NCC FARM BILLEDUCATION MEETINGMarch 21st - 8am
Raymond Frye Bldg320 N. Jefferson
Wellington, Kansas
Cherokee High School sophomore Avery Bagenstos will compete at the National Speech and Debate Associa-tion’s National Championship Tour-nament June 15-20.
Cherokee High School (CHS) soph-omore Avery Bagenstos will compete at the National Speech and Debate As-sociation’s (NSDA, formerly National Forensic League) National Champion-ship Tournament June 15-20 in Overland Park, Kan. Bagenstos earned his position on Oklahoma’s national team by placing at the West Oklahoma District Tourna-ment held March 6-8 at the University of Oklahoma in Norman.
“It’s a real honor to be chosen to
represent the state at Nationals,” coach Jason Paris said, “and it’s a remarkable achievement. We compete in two circuits, the OSSAA and what is now called the NSDA. The NSDA is a national circuit, and it’s open class, which means we’re going up against the best actors, speakers and debaters that the Oklahoma City met-ro-area schools have to offer. Each school gets a limited number of entries, so these kids are already the best of the best in round one. Making it all the way through the tournament and then being named to the national team is a terrific accomplish-ment, especially for a sophomore from a small, rural school where, I think, there is sometimes a perception that we can’t run with the big schools. People really have no idea how hard it is to qualify for nationals. It really is a big deal. It’s just huge.”
Cherokee was previously represented at the national championship in 2009 and 2011 by CHS graduate Garrett Starks. According to the NSDA website, “The NSDA National Tournament marks the capstone of high school speech and de-bate activities for nearly 120,000 students around the country. To attend, students must place among the top competitors at one of 110 district tournaments. Qualifiers compete for more than $200,000 in col-lege scholarships in a variety of speech, debate and performance events. The National Tournament moves to a differ-ent city each year, with upcoming events scheduled for Overland Park, Kan., and Dallas, Texas. Final rounds are judged by blue ribbon panels including chief execu-tive officers, former Cabinet members, stage and screen celebrities, sponsors and acclaimed community members.”
Bagenstos qualified with his dramatic interpretation “RFK,” by Jack Holmes. “RFK” uses transcripts, interviews, eye
witness accounts and Robert Kennedy’s own journals to construct a narrative of the last four years of the politician’s life. Bagenstos portrays Kennedy as he gives his final interview just before delivering his victory speech after the 1968 Califor-nia primary where he was assassinated. The dramatic interpretation deals with RFK’s views on Martin Luther King, Richard Nixon and the assassination of his brother, John F. Kennedy.
“I read this script,” Paris said, “and thought, ‘Wow, this would be great for Avery’s senior year.’ I didn’t really even consider doing it this year, but when I told Avery about it, he asked to read it, and then basically insisted we do it. I wasn’t sure he had the chops to pull off a character who actually existed, and whom people have strong feelings for. I said, ‘Look, this is the kind of piece that goes to nationals and does well, but let’s wait ‘til you’ve got a little more experi-ence under your belt.’ Well, that pretty much sealed the deal. He wouldn’t take no for an answer at that point, and it’s been a real pleasure watching him put this performance together. He’s recut the script several times, trying to get it just right, and he’s turned himself into an ex-pert on the life and times of Robert Ken-nedy. I can’t express how proud I am of his efforts, because it’s exactly what you hope comes out of this activity. His entire world view has expanded; he set a high goal for himself, and he did the work nec-essary, made the sacrifices necessary, to achieve it. I don’t think he’s gone a single day since he settled on this script without either working on the voice, accent and physicality of the man, or reading some-thing about RFK, or watching a docu-mentary. He’s really thrown himself into

