Frontier at Forefront Of Short School Week
RED ROCK (AP) - A proposal to institute a 4 1/2-day week for schools in
Medford has already been successfully implemented at another Oklahoma school
district.
Every Friday for the past three school years, teachers in the Frontier Schools
have said goodbye to their students at 12:30 p.m. and become students themselves.
The Frontier schools, which serve the Red Rock and Marland communities,
switched to 4 1/2-day weeks to provide more time for teacher training in
technology.
Medford Superintendent Ron Gordon is pushing a similar proposal for his
district in northwestern Oklahoma. He proposes lengthening class time on
Monday through Thursday to give students a half-day on Friday and teachers
time to train on various things, including technology. become the students.
Frontier Superintendent Steve Shiever said the district had previously conducted
training workshops on weekends and after school. That caused plenty of scheduling
problems for the teachers.
Now, three hours each Friday are devoted to staff development. The classes
all run 27 minutes and the buses run at 12:30 p.m. to take students home.
Shiever said students liked the idea, but some parents were a bit apprehensive
about the change.
''Some parents were skeptical at first,'' he said. ''They didn't know if
it would be detrimental to the students.''
They also were concerned about having to find someone to watch their children
during the afternoon. He said there was only one complaint after the first
year.
Many parents now use Fridays to take care of errands such as going to the
doctor or dentist, getting haircuts or buying prom dresses, he said.
Shiever said the district moved to a more technology-based system of instruction
because it needed to improve students' test scores.
One of the school's goals is to have all of its graduates be able to give
a multi-media presentation using visual and audio computer aids, he said.
Test scores have improved since the school began using the new technology-based
curriculum, he added.
Frontier does all of grading and attendance and the school calendar on computers,
Shiever said, and teachers communicate by electronic mail.
The training sessions are necessary to keep teachers abreast of new technological
developments, he said.
Some of the training seminars are conducted by outside technical specialists.
Others are conducted by in-house instructors.
Proposed Closing Draws Responses
By LAURA TREADWAY
News Staff Writer
Citizens appeared at the Ponca City Traffic Commission's public hearing
Thursday to voice comments regarding the proposed closing of Seventh Street,
from Drummond Avenue to Lucas Street.
Mike Lane, traffic engineer, reported to the citizens that the request for
closing was generated by a petition of 50 signatures from the Southside
Neighbors. Complaints of high speed traffic, the need to enhance security
as well as increasing the desirability of the area were concerns of the
Neighbors.
Several of the Neighbors attended the hearing to reaffirm their support
in favor of closing the portion of Seventh Street. Dick Barker, president
of the Southside Neighbors, informed the Traffic Commission that a survey
of the area had been conducted.
The scope of the survey included South Fourth Street to South Fourteenth
Street, between South Avenue and U.S. 60.
Barker confirmed that the survey was distributed door-to-door. Of the 145
residents who responded, two-thirds supported the closing. Lane stated that
the survey would be included as part of the record of the meeting.
Two citizens spoke out strongly in opposition to the closing. They felt
the closing accommodated a small group of people. A new route would be inconvenient
and inefficient for them, they informed the group.
A resident of the Southside Neighbors said that no residential homes or
businesses exist in the area of the proposed closing and only a few blocks
will be closed.
Betty Durkee, project director for Standing Bear, confirmed that the group
did not initiate the closing, but did lend support. Ken Parr, director of
Public Works clarified that the request of the Southside Neighbors came
to the Traffic Commission before Standing Bear was approved.
"We want to be a good neighbor and make as little inconvenience for
the community as possible," Durkee said. "We are trying to work
to keep a park atmosphere in the area."
John Carpenter asked the citizens at the hearing to indicate, by a show
of hands, who was for and who was against the closing. Of the 20 in attendance,
four citizens acknowledged their opposition.
A man, who spoke as a representative of Conoco, said, "As the monument
grows, we will want to keep the flow of traffic out of the neighborhood."
Conoco wrote a letter showing support for the closing and submitted it to
the Traffic Commission for the record.
Parr stated, "If the street is closed, the right-of-way will remain
open so it can be reopened at a later date, if needed. The street will not
be vacated," he verified.
Chairman Milford Reeder reminded the group that no decision has yet been
made regarding the closing. He confirmed that the public hearing was held
to gauge the citizens' response.
"There will be at least two additional meetings, where comments can
be made," he said.
Written comments regarding the closing of Seventh Street can be submitted
to: Mike Lane, P.O. Box 1450, Ponca City, 74602.
The Traffic Commission will take action on the item during the Aug. 16 meeting.
The commission's recommendation will go before the Ponca City Board of Commissioners
on Aug. 26.
Head Start Expands To Five Day Week
The Ponca City Head Start has announced expansion of its program to a five
day week. For several years the program operated on a four day schedule
and staff members are pleased to present the added day to clients.
According to a spokesperson for the program, enrollment is now open at the
center, 407 South Ash Street for three and four year old applicants. The
center also has enrollment opportunities for children with disabilities.
The program is operated from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Applicants are instructed to bring verification of income and child's age
at enrollment.
For more information call 765-1173.

