By Yvonne MillerThis Thursday, October 18, 2012,

marks a highly-anticipated day that supporters of a new hospital in Kiowa, Kan., awaited over four years. The public is invited to the groundbreak-ing for the new facility to be built on hospital-district-owned property on the south end of Kiowa along the east side of Highway 8 (4th St.), directly south of the water tower.

Administration, hospital founda-tion representatives and professionals

involved with the project will speak briefly at the event starting near 11 a.m. Following, a light lunch will be served at the groundbreaking until 1 p.m.

“The groundbreaking is a celebra-tion of many years of planning,” Hos-pital CEO Aldeen “Van” Vandeveer said. “Not only are we celebrating this most recent planning process for the future, but the people who got together and built the original Kiowa District Hospital. This day is a time to thank the citizens of Kiowa and the support of this community. We are most grate-ful for everyone’s support. We look forward to giving area citizens the

same excellent health care they’ve re-ceived the last 61 years and well into the future.”

“We’re very excited to be in a posi-tion where we can begin the construc-tion phase of the project,” Vandeveer said. Before physical construction be-gins, documents must be completed, bids let and accepted, he said, adding there are 8-12 weeks of site prepara-tion. For instance, hospital administra-tion and the board continue to work with city officials to bring city utilities to the site.

By Roger McKenzieMore commercial and/or industrial

space at the Cherokee Industrial Park opened up Monday, after Alfalfa County commissioners approved a platting re-quest from Alfalfa Electric Cooperative that adds six lots in a second addition. The acceptance of five 2.5 acre lots and one that is just over four acres came Mon-day at the commissioners’ regular meet-ing, after a presentation by AEC’s attor-ney, Kyle Hadwiger.

The new lots are located south of the original Cherokee Industrial Park and lie along 12th Street on their north side. Their south side is pasture land, while the eastern-most lot is bounded on the east by Ohio Street, and the western-most lot (which is the largest) is bounded on the west by the abandoned AT&SF Railroad right-of-way.

Covenants for the new lots are identi-cal with those in place in the original in-dustrial park. Permitted uses are limited to business commercial and industrial. Asked if some of the lots could be used to establish man-camps for energy workers, the commissioners said no.

Right-of-way vacation requestHadwiger also represented another

client in a separate request he presented

AEC adds six lots in second industrial park addition

to the commissioners. The Reitz Fam-ily LLC requested the county to vacate right-of-way it originally obtained for a now abandoned county road between the northeast quarter of section 20, town-ship 25, range 11 and the southeast half of section 17, township 26, range 11. The family limited liability corporation owns the land, but not the right-of-way.

Attorney Hadwiger said the family wanted the right-of-way vacated to stop damage to its property. After the family had purchased approximately $12,000 work of rock for its use, Hadwiger said some unidentified person or persons “bladed” the rock without permission. Big trucks are also damaging property by making turnarounds. After the vaca-tion of the right-of-way, the plan was to put up a fence to prevent trucks or other equipment from coming down the road.

Neighbors to the Reitz family had no objections. The county did, however. Commissioner Chad Roach pointed out that the county would lose some funding, since the state uses road mileage totals in its formula to help counties. He also not-ed that the county needs to have access in case it has to do maintenance on the the adjacent canyon to correct certain condi-tions, such as flooding, which occurs on occasion.

He suggested the county or the family put up an appropriate fence halfway down the road, big enough to allow farming or county equipment to have access, with the Reitz family,neighboring landowners, and the county having keys to the fence. That would protect the land and keep the road for county use as needed, and would also allow the road to be reopened to the public again, if the need arises in the fu-ture. Hadwiger indicated that alternative would give the family what it wants. He

also indicated the family would put up the fence.

Roach made a motion to allow the family to put up the fence without a vaca-tion order.

Revenues from alcohol and road crossing permits

The alcoholic beverage tax raised $6,373.43 for the counties towns. Divid-ed according to population, the tax pro-vided Cherokee and Helena, the two larg-est towns, with $2,297.81 and $2,152.09. Lambert, the smallest, got $9.20.

Sixteen road crossing permits brought in $12,500 in fees. District 1 had the most requests (9) and the most fees ($8,750). District 2’s six fee requests accounted for $3,000. District 2 had just one fee request and $750 in fees.

