In the subsequent search,he found marijuana, an open con- I i amine), drug paraphernalia and an unlawfully concealed weapon. With the plea, the two Louisi-anal men received suspended sen-tences of one 'year, (with sevendays already served in the Cima-rron County Jail), fines and court costs. The duo also forfeited a Smith &Wesson .44 caliber magnum pistol and $2,824 found in the ve- hicle. By taking the plea, the two avoided the possibility of going to prison on the variety of felony charges. i ii i i i by C.F. David Charges of molestation against Monty Milner of rural Cimarron County have been dismissed with- out prejudice. Without prej udice is a legal term meaning that the charges could be re-filed shouldthedistrict rney' office'see fitto do so. Milner was arrested and charged in July, 2005, on suspicionthat he had molested a juvenilefemale under the age of 16. Thecharges stemmed from a com-plaint filed by the juvenile'smother. According to the court order, Milner will pay his court costs.on a sentence by C.F. David Stephanie Ann Vincent, sen-tenced in April of 2005, for theJan. 1, 2004 vehicular death ofBrandon Abrahamson, 20, ofBorger, Texas, has been releasedfrom the Texas County DetentionCenter until March 16, 2006.In a Nov. 2 I, 2005, court docu-ment, Vincent's attorney, CreigRittenhouse pointed out thatVincent, 40, has been a model in-mate, and is pregnant with a duedate of Jan. 13.I Rittenhouse continued that Vincent was not a danger to thepublic and that [due to the preg-nancy] the sentence modificationResignation was in the best interest of justice. Another document filed by at-torney David Petty called forVincent's complete release, stat-ing that Vincent had expressedremorse to him [Petty] forAbrahamson's death. In pleading guilty in January of2005, Vincent admitted that shehad been drinking for severalhours before she got behind thewheel of her pickup, withAbrahamson as one of two pas-sengers. She also pied to thetransportation of an open con-tainer, (whiskey), and a loadedhandgun when her truck over-turned northwest of Boise City, pinning and killing Abrahamson. In the document Vincent signedfor her release on personal recog-nizance, she agreed to appear incourt on March 16, 2006 at 1:30p.m and abide by the orders ofthe court. At that time she wouldserve the balance of her sentencein the Cimarron County jail dayfor day for 147 days, and that shewould pay the balance of jail andcourt costs within 60 days of herrelease from the Cimarron CountyJail. The document also stipulatesthat Vincent, while on her mater-nity release, will abide by all therules and conditions of her origi-nal probation agreement. by C.F. David After meeting behind closeddoors for one half hour in an ex-ecutive session, the Boise CitySchool Board formally acceptedthe resignation of music DirectorErwin Elms. Though Elms had sup-porters at the meeting, theyseemed confused and none offeredany opinions during the offered citizen's comments. In other business, SherryRobinson told the board that anofficer from Texhoma had pre-sented an in-service on gang ac-tivity and had offered to return toaccepted that Highway Patrol Trooper Boyd Perry had demonstrated to the Gifted and Talented Students how to calibrate a Radar Gun, and gave them the chance to do the calibration too. Principal Newton told the board that the special ed students would travel to the nursing home to decorate the residents doors. Newton continued by sayingthat he had been in contact withindividuals in an effort to get theschool net weather site operat-ing again. Superintendent Dan Faulknergive an opinion if gang activity was told the board that with effortsa problem in the Boise City byRep.GusBlackwellaformulaSchools. to figure state help with energy Principal Kim Jenkins told the:board that the Acaderhic BowlTeam was in competition andwould compete atNorthern Okla-homa University in Tonkawa, onJan. 