'Telephone Buddies' Plan Benefits Many P.C. Citizens
The new American Red Cross "Telephone Buddies" program has been
in progress for almost two months and has benefited many citizens in Ponca
City, says coordinator Laurie King.
In a recent report, King tells of two Telephone Buddies, who especially
benefited from the program. Melissa Brace and Mrs. Long are two "buddies"
who have especially enjoyed the opportunity to become friends through the
program, says King.
Mrs. Long is a resident of Ponca City who has spent much of her life helping
others. Her family lives far away and she anxiously volunteered for the
contact provided through the Red Cross organization.
Melissa Brace is her partner and said she has had a wonderful time getting
to know Mrs. Long. Their friendship has extended far beyond the telephone
contact.
Brace said Mrs. Long invited her over for cake one afternoon. When Melissa
got there, she realized it was Mrs. Long's birthday. Brace spent part of
the afternoon with her and was happy to be there for her on her birthday.
Mrs. Long said "This is the most wonderful experience for me. I never
would have imagined it to be so enjoyable."
Brace feels the same way. She said, "We have several things in common
and are helpful to each other. I am very grateful for my phone buddy and
I am looking forward to spending more time with her."
King said she is very satisfied with the results of the program but hopes
more people will take advantage of this special opportunity in the upcoming
months.
"Those involved have been very pleased and I am grateful to the volunteers
who have helped their community in the neat way. It has been interesting
to see how excited they are when they realize how rewarding this easy commitment
is!" says King.
Brace continued, "I definitely recommend the Red Cross Telephone Buddies
program to anyone who has a few minutes each week and would like to know
a new friend. My experience has been better than I ever imagined."
King announced a party to be held this Saturday from 6 to 7 p.m. at the
American Red Cross Office, 525 Monument Road. Telephone Buddies participants
will have a chance to meet each other and other people in the program if
they haven't done so already, she said. Food and entertainment will be included
in the party.
Citizens interested in becoming a Telephone Buddy, may call the American
Red Cross office at 765-6605. Volunteers of every age are needed. The younger
division only commits to three calls per week for two months.
King encourages all those who are considering volunteering, or know someone
who would be interested in being a Telephone Buddy to call the ARC office
for more information.

Konawa Singing Headlines Gospel Music Saturday
Not too much goes on in the sleepy little town of Konawa, 14 miles north
of Ada in Seminole County. There is a rodeo now and then, a big Fourth of
July celebration, lots of school events, candy and Santa Claus at Christmas;
but this little city of 1,760 population, swells to more than 20,000 each
year on the first Saturday night in August when Gospel music fans from across
the nation converge on Konawa for The Oklahoma All Night Singing.
Oklahoma has a great heritage! Just give an Oklahoman a chance and he'll
come up with a festival, a rodeo or some big event to draw attention to
his city or state. The All Night Singing in Konawa has been among the top
ten special events promoted nationally by the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation
for more than 20 years.
The all night singing is an annual presentation that has been a gospel music
homecoming favorite for thousands who attend yearly. This year's presentation

