By Helen BarrettStudents seeking careers in health

care and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) careers will now have the opportunity to learn in the latest state-of-the-art facilities at the Alva and Fairview campuses of Northwest Technology Center.

Dedications were held at both facilities

on Monday, Oct. 19. State career and technology officials, representatives of the architectural and construction firms, Speaker of the House Jeff Hickman, members of the Northwest Technology Center Board of Education, staff, students and other guests attended the ceremony.Superintendent Harris

SpeaksDr. Gerald Harris,

Superintendent of Northwest Technology Center, welcomed guests to the event. He introduced board members present, which included Dean Meyer, president; Stan Kline, clerk; Dr. Carl Newton, member; and Butch Edingfield, member.

Harris introduced members of the architectural and construction firms and said, “If you like what you see today, they’re responsible. If you don’t like what you see, they’re responsible.”

He also thanked Woods County Commissioner Randy McMurphy and the crew of District 2 for their volunteered

labor in preparing the dirt work at the new facility.

“They saved us a lot of dollars,” Harris said.

The board and administration began discussing the need to expand facilities and services approximately three years ago. They focused on two main areas of need: rural health care and STEM careers.

“You can’t pick up a newspaper without seeing that students need these high tech courses,” Harris said.

They determined to focus on practical nursing

and bio-med tech courses at both campuses. “We planned for implementation to occur in about three phases,” Harris said. “Part of the reason, of course, is that we were saving our money to afford these programs. It also takes several years to get state approval from the board of nursing for the department of career tech.”

By Lynn L. MartinLet’s visit a minute on something you

probably don’t spend a lot of time think-ing about: copyright law. However, every time we videotape the Cinderella pag-eant we get remind-ed. We’ll get back to that at the end of this piece.

It is not unfair to say that copyright consideration has

pretty well disappeared with the increas-ing growth of the Internet. That’s both good and bad. It is good when millions of people can read or view documents or images that educate them in some way. Most everybody enjoys the many humorous captioned photos or videos. It’s neat that 16- or 17-year-old girls can perform a popular song in a local pag-eant. I doubt that will cause one lost sale to the artist who made it famous.

One of my must-visit places each day on the Internet is the Drudge Report. It is a plain Jane page of hundreds of links to interesting news sites all over the globe. The Drudge Report doesn’t “copy” the copyrighted material. Instead, they pro-vide a link the web site where it is host-ed.

The bad side of placing your pro-

prietary material on the Internet is it is easy to steal and be used by others with-out compensation to the creator. For the average small business or even small newspaper, this is not a big deal. Indeed, if we are given credit for our creative work, we’re pretty content.

One reason is the copyright owner must register each work with the U. S. Copyright office if we want copyright protection with punitive damages. If we don’t fill out the paper work and register it, then we can collect only actual dam-ages. It’s not worth $10,000 in lawyer fees to sue someone for stealing content from a $1 newspaper.

On the other hand, there are big firms like Microsoft where their intellectual property (Windows operating system) has been stolen by millions of people in one country ... like China. Major movie studios face the same problem hoping their $100 million dollar productions have enough sales to pay for the creation of the project before pirates pilfer their movies and sell them on their own.

So a move has been underway for several years with several countries to toughen copyright and intellectual prop-erty enforcement. The project is called by TPP or sometimes TRIPs (Trade-Re-lated Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights administered by the World Trade Organization).Alarming Comment from WikiLeaks

Last week, WikiLeaks released the “confidential” text of the TRIPs intellec-tual property rights chapter dated Oct. 5. A friend of mine sent some of the provi-sions and commented, “It is absolutely terrifying.” Here’s what he wrote:

These are just a few of its most dan-gerous pieces:

• Compel ISPs to take down websites without any sort of court order, just like SOPA.

