By Marione MartinIt began with a rumble, became a

louder rumble that caused the house to vibrate, and then tapered off to silence. Numerous Alva residents were awak-ened Sunday morning by an earthquake.

According to the United State Geo-logical Survey (USGS), the quake oc-

curred at 3:03 a.m. with the epicenter located 9 miles south southwest of Alva. It was at a depth of 3.1 miles and had a magnitude of 2.4 on the Richter scale.

As earthquakes go, it was mild, but it served as a reminder of what our neigh-bors further to the south have been expe-riencing with growing frequency.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol is investigating this train and vehicle collision that occurred Tuesday just after 10 a.m. at Dewey and County Road 470 in Woods County. The location is southeast of Hopeton. The driver of the vehicle was fatally injured. No identification had been released at press time. Aerial photo by Lynn L. Martin

By Marione MartinA Cherokee man was arrested when

a deputy decided to check out a vehicle after dark in a city park. According to documents on file, Alfalfa County Depu-ty Sheriff David Gebers was driving east on East Second Street in Cherokee about 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 7. He noticed a pas-senger car parked in the city park’s park-ing lot with the headlights on. Knowing there should be no one in the city park af-ter dark, Gebers pulled in behind the car

and approached the driver’s side on foot. A woman, later identified as the

owner of the car, was seated in the back holding an infant. She rolled down her window and said the baby was fussing. Gebers looked to the front of the car and saw a male, later identified as Bri-an Keith Highfill, 45, of Cherokee, sit-ting in the front passenger seat. He then saw an open bottle of alcohol (whisky) in the middle console. He told Highfill to exit the vehicle. Highfill hesitated and continued to sit and look at the deputy. Gebers again told him to exit the vehi-cle, and he did. He was told to place his hands behind him, and Gebers did a pat-down. While doing the pat-down he no-ticed an odor that he recognized as mari-

juana. He asked Highfill if he had been smoking marijuana, but Highfill just looked at him. He asked a second time, and Highfill said yes. He was handcuffed and placed in the backseat of the patrol vehicle.

In a search of the passenger side front seat, a green leafy substance was found scattered across the floorboard. It field tested positive for marijuana. The sub-stance was collected and placed in an evidence bag. The bottle of alcohol was also collected. The vehicle owner gave permission to search the rest of the ve-hicle, but nothing else was found.

Highfill has been charged with pos-session of a controlled dangerous sub-stance, a misdemeanor.

While law enforcement and emergency respond-ers were busy with a train wreck Tuesday morn-ing, a call came in about 10:30 a.m. for a semi and pickup collision. The wreck occurred north of Alva at Highway 281 and McClain Road in Woods County. The pickup at the intersection collided with the semi located to the right. It was not known at press time if anyone was injured. Aerial photo by Lynn L. Martin



By Yvonne Miller At the January meeting of the Bur-

lington Board of Education Thursday, Superintendent Glen Elliott was re-employed for the 2014-15 school year. Board members thanked Elliott for the good job he continues to do for the school. Elliott is in his 23rd year as su-perintendent at Burlington.

Board members present were Presi-dent Terry Graham, Beth Guffy, Roger Allen, Allison Armbruster and Aaron Smith. Superintendent Elliott, Prin-cipal Shane Feely and minutes clerk Linda Gordon also attended with no guests present.

The superintendent expressed his gratitude to board members for their years of service and hard work. Elliott presented each board member with a certificate of appreciation, acknowl-edging their years of service: Aaron Smith, two years; Allison Armbruster, five years; Beth Guffy, nine years; Roger Allen, nine years; and Terry

Graham, 18 years.Armbruster was unopposed in the

filing period for Office No. 4. She be-gins serving another five-year term.

Elliott announced that the Burl-ington Education Foundation annual meeting is Tuesday, Feb. 11, at 6:30 p.m. in the school auditorium.

New Construction UpdateElliott told the board all the paper-

work is signed and ready to go on the bond-issue building projects. This in-cludes a new superintendent home, a band/safe room and a vocational agri-culture shop.

Elliott said Pope Construction should be moving their trailers in within a week and a half. Owner Tim Pope said estimated construction time is 210 “working days.” Pope told the superintendent he and other leaders on the project will check in now and then, but not be on site every day. Elliott said they are contacting dirt movers to start.

Superintendent Elliott re-employed for 2014-15 school year; construction to beginBurlington Education Foundation meeting Feb. 11 A new state law that took effect on

Nov. 1, 2013, changes the dates and times for early voting in Oklahoma. Now early voting begins a day earlier – on Thursday – and continues on Friday, Alfalfa County Election Board Secretary Kelly Stein said today.