Keating who cited Konawa as being the oldest and best attended festival
in the state. Fostering tourism and adding to Oklahoma's rich cultural heritage
by promoting brotherly love, fellowship and wholesome family entertainment
while providing a means to insure that Christianity shall remain alive and
vibrant in our times!
Many arrive early to take advantage of Konawa's beautiful park for picnicking.
Others spread blankets under shade trees and try to catch a few winks of
sleep before the all night event begins. Campers begin arriving on Thursday
and Friday and the park is usually filled by noon on Saturday.
This year's presentation will again be held in Veterans' Memorial Park in
the heart of Konawa. Beginning at 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3, featured groups
include: J.D. Sumner and the Famous Stamps Quartet of Nashville; Hovie Lister
and the Statesmen Quartet of Atlanta; the Merits of Springdale, Ark.; The
McLaughlin Brothers of Oklahoma City; and famous native American Groups

FAMILY LIVING
First Day of School May Cause Anxiety
Many people experience some anxiety when faced with a new situation, whether
it be meeting new people or starting a new job.
Children often react in the same manner when they are about to experience
something for the first time. Mary Rhyne, Kay County Extension Home Economist,
said the first day of school is no exception.
"It doesn't matter if a child is going to school for the first time
or if she is starting the sixth grade; the first day of school can be difficult,''
Rhyne said. "Experiencing a good first day at school can influence
a child's future attitude toward learning and new experiences."
Parents play a critical role in helping a child develop the self-confidence
needed throughout life. Children who have positive feelings about their
parents, family and school itself are more likely to build self-confidence,
she said.
Children are curious about new situations and experiences. Taking the time
to explain what will happen while at school will make the transition easier.
"Even the smallest concern of a child is important," Rhyne said.
"Explain to your first grade child that she will eat lunch at school
and tell her how she will get home every day. Knowing as many details as
possible, no matter how small, helps a child handle the stress involved."
If possible, visit the school and the child's teacher before classes actually
begin if your child is new to the school. Getting a child acquainted with
new surroundings will help make her more comfortable once school starts.
"It's important for parents to listen to and understand the concerns
of their child," she said. "If parents have a positive attitude
toward going to school, this will reflect in the child."
If a child continues to show fear and distress after several days of school
there may be a problem. Contact the school guidance counselor, principal
and teacher to help indicate the problem and take steps to alleviate it.
Reassuring actions by both parents and teachers will most often result in
a child feeling comfortable at school.
While many children handle the first day of school very well, some parents
can experience adjustment difficulties.
"Parents have spent several years teaching their children to be independent,
and when the child acts on that, it can be startling for parents,"
Rhyne said. "It can be difficult to see your child so grown up. However,
it's vital that your child sees you expressing a positive attitude toward
school. Your enthusiasm as a parent can rub off on your child."

introduced the program.
The program started with a video, which demonstrated the thermal imaging
systems, which can be used to locate people during a fire, when it is impossible
to see through smoke with the naked eye.
White said she had first seen the system on "Date Line" and felt
this was something from which the community could benefit. The project involves
raising $50,000 for two helmets.
101 Beverage Company has undertaken the fund-raiser for the Ponca City Fire
Department. An unidentified donor has given $25,000 and fund-raisers are
being held to raise funds for the project. Several club members wrote checks
to donate to the project.
Guests were Carrie and Casey Cooley, daughters of Hillary Cooley. Participating
in Roses and Raspberries were Roe Mayse, Gael Hancock and Bobbie Smith.
Smith gave "Moments," entitled "Laughter is Good Medicine."
Carmaleta Wesbrook, president, called on Gael Hancock, hospitality chairman,
to tell about the Aug. 15 installation of officers banquet at Ristorante
Bravo. Members are asked to come about 11:30 a.m., and go through the buffet
line and then up to the meeting room.
Meeting of Russian Germans To Include Research Workshop
Jo Ann Kuhr, research director for the American Historical Society of Germans
from Russia, Lincoln, Neb., will be featured speaker at the Oklahoma All
State Meeting of AHSGR Aug. 10 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Evangelical
Free Church, 920 North Daniel, Weatherford, Okla. A potluck lunch will be
served at noon.
Mrs. Kuhr has been of member of the organization for 17 years. When she
first started, there were six drawers of obituaries and six drawers of family
group cards. There are now 182 drawers, combined with 10 drawers of obituaries
waiting to be microfilmed before they are filed. Mrs. Kuhr directs the volunteers
who contribute hundreds of hours to the project.
She is also working on the "Aussiedler" project. Aussiedler are
ethnic Germans who have returned to Germany, which their ancestors left
to migrate to Russia more than 200 years ago. The project's two goals are
to unite these families with their relatives in North America with whom
they had to drop all contact during the 1930's and to gather from these
people the history of their home villages and the people who lived there.
During Mrs. Kuhr's presentation, she will speak about new material the society
has been able to obtain from various archives in Russia and the Ukraine,
as well as outlining additional material in the archives.
The meeting will also include a computer workshop, presenting genealogy
on the Internet, and information on using indexes to church records, passenger
lists, census, immigration lists, and books on the computer.
The public is invited to attend by Lil Larwig, chapter president.

