WOODWARD — The city isexperiencing phenomenal growththanks to the area’s resurgence in theenergy sector and a commitment bythe city’s leadership.

Assistant City Manager DougHaines said the city has seen rapidgrowth in the past few years andexpects to see even more.

“Our growth is really expandingon a pretty rapid rate,” he said.“We’ve had a very large influx ofactivity from the oil and gas sector,along with the wind sector.”

On Feb. 16, officials held a dedi-cation for the opening of theSiemans Energy facility at the city’sAirport Industrial Park.

Gov. Mary Fallin was amongseveral state dignitaries who attend-ed the event, as well as StateSecretary of Commerce DaveLopez, State Secretary of EnergyMike Ming and CorporationCommissioner Dana Murphy.

Haines said Siemans is the “kingof wind energy” and has establisheda distribution center in Woodward toservice all of North America.

“We will be providing all theparts and the tools and repairs neces-

sary for the generators that sit atopall these wind turbines,” he said. “It’sturned out to be a very good asset forus.”

Haines said the facility will pro-vide about 50 jobs to the area, butfurther growth is expected over thenext 24 months. He said the place-ment of the facility in Woodwardalso will help companies that pro-vide services to Siemans.

“It’s really just a shot in the armfor us. It brings some very high qual-ity jobs to this area,” he said. “We’rereally excited to have them here.”

Conference Center completionThe city also is preparing for

another grand opening: This time forits state-of-the-art ConferenceCenter.

Congressman Frank Lucas willbe present for the 11 a.m. grandopening ceremony Monday of the30,000-square-foot facility.

The city has spent the past twoweeks putting the final touches onthe center in preparation for theevent. Landscaping and constructionof parking lots were the last fewitems, completed, Haines said.

The center will host Woodward’sConvention and Visitor’s Bureauand features a large exhibit hall, con-course area and break-out meetingareas.

What’s developingIt’s not just the city’s economy

that’s growing.Haines said there are plans for a

six-screen movie theater on the city’swest side.

“That should be breaking groundin March,” he said. “We are getting abrand new facility from the groundup.”

The project is being built byMitchell Group of Kansas City and

will be on 34th Street.“We’re real excited about that.

They’re bringing a top-quality enter-tainment venue here that replacesour existing, outdated theaters,”Haines said. “We’re just thrilled todeath to have them come here.”

An Oklahoma City developeralso is constructing two housingadditions, something Haines said thecity needs “desperately,” with theinflux of growth the city is experi-encing.

He said the work will be locatedin the south central area of the city,where more development is expect-ed. The land was developed forhousing years ago but no construc-tion was done.

“We expect more development totake place on the southern side ofWoodward, where we already havethe infrastructure,” he said. “Theinfrastructure is there. We’re startingto get some interest from the devel-opment side.”

POND CREEK — Resi-dents of these towns and sur-rounding areas are gearing upfor a new wind farm sched-uled to be built this spring,and looking forward to theeconomic benefits expectedto come with its construction.

TradeWind Energy LLCof Lenexa, Kan., has planneda 300-megawatt wind farmbetween Hunter and PondCreek. Dubbed ChisholmView Wind Project, the farmis expected to cover approxi-mately 45,000 acres, include125 to 200 turbines and affectmore than 150 landowners.

According to TradeWindfigures, the completed windfarm will provide enoughpower for 90,000 Oklahomahomes and pay out more than$3 million in annual pay-ments to affected landowners.

Benefits to Pond CreekPond Creek mayor Steve

Stinson said local residentsare looking forward to thewind farm, and the revenueit’s expected to generate.

“We can’t predict what itwill be as far as impact ... butI can’t see how it wouldn’taffect us positively in someway,” he said.

Much of that impact willcome during the constructionphase, when 150 to 200 work-ers are expected to be based inthe area, Stinson said.

“Potentially, that will havea big effect as far as the busi-nesses here in town,” he said.

He said the increased traf-fic will help the three restau-rants and one conveniencestore in Pond Creek. A secondconvenience store is expectedto open later this spring.

With only one motel avail-able in Pond Creek, windfarm workers likely will com-mute for lodging.

“As far as accommoda-tions go, it’s not looking realgood for them here,” Stinsonsaid. “The oil field has beengoing here for a while, andthey’re taking up a lot of themotel space.”

He expects the wind farmworkers to add to alreadybooming business for localstore and restaurant owners.

“The stores have alreadybenefitted from the oil field,”he said. “This time of year isusually really slow, but it’sstayed steady. And, when thewind farm starts going inthings will pick up. I don’tthink it can do anything butpick up.”

Benefits to HunterAt the other end of the

wind farm’s projected devel-opment path, residents inHunter also are expectingbusiness to pick up whenworkers arrive this spring.

“It can’t do anything buthelp us, and it’s going to helpthe landowners out in therural areas really well,” saidHunter Mayor HowardKitchen.

Kitchen said there are noconvenience stores or restau-rants in Hunter, but a conven-ience store is expected toopen this spring, in part tomeet needs of incoming windfarm and oil field workers.

“We don’t have anythingfor sales tax in Hunter rightnow, so when that gets goingit will help out the town a lotwith sales tax,” Kitchen said.“People working out therewill have to eat and keep onthe go, and I assume that traf-fic will help us here in town.”

Kitchen expects increasedtraffic to continue after con-struction is complete.

“I think it will be kind of atourist attraction for a while,”he said. “Most of the placesaround here you’re used tojust seeing wheat fields and atank battery here and there,and now you’re talking aboutseeing 140 wind turbines ...it’s going to change thescenery, and I’m sure you’llhave people driving throughjust to see what’s going on.”

