From the pages of The Ponca City News, Tuesday, September 15, 1998 LOCAL DEATHS NEWS BRIEFS SPORTS BUSINESS LOCALMayor Finds Retreat Pleasant Surprise Mayor Finds Retreat Pleasant SurpriseBy BOB PATTERSON News Staff Writer Reflecting on what Mayor Tom Leonard called a “pleasant surprise” at a retreat Friday that included the Ponca City Board of Commissioners, items on Monday’s agenda went just as smooth. “We had a retreat Friday, and I am very happy to report that the process of long-term planning, seemed to be the No. 1 priority on everybody’s list,” Mayor Leonard said. He noted that planned growth is the key to stability for Ponca City, and “we’ll probably take another retreat and bring in special people and the board will offer citizens an opportunity for concerns.” “It was especially rewarding for me, to work as a team and that makes us much more effective. It nevertheless, takes a lot of effort and thought,” he said. During Monday’s session, Leonard pulled two items from the consent agenda to allow additional comments. They included the resolution creating the Millennium Commission and approval of the employment agreement with the city manager. City Commissioner Dick Stone, who said he would not pull a particular item, wanted it to be known that a change order and final payment to Evans and Associates Construction Company Inc. amounting to $24,749.46 for work completed on John Street from Hartford Avenue to Bradley Avenue, “was well under the contracted amount of almost $30,000.” Leonard said in creating the Millennium Commission, he had also asked former Mayor John Raley to be chairman, and allowed Raley to inform those in attendance what to expect. Raley said while there are 400-plus days to the year 2000, “that’s not a lot of time when you consider how important the Millennium is, in that it only comes once every thousand years. We expect to have a report soon on such an event that will celebrate the time, and I would anticipate an ambitious plan to be considered as a result of our (Ponca City) having considerable resources.” The city manager employment agreement comes following research of other cities finding it is a customary document for all city managers and it sets out terms for both parties. The creating of the Millennium Commission and the employment agreement for the city manager were both approved, as were the other items on the consent agenda. Items Approved Authorization was given to advertise for bids for furnishings and equipment to provide aid in the Salvation Army Emergency Shelter, as a result of a grant being received. Also approved was a proposal from J&J Plastering to furnish labor and materials to repair damaged plaster in the interior of the Artist Studio at the Marland Mansion Estate amounting to $4,500. Close-out documents will be submitted to the Oklahoma Department of Commerce for the Community Development Block Grant multijurisdictional project concerning Ponca City landfill improvements, and a bid committee recommendation to reject bids for the reconstruction of No. 12 golf green at the Lew Wentz Memorial golf course was accepted. The only bid was $12,500 over the budgeted amount. There were other comments from commissioners, in particular about the YMCA, after Commissioner Chris Hand brought up the subject. “I’ve heard a lot of conversation on the YMCA, about the closing of the pool.” “What it amounts to,” Commissioner Stone said, is that “it is normal activity and there should be no alarm about the closing of the pool, since it is normal maintenance about this time of the year. It does need repairs and we’ll (the city) have to work together with the YMCA to see what type of job we’re looking at.” Leonard also wanted the public to take notice that Ponca Iron and Metal had done “a fantastic job of clearing out almost all of their material and making the area look good along North Union Street” between Albany and Brookfield Avenues. Public Transportation Plan Leonard also introduced Art Mires, who is heading up the public transportation plan. “We’re moving right along,” Mires said, and we want to schedule a public hearing. Hand said “it has been on a lot of citizen’s minds,” and Stone said too that “Ponca City Tomorrow has been instrumental in putting some focus on the situation.” A resolution confirming the mayor’s nominations for appointment of officers of the city was approved. Those named included City Manager Gary Martin, Finance Director Marc LaBossiere, Police Chief Raymond Ham, City Attorney Kevin Murphy, Assistant City Attorney Dave Garrison, Municipal Judge William Kirkpatrick, Fire Chief Larry Mullikin, General Manager/Electric Charles “Rusty” Edwards, and Alternate Municipal Judge John