Other businessCommissioners approved two private

property access agreements and approved county officer monthly reports. They also approved minutes of their previous meet-ing, blanket purchase orders and mainte-nance and operations warrants.

Resignation of Alva school superintendent on board agenda for Thursday morning

Cherokee School District will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week, Octo-ber 22 – 26, by completing drug and bully awareness prevention programs. The Red Ribbon Campaign was started when drug traffickers in Mexico City murdered DEA agent Kiki Camarena in 1985. This began the continuing tra-dition of displaying Red Ribbons as a symbol of intolerance towards the use of drugs. The mission of the Red Rib-bon Campaign is to present a unified and visible commitment towards the

creation of a Drug-Free America.Students will complete interac-

tive bully awareness activities and drug prevention awareness programs throughout Red Ribbon Week. Guest speakers and school counselor, Ilene Littlefield, will visit with elementary students about ways to diffuse a bully and hold open discussions about why students choose to bully others. Cyber bullying and texting will be addressed at the junior high and high school lev-els. Junior high and high school stu-

dents will also discuss internet safety precautions, state laws regarding cy-ber bullying and texting, as well as, the harmful effects and consequences of alcohol and drug use. Students will celebrate Red Ribbon

Week by participating in the following spirit activities:

Monday - I’m Voting For my Fu-ture I’m Drug Free - Wear Red, White, and Blue

Tuesday - I’m Too Bright For Drugs - Wear Bright Color Clothing and Socks

Wednesday - Give Drugs & Bully-ing The Boot - Wear Boots To School

Thursday - Kindness Starts With Me Peace-Out Bullies - Wear Tie-Dye

Friday - Team Up Against Drugs & Bullies - Wear Cherokee Pride - Red, Black & White

Round stickers will be given to each student daily matching the daily theme, & each student will receive one silicone bracelet as a remembrance of our awareness prevention week activi-ties.

Positive behavior will be awarded at the elementary level as “Cherokee Chiefs will be caught being good.” Each teacher will have ten special re-ward stickers to give out to students who are caught being respectful, kind, responsible, helpful, and thoughtful to others, to help promote and reinforce positive behavior and manners.

Cherokee Chiefs hope to team up against bullies and work together to promote positive, healthy lifestyles.

Cherokee celebrates Red Ribbon Week




By Lynn L. MartinThe automatic cameras of today are

surprisingly accurate at determining ex-posure and handling autofocus.

I remember using a hand-held exter-nal exposure meter in the late 1950’s. I believe it was the Weston Master III. A few years later, Yas-hica created a tiny hot-shoe mounted ex-

posure meter. It slid into the flash mount on top of the prism of a 35mm camera. One would set the ASA (now ISO) and a shutter speed, and the needle on the me-ter would point to an F stop setting. This was somewhat better than guessing, but not much.

I think it was Minolta who first intro-duced through-the-lens metering. This was a quantum leap forward in accuracy.

I recall owning a Nikkormat camera that had a meter-pointer displayed in the view-finder, and the operator rotated the F stop dial until a circle-like pointer cov-ered the needle to establish accurate ex-posure.

Needless to say, this was not a fast op-


Lynn Says

A bit of a photography lessoneration.

The first autofocus camera I was aware of was the Konica C35, introduced in the 1980’s. Minolta and Olympus came out with autofocus cameras at about the same time.

These were slow autofocus devices, but were considered amazing at the time.

Now, 30 years later, both automatic exposure and autofocus are lightning quick. There’s no way I can manually focus at say, a sporting event, as fast as modern autofocus.

One of the things I try to teach in the digital photography class at the Career-Tech is how to cause your camera’s auto-focus to focus on the correct subject.

Let’s say you have your camera point-ed at three football players on a field. If one is 15 feet away, another is 30 feet away, and a third 60 feet away, how does your camera know which one you want in focus? It is very unlikely all three can be in focus at the same time, particularly at night.

Most digital cameras, priced from about $300 on up, permit you to select “which” focusing square you want to be active. Place that active square on the player you want in focus, and you should be in business.

