Linda Rous
Linda Rous’ art on display at Graceful Arts By Lynn L. Martin Fairview resident Linda Rous once again has a display at Alva’s Graceful Arts Gallery. This time, she is presenting wildlife on canvas in both oil and acrylic. Her topic is mainly American animals. While she has a website (MyPeopleIndianDolls.com), she says most of the web interest comes from www.Etsy. com. This is a site that features crafts, vintage items and art supplies. Certainly, her items at Graceful Arts are priced for sale. She estimates she has about a dozen pieces on display here in Alva.

TWO-TIME DEFENDING CHAMPS GO DOWN – The last two years the Helmley family were the Family Feud game champions in Progress Park during Kiowa’s Labor Day celebration. Early in the competition, it appeared the Kiowa family could boast for another year. Then as the game heated up and question values increased, the Helmleys’ competition, who was the Graves family, answered correctly and snatched the win. Aimee Bryan, the game show host, asked questions such as what items do women use more than men in their home. The judges and time keepers are sisters Nicole Kraft and Shawna Schupbach (in the back). Bryan asks Jill Palmer a question as her family members await their turn: Katie Hughes, Linda Helmey, Dodi Doelling and Sue Becker. Photo by Yvonne Miller
A NEW FAMILY CHAMP – Newcomers to the annual Family Feud game in Kiowa’s Progress Park during the Labor Day celebration are members of the Graves family. At first they didn’t have a score on the board, but started giving the correct answers and became the new champions. Family Feud host Aimee Bryan asked a question of Austin Graves like what is an item in a home where bigger is better. The judges and time keepers are sisters Nicole Kraft and Shawna Schupbach (in the back). Bryan first asks Austin Graves for his answers while the rest of the family calculates their answer: Chuck Graves, Tammy Graves, Summer Graves and Pam Hess. The children are Kase and Jaylee, children of Kyle and Jacy Graves. Photo by Yvonne Miller

Alva physician and Freedom teacher comment on risk to Share Medical Center By Lynn L. Martin Dr. Bruce Meyer, MD, who at one time had a private practice in Alva but now serves as the physician for the Bill Johnson Correctional Center, commented on my column in last Wednesday’s Newsgram. “I don’t always agree with Lynn Martin’s commentary, but he has hit the nail on the head today. Integris is not wanting to come to Alva to help our current health care system, they are wanting to come and cherry pick easy health care dollars during the normal working hours, but what are they offering Alva patients after hours? “Two competing health care systems are doomed to fail, just like Alva cannot support two competing vo-techs at the same time or two ambulance systems. This reminds me of what Dr. A B Hinkle told me in 1990 about Alva patients. ‘Many Alva people wouldn’t be caught dead in my office during daylight hours,
but suddenly I am their best friend at midnight in the ER.’ “We need to support our local health care providers who also help keep our Alva hospital viable.” Charlotte Selfridge, a teacher in the Freedom School system, wrote: “Our Share Hospital experience happened two years ago. John began having chest pain well after 5 p.m. After having him chew up an aspirin, we went to Share Hospital. They were seriously busy, and we were going to be ushered to the waiting room. As soon as I told the receptionist John was having chest pain, she promptly got a wheelchair and notified the nursing staff. “He was put in a room and hooked up to an EKG machine. Bryan Nutter began care of John. Medicine was given, which didn’t stop the pain. John’s first blood test for cardiac enzymes did not show he was having a heart attack. However, his EKG showed an abnormality, so we were told he would need to see a cardiologist. A second cardiac enzyme test revealed that he was indeed having a heart attack. “It was storming, so he had to be
sent by ambulance. At that time Alva did not have a paramedic, so we had to wait on one from Medford. This was unnerving. Bryan Nutter gave John blood thinners for the trip to the Heart Hospital in OKC. “Upon arriving at the Heart Hospital, their medical staff began running the same tests Bryan Nutter had run at Share Hospital. This reassured us that Share Hospital uses the same protocol! “Once the ‘heart cath team’ arrived a stent was placed in John’s blocked artery, because another test had revealed that he had a 100 percent blockage in his LAD artery, which the staff called a ‘widow maker.’ “After the procedure was finished his cardiologist told him he’d never put a stent in anyone with a 100 percent blockage because they don’t usually make it to him. “I believe with all my heart if Share Hospital were closed and if we had to drive one or more hours to get to the closest hospital, I might very well be a widow today. “We need a hospital in our community.”
Letter to the Editor
Barker: SQ777 is government by the corporation, for the corporation (The following is an opinion piece by Kim Barker of Walnut Creek Farms in Waynoka, Oklahoma. Barker is a fifth generation rancher and opposes State Question 777 (SQ777) on the ballot on Nov. 8, 2016.) My name is Kim Barker and I am a rancher in Woods County, Oklahoma. My great-grandfather settled on land near Waynoka during the land run of Sept. 16, 1893. My family has farmed and ranched in this area since 1893. I have the right to farm. One hundred twenty three years of history proves I have the right to farm. Five generations of us have been farming and ranching here. We have the right to farm. I do not need a constitutional
amendment in the form of SQ 777 to give me that right. Since I already have the right to farm, what is SQ777 really about? SQ777, Right to Farm, is the most inappropriately named bill of recent memory. Written by Washington, D.C., corporate lobbyists for American and foreign corporations, SQ777 offers nothing for the family farmers and ranchers of Oklahoma. Corporations do not want consumers to know how our food is raised, they do not want Oklahomans to have control of our own water, and they want unlimited power and control for corporate farming. I am aware that Oklahoma farmers are reported to support SQ777. I am also
aware that large insurance companies masquerading as farm organizations claim to represent Oklahoma farmers. I am also aware of how they use the name “Right to Farm” to con farmers into supporting SQ777. I am aware that out-of-state animal rights groups are against this bill, and that farmers have been led to believe that is reason enough to support SQ777. Animal rights groups have an agenda. International corporations have an agenda too. Is it wise for Oklahomans to give the international corporate agenda unprecedented protection from regulation and scrutiny? I don’t think so. Do

