Grand Lake is massive in terms of miles of shoreline and impact: It stretches serpentine-like through Ottawa, Delaware and Mayes counties.

Waterfront homes sell for $500,000 into the millions, making it a haven for well-to-do re-tirees. The lake itself is a playground for many of the state’s affluent.

But in the hills and valleys that surround it, there are shadows of darker stories — part of

a history of crime and corruption that lurk behind the hard-fought progress and placid lake life.

GRAND LAKE O’ THE CHEROKEES — Politicians headed to prison on corruption convictions usually slink out of town or get sent pack-ing by angry constituents. ¶ Back in 1982, Delaware County Com-missioner H.B. Richie got a party. ¶ Before he reported to federal

prison for taking kickbacks, locals threw him a hog fry gala in a show of grati-tude. His parting words: “I regret getting caught, but I don’t regret a hell of a lot of what I done.” ¶ “If you are going to do anything, don’t get caught.”

Rehab facility under scrutinyBY JARREL WADEWorld Staff Writer

Alive, but only just, Heather Landmeier blinks to communicate from a vegetative state.

She has almost no control of her body below her neck and will be fed through a tube for the rest of her life.

Landmeier, 27, overdosed on heroin and Oxycontin at a Tulsa hotel in March 2008. A day earlier, she was dismissed from Narconon

Arrowhead, a state-licensed non-medical drug detoxification facility in Pittsburg County, records show.

Landmeier’s family alleges in court documents that her dismissal was related to drugs and alcohol provided to her by Narconon staff.

“Heather believed Narconon would be the start on her road to re-covery,” said Landmeier’s younger sister, Hilary Landmeier. “Our fam-ily believed that as well. We put our trust in them. They truly made us believe that.”

Landmeier’s case is part of a con-troversy that surrounds Narconon, a southeast Oklahoma center that uses practices commonly associat-ed with Scientology and the teach-ings of L. Ron Hubbard.

Since October, there have been three confirmed deaths related to the facility. Since 2005, there have been four other deaths — three of which were on the premises, ac-cording to state records.

The most recent death was Stacy Murphy, a 20-year-old from Owas-

so, on July 19. In the days after she died, at least two state agencies and Pittsburg County authorities have been investigating the facility.

The center faces claims of violat-ing state mental health facility stat-utes and consumer protection law, authorities said.

Narconon Arrowhead Director Gary Smith declined a phone inter-view. In a brief email, Smith, citing federal health laws, said he couldn’t

• Union administrators drive district-owned Acuras; other arrangements include school cars, pool cars and allowances.BY ANDREA EGER AND KIM ARCHERWorld Staff Writers

A review of auto allowances and use of district-owned vehicles for Tulsa-area school administra-tors shows that they can be expensive, taxpayer-funded perks in some cases.

A Tulsa World examination of public records requested under the Oklahoma Open Records Act found only two superintendents with no vehicle or travel allowance, while on the other end of the spec-trum, four Union Public Schools administrators get full use of district-owned Acura vehicles as part of their benefits package.

The newspaper surveyed Tulsa County school districts because most superintendents did not report auto allowances as part of their compensa-tion packages to the Oklahoma State Department of Education. Even so, the average total compensation reported to the state among Tulsa County school district superintendents for 2011-12 was $155,066.

Tax-free weekend to begin FridayBY SARA PLUMMERWorld Staff Writer

Before sending their children back to school, many families observe another tradition beginning Friday — back-to-school shopping.

For the last five years, many have taken advan-tage of Oklahoma’s tax-free holiday weekend to get clothes and shoes for their kids, and themselves, without paying sales tax.

Oklahoma started the three-day sales-tax holiday in 2007. This year, shoppers can buy tax free from Friday through Aug. 5, but there are limitations to what is exempt.

Clothes, shoes, socks, underwear, coats, uni-forms, even costumes and formal wear are all ex-empt from Tulsa’s 8.5 percent sales tax. Jewelry, handbags, wallets and luggage are not.