• Extend the U.S.’s copyright regime to require copyrights stand for life plus 70 years, preventing anyone from using works that belong in the public domain. (Article QQ.G.6)

• Criminalize whistleblowing by ex-tending trade secrets laws without any mandatory exemptions for whistleblow-

ers or investigative journalists. (QQ.H.8)• End anonymity online by forcing

every domain name to be associated with a real name and address. (Article QQ.C.12)

• Make it illegal to unlock, modify or generally tinker with a device you own. (Article QQ.G.10)

• Export the U.S.’s broken copyright policies to the rest of the world without expanding any of the free speech protec-tions, like fair use. (Article QQ.G.17)

The worst part is that this is just one of the TPP’s 30 chapters. Please contact your congressman to vote “NO” on the TPP.

For years, governments have held critics of the massive Trans-Pacific Part-nership agreement in a perfect catch 22. Officials brushed off public outcry and concern by claiming that the dissenters didn’t have all the facts.

This was by design – the 12 country trade deal was negotiated entirely be-hind closed doors by industry lobbyists and government appointees, and even now the text of the agreement is still classified.

But late last week, WikiLeaks re-leased the final text of the Intellectual Property chapter. If accurate, those ex-cuses won’t work anymore.

If this passes, and if it includes the provisions reported by WikiLeaks, Your Internet provider could be forced to take down your Facebook page, YouTube channel, web site or email account that transmits any copyrighted material.

Already, we experience a little of this at the Alva Review-Courier. For example, we videotaped and posted the recent Cinderella Pageant Talent Show. Most of the time we use YouTube as the hosting service because it is free. However, YouTube has very smart fil-tering software and it quickly detected that some of the Cinderella contestants sang copyrighted songs. As a result, we received a message that our Cin-derella video had been blocked in sev-eral countries (those part of the World Trade Organization, no doubt, who are enforcing copyright laws more strictly than is the USA).

Marshall Funeral Home of Waynoka. Bobby Dale Yadon Sr., son of the

late Norman and Mildred Yadon, was born November 13, 1933, in Wilburton, Kansas, and passed away October 17, 2015, in Alva, Oklahoma, at the age of 81, surrounded by his loving family.

Bob grew up in Thomas, Oklahoma. He later moved to Seiling and finished his high school years in Alva where he graduated with the Class of 1951. On July 3, 1954, he was united in marriage to Beverly Ann Reed in Alva. He attended Northwestern Oklahoma State University (NWOSU) where he lettered in football and baseball and during the summer played D league baseball. In 1956, Bob was drafted in the Army and stationed in Augusta, Georgia, where he served two years and was promoted to E-3 specialist. In 1958, Bob received an honorable discharge and he and his family returned to Alva. Bob returned to NWOSU and finished his last year of college and received his bachelor’s degree in education.

In 1959, Bob began his 37 years of teaching and coaching. His career took him to Bentley, Kansas, and Coldwater, Kansas. While working as a full-time teacher and coach, he also drove back to Alva until he received his master’s degree in education. In 1971, he and his family moved to Spearville, Kansas, until 1975 when the Yadon family returned to Oklahoma. In 1975 Bob was hired as the summer director, junior high principal and coach at Waynoka Public Schools. His successful coaching career awarded him and the Waynoka Railroader football team the state championship in 1976. He also coached many successful basketball, baseball, track and softball teams. In June of 1996 Bob retired.

Bob stayed very active after his retirement, holding numerous part-

time positions coaching and substitute teaching. He especially enjoyed teaching and coaching his grandkids from the sidelines.

Bob is preceded in death by his parents, Norman and Mildred “NanNan and Darci” Yadon; his wife, Beverly Ann Yadon; his son, Bryon Denzil Yadon; and his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Ray and Christie Reed.

By Dalton Jantz, Chapter Reporter

The month of October has been an extremely busy time for the FFA chapter and the members.

On Oct. 5-11 Timberlake 4-H and FFA members exhibited livestock and projects at the Tulsa State Fair. The first part of the week was the market animal show. Jamie Thorp and Jake Thorp showed their prospect and market steers. Jamie placed at the top of her class with both her prospect steer and her Chianina market steer. Jake Thorp also did well with his prospect and market steers. Jake won Breed Champion Simmental with his prospect and placed extremely well with his market steers. Both Jamie and Jake Thorp qualified for the Junior Livestock Auction with their market steers. Leo Moore, Samantha Phillips and Henslee Powell stayed busy in the swine barn. The 4-H and FFA members exhibited their market barrows and represented the school very well.