Of special note: all early voting on Monday is discontinued.

These changes have occurred due to the approval of SB 869, which was signed into law in May 2013. As a result, Thursday, Feb. 6, is the first day for in-person absentee “early” voting in the February 11 annual school election.

A two-member, bipartisan Absentee Voting Board will be on duty each day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday and Friday preceding all elections to assist absentee voters.

“In-person absentee voters fill out an application form when they get to the office. They are not required to give a reason for voting absentee,” Stein said. “They are required to swear that they have not voted a regular mail absentee ballot and that they will not vote at their polling places on Election Day.”

The Absentee Voting Board verifies a voter’s identification and registration information and then issues the voter’s ballots. The voter marks the ballots in a voting area and then puts them in the voting device. “It is very much like voting at a precinct polling place,” said Stein.

Contact the County Election Board located at Alfalfa County Courthouse, 300 S. Grand Ave., second floor, Cherokee, for more information.

The telephone number is 580-596-2718.

Early voting begins on Feb. 6


By Lynn L. Martin(This article comes from University

College in London, England.)A study says hap-

pier seniors can look forward to greater mobility as they age than their gloomier peers, new research suggests.

The findings don’t prove that hap-piness preserves mo-bility. However, “the

research suggests that enjoyment of life contributes to healthier and more ac-tive old age,” said study author Andrew Steptoe, director of the Institute of Epi-demiology and Health Care at Univer-sity College London. And it’s not just because healthier people are happier and more energetic, he said.

The researchers, who study happi-ness and how it relates to life, wanted to understand the physical effects of happiness.

“We have previously shown that pos-itive well-being and enjoyment of life are predictors of longer life,” Steptoe said. “Older people who report greater enjoyment are less likely to die over the next five to eight years than those with lower enjoyment of life.”

For this study, published Jan. 20 in CMAJ, the Canadian Medical Associa-tion Journal, researchers tracked almost 3,200 men and women aged 60 and over in England. The participants took sur-veys designed to test their levels of well-being. For instance, they were asked if they enjoy the things they do, being in the company of other people and if they feel full of energy. They also responded to questions about their ability to handle


Lynn Says

Enjoying life keeps older people living longerday-to-day physical activities such as getting dressed and showering. Some took a test that measured how fast they walked.

Over the eight years of the study, only four percent of people who enjoyed life the most – those in the top third of the total sample – developed problems physically handling day-to-day ac-tivities, Steptoe said. But that number shot up to 17 percent among those who showed the least enjoyment: the people in the bottom third.

Greater life satisfaction at the study’s start was also associated with slower de-cline in walking speed, the researchers added.

“These associations could be due to many things: the people with greater en-joyment of life could be more affluent, have less physical illness or disability to start with, or have healthier lifestyles at the outset, and these factors could pre-dict the changes in physical function over time,” Steptoe said. “But what we found is that baseline health, economic circumstances and lifestyle explain only about half the association between en-joyment of life and deterioration in func-tion. So there is more to it than that.”

Steptoe said that less stress (and, potentially, more happiness) could con-tribute to better health by protecting the body from the harmful effects of stress hormones.

The research “suggests that among other things, we should think about the positive aspects of life and experience of older people,” Steptoe said. “Not only are these important issues in them-selves, they might have benefits in terms of physical function. These could in turn help us contain the spiraling costs of so-cial and health care among older sectors

of society.”James Maddux, a professor emeritus

of psychology with the Center for the Advancement of Well-Being at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., said the findings are convincing and reflect other research.

“Healthy people are usually happier, and happy people are usually healthier,” he said.

However, he said, it’s important to be cautious about the conclusions. “All we can conclude is some kind of relation be-tween physical health and happiness and life satisfaction,” Maddux noted. “The findings do not tell us whether a great sense of well-being results in improved health or whether improved health re-sults in a greater sense of well-being.”

By Yvonne Miller“It’s like going through an audit on

steroids,” Value Added Products (VAP) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dirk Merle told investors at their annual meeting earlier in January.

He was referring to the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), which is a standard that provides a framework for food manufacturers to assist the production of safe food and to manage product quality to meet customers’ requirements. This certification is recognized by retailers, food service companies and manufacturers around the world.

VAP Operations Manager Tonja Lewis said GFSI was first formed in response to an outbreak of mad cow

These are just one of the delicious wheat dough products manufactured at VAP in Alva, known for their second-to-none pizza crusts. Check out their retail store. Photo by Yvonne Miller

disease in Europe. With GFSI, Lewis said, “Everyone

has the same criteria and trainers use the

same system – maybe we’ll all be on the same page.”