Another compensation one needs to make for night football is to lock in your exposure on skin-tone (or read a gray-card). The reason WHY is “skin tone” is what you want “right.” But when you point your camera at a night football field,

probably half the frame is filled with black sky and the other half with dark green grass. This is going to fool the auto expo-sure system where it says to itself,”Wow, this is really dark” and it will open up the lens too wide and “blow-out” the skin tone of your favorite football player.

So the way you do it, even if you want to shoot from the stands, is see if you can walk on the football field (like when everybody lines up to let the players run through a line of fans) and while there, take a quick exposure read of the back of your hand (skin tone). Note that expo-sure, and manually set your camera. Then whether you are on the field shooting photos, or up in the stands, the exposure will be as close as you can get to being on the mark. That way, you avoid “blown-out” skin tone in sports photos.

I would like to express my apprecia-tion to the NW Career Tech for allowing me to postpone the start of the class that was supposed to begin October 4. My younger brother unexpectedly passed away about four days before that, and I needed to be traveling for the funeral on October 4th. The following week I really needed to be at the Cinderella Pageant, since we were producing DVD’s and still photos for the newspaper. Then, fall break blocked off another week. So we finally decided on a start date of October 25, 2012. I’m not sure what all of that postponement will do to enrollment. So I hope everybody can still make it.

By the way, if you are a senior citizen, enrollment is free at most Career Tech night courses. You might have to pay $5-$10 costs for supplies, but it is a great deal. They called me today and estab-lished dates for the winter digital course. The meetings will be for three-hours on Feb. 7, 14, 21 and 28.

Vandeveer said all the financing is in place for the project: $4 million approved by the Barber County Commissioners (in the form of bonds taxpayers will pay for and the hospital will also help pay for with Medicare reimbursement); a $3 million USDA Loan; and a $1,225.985 commitment from the Friends of the Hospital and Manor Foundation.

Total funding sources and cost of the hospital is listed at $8.3 million.

The money will build a 23,500 square foot Critical Ac-cess Hospital. The facility will have eight rooms all of which will be private rooms and one isolation room.

The Road that Led to the GroundbreakingSince before 2008, the Kiowa District Hospital Board

discussed the need to build a new facility to update the now antiquated original hospital that was built in 1951 with sev-eral additions over the years. This left a disjointed facility that has a less-than-adequate emergency room; numerous infrastructure and functional problems; tiny patient-room re-strooms that are not handicapped accessible nor is the entire facility; and much more.

The Medicine Lodge Memorial Hospital faced a similar aging-facility situation and MLMH Administrator Kevin White and then KDH Administrator Bryan Stacey began talking. The two hospital boards worked together and even-tually had a plan in place for building new hospitals in both communities.

In a November 4, 2008 election, Barber County voters narrowly passed a bond issue for improvement of health care facilities in both Kiowa and Medicine Lodge by a vote of 1246 yes; 1139 no.

The hospitals used Critical Access Group (CAG) who proposed a plan for a $26.5 million bond issue to build a 24-bed hospital in Medicine Lodge and a 15-bed facility in Kiowa.

County Commissioner Steve Garten, Paul Harbaugh and the late Mike Thomas had endless meetings with hospital of-ficials and the Barber County Public Building Commission (PBC), who ultimately issues and oversees county bond is-sues.

Eventually, the commissioners halted the proposed new hospital plan as the proposed price tag was too high for tax-payers, they said. Finally in the spring of 2010 the commis-sioners approved $10 million tax money for the two Barber County hospitals – $6 million to Medicine Lodge and $4 mil-lion for Kiowa. Medicine Lodge had a groundbreaking this summer for remodeling and building a new addition to their hospital.

After much research of the KDH Planning Committee chaired by then Hospital DON Karla Johnston, Kiowa’s board approved to build new with MW Builders and GLMV Architects. This was after estimates to remodel were even higher than building new and consideration of the inconve-nience of caring for patients during construction.

The original price tag was an estimated $6.5 million. The Friends of the Kiowa District Hospital and Manor Founda-tion, led by Judy Schrock, was established to raise the addi-tional funding needed, referred to as GAP funding.

Thursday the road continues into the construction phase.

By Yvonne MillerKiowa’s City Council conducted

business in under two hours at their Oc-tober meeting Monday night.

