The Olney ISD School Board met on Aug. 31 in the administrative building to discuss, among other is-sues, the budget multiple topics which needed ap-proval for the year.

Superintendent Greg Roach talked about the value engineering of the junior high school construc-tion and how the district can save $220,000 if it takes advantage of the cost sav-ings. He spoke about how making certain parts of the

school becoming ADA-compliant costs the school more sometimes, such as was the case of a bathroom, which cost three times as much as a non-compliant one would have.

The 2015-16 budget was approved by the board and was tight and less than last years at a total of $8,594,559 with maintenance and op-erating at $7,766,956, caf-eteria at $342,928 and inter-est in sinking at $484,675, according to the business manager of Olney ISD, Jan

A discussion of the Tom Griffin Park and its public pool was brought up dur-ing the city council meeting on Aug. 24.

Two buildings need reno-vations, Codes Enforce-ment Officer Ronnie Cow-art explained. Both need new roofing, and the facility might need a new building altogether.

“The concession stand

sides are completely rotted out,” Cowart said. “If we don’t do anything, we will have to replace the pump house building.”

He also brought up that there has been seepage and some leaking at the commu-nity pool which the council decided would need some more investigation before they could discuss it at the next meeting.

BY THOMAS WALLNER

The Olney City Council meeting last week and went into discussions about a lack of water in Olney and the quality of water which was a main issue the council focused on. Throughout the city, there have been reports of odd-colored water with the occurrences happening in small, defined areas.

“The water meets all

TCEQ requirements,” May-or Phil Jeske said.

While nothing may not be physically wrong with the water, City Administrator Danny Parker brought up that the water color could be a chemical reaction with the chlorine or with the manganese and iron piping. The recent water line break on highway 79, Parker said might also influence the col-or of the water.

“The leak we had could

have lowered the pressure of the sys-tem,” he said.

Parker clarified that the break made the color of the wa-ter more of an issue and that the water processing plant itself was having some issue before-hand.

“I haven’t received any calls or complaints about it in awhile, so any of it

left should be pretty well straightened out,” Parker said in a follow-up.

Among some of the other reasons the water could

be discolored, Parker ex-plained, is that deadend mains, which had been holding water for a long period of time, got mixed in with the usable water.

As far as leaks go, Olney is prone to them, and, accord-ing to Parker, that is a nor-mal circumstance.

“Leaks are not uncommon especially when you have weather changes,” he said.

The demolition of the inside of the Olney Junior High School building and some of the first visual changes to the schools interior be-gan this week.

While the school goes through construction, the kids and administration for OJHS have been going about their first week in portable buildings. The school has six portable build-ings which house 11 classroom and an office administration area, for the 145 students on campus.

“They started arriving in May, and we got the final batch in June,” OJHS Principal Gunt-er Rodriguez said of the buildings. “There has not been a single thing in our program we have not been able to accommodate for.”

Rodriguez clarified that the athletic pro-

grams have not been affected by the tem-porary space since they take place in other buildings and that is also the same for the lunchroom because the school shares the el-ementary school cafeteria.

“The teachers are liking it so far;it’s a change of pace for them,” Rodriguez said. “It’s some-thing different for students and teachers, and when it’s cold, we will be a little colder, and when its wet, we will be a little wetter.”

Rodriguez said he believes that despite the accommodations the school is provided with and the inconveniences associated with them, it is ultimately the jobs of the staff and admin-istration to provide an exemplary education experience for all the students.

Parents and those who have children in school should not be concerned about the

“It’s fairly common in most if not all cities.”

The possibility of replac-ing the pipes is too expen-sive a task, he said.

“You are talking millions and millions of dollars to replace these pipes,” Park-er said. “It would be a big mess and also an inconve-nience for residents, but if it was something possible, we would do it.”

The city repairs these leaks with patches which are stainless steel clamps and, according to Parker, just like the pipes, the clamps sometimes will give way because of the movement underground.

The city responded fast

to the highway 79 leak on Aug. 18, and Parker said there are varying circum-stances as to how long or if the city can fix the leak.

“We try to respond as fast as we can unless there is some underlying circum-stances that may stop us like us not having the parts available to fix the leak,” he said.

So with the leak fixed and the water back to normal, there should be no more concerns about the discol-orations. However, since lines are prone to break be-cause of the ground mov-ing, the situation may come up again.