Letter
Oklahoma consumers want to give up the right to even ask about the details of how our food is produced? I don’t think so. Do Oklahomans want to set new precedents for constitutional protections for corporations? I don’t think so. Our history is of government of the people, by the people, for the people. SQ777 is government by the corporation, for the corporation. The rights and freedoms of people are the basis for our government. Why would we willingly vote to give the rights and freedoms that rightfully belong to people, to international corporations? We should not! I know of very few farmers in Oklahoma who produce all of their own food. Farmers and farm wives are consumers just like every other family in Oklahoma. My family and I have been involved
in marketing food directly to consumers for about 20 years. We know that it is imperative for many, many people to know exactly how their food is raised because of allergies, weakened immune systems, and sensitivities to chemicals and antibiotics. SQ777 is an attempt by international corporations to hide what they do today, and what they may do in the future. Who knows what new technologies will be available in the future. Do Oklahomans want to forever give up the right to regulate future unknowns when it applies to our food and water, to life itself? I don’t think so. Remember SQ 777 was written in Washington, D.C., by corporations, for corporations. It was NOT written with the best interest of Oklahomans and Oklahoma farms in mind. We already have the
right to farm. Vote for food! Vote for water! Vote for people. Vote for Oklahoma. Vote NO on SQ 777! Sincerely, Kim Barker Walnut Creek Farms Waynoka, Oklahoma (See more on the Oklahomans for Food, Farm & Family website. Oklahomans for Food, Farm and Family is an umbrella organization coordinated by leadership of the Oklahoma Municipal League, the Conservation Coalition of Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Farm and Food Alliance.

