By Helen BarrettIn the 1950s drivers from across

the country flocked to Alva on weekends for stock car races at the Woods County Fairgrounds. Many of those racers became famous for racing on the national level.

Racing returned to the Alva Speedway LLC, located south of the Women’s Building, on Satur-day, July 12.

Both the cars and the track are

RACING RETURNS — Go-karts negotiate a turn on the new Alva Speedway LLC track located at the Woods County Fairgrounds. The second night of sanctioned racing will be held this Saturday, July 16.

Drivers, start your engines!smaller than the souped-up ver-sions running in the ‘50s. Three Saturdays of every month, people from surrounding communities and bordering states return to the newly opened track to race offset go-karts.

“It’s just like NASCAR only on smaller scale,” co-owner/operator Stetson Vore said. “It’s their oval.”

The International Track Federa-tion officially sanctioned the track and races.

“We run five-horsepower mo-tors and 6.5-horsepower motors,” Vore said.

Vore and his co-owner/sister Sadie provide rules and restrictions for all racers at the drivers’ meeting prior to the start of races. They run 10 laps for ‘hot laps’ to determine if the machines are running properly. Ten more laps comprises the heats division, followed by 15 laps in the features division, where winners receive trophies.

They also have one race per night that’s for women only, he said.

“The minimum age for drivers is 8 years old,” Vore said. “Races are divided by age groups: 8-11

years, 12-15 years and 16 and up.”The go-karts race on a 1/16-

mile track inside the previous race track. Top speeds for the adults run about 35-40 miles per hour.

“You’re about an inch off the ground, so you feel like you’re fly-ing,” Vore said.

Entire families participate in the go-kart races.

All four memberes of the Vore family – dad Shane, mom Shannon, Stetson and Sadie – drive go-karts in their age divisions. Grandfather David Earl Vore serves as the flag-man. Grandmother Judy handles the concession stand.

“We have a lot of four-member families participating,” Vore said.

In the BeginningFor Stetson, racing began

around the age of 14 when they at-tended a race at Wellington, Kan., and purchased a kart. He’s been passionate about the sport since then.

“We raced at the Waynoka track until it closed, then decided to build our own up here,” he said.

The plan had to first be approved by the Alva Regional Airport Com-mission, owner of the property, and the Woods County Fair Board, les-sees of the track.

After getting the proposal ap-proved, the track had to be built to official specifications.

“We had to haul in 130 loads of dirt and put up 3,000 feet of pipe fence,” Vore said. “It was a big task; it took a long time.”

Gates open at 5 p.m. Races be-gin at 7 p.m. Admission for specta-tors is $5. Pit passes cost $15. Driv-ers do not need to reserve spaces in order to race.

“They just need to show up be-tween five and six o’clock” Vore said.

Alva Speedway LLC has an of-ficial Facebook page that provides information about upcoming races. For more information, contact Vore at 580-430-9082

“This is not like a fun park where you go pay to drive cars,” Vore said. “It’s very fast, sanc-tioned races.”

WINNER — Trophy girl Colby Weeks presents a trophy to Shane Vore, first-place winner of the 6.5 Clone Men’s Division.

By Lynn L. MartinThe Alva Speedway, LLC, had

its first races last Saturday night with a couple dozen go-carts and about 100 spectators showing up at the newly developed track at the Woods County Fairgrounds.

The 18-month lease that the Woods County Fair Board entered into with the speedway’s princi-pal, Shane Vore, will cost $50 for the duration of the lease. The fair board looked upon the new venture as a way to attract go-cart owners and their fans to Alva to help fill motels and restaurants, according to David Hamil, the fair board’s chairman.

But it turned out that the fair board is required to have the per-mission of the Alva Regional Air-port Commission to sub-lease any part of the fairgrounds, and the fair board hadn’t obtained it.

At the Alva Regional Airport Commission’s regular meeting Monday, July 14, City Manager Joe Don Dunham said it was fur-ther discovered that the fair board itself doesn’t have a current lease with the airport commission.

Hamil apologized time and again during the meeting, saying they didn’t mean any disrespect to the commission. He said they sim-ply didn’t realize they needed its approval for a sub-lease.

City Manager Dunham said the previous lease called for the airport commission to receive 10 percent of any revenue generated by the fair board’s operations. All par-ties in the discussion agreed that the term “revenue” is not well-de-fined in the previous lease. Ham-il pointed out that income from leasing horse stalls and the fair-grounds buildings, and the $50 for 18-month go-cart lease, does not bring in enough funds to even pay for the fairgrounds manager.

The airport commission ex-pressed the view that they weren’t really interested in seeking rev-enue from the fair board on these routine operations. Instead, their interest was not getting cross-ways with the Federal Aviation Adminis-tration (FAA), which has rules re-garding the use of the airport land.

The airport commission tabled the matter of entering into a lease with the fair board for the fair-grounds until Dunham can return with a lease that has better word-ing, and until everyone has a mu-

Go-cart track oversight cleared up at airport commission meeting

tual understanding of what is ex-pected.

However, the airport commis-sion did go ahead with a motion to “signal” to Alva Speedway that they will approve a sub-lease for the purpose of go cart activities when a proper lease with the fair board is executed.

Tractor PurchaseThe commission has been

leasing a John Deere tractor from Western Equipment at the rate of $30 per hour for mowing airport property. It takes about 30 hours to mow the airport each time, which totals about $900 each time mow-ing is needed.

With the new fiscal year, the commission has sufficient funds to purchase a John Deere 6105D utili-ty tractor with a 15-foot snow blade for a total of $63,483.32. They will trade in a John Deere 3320 com-pact tractor for $11,350, bringing the final cost to $52,133.82. The small tractor currently owned is not powerful enough, nor does it have blades large enough to effec-tively remove snow. By purchasing a larger tractor, they will no longer have to lease one, and they will have ample capability for snow re-moval and mowing.

Dunham said he had been as-signed by the city council to be more pro-active about causing city crews that mow and remove snow to help other city agencies. He said, “I’m not saying this about the airport board, but there are oth-er boards who have expressed the view they are ignored by the city when this type of help is needed.”