Down the roadPerhaps the biggest long-

term benefits will be seen inPond Creek-Hunter schools,because of ad valorem tax.

Pond Creek-Hunter super-intendent Joel Quinn said itmay take years for benefits tofilter down to the school dis-trict since TradeWind Energyhas applied for a five-yearexemption on assessed ad val-orem taxes. The exemption isoffered by the state as entice-ment to wind energy industry.

“Further down the road,it’s going to be a positive forus because of the increase inthe tax base and in our ad val-orem tax-based income,”Quinn said.

He said revenue from theturbines’ assessed value willgive schools “financial stabil-ity for years to come,” andcould make the district self-sufficient on local income.

“If the numbers turn out tobe as good as they look likethey may be, Pond Creek-Hunter may be able to go offof state aid in the future andbe able to rely on local financ-ing,” Quinn said. “When youhave locally-based fundinglike that it’s a lot more stableand not as susceptible to cutsin state funding.”

Asking for a little respectWhile schools and busi-

ness owners in the path of thefarm are looking to increasedrevenue, some in surroundingareas worry they’ll see in-creased traffic from the windfarm construction but reap lit-tle or none of its benefits.

“I think the only thingwe’re going to see here inKremlin is the increased traf-fic through town,” said

Kremlin mayor Larry Keller.He said the town already isseeing increased truck trafficrelated to the oil and naturalgas industry, and he expectseven more traffic when windfarm construction begins.

Keller said Kremlin does-n’t have stores to garner salestax revenue from increasedtraffic; the closest store isMidway Station, two mileswest of Kremlin on U.S. 81.

“I think they will benefit

from it, but the only thing inKremlin that would be affect-ed is if they wanted to set uptrailers or something like that,but we haven’t beenapproached on that,” Kellersaid. “I think our biggestproblem is going to be gettingthe trucks to slow down whenthey come through town.There are a lot of kids and ani-mals out here, and peopleneed to respect these littletowns, but they seldom do.”

RINGWOOD — Ringwood PublicSchools elementary students have settled intotheir second year in the district’s new building,and, with room to spare, officials have shiftedfocus to new changes headed their way.

A 2010 State Department of Educationmandates public schools transition to theCommon Core State Standards curriculum,which has been adopted by 44 states.

“We are looking toward next year being atransition year,”said Tom Deigh-an, Ringwoodsuperintendent.

Each school isexpected to havetransitioned to thecurriculum by the2014-15 schoolyear.

R i n g w o o dalso will work onTeacher andLeader Effec-tiveness evalua-tion system thatmust be imple-mented by the2013-14 schoolyear.

Deighan saidthis system willbe a new motivator for district educators.

“The teachers’ jobs will be tied to testgrades from now on,” he said. “I’m confidentour teachers will be fine under the new sys-tem.”

The TLE system also offers pay incentiveto teachers who show they are increasinglearning achievement in the classroom.

A series of community meetings to educateparents and community members about thechanges will be 5 and 6:30 p.m. March 27 andMarch 29 in the school’s cafeteria.

Along with these mandated changes comeincreased opportunities for students, Deighansaid.

“One thing we’re looking a is a college andcareer track,” he said.

Ringwood is working closely withNorthern Oklahoma College, RedlandsCommunity College and NorthwestTechnology Center to allow students to beginhigher education while still in high school.

“Students can graduate high school with acareer tech certificate and an associate degree,”said Deighan. “We are meeting with parents tolet them know these things are possible.”

In addition to meeting mandates, the districtalso is working on other ways to improvelearning for Ringwood students.

“We did get a $660,000 after-school (pro-gram) grant,” said Deighan. “We just startedthat in November. It’s $660,000 over fiveyears.”

The grant allows tutoring and enrichmentactivities before and after school.

“We have nine community partners,”Deighan said.

With the construction of the “much-need-ed” elementary school behind them, schoolofficials hope to have another bond issue in afew years to update the remainder of the schoolfacility.

“The elementary school will be paid off ina year and a half,” said Deighan. “The peopleof the community have really helped (with theelementary school construction).”

The decisions to be made about the remain-ing school facilities include deciding if the old-est buildings can be renovated or if they needreplaced. Contractors will assess the durabilityof the existing buildings before any decisionswill be made, Deighan said, and it will be sev-eral years before any renovations or new con-struction take place, said Deighan.

WAUKOMIS — Situated along itsnamesake, the famous Chisholm Trail,Chisholm Trail Estates offers a uniquehousing development for the area.

In its third year of development, the38-lot project south of Waukomis onU.S. 81 features three homes. Thedevelopment is separated into two phas-es, with phase one offering 18 lots. ACDevelopment L.L.C. is in charge of theproject.

AC co-owner and Waukomis nativeGene Anderson said his company devel-ops, finances and custom-builds homesfor the project.

“We can do it all if you are interestedin developing,” Anderson said. “Theirare hardly any developers who willmake loans to people. It makes it mucheasier to buy a lot.”

Phase one currently is under waywith lots ranging in size from a half acreto one acre and starting at $22,500. Apond is situated on the property, with sixof the phase one lots being developedaround it.

The homes AC Development typi-

cally build on the lots range from 1,800to 2,200 square feet and feature threebedrooms and two bathrooms.Anderson said the homes are all energyefficient and have garages situated onthe side, so they are not as visible. Eachyard features an underground sprinklersystem.

The three homes already built arebelong to members of the Air Forceassigned to Vance Air Force Base.