The second part of the week Joel Pecha, Cade Jenlink, Ethan Jenlink and Bethany Fesmire exhibited their breeding heifers. All students placed at the top of their classes and demonstrated great showmanship skills. Henslee Powell and Riley Hensley showed breeding gilts in the swine barn. One of Powell’s crossbred gilts was selected to sell in the Breeding Gilt Sale. Powell’s gilt was one of 35 gilts that made the sale out of 1,000 or more gilts – a huge accomplishment.

Timberlake FFA members also entered their Native Range Display Boards. Cade Jenlink and Braydon Frech received Grand Champion, Jamie Thorp and Kamber LeForce received Reserve Grand Champion, while Jake Thorp and Camdon Frech placed third overall with

9 Physical Therapist Tips to Help You #AgeWell

We can't stop time. Or can we? The right type and amount of physical activity can help stave off many age-related health problems. Physical therapists, who are movement experts, prescribe physical activity that can help you overcome pain, gain and maintain movement, and preserve your independence—often helping you avoid the need for surgery or long-term use of prescription drugs. Here are nine things physical therapists want you to know to #AgeWell.

OCTOBER IS NATIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY MONTH

580-327-0732

1. Chronic pain doesn't have to be the boss of you. Each year 116 million Americans experience chronic pain from arthritis or other conditions, costing billions of dollars in medical treatment, lost work time, and lost wages. Proper exercise, mobility, and pain management techniques can ease pain while moving and at rest, improving your overall quality of life.

2. You can get stronger when you're older. Research shows that improvements in strength and physical function are possible in your 60s, 70s, and even 80s and older with an appropriate exercise program. Progressive resistance training, in which muscles are exercised against resistance that gets more difficult as strength improves, has been shown to prevent frailty.

3. You may not need surgery or drugs for low back pain. Low back pain is often over-treated with surgery and drugs despite a wealth of scientific evidence demonstrating that physical therapy can be an effective alternative—and with much less risk than surgery and long-term use of prescription medications.

4. You can lower your risk of diabetes with exercise. One in four Americans over the age of 60 has diabetes. Obesity and physical inactivity can put you at risk for this disease. But a regular, appropriate physical activity routine is one of the best ways to prevent—and manage—type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

5. Exercise can help you avoid falls—and keep your independence. About one in three U.S. adults

age 65 or older falls each year. More than half of adults over 65 report problems with movement, including walking 1/4 mile, stooping and standing. Group-based exercises led by a physical therapist can improve movement and balance and reduce your risk of falls. It can also reduce your risk of hip fractures (95 percent of which are caused by falls).

6. Your bones want you to exercise.Osteoporosis or weak bones affects more than half of Americans over the age of 54. Exercises that keep you on your feet, like walking, jogging, or dancing, and exercises using resistance, such as weightlifting, can improve bone strength or reduce bone loss.

7. Your heart wants you to exercise. Heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the US. One of the top ways of preventing it and other cardiovascular diseases? Exercise! Research shows that if you already have heart disease, appropriate exercise can improve your health.

8. Your brain wants you to exercise. People who are physically active—even later in life—are less likely to develop memory problems or Alzheimer's disease, a condition which affects more than 40% of people over the age of 85.

9. You don't "just have to live with" bladder leakage. More than 13 million women and men in the US have bladder leakage. Don't spend years relying on pads or rushing to the bathroom. Seek help from a physical therapist.




By Yvonne Miller As reported last week in the Newsgram,

the Kiowa City Council hired a new city administrator. He is Lou Leone from Colorado. He’ll move to Kiowa with his family sometime in November. This was announced at the October meeting of the city council last week.