He illustrated that when a snow storm happens, the city crews will be south of town to clear a path to Share Medical Center. Then they might be able to swing by and clear airport runways.

Chairman Bob Baker pointed out there are two miles of runways and another mile of taxiways that have to be cleared quickly. When a pilot takes off from a distant airport for a several hour flight to Alva, he can’t be surprised when he arrives to find snow-covered runways. “They have to be cleared very quickly,” he said.

The commission went ahead and passed the request to purchase the larger tractor with the 15-foot blade. This request will be present-ed to the city council at its next meeting.

Airport Manager’s ReportAirport Manager Greg Murray

said that the survey for the instru-ment approach has finally been accepted by the FAA. He said the FAA will develop an approach, and he hopes they will “publish” notice of the approach in Novem-ber. Murray distributed a work-flow sheet showing the steps yet remaining with the FAA. The data will first move to the flight proce-dures office, then to the instrument approach design office, and then to actual “flight checking.”

The fuel revenue for June was $22,529 compared to May’s total of $36,099.45. Murray mentioned that continuous rainy days adverse-ly affected fuel sales. Also, the Haverfield helicopter crew is mov-ing to Woodward, as their work is now closer to that city. He said they may still purchase fuel from Alva occasionally, but not as frequently.

Murray told the commission he had been cautioned by the firm that maintains the AWOS (Automat-ed Weather Observation System, consisting of units that gather and disseminate aviation- and weath-er-related data) that the equipment is old enough that spare parts are difficult to find. He obtained quotes that a new unit would run from $8,000 - $10,000. He said they can continue to use the old system until some unobtainable part fails.

A new employee, Tyler Trice, has been hired to alternate week-ends with the current part-time em-ployee.

The commission went through the “reorganization” of officers required each fiscal year. No changes were made. Bob Baker was re-elected chairman and Cory Washburn was re-elected secretary.

Near the end of the meeting, the commission voted to enter into executive session to evaluate Greg Murray’s performance as airport manager. After the executive ses-sion, commission members said they had praised Murray for the work he has been doing and rec-ommended he be given a one-step pay increase.

In the remarks section, Dunham said the “check is in the mail” from Sandridge for the drilling activity. Also, the Sandridge project has uti-lized 1.3 acres of farm lease land and there was talk that a small re-fund needs to be made to the Bus-ses for that reduction.

By Lynn L. MartinThe reorganization required of

public bodies at the start of a new fiscal year means nominations must be sought for the officer posi-tions. This year, the Alva Hospital Authority members chose to retain Jason Gaisford as chairman, Dar-lene Sanderson as vice chairman and Scott Brown as secretary.

“Sleep studies are coming back to the hospital,” said Share Chief Executive Officer (CEO( Kandice Allen. “They begin Aug. 14, with only one slot available for that month.” As things progress, the hospital hopes to increase the number of studies available. Med-ical staff chief Elizabeth Kinzie, MD, cheered that development.

New employees added during July include Linda Cano, Mandy Clepper, Rachel Crane, Michelle Henderson, Bobbie Hoover, Lyn-nzey Johnson, Terri Leeper, Kayla Mustard, Paige Little and Amee Stuck.

The CEO mentioned that the

Alva hospital sending 400 refund checksonline patient portal is live and accessible to the general public. This service permits those who have been hospital or lab patients to look at their medical records from their own personal computer. Hospital clients will need to con-tact the medical center to obtain access and password information. Melissa Headlee, who is super-vising this feature, said there are about five levels of security infor-mation required. Patients wanting to access their records will need to make a visit to the reception desk at the hospital and show a photo ID to obtain part of the security information needed. Hospital au-thority members praised Headlee on the work she has done on this system.

Refund checks are being issued to more than 400 patients who were charged “up-front” payments for lab work covered by insurers (such as Blue Cross/Blue Shield). Very often, insurers require a pa-tient to pay for lab tests them-

selves as part of their deductible, and then they will cover the most costly procedures. Blue Cross/Blue Shield notified the hospital they will pay for lab tests. So the hospital has issued checks back to the patients. Most of the refunds are $50 or less.

Allen reported volunteers logged 547.75 hours of work during June. She said this is the single most volunteer hours ever for the program in a one-month period.

Gross patient revenue for the month totaled $1,429,322, which was a $110,057 decrease com-pared to the prior month. Hospi-tal revenue increased by $7,827, nursing home revenue decreased by $114,662 and The Homestead’s revenue decreased by $3,223. To-tal patient days for June were 70 compared to 85 in May. The num-ber of hospice days for June was 142 compared to 88 in May. Total

Random Thoughts

This land is Ireland – Part 3By Roger Hardaway

During our trip to Ireland from May 26 to June 2, my wife and I stayed in a hotel

in downtown Dublin. From there, we were able to walk and ride buses to see many historical and cultural sights.

But one of the best things about any trip like this is taking excursions out of town. We took two such all-day tours and they added tremendously to our Irish vacation experience.

First, we went southwest of Dublin to the small town of Kilkenny, where the main attraction is a medieval castle.

But along the way we enjoyed seeing the beautiful Irish countryside with lush green pastures in which grazed many sheep, cattle and horses.

We also saw some breathtaking scenery when we ventured to Belfast, Northern Ireland. We returned to Dublin by driving along the northeast Irish coastline and viewing some beautiful natural wonders.

Going to Belfast was the most interesting part of our trip. When I was in high school

and college, Belfast was the scene of much bloody Protestant-Catholic violence – what the folks in Ireland call the time of “the troubles.”

Briefly, what happened is that Great Britain partitioned Ireland in 1921 with Northern Ireland (the Irish province of Ulster) being a place for Protestants loyal to the British to live.

Most Catholics in Ireland did not accept this division of their island passively. Terrorist groups – both Protestant and Catholic – began fighting each other over control of Northern Ireland.

Finally, in 1998, a “peace agreement” was hammered out, allowing the Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland to share power.

