Underage Beer Sales Prompt Arrests

Three Ponca City residents were taken into custody this weekend during an alcohol compliance sting operation conducted by the Ponca City Police Department on local businesses.
These subjects were arrested on felony charges of providing alcohol to a person under 21 after purchasing alcohol for an underage operative working in conjunction with the police department Saturday afternoon.
A fourth subject, a clerk at a local liquor store, is also expected to face similar charges . If convicted, these individuals could face a fine of up to $5,000 and/or up to 5 years in jail.
Police officials say the local liquor store where the clerk was employed could also face additional administrative fines by the Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement (ABLE) Commission.
The sting was funded by a grant from the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office administered by the Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police. The grant’s goal is to reduce underage drinking in Ponca City through increased enforcement activities targeting underage purchase and consumption of beer and other alcoholic beverages.
According to Sgt. Don Bohon, who was among investigators conducting the sting, out of the 28 businesses checked, only 14 proved compliant, a rating Bohon noted was poor at best. “A 50 percent compliance ratio indicates to me we have a problem in Ponca City with the availability of alcohol to underage individuals,” he said.
Bohon indicated he wouldn’t have believed Ponca City’s compliance rating would have been so low. “I figured compliance would at least be somewhere around 70 percent,” he said.
This alcohol compliance “problem” among Ponca City retailers seems to only be underscored by information provided by the police department in it’s annual report released earlier this month. It cites that the actual number of juvenile public intoxication cases nearly doubled last year, climbing from 33 cases in 1999 to 58 cases in 2000.
According to Sgt. Fred Marshall, who oversees the actual grant for the program, the department is currently looking at ways of correcting this non-compliance problem among local businesses. “We’re going to continue to monitor these businesses by doing more sting operations” over the next several months, he said.
A second way the department plans to battle this growing problem is to pursue sanctions against the violating businesses when a clerk working there is caught selling low-point beer to underage individuals. Currently only the clerks face the actual fines, which can be up to $175. “Some of these stores have sold multiple times to underage individuals,” Marshall stressed, highlighting the need for the additional sanctions on these non-compliant businesses. The sanctions would be placed on a store’s beverage license.
OK, we’ve been waiting a long time for this. Tomorrow morning (Tuesday) at precisely 7:15 a.m. local time, spring begins. Now let’s have no more ice and snow until next winter. Let’s skip the late season freezes and shivery days. Start up the lawnmowers. Bring on Daylight Savings time (April 1). Let the warm (not hot) days begin!
From Staff and AP Reports
Carl’s Jr. restaurant officials say they’re closing several of the fast-food stores in Oklahoma, including its Ponca City location, because they are underperforming.
The fast-food chain is also shutting down three restaurants in Tulsa, two in Oklahoma City, one in Broken Arrow and one in Tahlequah, said spokeswoman Narine Singh.
The company cited poor sales when it made announcement, saying the restaurants that will close on Monday are not doing as well as others.
Two restaurants in Texas also will close.
Employees at one Tulsa Carl’s Jr. say they were not offered severance packages and were told about the closures on Tuesday.
Some employees of the Ponca City Carl’s Jr. on North Fourteenth Street said they were informed March 15 of the store going to close on Saturday at closing time. Additional word received Friday was that the store would remain open until this morning.
A sign on the two customer service doors at mid-morning today said, “This Carl’s Jr. Restaurant has closed. Thank you for your past support and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.” The outside sign had only “CLOSED” on it.
The closings leave the company with 51 operating Carl’s Jr.s, including 12 in Oklahoma.
Restaurants remaining open include two in Tulsa, one in Claremore, one in Sand Springs, one in Bixby and one in Skiatook.
The company also owns the Hardee’s hamburger chain.
The Ponca City Area Crime Stoppers Program is having an annual membership drive. “Memberships are inexpensive and our community benefits greatly from having a Crime Stoppers Program”, says Andy Longoria, Ponca City Area Crime Stoppers Board President.
Crime Stoppers is a program designed to allow the flow of information to law enforcement officials from sources which remain entirely anonymous that leads to an arrest or recovery of stolen property.
“The process is really pretty simple”, explains Capt. Dwaine Vincent, Police Coordinator for Crime Stoppers.
“The caller provides information about a crime, over the phone. We give them a code number and then check out the validity of the information in attempt to make an arrest or recover property. The caller is encouraged to call back and check on the case status identifying themselves only by the number we’d given them when they first called in. If an arrest is made or property is recovered the Reward Committee meets and decides on the amount they receive. If an award is approved, the caller is paid in cash by a board member, never an Officer,” Vincent said.
The Ponca City Area Crime Stoppers is in existence only because of concerned citizens making donations to the program. There is no paid staff. The Ponca City Area has operated under the umbrella of the Chamber of Commerce since it’s inception in April of 1984.
“Rewards are paid from donations and membership fees”, adds Longoria. Crime Stoppers does not receive any funding from state or federal sources. All contributions are tax deductible. Annual memberships are $10 for individuals, $25 for business or $50 for Corporations.
The coverage area also includes Blackwell, Tonkawa, Newkirk and all areas covered by the Kay County Sheriff's Office.

Mayor Tom Leonard proclaimed March as Athletic Trainer Awareness Month. So, be aware of Becky Flanagan, the athletic trainer for Ponca City High School for the past three years.
“Ponca’s a good place to work,” she said. “It’s been tough getting the coaches and everybody adjusted to having a trainer because they are used to doing everything on their own.”
Also, she is unsure of how much support she has from parents.
“I have quite a bit of support,” she said. “But, during basketball season, one of my girls, who is a junior, got hurt. I went to the doctor with her and her mom.
“Her mom didn’t know until that day that I was not a high school student and I’ve been here three years.”
Flanagan readily admits that public relations is not her forte’. So, what is, and what does she do?
Before practice, she performs injury prevention by wrapping and bracing ankles, knees, fingers, elbows or whatever needs attention. She evaluates injuries to determine whether the student athlete should be seen by a physician or not. She is the one who provides immediate assistance to injured athletes.
She said a large number of sports injuries she sees can be attributed to bad shoes. As a rule of thumb, a good running shoe only lasts 500 miles. After that, the cushioning support from the shoe deteriorates. Some shoes are simply inadequate in the first place.
Flanagan, who is a 1993 Po-Hi graduate, completed her requirements for a Bachelor’s degree in 1996 at the University of Tulsa. The curriculum included the study of human anatomy, exercise physiology, biomechanics, emergency care, injury/illness prevention and evaluation, nutrition, psychology, pathology, pharmacology and administration. She’s a certified first aid and CPR instructor. In May, she graduates from OSU with a Master’s degree.
“I’m in the process of becoming an emergency medical technician,” she said. “Then I want to complete paramedic training. Not that I want to be a paramedic, but so I can be that much more prepared for life threatening emergencies on the field.”
Flanagan said Ponca City was one of the last 6A schools to get an athletic trainer. She said she was in Tulsa working at a job she really didn’t like when her mother called to say a trainer is being hired at Ponca.
Flanagan recalled that she said, “So?”
But the job turned out to be too good to turn down, so I moved back. “Which is something I said I would never do. I’ve been here three years now and I like it,” she said. “I guess everything happens for a reason and I moved back here to meet my husband.”
Flanagan said her long term goal is to teach athletic training at college.
“Ultimately at T.U.,” she said. “But those jobs are few and far between. “I don’t necessarily think the job has to be in Oklahoma, but my husband is a state trooper so I don’t have a choice. He has to stay in Oklahoma.”
Flanagan is an employee of St. Joseph Regional Medical Center, where she works during morning hours. In the afternoon, she works at the high school.