“Right now we are catering to the AirForce. They are all good families,”Anderson said.

Anderson said he listed the newesthome on the property on Vance’s inter-national website, and he was contactedin 15 minutes by the current owners.

He said he has a loose plan to havephase one completed within five years.

“Our primary objective is to fill thelots and sell homes,” Anderson said.“But we are part of an organized effortin Waukomis to clean up the town.”

He said Waukomis is a great place toraise a family.

“It’s close to Enid, has a good schoolsystem and good people,” Andersonsaid. “We are trying to put it on themap.”

ALVA — Although this northwestOklahoma city is reaping benefits ofrenewed interest in oil and natural gas explo-ration, city leaders are looking toward thefuture when the boom busts.

“Although our revenue is up, in somecases as much as 20 percent, that could soonbe eaten by repaircosts as our aginginfrastructure is ofconstant concern,”said Alva MayorArden Chaffee.

He said cityand county offi-cials are workingto form a metroarea planningcommission.

“We’re work-ing with the coun-ty commissioners,establishing moreor less a three-milelimit around Alva— the exact shape is yet to be determined —in which the county commissioners willconcede some of their authority so the citycan impose various zoning and codeenforcement issues to protect the immediatearea when the surge ends,” Chaffee said.“Out in the county we have no zoning lawsand have no intentions of imposing any inthe agricultural areas.”

He said some of controls the MAPC mayimplement include zoning, subdivision reg-ulations, easements, transfer of developmentrights, building codes, capital improvementplans, comprehensive plans and compatibil-ity issues. Chaffee said which controls thecity will use will be discussed at city councilmeetings.

“We’re concerned about our infrastruc-ture needs,” he said. “We want to provideservices for the oil industry and be user-

friendly, but at the same time we want tothink about what it will look like 10 yearsfrom now. We don’t want to put all of oureggs in the oil field basket.”

Providing services in a sensible wayCity Manager Steve Brown said the

demand for support services to gas and oilexploration have increased greatly.

“We’re seeing pretty much a variety of

things coming in that’s related to gas andoil,” he said. “We’re also seeing an increasein our local business, including groceriesand merchandise and vehicle repairs.”

Brown said two new motels are underconstruction on the city’s east side. All otherusable space in the city has been filled.

“We don’t have any hotel space. If youcall a hotel you have to work in when youcan stay rather than when you want to stay,”Brown said.

The city manager said the city’s leader-ship realizes the influx into the economywon’t last forever.

“It’s something we can benefit from;however, we need to manage it correctly,” hesaid. “Not only do we need to manage theopportunities we have but any type of con-tinued growth, we have to manage that aswell.”

CHEROKEE — Teachers at CherokeeElementary School are updating methods andlearning to approach students in new ways.

Cory Ellis, superintendent of CherokeePublic Schools since February 2011, said anupdated approach was needed because theschool made the state’s list of “schools in needof improvement” this year.

Ellis, who grew up in Cherokee, said whenhe returned to the school as superintendent, hesaw classrooms still set up with “rows of desksall facing the blackboard,” a style used for gen-erations of students who spent their time listen-ing to the teacher lecture.

“Adults only have about 20 minutes ofattention span,” Ellis said. “Why do we expectkids to have a 40-minute attention span?”

More modern teaching methods yield betterresults, Ellis said.

“Now what we’re looking at is a type of les-son where there is student engagement,” Ellissaid.

Engaging the student makes all the differ-ence, he said, in helping the teacher reach indi-vidual students.

“The goal is to have it so the student canrecall that lesson three weeks down the road,instead of just long enough to get through thetest,” Ellis said.

He said he anticipated the school was head-ed for the “needs improvement” list.

“The state report cards pretty much predict-ed that Cherokee was not going to be in a goodplace,” Ellis said.

He calls the approach elementary schoolteachers are taking now “a compilation of bestpractices together.”

“What we’re trying to do is come up with aframework that is schoolwide, that everybodyis modeling the same kind of teaching,” Ellissaid.

There are 170 students in the elementaryschool at Cherokee, which educates studentsup to eighth grade.

“Really the whole purpose of this is qualityof instruction, not quantity of instruction,”Ellis said.

Cherokee school district turning negative into positiveE

In the coming weeks, somethingbesides airplanes will begin climb-ing into the sky above Vance AirForce Base.

Ground soon will be broken onVance’s new control tower, replacingthe present tower completed in 1972.Maj. Eric Fladie of U.S. Army Corpsof Engineers, the entity overseeingthe design and construction phase ofthe project, said he expects construc-tion in April. Preliminary work torelocate existing communicationslines is under way.

When completed, the new towerwill be the base’s third since Vancewas constructed in 1941, said DonitaHazlett, acting base civil engineer.

The tower project originally wasallotted $10.7 million through aninsert by Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla.,in the Military Construction andVeterans Affairs Appropriations Actpassed by Congress in 2009. Thenew tower is only expected to costsome $9.9 million, however.

“The bids essentially came in alittle bit lower than we had pro-grammed,” Fladie said.

Getting startedGroundbreaking for the tower,

originally scheduled for October, hasbeen delayed by a design change in-volving elevator and stairwell sizes.The areas must be large enough toaccommodate emergency personnel.

“A lot of the issue with the eleva-tor and also with the stairway was tobe able to facilitate emergency res-cue if we had somebody with a med-ical condition or some other kind ofissue up in the control tower cab oron one of the other floors,” Hazlettsaid.

Code requires the elevator orstairwell to be large enough toaccommodate a standard gurney,emergency personnel and rescueequipment, she added.