But Belfast remains a divided city even if the level of violence is much, much less than it was previously. The Catholic side of town and the Protestant side are divided by a so-called “peace wall,” which would not be necessary if there was really peace between the two groups.

Visiting Belfast was eye-opening and interesting, to say the least. I’ll wrap up this series of articles next week with a look at some of Ireland’s cultural history.

By Arden Chaffee“If you didn’t buy it from us, you paid too

much!” – Tom Parks. Tom was a pitch man for

several car dealerships back in the ‘90s. I saw him on Oklahoma, Kansas and New Mexico stations and I wonder where else he was syndicated.

I was raised on the philosophy that a good buy is the lowest price but that may

be misleading. My own experience started in seventh

grade when I was shopping for a football helmet. Face guards were finally catching on and I saved money by buying the helmet at OTASCO on Alva’s square and the face guard at Western Auto, also an Alva institution, uniting them for the ultimate protection.

Henry Ford was a master at saving money but improving the product simultaneously. He used packing crates for floor boards but paid extra for high-strength steel so he could use less of it. He became obsessed and continued to manufacture the Model T, insisting that lower price would lead to sales, but people won’t buy something obsolete, whatever the cost.

With technology moving at lightning speed, it certainly pays to do your homework before any purchase. My late friend, Max Curry Jr., was sales savvy and may have authored the quote, “The higher cost of a good repair is soon forgotten.”

With the Internet marketing everything, it’s a tough time for brick and mortar merchants, whose local support is critical to the community, to keep up. If we need a fire truck, will Amazon email one?

By Anne flahertyWASHINGTON (AP)

— Should your emails, web albums and other online accounts die when you do? Or should you be able to pass them down to a family member much as you would a house or a box of letters?

A leading group of lawyers says that families should immediately get access to everything online unless otherwise specified in a will. They are urging state lawmakers to enact their proposal so loved ones don’t get shut out as American lives move increasingly online.

“Our email accounts are our filing cabinets these days,” said Suzanne Brown Walsh, a Cummings & Lockwood attorney who led the effort. But “if you need access to an email account, in most states you wouldn’t get it.”

Should online accounts die when you die?

The Uniform Law Commission, whose members are appointed by state governments to help standardize state laws, on Wednesday endorsed the plan for “digital assets.” It would give loved ones access to — but not control of — the deceased’s digital accounts unless a will says otherwise.

To become law, the legislation would have to be adopted by each state’s legislature. It would trump “terms of service” agreements by tech companies that prohibit people from accessing an account that isn’t theirs.

“This is something most people don’t think of until they are faced with it. They have no idea what is about to be lost,” said Karen Williams of Beaverton, Oregon, who sued Facebook for access to her 22-year-old son Loren’s account after he died in a 2005 motorcycle accident.

Facebook and other tech companies have been reluctant to hand over their customers’ private data, and many people say they wouldn’t want their families to have unfettered access to their life online. But when confronted with death, families say they need access to settle financial details or simply for sentimental reasons.

What’s more, certain online accounts can be worth real money, such as a popular cooking blog or a gaming avatar that has acquired certain status online.

Privacy activists are skeptical of the proposal. Ginger McCall, associate director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, said a judge’s approval should be needed for access, to protect the privacy of both the owners of accounts and the people who communicate with them.

“The digital world is a different world” from offline, McCall said. “No one would keep 10 years of every communication they ever had with dozens or even hundreds of other people under their bed.”

Many people assume they can decide what happens by sharing certain passwords with a trusted family member, or even making those passwords part of their will. But in addition to potentially exposing passwords when a will becomes public record, anti-hacking laws and the terms of service agreements prohibit that.

Non-smoker on the verge of exileDear Annie: I am a nonsmoker

who has asthma and early heart disease. When I am at family events and outdoor concerts or entering stores and public places, I often find myself exposed to secondhand smoke from cigarettes and cigars. Even though I make every attempt to avoid this smoke, it is sometimes impossible. This results in my having burning eyes, difficulty breathing, a wet cough, etc. At times, I’ve needed oral and inhaled steroids because the inflammation was so severe.

I am not particularly welcome in some circles because my attempts to avoid the smoke are seen as “grandstanding” or being a ridiculous jerk. My only other option is to stay home and miss out on time with family and the concerts, festivals and other outdoor activities I enjoy.

Smokers clearly know the dangers of what they are putting in their lungs, and I respect their right to do so. Why is there no consideration or respect for those of us who cannot tolerate the effects of tobacco smoke? When did we become the bad guys who just need to suck it up (literally) or stay home? I’m not trying to start a war between smokers and nonsmokers here. I am simply looking for intelligent, viable solutions to a common problem. -- Gasping for Breath

Dear Gasping: We know how difficult this must be for you. Nonetheless, smoking is still

permitted at most outdoor venues, in which case, there is little you can do other than avoid them or wear a surgical mask to act as a filter. At family functions, you can suggest that the smokers be assigned a specific area so they can puff in peace and the rest of you can breathe more easily. Your family and close friends should be told about your medical difficulties and even given information so they understand you have a serious problem that should not be taken lightly. (Information is available through the American Lung Association at lung.org.)

Dear Annie: I’d like to express my sincerest thanks to you for your column. There are times when a person my age (85) becomes a little depressed and is in need of a bit of comic relief. Reading the letters that you receive from some of your readers renders a whole new meaning to the word “dysfunctional.”

If I were on the Nobel Prize nominating committee, I would certainly vote for you in the category of “Patience and Compassion.” It’s sometimes difficult for me to understand how some of these people can actually manage in this world. Keep up the good work. -- M. in Montreal

Dear M.: Your lighthearted letter brightened our day, although we will say that one reason we write this column is to help those who want an unbiased opinion about situations they cannot wrap their heads around. We know that it often

What’s in a wheel size?By Tom and Ray Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray:I drive Lincoln Navigators. I like

as good a ride as possible for this size vehicle. If I remember correctly, the one I bought in 2008 had 16-inch wheels. I think my 2010 also had 16-inch

wheels, but you could get optional 18s. By 2012 year, they still offered 18-inch wheels, but no one had them, so I had to get 20-inch wheels. Lincoln Navigators have not changed much over the years, but there was supposed to be a major change in 2015, so I thought I would wait. The big change: 22-inch wheels. When the wheel size goes up and the sidewall of the tire gets smaller, doesn’t the ride get worse? My thinking is that the smaller wheel with more sidewall will get a better ride -- right or wrong? Thanks. -- Arlon

RAY: Right. Generally speaking, you are correct. With more sidewall to absorb bumps, the ride will feel softer.