Mayor Brandon Farney called the meeting to order with all members present,

including Tom Wells, Bill Watson, R.L. Simpson, Russel Molz and Brian Hill. City attorney Laurel McClellan and City Clerk Marlo Rugg also sat at the council table.

At the September meeting, the council sent a request for a CUP (Conditional Use Permit) back to the Planning Commission for further review as some of the details had changed. This is to allow construction of a storage building on property owned by Custom Rope that is currently zoned as single family residential.

Three requirements are placed on this CUP: building must be set back five feet from north east and west property lines, no item can be stored outside the building except a trash receptacle and, any conveyance of storm water from the rooftop of the building shall not interfere or damage neighboring property. If any damage occurs the property owner is responsible.

The council approved the CUP and passed Ordinance No. 424 to complete the deal.

The council engaged in a great deal of discussion regarding the purchase of a forklift and a trailer to haul recycling. They discussed two bids submitted by Bogner Chevrolet for a trailer. A motion was on

the table to purchase one of the trailers for $4,385. However, that motion died. That’s after Hill and Simpson said the five foot ramps are too short and would be too steep. They believe that is a major safety concern for Street Superintendent Gary Johnson and other city crew members who would be loading the trailer. Therefore, no action was yet taken on the trailer or the forklift.

Another council consideration was whether to purchase large storage containers (8 feet by 40 feet) to hold city items that are currently in the old, dilapidated brick storage building (that the council plans to eventually destroy) until that facility can be replaced. Johnson said he thinks they don’t need to make the purchase, so the item was tabled. He said the old building is sufficient for storage at this point.

Sewer IssuesRegarding the sewer lagoons fence, a

portion had been removed for reshaping the pond. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment requires part of that fence be replaced. Graves Fencing of Kiowa submitted two bids for the project. One was to replace all the fencing

By Marione MartinTwo men working in a field saw a

woman jump into their flatbed pickup and drive away. There was also a man on the back trying not to get thrown off.

According to court documents, law enforcement had contact with the woman earlier that day, Monday, Oct. 12. A fight in progress was reported in No Hope on the north side of Cherokee about 2:22 p.m. Alfalfa County Deputy Loren Nusser asked that a police officer respond as he was in Goltry.

When Nusser arrived, Cherokee Police Chief Mike Andrews had broken up the fight between Tammy Free and Lance Miller. They both admitted to hitting or pushing but neither of them wanted to press charges. Both agreed that Free needed to leave. Mitchell Teepee was at the house to help Free move her things. Free and Teepee then left the property.

At approximately 6:26 p.m. Deputy Nusser was at an accident scene west of Carmen when he received a report of a stolen vehicle. Adam Smith reported

that he and his boss, Troy Campbell, had been working in a field when they saw Campbell’s white flatbed pickup being driven by a woman cross the field. The pickup then turned around and drove back toward the road. A man was on the back trying not to get thrown off.

Sheriff Rick Wallace responded to the stolen vehicle scene. Also arriving to assist were deputies Vernon Sanders and Dillin Munholland along with Game Warden Ben Bickerstaff. When Deputy Nusser arrived, he found Sheriff Wallace talking to Mitchell Teepee.

Teepee said he had been driving Tammy Free home to Enid when she made him stop the vehicle near County Road 720 and Cotton. Teepee said Free got out of the vehicle and then jumped into a 2007 Chevrolet half-ton flatbed pickup and drove through the field. He said he was able to jump on the back of the pickup before she drove off, and he was trying to get her to stop. He said she kept calling him Lance.

Free was approximately a half mile to the east with the vehicle owners. Nusser

talked to the men who agreed to write statements. He then read Free her Miranda Rights and asked her what happened.

Nusser stated that Free told him she and Teepee were driving down Cotton Road when he started talking about going somewhere private. She said she wasn’t in the mood. She said he pulled the vehicle over and tried to kiss her. She said she got out of the car and got into the flatbed pickup and drove off.

Free told Nusser she got scared of the farm machinery she saw in the field and stopped. The owner told her to stay where she was. She said she saw Teepee running back to the vehicle they had been driving.

