Della Trotter turns 100 years old this month. She sits with family for a five-generation picture, consisting of (left to right) Della, granddaughter Donna beside her mother Janet Smith (Dellas daughter) who is holding Dellas great-great grand-daughter Olivia, and Jessica (who is Donnas daughter).
and was known for her homemade breads, noodles, bierox and kolaches (marmalade filled sweet bread). Trick-or-treaters knew they would get the best popcorn balls in town at the Trotters' home in Hardtner.
In 2005 Della and her husband Earl celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary and were the longest married couple in Hardtner at the time. The Trotters were named parade marshals of Hardtner's Fourth of July Parade that year and interviewed by this reporter. In that article about the Trotters, local Bob Sterling described Trotter as super immaculate and added, Her hair always looks perfect.
Besides mentioning that they never smoked or drank alcohol, the couple said they routinely drank a spoonful of vinegar in a glass of warm water each morning. Their daughter said she believes the fact that her parents ate out of their huge garden, ate healthfully and worked hard physically also contributed to their longevity.
Living over 90 years, Earl Trotter passed away Nov. 30, 2006. When asked about the loss of her beloved husband
for her on Sunday, Aug. 16, at Hardtner's Community Center starting at 2 p.m. and lasting until everyone has reminisced and celebrated sufficiently. Everyone is invited.
Trotter was a McCracken and grew up on a farm 15 miles north of Hardtner. She's made her home in Barber County, Kansas, all 100 years. She was the fifth-born child of eight. Trotter is the only survivor of her siblings and their spouses, except for her sister-in-law Ruth who was married to her brother Elmer.
When asked about her longevity, Trotter replied, I guess I am so mean the good Lord won't take me. To that statement, her daughter Janet Smith of Hardtner said everyone disagrees with that comment and said she's referred to as a prayer warrior by several.
It's due to the goodness of the Lord. I'm very blessed always been very healthy, Trotter said. I never smoked or drank. Her daughter said, Mom did everything in a run. She had to be done!
Many folks remember Trotter as their favorite cook at the Hardtner school where she spent 26 years from 1954 until 1980 when she retired. She routinely peeled 100 pounds of potatoes for one meal at school
By Yvonne MillerWearing a cool summer pink and
white tiny check dress, and with white hair as silky as her skin, the petite Della Trotter looks like she could have five grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter. But does she look like she's turning 100 years old this month? No way.

accidentally left off the list since he had submitted his retirement letter. Everyone had expected him to work in July, which he did. This action allows him to be paid.
Student handbooks for the elementa-ry, middle school, and high school levels were approved.
The board made minor changes in the extra duty salary schedule and the extra duty assignment lists. (The news-paper published those lists without the minor changes last month.)
The board once again approved an agreement with the City of Alva for an on-site police officer. He will rotate among the five school sites. Elizabeth Parkhurst once again was hired to pro-vide physical therapy services for the upcoming school year. Brooke Meyer was once again employed as an adjunct instructor of anatomy and physiology for this school year.
Agreements were approved with Northwest Technology Center to accept credits in math, English and science taught at that site for Alva High School. A second agreement is to continue the technology education relationship that has existed for decades.
The board was a bit frustrated that they received only one milk bid and one bread bid. That is not unusual, but the specifications called for a fixed price to be quoted and neither bidder agreed to do that. So the board concluded they were over a barrel and accepted the bids as presented with possible escala-tion or reduction points throughout the
By Lynn L. MartinConstruction of the new Alva High
School (AHS) indoor practice facility can get underway now that some of the red iron has been delivered, Alva Public Schools Superintendent Steve Parkhurst said. He said all materials will be deliv-ered to the southwest corner of the stu-dent high school parking lot. That way, if the loading and unloading of construc-tion materials damages the parking lot, the damaged area will be small, making repair easier.
In his report, the superintendent said a record number of new employees had been hired. He mentioned 10 new cer-tified teachers and nine non-certified teachers. The latest to be hired was Terry G. Chapman, a former schools superin-tendent for Cherokee and Timberlake. Chapman has retired from those jobs and now would like to get back to teach-ing kids. He will be teaching PE at Lin-coln and sports at Alva Middle School.
The same bus drivers as last year were rehired. They are Stephen B. Gale, Jeffrey P. Levetzow, Scott A. Baugh, Mallory D. Seevers and Charles H. Mill-er.
The following non-certified people were employed: Vicki M. Schlarb, Cin-dy M. Shafer, Nicole Nusser, Jill Trout, Kim V. Bowling, A. Janette Seevers, Jennifer L. Appleton, Kassandra D. Yauk and Lillie A. Fink.

