By Marione MartinA man arrested in a domestic distur-

bance later turned in the woman on drug complaints. On March 30 about 5:45 p.m. neighbors contacted the Cherokee Police about a disturbance at 504 W. Main. Of-ficer Tyler Flaherty went to the scene and later called Chief Christopher Ferrell to as-sist.

According to affidavits filed in the case, Flaherty encountered Jonathan Jinks who was yelling at Amber Krueger and Leslea McDonald on the front porch. He described Jinks as going from calm to agi-tated to hostile in short periods of time. He asked Jinks to follow him to his patrol ve-hicle where he talked with him.

Jinks said he went to the residence to talk to Kruger. McDonald answered the door and allowed him inside. He said he found Krueger in a room alone with an-other man which made him angry. He said he went outside and that is when Flaherty

showed up. Officer Flaherty noted an odor of alcohol coming from Jinks who said he had one beer.

Chief Ferrell arrived and watched Jinks while Flaherty went to talk with the women. Krueger said Jinks had not hurt her that day but in the past few days had choked her and made threats. Flaherty told them if Jinks returned, to call the police. He then told Jinks he was not to return and he would be trespassing if he came on the property.

Ask Ferrell and Flaherty stood by their vehicles discussing the situation, they saw Jinks throwing Krueger’s property outside in the yard. They talked to him and told him to make a pile of the items so that Krueger could get them later. They told Jinks that they were leaving but would come back if he had any issues with any-one coming over and harassing him.

The officers decided to stay in the area a while. Flaherty saw Jinks walk around the northeast side of his residence so he drove around the block and found him in be back yard of McDonald’s neighbor.

Jinks was placed under arrest but resisted being handcuffed. He continued to be un-cooperative and rude.

Johnathan Lee Jinks, 33, of Cherokee, has been charged with public intoxication, obstructing an officer and disturbing the peace.

The next day, Jinks said there were il-legal narcotics inside the McDonald resi-dence. Deputy Blake Trekell went to the residence and McDonald gave her con-sent to a search. Several times he had to tell Amber Krueger, who was staying at the residence, to remain outside while he searched. She kept going in and out.

The Cherokee Police Department called to tell Trekell a neighbor saw Krueger run out of the house with a pink purse and hide it in a red Dodge pickup in front of the residence. Trekell asked her about the purse, and Krueger went to the pickup to get it. Inside was a small black zip-up bag containing a glass pipe, two cigarette lighters, one small set of scales,

Domestic disturbance results in charges for two


By Roger McKenzieFinishing out the current school year

and planning for the 2012-13 school year are keeping Cherokee Superintendent Cory Ellis busy. He noted at Monday’s meeting of the Cherokee Public School’s Board of Education that only 27 school days remain in the current school year. He and his staff are busy with a myriad of activities as the year closes down.

Prom, testing, and a special meeting to hear what the school’s auditor, Buddy Carroll, has to say about school finances are all keeping those final days of the school year busy.

Just as important, however, is the work going on for next year. Ellis out-lined a plan to fill anticipated employ-ment needs that could have the district adding as many as four new positions and four unfilled positions. The former would include three instructional teach-ers and a full-time elementary physical education coach.

The latter would allow the district to move physical education into the after-noon and increase academic instruction time in the mornings when students are more attentive.

Ellis has taken into account current large enrollments in such areas as pre-kindergarten and third grade, as well as other anticipated growth areas and projected some needs for the upcoming year.

“We could have a huge kindergar-ten,” Ellis told the board members, cit-ing the large pre-kindergarten enroll-ment and large numbers in the Head

Staff planning for 2012-13 keeping CISD superintendent busy

Start program.He said two kindergarten teachers

will be required if the enrollment reaches 21 or more. Because nothing is certain at this point, he noted that the district will wait until the last minute to decide how to allocate teachers in this area.

That fact, coupled with the possi-bility of having to move some teach-ers around, makes hiring teachers with multiple accreditations vital, he told the board members. Right now, music, busi-ness, and speech positions are unfilled.

