So Proudly We Hail
AMERICANS TAKE time today to honor the veterans, living or dead, of all
passed wars. Today is Veterans Day, originally established as Armistice
Day. On Nov. 11, 1918, fighting in World War I came to an end with the signing
of an armistice between the Allies and Germany. These monuments, saluting
veterans of World War I, World War II, Korea and Vietnam, are located at
Huff-Minor American Legion Post 14, 407 West South Avenue. (News Photo by

St. Joseph's, Related Services Receive 3-Year Accreditation
In recognition of St. Joseph Regional Medical Center's outstanding service
performance, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations
(JCAHO) has awarded the Medical Center accreditation, with a score of 95
out of 100, ranking SJRMC in the top 18 percent of surveyed hospitals.
JCAHO accreditation is the most prestigious recognition a hospital can receive,
and currently, only 56 percent of hospitals in the state of Oklahoma report
accreditation by JCAHO.
Garry England, SJRMC president and chief executive officer, said, "This
excellent rating is a positive recognition of SJRMC's commitment to providing
quality care to the people of Ponca City, Kay County and surrounding areas."
England explained that the grid score reflects the results of the survey
of services in the organization. "All eligible components of hospital
care were surveyed and passed with high marks," continued England.
The score of 95 does not indicate an organization's ranking in relation
to others. Rather, the score indicates how well an organization measures
up against an absolute standard which reflects the level of performance
that every hospital would wish to meet.
Formed in 1951, the Joint Commission is dedicated to improving the quality
of the nation's health care through voluntary accreditation. England said
receiving the three-year accreditation from the nation's oldest and largest
accrediting body is a significant achievement.
"It's also very impressive that SJRMC received no recommendations for
areas needing improvements," said England. According to the 1996 JCAHO
Hospital Performance Report, 90 percent of accredited hospitals received
recommendations for improvement. A recommendation for improvement is provided
when an organization does not demonstrate adequate compliance with Joint
Commission standards.
"We're very pleased to receive these accreditations, and feel St. Joseph's
employees, physicians, volunteers and board have been recognized for their
outstanding performance," England said.
England added that three other service agencies affiliated with SJRMC received
accreditation from JCAHO as well. "St. Joseph Home Health Care (HHC),
St. Joseph Medical Equipment and St. Joseph Home Infusion Therapy received
a grid score of 94 out of a possible score of 100," said England. "We're
very pleased to have received such a high review of all our services."
The Joint Commission's on-site survey of SJRMC, HHC, Medical Equipment and
Home Infusion Therapy was completed over three days by a team of surveyors
in February. A detailed auditing of every element of health care was conducted.
"Above all, the national standards are intended to stimulate continuous,
systematic and organizational-wide improvement in an institution's performance
and the outcomes of care," says Charles Bair, executive vice president,
Division of Accreditation Operations, Joint Commission. "The community
should be proud that SJRMC and its special services are focusing on the
most challenging goal - to continuously raise quality to higher levels."
Saturday Fires Cause Damage At Structures
Firefighters responded twice Saturday morning to residential fires - one
that caused partial damage to a home in Ponca City and another that destroyed
a structure south of the Marland Y.
In the first fire, a 911 emergency call brought 13 firefighters and seven
units to a home in the 500 block of Virginia, where authorities suspect
a bathroom heater started the blaze. A smoke alarm prompted the 1:51 a.m.
call, and fire officials estimated $30,000 damage to the $150,000 house.
The second fire, reported at 8:38 a.m. Saturday, sent seven men and four
fire units to a residence three miles south of the Marland Y on Oklahoma
156. Firefighters from Marland and Ranch Drive were called, and Ponca City
assisted, but the house burned down, officials said.
The fire prompted several emergency calls to 911.

Editor, The News:
Vo-Tech Schools are a great place to receive valuable marketable skills
for those who cannot or do not want to go to college. This does not mean
these students do not need to be proficient in reading, writing and arithmetic.
Why is Vo-Tech involved in School-To-Work, K-14 including the development
of curriculum for all? One thing that bothers me is how School-To-Work had
been law for nearly two years before the average citizen had even heard
of it, myself included. Goals 2000, Outcome Based Education, School-To-Work
and Block Scheduling are all related.
It is crazy that in this great country we are dumbing down our children
with yet another experiment in education! In my opinion Goals 2000 will
be the biggest disaster in education in my lifetime. What started out to
improve education in our country has turned out to do just the opposite!
Another failed experiment! When will we ever learn to teach the basics first?
Why waste time and money experimenting at the students' expense?
There are many dedicated, great teachers out there having to put up with
things that no one should have to endure! Parents and Grandparents help
the teachers so they can teach our children to read! No child should be
promoted until he/she can read to his/her potential. There are very few
who cannot learn to read if properly taught and enough time and effort is
given by teachers, students and parents.
Parents, find out what your children are and are not being taught in school
today.
Change the minds of a generation of children a society. Goals 2000 is Social
Engineering.

Washington Wins District 6A-4 Title
By FRED HILTON
News Sports Editor
Stillwater ended Enid's Cinderella drive for the District 6A-4 title, but
couldn't catch Tulsa Washington.
Going into Friday night's regular season finale, Washington, Stillwater
and Enid were all 5-1 in district play. Washington had beaten Stillwater
27-16 back in the sixth week of the season. But Enid upset the Hornets,
20-18, two weeks later.
The final week's schedule was a perfect setup with Stillwater visiting Enid.
An Enid win would have given the Plainsmen the district title no matter
what Washington did against Sand Springs.
But the Pioneers and quarterback Matt Holliday foiled that ending by outlasting
Enid, 31-20.
Now all Washington had to do was take care of business against slumping
Sand Springs. The Hornets had little trouble with the Sandites, winning
34-7.
That left Washington with a 6-1 record in the district, 8-2 overall. Despite
being 9-1 overall and also 6-1 in district play, Stillwater had to settle
for second place. Enid finished third at 5-2, 6-4.
Sand Springs, which was 6-0 at one point, slipped into the No. 4 spot in
the playoffs at 4-3 (7-3) edging out Sapulpa, 4-3, (6-4) by virtue of a
24-21 win over the Chieftains back in Week 5.
Ponca City escaped the possibility of finishing in the league cellar with
a 17-14 overtime win over winless Shawnee. The Wildcats ended with a 2-5
mark, 5-5 overall, to finish sixth, behind Sapulpa, which escaped Bartlesville,
29-25, Friday.
Bartlesville was seventh at 2-5, 3-7 (losing a four-overtime 35-33 marathon
against Ponca City) while Shawnee again brought up the rear in the district.
In the first round of the playoffs this Friday, Washington plays host to
Broken Arrow (7-3), Stillwater is at home against Muskogee (7-3), Enid visits
Tulsa Union (9-1) and Sand Springs is at Jenks (9-1).