Deputy Nusser placed Free under arrest. She gave consent to have her vehicle searched, and nothing illegal was found. She requested that the vehicle be released to Teepee.

Tammy Darlene Free, 52, of Cherokee has been charged with unauthorized use of a vehicle, a felony. The crime is punishable by a fine of $500 to $5,000 or imprisonment for one to five years or both.

By Marione MartinChecking on a possible camping

issue, a park ranger ended up arresting an Enid man on drug charges. According to the report on file, the incident occurred at Great Salt Plains Lake in Alfalfa County about 12:15 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 11. Park Ranger Ryan Webster was told by park staff there was a possible camping issue. He was provided with a location and a vehicle description. When he located the vehicle, he saw a man sitting in the driver’s seat and a woman in the front passenger seat of the PT Cruiser.

While Ranger Webster spoke with the man, identified as Dwayne Arthur Brown, he observed a red and black torch lighter sitting in the floorboard between Brown’s feet. He saw a blue pill bottle sitting in the open area of the console between the two.

When Brown exited the vehicle at Webster’s request, Webster saw an orange cap similar to the type that belongs on a syringe. It was in the storage area located on the driver’s side door.

The passenger said she did not have

any identification. Brown said he didn’t know her name but later gave her first name and said he was friends with her father.

The passenger later provided her name and birth date. A records check showed she had a suspended license. A records check on Brown also showed his license was suspended, and there was a valid warrant for his arrest in Alfalfa County.

Since Brown was being arrested and his passenger did not have a valid license, Webster requested a wrecker to impound the vehicle. Prior to turning it over to the wrecker, he inventoried the vehicle. He found a syringe with an orange cap located in the storage area of the driver’s side door. There was a small amount of liquid inside that field tested positive for methamphetamine.

Further inventory of the vehicle turned up one pill bottle containing a white residue and another bottle with two pills. One was identified as trazadone, not a controlled substance. The other was identified as methylphenidate 36 mg, a schedule two controlled dangerous substance.

Also found was a bank style bag in the rear most area of the vehicle. Inside was a used syringe, a small baggie, a spoon with residue and a package of rolling papers.

During the inventory, Brown suggested, “Why don’t you search her” and “Maybe the drugs are hers.”

Webster talked with the passenger who removed a glass pipe from her pants but said Brown gave it to her and told her to hide it.

The passenger did not want to stay at the lake and had been unable to reach anyone by phone. At her request, she was given a ride to a gas station. There were two cats in the car that belonged to Brown. The passenger said she could not take them so animal control of Jet was called.

Dewayne Arthur Brown, 59, of Enid has been charged with possession of controlled dangerous substance within 1,000 feet of a park or school, a felony. He is also charged with two misdemeanors (1) unlawful possession of paraphernalia and (2) unlawful possession of controlled drug without a valid prescription.

Enid man arrested at Great Salt Plains

head, trunk external and trunk internal injuries.

The wreck occurred on Saturday, Oct. 17, at 8:55 p.m. on County Road 530 at Cleveland Road about one and one-half miles west of Carmen in Alfalfa County.

According to the OHP, the 2013 Chevrolet pickup was southbound on County Road 530 at a high rate of speed approaching a “T” intersection. The vehicle rolled three times before coming to rest on its wheels.

The condition of the driver is listed as apparently normal. Unsafe speed exceeding the legal limit is listed as the cause of the wreck. None of the pickup’s occupants were wearing seatbelts.

Trooper Darrin Lancaster of the Alfalfa County Detachment investigated with assistance from Trooper Randy McCullough, the Alfalfa County Sheriff’s Office, Oklahoma Wildlife officers, Carmen Fire Department and Alfalfa County EMS.

Saturday. Three including the driver were 17-year-olds, two males and one female. Because they are juveniles, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) did not release their names. The other male passenger, Henry Washington, is 20.

According to the OHP report, the pickup was driven by a juvenile male. He was transported by Helena EMS to St. Mary’s Hospital in Enid and then medi-flighted to Presbyterian Hospital in Oklahoma City where he was admitted in critical condition with head, trunk external, trunk internal, arm and leg injuries.

