has filed a civil lawsuit against Alfalfa County, a political subdivision of The State of Oklahoma, in the district court of Alfalfa County alleging damages in excess of $10,000.

The suit claims that on January 5, 2011 the plaintiff and her minor child were exiting the bathroom on the third floor of the Alfalfa County Courthouse when the door slammed on the finger of the minor child.

The plaintiff claims that the defen-dant, the County of Alfalfa, had a duty to the public to ensure its doors were safe to the public and failed to properly maintain them. As a result of the alleged negligence, the plaintiff claims the mi-nor child sustained injuries to her mind and body, causing damages in excess of $10,000.

By Yvonne MillerKnown for her cake decorating skills,

Diana Albright turned her talents to pip-ing the icing on kids’ education.

“The people and kids are wonder-ful,” Diana said of her colleagues and students at South Barber PK-6. This se-mester the Harper native joined the staff as a .25 upper elementary teacher and Title I paraprofessional.

She assumed the position held by Holly Johnson who became a fulltime classroom teacher at the beginning of the spring semester when a longtime teacher resigned.

Principal Marcia Cantrell credited Diana for coming at the last minute in the middle of the year from the school at Harper.

“She picked up the books and knew what she was doing,” Cantrell said. “She’s excellent in the subjects she’s teaching.”

That’s 6th grade science and 4th grade computers. Diana listed math and sci-ence as her favorite subjects.

“She’s great with using technology in her science program,” Cantrell said.

Also a Title I paraprofessional, she assists Title I/At-Risk teacher Jeannie Albright, using the Multi-Tiered Sup-port System (MTSS). In that school-wide system, data determines the assis-tance needed for students to help them achieve their best.

Working with kindergarten children, Diana said, “It’s so exciting to see them read.”

In 2010 she earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Wichita State University. She comes to Kiowa with nearly seven years of expe-rience as a paraprofessional.

“I love teaching,” Diana said. “It’s so rewarding – it makes you feel so good when students get it.” She especially likes one-on-one time with students.

Registered voters in Alfalfa County who become physically incapacitated after 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 27, won’t have to miss the April 3, Special Elec-tion for Timberlake School District I-93 and the Special Election for Chisholm School District I-42, County Election Board Secretary Kelly Stein said.

Stein said state law permits regis-tered voters who will be unable to go to the polls because they became incapaci-tated after 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 27, to vote on an emergency basis. “Physi-cal incapacitation” includes a variety of conditions – injury, illness, childbirth – that prevent a person from voting in person at the polls on election day.

“If you think that you or someone you know fits into this category, contact the County Election Board office at 580-596-2718 as soon as possible for more information,” Stein said.

Incapacitated may vote in special election


By Yvonne MillerBurlington’s Board of Education held

their regular March meeting and also a special meeting to award transportation bonds.

The twenty-minute meeting to award the bonds was last Thursday at noon.

Members present were Terry Graham, Beth Guffy, Allison Armbruster, and Roger Allen. Member Aaron Smith was absent. Others attending were Superintendent Glen Elliott, Stephen H. McDonald representative Matt Reichert, and Minutes Clerk Jan Hill.

After opening bids, the board awarded the $410,000 General Obligation Transportation Equipment Bonds to BOSC, Inc. of Oklahoma City with a net interest cost of $14,500.00 and an average rate of 1%.

A resolution received board approval providing for the issuance of General Obligation Transportation Equipment Bonds in the sum of $410,000 by the school district. The resolution specifies prescribing form of bonds; providing for registration thereof; providing for levy of an annual tax for the payment of principal and interest on the same; and fixing other details of the issue.

The board adopted a written policies and procedures for post-issuance compliance. They also approved a resolution designating the bonds as “Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations” pursuant to Section 265(b)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

The bond money will replace the

school’s 12-year old buses. This includes four buses, a pickup and Suburban.

Regular Board Meeting March 13The board held their regular March

meeting the evening of Tuesday the 13th. All members (as listed above) attended. Superintendent Elliott also attended as did Asst. Principal Aaron Randall, and Minutes Clerk Jan Hill.

Elliott congratulated the Elks boys basketball team for making it to the state playoffs. He’s especially proud that the team won the State Academic Champion Trophy for the 3rd consecutive year. He said their GPA was 3.906. He reminded that the Lady Elks earned the trophy two years previous. He’s proud that Burlington School students earned this honor five years.

The Board discussed the 2012-2013 proposed calendar extensively with no conclusions drawn on changes to the calendar as proposed. The superintendent said one request was for more days off before Christmas. Another regarded the number of school days.