78th annual FreedomRodeo and Old Cowhand Reunion
Its that time of year again when the little town of Freedom swells to about 25 times its normal size. The Freedom Rodeo and Old Cowhand Reunion unfolds this year with a PRCA pro-rodeo Aug. 13-15. The three-day event combines a unique blend of professional rodeo action with hometown color, style and genuine hospitality that has been recognized as one of Oklahomas Outstanding Events of the Year.
The show includes all of the major rodeo events and because of its humble beginning as a junior rodeo, two junior events are traditionally added. A dance is held nightly and features some of the best country musicians around to insure a foot stompin' good time. Saturday features a free chuck wagon style dinner at noon, a fine western art and country crafts show as well as the Great Freedom Bank Robbery and Shoot-Out.
Longtime Freedom resident, rancher and cowboy Russell Bradt is this year's Honored Old Cowhand.
The Freedom Chamber of Commerce welcomes everyone to Freedom for real rodeo at its best during the 78th annual performance of The Freedom Rodeo and Old Cowhand Reunion.

Davis will be 2:30 p.m. Friday, August 7, 2015, at the Alva First Baptist Church with Pastor Mike Taylor officiating. Interment will be in the Alva Municipal Cemetery under the direction of Marshall Funeral Home of Alva.
I have gone home to heaven to be with my Savior, Jesus Christ, on this August 2nd, 2015. I decided I wanted to write my own obituary before this glorious day to help my family at this difficult time.
I was born in Dacoma, Oklahoma, September 1, 1922, to my parents, Ernest and Pearl Walderich. My sister, Lois, was anxiously awaiting my arrival. I grew up in Dacoma, where I attended all 12 years of school, graduating in 1940. I then attended Northwestern Oklahoma State College in Alva for a semester where I was active in the music department. I married my high school love, Rex Davis, November 26, 1941, and moved to the farm near Dacoma to begin our life together. We were married almost 59 years before his death in 2000.
The biggest and happiest event Rex and I ever experienced was the birth of our precious daughter, Janice Deanne. We lived on the farm all of her growing up years. We were blessed with our daughter all of our lives. She always wanted to do things to make our lives happy, and she always did just that.
I worked at Central National Bank for many years. I was blessed with co-workers who also became my good friends. I tried always to help all of the people who came to me as customers, and I especially enjoyed visiting with