However, Lewis said, “If everyone played by the same rules it would be cost effective, but they don’t. We have to make our customer happy and also the GFSI.”

Nevertheless, Lewis said the VAP staff makes every effort possible to insure they are in compliance of GFSI.

“Everything has to be documented,” Lewis said. “We have to know where every spec of an ingredient goes (whether it’s in a pizza crust or croissant, or if it was waste swept off the floor). If it is not documented, written, we cannot prove that it happened.” Ingredients must be tracked,, which she said makes for a huge filing system. That’s part of meeting Hazardous Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP).

Lewis said VAP has to have a certified trainer working in each department of the plant to oversee accuracy. Pizza crusts are weighed and measured every 10 minutes, she said.

VAP currently runs the line nearly 16 hours a day for at least 10 hours of production with the remainder cleaning time. That’s five days a week.

“Due to lack of a work force, we can’t do much more than that,” Lewis said. As an incentive to get people to come to work VAP has an attendance bonus. Employees receive health insurance benefits and only have to pay $30 of their monthly premium.

Another huge factor of GFSI is restricting access to the plant for health

By Rebecca KinneyThe Alfalfa County commissioners has set the election date for the fairboard elec-

tion. The filing dates are Feb. 3 – 7 with the election scheduled for Feb. 11.Road crossing permits totaled $16,250 with District 1 getting the bulk of the ac-

tivity at $11,000, District 2 at $1,500 and District 3 at $3,750. The details are below:

The commissioners opened grader bids with Dave Walter and Steve Winters from Warren Cat attending, and with Dusty Bittle of Yellowhouse present. The commis-sioners decided to accept the John Deere bid because a greater trade-in amount was allowed. The Caterpillar trade-in offer was $790,000 and $663,500 respectively. The Yellowhouse (John Deere) offers were $875,000 and $795,000. The deal will reduce the monthly payment amount from $13,867 to $10,575. And with a 28 percent gov-ernment discount at $64,000 per machine, the commissioners said that had not spent a single dollar extra to end up with new equipment.

The commissioners accepted a bid for 4 miles of blacktop overlay four inches thick from Venture of Great Bend, Kan. Their representative, Ken Muhael, attended the meeting. The Venture bid was $1,223,476. A bid from Combs Construction of Enid was $1,297,852. The work will be done starting 1 mile east of Burlington and going 4 miles north.

They approved a private property easement from Aline 2 miles north on the east side of road to back fill and riprap a creek to protect County Road 560. They also ap-proved a private property easement a half-mile south of Helena to remove dirt from a waterway and place it on the farmer’s land.

By Marione MartinAn 18 year-old has been charged with felony drug traf-

ficking in Alfalfa County. Documents in the case state that a search warrant was served on Jan. 16 at a residence located two-tenths of a mile west of the intersection of SH 45 and County Road 540 in Alfalfa County. During the search, law

enforcement officers found more than 20 grams of meth-amphetamine, according to Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics Agent Brandon Powell.

A felony charge of trafficking in illegal drugs was filed against Waldo Ivan Gutierrez, 18, in Alfalfa County on Jan. 16.

By Lynn L. MartinThe Woods County commissioners

declared a state of emergency in Woods County with the fire danger very high. They voted Tuesday morning, Jan. 21, to implement a 30-day burn ban that will be reviewed weekly. In the event the gover-nor declares a burn ban, the restrictions in that ban will take precedence over the county-level ban.

Part of the ban reads, “It is unlawful for any person to set fire to any forest,

grass, range, crop or other wild lands, or to build a campfire or bonfire, or to burn trash or other material that may cause a forest, grass, range, crop or other wild lands fire. This ban includes fireworks for private or public use.”

The commissioners wanted to avoid putting people out of work in jobs that have some hazard of producing flame. For example, welding/cutting torch and grinding activities are permitted if con-ducted over a non-combustible surface of

at least 10 feet by 10 feet and when weld-ing blankets or screens are used to cover flammable vegetation, and wind speeds are less than 20 mph, and a fire watch per-son, other than the welder, is posted at the torch/cutting site with a fire extinguisher.

Outdoor cooking using LPG and nat-ural gas grills are permitted if positioned over a non-flammable surface. A fine of not more than $500 and imprisonment of not more than one year in jail may be im-posed if these rules are violated.

By Colton BudyThe Waynoka FFA and 4-H are hold-

ing their Annual Trophy Auction on Thursday, Jan. 23.

The auction is an annual event hosted by the FFA and 4-H chapters that raises

money for the groups’ Booster Club. The money raised during this event mainly supports the Waynoka Local Livestock Show along with other chapter-spon-sored events throughout the year.