“When something can go wrong it usually does,” Parker said.

Cowart explained more in detail the nature of what is wrong with the pool and when it will be taken care of.

“There is a small hole in the center of the pool that upon tapping in an area, there is a void,” Cowart said.

Whether it could be a sink-hole or anything else possi-bly dangerous will have to be determined by testing.

Cowart said he believes that next year the city might get to the investigation on the pool after all the water is pumped out. The city leaves the water in the pool

year-round until the next year’s opening. Then, the water is pumped out and the pool repainted. They let it dry for a week before pumping water back in.

The city patched a small hole already this year suc-cessfully, and, according to Cowart, they were able to open with no problems for the summer.

Along with the small hole, there is the matter of the two buildings which are in a state of needing repairs.

“The concession stand roof needs to be replaced.

It has some rotted wood in-side of it,” Cowart said.

Also, the pump house roof is also showing signs of rot-ting and will need to be re-paired, he said.

“Besides that the fences are good, and everything else is good,” Cowart said.

The pool has daily checks for both its pH and chlorine levels to make sure they are up to par with a level that is safe.

“That hole in the pool is the main that will deter-mine whether we can con-tinue running this,” he said.

safety of their children with the temporary buildings, ac-cording to Rodriguez.

“Campus security is some-thing we want to be detailed about so that our students and staff our safe,” Rodriguez said. “We have put measures into place so that the school is secure.”

When visitors come to the school, they will not be au-tomatically admitted to any classrooms and teachers will not open doors for them. Visi-tor passes are a mandatory measure for all those who visit the school.

The school has also been given an app for phones and an application for computers that allows school employees to immediately notify law enforcement of any active threat.

One improvement the new junior high will have is that it will include more campus security with the use of timed door locks and cameras in-side and out to secure the building at all hours.

Along with security im-provements, the building will be getting renovations in the bathrooms, plus flooring and roofing, which was showing signs of age with leaks. An additional science lab and office suite for administra-

tion will be added, among changes to make the building aesthetically pleasing.

Right now the late summer conditions are fine, but with winter approaching and fu-ture rainy days, the portables could provide hiccups for the students and teachers.

“There will be things that will pop up that will be in-

convenient and we’ll be flex-ible to overcome these incon-veniences,” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez and the rest of the administration hopes to have the construction and renovation of the junior high done no later than May.

“The workers have been on-site since the beginning of this week, and they have

been making a lot of prog-ress,” Rodriguez said.

With the completion of the asbestos abatement, which started early this summer, the real demolition of the inside and renovation prog-ress can begin so that next year students will have a new junior high to call home.

Looking Back

Police BeatBy OPD Chief Barry Roberts, MPO

Here are a couple more safety tips I hope you will take to heart, please.

There is a old but good police phrase still floating around that says, “See Something Say Something.” The greatest crime pre-vention is people paying attention to things around them and reporting unusual activity.

It is impossible for police officers to be ev-erywhere at all times. If you see a strange car circling the block, call the police. Take note of vehicle color and make and tag number, if possible, but do not jeopardize your safety. If you see smoke coming out of a building, call 911. If you are walking and a vehicle is following you, turn and run the opposite direction.

If you are out driving and you feel like someone is following you, make two right hand turns then a left. If they are still be-hind you, call 911 and report your location and your concern. Keep driving and don’t stop. Do not stop for any reason. If they will not back off drive to the Police Department or Sheriff’s Office. If they are attempting to push you off the road and you cannot get to a law enforcement agency, drive up to a well-lit area, such as a convenience store, and start screaming for help. Stay in your vehicle and keep it locked. Do not get out until police arrive on the scene.

Call us if you need us. Your Olney Police Department is here to serve you.

Dear Editor,I encourage everyone to come out to the

Cub Stadium to support the young people of our community. I believe you will see a stronger and more confident team due to the program of Coach Young and his staff.

Many student athletes, and some parents, devoted their summer to daily workouts sessions. Monday and Wednesday was de-signed to build strength and stamina, while Tuesday and Thursday focused on speed and agility.

The coaches did not have to be at school for morning workouts and evening work-outs almost all summer and our kids didn’t have to be there either, but many of them were there on a regular basis.