Oklahoma City man back in jail after altercation at Jiffy Trip By Marione Martin An Oklahoma City man who entered a guilty plea on attempting to deliver contraband to James Crabtree Correctional Center in Helena received a ten year suspended sentence Aug. 31. Early the next morning, he was arrested at a Cherokee convenience store for assault and other misdemeanor charges. He ended up back in jail. On Aug. 31, Maurice Shawta Givings, 31, of Oklahoma City pled guilty to felonies of bringing a cell phone or electronic device in a penal institution and bringing contraband drugs into a jail. A misdemeanor charge of bringing contraband into a penal institution was dismissed. The contraband, including cellphones, marijuana and tobacco, was found inside three footballs that had been cut open and a pair of athletic shoes. The items were discovered inside the fence at JCCC after a correctional officer spotted Givings near a perimeter fence. At the time of his arrest Givings said he had been dropped off by the girlfriend of a JCCC inmate and was to be paid about $400 for the drop. He said he had just been released from jail, couldn’t
find work and needed the money. Thursday morning, Sept. 1, about 4:52 a.m. Cherokee Police Officer Ryan McNeil went to the Jiffy Trip for a report of someone refusing to leave the store. He spoke with the reporting party, Angelina McHenry, an employee of the store. According to the arrest report, McHenry told the officer a man she did not recognize (Givings) came into the store with $5 to spend. Later Santos Sepin came into the store and accused Givings of taking his wallet. Givings said he didn’t take it. Sepin walked out of the store with Givings following. McHenry said she saw Givings punch Sepin in the back of the head in the parking lot. She said she got between the men and told Givings to leave and go back to the motel. McHenry said Sepin came back in the store with her, but Givings followed and began “talking crap” to Sepin. She said Givings told Sepin he did not take the wallet, and he was going to kill him. She said she repeatedly asked Givings to leave but he refused so she called for police. Then Givings went behind the
business to the west. Officer McNeil located Givings in the west parking lot of the business. Givings said he met Sepin the previous evening, and Sepin had given him $5. He said he walked to the Jiffy Trip to buy some food when Sepin chased him into the business and accused him of stealing his wallet. Givings said Sepin chased him out of the business, and feeling the need to defend himself he punched Sepin in the back of the head. McNeil handcuffed Givings and put him into his patrol car. Police Chief Michael Andrews arrived and stayed with Givings while McNeil talked to Sepin. Sepin told McNeil he met Givings at the motel where they were both staying. He said he gave Givings his last $5 to get something to eat. Sepin said he went to the bathroom, and when he came out his wallet was missing. That’s when he went to the Jiffy Trip, asked Givings about the wallet and was punched in the back of the head. McNeil observed that Sepin appeared to have been drinking. Sepin admitted to have been drinking prior to the incident. He said Givings and some others had also been drinking with him. Sepin later reported he located his stolen wallet in the grass outside of his room at the motel. Givings was taken to the Alfalfa County Jail. He has been charged with three misdemeanors: (1) assault and battery, (2) threaten to perform an act of violence and (3) petit larceny. He appeared before the judge on Sept. 2 and his bond was set at $10,000. The state has filed an application to revoke his suspended sentence.

Dr. Kris Mullins, M.D., heart specialist at Share Medical Center, saved my life!” - Don Wallace of Lahoma
Dr. Kris Mullins, M.D.
Don Wallace travels to Share Medical Center from Lahoma, OK for checkups with his St. Anthony specialists via tele-medicine.
“I had a heart cath at an Enid hospital. They recommended a heart-valve replacement within a year. My daughter, Regina Wilson, an RN, urged me to get a second opinion. She has high regard for heart specialist Dr. Kris Mullins, who accepts appointments at Share Medical Center a couple of times per month. “When Dr. Mullins looked at the video of my heart cath, her eyes got big and she said, ‘You need to see a surgeon right quick!’” She felt the problem was much more severe than the first doctor had stated. “Dr. Mullins arranged a very fast appointment with Dr. Lucas at St. Anthony’s Hospital in Oklahoma City. After his examination, he warned me and my family, ‘You probably won’t be around for Christmas unless we do something immediately . . . like tomorrow morning.’ This was on December 10th. I was on a blood thinner and had to delay a bit, but I had the triple by-pass and a heart valve replacement.” “I do thank Dr. Mullins for seeing the need and going out of her way to get the surgeon lined up next day. She saved my life, there is no question,” he said. Wallace says he feels much better, and the recovery went very quickly. “I did what the doctor told me to do and even Dr. Kris was surprised at how fast I got back on my feet.” Don, a highway patrolman for 21 years out of the Enid Troop J, used Share Medical Center before when he suffered a knife cut during a hunting accident. He said, “Both me and my wife have used Share Medical Center and the care is amazing. We will use this hospital again.” Wallace is a graduate of Jones High School and NWOSU. He mainly served as a driver’s license examiner during his Highway Patrol career.

