develop-ment Authority is an organization de-signed to help local goverment entites to work together.

The three commissioners approved a private property access easement to re-move dirt from the property at NE 1/4 3-25-9, an old railroad right of way, and put in the roadway.

A change order for dirt work on the new fairgrounds building, previously ap-proved several weeks ago, was signed.

They also signed on with an engi-neering firm, Guernsey, to oversee and handle all the paper work and oversight

of heat/air and generator installation at the court houe. The fee will likely be around $185,000.

The last week in October, the Alva FFA livestock judging team headed to Kentucky for a trip they will always re-member. The team qualified last spring to represent Oklahoma in the National FFA Livestock Evaluation Contest held in Louisville, Ky., Oct 28 through Nov 2. The team members – Kory Dietz, Tan-ner Burton, Courtney Mapes and Traci Owen – traveled over 1,100 miles to the competition with judging coach Randy Nation. On the journey to Kentucky the team enjoyed seeing all the colorful fall leaves and also the view from inside the St. Louis arch.

Once arriving in Kentucky, the Alva FFA team began a busy week. Melissa

Dunkel, CDE (career development event) FFA education specialist, stated that the during the livestock evaluation contest “FFA members are challenged to evaluate marketable stock based on current business and industry standards, while developing solid technical and business skills needed to excel their cho-sen profession.” Livestock evaluation is one of 25 CDEs covering job skills and everything from communication to me-chanics.

The Alva team participated in vari-ous team activities that helped them think critically, communicate clearly and perform effectively in a competitive job market. On the second day of the contest the four-member team evaluated classes of breeding and market beef,

sheep, swine and goats. They then pro-vided oral reasons based on their selec-tions.

An awards breakfast was held for all 50 teams participating in the National Livestock Evaluation Contest. The Alva chapter representing the state of Okla-homa was excited to be recognized as the fourth place team in the nation. Team member Kory Dietz received the fourth place high individual winner of the con-test.

As we returned home from this un-forgettable trip, we must take time and thank the wonderful community of Alva for all the support they gave us while we prepared for the experience. We are very lucky to have such support from busi-nesses, past FFA members, family and friends. We were very proud to represent the state of Oklahoma.

By Colton BudyThe Waynoka FFA combined their

monthly meeting with a little Halloween fun. The meeting was held on Oct. 29 at 6 p.m. The meeting portion covered many updates and upcoming events. Draven Smith reported on the Tulsa State Fair, Tatum Rose on the livestock judging team and Colton Budy on the PI Green Hand/opening and closing ceremonies competition. Mr. Huizar re-minded everyone about the fundraiser products coming in on Nov. 4. He also updated members on the purchase of a school trailer with funds from a grant. The FFA has many upcoming events that include the OPSU Interscholastic, AFR Speech Contest, Christmas Party with the FCCLA and the Teddy Bear Drive.

Once the business was over the fun began. Many FFA members came in costume including rodeo clowns and a younger version of Mr. Huizar. Then each officer assembled a team for the scavenger hunt. The teams were asked to solve riddles and were timed to see which team could solve them the fastest. It was a fun yet productive evening that got members involved.

Halloween FFA meetingBy Colton Budy

The Tulsa State Fair was the first of October and Waynoka had four FFA members and one 4-H member participating. Nathan Pitts showed three broiler chickens in the Junior Market Broiler Show. He placed fifth overall. Draven Smith and Taylor Trennepohl helped Nathan show them.

Kelby Reed showed crossbred market lambs. Kelby placed fifth and sixth in his

classes and made the premium sale. Only 45 sheep out of the entire show made the sale. Taylor Trennepohl showed a speckle faced market lamb.

Showing goats were Hannah Darr, Taylor Trennepohl and Draven Smith. Taylor placed fifth in her class. Draven was third and made the premium sale. Only 30 in the entire goat show made the premium sale. We are proud of these members and their hard work.

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklaho-ma Highway Patrol (OHP) has seen an increase in the number of car collisions with animals in recent days. State troop-ers have responded to several crashes throughout the state and officials want to remind motorists of the dangers as-sociated with driving during this time of year.

“With cooler temperatures, we have

seen an increase in wildlife movement around state roadways. Our goal is to remind motorists to use caution when driving, especially in rural areas,” stated OHP Captain George Brown.

Department officials want to remind drivers to remain cognizant of the pos-sibility of animals running onto the road-way. Some of the best ways to reduce in-jury in collisions with wildlife is to obey speed restrictions and wear safety belts at all times. Drivers should also scan ar-eas for animals near the roadway as part of their safe defensive driving routine.