Because of the anticipated expan-sion, Ellis said, “We’re going to go in this summer and put back some tempo-rary walls where we took them out.”

He also projected two positions that he’d like to add to help improve academ-ic success at the school.

Ellis said he would like to add a full-time administrator for the rapidly grow-ing elementary school and an early inter-vention specialist in reading and math. The specialist would help improved out-comes in those areas and could be sub-sidized with federal funds. Time would be added into the schedule to allow stu-dents needing intervention to be pulled out of class to get the needed help.

The teacher he has in mind for the intervention specialist is one of the dis-trict’s first grade teachers, so if the po-sition is approved, another first grade teacher will have to be hired.

Two second and fourth grade teach-ers will be needed. In addition, two po-sitions may needed for history or social studies since Ellis is expecting an resig-

nation and a reduction in another teach-er’s time.

In some other areas, Supt. Ellis re-ported the district will resume its Na-tional Certified Teachers’ program next year, since the state has reinstated fund-ing. The state has also made it easier for schools to allow the public to use their recreation facilities. Adult supervision will still be used, he stressed.

The school’s accreditation audit has been completed and he warned the dis-trict will probably get a deficiency for not having a certified high school prin-cipal. However, the deficiency will be cured when Principal Jeremy Hickman completes current certification work.

The district will also have to provide some healthier alternatives in its vend-ing machines and make sure all bus driv-ers have DMV reports done.

Treasurer’s and Activity reportsSupt. Ellis presented the Treasurer’s

Report. He noted the district is doing well, with $315,000 in the General Fund through March. Gross production rev-enues and sales tax revenues are up and will continue for a while, according to Ellis.

The Activity Fund had enough in the appropriate account to pay for all of the seniors’ caps and gowns. The budget for Prom is on schedule. A new baseball scoreboard will be installed soon thanks to the generosity of Farmers Exchange Bank.

Executive SessionAn executive session was held to

discuss and vote on coaching and other extra duty assignments for 2012-13. All teachers currently with such assign-ments were approved for assignments next year, but the actual assignments were not listed. They will be decided at a later date.

Marvin and Elsie Shipley will cel-ebrate their 60th wedding anniversary by going to Branson, Missouri for a few days.

By Yvonne MillerSouth Barber’s Board of Educa-

tion met Monday night for their regular March meeting. They made changes in the vocal department and discussed the proposed drug testing policy.

Board President Kent Swartz presid-ed over the meeting with the following members present: Jeff Black, Deborah Helfrich, Dana Roark, Janet Robison and Michael Anderson. Bob Schrock was absent. Superintendent Brad Morris and board clerk Julie Johnson also sat at the board table.

As K-12 vocal teacher Carla Mitchel of Alva plans to retire, she submitted her resignation which the board accepted.

The board hired Kiley (Rieger) Feely, a native of Burlington, as K-12 vocal teacher for the 2012-13 school year. She and her husband Shane have three sons, two of whom attend Burling-ton School. They are Jackson, 2nd grade; Hudson, kindergarten; and Lincoln who is not yet in school.

Kiley comes to South Barber with nine years experience after teach-ing music at Buffalo and Okeene. The Feelys returned to Burlington last July. Shane works for Sandridge Energy as Frac Water Resources Manager.

Kiley graduated from NWOSU where she was Miss Northwestern in 2001. She was Miss Burlington in 1996 and graduated in 1997. In 2008 she was diagnosed with lymphoma and has been in remission 2 ½ years.

She’s “enjoyed” staying home with

her boys and said it is perfect timing that son Lincoln starts school next fall.

“I feel refreshed and ready to get back into the classroom” Kiley said.

Proposed Drug Testing Policy Discussed

The proposed Drug Testing Policy was presented to the board who dis-cussed details for about 30 minutes. PK-6 Principal Marcia Cantrell is a li-aison between the school board and site council. Earlier in the school year, board members directed Cantrell to work with the site council to draft a drug testing policy.

Board members reviewed the draft, asking many questions and considering numerous scenarios with the proposed policy in place. Cantrell said the draft is a culmination of policies from numer-ous towns.