The juvenile female was taken by Cherokee EMS to St. Mary’s Hospital in Enid where she was admitted in stable condition with arm, trunk external and trunk internal injuries. A male passenger, age 17, was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital by Cherokee EMS and admitted with trunk external injuries. Washington was transported by Helena EMS to St. Mary’s where he was admitted in stable condition with

KDH sweetens physiciansearchBy Yvonne Miller

In search of another doctor, the Kiowa District Hospital Board of Directors held a 15 minute special meeting via phone conference Oct. 9. Members on the call were Pat Myers, Chantae Simpson, Jeff Miller and Jim Parker. KDH CEO Margaret Grismer was also on the call.

Grismer told the board she advises reevaluation of their recruitment strategy. She also recommends KDH representation at a job fair at Kansas University Oct. 20. Board member Brenna May and hospital CFO Janell Goodno reportedly attended.

The board entered a few minutes executive session. Upon return to open session, the board voted to change their physician recruiting strategy to include, “the candidate must have chief of staff potential and be a U.S. citizen” and to raise the base salary to $250,000 - $300,000.

A new doctor at KDH will join Dr. Christie Leal, D.O., and Physician Assistant Melissa Stroh.

Miranda Allen of Kiowa, Kansas, will be the featured guest speaker Saturday, Oct. 24, as Women for Kansas launches the Cowley County Chapter. Allen is CEO of Radiofrequency Safety International (RSI) of Kiowa.

Organizers are excited to welcome all interested women to this kick-off gathering. They believe there is a strong need for women to use their voices and their votes to influence what happens in Kansas. The mission

for Women for Kansas is to recruit, motivate and educate women who will actively participate in the process of electing moderates to public office and who will advocate for moderate politics. For more information call 620-262-2326 or 316-706-6330 or email [email protected].

The event is from 10-11:30 a.m. in the Community Council Room at the Winfield City Building in the 800 block of Millington, Kansas.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Po-lice briefly evacuated Oklahoma's state Capitol building because of a fire alarm.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol spokesman Capt. Paul Timmons says authorities believe the Tuesday morning alarm was triggered as a re-sult of construction in the building. Workers and visitors were told to stay out of the building for around a half-hour.

Uniformed troopers walked through the halls and notified work-ers and visitors that the alarm was not a drill. Dozens of employees gathered outside the building and on the Capitol lawn.

House and Senate staff offices are being renovated on the first and third floors as part of a $120 million upgrade to the nearly 100-year-old building.

By Andrew Welsh-HugginsCOLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio's

decision to delay executions another full year while it hunts for lethal injection drugs highlights an ongoing dilemma faced by the remaining death penalty states.

Although support for capital punish-ment continues, states are struggling to find a legal means to carry it out, and that has created an opening for opponents hoping to end the death penalty permanently.

"It really underscores the public's grow-ing distrust and dissatisfaction with state corrections departments being able to ad-minister the death penalty," Kevin Werner, who leads Ohioans to Stop Executions, said Tuesday.

Shortages and legal fights over drugs and their source are occurring in several states, among them Arkansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma. Yet capital punishment sup-porters say older methods such as hanging, electrocution and the firing squad are still viable options.

"We've got plenty of electric and plenty of rope," said state Sen. Bill Seitz, a Cincin-nati Republican.

On Monday, Ohio Gov. John Kasich used reprieves to push back 11 executions scheduled for next year and one in early 2017. Ohio now has 25 inmates scheduled to die, including some in 2019.

Ohio's prison agency said it needs more time to find drugs. It hasn't executed anyone since January 2014.

Death penalty supporters acknowledge the shortage could be the wedge in the door that leads to abolition of capital pun-ishment. In central Ohio, Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien complains the state has "a functional moratorium" in place.

Nebraska has no way to execute inmates because it lacks two of the three required lethal injection drugs for its protocol. Vot-ers will decide next year whether to keep a legislative repeal of capital punishment in place.