With the transportation bonds issued, board discussed specifications for new school buses to be purchased. Elliott said the buses will be automatic and have air conditioning. He said although air conditioning is near $10,000 more expensive per bus, the board feels it’s worth it with so many students having allergies, the miserable heat, etc.

The buses will run on diesel. The old buses use gas. The board approved having Elliott negotiate fuel contracts

with the Burlington Co-op.The library has 10 Kindles for

students to check out for reading. That’s thanks to fundraising efforts – specifically a quilt raffle. Elliott said teacher Judy Elliott and the home economics classes did the project with the volunteerism and donations of many.

Board discussed policy for the Kindles. They decided that students from grades 7-12 can check out the Kindles and take them home. Younger students can check out the electronic “book”, but not take it out of the school. Elliott said they’ve learned they need some Kindles that have books with pictures – geared toward elementary students. They also determined a Kindle is to hold its charge near two weeks.

After a few months of discussing whether or not to join the Northwest Tech Center in Alva, the board decided not to pursue it at this time. While board members and the superintendent didn’t have a lot of feedback from district patrons, Elliott said what they did hear was negative.

After discussion, the board approved a teacher evaluation system for 2012-2013 with Oklahoma Teacher and Leader Effectiveness utilizing the Tulsa Model.

Encumbrances, change orders and warrants for the General, Building, and Child Nutrition Funds were approved as was the February Activity Fund report.

The ongoing vocational program for 2012-2013, and a contract with Charles Carroll Auditing for preparation of the 2012-2013 budget and the audit of the 2011-2012 fiscal year received approval.

The Board convened in executive session at 8:35 p.m. for the purpose of discussing non-certified personnel with no vote to be taken upon return to open session. The board returned to open session at 9:10 p.m.

The Superintendent told about the new board member workshop May 4-5; and the OSSBA District 2 Meeting April 5. He also said the remodel of the little gym looks good. He said there is a small amount of work remaining. Eventually the bathroom sinks will be changed.

The Principal’s report included basketball, FFA, Band and Music and Academic activities.

By Lynn L. MartinAn employee of the newspaper was

taking photographs of the 2011 NWOSU Homecoming pa-rade and was seated on the street a few feet from the curb. She had her camera in one hand and her cell phone in her lap. She also had her children in tow. She moved a few feet away to frame a better shot and left

the cell phone on the ground.After taking her photo, she realized

she left the phone on the ground and ob-viously scurried about looking for it. The fellow who had picked it up was stand-ing nearby and did not make any attempt to say, “Is this what you’re looking for.” Instead, he said nothing.

The cell phone owner’s husband observed this and went up to the likely finder and asked, “Did you find a cell phone near here?” At this point, the fel-low handed it over.

I remember my newspaper employee saying how angry she was that this fel-low was trying to steal her phone.

Another Close Call from OKCJust last week, I was with another

newspaper employee at a seminar in Oklahoma City. As we were pulling out of the parking lot at the convention cen-ter to head home, she said, “Wait a min-ute. I can’t find my cell phone.”


Lynn Says

The loss of a smart phone can be devastating

See Says Page 35

After fishing through her purse and checking the floor of the van, she said, “I’d better go back inside.” Within about three minutes she returned with a big smile and waving the cell phone. The meeting had only been over about five minutes so no facility clean-up had start-ed and attendees were still visiting in the conference room.

There’s probably not a one of us who hasn’t had to call his own cell phone to try to find it around the house or at the office.

For most of us, cell phones have be-come our personal filing cabinets. It is extremely convenient to have all of life’s important information immediately at our fingertips. The concentration of in-formation is so dense, that it is unlikely a thief who broke into our home would ever be able to find as much information as is contained on our smart phones.

So at the very least, you should password protect your phone. Most cell phones can be enabled to require a four digit number before it can be “opened.” Such a simple password might delay an amateur for a while, but a determined person might try your four digit phone number. It probably is your house phone number or other obvious number from your life and quickly opens the treasure door.

An extremely important safeguard for a phone containing access to cor-porate or bank account information is the ability to remotely wipe the missing phone clean. This needs to be done very

quickly for best security and before the battery runs down or the security code is cracked. Although, I would have to take a big “gulp” of air before triggering that “delete” for fear I might find the phone in the next ten minutes.

We’ve all seen stories of how law-enforcement people love to get their hands on a suspect’s cell phone since all of his possible co-conspirators and cus-tomers for contraband are likely to be right there on the call log and in the con-tact list. There are mixed court rulings on whether a search can be made of the cell phone without a warrant. Just this month, on March 1, 2012, the pendulum swung back in favor of law enforcement.