Northcutt. Commissioners also confirmed a nomination by the mayor to the Main Street Authority. The mayor named Frank Kennedy, with his term to expire May 2001. Fingerprinting Fee There will now be a fee for the fingerprinting of non-arrested individuals. That proposal came from Capt. Dan Tebow of the Ponca City Police Department, who said it takes a minimum of 30 minutes for the fingerprinting of an individual, and sometimes more depending on the number of copies sought. The $7 fee, with $2 for additional copies, was set and will stand until the city determines otherwise following a survey of other cities. Revisions to the commission policy statement on ambulance service and operations were approved by a 4-1 vote, with Stone stating that he voted “no” because the charges were sufficiently posted in the operating procedures. Following considerable discussion, including the mayor noting that he was not entirely in favor of Ponca City wanting to be included in a state plan for obtaining a fire training facility, the commission voted 5-0 to request the mayor to send a letter requesting such inclusion. “I just think that with our effort to reconstruct No. 1 fire station that we may not need to be included. And, we are within 80 miles of two other cities that are already serving in that capacity,” Leonard noted. Other Business In other business, commissioners approved a resolution amending the operating budgets of various funds for fiscal year 1998-99, and amending the defined benefit retirement plan, as outlined by Finance Director LaBossiere. The commission approved formal agreement to allow the connection of a new six-inch water line to service several families of the Ponca Tribe. City Manager Martin asked that a resolution authorizing application to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation for industrial access funds to construct road improvements in the Airport Industrial Park be tabled. “We want the Traffic Commission to take a look at this during their meeting Friday, and then hopefully they’ll resubmit it for the next meeting,” Martin said. A traffic commission recommendation to approve a 20 mph school zone with flashing lights on Fifth Street in the area of Ponca City High School was accepted. Meeting as members of the Ponca City Utility Authority, commissioners approved the consent agenda and one new business item, which would allow Electrical Systems Consultants Inc. to proceed with a study to evaluate the electrical generation and distribution system. The Ponca City Development Authority also approved an agreement to appoint the Bank of New York as trustee bank on the Ponca City Development Authority Oklahoma Retirement Center Revenue Bond Westminster Village Project Series 1985, as outlined by LaBossiere. It results from NationsBank not handling this type of financial structure, when the former bank in Ponca City did, according to LaBossiere. Cherokee Strip Cook Off Includes Specialty ActsThe Oklahoma Revue ’98 will appear in Ponca City at Wentz Camp as part of the Cherokee Strip Cook-Off Saturday. The group will take to the stage from 12:45 to 2:45 p.m., according to Bonnie Wetzel, chairman of entertainment for Professionals Today, which hosts the cook-off. The Oklahoma Revue is a musical variety show featuring vocal artists, most of them from Oklahoma. The event will feature the several vocal artists. Bobby Hill has respectfully been nicknamed ‘The man of a thousand voices’. He is an extraordinary voice impressionist but has his own material as well. He lives in Claremore. Michelle Hull is the ‘foreigner’ of the group. She hails from Sedan, Kan., and is a superb vocalist. Her new album will debut soon. Erin Ashleigh is only 16 but “oh what a dream.” Erin is a blond-haired, blue-eyed beauty from Broken Arrow. Erin loves to sing and is often compared to Leanne Rimes. Carissa Darling is 17 and possibly the finest young artist in Oklahoma. She is this year’s southwest regional winner of American Kids. Carissa has been trained in opera and Broadway but is aptly gifted in all styles of music. She is a resident of Duncan. Ashley Wentworth is Brenda Lee all over again. At 13 years old, she is a little lady that packs a big punch, a definite crowd pleaser! She truly is “Little Miss Dynamite.” Lindsay Page is bright, beautiful, talented with personality plus. ‘A Star is Born’-20 year-old Lindsay is meant to be on stage. She is a natural. Admission is free and concessions will be available, in addition to the chili and barbecue tasting slated from noon to 2 p.m. Tasting kits are $5. “This is a wonderful assembly of exceptional talent” says Mike Hines, organizer of the event and President of Oklahoma Revue Association.