TOM: But the handling will be sloppier. That’s what they’re trying to combat with larger wheels and shorter sidewalls.

RAY: Usually, the total diameter of the wheel/tire combination stays the same, regardless of which wheel size you choose. The larger the wheel, the shorter the sidewall. This is so that they all fit in the same wheel well. They wouldn’t want to redesign the wheel well, because that costs what? Money.

TOM: But the shorter the sidewall, the less “flex” there is in the tire when you change direction. So shortening up the sidewall is a cheap way of improving the handling without modifying the truck’s suspension -- which costs what? Money.

RAY: And if Lincoln believes

that most potential buyers would prefer crisper handing to that living-room-sofa feel, that’s an easy way to accomplish it.

TOM: On a vehicle like a Lincoln Navigator, where the ride already is designed to be Barcalounger-esque, you often can “afford” the ride penalty of larger wheels and lower-profile tires. But on a car that is already tuned for handling rather than a cushy ride, like a BMW 3-series, for instance, we encourage people to avoid the larger wheels, because they may turn what had been an acceptable ride into an unacceptably harsh one.

RAY: But lots of people are going for the larger wheels these days anyway, for styling reasons. Wheel aesthetics have changed in the past 10 years, as your history of Navigator wheel sizes illustrates. These days, if you see 16-inch wheels on a Navigator, they’ll probably look tiny and out of scale.

TOM: But if you prioritize a pillowy ride over crisp handling, then you’re right to opt for the smallest wheels that the manufacturer makes available -- if you can find ‘em, because even the dealers rarely order them. Good luck, Arlon.

Dear Annie: After reading the responses to “Bob in North Carolina,” I agree that some women who present the news wear sexy clothes. I also believe that many of them debase themselves because they need the job.

It’s a shame women can’t be appreciated for their professional talents alone. But, that said, what’s good for the gander is good for the goose. So let’s get rid of those wrinkly, white-haired tie-and-suit men and spice up the news with younger guys showing off their arm muscles and chest hair. Maybe that would make the bleak news we hear more fun for all of us. -- Fair’s Fair

have come up with their own solutions. Facebook, for example, will “memorialize” accounts by allowing already confirmed friends to continue to view photos and old posts. Google, which runs Gmail, YouTube and Picasa Web Albums, offers its own version: If people don’t log on after a while, their accounts can be deleted or shared with a designated person. Yahoo users agree when signing up that their accounts expire when they do.

But the courts aren’t convinced that a company supplying the technology should get to decide what happens to a person’s digital assets. In 2005, a Michigan probate judge ordered Yahoo to hand over the emails of a Marine killed in Iraq after his parents argued that their son would have wanted to share them. Likewise, a court eventually granted Williams, the

Oregon mother, access to her son’s Facebook account, although she says the communications appeared to be redacted.

Williams said she supports letting people decide in their wills whether accounts should be kept from family members.

“I could understand where some people don’t want to share everything,” she said in a phone interview this week. “But to us, losing him (our son) unexpectedly, anything he touched became so valuable to us.” And “if we were still in the era of keeping a shoebox full of letters, that would have been part of the estate, and we wouldn’t have thought anything of it.”

From Page 5 OnlineOKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Joe Dorman, Democratic nominee for governor, said the potential of Mary Fallin appointing Janet Barresi as Secretary of Education would be disastrous for Oklahoma’s public education system.

“I’ve heard from multiple sources that Mary Fallin is considering the appointment of Janet Barresi as Secretary of Education,” said Dorman. “This is an absolutely bone-chilling idea for Oklahoma’s education system – but, given how Fallin and Barresi share the same regressive education policies, what’s most scary is how plausible it might be.”

Dorman said Robert Sommers’ announced resignation as Secretary of Education gives Fallin a chance

Dorman concerned aboutpossibility of Fallin appointing Barresi education secretaryContinued Fal-esi collaboration would be devastating for Oklahoma’s schools

to keep Barresi in a policy-making position.

“Sommers’ retirement gives Fallin a prime opportunity to reverse the June primary results and to continue the ‘Fal-esi’ plan,” said Dorman. “This means more one-size-fits-all, high-stakes tests; more flawed A-F grading for schools; and continued overall lack of respect for public education. The voters last month soundly repudiated this agenda, but I fear Fallin didn’t get the message. ”

Dorman said he would implement education policies that take into account the expertise of those in the classroom, and said the possibility of Fallin appointing Barresi was too great a risk for Oklahomans to take.

“Fallin may deny she would appoint Barresi, but over these

last four years she has shown she cannot be trusted on education,” said Dorman. “Even with her flip-flop on Common Core and many other issues, her hand-picked Board of Education continues to push ‘Fal-esi’ policies. The Fallin Board of Education demonstrated this by suing to block HB 3399, the repeal of Common Core. We need a governor who will implement sensible education reform and give the needed resources to our schools. I will implement rigorous and developmentally appropriate Oklahoma-based standards that empower both teachers and students, eliminate harmful high stakes standardized tests and dramatically increase education funding.”

“We cannot continue Fallin and Barresi’s destructive education policies,” concluded Dorman. “Oklahoma’s children and our future are too important. We can and we must do better.”

Woods Countycommissioners take care of yearly renewals

The Woods County OSU Cooperative Extension Service will hold a meeting to review the programs available in the 2014 Farm Bill on Aug. 7 at Northwest Technology Center’s Alva campus at 1801 S. 11th St. beginning at 5:30 p.m. with light snacks available.