5. Jenkins continued by explaining and fuel prices would aid those schools with large districts. Faulkner continued that the Ag program is in trouble due to low student numbers, discussions are underway with Felt and Keyesto possibly co-op the classes. by C.E David Cimarron Memorial Hospital'sboard met on Nov. 30, with finan-cial officers of Clayton NewMexico's Farmers & StockmansBank, to discuss the possibility ofa loan restructure. The Cimarroncounty commissioners were alsoin attendance. Larry Fluhman and Mark Funk, met with the board, and listened as Chief Executive Officer Patsy Shields and Board Member Dwilene Holbert explained the need for a restructure in an effort to catch up on payroll. Holbert explained that in 2004, when the payroll was "met", sev- eral things hadn't been included, such as the employee's health in- surance, worker's comp, retire- ment and etc. "So when it came time for Rod,(former CEO Rod Burrus), to pay those things we fell behind on payroll again," Holbert said. "We are at the same place we were in 2004, it's exas- perating," Holbert said."We are very fortunate to have the em- ployees we have," she added. "Frankly we are a little con- cerned," Fluhman said. "'We knew this [the previous loan] wasn't going to work overnight. We are here to help, and we hope to come up with a solution," he added. Fluhman then explained that five years ago, the Union County Hospital in Clayton had been in a similar situation, and that with fi- nancial help from the bank, and some managerial changes, the situation had been reversed. Fluhman made note of the "re- volving door problem" in the CEO's office, and asked if the problem had been solved. The board replied that they felt, with the hiring of Shields, the right fit had been tbund. Then a collective groan rose from the board and observers when Fluhman advised the need for a consulting company. Holbert and Board ChairmanFrank Lynch told Fluhman thatpast experiences with Castlerockand Cypress had left a bad tastein the community's mouth. Fluhman told the board that he had been alarmed by the financials he'd seen but that the present loan or the restructure was not under any risk as long as the hospital had the community's support. "This hospital is the life blood of this community," he added. "We want to help, but we don't want to do it without a plan," Fluhman said. Shields told Fluhman that thehospital had changed auditors, andthat a double entry problem hadbeen found that should lower theaccounts receivables he'd seen. 'The biggest problem we've had is that we've never had a budget," Lynch said. "Is the billing being kept up?" Funk asked. "We are cleaning up accounts to get a clearer picture.' Holbert said. "We've cleaned up the ARs,'" Shields said. Shields explained that she hadthree more interviews with poten-tial nurse practitioners, hoping tohave a new hire soon for the clinic,and that a firm had been hired tofind doctors and surgeons. Fluhman reiterated that the bank would loan the additional money," but that'a plan was needed. Fluhman looked at Shields, "We need to sit down with you and your Chief Finan- cial Officer and go through the finer details." Nursing Home Director Donna Cain told the board, bank- ers and commissioners that the employees needed a representa- tive on board when the plan was created. "They need to feel like they are part of this [the plan].'" Cain said.Keyes Council accepts only bidsubmitted for old locker by Correspondent Sheriff Keith Borth and Birdie Walker Council Members present: Chris Townsley and Scott Arthaud.

Oklahoma's State Speaker ofthe House, Todd Hiett, aRepublican from Kelleyville,(that's in Creek CountySouthwest of Tulsa), gets asecond turn in the barrel becauseThe Boise City News received an e-mail last Friday that Hiett was wrapping up his statewide RED1 taskforce. Statewide should mean all 77 counties. We don't think he's been in the Panhandle, and we are sure he wasn't in Cimarron County. Hiett recently unveiled, (about the time he decided to announcefor Lt. Governor), his RuralEconomic Development Initiative,or REDI. Since then Hiett andothers have been traipsing overmost of the state showing off hislong term plan to revitalize rural Oklahoma. As best we can tell the nearest he traveled to Cimarroncounty was Woodward. Hiett, like other politicos from Oklahoma City, and Tulsa, have no real clue that Oklahoma even has a Panhandle. If he desires to be Lt. Governor, perhaps he should visit the now forgotten "No Man's Land." The Boise City News will pay$50 to anyone that can prove Hietthas been in Cimarron Countytrying to revitalize our rural area.