In 1979, Turner began her career at SJRMC and has worked in a number of departments since that time, including registration, switchboard, health information management and outpatient scheduling. She was named Volunteer Services Coordinator last May. Turner is also a member of the Mission committee and a redesign work team member at the medical center. A Ponca City native, Turner was educated in the Ponca City school system, later attending William Woods College in Fulton, Mo. where she received a bachelor’s degree in secondary education. She is a member of the First Christian Church where she serves on the church board as an Elder and chairperson of the Membership Department. Her parents, Charles and Jerry Turner, still live in Ponca City. Her sister, Karen and her family reside in Conway, Ark. Turner enjoys her role as coordinator of volunteer services, because she feels SJRMC volunteers have a lot to offer. “Volunteers play a big part in the hospital mission by assisting patients and their families in many different ways during a hospital stay,” she said. Hospital volunteers, Turner pointed out, also assist the hospital staff in many service areas. “Volunteers play a vital role in the day-to-day operation of SJRMC and they are dedicated to serving the hospital,” she pointed out. “We at SJRMC are proud of our volunteer staff and our volunteer history. It is a pleasure to work with such hard working, dedicated people.” Anyone interested in learning more about volunteering at SJRMC can contact Turner at 765-0508. Policeman Talks Man Down From High Radio Tower MondayA Ponca City police officer remained calm under pressure Monday evening and as a result, a 43-year-old man ended threats of jumping from a high radio tower in the northwest part of the city. The Communications Center received a call at 7:12 p.m. Monday that a man had climbed to the top of a radio tower in the 1000 block of North First Street, threatening to jump. Two officers of the police department responded immediately, and upon arrival realized additional help would be needed to talk to the man. Within minutes, the officers summoned Ptlm. Dale Henshaw, who has been trained in negotiations, not only for those in distress but hostage type situations. Henshaw, who was not on duty at the time, arrived on the scene shortly and was able to talk the man into returning to the ground, where he was taken to St. Joseph Regional Medical Center for evaluation. Police later took the man to Eastern State Hospital in Vinita. Pay to Play Sports Gets 5 to 1 Board OKBy KRISTI HAYES News Education Editor Seventh graders will have access to an after school pay-to-play sports program for the 1998-99 school year. The item was approved by a vote of 5-1, with Andrea Morriss opposing. Assistant Athletic Director Dan McGregor, proposed the program at the meeting. He said that beginning with basketball, the program will have an initial round-robin intramural league play, followed by a select team playing other schools. This model was used by the girls’ program in previous years. In 1999, football would be added. Some of the other sports the group will add include volleyball, tennis, cross country, golf, track and wrestling. The district will provide coaching stipends and travel expenses. Each athlete would pay $30 to $35 per sport for equipment and uniform expenses. Scholarships would be available for families who could not afford to pay. McGregor said that about $2,000 has already been raised. All practices and games will be after school hours. The district’s cost is estimated at $15,000. Fund raisers and student playing fees should provide $10,000 to $12,000. Also on Monday’s agenda was deciding on the location of sixth, seventh and eighth graders. At the August board meeting, the board voted the future middle school configuration to be sixth and seventh grades at one site and eighth grade in a stand-alone facility once the ninth graders move to the high school. Members approved having the sixth and seventh graders at the west site and eighth graders at the east site. The sixth graders will not move to the west site until renovation is complete. The motion was 5-1, with Steve Stalcup voting no. Stalcup said he voted no because having the sixth graders at the west site would mean building new classrooms at approximately $1.5 million. Approval was given for an interest survey for an all-day Enrichment Summer School Program at Union Elementary for the summer of 1999 on a per-student fee basis. The survey will be given to parents and teachers to find out the desire for the program. The Enrichment Summer School Program would offer a 40-day, six-hour summer school for the summer of 1999. The tuition will be on a sliding scale with limited scholarships for students who qualify for free lunch (Title I). The curriculum will be enrichment options for parents who might otherwise be paying for summer day care. The district contribution should include transportation ($10,000), administration/clerical ($5,000), and scholarships for needy students ($5,000). Change order two for vehicular traffic improvements at the elementary schools was accepted. The district needs to paint fire lane stripes on each of the new construction projects