The auction starts at 6:30 p.m. on

Jan. 23 in the Waynoka High School Multi-Purpose Building. There will be a free BBQ dinner, prepared by Larry and Linda Hutchinson, for all who attend, followed by a live and silent auction. The things being auctioned range from small items such as hats and gloves to large items like truckloads of rock.

4-H and FFA chapter projects, such as raising and showing livestock, teach important life skills, such as responsibil-ity and time and money management. The Waynoka Local Livestock Show is scheduled for Feb. 8 at 1 p.m.

and safety reasons. She said criteria has to be met for access. For example, photo IDs are required.

“In the food world there is no trust. We’re trusting out here in this part of the country. It makes it a real mess. We can’t just have people walking in and out,” Lewis said.

“We’ve got to teach our employees a new culture of thinking,” Lewis said.

She said the biggest expenditure

right now in meeting GFSI is redoing the concrete in the wash bay. She said any cracks could be a breeding ground for bacteria. They’ve laid new pipe and installed a new drain that can handle the needed water pressure.

Lewis said GFSI is based on two key components: senior management commitment and HACCP.

Once certification is obtained, a facility will be recognized globally in the food industry. But a GFSI certification does not exempt companies from auditing a facility so that another set of criteria can be verified.

It’s for all these reasons that the VAP staff works diligently to insure food safety in their delicious dough products.

The “voter ID” law, approved by 74 percent of Oklahoma voters on Nov. 2, 2010, went into effect on July 1, 2011. This new law requires all registered vot-ers to show proof of identity in order to vote at the polling place on election day or to vote early at the County Election Board office, Secretary Kelly Stein said today.

The law is very specific about the kind of document that can be used for proof of identity. Any item used for proof of identity for voting must have been issued by the federal government, the State of Oklahoma or a federally rec-ognized tribal government. In addition, the proof of identity must show the name of the person to whom it was issued, a photograph of the person and must in-clude an expiration date that is after the election date.

The law also states that the person’s

name on a document used for proof of identity for voting must “substantially conform” to the person’s name in the precinct registry.

Some documents that may be pre-sented as proof of identity for voting include an Oklahoma driver license, a state identification card, a passport or a military identification.

Voters also may use the voter identi-fication card they received by mail when they registered to vote. These cards are allowed even though they do not include a photograph or an expiration date. The voter identification card is provided to every voter free of charge when they register to vote. Replacement cards are also free of charge.

By law, state identification cards is-sued to persons who are 65 years old or older do not have expiration dates but

are valid proof of identity for voting.A voter who does not have proof of

identity that meets the requirements of the new law still may vote by provision-al ballot. A provisional ballot is sealed inside an envelope instead of being in-serted into the voting device. Informa-tion provided by the voter on an affida-vit is investigated by election officials in the days following the election, and the ballot is either approved for counting or is rejected based on the outcome of that investigation.

Stein said that voters can avoid proof of identity problems at the polling place by ensuring now that the name on their voter registration matches the name on their driver license or other proof of identity document or by always using the voter identification card issued by the County Election Board.

Proof of identity required by law



Registered voters in Alfalfa County who become physically incapacitated af-ter 5 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 4, won’t have to miss the Feb. 11 annual school election for Timberlake I-93, County Election Board Secretary Kelly Stein said today.

State law permits registered voters who will be unable to go to the polls because they became incapacitated af-ter 5 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 4, to vote on an

Voters with physical incapacitation can still vote

emergency basis. “Physical incapacita-tion” 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 596-2718 as soon as possible for more infor-mation,” Stein said.

The Nash Volunteer Firefighter’s As-sociation will hold its annual Ground Hog Supper on Saturday, Feb. 1, from 4:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. at the fire station

in Nash. The annual fundraising sup-per helps the fire department purchase equipment and helps with operating ex-penses.

Annual Ground Hog SupperArea residents, as well as visitors

from surrounding communities, are treated to generous portions of scram-bled eggs, whole hog sausage, biscuits and gravy. Again this year, the dinner will feature Blue & Gold sausage from the local FFA programs.

The annual fundraising supper plays a major role in helping the Nash Fire De-partment provide quality fire protection and rescue service.

The department currently has two pumper trucks, three brush trucks, a tanker and a heavy rescue vehicle that is equipped with a full compliment of rescue equipment. All of the fire depart-ment’s vehicles and equipment will be on display the night of the supper. The highlight of this past year was the expan-sion of the fire department building. This was done with funds from the one penny sales tax, matching government grants and donations from local residents.

Members of the department are quick to point out that the quality of their department is due largely to the fi-nancial and moral support they receive from the community.

