By Marione MartinAlfalfa County law enforcement was

notified by a citizen Feb. 13 that a van was stopped in the middle of the SH-38 and SH-11 junction and a man was standing in the road. When asked to move out of the road, the man cursed and tipped up a gallon bottle of vodka, finished it and threw it in the ditch, according to affidavits on file at the courthouse. The man then drove the van north on County Road 720.

OHP Troopers Rick Wallace and Brock Morgan were contacted to

investigate. Wallace found the van just north of Kay Road. It was partially in a pasture and partially in the east ditch and had been rolled. He saw a man walking in the middle of the road and waving his arms.

Wallace ordered the man to his knees three times, but he did not comply. He was extremely unsteady on his feet, waving his arms and turning in a circle. Wallace wrote that he detected a strong odor of alcohol about the man and he restrained him by his back and arm.

The two troopers handcuffed the man, identified as Alfred Nyaboga Obiero, 26, of Manchester. Wallace contacted the owner of the van Tressie Folger who said Obiero had hit her granddaughter, Sonja Kiwia, 29, with a tire iron.

Morgan had spoken with a man who gave a ride to Folger when the van was

in the ditch prior to the accident, and he said she told him Obiero had been beating her.

When Wallace tried to talk to Obiero, read him the implied consent test request and read him the Miranda Warning. During that time and the ride to the sheriff’s office, Obiero repeatedly cursed the trooper, called him names and threatened him verbally.

Morgan stayed at the scene and found a 1 gallon vodka bottle and a tire iron jack handle.

Sheriff’s Deputy Blake Trekell talked to Kiwia who said she and Obiero had been to Cherokee for her doctor’s appointment. On the way home, the van quit, and she called her grandmother, Folger, for a ride. Folger was unable to come at that time so Kiwia got a ride from a passer-by to take her back to the house. She said Obiero had hit her on the arm.

Obiero has been charged in Alfalfa County District Court with felony DUI, domestic abuse subsequent offense, misdemeanor assault & battery on a peace officer, and operating a motor vehicle without a valid driver’s license.

In addition, Tressie Lucille Folger has filed a protective order against him.

Trip to the doctor turns into trip to jail

On Monday, Feb. 27, Dr. James Bell will present the third novel in the Friends of the Library spring book dis-cussions. “Books, services, and other materials for the series are provided by Let’s Talk About It, Oklahoma, a project of the Oklahoma Humanities Council with funding from the National Endow-ment for the Humanities and the Inas-much Foundation.”

Dr. Bell has just returned from Albu-querque, N.M., where he presented a pa-per at the Southwest Texas Popular Cul-ture Association. On Monday, Bell will provide insight to Turtle Diary, a novel by Russell Hoban. Recorded through the journals of two very different indi-viduals brought together by a common goal—to free the turtles—the novel re-cords a moving story.

The presentation begins at 7 p.m. in the Alva Public Library auditorium, followed by refreshments and audience discussion. Books are available at the library.

By Lynn L. MartinFreedom Supt. Richard Gleave said

results of a new survey distributed to school patrons asking if they wished to continue the four-day school week had 12 replies. All but one preferred to con-tinue the four-day week.

As required by law, the board con-sidered an agenda item to reorganize themselves. The same group of officers was approved with Joe Jessup serving as president, Share Morris as vice presi-dent; and Jan Eden as clerk.

Principal’s ReportPrincipal Charla Gleave provided her

report. She said Steve Foster of Woods

County conducted an examination of the storm shelter and reported it usable. Fos-ter and Supt. Richard Gleave discussed better weatherization because of water leakage problems. At the present time, the roof pools water when it rains. This summer, the district will install a peaked roof to eliminate the problem.

Charlage Gleave said the school is administering a variety of reading tests to children. Teachers will meet with the parents of children having problems. Also, the district is planning to imple-ment a ”Reading Friends” volunteer program where adults come and read to the children. She said she had several volunteer readers already.

Twelve students of the district along with two sponsors attended FFA at the State Capital Day Monday, February 20th.

The Local and County Stock Shows are February 23-25. The district show runs from March 2 – 9.