OSU Agricultural Policy Professor Dr. Jody Campiche will review the provisions on the Agriculture Act of 2014, which was passed by Congress this past spring. Many of the detailed rules and deadlines have yet to be announced by USDA, but the major segments of the bill and program decisions producers will face will be outlined during the meeting. A spreadsheet computer program that allows producers to input their specific farm parameters has been developed and will be demonstrated during the presentation. The final version of this decision-aid tool will be available to download as soon as the final rules have been announced.

Tyler Castonguay, Woods

Woods County Farm Bill meeting Aug. 7

County Farm Service Agency director, will give an update on the Livestock Disaster Assistance Program enrollment currently in progress. Castonguay will review which cattle operations are eligible for assistance and how to document herd numbers to apply for assistance. He will also give any current updates on the status of the crop provision sign-up and any new information that the USDA has released.

Also on the program is Darrell McBee, extension educator ag/4-H in Harper County. McBee is very knowledgeable on applying farm program decisions regarding many of the different farm management situations represented in this area. This farm bill has major parts with many new acronyms – ARC (agriculture risk coverage), PLC (price loss coverage) and SCO (supplemental coverage option) – that producers will need to learn and understand to make informed decisions on farm bill implementation.

By Marione MartinAlva police have investigated

several non-injury vehicle collisions since the first of July. A police officer actually witnessed one that happened in front of the police department.

On Tuesday, July 8, about 2:26 p.m., two vehicles collided at Ninth and Flynn in Alva. Rylan Castleberry, 18, of Alva was driving a 2011 Chevrolet HHR east on Flynn and came to a stop at Ninth for a stop sign. Rachel Schaefer, 19, of Okarche was driving a 2001 Dodge behind Castleberry. Schaefer told investigating officer William Shahan that she looked down at the radio, looked back up and hit her brakes. Her vehicle started sliding and ran into the back of the Castleberry vehicle.

On Friday, July 11, at 6:23 p.m., Officer Shahan was standing

Recent non-injury collisions in Alvaoutside the police department when he saw a two-vehicle non-injury accident occur. Dawnita L. Smith, 49, of Burlington was in a 1995 Ford that was stopped on Fourth Street while the driver talked to another individual. Parked in front of the police department was Kendall B. Arganbright, 49, of Cherokee in a 2002 Toyota. Arganbright began to back up and struck the Smith vehicle in the passenger side door.

On Saturday, July 12, at 9:05 a.m., there was a collision between a car and a motorcycle on Oklahoma Boulevard (U.S. Highway 64) at Third Street. Cheyenne L. Colvin, 20, of Alva was driving a 2014 Chrysler east on Oklahoma Boulevard and stopped to turn north on Third. An unknown vehicle was traveling behind Colvin and moved into the outside lane to avoid hitting the Colvin vehicle. Behind

that unknown vehicle was a 2005 Harley Davidson motorcycle driven by Donald E. Lee, 43, of Alva. Lee was unable to safely change lanes. Lee locked his brakes and slid for 71 feet before striking the Colvin vehicle in the rear driver’s side. Officer Shahan investigated the non-injury collision.

On Saturday, July 12, at 7:25 p.m., Officer Shahan and K9 Officer Patrick Hawley were dispatched to a non-injury two-vehicle accident in front of the Rialto Movie Theatre in the 500 block of Flynn Street. Grant A. Taylor, 23, of Alva, driving a 2011 Jeep, was traveling east in the outside lane of Flynn. Ashley N. Strehl, 16, of Freedom, in a 2005 Hyundai, was traveling east in the inside lane and tried to turn right into a parking spot from the inside lane, striking the back driver’s side of the Taylor vehicle.

Annual contracts renewed by county commissioners

By Ryan NakashimaLOS ANGELES (AP) — Mic-

rosoft announced the biggest lay-offs in its 39-year history Thursday, outlining plans to cut 18,000 jobs

Microsoft CEO pivots sharply with 18,000 job cut

in a move that marked the CEO's sharpest pivot yet away from his predecessor's drive for the company to make its own devices.

Although some cuts had been

expected ever since Microsoft ac-quired Nokia's mobile-device unit, the number amounted to 14 percent of the Microsoft workforce — about twice what analysts had estimated.

The cuts will include some 12,500 jobs associated with the Nokia unit — nearly half of the 28,000 employees Microsoft brought on board in April through the acquisition.

When the cuts are complete, the company will still have about 10,000 more employees than before the Nokia acquisition, with an over-all headcount of 109,000.

In a public email to employees, CEO Satya Nadella said the chang-es were needed for the company to "become more agile and move fast-er." The move also pushes Nokia to focus solely on the Windows Phone operating system.

BASIC can’t be compared to a summer camp; it is meant to be a learning session but, even more, a fun leadership experience.Students from all across Oklahoma come to BASIC representing their school and council are given the opportunity to make many new friends and meet people from all over. Each delegate is split up from the students in their school and is assigned to a council. In this council they must work in unity with their peers to come up with

a name, a skit and various other things to portray a working council. Besides team building, getting to know other council members and listening to speakers, the delegates are given issues they must solve together. Whether it be responsibly allocating donations and income, making a plan to eradicate bullying in their school, boosting school spirit or simply learning how to best influence their peers, the delegates come away from the workshop with fresh ideas and a new take on what it means to be a leader.

group of college students will try to bring to life the history of one of the most notable Civil War bat-tles in Oklahoma on Saturday when ground is broken at the battle site for a new visitors center the state believes could bring in $9 million a year in tourist revenue.

The Battle of Honey Springs was the largest battle in what was then known as Indian Territory. On July 17, 1863, Native Ameri-cans fought as members of both the Union and Confederate armies at the site outside Checotah.

Now, students from the Univer-sity of Science and Arts of Oklaho-ma will be serving as tour guides at the historic landmark during a me-morial service marking the battle's 151st anniversary on Saturday.

The Battle at Honey Springs was the largest engagement of Union and Confederate troops in Indian Territory with about 9,000 troops. Native Americans fought on both sides while African-American troops fought for the Union Army, which won the battle. At least 150 men died in the battle.