By Yvonne MillerThe Burlington Board of Education
met for its March meeting last Thursday at 8 p.m. Members present were Terry Graham, Beth Guffy, Roger Allen, Allison Armbruster and Aaron Smith. Others present were Superintendent Glen Elliott, Principal Shane Feely and minutes clerk Linda Gordon. No guests attended.
Math teacher Sammie Kinsey submitted her letter of resignation, effective May 21, to the board. Board members expressed their appreciation for Kinsey’s year of teaching at Burlington and accepted her resignation. The board offically begins the search for a new math teacher for the 2014-2015 school year.
Land for Sale and School Improvements
The superintendent presented the board with a copy of an appraisal of the school-owned property at 302 N. Fourth St. in Burlington done by Ronald D. Eckhardt with Encompass. After some discussion, board voted to open the property to sealed bids. This will occur around April 22 to accomodate required advertising time. The board said the exact date of sale is at the discretion of Superintendent Elliott.
Burlington School is on Beckett Brothers Wood Floor Systems’ schedule for replacement of the gym floor this

summer, Elliott confirmed. This is for the work approved by the board at previous meetings. Principal Feely explained it will be a “floating floor” with spacers that allow “give.” This is much easier on athlete’s joints and better for longevity of the floor, he said.
Regarding new lighting for the gym, the superintendent said they’ve not been able to find a gym with the new LED lighting to see how well they work. He expressed concern that both the fluorescent lights and LED lights might be low enough that a stray basketball could hit them. Northwest Electric owner Darrel Kline couldn’t attend the meeting to give more input; therefore, the board has not yet taken action to replace the old gym lights.
The board again discussed the remodel of the music room to be the pre-K room. Elliott said three different contractors have expressed interest, but no actual bids were yet received.
Superintendent Elliott Reports on Variety of Subjects
Apprising the board of various bits of information, Superintendent Elliott said that 2013 Burlington High School graduate Brandon Gosselin was selected as one of the “Top 12 Freshmen” out of more than 4,000 freshmen students at the University of Oklahoma.
The OU President’s Award for Outstanding Freshmen is presented
to 12 selected individuals who have excelled in the areas of scholarship, character, leadership and service to the university community at the University of Oklahoma. This award is the highest honor bestowed to freshmen by the university community.
In Principal Feely’s report, he said that three of the six Alfalfa Electric Cooperative essay winners were from Burlington. Those students are Keyra Clark, Daniel Ross and Sadie Vore.
Superintendent Elliott said that Spanish teacher Veda Holt plans to try and resume her teaching duties March 25 after dealing with health issues this spring semester.
After returning to her board seat unopposed, Allison Armbruster attended a new board member workshop in Tulsa as a refresher, Elliott said. He announced there is an OSSBA District 2 meeting at Woodward Thursday, April 24, at 6:30 p.m. at the Woodward High Plains Technology Center’s Seminar Center.
Some students are participating in the Oklahoma City Stock Show this week during spring break..
Regarding the state of Oklahoma’s budget outlook, Superintendent Elliott handed out different articles, including “Challenges and Opportunities” from the Oklahoma School Advisory Council, written by David Blatt of the Oklahoma Policy Institute. Elliott also distributed a copy of an article that appeared in the Newsgram and an article written by former Oklahoma Governor, U.S. senator and current University of Oklahoma President David Boren.
Concession Stand Sees Good YearThe board expressed appreciation for
all those who donated food and money to the concession stand this year. They also thanked those who helped staff the stands. Through those donations and continued patronage, Burlington student and teacher groups saw more profit for their projects this year. This also left a larger balance in the concession account to begin next year. This allows for the first-time concessions set up and to replace items if needed. For example, the hot dog machine needs to be replaced.