If you become involved in a crash, be sure to maintain “situational aware-ness” and reposition your vehicle in a safe location near the scene, such as an improved shoulder. Activate your ve-hicle’s hazard lights and call 911 or *55 on your mobile phone. A trooper will be dispatched to your location to assist in reporting.

OHP sees spike in car-animal crashes

By Sterling RectorI did a lot of the same projects like

meat goat and arts and crafts, but I also tried a new one: woodworking. Since my dad teaches woods in school I had a

good leader. I decided to build a locker shelf that I could use at school. I was too young to use the power saws but I did get to use the electric sander. I also had to make plugs to cover the screws. I got to paint my shelf my favorite color: turquoise. It was fun getting to do a project with my dad because most of the time my brothers get to do these kinds of projects with my dad.

Another goal I accomplished this year was to get a Top Blue at 4-H Days with my project talk. The last two years I got a Top Blue and I would be a little disappointed if I did not get one again. I practiced a lot in front of my mirror and my family. My parents tried to reassure me that I just needed to do my best but I really wanted to make it to regionals. My hard work paid off and I went to Kinsley, Kan., for regionals. At region-als the judge asked me questions and I wasn’t ready for that. I learned that an-swers need to be more than one word. I did get a blue and was happy with that.

My favorite project is arts and crafts. At our project meetings we all make the

same thing, but I like making mine a little different by being creative. I re-ally enjoyed making my tie-dye shirt, but I wish I would have used more color to make it brighter. I even tried to make my own project at home by painting tin cans red, white and blue for the fourth of July. I learned that modge podging the whole can makes it look shinier. At the county fair the judge thought it would be a good idea to paint the inside of my cans also.

Another new project I tried this year is leadership. The most important les-son I learned is that I can be a leader anywhere. I can be a leader at school by respecting the teachers and rules. I can be a leader at basketball practice by stopping what I am doing and listening. I could be a leader while serving as an officer by having integrity and doing not just saying. I can be a leader by working at the recycling center and us-ing my strengths.

This year in 4-H has been a lot of hard work. I like that my family works together to get everything done.

This was my third year in 4-H

Sterling Rector has participated in 4-H for three years and was honored at the Annual 4-H Achievement Ban-quet on Nov. 2.

By Sean MurphyOKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The

U.S. Secretary of Defense on Monday confirmed the death of U.S. Sen. Jim In-hofe’s son, 52-year-old Dr. Perry Inhofe, who was killed in a weekend plane crash in northeast Oklahoma.

Col. Steve Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, said that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel “was informed of Sen. In-hofe’s son’s death.”

Perry Inhofe, an orthopedic surgeon, died when the small plane he was pilot-ing crashed Sunday crash near Owasso, a Tulsa suburb.

“My thoughts and prayers are with Jim and Kay and their family as they mourn this terrible loss,” Hagel said in a statement Monday. He added that the entire Department of Defense supports the Inhofe family and has “enduring ap-preciation for all they do on behalf of our military.”

Perry Inhofe, who worked at Central States Orthopedics in Tulsa, was one of four children of Oklahoma’s senior U.S. senator. He earned his undergraduate degree from Duke University in 1984 and graduated from medical school at Washington University in St. Louis, according to the clinic’s website. Tele-phone messages left Monday at Inhofe’s clinic weren’t immediately returned.

The married father lived in Tulsa.The multiengine plane was headed

to Tulsa International Airport when it crashed shortly before 4 p.m. on Sunday about 5 miles north of the airport, ac-cording to the Federal Aviation Admin-istration. The plane had taken off from Salina, Kan.

Jake Bray told the Tulsa World newspaper that he saw the crash from about 400 yards away, saying one pro-peller appeared to be out before “it start-ed spiraling out of control and it hit the

ground.”Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill

John Baker said in a statement Monday night that he extends “sincere condo-lences” to Sen. Inhofe, his wife and the rest of the family.

“There is no greater heartbreak for a parent than the loss of a child,” he said.

Jim Inhofe, 79, has been a pilot for more than 50 years and owns several planes. The Republican is known for fly-ing to campaign stops across the state.

In an interview earlier this year with General Aviation News, the senator said he taught his son Perry to fly in the family’s 1954 Grumman Tiger and that the tradition was passed on to Perry In-hofe’s 16-year-old son, Cole, who made his first landing in September at an air show in Wisconsin.

A tail number provided by the Na-tional Transportation and Safety Board shows that the plane Perry Inhofe was flying Sunday was a 1974 Mitsubishi MU-2B-25, a fixed-wing, multi-engine aircraft. The same model has come un-der increased scrutiny in recent years from the FAA after statistics showed a rising rate of accidents involving the plane. As a result, the agency developed a new comprehensive standardized pilot training program for the aircraft in 2008.