Mayor Brandon Farney presided over the meeting with all councilmen present: Bill Watson, Brian Hill, Rus Molz, Bran-don Poland and Mark Lambert. City Administrator Nathan Law, City Clerk Marlo Rugg and City Attorney Laurel McClellan also sat at the table.

Hospital CEO Aldeen “Van” Vande-veer and hospital board member Robert Stark attended the meeting to discuss accessing a city water line at the new hospital site on the south end of Kiowa along 4th St.

Law presented a document stating the hospital’s request for an eight-inch water line from the water tower (direct-ly north of the property) to the hospital property. Stark told council the “ceiling price” is $60,000. The city currently has only a two-inch water line going down 4th St. The move to a larger water line will give several properties in that area fire protection.

Hospital officials request the city share the cost with them. A two-inch pump will go in the water line to in-

crease the pressure from 58 pounds to 85 pounds, to accommodate the new hospi-tal’s sprinkler system.

Council agreed when business of the Monday meeting concluded, they would adjourn this meeting until Monday, Oc-tober 22 at 8 p.m., to resume discussion of the water line. This gives Law and hospital officials time to work out de-tails.

In other business regarding the hos-pital, council reviewed and approved the final plat, provided by Ruggles and Bohm, for the property owned by the Kiowa District Hospital.

Planning Commission Business At the last meeting of Kiowa’s plan-

ning commission, Kevin McWhorter voiced his interest in filling the vacancy on the commission, of Dick Parker who passed away. McWhorter, a Kiowa resi-dent since spring, introduced himself. The commission voted unanimously to recommend that Mayor Farney ap-point McWhorter to the planning group. Council approved the mayor’s appoint-ment.

Resident Faye Conaway reportedly informed the planning commission she will be requesting a zone change for her

property on South 4th St. She is to make a presentation before the commission at their next meeting, which is today, Octo-ber 17 at 6 p.m.

More City of Kiowa Business Computers and More of Kiowa,

which is owned by Alex Rugg, received council’s unanimous approval to provide Information Technology (IT) services for the city. Rugg’s hourly rate is $50, with no material mark-up. SC Telcom also put in a bid with hourly rates from $75 to $135, depending on if the city en-tered a service contract.

• Councilmen Molz and Lambert volunteered to review proposals for a water system analysis of Kiowa’s wa-ter from four engineering vendors in the Wichita area.

Kiowa seeks a Water/Wastewater Operator to serve the growing water and wastewater needs of the community. Councilmen Hill and Watson volun-teered to work with city employees Gary Johnson and James Duvall to determine wages, required experience, advertising, etc.

Council voted unanimously to hire Mayer Specialities of Goddard for regu-lar sewer main cleaning and inspection. Law said Mayer has the lower rate per lineal foot, when reviewing a three-year agreement. They’ll clean one-third of the city’s sewer lines each year. Cost is $8,813.75 in 2013; $9,736.10 in 2014; and $12,092.30 in 2015.

• Following a public meeting last February regarding the potential oil boom in Barber County, the South Central Oil Boom Steering Committee formed. As discussed at the February

By Yvonne MillerAnyone fortunate enough to hear Ki-

ley (Rieger) Feely sing as a high school student at Burlington, a college student at NWOSU or at her church, knows that South Barber students in Kiowa, Kan., are fortunate to have her lead them as their vocal teacher starting this fall.

Kiley brings more than a beautiful face and voice to match to her classroom. She brings a story of faith and survival that the average young woman doesn’t usually have to share.

Married to Shane Feely, principal at Burlington School, she is the mother to their three young sons: Jackson, a 3rd grader at Burlington; Hudson, a 1st grader at Burlington and Lincoln, age 4, who is a Pre-K student at South Barber and then attends Kiowa’s Daycare at the school.

When their youngest son was a baby, Kiley was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, at age 28. The couple was teaching at Okeene, where they had been seven years. She taught band and vocal at Okeene, as she had at Buffalo School the first two years of her career.

“I did it all,” she said of teaching vocal and band and being accompanist. Kiley said, “The community of Okeene and our family got me through.” She continued to teach while undergoing chemotherapy.

When the opportunity came to be

closer to Burlington, the Feelys seized it and Kiley was able to stay home for a year and rest. Shane worked for San-dridge Energy.