of funds at the end of the project. Be-cause of the traffic congestion around the elementary school when parents are dropping off and picking up their children, the school has expressed a desire for a more strategic entrance and exit element. The construction company is doing what they can to save a little money here and there so that it will be able to be done at the end of the project.
Most of the underground, earth-work and underground piping of the football field is done. As of Saturday, Aug. 1, they started the foundation for the bleachers. They received the goal posts last week.
All the sports and track equipment is in and has been put in storage. As the track curve is completed, they will start putting that equipment in as well. Their focus is the football field. They have been working closely with the coaches to understand what the most important priorities are.
While construction is going on they are going to move their fences so that the students are able to use the weight-lifting facility during school season. As of right now, the entire area is blocked and fenced off.
Punch ListThe construction crew did their
punch walk at the elementary school. That is where they walk through with the architect and mark or blue tape any area where the walls are scratched and will need touch up or any corrections that need to be made before the project is turned over. There is some work be-tween the school and the gymnasium that needs to be approved by the fire marshal. The architect, James Barker, has approved the work. Now a time can be scheduled, hopefully by the end of the week, for the fire marshal to come through and make his inspection.
There is some concern about where to lay construction materials on the parking lot. Superintendent Anderson said that she and Coach Hutchison have discussed what to do about this situation, but nothing has been set in
Because progress is at the mercy of material deliveries and the wetter than usual weather, the construction company doesn't want to say for sure when they will have it done. They have promised Anderson that over the next three weeks, as they get confirmed dates for deliveries, they will be able to update her as to a likely completion date.
Project Manager Hudson stated that the primary activity in Phase One right now is the curve around the track. The inner curve has been completed. The reason for that goal is they need to lay the asphalt down to start curing before it can receive the track surface. Once the asphalt goes down, it takes 20 days to cure it. The construction company hopes it can work on completing oth-er parts of the project as the asphalt cures. Anderson has just planned not to be on it at all for the 20 days.
After the curves are done, and the gravel and asphalt deliveries sched-uled, they will start importing the rock that goes beneath the AstroTurf.
Hudson said This project is very nice. The money has been well spent and that AstroTurf is as good as OSU's practice facility.
They have already moved their earthwork into Phase Two over by the elementary school and also into phases three, four and five. There is a possibil-ity of an entrance road on the east side to allow people to exit the elementary school. It is pending the availability
By Desiree MalicoatA full house at the Cherokee Board
of Education meeting greeted mem-bers Kory Littlefield, Amber Wilhite and Tony Hellar. Superintendent Don-na Anderson introduced the contrac-tors present: James Barker, TriArch, achitects; Randy Nance, manager of Crossland Construction of Oklahoma City; Mark Henry, superintendent; and Zach Hudson, project manager.
The project was defined in five phases. Phase One is the football field with a goal of finishing it up for the Oct. 21 football game. The season will start using the Northwestern Oklaho-ma State University (NWOSU) foot-ball field in Alva. Superintendent An-derson, Coach Bryce Schanbacher and Assistant Coach George Weve have been in contact with NWOSU, and the university has been very welcoming.
At least two games will played on the college field. The first game will be against Buffalo on a Friday, and the second game against Waynoka on a Thursday. NWOSU has also stated that Cherokee is more than welcome to use the field more if needed.
Coach Weve has rescheduled all the junior high football games with the other schools and asked them to allow Cherokee to visit them instead of com-ing to Cherokee. Superintendent An-derson stated We feel at this point we have it covered until about the first of October, and then we'll go from there.

By Stacy Sanborn All Waynoka school board
members were present Monday night for the last summer meeting.
Members first approved the purchase of a new activity bus (through the state bidding process) for $148,224.
Superintendent Loren Tackett said the bus is white and after it arrives in September it will be sent to Tulsa to have the graphic wrap applied. That process should take about a week.
In the consent agenda, Tackett said carryover is up a bit, and gross production is higher than it was last year, though it is about half of what the school received the last two months of the year.
Members approved the consent agenda and Tackett began his report. He said the carpet has finally been installed, the cement work completed, and new ovens purchased and installed.
All the school buses will be inspected by this week, and the bleachers will be moved this weekend. He said everything has been painted and the plumbing is supposed to be taken care of this week too.
In the principal's report, Michael Meriwether said the old merry-go-round has been pulled out so the new one can be put in. Enrollment numbers are about 250, give or take a few. That number is smaller than last year's.
Moving quickly through the agenda, members approved the following items:

She remembers her parents taking a lumber wagon of wheat to Kiowa with their mules Beck and Alice pulling the wagon. Eventually, My dad had a Model T Ford, Trotter said. Did the kids get to go into town much? Lands, no, she replied.
She and her siblings attended the Canema rural school through eighth grade. She fondly told about games the siblings played together like hide-n-seek, steal sticks, and fox and geese (when it snowed). With a sweet grin Trotter showed how she would rock a chicken to sleep, and then turning pure ornery she told how she threw that bird off the roof of the hen house.
In those early days, she said Hardtner's grocery store was split with groceries on one side and dry goods on the other. The old Charlie and Nellie Achenbach owned the store, Trotter said.
Trotter said once she was an adult and looked back on her childhood, I realize we were poor. But we had all we wanted to eat, clothes on our back, a roof over our head and parents who loved us. Her family attended the Union Chapel Church.
Mom has always been a positive person, Janet said. She's had some hard times, but always got through it and had a smile on her face.
childhood her brothers helped their dad outside and the girls helped their mom inside the house. However, the girls did help their dad milk cows. Dad could not milk because he had no grip.
We washed lots of dishes, Trotter said twice during the interview. They heated water in a tea kettle on their cast iron Monarch wood-burning stove for their dish water.
Getting the water to do those dishes or to drink, cook with or bathe in was not so simple. They had a cistern that held water underground. If the water got low, we had to take buckets out to the windmill and carry water back to the cistern, she said.
Washday also required heating water on the stove. As if holding a washboard, Trotter made the up and down fast scrubbing motion required to get clothes clean. Of course with no running water, going to the outhouse was just a way of life.
When the kids needed shoes, Trotter said her mom had them stand on a piece of paper and she traced around their foot to determine size. Then when Mom and Dad journeyed to town for supplies, they purchased shoes one size bigger than the child's foot measured.
during an interview Monday, tears welled in Trotter's eyes. She still remembers meeting him when she was a schoolteacher at the Driftwood Country School when she taught two of his brothers. I remember Earl proposing to me on January 29 in Roy's car.
Trotter graduated from Medicine Lodge High School in 1933. She and Earl married in 1936, the same year he graduated from Hardtner High School. They had Janet and Ethan and raised them on a farm 11 miles northwest of Hardtner where they had Brahma bulls, milk cows, chickens and huge gardens. She credited her husband for being the gardener.
When asked how she raised her children, Trotter replied simply, One day at a time. We didn't have Dr. Spock. If we had a problem, we just asked Grandma.
Remembering the days of party line telephones, Trotter recalls telling a friend during a phone call that Earl asked her to bake him cornbread and she didn't have a recipe. The next day she received a postcard in the mail with another neighbor's cornbread recipe written on it. I still have it, she said.

Hudson said Me and James (the architect) spoke about the whole time putting the money where the school and the town wanted it: it's in field, it's in the press box and it's in the lighting system.
Architect Barker spoke about the new concession stand area. Originally they were going to tear down the re-strooms off the field house. The new plans show the field house staying where it is and building a parking lot all the way around it. They plan to pol-

In a previous meeting they decided to erect two new buildings that would take up the function of concessions, public restrooms and two new locker rooms facilities. The locker rooms are not set in stone as to who they will be for due to having both boys and girls sports. The discussion was brought up asking if there will be a girls locker room because of softball season.
James stated it's up to the school what they want to use the locker rooms as. The new restrooms are up to cur-rent code. The minimum plumbing fa-cilities would have accommodated 861 people, which is what the original plan was for the stadium. That number has been scaled down to 816 people, but they went ahead and kept the plan the same for the restrooms. There will 11 new water closets for women and six for men, and four new lavatories for women and three for men. The reason for the difference is modern code rec-ognizes that women need more facili-ties than men.