Another reason to be at the Friday night games is to enjoy the musical performance of our POOHS (Pride of Olney High School) band. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett spend countless

hours planning the marching routine and teaching challenging music for the band programs. There are approximately 80 stu-dents in the band. If you missed the Spring Concert last school year, you missed an amazing performance from “Santa Wants a Tuba for Christmas,” to “Sound of Music” and “Ava Maria.”

The goal this year is not only to return to state but to win. Come out to encourage our students and to enjoy and appreciate what they are learning and their develop-ment as future leaders.

Thanks to Coach Young and his program and to the Bennetts’ musical program, for not only helping the young people set goals, but for helping students develop a plan to reach those goals.

I blame Dr. Oz for the mess I made last week. He is always bringing on guests who have

great ideas, but I’m not sure he’s really tried any of them. In order to save money, this poor woman with 15 children was told to plan ahead, buy vegetables in bulk,and freeze them for future use in items like spaghetti sauce and soup. She was to grind up the cheap squash, greens, tomatoes and such. They she was to store them in separate bags for the freezer.

Although I personally thought the woman should have come in for help long before she had 15 children, I was all for her getting some ideas.

She had some bad habits which included eating M&Ms after working all day as a man-ager of a restaurant and serving a lot of starchy meals at home. If I had 15 kids, I’d probably be putting the M&Ms under my pillow to keep the kids out of them. After working eight hours in a restaurant that served pancakes with every order, I thought a little spaghetti sounded healthy.

As a woman who really likes to buy veg-etables and seldom uses all of them before they are growing hair and dissolving into the bottom of the refrigerator drawer, I thought grinding up the vegetables and putting them in the freezer sounded like a fine idea. Upon checking my own drawers (no pun intended), I found five zucchini squash, two bell peppers, five onions, a shrunken garlic bundle and some carrots. Later I found a shriveled sweet potato and three lonely new potatoes.

I started with the zucchini. I drug out the food processor, which has been used about a dozen times in the four years it has occupied the lower cabinet space. I decided to slice the zucchini very thin. In seconds, I was through. The bell peppers quickly turned into Ara-bic calligraphy. Onions were quartered and zipped through the whizzing blade. Piece of

cake! This was fun. I decided to pulverize the carrots. Cutting

them into pennies seemed so blasé. I switched to the big blade, and within seconds those car-rots were baby food … sort of. I had quite an array of nutrients. Now that I had processed them, I wasn’t sure what I’d do with them. Bagging and leaving them to get freezer burn wasn’t much better than letting them grow hair in the drawer.

I decided to make spaghetti sauce. I got out the big pot. I put everything in together. I add-ed a container of vegetable broth and let it sim-mer. Half an hour later, I had a big pot of soft zucchini, bright-green pepper worms, trans-lucent onion commas, and carrot sludge... not spaghetti sauce. It needed something.

I got out my hand blender and ground the pot of “goodness” into a sauce concoction. It was green. I added a large can of tomato pu-ree. Now it was less green, but had no flavor. Spices add flavor, so I went to the spice rack: rosemary, garlic salt (the garlic pods were long dead), and several other spices. I left out the cinnamon and nutmeg. I might need them for something else.

To go along with the Dr. Oz theme, I added a healthy dose of tarragon and some “herbs du Provence.” It smelled better, but it didn’t look like spaghetti sauce. Even ladled over a small bowl of spaghetti, it didn’t look or taste like spaghetti sauce. It was still rather green, translucent, and odd. I ate it, some of it.

I learned several lessons from the experience. First, not all vegetables go together. Second, if offered “healthy, money-saving” spaghetti sauce, decline. And finally, items that have been thoroughly blended before and after they are cooked will slide right through the garbage disposal without a single hiccup.

Beware of doctors bearing gifts.

• Rev. W.C. Harding of Pasadena, Texas, was named to succeed Rev. C.G. Owen as pastor of the Assembly of God Church in Olney. Rev. Harding was a veteran of 14 years in the full-time ministry and was born in Huntsville and grew up in Hous-ton.

• A new addition to the western sky-line of the City of Olney was the new 250,000-gallon elevated water storage tank, which was nearing completion at midweek. The tank cost about $55,000 and was constructed by Chicago Iron and Bridge Company on Highland Drive.

Kelly Johanna Campbell and Jared Kyle Hohmann were married on July 18, 2015, in a small beach cer-emony on the island of An-guilla.