Mrs. Gleave said 22 students and sponsors of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes attended the Thunder Basket-ball game in Oklahoma and had a great time. She said the game had an overtime period so it was particularly exciting.

The Foreign Exchange Student Rep-resentative contacted the Superintendent and students are already being placed for the 2012-2013 school year.

In a matter relating to this year’s Foreign Exchange Students, the board accepted a plan to co-op soccer athletes with the Alva Public Schools. Supt. Gleave said the Woodward Schools turned down a similar request.

The information about the Miss Freedom contest has been distributed

Results of survey on 4-day school at Freedomto junior class girls. The pageant will be held the last week of August.

Superintendent’s ReportThe deadline for selecting a vendor

for Teacher Evaluation software is April 16, 2012. The three vendors being con-sidered are Danielson, Marzano and the Tulsa Model. Gleave predicted the board will need to make a decision at the March 2012 meeting. The system may be used next year, but cannot be used to remove an under-performing teacher un-til a year later.

Schools will be required to provide an on-line curriculum by 2012-13. Supt. Gleave said the E2020 software is gain-ing popularity around the State. Another vendor being considered is Odyssey Ware. He mentioned the Northwest Tech Center is planning a day where vendors will have one-hour each to promote their software.

The Superintendent said he is con-tinuing to attend meetings to learn about the Common Core State Standards and how to transition from the present PASS/ACE curriculum.

He mentioned that many educators are concerned after Governor Mary Fall-in talked of eliminating the State Income Tax. He said this proposal would take around $715 million dollars out of the state budget. Educators are wondering how that will be replaced. The governor said closing some loop-holes and also attracting new business to Oklahoma should do the job.

Both the State and the Freedom School district are losing some revenue because of the fall in natural gas pric-es. The budget was set estimating gas at $4.00 per MMBTU and it is now at $2.41. Gleave said the district enjoyed a terrific July gross production revenues, but every month since then has been down. So far, the district has collected $20,780 less than last year.

One of the Freedom School’s Sub-urban vehicles was damaged while run-ning a route by two deer running into the side of it. Repair work is currently being done.

In good news, the drop-out report for the 2010-11 year was approved by the board. There were no elementary school dropouts or high school dropouts.

By Lynn L. MartinIt is probably accurate to say that

the Alva Review-Courier/Newsgram posts more video online than any other newspaper in the state including the state’s largest newspapers. It is not uncommon for us to post up to five separate videos in a single day.

The reason I mention this is the

newspaper struggles to maintain enough disk storage to keep these videos avail-able for a reasonable time. Our stor-age needs are nothing compared to the worldwide YouTube service. A recent Time Magazine article reported viewers upload 60 hours of video to YouTube ev-ery minute of the day. That’s eight years of viewing time uploaded every single day.


Lynn Says

YouTube and copyright problemsA bit of history: YouTube was

founded in 2005 by three ex-PayPal em-ployees: Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim. The beta version of the site was launched in May 2005. You-Tube is now owned by Google.

There are hundreds of millions of us-ers of YouTube. I’ve always wondered how YouTube can continue without free-ing of disc storage space. Apparently, YouTube never deletes videos. They may remove them from public viewing for violation of terms of service, but they do not remove them from their servers.

The biggest problem YouTube faces is users uploading copyrighted material. People forget that while a video may be individually created, if they have a soundtrack of copyrighted music, they may soon get a message from YouTube.

I learned this after the newspaper uploaded a local football band perfor-mance that included copyrighted music. The following comments about copy-rights are copied from YouTube’s site.

YouTube’s problem is that it would be sued out of existence if it did not pro-vide a way to protect the copyrights of content creators. For this reason, You-Tube is obligated to delete videos that contain copyrighted material that has been used without permission, if the copyright holder tells YouTube to do this. YouTube isn’t the bad guy—it’s just the middleman, and it has to do what copyright holders tell it to do.

It’s illegal to upload videos to You-Tube that contain copyrighted material unless the uploader has a license for that material. YouTube is required to take ac-tion to remove illegally uploaded mate-rial if copyright holders request it. You-Tube has no choice in the matter.