bachelors and Niki Jorgenson, masters.
Po-Hi Parking Policy Toughened
Any vehicle driven for the purpose of attending Ponca City Senior High must
be parked on the school parking lot. Citizens living in the vicinity of
the school have often found the streets lined with students' vehicles which
made trash pick-up, service and maintenance very difficult if not impossible.
This year, a special effort will be made to enforce the policy requiring
students to park on the lot. Disciplinary action will include suspension
from school. Continued violation will result in suspension from classes.
Parents are asked to help in this endeavor by checking to see that their
student's car has a parking lot sticker on the windshield. All vehicles
parked on the Senior High lot will be required to have a sticker.
Some students park off the lot to drive somewhere for lunch. This is one
of the causes of truancy and being tardy to fourth hour. The high school
cafeteria offers many choices of food and drink during the lunch hour. Cars
are not permitted to leave the lot at any time without the proper sticker
or pass.
Please help make the Senior High and surrounding area safer, cleaner and
a better place for the students and homeowners by encouraging students to
park on the lot.

Kay County School Districts' Overall Accreditation Status
The State Department of Education, which accredits districts and individual
school sites, has released a "report card" on the accreditation
status of the schools in Kay County.
Accreditation is based on whether districts and schools are in compliance
with State Board of Education regulations and state law. The report card
indicates the overall accreditation status of each school district.
A deficiency is when a school fails to meet one or more standards but is
not necessarily jeopardizing the quality of its educational program. A warning
is for schools that fail to meet one or more standards and is jeopardizing
the quality of its educational program. A plan for improvement must be presented
to the State Department of Education.
Currently in Oklahoma there are 1,749 schools with no deficiencies, 78 schools
with one deficiency, 50 schools with more than one deficiency and 51 schools
with a warning. There is one school on probation.
In Kay County, the school districts accreditation standings are as follows:
Peckham, Ponca City, Tonkawa, First Lutheran and Pioneer Technology Center
are all district accredited with no deficiencies.
Kildare is district accredited with deficiencies for coach lacking a required
course; for proficiency based promotion not being made available to all
students and for not all administrators responsible for teacher evaluation
receiving training.
Braman and Newkirk are both district accredited with warning for elementary's
low performance on test scores.
Blackwell is district accredited with one deficiency to the middle school
for violation of class-size limit for grades 7-12.
St. Mary's is district accredited with deficiencies for teacher teaching
without proper credential/endorsement and for not all certified personnel
holding a valid teaching license/certificate.
Kaw City is district accredited with warning for low performance on test
scores. It has deficiencies for not reviewing and revising Consolidated
Local Education Plan annually; not performing school bus emergency evacuation
drills; for not submitting mandated reports in a timely manner; for not
including Priority Academic Student Skills in the written curriculum.
Also for not giving all teachers a copy of PASS; for not keeping attendance
records for all students and updating them daily; for not conducting fire
drills as required; for no procedures for medicines, accidents, child neglect
and abuse; and for not providing handbooks to students, parents and teachers
as required by law.
Frontier Schools Enrollment Date
Frontier Schools will hold pre-enrollment on Aug. 12, from 4 to 7 p.m. All
children attending Frontier Public Schools this year need to attend.
Lists will be posted on classroom doors for grades K-8th. Parents need to

to the high school. Enrollment instructions will be posted.
New students need to report to Tom Gage in the elementary office for K-4th
grades, and 5th-8th students need to see Greg Jackson in the middle school
office. New high school students should report to Randy Robinson. Parents
will need to provide immunization records, birth certificates and grade
cards from their former school for all new students, regardless of their
grade.
Frontier Schools request that all students be assisted by parents or guardians
during enrollment. For questions, call Frontier School at (405) 723-4360.