The bride is the daughter of Mike and Julie Campbell of Olney. She is the grand-daughter of the late Mau-rine Swink Campbell and Jack and Mary Campbell of Roanoke, and the late Rita Ehlmann and Arthur and Carol Ehlmann of Fort Worth.

The groom is the son of Kyle and Nancy Hohmann of Enid, Oklahoma. He is the grandson of Fern and the late Carl Hohmann of Deer Creek, Oklahoma, and the late Sharon Hall and Doug and Sharron Hall of Guthrie, Oklahoma.

Presented in marriage by her father, the bride wore an ivory gown accented with swarovski crystals over chantilly lace.

Matron of honor was Sa-vannah Petronis, cousin of the bride. Best man was Adam Hohmann, brother of the groom.

The bride is a graduate of Texas Tech University with a bachelor’s degree in finance

and economics. She also completed the ranch man-agement program at Texas Christian University. She is involved in her family farm and ranch operations.

The groom is a graduate of Oklahoma State Univer-sity with a bachelor’s de-gree in Agribusiness. He is employed by ACB Bank in

Enid and also farms and ranches.

The ceremony was fol-lowed by a dinner and music at the Malliouhana resort.

After returning from a honeymoon in the Grena-dines, the couple divides their time between the two family farming operations.

In Olney, there are few places to go and get grocer-ies or things you need, but one place the community has come to rely on for the past 40 years is a place called Stew-art’s Food Store.

Stewart’s Food Store was es-tablished by Harold and Faye Stewart when they bought the old Oak Street Grocery, at the intersection of Oak and Avenue F from Luther and Vearl Johnson in Sept. 1975.

Harold had been employed by the Mrs. Baird’s Bread Company for 19 years as a route salesman and before that worked a milk route for Goble’s Dairyland Milk. Faye had worked at First National Bank of Olney.

The business thrived under Harold and Faye’s guidance and soon outgrew the small, neighborhood Oak Street store that had been built in the 1930s. In 1979 the Stewarts moved their operation to the former Thrift-Tee Supermar-ket building at 501 W. Main, which provided a larger facil-ity and parking lot.

The business weathered re-cession, oil industry boom and bust, the savings and loan debacle, drought and other ups and downs of the 1980s and 1990s.

Needing more space, Stew-art’s moved to the current 1204 W. Main location (in 1996.

The move provided more retail and warehouse space and more parking.

Technological change accel-erated as cell phones, com-puterized check-out, scanners and computerized ordering and inventory control became standard. There were big changes from the mechanical, hand-cranked, 19th century style cash register that was used at the Oak Street store in 1975.

The Stewart’s Food Store staff will celebrate its 40th an-niversary with an event for the public from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 5. There will be free hot dogs, free soft drinks, bounce houses, a dunking booth, games and drawings for prizes.

A reunion of Cubs football teams has been scheduled for Oct. 23 and 24. The reunion will include football team members who represent the Fall 1950, 1955, 1962 and 1984

football teams. Additionally, the Cubs

teams of 1928, ’29, ’30, ’31 and ’32, coached by Albert Acker, will be represented by his son, Sid Acker.

The football team reunion will be dedicated to coach Clovis Riley, coach Roy Wil-liams, and player Jim Grish-am, who have passed away.

On Friday, Oct. 23, the ball-

room of the Olney Country Club will be open from noon until midnight. All former Cub football team members and their families, as well as anyone else in Olney interest-

ed in the reunion, are invited. Reunion organizers are plan-ning for attendees to go to the Cubs vs. Archer City football game at Cub stadium.

On Saturday, Oct. 24, in the

morning, the ballroom of the Olney Country Club will be open until noon. There will also be time for some to play nine holes of golf at the Olney Country Club.

BY THOMAS WALLNER

The Olney High School Cubs struggled with the Baird Bears at their home stadium on Aug. 28, but in the end it came down to 19-41 game and a first-game loss for the Cubs’ season opener.

“Baird was a good ball team, but we didn’t do enough good things to be able to win the ball game,” Head Coach Mark Young said. “The positive thing is, all the mistakes we made are fixable.”

The game started with a safety on the Cubs, which resulted in two points for Baird and moving onto a false start and two downs which upon the third down for Baird number 53 Andy Molina intercepted the play.