By Lynn L. MartinSeveral months ago, my friends at
Radio Shack suggested I put together a column warning readers that people are getting telephone calls from “experts” telling them they have a virus on their computer and they need to allow these so-called experts to remotely remove
the virus for a fee of several hundred dollars. So I did, indeed, write such a column.
Last week, I heard a couple of tales from others saying relatives of theirs had been victimized by the “you’ve got a virus” scam to the tune of about $400 each. One fellow not only allowed them to sabotage the home desktop comput-er, but then offered up his wife’s laptop for “fixing” while they were online. Of course, she was furious.
The latest version is a small pop-up the computer picks up that flashes a screen saying something like “virus found,” and posts an 800 number to call for removal services. When the victim calls that number, the con artists convince them to download a program that will help with the removal. Then the screen is filled with a fake movie that appears to show all sorts of viruses
Alvans continue to be ripped off by Internet predators
and directories being “cleaned” and disappearing in the fake clean-up ef-fort.
For many years this type of scam did not involve making a phone call, but rather a pop-up window offering to scan your computer for free, and, of course, the program always finds a virus and then wants your credit card number so they can sell you a program to repair your computer.
In fact, I found such a warning on one of my computers this morning. The “courtesy scan” had been accomplished without any input from a human. When I clicked the X in the upper right corner to close it out, a message appeared that said, “We found 6,124 problems on your computer. Are you sure you want to quit without fixing them?”
What is really bad about these fake warnings is many of them counterfeit the logos of trusted anti-virus business-es such as Norton, McAfee and AVT. (There are dozens of other brands also.)
The price of $400 to remove virus-es from your computer is outrageous. Heck, you can purchase a new comput-er for that amount these days.
One lady I talked to had taken her computer to Staples (because she bought it there) and they charged $170 to remove viruses and malware.
If you will stick with local busi-nesses, you can save tons of money.
Adam Swallow charges $35 per hour. I asked him what the typical bill was and he said it was from $35 - $70.
I asked Randy Barrett at Radio Shack and they charge a flat $75. In either case, I would say that is for rela-tively simple virus infections.
Brody Schmidt at SPI charges about $130. He charges this much because unlike his competitors he removes the hard drive from the infected com-puter and puts it in his own computer.Schmidt says he backs up the drive and keeps the drive for three days as part of his price.
Occasionally I handle computers with virus problems, and if after run-ning a couple of my clean-up programs it is still running at a snail’s pace, my approach is to put in a new C drive and start from scratch. After I get it up and running like new, then I install the old C drive as a second hard drive so that the data is still available. This approach requires having the original programs discs available.
I am so fed up with reconfiguring hard drives from scratch that last sum-mer I had granddaughter Kat Kuhlmann go through the 20 or so computers at the newspaper, pull the boot-drives and duplicate them to another hard drive, and then reinstall the original and leave the copied drive un-hooked up, lying in the case of the computer. That way if the boot drive dies or is eaten up with malware, I can uninstall it, slip in the copy drive, and be whole again very quickly. Hard drives are rather cheap these days and do not cost more than a good virus clean-up job.

By Tim Marshal, County AgentThe Barber County 4-H livestock
judging teams successfully competed at two contests recently in Kiowa and Newton, Kan,.
At the South Barber FFA Invitational contest on Feb. 26, the senior team of Cade Lonker, Cody Jahay, Taylor Paxson and Sierra Cargill won their division with a final score of 1,280 and individual placings of first, fourth, sixth, and eighth place respectively. In the intermediate division, the team of Tyce Lonker, Bianca Lewis, Kirk Fisher and Carson Cargill placed second with a score of 1,209 and individual placings of second, fifth, sixth, and ninth respectively. Others competing in the intermediate division were Allie Hoch (10th), Payton Lewis and Trevor Rooks. In the beginner division, Jessica Jahay placed fifth.
On a cold and icy March 1st morning, the teams traveled to Newton for the Newton FFA Invitational Livestock Judging Contest. After evaluating eight high quality but challenging classes and presenting two sets of oral reasons, both teams came home with first-place awards.
In the intermediate division, the team of Payton Lewis, Tyce Lonker,
Kirk Fisher and Carson Cargill initially tied for first place with a score of 1,078 but were awarded the first-place team plaque after the tie was broken on oral reasons scores. Individually, Payton Lewis led the team with a score of 371 and was the first High Individual in the division. Tyce Lonker placed third with a 357 score and Kirk Fisher and Carson Cargill finished in fifth and ninth place respectively with scores of 350 and 322.
In the junior division, the team of Cade Lonker, Taylor Paxson and Bianca Lewis were named the first-place team with a score of 1,161. Individually, Cade Lonker and Taylor Paxson finished the day as the first and second High Individuals in the division with impressive scores of 427 and 396 respectively.
Sierra Cargill was the only Barber County entry in the senior division and ended up placing just out of the top 10 with a solid score of 360.
The Newton Invitational Livestock Judging Contest is a favorite among the livestock judging kids each year because it is a high quality contest and awards a very nice belt buckle to the winner of each age division. Cade Lonker and Payton Lewis would
like to acknowledge the Newton FFA Chapter and offer a public thank you in appreciation of the buckles they received.