“In the initial design, the designhad not met all those requirements,”Hazlett said.

The tower is scheduled for com-pletion next February, then the oldtower will be removed by May2013, affording a 60-day window formoving equip-ment and per-sonnel from theold to the new.

“Currentlywe are on trackfor the newe s t a b l i s h e dc o m p l e t i o ndates,” Fladiesaid. “We donot see anyholdups at thispoint. That newredesign pro-cess is goingvery well.”

The cabfloor of Vance’spresent tower is63 feet high,which willreach only tothe seventhfloor of the newtower, the cabfloor of whichwill be 96 feet above ground level.

The new tower not only will betaller but larger — 6,665 square feetto the current tower’s 2,294. Thepresent tower cab is 56 percentsmaller than Air Force standard, toosmall to house updated equipmentand multiple controllers and trainees.The old tower also has no elevator.

In addition, the new tower willmeet all safety and fire codes.

“The government has code that isabove and beyond our commercialor civilian sector code,” Fladie said.

Much of the work, Fladie said,will be done by local or regionalcontractors.

The future looks promisingThe new tower will have the lat-

est in air traffic control equipment,some of which is used now.

“We actually have a lot of thatequipment now, and it’s literallyjammed in to the old control tower,”

said Hazlett. “A lot oftheir display screens are

not the proper size. They had todownsize. When we get the newtower they will actually have theproper size display screens, whichwill make their job even easier.”

The new tower will provide con-trollers better visibility than theyhave now, she added, since they noware hampered by blind spots createdby the tower’s height and aircraftshelters constructed in recent years.

“With the current tower heightthere’s some blind spots that theycan’t see everything,” Hazlett said,“with the new tower they will beable to see everything.”

A place to call homeAnother upcoming project is ren-

ovation of the base’s enlisted dormi-tories. That is a $6.5 million projectto replace the heating and air condi-tioning systems in the 1950s-eradorms, as well as modernizing thekitchens. One goal is to make thedorms more energy efficient andeliminate a possible mold issue dueto moisture on the old heating andcooling lines.

“Both of these projects will great-

ly improve thequality of lifefor our airmen,” Hazlett said.

During the renovation, someenlisted members have been movedinto officers’ dorms.

“In our opinion it is a lot easier

for the officers to be able to affordliving off-base with their housingallowance versus the younger enlist-ed folks,” Hazlett said.

On the runway In fiscal year 2014, Vance will

undertake a $30 million repair proj-ect on its outside runway and taxi-ways. A $1.7 million patching, or“bandage,” project on the runwaywas completed in December.

The upcoming project will takethe outside runway out of commis-sion for an extended period.

“This project will replace amajority of the concrete slabs outthere, along with a lot of other workto do a major upgrade, to extend thelife of that runway,” said Hazlett.“It’s not quite building a new one,but it’s pretty close.”

Closing the outside runway willrestrict operations for T-1s and T-38s, since only T-6s can use the

base’s inside runway.Neither the dormitory nor run-

way projects will be paid for withmilitary construction funds allocatedby Congress. The dorm project willbe funded with dormitory focusfunds, while the runway refurbish-ment is a standard infrastructure andrepair project.

Future projects being planned areadditions and alterations to Vancesquadron facilities. That $17.9 mil-lion project will expand and consoli-date existing squadron facilities.

“That’s really the long-rangevision,” Hazlett said. “We’re build-ing a flying training campus.”

Funding for this project will besought in fiscal year 2014, sinceDepartment of Defense andCongress have declared a moratori-um in funding military construction(milcon) projects in FY 2013.

Farther down the road is a $15.6million community support and pro-fessional development center.

FAIRVIEW — Community leadersare optimistic about the city’s future,thanks in large part to ongoing develop-ment in the oil and natural gas industry.

Major County has yet to see a resur-gence in drilling activity but has benefit-ed from its position between horizontaldrilling fields to the north and south.

“Major County is in a good locationright now because it’s kind of a centrallocation for all the oil and gas activityaround us,” said Major County AssessorDonise Rogers.

That central position has brought sev-eral new companies to Fairview in thepast two years, including O-TexPumping, Quest Chemical and CrescentServices. Those companies located infacilities vacated by other oil field serviceproviders in 2009, when oil field activityall but disappeared from the county.

Rogers said the county recently bene-fited from approximately $30 million ininvestments at an Atlas PipelineMidContinent WestOk facility north ofRingwood and could benefit from a pro-posed pipeline junction in Cleo Springs.

“We are seeing some growth in the oiland gas industry, even though there’s notthat much drilling here in the county,”Rogers said.

Demand for progressAll of that increased activity also is

leading to increased demand for employ-ees and employee training programs.

Steve Kliewer, director of businessand industry services at NorthwestTechnology Center-Fairview, said therecurrently are more than 1,300 job open-ings in northwest Oklahoma, most ofthem being in oil field-related trucking.

“We’ve had a considerable amount ofdemand for industry help, especially forCDL Class A skills for truck drivers,”Kliewer said.

He said demand is up in all industrysectors, but the oil and natural gas indus-

try “is overshadowing everything else.”“We have a lot of small companies in

our area that service the oil and naturalgas industry, and one of our biggestneeds right now is providing informationand training for safety requirements sothey can be in compliance with(Occupational Safety and Health Admin-istration) regulations,” Kliewer said.

Major County Economic Develop-ment Corp. president Mark Stubsten alsocredited the oil and gas industry withfueling local economic development.