Like Ohio, Nebraska has looked over-

seas for execution drugs, which the Food and Drug Administration opposes. Two years ago, a federal appeals court ruled in a case brought by death row inmates in Tennessee, Arizona and California that the FDA was wrong to allow sodium thiopental to be imported for use in executions.

Congress could easily correct that rul-ing to allow such importation, said Kent Scheidegger, executive director of the Cal-ifornia-based Criminal Justice Legal Foun-dation, which supports capital punishment.

"It is preposterous that well-deserved and already excessively delayed sentences are further delayed due to a completely ar-tificial shortage of lethal injection drugs," Scheidegger said.

Last week, the attorney general's office in Oklahoma announced no executions will be scheduled until at least next year as the office investigates why the state used the wrong drug during a lethal injection in Jan-uary and nearly did so again last month.

This month, an Arkansas judge halted executions of eight inmates who are chal-lenging a law that allows the state to with-hold any information that could publicly identify the manufacturers or sellers of its execution drugs.

On Oct. 1, Virginia executed serial kill-er Alfredo Prieto but only after obtaining pentobarbital from the Texas prison system. Texas has continued to purchase supplies of compounded pentobarbital without saying how much it has or where it came from.

Other death penalty states also are look-ing at alternatives to lethal injection. Ten-nessee passed a law last year to reinstate the electric chair if it can't get lethal drugs, and Utah has reinstated the firing squad as a backup method.

Oklahoma approved nitrogen gas as an alternative method in April. But that's just as flawed as lethal injection because it confuses medicine with punishment, said Robert Blecker, a New York Law School professor who favors capital punishment for the worst offenders.

Blecker, author of "The Death of Pun-ishment: Searching for Justice Among the Worst of the Worst," notes there has never been a botched execution by firing squad.

"How we kill those whom we rightfully detest should in no way resemble how we put to sleep beloved pets and how we anes-thetize ourselves," he said.

Execution drug shortage makes some think of firing squads

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — A con-struction company's claim that the Uni-versity of Oklahoma and another firm violated the state's competitive bidding laws has spawned a legal dispute that could delay a renovation of the school's football stadium.

The Norman Transcript (http://bit.ly/1RmgqeJ ) reports the lowest bidder for the project, HME, claims the school and general contractor manipulated the scope of work after bidding opened so they could award the contract to W&W Steel. According to court documents, HME claims the university simply pre-ferred W&W because of their experi-ence with stadium projects.

A public notice regarding the univer-

sity's award of the project acknowledges that W&W was the second-lowest bid-der and that it was awarded the contract based on their experience with similar projects. HME claims in its petition that experience in stadium construction proj-ects was not a part of the requirements bidders were asked to meet.

HME also claims W&W didn't sub-mit a Contractor's Qualification State-ment, which was required by the bid documents.

"Protecting the integrity of the com-petitive bidding system is critical. If po-tential bidders on public works projects lose confidence in integrity of the sys-tem and believe that the public body's discretion can be used as a way to ma-

nipulate the awarding of contracts to favored contractors, established bidders will no longer invest the time and re-sources necessary to bid public work," the motion states. "The public will then lose the benefit of the lowest competi-tive price. Thus, the public policy con-cerns override the interests of the parties in this matter."

Calls to the university were not im-mediately returned Tuesday.

HME filed its legal petition on Oct. 5. A court date has not yet been set to address the motion for temporary in-junction.

If a judge grants the motion, work underway on the stadium could come to a temporary halt.

By: John HannaTOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Build-

ing a new power plant for the Kansas Statehouse and four nearby state of-fice buildings would cost $3.3 million more than previously estimated, offi-cials said Tuesday, leading a Repub-lican legislator to call for GOP Gov. Sam Brownback's administration to reconsider

The new plant would contain equip-ment for heating and cooling the five buildings, and the state Department of Administration wants to build it on the site of a parking lot north of the State-house. It would replace an existing one in a sixth building, the Docking State Office building to the west of the Cap-itol. The department hopes to finish construction by the end of next year.