From Page 2 Nationalsthis project wholeheartedly, and it paid off in a big way at dis-tricts.”
Bagenstos, already an all-stater in track and theatre, began working on the script in the fall. “I didn’t really even know who RFK was,” he said, “I mean, I knew about JFK, but I wasn’t re-ally aware of Bobby. But now after I’ve spent all year studying him, I can’t believe more people don’t talk about him. He was so important to everything during the Kennedy administration, especially on civil rights issues. He was a giant, and it’s an honor to get to portray him and maybe introduce him to people my age I’m competing against.”
Students competing at NSDA Districts go through several rounds of double-elimination competition until eight or fewer students remain in the competition. Any time judges rank com-petitors in the bottom half of the round, they receive a “down.” After two downs, the competitor becomes disqualified from the tournament.
“It’s the most intense and stressful tournament of the year,” Paris explained, “That’s partially because it’s open-class, so we’re trying to knock out these powerhouse performers from places like Norman and Edmond, who compete on the nation-al circuit all year, and it’s also because in the two preliminary rounds, there’s only one judge. After that it’s a panel, but with those first two rounds, you’re just praying you get a judge who likes it. In Avery’s case, he pulled a judge in round two who ranked it in the bottom half, which is fine because we’re talking about the performing arts, here. But that ‘down’ meant that every round after that was do or die. I have to say, for a sophomore to have the poise and composure to take that down and still make it all the way to finals, and ultimately nationals, is amazing. He just knew that each round had to be his best round ever, and he pulled it off. That took a maturity and professionalism that I find really inspiring.”
In addition to Bagenstos, CHS enjoyed some success in de-bate at districts as well. Coach Lance Leslie saw senior cross-examination debaters Whitney Cloyd and Hayden Clem, as well as sophomore Lincoln-Douglas debater Shelby Bender, into the third round of competition. CHS freshman Cameron McGee also made it to the third round in Original Oratory. Freshmen Joseph Wagner and Brandon Antonio and sophomores Dakota Yandle and Savanna Eshleman also attended the tournament.
“So now we move on to OSSAA regionals and state,” Paris said, “and the team looks pretty good. Coach Leslie and I are both excited about what lies ahead for the Chiefs’ forensics team. Af-ter that, Avery will start working on his Nationals performance, and we’ll see what happens. No matter what, though, I think it’s great that both Cherokee and the state will be represented by a pretty remarkable kid this summer. We have a lot to be proud of.”

By Marione MartinA highway patrol trooper arrived at the scene of a reported
accident where he found a vehicle but no driver. According to court records, Trooper Darrin Lancaster went on duty at 4 p.m. Saturday, March 8, when he was contacted by Troop J Headquarters about a one-vehicle accident that had been called in about 2:53 p.m.
When Trooper Lancaster arrived at the location on Harmon Road, 1.3 miles east of State Highway 38 in Alfalfa County, he found a four-door car had traveled through a five-wire fence and was lying on the passenger side. Alfalfa County Deputy Gary Mast drove up and said the land belonged to Walt Ioerger. He said the driver had walked to John Stall’s residence and Stall took him home. Lancaster asked Mast to go to the driver’s residence and pick him up.
Deputy Mast arrived back at the scene with the driver, later identified as Ricky Carl Segura, 48, of Jet. Mast told Lancaster he observed an odor of an alcoholic beverage about the driver’s person.
Lancaster checked Segura’s driver’s license and observed an odor of an alcoholic beverage about his person, and his eyes were red and bloodshot. Lancaster confirmed that Segura had been the driver of the vehicle and that he was not hurt. He said he was driving home when a deer ran