OU Medical School’s oldest living graduate turns 103; shares Woodward tornado experience Dr. William F. LaFon, Norman, is celebrating his 103rd birthday at his home in Norman this week. He was born Sept. 3, 1913, north of Edmond. Following graduation from the University of Oklahoma School of Medicine and a residency in Wichita, Dr. LaFon opened his first practice in Waynoka where he practiced family medicine and was also the official railroad division point physician. He later moved his practice to Alva to be near a hospital. In a video interview at his home in Norman, conducted by Waynoka Historical Society president Sandie Olson, he related his experiences when Alva physicians were called to help care for victims of a massive tornado in Woodward, 88 miles southwest of Alva, in 1947. Arriving by car in Woodward,
they found the town in total darkness with no practical way of treating the injured. The decision was made to transport the victims by train to Alva General Hospital. Patients in Alva who were able to be dismissed were sent home to make more rooms available. Dormitories at Northwestern State College, now NWOSU, were made available as well. Later, the doctor answered the call for physicians to join the military. He served in France as well as at other bases, including Vance AFB, where he served as commander. Dr. LaFon enjoys his family – daughter Ann and her husband live next door in Norman, and son John and family in California – and also his beautiful yard. At the time of the interview, he had ordered 100 rosebushes that would be planted in the spring, and they were.
Enid man charged in theft of pickup from Cherokee By Marione Martin Last October Cherokee Police took a report about a stolen pickup. It was located the next day in Oklahoma City containing items that led to the identification of the likely suspect. In December police attempted to interview that suspect at the Garfield County Detention Facility, but he refused to talk to them. On Sept. 2, 2016, John Albert Woodruff, 40, of Enid was charged with larceny of an automobile, a felony, in Alfalfa County. A warrant was issued for his arrest. The crime is punishable for three to 20 years or a fine equal to three times the value of the property, not to exceed $500,000, or both fine and imprisonment. However, Woodruff was convicted Aug. 25 on numerous charges in Garfield County and received sentences, all to run concurrently, with the maximum being 14 years in the custody of the Department of
Corrections. The vehicle theft was reported to the Cherokee Police on Oct. 28, 2015, by Zachary C. Berg. He said he left his white 2005 Dodge Ram pickup parked at approximately 9 a.m. and discovered it was missing when he returned at noon. He had left the keys inside the pickup and had not given anyone permission to take it. Berg also said his wallet, Visa bank card, driver’s license, hunting license and insurance card were inside the pickup. On Oct. 29 at 4:54 a.m. Oklahoma City Police found the pickup at a motel. They impounded the pickup, which was backed into a parking space and unoccupied. Berg retrieved the pickup and found the following items inside: an open bottle of Listerine mouthwash, a bottle of Skulls & Roses cologne, an open pack of Marlboro cigarettes, a silver chain bracelet, two black bungee cords, a Wildgame
Innovations trail camera with SD card, a pair of black sunglasses, a brown leather keychain with a Ford key, an alarm fob, two small gold keys, two key chains, and an iPhone 5. Berg turned over all of the items to law enforcement. Investigation of the iPhone showed it belonged to Woodruff’s daughter, age 12. It was further learned that Woodruff had been in Cherokee on Oct. 28, 2015, to attend a court hearing at the Alfalfa County Courthouse, one block south of where Berg’s pickup had been parked. The court hearing was on a 2014 felony charge of unlawful possession of controlled dangerous drug with intent to distribute. On Dec. 4, 2015, Cherokee Police Chief Michael Andrews interviewed Woodruff at the Garfield County Detention Facility. Woodruff stated that all that

Free cancer screening during Indian Summer Days Medicine Lodge, Kansas – Local Masons will host a free cancer screening on Saturday, Sept. 24, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at 205 N. Main St., Medicine Lodge, Kansas. Held during Indian Summer Days, it is one of 26 free cancer prevention events the Kansas Masonic Foundation (KMF) is sponsoring across the state in 2016. The screening is open to the public. KMF conducts the screenings in partnership with the Midwest Cancer
Alliance (MCA), the outreach division of The University of Kansas Cancer Center, and KU Medical Center medical staff. According to Brooke Groneman, the outreach director for MCA, more than 6,000 Kansas residents have attended the Masonic screenings over the past few years. The event will provide skin and prostate cancer screenings as well as bone density tests and health education materials. “This free health service is open to
local residents as well as the visitors who are in town for Indian Summer Days,” says Delta Masonic Lodge #77 volunteer, Jason Gibson. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 5,600 Americans are diagnosed with some form of skin cancer every day and 205 of those are diagnosed with melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Close to 9,000 Americans die of skin cancer every year and the Centers for Disease Control reports that Kansas has higher than average rates of skin cancer in the U.S. “Diagnosing potential problems early on can make a big difference in successful treatment,” says dermatologist Ryan Fischer, MD.