According to the Oklahoma Tax Commission, shoppers saved $6.9 million in 2011 during the tax-

Women and men “go missing,” several deaths that might have been homicides are ruled suicides — and sometimes those charged with up-holding the law have been on the wrong side of it, landing in jail, on trial or resigning.

Some locals grumble about the recent half-cent sales tax increase to pay for Delaware County’s $13.5 million settlement in a federal civil rights suit, for sexual assault and mistreatment of female inmates at the county jail.

Fifteen women allege they were groped, sexually assaulted and raped while in custody in 2008. They said they told jail managers and then-Sheriff Jay Blackfox about what was happening, but nothing was done. Blackfox resigned in 2011 and denied any wrongdoing.

Rick Littlefield, a former deputy and state representative, took over as interim sheriff in the wake of the scandal. He focused on cleaning house: Video cameras were installed to monitor jail conditions, policies changed and deputies swept the jail for contraband.

“We made lots of changes,” he said. “We would frequently hear: ‘Well, that’s the way we’ve always done it.’ Well, the way we’ve always done it cost us $13.5 million.”

He said he never hesitated when county commissioners asked him to step in. But he’ll likely let the winner of the Aug. 28 Democratic runoff between Harlan Moore and Mike Wilkerson take office as sher-iff as early as he’s ready, he said.

“I hope to leave it a little better than when we came in,” he said.

He knew the challenges of up-holding the law from his days as a young deputy. Also, his dad was sheriff in the 1970s. Each era brings a new scourge. Once, it was bootleg-ging; now it’s meth.

“The lake brings a different group of people,” he said.

The Rainbow Chasers

The dam was a dream when this place was still Indian Territory, be-fore statehood.

The Neosho and Spring rivers flowed from the north and merged into the Grand River, but the poten-tial local visionary Henry Holder-man saw was electric.

Dam the rivers and bring hydro-electric power to the Cherokee Na-tion and residents of northeastern Oklahoma’s lush, rolling hills.

A group of men known as “The Rainbow Chasers” lobbied to make Holderman’s dream happen, going so far as to stop President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s train as it passed through nearby Vinita to garner support. A giant sign shouted their enthusiasm: “Let’s build the Grand River Dam!”

They won: The Works Progress Administration granted funding in 1937, and workers earning about $1 per hour and living in tents poured concrete 24 hours a day until the Pensacola Dam’s 51 massive arches were complete.

The towns of Disney and Langley on either side of the dam boomed “from the dam activity of the day and from big spenders in their dance halls and taverns that sprung up overnight,” according to “Heritage of the Hills,” a local history book.

By summer 1940, Grand Lake was full. But progress didn’t come without obstacles or controversy. Entire towns were lost in the lake, cemeteries and burial sites were re-located. Thirteen men died building

the dam. Shortly before it was completed,

Gov. Red Phillips sent the state mi-litia to halt progress on the dam be-cause of a dispute over road fund-ing. It took a restraining order to stop the governor’s interference.

Phillips claimed that engineers “went down like a thief in the night and closed the gates.”

Kin folk and captains

Some 250 well-wishers showed up for H.B. Richie’s prison send-off hog fry back in 1982, according to news reports.

Those who attended argued Richie — who died in 1997 — was a well-intentioned “victim of circum-stances” who kept the roads graded.

Kelly Hampton has lived in Dela-ware County most of his life, and he and Richie taught school together.

“He was from a good family,” Hampton said. “He’s kin to half the county.”

Hampton’s parents settled in Zena around the time of statehood. He worked for years as a teacher, principal and school superinten-dent throughout the county and his wife teaches Cherokee language and culture in Grove.

“We know what everybody’s do-ing out here — but we read the Tulsa World to see who got caught,” Hampton said.

Families here go way back, he said.

“People coming in from Kansas

and other places, they don’t know what to think of us. We’re kind of a breed of our own,” he said. “All of Delaware County is kind of a unique place. You could probably write a book or movie on it.”

Darrell Mastin works as a finan-cial adviser in Grove and is a former high school football coach. He’s lived there since the mid-1990s but started coming to visit when his in-laws moved there in the 1980s, be-fore the town had a single stoplight.