By Rebecca KinneyThe Alfalfa County commissioners will likely install a 120 KW generator after
visiting via conference call with an electrical engineer from the Guernsey firm. Suf-ficient capacity is needed to power the jail, sheriff’s area, elevator, building lights and basement area. They are still working on getting the cost of a screen down to cover the big unit.
An item labeled only as “airport board” was on the agenda. The commission-ers decided that next week they will come up with who they will put on the airport board.
The Alfalfa County burn ban was continued. The fire departments in the county are concerned that it is still very dry and want the burn ban continued.
A firm wanted to review the last three-years of utility bills and if they find any overcharges and rebates are collected, their fee would be to split the proceeds with the county 50-50. There is no fee if nothing is found. The commissioners
authorized an agreement to start auditing the bills.The commissioners approved disposing of a Savin copier from the assessor’s
office and a 2004 Nutall Lowboy detachable trailer. The trailer was sold at CED auction.
Bids were opened for fire pumps. Chief Fire and Safety of Chickasha bid $23,200. The low bid – $21,358 from Catskill Industries – was accepted.

out in front of him and he swerved to miss it and rolled the vehicle. When Lancaster asked what time it happened, Segura said earlier this morning. Asked what time, he said about an hour to an hour and a half ago, which placed it around 4 p.m. Lancaster asked if it happened around 2 p.m. and Segura said yes somewhere in that time. He told the trooper he had been driving around 35 or 40 mph.
Lancaster asked Segura if he had anything to drink since the accident, and he said only water. After some standardized field tests, Lancaster obtained consent for the state’s blood test and took Segura to Share Medical Center in Alva. Segura asked to go ahead and get checked out since he was going to the hospital. After drawing blood the hospital staff tended to Segura’s head and placed eight staples in his scalp. Trooper Lancaster then took him to the Alfalfa County Jail for booking.
On March 13 in Alfalfa County District Court, Segura was charged with a misdemeanor of driving while under the influence.

By Yvonne MillerAt the March meeting of the Kiowa
City Council, members considered numerous issues, from making needed improvements to the water well house to street work options.
Mayor Brandon Farney presided over the meeting with four other councilmembers present, including Mark Lambert, Tom Wells, R.L. Simpson and Bill Watson. Councilmember Russell Molz was absent. City Administrator Nathan Law, City Attorney Laurel McClellan and City Clerk Marlo Rugg also sat at the table.
As the meeting began with the public agenda, downtown business owner Steve Walz said he sees the need for a marked pedestrian walkway of some type on Main Street. He listed numerous examples of seeing people, many of whom are elderly, attempting to cross the street and having a hard time with all the traffic.
“We’ve got to slow traffic down and make it safe,” Walz said of the street, which is a state highway. “It is an issue.”
Representing the Cannonball Chapter of the American Red Cross, Linda Buchmueller told of the many things they do to support this area in emergencies. “We are here to support you. We are not a government agency and rely on donations,” she said. She presented Mayor Farney with a proclamation, which he signed, designating March as
Red Cross Month. City Donates to Tree Board, Sets
Arbor Day for April 25 Kiowa Tree Board members Carra
Mayberry, Carolyn McGinley and Bev Miller, whose term runs until 2016, attended the council meeting. They requested that longtime member Melvin Conrad be reappointed as an honorary member for a 2014-17 term. The council approved Mayor Farney’s appointment of Conrad. Other Tree Board members are Fred Gillig, Sharon Kimmell and Mike McGinley, whose term ends in 2015.
For the 18th consecutive year, Kiowa received the National Tree City USA award. During those years the city has planted 168 trees and bushes, for a total cost of $5,743. Additionally, Miller chairs the downtown beautification project, which has another $548 cost to date.
Miller plants and cares for pots of flowers and plants that she places in front of businesses. She thanked longtime chamber president Bob Hays for his help with the project, which will begin soon for spring. She thanked the council for the bowling alley demolition. She said it definitely helps beautify the downtown.
Mayor Farney signed a proclamation designating April 25 as Kiowa’s Arbor Day when Tree Board members plant with the help of South Barber FFA members. The Tree Board also gives
fifth graders a lesson on planting and gives each student a packet of seeds to take home.
The council voted to give the Tree Board $400 for upcoming projects.
Burn Period and Bi-Annual Trash Days
The council set the burn period for inside City of Kiowa limits for March 14-30. This is not for trash, just yard waste. Residents will still need to check with Barber County for burn ban advisories due to such issues as wind and dry conditions.
The spring Bi-Annual Trash Days are April 3 and 10. The north half of town’s disposal date is April 3. The date for the south half is April 10. Law reminded people these disposal days are for bulk trash items. No appliances, tires or construction materials are allowed. If those items are put along the curb they will be left there or a charge will be assessed at the discretion of city employees picking up the waste.
Street Improvement OptionsLaw discussed a variety of street
repair and improvement treatments beyond chip/seal. Some paving methods are more costly, but necessary to preserve streets, according to Law and City Superintendent Gary Johnson. Law showed the council a detailed video about potential projects, such as restructuring with concrete slurry. This is the latest, most popular method and costs about a third of other paving, Law said.
At the meeting, Law said the estimated cost for 10 blocks of restructured streets