Copies of the proposal are avail-able to view at the superintendent’s office. The board said they would like some feedback from the public on this proposal. Cantrell will take the board’s questions back to the site council who meets next Monday at 5 p.m. Then the subject will again appear on the board’s May meeting agenda.

Superintendent Updates on Improvements and Finance

Superintendent Morris said the new Ipads arrived and Technology Director Luke McKinney is setting them up with passwords and apps. Interested board members can experiment with the Ipads a few days then they’ll go to the school

sites for teacher’s use. He said new computers are ordered

to replace all elementary teacher’s com-puters and some at the high school. McKinney is also replacing the cad lab in the industrial technology room. Mor-ris said computer labs throughout the district are up-to-date for the moment in the ever-changing world of technology.

In the next month some aesthetic im-provements will begin at the SB District Office on Main Street. That includes painting walls; new furniture in the re-ception area; storage cabinets in the workroom; new superintendent desk; and possibly new carpet and flooring in the workroom.

“We still don’t know about our (school) finances,” Morris told the board regarding what legislators will decide.

The superintendent said there are still four or five options legislators are considering. He said the Kansas State Department of Education budget is some $25 million short – due in part to higher student enrollment statewide than expected; and more at-risk money going out statewide.

A good scenario would be the pos-sible legislative option $74 increase per student for two years. A not-so-good option is a reduction of $40 per student that could affect this year’s budget.

The legislature starts again April 25 to make decisions.

Other SB Board BusinessThe district calendar for the 2012-

13 school year received approval. First Day of School, Aug 28; Parent/Teacher Conferences Nov 1 and 2 (no school on 2nd); Thanksgiving Break, Nov 21-23; Christmas Break starts Dec 20, Classes Resume Jan 3; Spring Break, March 18-22; Easter Break, Friday March 29, Monday Apr 1; Last Day of School May 17.

Morris said the new calendar gives the district 1170 hours of school with seven built-in snow days. He said that’s a good cushion because a year ago they used many snow days and they were close on the number of required hours. This school year they used no snow days.

By Marione MartinA traffic stop on March 30 resulted

in several charges. About 9:30 p.m. Alfalfa County Deputy Blake Trekell saw a pickup turn out of a driveway on Highway 58 about a mile and a half south of the Hwy 64 and Hwy 58 junction. After traveling north, the pickup signaled an intention to pull to the right side of the highway, the driver then signaled a left turn crossing the center line. Deputy Trekell pulled the vehicle over and ran the license of the driver Clinton J. Horner. He found Horner’s license was suspended. Trekell asked if there was anything illegal inside the pickup, and Horner

said no and gave permission to search his vehicle. Trekell found a plastic tube about four inches long and ¾ inches wide containing a clear plastic baggy of a white crystal substance he believed to be methamphetamine. Horner said it was a “scrape bag of meth” and that he didn’t remember it was in the pickup. He also said the pipe was left at a friend’s house. Horner was also unable to produce insurance verification.

Clinton John Horner, 31, Cherokee, has been charged with unlawful possession of a controlled dangerous drug, driving while license is under suspension, and failure to carry insurance verification.

By Roger McKenzieA routine meeting of the Alfalfa

County commissioners on Monday was short. Bids for an excavator for District 2 will be sought, after approval by the commissioners. The machine will be used for a variety of purposes such as pulling trees, digging ditches, loading trucks, and in the construction of bridg-es.

A variety of miscellaneous items from the Alfalfa County Assessor’s of-fice was approved to be tossed out. The items are outdated, even antiquated, not in working condition. Because of that, there will be no auction. The computers

and other electronic devices are destined to be destroyed to make sure private in-formation is unobtainable from them.

Twenty-five road crossing permits, for a total of $13,500 in fees, were ap-proved/ District 1 had 12 for a total of $7,000. District 2 also had 12 permits, totaling $6,000. District 3 had one per-mit, totaling $500.