In remission for 2 ½ years, Kiley put her testimony of what she’s been through into a musical that she performs. She’s woven seven or eight of her favorite songs from hymns to contemporary piec-es into this tapestry that tells her life story thus far. She’ll perform her testimonial musical at the Grace Bible Fellowship in Kiowa, October 21.

Visiting with Kiley, it’s evident she puts her life experiences into her teach-ing. Describing herself as a teacher, Kiley said, “I have a good relationship with stu-dents – a positive rapport. If they do well in music, they’ll do well in life.”

“I like to teach the whole person, not just music,” Kiley said.

Watching her in action, it’s apparent her room is energized. As junior high stu-dents walked in, she had them stretching and moving immediately.

“We don’t stop – we go from bell to bell,” Kiley said of her classes. Selecting music for her students, Kiley said, “I like to stay current – sing the things they like and mix in classics.”

Her teaching philosophy comes from Dr. James Shrader, one of her teachers at NWOSU, where she graduated in 2001, after graduating from Burlington in 1997.

Kiley recalled, “Dr. Shrader always said, ‘There is no justification for medi-ocrity.’”

She describes her position as K-12 vocal teacher at South Barber as “a dream job.” She has a high school choir of 42, she describes as talented. She credits Carla Mitchel, who retired as South Bar-ber vocal teacher at the end of last year. While in college, Kiley student-taught under Mitchel.

“I praise God for Mrs. (Donita) Ragan (SB accompanist). She makes rehearsals so much better. She’s very talented,” Ki-ley said.

Kiley said she loves teaching, “Be-cause I get to sing all the time.” No sur-prise she is on the Praise Team at the Driftwood Christian Church. Her parents Rod and Peggy Rieger are in Newcastle, Okla., where he is a pastor.

When Kiley is not doing something musical, she likes photography and “han-gin’ out with family.” The Feelys like mu-sical concerts, skiing, ocean cruises and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

By Yvonne MillerWhat could be worse than having

your mother-in-law live at your house? Try having both your mother-in-law and your mother living with you — at the same time!

That’s the comedic nightmare for couple Dan and Abby, played by Jason Thayer and Brandy Quinlan-Johnson in the Border Line Theatre’s fall production “Red Hot Mamas.”

Border Line’s fall show is a little later than usual, because of scheduling con-flicts. Make attending one of the dinner theatre’s one of your holiday outings with friends. Saturday evening dinner theatre shows and Sunday afternoon matinees will be the first two weekends of Decem-ber – the 1st and 2nd – and the 8th and 9th. Performances are at the Community

Building in Kiowa, Kan. Justin Rugg returns to the director’s

chair for this comedy “Red Hot Mamas.”The plot centers around Dan and

Abby, a successful, married couple whose peaceful life comes to an abrupt halt when both of their widowed mothers land in their home. The fireworks begin as each woman tries to stake her claim in the combined household.

In real life, Jason Thayer is from Kio-wa and was in Border Line’s production of “Done to Death.” Brandy is new to Kiowa and the BLT stage. She is married to Kiowa’s Police Chief Steven Johnson.

They are joined by cast members: Keith Fink, Kiowa’s United Methodist Minister, who previously appeared on the BLT stage; Bud Ruggia, Kiowa’s Congregational UCC Minister who will

Plan a holiday evening with Border Line Theatre’s ‘Red Hot Mamas’

appear with BLT for the first time; Bob Gilliland of Alva, with a theatrical back-ground and a newcomer to Border Line; Bev Anderson of Kiowa, who has ap-peared in many BLT productions; Mary Ellen Wilhelm of Kiowa, who is also a BLT veteran performer; and Justin Phil-lips of Alva, who has also appeared on the Border Line stage.

Red Hot Mamas was written by Da-vid W. Christner who was born in Ten-nessee and raised in a small farming community in southwestern Oklahoma.

Put on your holiday finest and come out for an evening at the theatre in Ki-owa. In keeping with tradition, a fire grilled steak dinner will start out your evening. Contact Shirts and More in Ki-owa for ticket information, and watch the Newsgram for ads.