at Liberty, Trout and Woodlands. Board members approved a revision on the dress code at secondary schools. Shorts worn at the secondary level must now be at or below the middle of the thigh. The renewal agreement with Energy Education Inc. for the continuation of the Energy Conservation Management Services was accepted. The original agreement with Energy Education Inc., was initiated Oct. 1, 1996, and was designed for renewal consideration each year for four years. The total payment for the first year was $77,400. The payment for the next two years is for the total of $51,600 each year with the final year’s payment to be $25,800. Approval was given to an agreement with First Baptist Church for reimbursement of expenses resulting from the Teen-Pep program. The program, located at the First Baptist Church, requires a number of various services that are unique to that program. This agreement allows the district to reimburse the First Baptist Church for the cost of providing the various needed services and costs such as utilities, cleaning supplies/services, and consumable items. The reimbursement of $18,000 comes from the Alternative Education Grant. Members decided on an agreement with the Child Development Center for a four-year-old program. The agreement with the Child Development Center is for the development of a four-year-old program located within the center. The district will provide two teachers and will reimburse the Child Development Center for the $8,000 cost of a teachers’ assistant. The center will also provide two classrooms to house the all day four-year-old program for 30 students. An athletic cooperative agreement with Blackwell Public Schools for swimming for the 1998-99 school year was unanimously approved. Blackwell has one swimmer who will compete with Ponca City. If she qualifies for the state meet, she must represent Blackwell as a one person team. The support salary schedules for the 1998-99 school year was approved with all support personnel advancing one step on the salary scale. Everyone who is off the top of the salary schedule will receive a one-time $500 stipend. The administrators’ salaries were approved with everyone advancing one step on the salary schedule. Dr. Bill White, Superintendent of Ponca City, reported on Garfield Academy during the superintendent’s report. Current enrollment at Garfield is at 224 plus 20 four-year-olds at the Child Development Center. White said that enrollment numbers are starting to decline at the school and may fall below 200 over the next few years. Mini Fair Fund Raiser for RSVP MembersRetired Senior Volunteers Program members are gearing up for what they hope to be an annual fund raiser — Golden Entertainment — a mini fair to host venders from Ponca City and surrounding areas.

See You at the Pole Theme For Such a Time as ThisMore than 3 million teenagers are expected to pray on their campuses before school on Wednesday observing the eighth annual See You at the Pole — National Day of Student Prayer. Local students will participate around the Northern Oklahoma area as well. The theme for See You at the Pole 1998 is “For Such a Time as This.” The phrase refers to the story of the Jewish Queen, Esther (Esther 4:14), who interceded for her people before the Persian king to save the Jews from destruction in 473 BC. Many students believe the threats in that ancient time and the spiritual dangers facing our nation today are worth comparison, prompting them to pray to God, as the Jews did in the story of Esther. The tragic shootings at high schools and junior high campuses in the past school year, resulting in the untimely deaths of more than a dozen children and teachers, highlight the danger students face when they walk on the school grounds each day. Many young people have responded with renewed spiritual fervor; the daily prayer meetings in Paducah, Ky. grew from around 340 or more than 130 after a shooting incident on Dec. 1, 1997. See You at the Pole is a student-initiated and student-led movement that began in Texas in 1990 with a single church youth group. It grew to more than 3 million by 1997. Youth in all 50 states and 17 countries on five continents participated last year, including six countries of Europe. Reports were also sent in from Ivory Coast, Turkey, Japan, Malaysia, Guam and Australia. Ponca City High School, Mid High and Middle School students will meet Wednesday morning at 7 a.m. for doughnuts and then prayer at 7:30. In Blackwell, the High School and Middle School will meet at 7 a.m. Tonkawa High School and Middle School will meet at 7 a.m. with a breakfast following at First Baptist Church. Newkirk High School will meet at 7:45 a.m. All schools in Braman will meet at 7:45 a.m. In Ponca City there will be a special adult prayer rally Wednesday starting at 7:15 a.m. with muffins and prayer at 7:30 a.m. at the Centennial Plaza. This is the first year for the adult rally in Ponca City. Christian radio KLVV 88.7 FM will take live calls from area students during their morning show Wednesday. KLVV also sends in the area report to the National headquarters to See You at the Pole and encourages all participants to call them their results. Their number is 580-767-1400 or 1-800-FAITH 88.