New Court Ruling: No Search Warrant needed

(CBS News) Cell phone users need to be mindful of what information is stored on their devices. U.S. Court of Appeal for the 7th Circuit ruled Wednesday that it is now legal for police to search cell phones without a warrant.

The case that put cell phone privacy at the center of the drama was rooted in Indiana.

According to court documents, Abel Flores-Lopez was busted for a metham-phetamine deal. A witness in the case noted that a cell phone call had been made, discussing details of the drug deal.

The arresting police officer searched Flores-Lopez’s phone without obtaining a warrant. The defendant argued that the police obtained evidence illegally, thus making all following evidence inadmis-sible in court.

Judge Richard Posner shot down the defendant and argued that the cell phone should be treated as a diary and refer-enced the case United States v. Jones.

“So opening the diary found on the suspect whom the police have arrested, to verify his name and address and dis-cover whether the diary contains infor-mation relevant to the crime for which he has been arrested, clearly is permissi-ble; and what happened in this case was similar but even less intrusive, since a cell phone’s phone number can be found without searching the phone’s contents, unless the phone is password protected - and on some cell phones even if it is.”

Posner went on to argue that it was

The phones—10 in each target area—were lost over the course of several days in such places as elevators, food courts and transit stops, where high levels of foot traffic were guaranteed.

Symantec’s lost phone experimentA study released by Symantec dated

March 12, 2012, contained the results of researchers deliberately “losing” 50 smart phones in New York City, Wash-ington, D.C., San Francisco, CA and Ot-tawa, Canada.

Symantec found that almost every-one who finds a lost smartphone will try to access the personal and corporate data inside, and only half will contact the owner.

Symantec’s advice to smart phone users? Keep the devices close.

According to a recent study by the security software vendors, people who lose their smart phones or other mo-bile devices in public have a 50 percent

app named Remote Admin.“This finding demonstrates the high

risks posed by an un-managed, lost smart phone to sensitive corporate in-formation,” the researchers said in the report.

The lesson, according to Symantec, is to make sure that whatever data is on the phone is as secure as it can be.

The Carmen Library Board will celebrate Women’s History Month on Tuesday, March 27th with a special Tea Party. Dr. Joyce Bender will present a special program on the “History of the Carmen Children’s Home”.

Bender has completed extensive re-search on the Odd Fellow’s Children’s Home which was built in the early 1900’s. She has interviewed individu-als and families who were involved in the home, she has researched records, and collected documents related to the home. The home was built by the Odd Fellow’s as a place for orphans who lost parents or who had family difficulties in caring for the children. It later became an orphanage run by the Pentecostal Church. In later years, it was a nursing home. It was closed a number of years ago and is vacant. Bender would espe-cially like to visit with individuals who have special memories of the children’s home.

The Tea Party will begin at 7 p.m.. Adults in the community and surround-ing area are invited to attend. There will be refreshments served and social time.

By Roger McKenzieA commitment of almost $500,000

was finalized Monday by the Alfalfa County Commissioners when they signed a lease purchase agreement for two new John Deere graders for District 1. The identical graders come with a snow plow blade and a dozer blade, as well as the longest warranty (five years) available.

That’s still a year shy of the 84 month contract length. The contract with Yel-lowhouse Machinery Co. of Enid will require the county to make monthly pay-ments of $5,853.80. Dusty Bittle, the company’s representative who was on hand for the contract signings Monday, said the interest rate was 3.75 percent.

The company has provided equip-

ment to the other districts, as well. The commissioners praised the company’s service to the county.

An executive session was held with the Kay County District Attorney han-dling the county’s lawsuit against Al-falfa County Clerk Bruce Martin. No action was taken following that closed door session.

Sherry Green is the new requisition-ing officer for Carmen First Responders. Green was appointed to replace Gina Hullet and Rhonda Pollard.

Although Commissioner Chad Roach remarked that the number of road cross-ing permits being requested has slowed down, Secretary Phoebe Angle noted the drop was most likely due to the number of meetings the commissioners have had

lately. An extra meeting at the end of last month, allowed some of the permit requests to be handled. That helped re-duce the amount being seen recently. At Monday’s meeting, seven road crossing permits were approved, totaling $8,750.

The break down included five for District 1 ($6,000) and, because one permit was split since it occurred on a district boundary line, one and a half for District 2 ($1,500) and a half for District 3 ($1,250).

A private property easement west of Burlington in District 1 was granted.

In routine business, the commission-ers approved minutes of the previous minutes, maintenance and operations warrants, blanket purchase orders, and miscellaneous officers’ reports.

Two new graders for District 1 approved by Alfalfa commissioners