The student tour guides are tak-ing a new class called Historical Interpretation that teaches them

how to share information about the historical importance of a particu-lar place to a large audience. The idea is to show students that there are other career paths for history majors, said James Finck, assis-tant professor of American History, who teaches the class.

"We're always looking to find new ways to get students who are interested in history to get jobs in different areas," he said, adding that traditionally, history majors get a high school teaching job or get their doctorate and teach at the college level. "A lot of them aren't interested in teaching. They love history. They want to do something with history, be a part of history."

The students conducted Nation-al Park Service training online and wrote papers examining different themes of the park, such as Confed-

erates in Indian Territory. Each stu-dent will then focus on that theme when they talk to the public, Finck said.

In 2013, the 1,100 acre site was designated a National Histor-ic Landmark. The site includes six walking trails and 55 interpretative signs.

Christopher Price, the Honey Springs Battlefield site director, said Saturday's service will also mark the groundbreaking on a new 5,000-square-foot visitor's center. A public-private partnership between the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture, the state of Oklahoma and pri-vate entities will help construct the $1 million center.

State officials earlier said they expect 150,000 visitors and $9 mil-lion in tourist revenue for the state each year.

By Sean MurphyOKLAHOMA CITY (AP) —

The drugs and procedures used to execute a death row inmate in a botched lethal injection in April do not risk violating the constitutional rights of other prisoners awaiting execution, attorneys for the state of Oklahoma argue.

In a response filed late Wednes-day in federal court in Oklahoma City, the attorney general's office also maintains the lawsuit filed on behalf of 21 death row inmates is premature and should be stayed since the state's execution proto-cols are currently under review and subject to change.

The inmates are seeking to halt any attempt to execute them us-ing the state's current lethal injec-tion protocols, which they allege present a risk of severe pain and suffering in violation of the U.S. Constitution. But the state said in its filing that all but the three death row plaintiffs currently scheduled to be executed — Charles Warner, Richard Glossip and John Grant —

Oklahoma: Inmates’ claimsin lawsuit proven false

should be dismissed from the case."While plaintiffs will eventual-

ly be executed, there is no certain, great, or actual threat that they will be executed under the same proto-col that currently exists," Assistant Attorneys General John Hadden and Aaron Stewart wrote.

The inmates' lawsuit followed the state's botched April 29 exe-cution of Clayton Lockett using a new three-drug method. Lockett writhed on the gurney, moaned and clenched his teeth for several minutes, and his execution was halted after a doctor determined there was a problem with a single IV in Lockett's groin. He was pro-nounced dead about 43 minutes after the execution began.

Gov. Mary Fallin has ordered an independent investigation into Lockett's botched execution, and prisons director Robert Patton has previously suggested Oklahoma's lethal injection protocols need to be revised. The investigation, which is being conducted by the Oklahoma Department of Public

Safety, is ongoing.Along with Patton, defendants

include Oklahoma State Peni-tentiary warden Anita Trammell, members of the Board of Correc-tions and the anonymous partici-pants in the execution — including the doctor inside the death cham-ber, the paramedic charged with inserting the IVs and the three executioners who administer the lethal drugs.

Attorneys for the state also asked the court to dismiss all of the defendants except for Patton and Trammell, saying the rest are "duplicative, irrelevant, and repet-itive."

The state denies it is violating the inmates' rights by refusing to disclose the source of the drugs.

The inmates' lawsuit says that Trammell and Patton inappro-priately closed the blinds during Lockett's execution to prevent wit-nesses from seeing the final min-utes of Lockett's execution. The state denied that and said the two "exercised their discretion."

By Roxana HegemanWICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A

19-year-old Kansas man accused in the deaths of his adoptive parents last year thought he would get an inheritance, a friend who is charged with helping kill the couple testified Thursday.

Branden Michael Smith, 19, took the witness stand as part of a plea deal in which he agreed to testify against his friend, Anthony Bluml; Bluml's biological mother, Kisha Schaberg, 35, of San Diego; and a former classmate, Andrew Wallace Ellington, 19. Smith waived his own preliminary hearing on capital murder and other charges and testi-fied. His co-defendants waived the remainder of the hearing after his testimony and the judge determined there was enough evidence for the cases to go to trial.

All four defendants are accused in the deaths of 48-year-old Rog-er Bluml and 53-year-old Melissa Bluml, who were shot in the head Nov. 15 at their home near Valley Center. Smith's testimony before a packed courtroom made public for the first time a possible motive for the killings.

Smith told the court Anthony Bluml moved in with him after his adoptive parents kicked him out of the house for using marijuana. Late last year, Smith and Bluml drove to

Witness: Friend killedparents for inheritance

San Diego so Bluml could recon-nect with his biological mother and they stayed with her for nearly two months.

When Smith decided to drive back to Wichita, Bluml came with him, as did his biological mother. The plan to kill the Blumls was first brought up in an Arizona motel room on the way back, he said.

Smith said Anthony Bluml told them, "If we kill my parents we can get will money," referring to an in-heritance he thought his adoptive parents would leave him. Smith ad-mitted that he later gave them the gun that was used in the shootings.

Defense attorneys, who present-ed no evidence at the hearing, fo-cused on small inconsistencies be-tween Smith's testimony and earlier police statements. Smith acknowl-edged that his heavy drug use may be responsible for some memory problems. The defense also tried to raise doubts about his credibility given his deal with prosecutors.

Smith said that in exchange for his testimony at any hearings and trial, prosecutors will reduce the charges against him to second-de-gree murder and recommend a sen-tence of 24½ years.

He recounted a conversation he had with Bluml and Schaberg during which Bluml told them his adoptive parents kept a "stash of

cash" in the house that they could steal. They decided that Bluml would draw his parents away from the house by taking them out to dinner when his younger brother was at a wrestling event. Schaberg would then go to the house to take the money and kill the couple when they returned, Smith said.

Smith said he didn't want to drive Schaberg to the house, so he suggested they could pay Ellington to help.

"I said I was scared, I didn't want to be the one to do it," Smith testified.

Ellington agreed to take Schaberg to the house for $1,000 so she could burglarize it, but Smith said he did not tell Ellington that she also planned to kill the couple, Smith said.