would be $214,712. On Tuesday, he said that figure will most likely be closer to $250,000.
Law briefly discussed financing, and mentioned bonds. Law said the city should generate about $99,000 for the street project from the voter-approved sales tax increase that goes into effect April 1. For many years, Kiowa’s sales tax was 7.3 percent and for a short time dropped to 7.13 percent. In April Kiowa’s sales tax will rise to 7.9 percent.
Councilmember Lambert said a few times that he does not want to increase property tax.
The council directed Law and Johnson to go forward with gathering cost estimates for street improvements.
Water Well House Issues and Improvements
Law reported that in the last several weeks there have been a number of major issues at the well house at the city’s water wells near Sharon that supplies Kiowa’s water supply. Many of the problems are electrical, which caused Law to consider having all the electrical wiring replaced entirely.
The council gave Law the go-ahead to seek cost estimates and bids as necessary for all the work listed in his report for these water well house issues and improvements.
Improving Kiowa’s ISO RatingThe Insurance Services Office (ISO)
inspects local entities and gives a public protection classification (PPC) rating,
which is on a scale of 1 to 10 with a 1 being the best. Ultimately, these class ratings affect local insurance rates based on fire response capabilities.
Currently Kiowa has a ISO rating of PPC 6. While Kiowa has a first-rate volunteer fire department, the town can’t get a better ISO rating without significant improvement to the city water distribution system. Some of the options are extending water mains and making general improvements. Law said these costs could easily exceed $100,000.
The administrator recommends the council consider what improvements take priority at this time. The issue can be included in Planning Commission consideration for future capital improvement projects.
Turner Youth and Other Council Business
On behalf of the Turner Youth organization, Mike Anderson asked if the city will take over the receipt and disbursement of Turner Youth funding. Currently South Central Community Foundation (SCCF) oversees it. The city offers the same tax-exempt benefits offered by SCCF. Anderson said the work involved in oversight is minimal.
The council approved the city taking on financial oversight responsibilities of Turner Youth.
As South Barber High School’s Project Prom is at the Hardtner Community Center, the council voted to donate $50 to Project Prom. When
the event is at the Kiowa Community Building, the city usually waives the $50 rental fee.
The purchase of front double doors for the Kiowa pool received council approval. Law said the cost is $2,200 and will be paid from the pool budget in the general fund.
Law said the office is setting up the bank account and the contract documents for the FLEX program. The council approved the necessary electronic signatures. The administrator listed numerous ongoing projects in his monthly report.
Police Chief Steven Johnson reported more youth and adults are wearing seatbelts since the police did their awareness campaign.
Under council items, Lambert said he heard the railroad is going to put in a third track going through the Kiowa area. Attorney McClellan said he knows the appraisal process is underway now.

Six seniors from south central Kansas high schools will be recognized for their academic achievements and named Kansas Honor Scholars at a 6:30 p.m. dinner and program at Kingman High School, 260 W. Kansas, Kingman, Kan., on April 9 by the University of Kansas (KU) Alumni Association and KU endowment.

Area honorees include:• Scott Beecher of Medicine Lodge,
Kan. Beecher is a senior at Medicine Lodge High School.
• Sarah Eck of Sharon, Kan. Eck is a senior at Medicine Lodge High School.