The lake attracts development and diversity, he said. “You’ve got people here who’ve never left the county versus people who are captains of industry,” he said. “And they walk in the door and you can’t tell who’s who because it’s the lake — everybody wears shorts and flip-flops.”

Murder and mayhem

Eddie Wyant is the district attor-ney for District 13, covering Dela-ware and Ottawa counties, where the bulk of Grand Lake resides.

“Every district’s got its cases,” he said.

Of the two counties in District 13, Ottawa has the higher crime rate, according to 2010 OSBI statistics. Ottawa had a crime index rate of ap-proximately 25.8 crimes per 1,000 residents versus Delaware’s rate of 18.5.

By comparison, Tulsa County has nearly twice the crime rate of either, with 49.5 crimes per 1,000 residents in 2010.

Wyant’s district is bordered by Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas, which often adds challenges to solv-ing and prosecuting crimes, he said.

A high-profile, tri-state crime was Wyant’s first major at-bat as a young prosecutor.

Shannon and Joseph Agofsky were arrested and charged with kidnapping banker Dan Short from his Arkansas home in the middle of the night Oct. 5, 1989, driving him to the State Bank of Noel in Missouri and forcing him to open the vault so they could steal $70,000.

Short’s hands and feet were bound with duct tape, he was taped to an antique chair weighted with chains and concrete blocks and he was tossed from the Cowskin Bridge into Grand Lake’s Elk Cove. He drowned, and his body was found five days later.

From Elk Cove in Oklahoma, the lake narrows eastward into Mis-souri’s Elk River, flowing past Noel, a tiny town where Short was loved. He emceed the Christmas parade and provided radio commentary and newspaper columns on local sporting events.

Wyant was a senior in college when Short was kidnapped and drowned. By the time Wyant gradu-ated from law school and became a prosecutor in the 13th District in 1997, he was arguing the state’s case against the Agofsky brothers.

It took more than two years for authorities to arrest anyone. The murder trial stretched on for the better part of the decade as the Agofsky brothers changed attor-neys, argued for venue changes and challenged the validity of judges and evidence.

Both men received life sentences in federal prison for the bank rob-bery, but only Shannon Agofsky was convicted of Short’s murder. Joseph Agofsky’s murder portion of the tri-al ended in mistrial.

In 2004, Shannon Agofsky was convicted of killing a fellow prison inmate and is now on death row at the U.S. Penitentiary in Terre

Haute, Ind.

A bitter feud

Before the jail civil rights lawsuit, before million-dollar mansions dot-ted the lakeshore, before Grove got its first stoplight and before Dela-ware County constituents wished commissioner Richie farewell for prison, there was a battle for the courthouse itself.

Grove, being the largest, most established city, assumed it would remain the county seat. Citizens further south felt that was too far to travel for county business and hired surveyors to find the county’s geo-graphical center.

In 1908, they circulated petitions, got an election and — to the surprise of everyone in Grove — team Jay won. And Grove then appealed to the Supreme Court to stop it.

“It was really a bitter feud,” said Jackie Coatney, curator of the Delaware County Historical Soci-ety. “Grove felt that they had been cheated. They really didn’t think it was a serious election so few turned out to vote.”

It got ugly. Jay continued with courthouse construction as the le-gal battle raged.

Meanwhile, a Joplin, Mo., man named William Creekmore decided to build his own courthouse north of Jay and furtively moved all the court records from Grove into his courthouse in the middle of a Janu-ary night in 1912.

The governor got involved and sent the militia to move the court records to the Jay courthouse. But the dispute continued, with the re-cords being sent back to Grove un-til the courthouse dispute could be resolved. Again, the governor sent the militia. This time, the Delaware County sheriff assembled his own ragtag band of troops to counter the state’s forces. They dug 4-foot trenches and erected barricades around both courthouses.

No men were killed, and the Jay courthouse emerged victorious and housed the records — until a mys-terious fire burned it down in 1913. They rebuilt it, and it burned down again in 1941.