“We’re witnessing a lot of traffic,motels and restaurants being full, he said,“and with that activity we continue to seecompanies look-ing for locationsto move in.”

MCEDC isc o n s i d e r i n gconstructing abuilding in Fair-view IndustrialPark to accom-modate biggerdemand forbusiness space.MCEDC’s pre-vious “specbuilding” is oc-cupied by Pow-erMax Equipment, which specializes inrefurbishing and selling industrial equip-ment.

“We have a company that hasexpressed an interest in having a buildingbuilt in the industrial park, but we’re stillworking on finalizing that deal,”Stubsten said.

He said MCEDC already had lookedinto constructing a second spec building,“but we didn’t want to progress on a specbuilding if we had a candidate interestedin working with us on a design.”

Other developments in the industrialpark include the construction of a public-access CNG pump currently beinginstalled by L&S Fuels.

‘Opportunities on the horizon’MCEDC also partnered recently with

Fairview Chamber of Commerce, city ofFairview, Farmers and MerchantsNational Bank and Fairview Savings andLoan Association to sponsor theFairview Storefront Improvement

Contest. The contest, which will con-clude in June, offers $10,000 in prizes tolocal businesses for improvements totheir store fronts.

Overall, Stubsten rated the prospectsfor future development in Fairview andMajor County as “excellent.”

“We’re seeing a number of opportuni-ties on the horizon, and we’re going tosee more development in Fairview andMajor County,” he said.

Fairview city manager Dale Sidesshared in that optimistic outlook.

“Things are looking very positivehere,” Sides said. “The traffic is way up,our sales tax revenue is up, we have a lot

of people inquir-ing about com-mercial proper-ties to rent, andthose are themain indicatorswe’re looking atright now.”

Sides saidFairview’s salestax revenue thisyear has shown a12 to 13 percentincrease over thesame period lastyear.

Fairview recently has undertaken anumber of significant capital improve-ment projects.

The city completed a $3 millionproject to build the new FairviewAquatic Center and renovate the for-mer Blackledge Auditorium, nowknown as Fairview CommunityCenter, last year.

Sides said the newly renovatedcommunity center, complete with amain event space and conferencerooms, “is something that’s reallyshining in the community.”

The city also recently completed a$1.8 million project to repair its sewerlagoons and is continuing with a$250,000 project to build a stormwater detention pond on the city’s westside.

Sides said improvements in salestax revenue will help with the ongoinginfrastructure projects, “but those arethings that would have been on boardregardless.”

In a good placeCity leaders of Fairviewseeing growth potential

We’re seeing a numberof opportunities on thehorizon, and we’re go-

ing to see more developmentin Fairview and Major County.”

KREMLIN — In 1992 therewas a little problem in theKremlin area. A few kids weregetting bored and getting intotrouble, committing petty acts ofvandalism and small crimes.

Kremlin’s Gini Zaloudekdecided there was something thatcould be done about it.

“I decided, since I did volun-teer work and it gave me self-esteem, if I taught kids to do that,it would give them self-esteem,”Zaloudek said.

The WildHorse Gang wasborn, and it has been goingstrong for nearly 20 years. Madeup of youths of all ages, Gangmembers learn to care for theircommunity and for othersthrough volunteering.

WildHorse Gang does manyvolunteer activities, includingplanting wildflowers, roadsideclean-up, ushering for EnidSymphony Orchestra and Cher-okee Strip Parade clean-up.

A can-do attitude“Fifteen years ago, we started

the aluminum can round-upbecause they were going to closethe Kremlin pool,” Zaloudeksaid. “We really want to keep thepool. It’s one of the few thingsfor the kids to do (in Kremlin) inthe summer.”

The group collects aluminumcans year-round to raise moneyto keep the pool open, gatheringfrom as far away as Crescent.Zaloudek said the gang hasraised about $4,000 for the poolduring the last several years.

All of the aluminum canmoney goes to the pool, but

WildHorse Gang raises moneyfor other causes, too, includingKremlin’s education foundation,which gives grants to teachers.

Bettering themselvesWhile the Gang, comprised

of about 40 Kremlin youths,works hard to clean up and maketheir community better, Zalou-dek also makes sure the mem-bers better themselves.

Recently she had WildHorseGang members attend an eti-quette school.

“The kids were incredible,”said Zaloudek. “It was an all-daything, from 10 in the morninguntil four in the afternoon. I hadno trouble with the kids.”

The WildHorse Gang meetsmonthly at Zaloudek’s home,and while they plan ways to helpothers, Zaloudek said she tries toteach them little things — suchas a proper handshake and eyecontact, as well as the impor-tance of the flag salute and pridein the nation, state and communi-ty — that make a big impact.

Credit where credit is dueZaloudek’s gumption and

heart have kept WildHorse Ganggoing for two decades, but shewon’t take the credit.

“We get a lot of support fromour local community membershere in Kremlin, and the peoplein Enid are incredible,” Zaloudeksaid. “(The members’ parentsare) the most wonderful parentsin the world.”

She said the local school alsohas been supportive of Wild-Horse Gang and its mission.

But the kids, she said, reallyare what keep the gang going.Zaloudek said children as young

as 2 have joined WildHorseGang, and there are some mem-bers who have been with thegroup from early childhoodthrough high school.

“I want these kids to learnhow important it is to do thingsfor other people,” she said. “I’mso proud of what these kids haveaccomplished. It’s amazing howthey volunteer, and their parentsare my biggest supporters.”

