Town board tackles several issues
The Town of Beaver’s Board of Trustees tackled several issues during their
regular monthly meeting on June 13.
Mayor Mike Ford called the meeting to order at 6 p.m. Those present were: Ford,
David Glascock, Chris Berry and Mary Sallee. Bobby Mosburg was absent. Others
present were City Manager Don Jenkins and Town Clerk Barbara Chockley.
Among the items was the issue of junk cars in the city limits of Beaver. Town
officials estimate there are about 110 “junk” cars in the town. Action will soon
be taken to rid the town of these nuisances, Mayor Mike Ford stated.
“The Town of Beaver will be enforcing the ordinances against junk cars,” Ford
said. “We’ve had a lot of comments from people who have junk cars and unkept
properties in their neighborhoods. They look bad and effect property values.
“We are giving those in violation an opportunity to clean these matters up. We
will be taking action against those who don’t see the need to clean up. The laws
are on the books, and we have decided it is time to enforce them.”
The Board also renewed the contract with the Department of Corrections for the
Beaver Work Center for another year. The contact is renewed on a yearly basis.
“The work center has provided the Town of Beaver and other government entities
labor that we cannot afford to hire because of revenue shortfalls,” Ford said.
The town board will also use some of its REAP grant money - $14,000 - to help
with the waterline extension south of Beaver.
“We want our customers south of town to have better service, and we have new
customers waiting on us,” Ford said. “And the Town of Beaver is in the business
of selling water. On top of that, I think this water line will help the area
south of Beaver to develop.”
In other action, the Board:
Voted to apply the interest credit, other premium credit and escrow credit to
the participation fee in the OMAG Worker’s Compensation Plan.
Approved a motion to begin the process to vacate the street that runs run the
old court house square (Bud Strong Estate) and establish the street as an alley.
Appointed Don Jenkins for another 3-year term to the OEDA.
Clarified the gas costs at the airport. The cost to local fliers is an addition
20 cents per gallon above cost, and for out of town fliers it is 50 cents per
gallon over cost.
Voted to allow David Welch a 9-foot waiver on the public easement in Block 120,
lots 11 and 12 of the Original Town of Beaver to construct a building.
Approved claims and purchase orders in the following amounts: $32,295.99 from
the General Fund; $20,109.91 from the Cash Utility Fund; $2,614.62 from the Bus
Transit Fund; $1,721.16 from the Airport Fund; $2,917.50 from the Summer
Recreation Fund and $92.21 from the DOC Fund.
Public Works
In the Public Works portion of the meeting, the Board:
Approved claims and purchase orders in the amount of $37,313.15 from the PWA
Operating Fund.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:03 p.m.
Newspaper's look will change in July
In mid-July (hopefully), The Herald-Democrat will have a slightly different
look thanks to the installation of a new press at the Beaver County newspaper’s
production site in Liberal, KS.
Officials at the Southwest Daily Times have announced dramatic changes that will
change everything from the neatness in the pressroom to the design of the papers
they print as well.
Currently, the Times has a five-unit press that is capable of printing color on
the front and back pages. In mid-July, a new Goss Community press will take over
production of the Times - along with the many smaller newspapers printed in the
facility.
“The new press will be capable of producing a full color paper,” Times publisher
Earl Watt said. “Color from front to back will make The Herald-Democrat one of
the first weekly newspapers in Oklahoma to offer such a product.”
“What we are going to do is basically double what we have now,” Watt added. “We
are going to have 10 units. Now, they are organized differently. These 10 units,
four and four are stacked, are what they call four-high. When those eight units
are stacked like that, they are able to print full color on four pages each. We
can do eight pages of full colors in one shot.”
The current press at the Times has been in operation since the mid 1980s.
Readers of The Herald-Democrat have noticed a decline in the paper’s quality
over the past two years. That is because of the age of the press, which has
printed more than a billion pages.
The efficiency of the new press will dramatically change the production of The
Herald-Democrat. Sending pages to the press will go from a two-hour process to a
20-minute process. Ink settings and registrations will be perfectly in line with
the automated system the new press will offer.