The uploaders may obtain their vid-eos from various sources, both legal and illegal. The important thing is that they upload these videos without first obtain-ing a license to do so, and that’s why copyright holders force YouTube to de-lete them.


By Yvonne Miller Burlington’s Board of Education met

for their February meeting last Thursday morning.

At that meeting Assistant Principal Aaron Randall announced details about the high school boys and girls basket-ball teams play at regionals at NOC in Tonkawa. The Elks went on to capture the Regional Championship after beat-ing Bluejacket 84-36 and Timberlake 40-39 in the finals.

The Lady Elks made it to the top of the consolation bracket.

So both Elks teams play in the Area Tournament at Cleveland this week. The girls, with a record of 19-10, play Bo-koshe Thursday at 6:30 p.m. If the Lady Elks win they play again Friday.

As Regional Champs, the Elks need only to win their Friday night game at 8 to advance to the state playoffs. With a 26-2 record, the Elks face Kinta who has identical win/loss numbers.

Elks coach Randy Turney said his team has lots of injuries. They lost Lane Newlin in January who is not yet 100 percent. Garrett Butler has a stress frac-ture and several players have turned an-kles. In fact, Coach Turney himself plans surgery immediately after basketball for some back and sciatic nerve issues.

Burlington Elks fans will show sup-port of their beloved teams. Tonight, Purple Pride feeds both teams. Thursday afternoon everyone is invited to a pep rally in the auditorium at 12:40. That will lead into a “honk-out” to send the

girls team on their way at 1. Time will be announced for a second “honk-out” for the boys’ team Friday. Transportation Bond Sale March 15

At the February meeting, Judge Lo-ren Angle attended to administer the oath of office to new board member Aaron Smith.

Other members present were: Terry Graham, Beth Guffy, Roger Allen and Allison Armbruster. Others attending were: Superintendent Glen Elliott, Asst. Principal Aaron Randall and Minutes Clerk Jan Hill.

The board then reorganized with Ter-ry Graham continuing as president, Beth Guffy continuing as vice-president, and Allison Armbruster being elected as the new board clerk.

The Board approved the sale of $410,000 General Obligation Transpor-tation Bonds on Thursday, March 15 at noon. Bids are due in the Superinten-dent’s Office at 410 Main that day by 11:45 a.m.

Also approved were General, Build-ing and Child Nutrition Funds encum-brances, change orders and warrants; the January Activity Fund Report; and par-ticipation in the Cooperative Education Project for 2012-2013.

The board convened in executive session at 8:45 a.m. for the purpose of discussing certified personnel with no vote to be taken upon return to open ses-sion. The Board returned to open session at 9:20 a.m.

In other action, the board approved

continuing the contract with Municipal Accounting Systems, Inc. for financial and student information computer soft-ware and support. The school calendar for 2012-2013 was discussed.

Transfer of funds from concessions received approval to the following groups: Junior Class -$1,755.92, Aca-demic Teams - $639.45, Cheerleaders - $315.11, Elementary Teachers - $686.43, Music/Band - $552.45, StuCo - $611.47, Accelerated Reader - $558.57, Athletics - $647.76 was approved.

Mr. Elliott reviewed the Fire Marshal Report which showed some minor viola-tions which were corrected.

Board Wants Public Input on Whether or Not to Join NW Tech

DistrictSuperintendent Elliott said as board

members discussed whether or not to join the Northwest Career Technology Center in Alva they weren’t sure. Board members said they’ve received hardly any opinions from patrons. They want the patrons’ input before voting.

As reported in the Newsgram in the January Burlington board story, NW Tech representative Daren Slater ex-plained that tuition is basically doubled for out-of-district students. For exam-ple, an out-of-district high school day-time career student would pay $12,401. That’s for a 1050 hour program. In con-trast, an in-district high school student attends the same classes for free.

Tuition for in-district adult students is $1.50 per hour and $3/hour for out-of-district students. Anyone 65 or older has free tuition.

Tuition is mandated by the State Career Tech, Slater said. He added that NWT spends approximately $6,200 per career student.

Elliott said the approximate cost to join the NWT District would be $220,000 annually for Burlington’s School District. This equates to 13 mills which would be paid by property own-ers.