could be proved was that he stayed in the Oklahoma City motel. He said he wanted to speak to his lawyer so Chief Andrews ended the interview. On Feb. 3, 2016, Chief Andrews interviewed a man who had talked to Woodruff while they were both incarcerated in the Garfield County Jail. The man said Woodruff told him he had stolen a Dodge pickup after leaving a court appearance in Alfalfa County but he wouldn’t tell the police anything when they questioned him about the pickup. On Aug. 25, 2016, in Garfield County, Woodruff entered guilty pleas to several felony charges dated from October 2015 through January 2016. They included grand larceny of merchandise from a retailer, three counts of knowingly concealing stolen property, five counts of burglary second degree, receiving/concealing stolen property, possession of CDS with intent to distribute, possession or selling of paraphernalia while not using a motor vehicle, three counts of unlawful use of a debit card, and possession of a debit card belonging to another. Sentencing on all the convictions is to run concurrently with the longest term being 14 years under the control of the Department of Corrections.

Sooners again are overall winners of Kiowa’s Labor Day 5K Race Second largest number of race registrants By Yvonne Miller Temperatures were in the low 70s Monday morning around start time of Kiowa’s 32nd Labor Day 5K Race. However, the humidity pretty well hit you in the face when you stepped outside. That didn’t stop 412 runners and walkers from registering for the event that was supposed to shoot off at 8:20 a.m. The race didn’t start until a little after 8:30 because of all the people who did not pre-register and waited to do so Monday morning, race director Kent McBrayer confirmed. He said the 412 registrants is the second largest number they’ve ever had for the race. Of those who registered, 373 people finished the race. Young Oklahomans took top honors in the race. Overall male winner was Luis Chavez of Alva who finished in 16 minutes and 49 seconds. Chavez is originally from Beaver and is on track to graduate from NWOSU this year where he was one of the
leading runners on the Rangers crosscountry team, according to coach Clay Tarter. The overall winner of the women ‘s division is once again Tiarra Davis. This is her fourth year to win the women’s division of the race. Last year she ran the race in 21:10. This year she finished in 22:18. Her dad is Kenneth Jr., of Pond Creek, where she graduated from high school in the spring and was a member of the crosscountry team. Davis said his daughter is playing basketball this year at NOC in Enid. Mr. Davis is a native of Medicine Lodge were he graduated from high school. He told the Newsgram his parents (and Tiarra’s grandparents) Kenneth and Mary Davis are still Medicine Lodge residents. His sister is Andrea Cunningham who also resides in Medicine Lodge with her family. Davis said with his family and Cunningham and her family, they had 14 registered and participating in the
race – some running, some walking. They also pushed two in a stroller. Davis said when Tiarra started five years ago she lost first place to Erin Merklein of Kiowa who won the race numerous years. Since then Tiarra has won. Oldest and Youngest Finishers The youngest finishers were Remi Quick, age 5, and Bradley Cropp, age 4.

For 2016, cash prizes for baking have again been added through a generous donation from Fred Urban Jr., the son of Katherine Urban, a prized exhibitor to the Woods County Fair for many years. First-, second- and third-place prizes of $100, $75 and $50 will be given in adult and youth (18 years and younger) divisions for the most baked entries in the Woods County Fair. The baking superintendent at the Woods County Fair will record the number of exhibits individually. At the conclusion of the fair Saturday, Sept. 10, the cash prizes will be announced in both divisions.
A traveling plaque is also awarded to the exhibitor with the most baked items, either adult or youth. Plan to enter and attend Sept. 8-10. Katherine Urban was well known throughout northwest Oklahoma for her baking talents. She loved to enter state and national baking contests and won many for her creativity and determination. She made many special occasion cakes for the people in the Waynoka community and was very involved in community activities. Urban donated all of her baked goods at the Woods County Fair each year to be sold
with proceeds going to the OHCE groups or to the Woods County 4-H organization. Her efforts and entries are missed, but in hopes of enticing more entries, the traveling plaque will be a prized possession for any Woods County Fair exhibitor who wins with the most baked goods. Fred Urban is in the beginning stages of creating a cookbook of his mother’s prized recipes. He has asked that anyone in our area with pictures of Katherine Urban’s cakes to please send them, along with a short story about the occasion, to him at: Fred Urban, PO Box 12204, Odessa, Texas 79768.