Smith said Schaberg later de-scribed the shootings to him, say-ing she and Ellington waited for them come home, then approached the couple before they got out of their truck.

He said Schaberg told him that Melissa Bluml started opening the truck's passenger door and ex-claimed, "Oh my gosh, Kisha," be-fore Schaberg shot her.

Roger Bluml apparently did not notice Schaberg as she went over to the driver's side door, Smith testi-fied. He was focused on his wife, saying, "Baby, baby. Are you all right?" before Schaberg shot him, Smith said.

Years Teaching: 28 and going strong!!!

What inspired you to become a teacher? I have wanted to teach since I was in 6th grade.

What is most challenging as a teacher and why? Those who make the laws for schools and teachers and have never taught a day in their lives.

What teaching moment is most memorable? The day when I pushed back from the desk and my chair slowly tipped over backwards. I got up and told the kids, “Now that I have your attention, turn to page 64 in your books” I had the attention of the entire class for the whole class period. They were waiting to see what else I might do that day to keep their attention. Did I do it on purpose? NO, even I’m not that crazy.

Regina Gayle Goodno, 41, of Alva was injured in a fatal crash with another vehicle just outside of Enid Wednesday, July 16. Goodno was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital in Enid where she was treated and released.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) said the collision occurred at 2:46 p.m. at Southgate Road and 30th Street just outside the city limits of Enid in Garfield County. Darlene Barton McDaniel, 53, of Waukomis was pronounced dead at St. Mary’s Hospital after being transported by Life EMS.

Alva woman injured in fatal collision

According to the OHP report, McDaniel was driving southbound on 30th Street and failed to stop at the stop sign while turning westbound onto Southgate Road. Goodno was westbound on Southgate Road and struck the other vehicle on the driver’s side, coming to rest in a field southwest of the intersection. Airbags deployed in both vehicles.

Trooper Coby Snyder investigated the scene, assisted by troopers Ken Jordan, Seth Wallace, Jimmy Chaloupek and Jason Burch. Also assisting were the Garfield County Sheriff’s Department and Enid Police Department.

Nadella is clearly backing away from former CEO Steve Ballmer's strategy of getting Microsoft to make its own smartphones and tab-lets.

"He's making a pretty serious game-changing strategy move away from hardware," said Michael Turits, managing director of equity research for financial services com-pany Raymond James & Associ-ates.

Nadella indicated that Micro-soft will largely abandon low-price Nokia Asha phones — which work on their own non-Windows operat-ing system — and reverse a strate-gically questionable move by Nokia in February to launch a line of phones called "X'' that supported ri-val Google Inc.'s Android platform.

"To win in the higher price tiers, we will focus on breakthrough in-novation that expresses and enliv-ens Microsoft's digital work and digital life experiences," Nadella said in the memo.

Some 1,350 Seattle-area work-ers around Microsoft's Redmond, Washington, headquarters were laid off Thursday, as were 1,800 work-ers in Hungary and nearly 370 in San Diego. The Nokia cuts include 1,100 jobs in Finland.

In addition, the company is clos-ing its Xbox Entertainment Studios, a 2-year-old venture based in Santa Monica, California, that produced original video content but was seen as separate from Microsoft's core business.

Microsoft Corp. expects charges of $1.1 billion to $1.6 billion over the next four quarters, largely for severance payments. The move puts the company on track to meet

the target it set in September, when it announced the Nokia purchase, of saving $600 million in annual costs within 18 months after the deal closed. Ballmer announced the Nokia deal a month after he said he was resigning.

FBR Capital Markets analyst Daniel Ives said the cuts were about double what Wall Street was ex-pecting.

"Microsoft needs to be a leaner and meaner technology giant over the coming years in order to strike the right balance of growth and profitability around its cloud and mobile endeavors," he said.

The move dwarfs Microsoft's previous biggest job cut, when it eliminated about 5,800 jobs in 2009. That was the company's first widespread layoff.

Microsoft has been shifting its focus from traditional PC software to cloud computing and cloud-based products like its Office 365 productivity software that can oper-ate on mobile devices.

With its $7.3 billion acquisition of Nokia's cellphone business, Mi-crosoft had sought to meld its soft-ware and hardware business into a cohesive package, similar to rival Apple.

But investors had lingering doubts about the strategy, especial-ly because the two brands' market share in smartphones and tablets was so far behind Apple and Sam-sung. According to the latest finan-cials, the Surface and Nokia device units are both losing money.

Nokia phones ran a wide array of operating systems that were not helpful to Microsoft's Windows brand. The Asha operating system,

for instance, lacked features like the ability to use mobile versions of Of-fice software or even GPS mapping.

Soon after the deal was an-nounced, Nokia's overall handset sales plunged 29 percent in the final quarter of last year, even as its high-end Lumia devices grew quickly.

The Nokia purchase "is not a deal that (Nadella) agreed upon or negotiated or perhaps really want-ed," said Scott Kessler, senior equi-ty analyst at S&P Capital IQ. "Sec-ondly, it seems that the market has changed pretty significantly over the last year ... pretty traumatic cuts seem probably somewhat appropri-ate at this point."

In a letter to employees, Exec-utive Vice President Stephen Elop said the company will drive sales of its Windows Phone by targeting the lower-price smartphone market with its Lumia devices.

A separate memo by a Micro-soft executive in India posted by the BGR website said the company will stop engaging with develop-ers on new apps for Nokia X, Asha and Series 40 phones, but maintain support for customers who own the phones.

In a blog post a week ago, Na-della hinted at the move, saying Mi-crosoft had to "change and evolve" its culture for the "mobile-first and cloud-first world."

Nadella planned to provide more details when Microsoft reports fis-cal 2014 results on Tuesday. He will also address staff Friday at a month-ly question-and-answer session.

Shares of Microsoft closed up 45 cents, or 1 percent, to $44.53 on Thursday. The stock is up about 19 percent since the start of the year.