It was a man named Claude “Jay” Washbourne Jr. who donated the land that became the town and the victor of the courthouse battles, hence the name — except even that is a matter of local dispute.

Coatney said whenever she writes a story about how the town got its name, she has to include multiple versions to avoid re-igniting old family feuds. “You just don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings in the tell-ing of a story,” she said.

Traffic moves along the Elk River Cowskin Bridge in Delaware County. In 1989, Missouri bank president Dan Short was kidnapped, taken to a bank vault so his abductors could rob it, then bound and taped into an antique chair weighted with chains and concrete blocks and tossed off this bridge into Grand Lake’s Elk Cove. Brothers Shannon and Joseph Agofsky were convicted of the robbery but only Shannon Agofsky was convicted of murder.  JOHN CLANTON/Tulsa World

Mysterious deaths in Delaware County District 13: Land of law enforcement scandals In 1972, Delaware County Sheriff Loyd Rosell appeared

before a federal grand jury and denied that he was the target of a bribe attempt by the operators of the Mr. Yuk Club in Grove.

Later on in that case, Ottawa County District Attorney Frank Grayson was convicted of conspiring with Kansas City mob ties to establish gambling and prostitution within his jurisdiction of Grand Lake.

In 1980, Sheriff Rosell was accused of profiting from lease-purchase deals on county patrol cars, using the county’s phones to conduct personal business and using his position of authority to force a prisoner to sell him land. He was ac-quitted, but a grand jury urged that he be forced out of office. He chose not to seek re-election.

In 1989, Ottawa County Sheriff Therl Whittle was charged with embezzlement and misconduct in office. In 1993, nearly a year after he left office, he was charged with lying to a grand jury about evidence in a 1987 murder case. He was acquitted in both cases.

Whittle had replaced the previous sheriff, Bob Sills, who resigned while under a grand jury investigation for allegedly mistreating prisoners and other misconduct.

In 1988, former District Attorney David Thompson resigned and later pleaded guilty to charges of marijuana possession.

In 1997, former Ottawa County Sheriff James Ed Walker pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting an illegal gambling business. He was first charged in 1996 on a 12-count indict-ment, but a lengthy trial resulted in acquittal on several counts and a mistrial declared on several others. When a federal judge sentenced him to 24 months in prison, Walker said: “I’m sorry that I pleaded guilty.”

In 2004, Delaware County Sheriff Lenden Woodruff apologized and resigned when he was convicted of DUI while driving his personal vehicle, for which the county paid him a monthly stipend.

GRAND SHADOWSPhillip Porter

Porter was found dead Jan. 12 in his small motor home northwest of Sailboat Bridge

on Grand Lake. His throat was s l a s h e d 1-inch deep, 4 inches a c r o s s , s e v e r i n g his jugular vein. His death was i n i t i a l l y ruled a sui-

cide, until family members and the Tulsa World began to ask questions about the lack of evidence.

No suicide note was left in the camper smeared with blood, no weapon was found near his body and his family said the 56-year-old had no history of depression.

The OSBI launched a ho-micide investigation into his death shortly after. No one has been arrested or charged in connection with Porter’s death.

Edie King

King’s body was found hanged Oct. 17, 2008. When she died, King possessed a letter detailing sexual abuse of prisoners in the Delaware County jail — before the law-suit was filed or any of the

allegations had be-come pub-lic record.

D a y s after she missed a m e e t i n g to discuss the letter with an a t t o r n e y

working on the inmate’s law-suit, her body was found in a horse tack barn a few hun-dred feet from her trailer

home. Her death was ruled a sui-

cide. Her relatives have said they don’t believe she was suicidal.

Joann Ellis

Ellis went missing in 1998, but her body wasn’t found until 2003, when her skeletal remains were found in a sub-merged car near Pensacola Dam on Grand Lake.

Ellis, a 48-year-old mother of four, was last seen as she

pulled out of her parents’ driveway in 1998.