The superintendent asks patrons to please contact him or a board member to voice their opinions as to whether or not this should be pursued.

A Child Identification Program (CHIP), designed to help in cases of missing or exploited children, will be provided free of charge to children of the area on Saturday, Feb. 25, by the Alva Masonic Lodge.

The program consists of recording identifying information that can be giv-en to law enforcement officials when a child is missing, for whatever reason.

Hours of the service are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the lodge, 1022 Noble St. Ap-pointments are not necessary.

The CHIP program includes a brief interview with a child. This is recorded on a compact disc to show the child’s mannerisms and speech patterns. Digital photographs of the child are recorded in

a format needed in the Amber Alert pro-gram.

Fingerprints also are taken. To record an impression of teeth, the child will bite down on a wafer, from which DNA also can be determined. The wafer is sealed in a plastic bag, in which enough scent remains for a trained dog to identify and track it.

A parent or guardian of each child participating must be present to fill out a permission form. All identifying data is turned over to the parent or guardian to be made available to proper authorities should the need arise. None of the infor-mation is retained by the Masonic lodge or otherwise filed.

The CHIP program is conducted na-

tionwide. Equipment needed is provided in the state by the Grand Lodge of Okla-homa with facilities being made avail-able by the local lodge.

The Alva Moms’ Club is working with the Masons in offering the program here.

A million children are reported miss-ing each year in the United States. Most of these children are ultimately found, but many are not. It is believed that the incidences of child abductions appear to be both increasing and under-reported.

Bob Warfield, secretary of the Alva Lodge, can be contacted if further in-formation is needed. His phone is 327-3676; his e-mail: [email protected]. Information also is available from the Oklahoma Grand Lodge web site at www.gloklahoma.com.

By Julie WhitemanWhile it was unclear at first as to

when districts would be reorganized for the State Senate, a ruling by the At-torney General made the new districts

effective last November, according to State Representative Jeff Hickman. Hickman was on hand to introduce Al-falfa County to their new Senator, Pat-rick Anderson R- Enid.

“The Attorney General released an opinion that stated the new dis-tricts would go into effect the minute the Governor signed those into law,” Hickman said. “We originally thought that with the new election cycle the new districts would go into effect when members filed. But we had sev-eral members resign office early, and Senator David Myers passed away. So we had a decision to make as to where to hold the elections. Do we hold the elections in the old districts, just for a few months, or do we hold them with-in the new districts? But the Attorney General indeed made a ruling that once the legislature implemented the new districts with the governor’s signature, the old districts would no longer exist. So Senator Patrick Anderson now rep-resents Alfalfa County.”

“I am very excited about being your Senator,” Anderson told the attendees of a Legislative Luncheon in Cherokee last week. “We spent our first week in session in committees, listening to the bills before they make it out the floor. So we are really just getting started.”

“One thing that Representative Hickman and I were able to work on together, and were very successful with was changing a rule in regard to state employees and how they get their prescriptions filled,” Anderson said.

Oklahoma State Education Em-ployees Group Insurance Board which oversees insurance policies for all Oklahoma state employees had voted

to require the use of a mail order phar-macy when using their state provided health insurance to fill prescriptions, according to Anderson.

“As it turns out, the board made this decision based on the recommen-dation from the company which owns the mail-order pharmacy in New Jer-sey. Imagine that,” said Anderson. “This decision was based on the idea that it would save money. And because it did appear to save the state money, the board voted it into effect. Howev-er, when you added it all up, it came to a $75 million economic impact on the state.”

“In our smaller communities, like Crescent, where I am from, the school is the largest employer. If that business went away for our hometown pharma-cies, then our hometown pharmacies would go away,” Anderson said. “But the state pharmacies got together and found a way to save even more money and we were able to successfully re-verse that decision.”

Hickman joined Anderson in an-swering questions from the crowd

Now in his eighth year in the Sen-ate, Anderson represents District 19 which will now include Alfalfa and Grant counties. He is vice president and trust officer with Central National Bank & Trust Company of Enid, Okla-homa. He also raises wheat and cattle in Garfield County. Senator Anderson graduated from Enid High School, received his B.S. in Business Admin-istration from Oklahoma State Uni-versity and earned his Juris Doctorate from the University of Oklahoma. He is married to Kelly Anderson and they have two daughters.