On July 1, 2011, the “voter ID” law, enacted in 2012 by the overwhelming passage of State Question 746, went into effect.

The law requires all voters to produce a government-issued form of identifica-tion to prove their identity before they are allowed to vote. A document used for proof of identity must include your name, which must match your name on your voter registration record, a photo-graph of you, and an expiration date that is later than election day.

“Your name on your proof of identity must match your name in the Precinct Registry,” Kelly Stein, Alfalfa County Election Board Secretary said.

Voters whose full legal name is on both their proof of identity and on their voter registration record should have no problem at the polls. However, vot-ers whose names have changed due to marriage or divorce and voters who may have registered to vote under a nickname or a variation of their full legal name, may encounter difficulties.

“Voters who don’t have proof of identity, or whose name on the voter reg-istration record does not match the name on their proof of identity, will have to vote by provisional ballot.” Stein said. ‘

Stein said, “I want to encourage all registered voters in Alfalfa County to

verify that they have registered to vote using the same name that appears on their driver license or other primary form of identification.”

In order to verify voter registration information, voters may contact the Alfalfa County Election Board at 596-2718, or they may visit the State Elec-tion Board Polling Place Locator web-site (http://www.ok.gov/elections/ppl/index.php) and enter the information requested. The voter’s name will display as it appears in the voter registration da-tabase.

A voter who wants to change his or her name on their voter registration re-cord must fill out and mail a new Okla-homa Voter Registration Application form. The form is available online at www.elections.ok.gov, at all tag agen-cies, and at most libraries and post of-fices in Oklahoma. Voter registration ap-plications may be submitted at any time, but must be received at least 24 days before an election for the change to be in effect for the election.

meeting, the group hired Matrix of Colo-rado to be their voice in dealing with oil companies.

At that time, Barber County paid Matrix $30,000, with the county paying 60 percent of the total; Medicine Lodge paying 25 percent; and Kiowa the re-mainder, $7500.

Law said Matrix needs more money to finish out the year. Kiowa’s portion would be $1500. Molz questioned giv-ing more to Matrix at this point.

“What are they actually doing for us?” Molz asked.

Law replied, “When dealing with oil companies, we need a professional mouth piece. You are getting a bang for your buck.”

Molz still questioned the need for Matrix.

Lambert, Poland and Watson voted to pay the additional $1500 to Matrix.

Molz and Hill voted no. The measure passed 3-2. The amount will be paid from the Economic Development budget within the general fund.

Matrix plans a public meeting at the Heritage Center in Medicine Lodge, Oc-tober 29 at 7 p.m. The intent of the meet-ing is for Matrix to present elected offi-cials and the public with an overview of what they’ve done and what they hope to do in the future.

• Council took no action regarding whether or not there is interest in utiliz-ing city funds or debt capacity to assist in developing moderate-income hous-ing.

• Reporting for Kiowa Police Chief Steven Johnson, Law said the chief re-ceived three applications and has two more arriving for the open police officer position.

Law said the police department re-

ceived the Crown Victoria police car from the Kansas Highway Patrol that was approved by council last month. The car is being equipped for the de-partment.

• When Lambert asked for an update on demolition of the old bowling alley. Law said someone came to him and said they could do it cheaper than the near $150,000 estimate. This will be further researched.

• McClellan said he’s closer to get-ting paperwork completed for tax sales of property within the city.

• Following a five-minute executive session, council approved a change in the severance package listed in Admin-istrator Law’s contract. Law said he re-quested the change from one month of pay to six months.

When asked if he has plans to leave Kiowa, Law said, “none whatsoever.”

The Cherokee High School Speech & Debate team invites the community to a night of laughter, as members of the faculty perform the play, “Superfreaks” by Scott Haan. Admission to the play is free, and the curtain for the production will raise at 7 p.m. on Thursday, October

25, 2012, in the Cherokee High School Auditorium.

In addition, the speech team mem-bers will be introduced to the commu-nity during a cake and pie auction, also in the auditorium at 6:45, before the fac-ulty play. The proceeds of the auction

will be used to offset the cost of tourna-ment entry fees, travel and lodging ex-penses. The team consists of 21 students this year, with a tournament schedule starting in early November and lasting through the State Tournament in April at the University of Oklahoma.