Near the end of the first quarter, the Cubs recov-ered a fumble. After a long dropped pass from Will Allen and some successful runs from Andrew Bern-hart and Hunter Abston the game was at a score of 0-8 at the end of the first with a safety and a touchdown from Baird and a missed kick.

The beginning of the sec-ond quarter shaped up for the Cubs with a touchdown run by Brent McCorkle at 8:09, followed by a missed kick by the Cubs. Later in the second quarter An-drew Bernhardt ran made a touchdown at 2:53 which set the score at 13-15 for the

Cubs with a successful kick. With 30 seconds on the clock for the second quarter, Baird made another touch-down and successful kick setting the score to 13-22.

A small fumble which was returned by the Cubs in the beginning of the third down didn’t halt them from mak-ing another touchdown and almost balancing the game with Baird at 19-22.

However, another touch-down by Baird at 6:06 in the third quarter set the game at 19-28 with things not looking good for the Cubs. The remaining third quar-ter and fourth quarter saw another two touchdowns for Baird with Olney strug-gling to keep up.

Travis Hudson and Kolton Piercy led the Cubs in tack-les getting a total of 13. Along with them, Drew McVicker had nine and Bradly Garcia had eight. Hudson also had one long reception for 42 yards. The offensive leader for the Cubs was Brent McCorkle who had 116 rushing yards and was one-out-of-nine for 42 yards.

The offense also excelled with players Andrew Ber-nhardt who rushed for 51 yards and Hunter Abston for 42 yards.

“Our offensive line has improved very much so, but we still have to try and perfect our schemes and rules,” Young said. “I was pleased with the effort but not with the outcome.”

The Cubs JV face off

against Petrolia at a pre-dis-trict Home game at 5 p.m. on Sept. 3, and the Varsity also will clash with Petrolia in their second pre-district game at home on Sept. 4 at 7:30 p.m.

“We are focused on Petro-lia and improving daily,” Young said. “Keep support-ing our kiddos, and we will surprise the Cub Nation.”

Cubs suffer disappointment in first game of season

Olney wide receiver Dalton Trouille, 10, catches a short pass by quarterback Andrew Bernhardt, 7, for the Cubs to gain a few yards. Bernhardt rushed for 51 yards during the season opener for the Cubs.

The law covers any potential or actual sale, lease, rental, eviction, price terms, privileges or any service in relation to the sale of or use of housing. The law not only prohibits advertisements which restrict access to housing based on the protected categories, but also prohibits advertisements which indicate a preference for or against a person based on a protected category.

Chambers. The board debated the is-

sues and concerns of having the fire suspension system inside the school. While the suppression system is usu-ally seen as a code item the particular inspector gave them the go ahead to not have it which according to Roach would be a $100,000 savings for the district. If the system was installed then maintenance would be required on it and the oc-casional flushing of water throughout the pipes which may leak, will be needed.

The construction prog-ress of the junior high was discussed and is coming together despite a small hiccup in the summer after the asbestos abatement. The doors and hardware have been taken out as well as the ceilings. The entry can-opy has been demoed and the storage building is what is next for the construction company.

David Ickert, the presi-

dent of the board, voiced his concerns about the con-struction process. There was demolition done in the B-Wing by a subcontractor before the approval was given and proved to be an inconvenience.

The board moved onto to discuss the plans for the Ca-reer and Technology Educa-tion Lab they plan to start working on after construc-tion of the junior high and without any hiccups. The lab will contain five class-rooms and a large work-shop with welding torches and a plasma cutter.

The possibility of the Ag teachers and other classes using the resources avail-able within the building was brought up by the board and they agreed it would be a tool for them to use.

The district showed an im-proved passing rate in ev-ery area, which Roach said was a sign of improvement, but the passing rate was acceptable not the scores themselves.

“We need to keep improv-ing to we can reach a consis-tency,” Roach said.

Also discussed during the meeting was the issue of allowing concealed weap-ons on campus and voted against having them.

The discussion of students being able to bring their own devices to class was brought up by the board, and they voted that it was fine for them to provide their own tablet or laptop to class, but they will also have a school one in case of emergency.

The board approved the purchase of two new buses for activities that will run under the schools fun bud-get.

They also approved the contract of Germ Blast for four treatments with one in summer to come out and disinfect facilities for the school.

The Refuge will be nego-tiating after school tutoring programs in conjunction with the school for teens and kids.