By Lynn L. MartinThe first fifteen minutes of the Feb-

ruary 21, 2012 meeting of the Alfalfa County Commissioners was consumed with the commissioners silently signing dozens of warrants for payments.

After that a discussion occurred about some oil companies placing “over the road crossing” fixtures on top of county blacktops. These fixtures are usually placed at farm driveways or field entrances on soil. It obviously would be less work for the oil companies to place these metal crossovers on top of roads rather than drilling underneath. This new approach for of placing the fixtures on top of the blacktop was seen near Bur-lington.

All the county commissioners agreed that it was a dangerous practice because the roads carry high traffic and the vehi-cles are approaching the “over the road”

crossings fixtures at highway speeds. The commissioners voted unanimously to prohibit the practice.

A change in the EMS receiving of-ficer was approved. Francis Davidson was dropped from the position and Dean Holt was appointed.

The county will receive income of $50,750 on road crossing permits issued Tuesday. District one issued ten permits which generated fees of $50,750. Dis-trict two issued six permits for fees of $3500, and District three issued 4 per-mits for $3500. The price of a permit varies depending on the type of service crossing the road (electrical, water, salt water, etc.)

The county declared the following as surplus property that will be taken to a large equipment auction in Elk City. The commissioners illustrated that perhaps 40 road graders will be for sale at this one auction and that attracts lots of buy-ers and the prices are better.

All of the surplus equipment is from District 2: a 1989 Kodiak Truck, a 1969 Cat Dozer, 1992 John Deere Grader, 1994 Galion Grader, 1997 Rhino Mow-er, and a 2001 Rhine Mower.

Alfalfa County toughens road crossing rules

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma lawmaker is pushing a bill to require drug testing for certain welfare recipients.

A House subcommittee on Monday voted 6-2 for the bill that requires drug tests for recipients of Temporary Ben-efits for Needy Families.

Oklahoma City Republican Rep. Guy Liebmann sponsored the bill and says the recipient would pay for the test and then be reimbursed if they test nega-tive for drugs. The bill was amended to require testing only after an applicant has been approved for benefits.

Under the bill, children whose par-ents fail a drug test would be able to re-ceive their benefits through another fam-ily member or designate.

Liebmann says the bill is based on a Florida measure that is currently being challenged in federal court as unconsti-tutional.

Oklahoma lawmaker seeks welfare drug testing


By Yvonne MillerThe wind blowing cross the Kansas

plains is captured in the form of clean energy and benefiting the economy of Barber County in south central Kan-sas, and now expanding to neighboring counties and beyond.

BP Wind Energy is half owner with Westar of the Flat Ridge I Wind Farm in northeast Barber County. It’s a 100 mega-watt farm that began commer-cial operations in 2009.

Now BP is building Flat Ridge II. The wind farm will start on the edge of the company’s relatively small Flat Ridge I and extend in a four-mile-wide corridor for 18 miles to the east. It will be the largest wind farm in Kansas.

The complex of turbines will paral-lel Ridge Road, spaced evenly apart on some 66,000 acres of land primarily in Kingman and Harper counties, sand-wiched between U.S. 160 and K-42. The company also obtained right of way for a transmission line, to take the energy from the farm to a major Westar transmission line in Sumner County.

The new wind farm represents an $800 million investment by BP. Con-struction is expected to employ around 350 people at peak and 30 permanent employees operating and maintain-ing the farm once work is finished, according to Karl Pierce, Director of Business Development with BP Wind Energy.

Pierce said that everything is pretty well on schedule.

“Weather has been great for con-struction,” Pierce said. He said they are building roads – part of the 70 miles of roads to build. Some of the construc-

Flat Ridge II Wind Farm construction in Barber County and beyond

tion includes: underground connection lines; substations and pouring founda-tions so the tall wind turbines can be put in place.

BP expects the farm, which will generate 419 megawatts of energy, to become commercially operational by the end of 2012. BP contracted to sell 75 percent of the energy, or 314 MW, to Associated Electric Cooperative Inc.