The department plans to demolish the Docking building after the new power plant is completed, saying it wouldn't be cost-effective to keep the office building open. The state built Docking in the 1950s and the depart-ment estimates that it needs between $75 million and $100 million worth of

maintenance.Mark McGivern, director of the

department's Office of Facilities and Property Management, told a legis-lative committee that the new power plant is now expected to cost $16.3 million instead of the $13 million pre-viously estimated. He said potential contractors became less eager to do the project as the economy improved, and an outside firm hired to project costs simply underestimated.

McGivern said the annual costs of running the new power plant will be cheaper than keeping Docking open. Also, he said, the department has taken steps to lower the costs of demolish-ing the office building so that the cost of both together will be between $19 million and $19.5 million, instead of between $17 million and $18 million.

"We looked at it as a single proj-ect," McGivern said.

McGivern disclosed the revised figures to a joint legislative committee that reviews state construction proj-ects. Republican Rep. Mark Hutton, of Wichita, asked the department to

reconsider an idea it has rejected — keeping the existing power plant while dismantling the rest of the office build-ing around it.

"The question of the energy center is up in the air, whether we build a new one or preserve what we have," Hutton said.

Democratic Sen. Laura Kelly, of Topeka, predicted the costs associated of the department's plan will continue to rise until it exceeds the $30 million estimate for the project she favors. She wants to shorten the building from 12 above-ground stories to three or four, for state offices.

As for the department's plan, she said, "I've never thought it was worth doing."

But McGivern said building a new power plant allows the state to implode the Docking building, rather than tak-ing it down floor by floor.

The state plans to finance the new plant through a private bank loan, pay-ing the debt off over 15 years at 2.33 percent interest in a lease-to-own ar-rangement.

New Kansas Statehouse power plant more costly than expected

Phone ScamsMayor Farney appointed Brett

Courson and Cris Holcomb to another four year term on the South Barber Recreation Commission.

The council agreed to donate rental cost of Kiowa’s Community Building for two upcoming events: Dec. 12 – “Give Back Day” by Barber County law enforcement where they’ll serve hamburgers, hotdogs, etc.; and Jan. 16 – the Kiowa District Hospital’s 3rd Annual “Jeans and Gems” fundraising meal and auction. This will raise funds to expand the physical therapy department.

Police Chief Steve Johnson said he’s had reports of phone scams in Kiowa: some callers say they are from the city and seeking personal information; another says they are from the IRS.

Kiowa’s contract with AEC will terminate as of Feb. 1, 2016. This contract provides AEC employee Jason Cloyd’s services with the City of Kiowa. The mayor has contacted AEC about this matter and plans to attend their October meeting along with a few city councilmembers who volunteered.

Rugg said she continues to have requests about Meals on Wheels. She found many restrictions through Elder Care at Great Bend with Meals on Wheels. She’s discussed a mobile meal program with Kiowa District Hospital CEO Margaret Grismer. Rugg said said Grismer is “very interested” in starting such a program through the manor where the hospital district’s meals are prepared. Manor Administrator Kim Balding will work with Rugg to get this program started.

around the lagoons for $29,178.96. The other bid was for $14,714.20 to replace just the portion required by the state. The council voted to accept the lower bid and just do that required portion of fencing.

Clerk Rugg said she spoke to Mayer Specialties about their recent scope work of Kiowa’s sewer system. Mayer’s equipment won’t go through some of the trouble spots such as a large hole in Run 1 and the tuberculation in runs 2 and 3. City water department employee Nathan Lambert said when Mayer ran a camera through some of those lines, they weren’t sure of the origin of the tie-in. He also said the tuberculation was so bad they couldn’t get a camera through some lines.

Lambert said there are numerous sewer problems along Main Street. He spoke of some areas that are saturated with grease. He said that “lots of shell casings” were found in one area. He said the city is working with Bill’s Repair on the project. Lambert also said that the utility company that bored through the city’s main was notified and will be invoiced for the repairs. The council took no action on the agenda item.