She's so smart in all areas and really caring. Recalling when she taught at the elementary a short time, Rector said, I've always admired her. She was such a good mentor when I taught there. She complimented Thompson for having lots of school spirit for the entire school.
Thompson said she had three R rules for students in her classroom: be Responsible; be Respectful; be Ready.
It's all about expectations, the students knowing what I expect, Thompson said. When asked the biggest change she's seen in students over the 30 plus year span, she replied, In the early days, students came in and sat right down in their seats. Kids now are much more lax. She said social media has totally transformed students and
By Yvonne MillerAfter 37 years in
education, 34 of which were at South Barber Elementary School in Kiowa, Kansas, Jane Thompson decided it was time to step down and open a position for a younger teacher who loves using the latest technology.
My fourth graders want to google everything, she said, totally understanding and supportive because that is the world in which everyone now lives. Her classroom was technology ready. Students had access to Chromebooks and iPads. She used a Promethean Board, which provides interactive technological learning for students in the classroom.
I used it all (technological tools), Thompson said, but admitted it was a struggle for her at times.
After all, this is a woman who graduated from NWOSU and taught first grade at South Barber for 30 years in the same classroom. The last three years, she taught fourth grade, one door down from the first grade room.
Melissa Rector is the mother of Sterling and Easton who both had Thompson as first and fourth graders. Easton was in her last class. She was one of their toughest teachers, Rector said. She held them to high standards and she made them want to work for her. The kids had so much fun in her classroom. She did many hands-on projects that the kids really liked.
Mrs. Thompson did a good job to meet kids where they were individually.

From Page 34 Thompsonknew the first rule in teaching: truly love those kiddos.
Thompson remembers those early days of teaching at the elementary school when the same group of teachers taught together for years.
That's what made our job so much fun. We were all there for each other. We went through lots of things births and deaths. We were just like family. Many of us are still friends and still go out together to eat on Thursday nights, she said.
That group was all there for Jane Thompson as Monty Thompson battled cancer and finally succumbed to the disease in November of 2008. In his memory, the Monty Thompson Education Foundation was born. The money goes for teacher and classroom projects.
Monty wanted the teachers to be able to teach, Thompson said. Monty and I love this community, this school it's been our life. Regarding the foundation, she said, It's great to help kids and teachers.
Each year the Thompson Foundation has a golf tournament to generate more funds for the foundation as Monty Thompson was a dedicated golfer. The tournament is coming up at the Anthony Golf Course Aug. 15.
The Thompson's daughters and families take an active part in the tournament. They are Christy and Todd Hackleman of Mulvane, Kansas, with their children Reed, age 7 and Tatum, age 3; and Audrey and Chad Pore of Greensburg, Kansas, and their twins Caydan and Connor, age 11, and Cresten, age 7.
Of her choice to retire, Jane Thompson said, I feel like I've made the right decision. But I'll always be a teacher. She's already discussing with Principal Cantrell about coming into the school to help students improve their reading skills.
A native of West Virginia, Jane visited Capron most summers as her dad was originally from there. There she met Monty Thompson as a young teenager. Even when apart, they kept in touch with letters. Eventually they could live apart no more and married January 1, 1972. She finished her college degree at Northwestern in Alva.
The Thompsons first entered education in the Nashville-Zenda (Kansas)School District and then in that of South Haven (Kansas). She taught Title I and kindergarten. When they moved back to Capron, Monty Thompson took a job as South Barber's sixth grade coach and taught middle school social studies and science in 1980-81. Jane Thompson stayed home with their second baby Audrey. Monty Thompson moved to the high school and was eventually a longtime principal at the middle and high school. Jane Thompson taught sixth grade one year.
Then-Superintendent Paul Nelson hired Jane as the first grade teacher and you know the rest of the story. She worked under superintendents Nelson, Glen Piper, David Bailey, Bob Hightree and Brad Morris. Some of those superintendents acted as elementary principals. Juanita Smith was principal a while. Her other principal has been Marcia Cantrell who was a classroom teacher with Thompson many years.
Principal Cantrell said, Jane Thompson is one of the most dedicated educators I know. She sees potential in all students and helps them to believe in themselves. Her classroom was inviting and very student oriented with many projects going on (sometimes at the same time). Her students would come to her with questions knowing she would guide them to the answers but not give them the answer. She believed her students could do anything they set their minds to. Jane made learning fun. She
everyone, adults included, want immediate results.
Because of technological advances, students expect to be entertained so she puts a fun activity in with a lesson.
When asked about students' demeanor, Thompson said, Very rarely did I see an attitude issue from a first grader.
Through the years, one of Thompson's favorite activities she did with her students was the annual Reading Rodeo at John Miller's arena where Miller and some of his other cowboy friends entertained the youngsters with cowboy lore and showmanship. Another was Grandparents Week when she had students invite their grandparents in to the classroom to share stories about their school days. Thompson said that became strange for her when some of the grandparents were younger than her!
I'm big on the Accelerated Reader (AR) program that gives incentives for kids to read, Thompson said. This past year she revived the end-of-school sleepover for fourth, fifth and sixth graders. Students had to reach their AR goal every nine weeks to qualify for this fun treat.
When Thompson began teaching in Kiowa 34 years ago, the elementary school had two sections for each grade nearly 20 students per section. This past school year she had an exceptionally small class with seven students, but that is not the norm. The incoming fourth grade class for this fall has 21 students, she said.