Defending Champions Returning To Cherokee Strip BBQ Cook-offBy LOUISE ABERCROMBIE News Business Editor Ponca Citians Terry and Marilyn Middlebusher, Oklahoma State Barbecue Champions, will be returning to the Cherokee Strip Cook-off Saturday at Wentz Camp to defend their title. Although the dynamic duo have only been in the barbecue arena seriously for about 18-months, they have been racking up a record number of wins with their “We Be The Pits” team. Their entry in the cook-off here will be sponsored by Unitherm Food Systems Inc., manufacturers of stainless steel industrial cookware. Middlebusher, who was recently employed by the firm as a sales rep, will be acquiring a new title shortly, when Unitherm produces a new stainless steel barbecue cooker. When the unique cooker goes on the market, Terry will become vice president/barbecue. Although the new cooker will not be ready for the Ponca City event, it is expected to be ready to roll when Middlebusher takes to the road to compete at “Wings Over Houston.” Plans are to enter about 20 cook-offs and trade shows this year under Unitherm sponsorship. The future stainless steel cookers, now being built by Unitherm, are to be certified by the National Sanitation Restaurant Association. Middlebusher said, “We feel like there is a real market because of safety. Unitherm manufactures food systems for USDA plants. This cooker we are going to take into a smaller market for restaurants, back yard cooks and catering.” Middlebusher said the cookers can be built into restaurants or mobilized with trailers. The cookers can be cleaned easily and they operate on rotary systems. He said they had looked for trailers in four different states to pull the new cooker and found the right company in Morrison, Okla. Terry grew up cooking and for a time he and Marilyn had a catering business. The secret to “We Be The Pits,” winning ways has been attributed to Danny Head’s world title winning spices and some secret moves the Middlebushers make with the grill. Head’s Country Barbecue has won numerous titles and the spices and sauce are manufactured right here in Ponca City and shipped around the nation. When Marilyn and Terry cook here at the event staged at Wentz Camp this Saturday, they’ll be entering all categories in the Kansas City Barbecue Society sanctioned event. The cook-off is hosted by Professionals Today and benefits Hospice of Ponca City. The first win Middlebusher tasted was when he went to Stillwater for a cook-off with Ponca city’s Vance Johnson of Stage Coach Barbecue. On Terry’s and Marilyn’s first entry here at the Cherokee Strip Cook-off, the official state barbecue championship, so designated by Gov. Frank Keating, they won the title by accumulating the most points. Terry, who does the cooking at home, says that cooking runs in his family, and his mother and sisters all cook for enjoyment and now his children are beginning to cook. Since winning in 1997, the Middlebushers have been on the road cooking barbecue and entering contests. One of the large shows coming up will be the National Poultry Show in Atlanta. They will also be attending the National Barbecue Convention in Orlando, Fla., in January and the Oklahoma Midwest Region in the spring. Donations Provide Protective ClothingBy LOUISE ABERCROMBIE News Business Editor A volunteer fire fighting unit in Chile is safer through the efforts of a Bartlesville engineer Robert Perry, who works on contract for Conoco, and Howard Merner, a Bulwark representative, doing business with Conoco and its contractors. The donation of four dozen flame resistant Nomex coveralls came about after Perry told Merner of the need he observed in Chile. Perry and others from the Encouraging Word Church of Bartlesville were in Chile building a small church, and the people they were staying with were members of the volunteer fire department. Perry said that the workers did their regular jobs and then volunteered for the fire department. He also learned that only one of the firefighters had any flame resistant clothing. The captain of firemen’s group asked Perry if he could help get them some flame resistant clothing. When Perry returned to the states and to Ponca City, he explained the need to Merner, regional sales representative for Bulwark, based out of Dallas. Merner and Bulwark, a Red Kap Industries Business, came through, and now 36 firefighters in Chile are safer because two individuals and a company cared. Three of the volunteer firefighters, who might have been saved if they had the proper clothing, had been killed previously in the line of duty, . Merner says that the firm also gives discounts to rural fire fighting units. He noted the clothing was basically for flash fires and not for fire fighting. An interesting side note is that Nomex that goes into the makeup of the coveralls is made by DuPont. The fabric is a unique blend of DuPont Nomex, Kevlar, and inherently static resistant carbon fibers. All workers in the Ponca City refinery here are supplied with fire protection apparel, which is required whenever they enter the Conoco refinery gates. Chamber Offers Help for Y2K PreparationsPonca City Area Chamber of Commerce has already started work to ensure that its business partners are ready for the year 2000.