• Kiera Yates of Kiowa. Yates is a senior at South Barber High School.
During the ceremony, each student will receive a Webster’s New College Dictionary and a commemorative
KU to honor high school seniors from south central Kansas counties

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma court on Tuesday rescheduled a pair of executions set for this week and next so state prison officials will have more time to find a supply of drugs for the lethal injections.
The decision came in a lawsuit in which two inmates had sought more information about the drugs that would

be used to execute them later this month. The inmates had sought a stay of their executions, but the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals said that request was moot because the state Department of Corrections doesn’t have enough drugs on hand to carry out their death sentences.
“The attorney general’s attestations give this court no confidence that the state will be able to procure the necessary
drugs before the scheduled executions are carried out,” the court wrote.
Oklahoma and other states that have the death penalty have been scrambling for substitute drugs or new sources for drugs for lethal injections after major drugmakers — many based in Europe with longtime opposition to the death penalty — stopped selling to prisons and corrections departments.
While the judges didn’t rule on the merit of the inmates’ stay request, they pushed their executions back a month — Clayton Lockett to April 22 and Charles Warner to April 29.

“We were hoping for a stay until the district court can rule, but this effectively gives us that,” Seth Day, one of the lawyers for the inmates, said in a telephone interview. “The district court will render their ruling before those dates.”
Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt said he is upset the executions have been delayed, but said Warner and Lockett will ultimately still be punished for their crimes.
“This delay is not about the facts of the case, nor does it seek to overturn the convictions of these two murderers. Instead, it’s about outside forces employing threats, intimidation and coercion to keep the state of Oklahoma from imposing the punishment handed down for these heinous crimes,” Pruitt said. “It’s not a matter of if these punishments will be carried out, but it is only a matter of when.”
Lockett, who was to be executed Thursday, was found guilty in the 1999 shooting death of a 19-year-old Perry woman. Warner was set to be executed on March 27 for the 1997 rape and murder of his girlfriend’s 11-month-old daughter.
In their lawsuit, Lockett and Warner said they feared the drugs to be used might be contaminated and cause them undue harm, in violation of a constitutional guarantee against cruel or unusual punishment. A hearing in Oklahoma County District Court is set for March 26 on whether it’s proper for the state to keep execution procedures behind a “veil of secrecy.”
“We are relieved that the OCCA’s decision allows Mr. Warner and Mr. Lockett to proceed on their constitutional challenge to Oklahoma’s execution-secrecy law and execution protocol,” Madeline Cohen, a federal public
defender who previously represented Charles Warner, said. “We hope that no execution will go forward until we are able to obtain full information about how Oklahoma intends to conduct those executions, including the source of its execution drugs.”
In briefs filed with the Court of Criminal Appeals on Monday, the state attorney general’s office said prison officials were having difficulty finding pentobarbital, a sedative, and vecuronium bromide, a muscle relaxant. The state also uses potassium chloride to stop an inmate’s heart.
“The state declared it had pursued ‘every feasible option to obtain the necessary execution drugs’ but its ‘Herculean’ efforts so far had been unsuccessful,” the court wrote.
State lawyers warned that, if it is required to find different drugs, it would have to write a new execution protocol that would likely face another court challenge.
Judge Gary L. Lumpkin dissented Tuesday’s decision. He said the inmates had failed to meet their burden for a stay but said the court shouldn’t have granted a delay because the state hadn’t asked for one.