WildHorse Gang has earnedseveral honors — includingrecognition from the governor —but they also bestow honor uponothers. The gang awards a $500scholarship to a graduating sen-ior who intends to continue vol-unteer work throughout his orher college years and gives aBeautiful Day award each yearto a community member who

gives time to help others.“That award was named for

Steve Gannon who always said,‘Isn’t it a beautiful day?’”Zaloudek said. “He was the firstrecipient.”

She credits her parents forinstilling a drive to help others.Her mother taught her to workhard, she said, and her fathertaught her to have fun doing it.

That is just what WildHorseGang does. They work hard andhave fun all while helping othersevery step of the way.

In addition to aluminum cans,WildHorse Gang collects pulltabs from cans to donate toRonald McDonald House inOklahoma City.

Monetary donations may bemade to WildHorse Gang atBank of Kremlin.

HENNESSEY — Town officialsand civic leaders are moving for-ward with a $3.5 million, five-yearmaster plan for community develop-ment, and they hope to complete theproject without dipping into tax dol-lars.

Phase one of the plan, with aprice tag of $768,935, calls for con-structing a skate park, volleyballcourt, basketball court, playgroundand 128-space parking lot.

The second phase of the plan,estimated to cost $2.73 million, willinclude a new aquatic park with aswimming pool, splash pad, slides,bath house and restrooms. The thirdand final phase of the master plan,for which a cost has yet to be esti-mated, would include constructionof a community event center and tor-nado shelter.

Hennessey town administratorTiffany Tillman said the town hasapplied for a $384,467 Land andWater Conservation Fund grant fromOklahoma Tourism and RecreationDepartment. The remainder of thephase one funding is slated to comefrom Community DevelopmentBlock Grant funds and communitydonations of equipment and labor.

Tillman said the second and thirdphases of the project, the aquatic andevent centers, were not included inthe Land and Water Conservationfunding “because they did not meetthe grant criteria.”

While the majority of the masterplan remains unfunded, HennesseyMayor Wes Hardin is optimisticcommunity and corporate donationswill fill the gap and avert the need

for a bond issue.Hardin said dona-

tions and pledges of land, equipmentand labor, along with CommunityDevelopment Block Grant money,already have added up to nearly$385,000 for phase one.

“We’re hoping we can do thewhole project that way,” Hardinsaid. “I think the majority of thecommunity is behind this project,and I think we can get it done.”

Hennessey public works directorCurtis Turner also is optimistic aboutfinding grants and private fundingsources for the master plan.

“We were so pressed for timewhen we submitted the grant appli-cation for phase one, up to that pointwe hadn’t really been able to pursueadditional funding,” Turner said.“There are a lot of other avenues topursue out there for funding, and Ithink it’s a goal for the communitythat everybody wants to get involvedwith and get behind.”

United for the townTurner said the community has

been involved in the master planningprocess for more than a year.

Town residents were asked tosubmit project suggestions for themaster plan. Then, at a public meet-ing, each resident in attendance wasgiven three votes for elements of thefive-year plan.

Hennessey United, a coalition ofcommunity leaders and volunteers,has been instrumental in gatheringpublic support for the master plan.

“We’re just an organization thattries to pull all the entities togetherand make things work,” saidHennessey United president JimmyBerkenbile.

Hennessey United was foundedin 1999 as Hennessey 2010 with themission of creating a 10-year strate-gic plan for the town. The groupchanged its name in 2009 to reflectthe next decade of planning.

Hennessey United has helped

coordinate master plan effortsbetween the town, its citizens andHennessey Board of Education.Coordination with the school boardhas proved invaluable in getting themaster plan started.

“The only way this thing wasgoing to work was to go through theschools, so we went to the schoolboard to see if there was a way we

could build the master plan aroundthe schools,” Berkenbile said.

The school board was receptiveof the plan and donated three and aquarter acres of land adjacent to theelementary school for the project.

Ground-breaking for the projectis on hold, pending an answer on thetown’s application for the Land andWater Conservation Fund grant.

That answer is expected in May.Turner said phase one of the proj-

ect would be completed by fall if thegrant is approved in May.

Other long-term projects not inthe master plan include improve-ments to the town’s sewer system,addition of an industrial park andbeautification in Bullfoot Park.

In the short term, the town is con-tinuing its Hometown Hootenannyseries, a music festival, with the nextinstallment slated April 14. Alsoscheduled for April 14 is HennesseyRed Dirt Festival, a separate musicfestival featuring five live bands.

Kicking themout of the nestwith a good nest eggRaising funding for scholarshipsis vital mission for Garber alumniBy Robert BarronStaff Writer

GARBER — Deserving seniors at Garber High School cancount on receiving a scholarship from school alumni, thanks toan alumni program to endow the fund.

Jim Lamer, Garber Public Schools superintendent, said thealumni association took on the responsibility of raising fundingand have been successful. Lamer said Garber normally gradu-ates 20 to 30 seniors each year, although the 2011-12 classshould number 18.

“We have a good number of underclassmen. This year thereare 33 juniors, 28 sophomores and 29 freshmen. The alumnihave always had a scholarship, but they matched it with a com-munity foundation and got some tax benefits,” Lamer said.

Ted Metscher, class of 1956 member and president of thealumni association, said Garber High School once fundedscholarships through a frantic appeal to alumni every two years.The association officers became concerned the fund — and thescholarships — could dry up.

“Four years ago we decided to endow some money to pro-vide scholarships in perpetuity,” Metscher said.

They contacted Communities Foundation of Oklahoma,which specializes in small community-endowed funds, andstarted sending information to alumni.