In other business, the commission-ers approved minutes of their previous meeting with one change. The change, proposed by Commissioner Chad Roach, struck out language that Roach felt made it appear as if the commission-ers were defying the state auditor’s of-

fice when they moved to take all of an IRS late penalty from the county’s Gen-eral Fund rather than split it between the General Fund and the County Road Fund.

“That’s not the case,” said Roach. “We got a second opinion.”

The commissioners also approved maintenance and operations warrants, blanket purchase orders, and miscella-neous officers’ reports.

An agenda item listing Bud Jackson as speaking to discuss updating equip-ment for Carmen Rescue was not part of the meeting since Jackson made no appearance.

Alfalfa County to let bids for Dist. 2 excavator

By Donald StottsAlfalfa County’s Doug McMurtrey

has been named a 2012 Master Agrono-mist by Oklahoma State University’s Di-vision of Agricultural Sciences and Natu-ral Resources.

The award was initiated in 1947 and recognizes Oklahoma producers who actively participate in agronomic educa-tion programs and contribute valuable public service through their efforts in soil conservation, range management or crop production.

“Doug McMurtrey has been a cooper-ating partner with division scientists and OSU Cooperative Extension specialists and educators for 13 years, helping to make official OSU agronomic recom-mendations for the area as accurate as humanly possible,” said Hailin Zhang, interim head of the OSU Department of Plant and Soil Sciences.

The ability to make accurate recom-mendations is enhanced by OSU be-ing able to conduct research on specific growing conditions for an area of the

state, often on the land of Oklahoma pro-ducers who donate resources for variety trials.

A cow-calf producer as well as a farm-er, McMurtrey’s crop production system includes wheat, grain sorghum, soybeans, alfalfa and a variety of cover crops during fallow periods. He has hosted a number of OSU grain sorghum and soybean per-formance trials on his operation.

“Mr. McMurtrey has been a county leader in the adoption of no-till practices, and he was one of the first cooperators to allow OSU Cooperative Extension spe-cialists to utilize the rainmaker machines to evaluate the effects of a simple rain-drop and how damaging those raindrops can be when they come during a time

By Yvonne MillerKiowa’s City Council met just over

three hours Monday night for their regu-lar April meeting. Topics on the two-and-a-half page agenda ranged from feral cats and emergency management preparedness, to allowing single wide manufactured homes in town at loca-tions beyond designated trailer parks.

Mayor Brandon Farney presided over the meeting with councilmen pres-ent including: Brian Hill, Russel Molz, Brandon Poland and Mark Lambert. Bill Watson was absent. City Administrator Nathan Law also sat at the table with City Attorney Laurel McClellan and City Clerk Marlo Rugg.

The Railroad Crossing on the west side of Main Street closed for repairs Tuesday. BNSF said the track repairs should be complete by Thursday. Follow the detour signs to the north.

To Allow or Not Allow Single Wide Manufactured Homes?

The subject of whether or not to al-low single wide manufactured homes to be set in locations around Kiowa other than the parks designated for them was a hot topic at the meeting.

If a MH or RV needs a temporary permit it’s $50. If a MH is for permanent residency there is a standard building permit process and fee.

As Law told council last meeting, the way the rules and regs are written single wides could only be in a park or camp-ground. The administrator had several

requests to park single wides elsewhere with all the oil companies in town. Law said until council made some changes he couldn’t write those permits.

Molz said, “If we turn them down repeatedly, they’ll go somewhere else – they already are.”

Mayor Farney said, “The city can only benefit from the oil boom if we house ‘em and feed ‘em. That’s it.” He supports measures to make that happen.

Poland was emphatic about protect-ing property values for when the oil boom traffic leaves the community.

Lambert said he feels the restrictions “will hinder anything coming in to Ki-owa.”

Following lots more discussion, fi-nally Lambert moved to approve Ordi-nance No. 392 which allows single wide MH in places other than parks or camp-grounds.

The motion almost died for lack of a second. Finally Hill seconded it. It passed with Poland casting the single no vote.

Then council passed a motion to change the zoning laws to allow for the single wides. Again Poland voted against. Much More City of Kiowa Business