the children whom I spoiled with gum and candy. I have always been a people person, and God blessed me with many friends.
Another big event and blessing in my life was becoming a grandmother to my two grandchildren, Johnny Rex and Tammy Michele Buckles. They were my pride and joy, and we had many great times together. I know and admit I was a silly Grammy, and I never ever wanted to get over that. Thank you, Janice and Bill, for giving them to me. I had four adorable, sweet great grandchildren, Amanda Pearl and Haley Michele Daniels and Annie Grace and Johnny Rex Buckles, Jr. (Rex). They were a great joy to me. Lois Sense was my very special sister. I was truly blessed with a great family that I loved dearly.
A big part of my life was devoted to music. I sang all of my life for those who wanted and asked me to. God gave me what talent I had so I could serve Him by helping others in time of sorrow or on joyous and special occasions.
I was a member of and served in First Baptist Church for many years. I sang in our church choir over 30 years.

On August 21, 1950, he was married to Patricia Ann Phillips from Wewoka, Oklahoma. To this lifetime union, two children were born: daughters Kay Lou and Terry Ann.
At NWOSU he was a dean of students; the director of the division of education, psychology and physical education; a professor of psychology and education from 1967 to 1990; and part time for a few years after retirement. He was a member of Phi Delta Kappa, Delta Chi, Lions Club and Elk's Club, and was listed in Whos Who in Americans in Science. He received a NWOSU alumni award for outstanding teacher, and was commissioned as an honorary lieutenant colonial by the ROTC.
Charles was a zealous golfer and in 1994, he went to a golf club making school in Austin, Texas. He delighted in fitting a golfer to customized golf clubs. He took great pride in showing off his six hole-in-one trophies. He participated in the Alva Country Club Board and later became its president.
He also took up his trumpet again after a 46 year layoff and played with the NWOSU concert band, Alva Community Summer band, Enid-NOC concert band and jazz band. He took pride in being the oldest marcher in the OU Alumni band at homecoming. Occasionally he would play solos in his church where he also sang bass in the choir. He served the First Christian Church as an elder, and member of the church board. His biggest joy was being with family, the family Christmas band, family outings in Enid and Wichita, Kansas, making golf clubs for the family and playing with his grandsons were highlights of a busy life.
He was preceded in death by his parents and three brothers, Leonard, Thurman and Harold.
He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Pat; his daughters Kay and her husband Larry Kiner (Enid), and Terry and her and husband David Steele (Wichita); four grandsons and their spouses, Kyle and Jennie Kiner, Greg and Callie Kiner, Bryan and Abbie Steele, and Mike Steele; five great grandchildren, Anna, Caleb, Noah and Lucy Kiner, Xander and Juliet Stee