“Instead of eye-balling things to make sure they are right, it will be done with
a laser,” Watt said. “The laser will etch the plate and it will be dead on.”
The Herald-Democrat has been in continuous publication for 120 years. The paper
has been in the Lansden family since 1944 with three generations of publishers
starting with the late Willis Lansden, then Joe and Brent Lansden.
“We are excited about this new change,” Brent Lansden said. “This is for our
readers and advertisers, who will finally get a much better product. Our
newspaper belongs to the residents of Beaver County!”
14 file for political offices
Fourteen Beaver County residents filed for political office last week as the
deadline ended at 5 p.m. on June 7.
Positions are up for grabs in several county offices, including Assessor,
Treasurer, County Commissioner (District 1 and District 3) and Sheriff.
The race for Assessor and District 1 Commissioner will not end until the General
Election as candidates from both parties made declarations.
Incumbent Assessor Maxine Elston, a Democrat, filed for the office as did
Republicans Dayla Sue Pugh, Terry Boston and Kelly Cramer, according to a
release issued from the Beaver County Election Board.
In the Commissioner race in District 1, Democrat Curtis Laverty filed for the
office along with Republicans Del Roy Spurgeon, Brad Raven and Hank Barth.
Two of the races will be decided long before November in either the Primary
(July 25) or the runoff on August 22.
Three Republicans filed for the Treasurer’s position, including Mechille Pester,
Deanna Clower and Kerry Stafford.
For the Sheriff’s race - an unexpired 2-year term - Reuben Parker, Jr. and Frank
King, both Republicans, each filed. Parker was appointed to the position after
the death of longtime Sheriff Bill Cassingham.
The only position that won’t have a race is for County Commissioner in District
3. Republican incumbent Richard L. Cowan was the only candidate to file.
The Primary Election is slated for July 25, 2006 with the runoff scheduled
August 22, 2006. The General Election is scheduled for November 7, 2006.
Many other state and federal races developed as well for Beaver County voters.
Knowles Alumni
The Knowles Alumni met May 28 with 91 guests registered.
The lunch was catered by Karen Richardson who prepared a meal of barbecued ham
and beef with coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans, salad, mixed fruit and
cobblers.
A brief business meeting and election of officers was held. Larry Lawson is the
new president. Don Jones is vice president and Marian Long is secretary. Betty
Shepherd conducted the meeting in absence of president Reg Poorbaugh. The
Poorbaugh Scholarship was awarded to Echo Williams, grand daughter of Lyla Kite
Southern.

Oklahoma City man stopped in county after high speed chase
An Oklahoma City man is in the Beaver County Jail after leading law
enforcement officials on a high speed chase early Sunday morning.
John Vahey, 46, of Oklahoma City is being held on a $100,000 bond after he
failed to stop for Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper Dustin McAtee one mile west
of Rosston on U.S. Highway 64.
Vahey increased his speed when McAtee attempted to pull him over. He drove
recklessly through Beaver County and even ran a roadblock, an OHP spokesman said
Tuesday morning.
He was successfully stopped by the OHP by a tactical vehicle intervention at
12:54 a.m. about six miles east of Forgan.
Vahey was taken into custody without incident and placed in the Beaver County
Jail. His first court appearance was scheduled for June 7, a spokesman for the
Beaver County Sheriff’s Department said.
Wellness center receives gift of land
For the Beaver River Wellness Center to become a reality, it will take large
donations - like the land gift given by Fred and Dorothy Mitchell and Ben
Mitchell.
The Mitchell brothers, who are descendants of Herndon and Clara Mitchell,
donated 10 acres of their land, which is located south of the Beaver Public
School athletic complex.
Fred Mitchell, and his wife Dorothy, currently live in Missouri, while Ben
resides in California.
“After our primary option fell through, we discussed other properties in the
area. After many hours of research, we found this property to be owned by the
Mitchell family,” Beaver River Wellness Corporation President Scott Richerson
said. “We then contacted them and they told us the property was not for sale.