Hattie Potter shows handwoven baskets at First Friday By Lynn L. Martin Alva native Hattie Potter has many sizes of her handwoven Cherokee double-wall baskets on display at the Graceful Arts Gallery for the month of September. “I learned to do it when I was really young and I’ve just expanded from there,” Potter said. Her baskets range in size from about
18 inches to really tiny: about 2 inches. She said the little ones take only a couple of hours, but the big ones can take from eight to ten hours. Previously, when she was in high school, Potter utilized her aunt’s shop in
Hattie Potter
Edmond to market her baskets. However, the shop has been sold, so that venue went away. Potter is hopeful that this new exposure at Graceful Arts might reignite interest in her baskets.

By Kolten Childers The Waynoka FFA chapter is getting entries ready for the Woods County Fair. The chapter is preparing and organizing their projects for the fair. I know there are kids all over northwest Oklahoma working diligently to create a winning entry. The goal for the chapter this year is for every member to have at least one project entered in the fair. Some entry options could be grass, photography, welding, animals, and more. This is such a fun time of year for the FFA chapters around Woods County. The school year is just getting started and everything is starting to come together. Come out to the fairgrounds in Alva this weekend, Sept. 8-10, to see how we do! If you can’t, watch the newspapers in a couple weeks to see our results.
Natascha Adams, Derik Miller, JP Smiley, Nathan Pitts, Brock Long, Traben Redgate, Chase Zook and Kellen Allison sort grass picked for bundles and grass boards.

CHAUFFERED AROUND THE PARK – These little ones definitely know how to enjoy Kiowa’s Labor Day in Progress Park: riding in a classic red wagon and sipping the sweet syrup of a frosty snow cone on a hot day. Both age 3, these “cute-as-thesnowcones-are-cold” cousins were born the very same day. They are Emma, daughter of Tessa Coffey, and Kaleb, son of Amanda Olson. Photo by Yvonne Miller

“You as patient, have the final say in where your medical procedures are conducted.” “When Dr. Bierig moved away, I lost my long time personal doctor. So, when it was time for a check up, I chose an old friend who practices medicine out of town. I was told it was time in my life for a colonoscopy. Several hospitals were suggested, but I asked, ‘Can I go to Share Medical Center?” The answer was, ‘Sure.’” In January 2016, the Alva Hospital Authority board ordered the latest digital technology colonoscopy equipment for SMC.
Karen Koehn
580-327-2800 “By doing it Alva, the required early start began at my home, about a mile from the hospital. No motel costs or early morning drive. And the wonderful Share staff treated me like home folk. Besides, I kept all that money in Alva.”

ABOVE: KISSIN’ COUSINS – First cousins Hank Myers and Lacey Myers beam as “Mario” and “a kitty” after having their faces painted by the South Barber High School cheerleaders at Progress Park during Kiowa’s annual Labor Day celebration. Lacey even purred. The children were in town visiting their grandparents Pat and Brenda Myers. Hank’s parents are Justin and Jennifer Myers of Kansas City. Lacey is the daughter of Jeremy and Monica Myers of Colorado Springs. Photo by Yvonne Miller LEFT: A LEISURELY DAY OF VISITING – It’s not every day you see a well-dressed woman strolling across the park with a walker and her two pet dogs on leashes tied to her walker. However, that was the scene in Kiowa’s Progress Park Monday during the community’s annual Labor Day celebration. Peggy M. Cook of Cherokee said she always tries to come and enjoy the day in Kiowa – a great opportunity to visit with old and new friends. She said the mama dog she named “Pepper” was a shelter dog. The younger dog is Isaac. Photo by Yvonne Miller

RELAXING IS WHAT LABOR DAY IS ALL ABOUT – Longtime Burlington couple Bob and Francis Kraft enjoy sitting in the shade at the park during Kiowa’s Labor Day celebration while visiting with Bob’s brother Ray Kraft (in middle) and sampling the traditional ham and bean dinner. Photo by Yvonne Miller
‘THE BEANERS’ WORK AND PLAY HARD – The free ham and bean dinner at Kiowa’s Labor Day celebration is as much of a tradition as the festivities themselves. The tradition continues because of the volunteerism of the “beaners.” Some of the beaners in action over the noon hour in the park Monday were: (from left) Jerry May, Brian Nielson, Tyler Hiltner, Casey William and Jarrod Inman. The beaners are up in the wee hours of Labor Day morning getting the ham and beans on in huge black cauldrons. They keep the serving tables full during the lunch. They are some of the last people cleaning up the park when the celebration ends. Although they are working hard, don’t think for a minute that they are not having fun also! Photo by Yvonne Miller