Kildare Announces Enrollment Date
Enrollment for kindergarten through sixth grade at Kildare School will be
held Aug. 13, at 6:30 p.m. All students entering kindergarten need to enroll
even if pre-enrollment was done last spring.
Kindergarten children who have not pre-enrolled need to bring their birth
certificates and immunization records with them. All students who have not
attended Kildare School before must submit proof of immunizations before
they may attend school.
Classes will begin Aug. 15 at 8:30 a.m.
Burbank School and Kindergarten Enrollment
Burbank School grades 1-8 enroll on Aug. 14, the first day of school. Kindergarten
and prekindergarten enrollment will be Monday from 9 to 11 a.m. or by phone.
A child must be 5 years of age on or before Sept. 1 to be admitted into
kindergarten and 4-years-old for prekindergarten. Children admitted to first
grade must be 6-years-old on or before Sept. 1.
Seventh and eighth graders enrolling for the first time will enroll at Burbank.
The rest of these students will ride the Shidler bus and enroll in Mr. Cargill's
office. All students will need a social security number this year. The buses
will run at the same time as last year, but school begins at 8:25 a.m. and
will be dismissed at 3:15 p.m.
All students entering kindergarten through eighth grade must present complete
immunization records. As of March 14, the Oklahoma State Department of Health
approved the following revisions:
The first revision becomes effective with the fall 1996 semester and requires
children entering kindergarten or first grade without having attended kindergarten
to have received 5 doses of DPT or a combination of DTP and DTaP vaccines
totaling 5 doses (unless the fourth DTP/DTaP was received after the fourth
birthday) and four doses of polio vaccine (unless the third dose was received
after the fourth birthday.)
The second revision becomes effective with the fall 1997 semester and requires
all students entering the seventh grade to provide documentation of having
received 3 doses of hepatitis B vaccine. Since completion of the series
of three doses of hepatitis B vaccine requires 4 to 6 months, parents should
be notified of this requirement while students are in the sixth grade.
Students entering the first time in kindergarten and first grade at Burbank
need to provide a birth certificate, immunization record and social security
number.
The supply list for kindergarten is: two boxes of 8 primary size Crayola
crayons; Fiscars scissors with the rounded tips; six number two pencils;
two large bottles of school glue; one box of washable markers; one watercolor
paint; a paint shirt; a box of Kleenex; a shoe box-size Rubbermaid Clear
Keeper for school box; one card trinkets for reward jar; and one box colored
chalk.
PC Teacher Goes to OSU Writing Project
Paula Elmer, Po-Hi math teacher, took part in the OSU Writing Project Summer
Institute of Writing at OSU.
Eighteen teachers attended a five-week study of how to teach students at
all grade levels to write.
Participants received a $650 stipend to cover graduate tuition and supplies.

Writing Project, and continue their association through renewal meetings
and advanced summer study. Teacher consultants also present writing workshops
to teachers during the school year.
The project has more than 50 workshops on various aspects of teaching writing
available to teachers. Popular workshops include writing as a process, portfolio
assessment, preparing students for Oklahoma's mandated writing assessment,
and writing across the curriculum.
Teachers and school districts interested in information about future Summer
Institutes or school-year programs should contact the OSU Writing Project
at (405) 744-6234.
SPORTS
All-State Basketball
ALL-STATERS! Ponca City was well represented at the All-State basketball
games held at Hamilton Fieldhouse on the campus of the University of Central
Oklahoma Thursday night. Above left, former Wildcat Jon Hoover (15) battles