However, after hearing our proposed plan they were interested in donating the
property for the project.”
Soon afterwards, the legal paperwork was drawn up and in just a couple of months
the land belonged to the Beaver River Wellness Corporation.
Benjamin Mitchell, according to the Beaver County History book, was born in
1911, while Frederick was born in 1917. Their father, Herndon, purchased 120
acres adjoining Beaver City on the southwest in 1929, and the family moved to
town. They kept their land in the country, which had accumulated to 400 acres.
Ben went to California after graduation from high school to pursue a career in
merchandising. Fred married Dorothy Shively and moved to Arkansas and later to
Mansfield, Missouri, where he now lives.
Clara died in 1942 and Herndon in 1950. They both are buried in the Beaver
Pioneer Cemetery.
Contact Information If anyone would like to make further donations, they are
certainly welcome by contacting any of the Beaver River Wellness Corporation
Board of Directors. They are:
Richerson, 625-4530; Kerry Stafford, 625-3693; Alissa Schlessman, 625-4551; Bill
Greenfield, 625-4499; Susan Trippet, 625-3477; Richard Radcliff, 487-3563; Brent
Meyers, 625-4551; Gregg Weber, 625-4511; Stephanie Jett, 837-5414.

Fireman accepting donations
The Beaver Fire Department is now accepting donations for its Fourth of July
fireworks show, according to chief James Pratt.
Anyone wishing to give to the annual show may contact Pratt at 806-339-4739
(cellular) or 625-4402 (work).
Firemen plan to have the show on Tuesday, July 4.
Pratt also noted that the firemen hope to open their fireworks booth this
summer, pending the implementation of a burn ban.
Upcoming City Board meeting discussing many issues
Beaver City Manager Don Jenkins has announced that the Board of Trustees will
be discussing many code and ordinance violation issues at the group’s next
meeting on Tuesday, June 6.
The issues include: unconfined dogs, junk vehicles, abandoned vehicles, untagged
vehicles, unkept properties, unkept rental properties and trailers being parked
on the streets in residential areas.
“If you have interest in any of these issues, please attend this meeting and
voice your opinion,” Jenkins said. “The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. at the City
Hall Annex.”Jenkins also said that the Town of Beaver’s Board of Trustees will
begin discussing the possibility of a downtown sidewalk and curb and gutter
project. Financing on the town’s part will have to come partly from the store
owners and other interested citizens, Jenkins said.
“The project is under the Department of Transportation’s Highway Enhancement
Program,” Jenkins noted. “The 4-year funding cycle begins in May and ends in
October. There has been interest in this area before without the grant program.”
Citizens are urged to contact City Hall if they have any questions regarding the
issues. The phone number is 625-3331.

Bird Flu Movie Prompts State Health and
Agriculture Concerns
Officials at the Oklahoma State Department of Health and the Department of
Agriculture, Food and Forestry expressed concern today about an upcoming
made-for-television network movie on bird flu in America. The movie, which is a
work of fiction, not a documentary, follows an outbreak of the H5N1 avian flu
virus from its origins in a Hong Kong market to its mutation as a pandemic virus
that is spread from person to person around the world.
”While the movie may be helpful in raising awareness about avian and pandemic
influenza, we hope it will inspire preparation and not panic,” said State Health
Commissioner Dr. Michael Crutcher. “We want to remind Oklahomans that there is
no influenza pandemic anywhere in the world at this time.”
Crutcher said that the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus has not been
identified in North America, but it is possible that migratory birds infected
with the virus will be found on the continent in the coming months. “Even so,
this will not signal the start of a human pandemic,” he emphasized. “Avian
influenza, or bird flu, is not the same thing as pandemic flu. The H5N1 bird flu
virus would have to mutate, or change its form, to become a pandemic flu virus
and although this could happen, we don’t know for certain that it will happen.”