By Sean MurphyOKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A

retired Army lieutenant colonel and an Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner both said Tuesday they plan to seek the Republican nomination for the open U.S. House seat being vacated by two-term Republican Rep. James Lankford.

Commissioner Patrice Douglas, 51, announced her candidacy during an event at Oklahoma Christian University, where she said she cast her first vote for former President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. A former attorney, banker, mayor and small businesswoman from Edmond, Douglas said she wanted to “take that business sense to Washington.”

Elected mayor of Edmond in 2009, Douglas was appointed in 2011 by Gov. Mary Fallin to fill a vacancy on the state’s three-member Corporation Commission,

which regulates Oklahoma’s utility companies, telecommunications, and the oil and gas industry, among others.

“I’m so excited to have the opportunity to go to Washington and bring that kind of experience with me,” Douglas said.

Retired Lt. Col. Steve Russell, 50, a former state senator, also confirmed he would seek the GOP nomination in the 5th Congressional District, which includes nearly all of Oklahoma County, along with Pottawatomie and Seminole counties to the east.

“I am definitely in,” Russell told The Associated Press. “Our nation’s in peril. And the way I see the outlook currently, if I thought I had any chance to use my skills and leadership to help this country ... it’s my duty and moral obligation to try.”

Russell represented south Oklahoma City in the state Senate from 2008 to 2012, after a more than 20-year Army career that culminated with the U.S. invasion of Iraq. He wrote the book, “We Got Him,” about his unit’s role in the hunt for and capture of Saddam Hussein, and has been promoting his book and doing speaking engagements across the country since he left the Senate.

The two announcements are the latest in a series of political dominoes that have fallen since U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn announced last week that he was stepping down with two years remaining on his term. Lankford announced on Monday that he was running to replace Coburn in the Senate.

Lankford could face a Republican primary challenge from Oklahoma House Speaker T.W. Shannon, who said

he was praying with his family about whether to run. Shannon’s political consultant, Trebor Worthen, told the AP on Tuesday that Shannon planned to establish an “exploratory committee” with the Federal Election Commission. U.S. Rep. Jim Bridenstine, a tea party favorite who knocked off a five-term congressman in 2012, also is considering a U.S. Senate bid. Jason Weger, a paramedic from Norman and political neophyte, said Tuesday he plans to run.

Several prominent Oklahoma Democrats have said they don’t plan to run for U.S. Senate, including former U.S. Rep. Dan Boren, former Lt. Gov. Jari Askins, and longtime Chickasaw Nation Gov. Bill Anoatubby.

Former Gov. Brad Henry and former Attorney General Drew Edmondson, both Democrats who are expected to consider the race, did not return telephone messages from the AP on Tuesday. Former Democratic state Sen. Kenneth Corn of Poteau said he was considering a run.

In Lankford’s 5th District seat, former Republican state Rep. Shane Jett announced Monday he planned to run. Other Republicans considering that U.S. House race are state Sens. Clark Jolley, Greg Treat and David Holt, and state Reps. Paul Wesselhoft and Mike Turner.

On the Democratic side in the 5th District race, retired University of Central Oklahoma professor Tom Guild, who ran unsuccessfully for the post in 2010 and 2012, already has announced his plans to run again, as has retired federal contractor Keith Davenport. Former Corporation Commissioner Jim Roth said he’s considering the race.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline is currently the third lowest in the nation.

AAA Oklahoma reports Tuesday that the statewide average is $3.06 per gallon, virtually the same as last week and lower than the average price in all but Missouri and Montana. Missouri’s average price is $2.99 per gallon while the average in Montana is $3.01.

The highest state averages are $4.02 per gallon in Hawaii and $3.66 in Connecticut.

In Oklahoma, prices in selected cities range from about $2.99 per gallon in both Grove and Lawton to $3.09 per gallon in both Guymon and McAlester. Drivers in Tulsa are paying $3.01 per gallon while those in Oklahoma City are averaging $3.04.

AAA said it expects the price for gas to trend lower during 2014.

Oklahoma gas price average is 3rd lowest in the US

Stacey Croft, a graduate student from Cherokee studying special education, was initiated into the Oklahoma State Uni-versity (OSU) chapter of the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi during the fall semester. Membership invitations are awarded to top juniors, seniors, graduates and professional students based on exemplary academic achievement and character.

“Because of the highly selective nature of the honor society, membership signifies a stamp of academic excellence that is recognized by all and offers a lifelong connection to a world-wide network of academic and professional opportunities,” said Dr. Tim Ireland, Phi Kappa Phi information officer and profes-sor of management information systems at OSU.