Pierce said that all 419 MW of en-ergy are now contracted.

The energy company provides pow-er to six regional and 51 local electric cooperative systems that are its mem-bers in Missouri, northeast Oklahoma and southeast Iowa.

Pierce said they are seeing the low-est ever prices for wind energy to date. While he can’t release exact figures, he said the current MW cost is decreased 25 percent compared to Flat Ridge I prices in 2008.

BP said more than 200 landowners will receive a total of at least $1 mil-lion a year in royalties, or about $5000 per property in annual leases.

When asked how many of those Flat Ridge II landowners are in Barber County, Pierce said it involves about 17 legal parcels of land, some owned by the same people, so an estimated 12 landowners.

When asked why sometimes the wind turbines are not turning, he re-plied, “We need 8 mph wind to turn turbines.” He said Flat Ridge I is lim-ited to the 138 KV line from Medicine Lodge to Harper. Because the trans-former at the Medicine Lodge sub-station needs upgraded, Pierce said, “We’ve been curtailed at times.” He said that transformer is being replaced.

He said sometimes the turbines are down for maintenance.

He said they’ve replaced or re-paired turbine blades and had good performance.

“We’re getting a lot of energy out of those turbines,” Pierce said. Future of the Production Tax Credit

and Wind EnergyKeeping the real wind behind the

expanding wind energy business in Kansas is the federal government’s Production Tax Credit (PTC). The PTC is set to stop at the end of 2012. That caused BP urgency to get infrastruc-ture in place, turbines on the ground, etc., to meet the deadline.

Pierce said there is no news on ex-tension of the PTC, but the wind en-ergy industry is pushing. “We’re doing all that we can,” he said. “We propose a four-year extension, so then we can kind of wean the industry. Right now the industry needs the PTC to survive.”

Pierce said that turbine manufac-ture Siemens of Hutchison currently has no orders for 2013 with unpredict-ability of the future.

BP hopes to expand the project with Flat Ridge III which erects more turbines in Barber and Kingman coun-ties. They also plan Flat Ridge IV in Pratt County. BP has already acquired leases on thousands of more acres of land. Whether Congress extends the production tax credit or passes other legislation to keep wind energy costs low will determine how quickly proj-ects proceed.

BP plans to get Flat Ridge III shov-el-ready to build in 2013. Then they’ll wait and see what the government does.

By Yvonne MillerStepping into rehearsals of Border

Line Theatre’s “Lend Me a Tenor” one sees and hears all sorts of drama – a surprise and not so happily accepted kiss – a comical war of words and ac-tions between a husband and wife . . . and the best part is . . . it all makes you laugh.

You’re not going to want to miss Border Line Theatre’s spring produc-tion at the Kiowa, Kan., Community Building. It’s the last two weekends of March. Dinner Theatre productions (featuring a fire-grilled steak meal) are on Saturday nights March 24 and March 31. Matinee performances are Sunday afternoons of March 25 and April 1.

Tickets will soon be available through Shirts and More in Kiowa, 620-825-4074.

Kevin Cox directs this group of

Border Line’s ‘Lend Me a Tenor’ promises to be a hit

At right: As they have in many past pro-ductions, Border Line veterans Mick Gillig and Cathy Cox have you on the edge of your seat holding on for dear life as you laugh at their antics. Here they play a sparring husband and wife, and while they practice in the hallway of the community building a passerby won-dered what in the world was happening inside. They are in Lend Me a Tenor, a Border Line production in late March. Photo by Yvonne Miller

Border Line veterans. He said the cast is “doing a great job!”

Cast members are: Matt Cantrell, Jenny Cantrell, Gary Jacobs, Mick Gil-lig, Cathy Cox, Justin Rugg, Cherish

Reeves and Janice Hill. Set in the 1930s, Lend Me a Tenor

is a madcap screwball comedy that takes place when Tito Merelli, the fi-ery-tempered and world famous Italian

superstar, arrives in Cleveland, Ohio to make his debut with the local opera and promptly goes missing. As Saun-ders, the show’s presenter, conspires to cover for Tito’s absence, placate his hot-blooded wife, and distract his most passionate fans, chaos ensues on a truly operatic level.