“This is both an animal issue as well as a public health issue,” said State
Agricultural Commissioner Terry Peach. “Even if avian flu is detected in wild
birds, it does not mean the virus will reach commercial poultry operations or
affect human health. Our department and the poultry industry have active
biosecurity and surveillance programs to protect both commercial and backyard
flocks.”
While the H5N1 virus has not yet appeared in the United States and an influenza
pandemic is not considered imminent at this time, Crutcher recommends that all
Oklahomans become informed about pandemic influenza and begin now to plan
accordingly. There are several steps that individuals, families and communities
can take to prepare, like keeping a supply of food and medicines on hand and
practicing good public health measures like frequent hand washing and staying
home when sick.
To learn more about how to prepare for pandemic influenza, check out these Web
sites: www.pandemicflu.gov or www.health.ok.gov. For more information about
avian influenza, visit www.usda.gov or www.okgov/~okag/.
LUCAS VOTES TO PROSECUTE GASOLINE PRICE
GOUGING, EXPAND OIL REFINING
House Passes Two Bills To Deal With Gas Prices
U.S. Third District Congressman Frank Lucas voted today to help expand U.S.
refining capacity to remove the bottleneck that is precipitating the high price
of gasoline. He also voted today to increase the penalties for those that engage
in gasoline price gouging.
“Gas prices are outrageous. They’re hitting the pocketbooks of Oklahomans and
putting a drag on an otherwise strong economy,” Lucas said. “While market forces
have the largest hand in this rise in prices, we need to ensure that the
inaction of federal bureaucrats doesn’t stand in the way of the construction of
new refineries so that the refinery bottleneck can be alleviated.”
The refinery legislation will establish a federal coordinator to convene all the
players in U.S. government agencies responsible for issuing permits to develop a
facility and help them coordinate and expedite their schedules more efficiently.
“We haven’t built a refinery in this country in 30 years, yet our consumption
has gone up dramatically,” Lucas said. “Our demand has increased so much that
now we don’t just import oil, but we’ve increased our imports of refined
gasoline as well. We must increase our U.S. supplies of oil and gasoline, and
reduce our dependence on foreign nations.”
A second bill passed today prohibits price gouging of gasoline, diesel, and
other fuels. Currently state laws make price gouging illegal, but this
legislation would allow those guilty of price gouging to be prosecuted
concurrently at the state and federal level.
It would allow the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission to
prosecute price gouging, for civil penalties up to 3 times the ill-gotten gain,
plus up to $3 million per violation at the wholesale level.
Criminal penalties at the wholesale level will be up to $150 million, up to two
years imprisonment, or both. Criminal penalties at the retail level will be up
to $2 million, up to two years imprisonment, or both.
Lucas said the refinery bill will continue to allow private citizens to appeal
the permitting process.
“Local residents’ concerns will still be taken under consideration,” Lucas said.
“We still allow for feedback from local residents on proposed refineries in
their areas.”
The Refinery Permit Process Schedule Act passed the House of Representatives
today by a vote of 237 to 188. The Federal Energy Price Protection Act also
passed the House today by a vote of 389 to 34. Both bills must also pass the
Senate before they could be signed into law by President Bush.

State FFA Convention
More than 10,000 Oklahoma FFA members representing 356 high school
agricultural education programs are expected to attend the 80th annual State FFA
Convention, scheduled April 25-26 at the Cox Convention Center in downtown
Oklahoma City.
This year’s convention theme is Living to Serve. Service is an important
component of FFA. Through serving others, FFA members learn the importance of
hard work, the rewards of a job well-done and the satisfaction of helping
others. Through agricultural education and FFA, young people are truly living to
serve.
The state FFA convention is the culmination of a year’s activities for FFA
members. It is an opportunity for individual awards and recognition, delegate
business, officer elections and a celebration of chapter accomplishments. The
Oklahoma FFA Foundation has raised $240,000 this year from sponsors who will
provide cash awards, scholarships, plaques and honor banquets to award winners
and degree recipients.