Cedar Grove Wesleyan ChurchSunday, July 20: Pastor Harold

Henson and the entire Cedar Grove family desire to get to know you and your family when you join our loving and caring congregation of all ages, as we discover the truths

By Pastor Bob Brown, Alva Church of God

Every day, we are bombard-ed with things that influence our thinking and decisions. Often we are not even fully aware that we are seeing or hearing something. We may be busy with an activity or task to the extent that we do not realize subtle things that are entering our mind. We may think that we have tuned out the com-mercial on television or what is playing on the radio. Yet a while later we may be humming that tune.

What we see and hear does in-fluence our lives. Society, family, friends and work all give input to our thoughts. Good influences compete with unwholesome ones. Eventually something comes to mind that needs a choice. As we weigh a decision, we sort through the pros and cons that have influ-enced us.

The scripture says, “people are slaves to whatever has mas-tered them.” The very idea that we are slaves bothers us but something or someone has au-thority over areas of our lives. We may have given authority to an employer when we accepted a job. We have to live by company rules and we have to meet certain expectations. We are under their control.

Some areas of life are not quite so obvious. We may even delude ourselves into thinking that we are in complete control of our own situation. When it comes to moral and spiritual matters we are influenced to the right or to the wrong. We have to make decisions based on the guiding principles we have chosen for our lives. If we have chosen to serve God and live by His word we will make choices that are in keeping with His teachings. If we have

What influences you?chosen not to follow God’s way we will make choices according to our own desires and the influ-ences of the world around us.

The apostle Paul recognized this truth. In his letter to the Romans Paul urged them to be “slaves to righteousness” rather than slaves to sin. “Thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness” (Romans 6:17-18). Paul insisted that they were slaves to something but the choice was theirs as to what they would serve. He urged them to be “slaves” to righteousness.

Today the same choice is ours. We have the right to decide what will be the guiding influence for our lives. What will influence you?

By Kathleen LourdeHarpist Christian Bell, who has

played for some of America’s big-gest luminaries, will perform at First Presbyterian Church Sunday, July 20, at 2 p.m. The hour-long concert will be followed by refresh-ments.

Bell’s father, James, is a for-mer English chair at Northwestern Oklahoma State University who still lives in Alva with his wife, Kerri.

Bell’s love affair with the harp began 16 years ago when he was just eight years old and living with his family in rural Texas. That Christmas, his parents had decided to give the kids music lessons, and they could pick any instrument that they wanted to learn.

“Being young Texans,” said Bell, “both my sister and I wanted to take guitar, naturally. But that night on PBS I saw a harp concert, and something about the instrument drew me.”

It must have almost seemed fat-ed: the very next Sunday, a guest harpist from Lubbock performed at the family’s church.

When Bell said he wanted to learn to play the harp, his parents arranged for him to take lessons from the Lubbock harpist.

Harps are quite versatile, Bell

Acclaimed harpist Christian Bell toperform at First Presbyterian July 20

said, perhaps more so than most people realize. “The harp can pro-duce very unique sounds, and create a wide range of styles,” he said. But Bell most likes the harp’s “calming, relaxing nature,” he said. “To be honest, I don’t listen to that much harp music outside of my own playing, but just practicing is something that is very therapeutic. It may be this soft, ethereal sound that caused the association of harps with angels.”

Eventually, Bell found himself wanting to share the harp music with others.

“While living in Branson, Mo., I began playing for weddings, shows and in symphonies,” said Bell. “One big pro to being a harpist is there are not a lot of them running around out there, and gigs are usu-ally high paying – while the biggest con is the high cost of maintenance and transporting such a large in-strument.”

Over the years, Bell has per-formed for some high-profile peo-ple, including former president George W. Bush, Dave Ramsey, Sarah Palin and Tom Brokaw.

The public in general proba-bly sees the harp as an instrument played more often by women than men, which Bell doesn’t dispute, although he noted that in studying

the literature and history of harps he found that many of its most cel-ebrated composers and perform-ers were actually men. “But it is undeniable that most harpists are women. I am often met with sur-prise when people find out I play the harp.”

Skateboard MissionaryBut then Bell doesn’t appear

to concern himself too much with what society thinks he should or shouldn’t do. For the past year, he and his wife, Emily, have been what Rev. Judye Pistole of First Presbyterian Church referred to as “skateboard missionaries.”

“After my wife, Emily, and I married a little over a year ago we began working with an action sports ministry called Ride Nature in southern Florida,” Bell said. “The ministry uses skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing and many other action sports to reach youth all over the world with the truth of Jesus Christ.”

To further the mission’s goal of establishing local ministries and equipping churches to better reach local youth, the Bells rolled up their sleeves and put in some hard labor.

“We did everything from build-ing skate parks and holding surfing or skating contests to building wells and doing food outreach,” Bell said.

“I did not grow up skateboarding, and so it definitely stretched me to be learning all of these new action sports.”

Next Phase of Missionary Ca-reer: Panama

Soon, the Bells will be stretch-ing themselves again.

“Now Emily and I are headed to Paraiso, Panama, to teach at a Christian school,” Bell said. “Em-ily will teach fourth grade, and I will teach K-12 music. We are both excited to be using our passions in teaching. We will be living on a Christian mission base called Casa Paraiso, and helping with mission teams that come in.”

The Casa Paraiso ministry works to build relationships with pastors around that country and helping them meet the needs in their area. Bell said he’s especially looking forward to getting involved with a ministry called Casa Provi-dencia, which is Panama’s first spe-cial needs orphanage.

“Over the past year, working with Ride Nature (the action sports mission), the Lord has stretched us and grown us,” said Bell. “We have learned a lot about mission work, and Emily and I have really focused on working as a team and relying on one another. We know that moving to Panama will stretch

us even more, but together we are ready for this adventure!

“We don’t know if we’ll be in Panama a year or for the rest of our lives. No matter what we do, I know that music will be a part of it,” Bell said. “Whether it’s playing in a symphony and teaching, or just playing for pleasure, playing the harp will always be a part of what I do.”

The concert Sunday at First Presbyterian is free, but donations to help the Bells transition into their next phase of missionary work will be gladly accepted.