Investigators found cloth-ing, jewelry and identifica-tion belonging to Ellis in the car. The car’s front windows were down when it went into the water and the speedom-eter was stuck on 45 mph.

The death was ruled a sui-cide, but family members said they did not believe Ellis was suicidal. Ellis’ sister said she suspected foul play because Joann allegedly owed money to drug dealers.

Union Associate Superin-tendent Kirt Hartzler and Chief Financial Officer Debra Jacoby received new 2012 Acura MDX model SUVs in January, at a cost each of just over $52,000 and nearly $30,000 respectively, records show. Superintendent Cathy Burden drives a 2010 Acura RL sedan purchased by the district for $45,000, while Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning Kathy Dodd drives a 2007 Acura MDX bought for just over $33,000, according to district records.

Ed Payton, immediate past president of the Union school board, explained that the board voted to purchase Acu-ras rather than less expensive vehicles as a way to attract and retain the best leaders.

“We believe our approach is working. Union school admin-istrators, teachers and sup-port staff are highly respected and recruited throughout the region,” Payton said.

These benefits are provid-ed to the top tier of district administrators on the condi-tion that they will be “on the clock around the clock,” ac-cording to Burden’s employ-ment contract.

Union is one of the 10 larg-est school districts in the state.

“Regular business hours for a Union administrator start very early in the morning and often go until late at night, and on weekends,” Payton said.

In addition, nine other Union employees have the use of a fleet vehicle, includ-ing the district’s child nu-trition director and athletic director who drive a 2006 $22,000 Chevrolet Trailblaz-

er and a 2011 $32,500 Chev-rolet Tahoe, respectively, re-cords show.

Payton said that simply paying mileage for admin-istrators to drive their own cars wouldn’t be as cost effec-tive because of the amount of travel required for each ad-ministrator. The current rate of mileage reimbursement allowed by the Internal Rev-enue Service is 55½ cents per mile, meaning a trip to the state capital would cost the district nearly $170 in reim-bursement.

“So the question from the Union Board of Education’s perspective is, have we put in place the proper working environment and is the over-all compensation package at-tractive enough to recruit and retain the highest quality ad-ministrators in a cost efficient manner,” Payton said. “By purchasing a vehicle, rather than providing sufficient funds to the administrator to do so, the board achieves its goal in the most cost-efficient way possible.”

Skiatook Superintendent Rick Thomas is at the op-posite end of the spectrum.

His contract includes no car allowance and he uses his personal vehicle and does not submit any mileage claims.

Just like a teacher or coach, he can check out a school-owned vehicle for out-of-town school business, such as attending a meeting or train-ing session.

Skiatook pays out more than $16,000 in allowances to principals and a few dis-trict administrators for travel within 50 miles of the school district. The allowances range from $1,000-$3,500, with the high school principal receiv-ing the highest amount.

“My preference was to have the amount as part of my salary. That was the same contract I had at Oologah and chose to continue with not having a car allowance. The other administrators had that as part of their contracts be-fore I came to Skiatook, so I am not sure how that came about,” Thomas said.

He said those eight em-ployees receive their allow-ances on an annual basis, and they are “figured in with their base salary so they are subject to withholdings (state, fed-

eral and teacher retirement) and reported as salary on W-2 forms.”

No administrators in Bixby Public Schools get a district-owned or leased vehicle, nor do they get car allowances, Su-perintendent Kyle Wood said.

Broken Arrow Superin-tendent Jarod Mendenhall drives a district-owned 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, which was purchased for nearly $42,000. Similarly, Jenks Superinten-dent Kirby Lehman is the lone administrator in the dis-trict provided a vehicle. He drives a 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe purchased for $19,511 with a trade-in of his previous dis-trict vehicle, a 2007 Tahoe.

The three administrators in Owasso who are on call at all times drive district-owned ve-hicles. Superintendent Clark Ogilvie drives a 2011 Chev-rolet Equinox, which cost $22,800, while two others — the operations and transpor-tation directors — drive 2010 Ford and 2011 Chevy pick-ups, which cost an estimated $25,000 to $30,000 each.