They raised more than $40,000 within a year. At the time,the foundation matched 50 percent, and the association tookadvantage of that by starting two other funds. One was theChampionship Fund, because Garber won state championshipsin football and basketball that year, and the other wasBreckinridge Fund, named after a prominent graduate.

Last year the group offered four $500 scholarships in 2011,with much of the money from endowed funds proceeds. Withthe rising cost of education beyond high school, group membershope to offer $1,000 scholarships.

Also in 2011, the alumni began the Merl Huntsinger fundafter receiving a large donation from Huntsinger, a 1935 grad-uate. Huntsinger, now 96, sent a check to start the fund.

“The foundation matched it, and now there are four fundsthat will fund four $1,000 scholarships in the future for deserv-ing graduates of Garber High School,” Metscher said. “Exceptfor the Huntsinger fund, they have all been $25, $50, $100 con-tributions. We got overwhelming support from the alumni.”

With great fundraising success in 2011, the four funds total$98,876, he said.

WATONGA — The city council hasapproved clearing an area east of town for useas an industrial park to attract business to theBlaine County community.

An 80-acre tract east of town was designat-ed in December, said Mayor Dale Green, afterhe had received some inquiries — mostly oilfield-related — about possible building sites.The proposal was to clear the front half of thetract and divide it into five-acre strips availablefor lease. The city could extend water and elec-trical utilities, but tenants would need to pro-vide their own septic system, Green said.

“We don’t have the money tobuild any buildings. Several oilcompanies have moved in andplan to construct, but no one isactually committed yet. We wantto get it developed, but we wantto know what’s going on,”Green said.

There has been discussionamong the council members toseek advice from nearbyChisholm Trail TechnologyCenter or Central OklahomaRegional Development, a part-nership comprised of 10 com-munities, including Watonga, incentral Oklahoma.

Green said there is an areawith an existing railroad spur foraccess to the railroad. The cityhas owned the property since the1970s. The city also owns alarge building recently pur-chased by an aircraft salvagebusiness with plans to lease orsell to an industry.

“Anyone who wants to leasea space (can) come to the citycouncil and talk,” Green said.

Economic development hassuffered in Watonga since theclosure of nearby Diamond-back prison. The well-knownWatonga Cheese Factory alsorelocated, eventually moving to Texas.

“We’re looking at a company now that islooking for a railroad spur, and they need 40acres,” he said. “Maybe that will go.”

DRUMMOND — Across the street from Drummond Public Schools, a newmulti-purpose building is taking form.

The building will be used by students of the elementary and high school and beavailable for community events, such as meetings and reunions. It will have seatingfor nearly 600 people.

The community of just more than 400 residents passed a $2.9 million bond proj-ect to fund its construction.

According to school Super-intendent Mike Woods, thebuilding not only will providespace for agriculture projectsand sports events it will easethe strain of scheduling the useof the school’s gymnasium.

The 350 students — 90 ofwhom are high schoolers —share the existing gymnasium.

“Sharing the one maingym, that’s not too bad, butwhat you do is you build yourschedule around the gymbeing open,” Woods said.

The multi-purpose facility will serve as more than a gymnasium, though. It willprovide room for such activities as the school’s agriculture program.

Construction began in October.“We’ve had tremendous support from the Farmers Co-op,” Woods said.He added Garfield County also has lent help with building tasks.The next building project on the Drummond agenda is a 143-foot tall, 50-

kilowatt wind turbine. The turbine, to be located southeast of the multi-pur-pose building, will supply about 60 to 70 percent of the school’s electricityneeds.

The turbine will be paid for by a $369,000 grand from Oklahoma Department ofCommerce.

KINGFISHER — Takinga drive down Main Street, onenotices business after busi-ness these days.

Situated along U.S. 81, thestreet features a variety ofbusinesses offering personali-ty to a small-town economy.These businesses have addedup, and the small city’s mainstreet nearly is full, accordingto the Kingfisher Chamber ofCommerce manager.

“We have very few open-ings,” Judy Whipple said.“Most of these would besmall office spaces for rent.”

Kingfisher Chamber ofCommerce has participated in15 new business activitiesthroughout the past year. Shesaid the area along U.S. 81has added several retail shops.

“We are certainly growing.The new shops are small butvery unique,” Whipple said.

One new business is CabinFever Mercantile, an antiquemall open since fall.

“It is a very nice additionto Main Street,” she said.

She said Main StreetKingfisher has remained con-sistent for years.

“We haven’t had a lot ofempty businesses,” she said.“If one business goes under italways seems like another isthere to take its place.”

Even the recession could-n’t deliver a fatal blow. Whilesome took sales dips, Whip-ple said, they kept going.

The area recently under-went a makeover with repave-ment of the highway, which isrenamed Main Street in theKingfisher city limits, andrenovations of sidewalks.

“We’ve had a lot of con-struction for the past seven oreight months. We were veryhappy to see everything com-pleted and back to normal,”Whipple said.

Anew set of statues will beunveiled on Main Street in aceremony Thursday.

One features Paul Sykes, aslave who traveled fromMississippi to Kingfisher byfoot. Sykes founded a churchin Kingfisher and becamenationally known as hedanced and sang at KingfisherTrain Depot in support of hischurch. Many trains Sykesperformed for carried WorldWar I soldiers.

Also featured in the statueset will be Keith Lowry, theonly man from Kingfisher todie in World War I.

The statue of Lowry willbe watching Sykes. The finalstatue in the set will be a littlegirl throwing pennies toSykes. The little girl statue ismodeled after a Kingfishergirl whose name was drawnin a contest, Whipple said.

“I think our downtown isalive and thriving,” she said.