Travis Jett of Laverne, the current national FFA president, will return to his
home state to provide a keynote speech and workshop for the convention. Travis
is the first Oklahoman to serve as a national FFA officer since 1990 and the
first to serve as national president since 1980.
Several Beaver County FFA members will receive awards and be part of the
activities at the event.
To receive degree
Four members of the Beaver FFA and two from Balko havebeen nominated to receive
the prestigious State FFA Degree, the highest degree of active membership
awarded by the Oklahoma FFA Association.
Those receiving the award include: Kyle Barby, Cody Cline, Wade Payne and Donald
Venable of Beaver and Micala Frantz and Trent Patzkowsky from Balko.
The honor is bestowed upon high school senior FFA members who have demonstrated
outstanding supervised agricultural experience programs and leadership
activities. Only 706 of the more than 24,000 Oklahoma FFA members have advanced
through the Discovery, Greenhand and Chapter Degrees to earn the state honor.
The Beaver FFA advisor is Tom Lamle, while Braden Naylor serves as the Balko FFA
leader.
Selected for chorus
Several Beaver County FFA members will perform at the 80th convention before the
big audience as part of the State FFA Convention Chorus.
Those selected from Beaver County include: Janel Lamar and Kyler McDonald of
Beaver and Austin Cowan, Russell Law and Sara Cowan - all of Balko. One-hundred
five FFA members from 78 different chapters were selected by nationally known
chorus director Stan Kingma of Roanoke, Va., to perform throughout the
convention.
Chorus members will arrive in Oklahoma City for rehearsal two days prior to the
convention opening. In addition to entertaining the convention participants, the
chorus will sing for the Oklahoma Legislature at the state capitol as a special
guest of Rep. Don Armes.
FFA is an integral part of the Agricultural Education Division within the
Oklahoma CareerTech System. FFA members can look forward to unlimited success in
life and can choose from more than 300 careers in agriculture, food, fiber and
natural resource industries.

Tri-County electric to purchase Xcel property soon
Jack Perkins, CEO of Tri-County Electric Cooperative, Inc. is excited that
acquisition plans for for Xcel property in the area are on track.
“This has been over 20 years coming so it’s hard not to want to get these final
steps completed but we’re pretty much where we expected to be in the process,”
Perkins said. “It is a long process be we hope to be final in June.” Plans for
the acquisition were first announce to the public last October.
Tri-County Electric purchasing isolated Xcel properties throughout the Oklahoma
Panhandle; Elkhart, Kan. area properties; and some 300 meters in adjoining Texas
locations.
Documents have been filed with Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas Corporation
Commissions. Xcel filed with FERC to obtain federal approval and Tri-County
joined as a party in those documents in which no snags are expected.
Perkins announced a settlement conference was set last week in Kansas for
officials to discuss the acquisition and sign the agreement with commission
staffers.
In Texas, Perkins expects the process to be simple and only pertain to
administrative details with no hearings required.
He is most anxious to meet with Xcel employees and is glad to get that session
scheduled. “We’ve been trying to meet with the Xcel employees for some time to
explain our plans and answer any questions or concerns they may have,” Perkins
said. Xcel has 14 employees with 13 being offered positions at Tri-County
through the co-op’s regular hiring practices.
“We’d like to have all 13 employees because they know the Xcel properties and
their knowledge will certainly make the transition go a lot smoother,” he added.
Perkins is also willing to meet with members and soon-to-be members. “We are
available for presentations to assure that everyone understands what this means
for them.”
He added that for Xcel patrons, the biggest change will be calling a local
number for service and becoming cooperative members instead of business
customers.
Perkins stressed that Xcel customers will see no rate increase and current
members will not experience any change either.
“The transition will add members to the cooperative and so fixed costs will be
spread out over more meters and that will keep costs from rising as fast as they
could have otherwise,” he added.
Community franchise agreements will roll over from Xcel to Tri-County who has
already met with every affected city council except for Texhoma, Okla..
“We’re raising the bar and this is a win-win situation for everyone involved,”
he concluded.