PC Veteran Morgan Shows Way in Moto
By FRED HILTON
News Sports Editor
It was the veterans' turn to show the way for the Ponca City riders as the
NMA Grand National Motocross Championship entered its second day at the
Ambuc Track.
Justin Wohletz was eighth in Thursday's first moto of the 250cc Stock Pro
class and was again in the top 10 for the pro modified division this morning.
Over 30 Non-Pro rider Scott Morgan may have the last laugh on NMA President
Ron Hendricksen as he finished a solid second in his first moto Thursday
afternoon.
Hendricksen, who has become friends with the long-time championship rider
during his frequent runs at the Ponca City track, quipped that, "Scott
Morgan has entered to finish fourth again," before the races started.
But Morgan is in the running for the class championship as is Ponca City's
John Gillard, who was sixth, in the Plus 30 Non-Pro class.
The younger local riders continued to have problems.
Chuck Diebold finished 18th in his division of the 125cc Modified Intermediate
Class Thursday afternoon after slipping to 24th in the stock class that
morning.
Diebold, who is in his first year of intermediate competition, hopes to
improve during his second motos today and Saturday morning.
Also looking for better results in the second motos is Michael Duran, who
is in his first full year in the Junior Cycle category. Duran was 19th in
Thursday morning's stock division and improved only slightly in the afternoon's
modified run, finishing 13th.
Meanwhile, Pee-Wee rider Shane Gray was 24th in the 7-8 year-old modified
division late Friday. He will also get his second shot this afternoon.
Wohletz was fifth off the starting line in this morning's 250 Modified Pro
moto but slipped back to eighth on the second lap and stayed there as the
field spread out.
He noted he suffered the same fate in the stock division, starting fourth
before slipping back during the grueling eight-lap race.
"I got tired," Wohletz said, adding that he has not rode much
this past year. "But I should be able to do this.
"But I am also having trouble with my back."
It is that back problem that caused him to pull out of the 125 pro races
in order to concentrate on the 250 runs.
Still, this is the best showing by the second-year pro.
Wohletz' performance was somewhat overshadowed by the pro dual between Charley
Bogard of Grand Prairie, Texas, Andy Bowyer of Emporia, Kan., and Ryan Clark
of Albuquerque, N.M.
Bogard finished first in the 250 Stock Pro class early Friday with Bowyer
second. Clark won the 125 Modified Pro class first moto late Friday with
Bogard second and Bowyer out of the top 5. Bogard again won in the 125 Stock
Pro with Clark second
In this morning's 250 Modified Pro moto, Bogard again finished first, 15
seconds in front of Bowyer, with Clark out of the running.
That three-way dual continues this afternoon and Saturday with the pro championship
- and the lucrative pro contracts that go with it - going down to the wire.
Oklahoman Keith Frazier of Elk City is making his presence felt among the
amateur ranks. Frazier won his heats in the 125 Stock Novice and 125 Modified
Novice classes.
Justin Buckelew, of Albuquerque, is the top rated rider in the 80cc class,
winning his heats in the 14-15 stock and modified classes.
East Basketballers Net Sweep of West Teams
EDMOND (AP) - Jay Mauck scored a game-high 19 points, including 12 in the
first half, as the Small East held off the Small West 85-76 in the McDonald's
All-State Basketball Tournament Thursday night.
In the second game, Derrick Taylor shattered the Large West's comeback hopes,
scoring 10 of his game-high 24 points in the final 1:46 as the Large East
put away to a 101-87 win.
After trailing by as many as 18 points midway through the fourth quarter,
the Large West rallied behind John Marshall's Joe Adkins, pulling to within
four, 85-81, with 3:04 remaining.
But the Large East went on a 10-2 run to the 1:01 mark and a 16-6 spurt
to the finish, as Taylor took over inside. The Large East's 101 points and
the combined total of 188 were the most in a big-school game since 1983,
when the Large West won a wild 123-122 affair.
Ponca City's Jon Hoover was 2-for-3 from three-point range during the game
and finished with eight points to help the Large East.
In the earlier game, Mauck was 6-of-10 from the field - including 2-of-4
from 3-point range - and 5-of-6 from the line as the Small East recovered
from a slow start that saw the Small West take a 17-2 lead before the halfway
mark of the first quarter.
Northern Oklahoma signee Steven Lookout of Hominy added 15 points and six
rebounds for the Small East, which would stretch a 43-39 halftime advantage
to a 13-point spread through the initial 3:26 of the third quarter.
Frontier forward J.W. Buxton contributed to the Small East win with six
points and four rebounds.