By Cliff Brunt, Ap Sports WriterNORMAN, Okla. (AP) — The
emcee at Oklahoma’s year-end banquet, Toby Rowland, paused to recall a recent conversation with coach Lon Kruger.
The “Voice of the Sooners” asked Kruger when he’d last been assessed a technical foul. Kruger paused, then said it was back when he coached the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks more than 10 years ago.
While demonstrative coaches fill the highlights and grab headlines, the 61-year-old Kruger remains in control. The only coach to take five different schools to the NCAA tournament has done it the same way each time — by using his calm demeanor, deep basketball knowledge and knack for cultivating relationships to get the most out of his teams.
“He never yells,” sophomore forward Ryan Spangler said. “He just knows how to coach people.”
Kruger took Kansas State to the Elite Eight in 1988, Florida to the Final Four in 1994 and UNLV to the Sweet 16 in 2007. Oklahoma went 15-16 his first year in 2011-12, then reached the NCAA tournament last season. This season, the Sooners cracked Top 25 for the first time since 2009 and have returned to the NCAA tournament. Oklahoma (23-9), the No. 5 seed in the West Region, opens tournament play Thursday against No. 12 seed North Dakota State (25-6) in Spokane, Wash.
Getting the team to this point might be one of Kruger’s better coaching jobs. Oklahoma was picked to finish in the middle of the pack in the Big 12 after losing its top three scorers from last season.
Mainstays blossomed and newcomers fit in. Guard Buddy Hield more than doubled his scoring average as a sophomore and led the team with 16.8 points per game. Clark, the only senior starter, averaged 15.3 points per game. Spangler, a transfer from Gonzaga, averaged 9.8 points and 9.4 rebounds per game while shooting 59 percent from the field. Isaiah Cousins, a sophomore, averages 10.8 points and spearheads the team’s perimeter defense. Freshman point guard Jordan Woodard averages 10.3 points and 4.7 assists.
Even with the youth and new faces, the Sooners finished second in the Big 12 with no first-team All-Big 12 players. For that, Kruger was named the league’s Coach of the Year.
“I just think he got everybody to buy in, just buying in with hard work, just going hard and doing everything on the defensive end,” Clark said.”
Kruger said this team’s success is special because the squad needed unity to reach its potential, especially given the talent level of the rest of the conference. Seven of the 10 Big 12 teams earned NCAA tournament bids.
“I think it was obvious from the start
that this group was going to invest and put the time in,” he said. “That’s a great starting point. They really like each other. They like making plays for each other. Combine that with the investment of time, and you’ve got a chance to make good things happen.”
Though Kruger is accomplished, the players say the interactions with him trump everything. His basketball knowledge allows him to speak quietly, yet still get his point across.
“The first time I’d seen him in practice drawing on a board — it’s crazy how smart he is,” Spangler said. “That made me respect him right then.”
That respect allows Kruger to speak softly.
“He’s the type of guy you want to listen to,” Spangler said. “You don’t want to upset him or make him mad at you, so all of our team, we just listen to whatever he says. Obviously, he’s right most of the time.”
Kruger transfers the knowledge to results by helping the players bond.
“He gets us as a team to play together,” Hield said. “I think him doing that, bringing us together, even eating together, stuff like that — little things like that help us win.”
Even with a low volume, Kruger pushes his team. Oklahoma started the season winning by posting high point totals, but Kruger knew that to compete in the Big 12, the Sooners would have to play better defense. In practice and in news conferences, the message was the same. Finally, the Sooners got it, and the wins followed. Oklahoma finished with a 12-6 record in conference play.
“He’s been harping on us all season about defense, and we finally listened to him the last month of the season because he knows what he’s talking about, and we really bought into what he’s talking about,” Spangler said.
Both at the banquet and at his media session after the NCAA tournament selections were announced, Kruger deflected credit.
“It’s been a fun group,” he said. “It’s been fun to watch them make the progress. It’s been fun to watch them, as much as anything, buy into trusting each other to take care of respective responsibilities.”
Kruger quietly leads Oklahoma back to prominence

OAKLAND, Okla. (AP) — An Okla-homa City man and two children were killed and another child critically injured in a collision with a tractor-trailer rig in southern Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says the crash occurred about 9:30 a.m. Tues-day on U.S. 70 west of Oakland when the semi crossed the center line and struck the car driven by 29-year-old Todd Leonard.
Troopers say Leonard, a 3-year-old girl and a 1-year-old boy died in the crash while a 7-year-old boy was taken to an Oklahoma City hospital in criti-cal condition. The names of the children were not released.
Investigators say the truck driver was not injured and that the cause of the col-lision has not been determined.
The roadway was shut down for about 4½ hours following the crash.