MEDFORD — Oma LeaRogers has been part ofMedford Ambulance Servicefor 32 years, during whichtime she has seen the servicego through a number ofchanges.

Another change is comingsoon. Medford AmbulanceService is one of several serv-ices located in towns alongU.S. 81 to be chosen to partic-ipate in new program withIntegris Bass Baptist HealthCenter in Enid.

This month Medford Am-bulance Service will receive a12-lead electrocardiogram tomonitor cardiac patients. Oth-er ambulance services in theprogram include Enid’s LIFEEMS and those in Pond Creekand Waukomis.

“I think that it will give usa lot more facts, and we canhook them up immediately ifwe suspect a cardiac prob-lem,” said Rogers, director ofMedford Ambulance Service.

The patient’s EKG reportwill be transmitted wirelesslyto emergency room doctors ateither Bass or St. Mary’sRegional Medical Center.Readings can be sent everyfive minutes, if necessary, soER doctors can keep track ofthe patient’s condition whilethe ambulance still is en route.

“They can call us and saythe patient needs advancedlife support, so we might haveto transfer them over to anoth-er ambulance service,” Rog-ers said. “It will be a wonder-ful advantage to our service.”

If the EKG readings indi-

cate a heart problem, patientscan skip the emergency roomaltogether and be taken direct-ly to the heart catheter lab fortreatment.

“They talk about the gold-en hour. With this system thepatient can go directly to thecath lab, and they (physicians)will already have informationto go on with this person’sheart,” said Dea Kretchmar,Medford’s city manager.“This will be another level ofpatient care that we will beable to provide.”

Bill Holland, a formernurse practitioner in Medfordwho currently works inShawnee, will train emer-gency medical technicians onthe operation of the 12-leadEKG, which records 12 dif-ferent electrical signals at thesame time, giving EMTs andphysicians a more detailedpicture of what is going onwith a patient’s heart.

“The 12-lead EKG willmonitor blood pressure, pulse,everything,” said Rogers.“This will be a boon to every-body.”

“I think it will give us somuch more information aboutwhat is actually going on withthe patient,” said Kretchmar.“We will know if we need tocall for an advanced life sup-port intercept or just takethem to the hospital.”

Medford Ambulance Serv-ice covers 550 square miles,basically the northern half ofGrant County, Rogers said.

“It is a huge area,” shesaid. “This 12-lead monitorwould be very beneficial,especially in the far-outregions.”

Always seeking volunteersThe service has two ambu-

lances, one equipped withfour-wheel drive. Seven peo-ple, five EMTs and two first-responders, work for MedfordAmbulance Service.

“They get a small stipendeach month for the hours theycover,” Kretchmar said, “butthey are basically all volun-teers. We are a small crew, butwe are always looking formore volunteers.”

Rogers is the longest-serv-ing volunteer. The retiredschool teacher formerlyserved as the service’s train-ing officer as well as directorand EMT. Jim Shepherd hastaken over as the service’straining officer.

While she was teaching,Kretchmar said, Rogersworked “a couple hundredhours a month on her off-hours and weekends.” Afterretiring from her post as afirst- and third-grade teacher,Rogers now has much moretime to devote to her ambu-lance service duties.

“Now she covers a mini-mum of 350 hours eachmonth,” she said. “Oma Leahas been a treasure to theservice. She is our go-to girlon the ambulance service.”

For Rogers, her time spentwith Medford AmbulanceService is very personal.

“This is my home,” shesaid. “I know most of the peo-ple. We have a lot of new peo-ple, but I try to make it mybusiness to meet them so weare on a first-name basis.”

State-of-the-art serviceMedford Ambulance Serv-

ice was founded in the 1970sby a local funeral home,Kretchmar said, before thecity of Medford becameinvolved.

The service is fundedthrough a voter-approved,one-penny, county emergencyservices sales tax, first adopt-ed about a decade ago andalready renewed once by vot-ers.

Medford AmbulanceService and Medford FireDepartment both have bene-

fited from the tax, revenuesfrom which have increaseddramatically in recent monthsbecause of an upswing in oilfield activity in Grant County.

The increase in tax rev-enue has allowed MedfordAmbulance Service to setaside some $7,000 a month topurchase a new ambulance.

“We have ordered heartmonitors, AEDs (AutomatedExternal Defibrillators) andnew training equipment, allpurchased through the tax,”Kretchmar said.

The service also has beenable to purchase electric cotscapable of raising and lower-ing patients without EMTshaving to lift them.

“They (the new cots) willlift 750 pounds,” Rogers said.“We have been able toupgrade our supplies andequipment. We are becomingstate-of-the-art.”

Medford AmbulanceService shares a building withthe town’s fire department, afacility completed in 2006.The building, Rogers said,was paid off quickly.

“It was already paid offright when this oil boom start-ed,” she said. “We were veryfrugal and saved and paid itoff as quickly as we could.”

The combined fire/ambu-lance building has a backupgenerator and could serve as ashelter in case of widespreadpower outage in Medford.

In January the state con-ducted a surprise inspectionof Medford AmbulanceService, and “we passed withflying colors,” said Kretch-mar. “We asked how ourambulance service ranks, andhe said we are right up therefor a small-town service. Thatboosted our esteem a lot.”

“We didn’t have any defi-ciencies,” Rogers said. “Youhave to have everything youare supposed to have on hislist, all your meds have to bein date, everything has to bein tip-top condition. We arevery proud of that.”

Later this year MedfordAmbulance Service will un-dergo another big change:Rogers plans to retire inDecember.
