By Yvonne MillerBelonging to the National Honor So-

ciety (NHS) is about more than keeping a standard of excellence in scholarship for high school juniors and seniors.

Members are also selected based on their character, leadership, service to community and school. South Barber High School Counselor and NHS Spon-sor Cheryl Washburn said each student applicant was required to write an essay about a common subject. Essays were judged by a panel of teachers on con-tent, grammar, etc. NHS members must maintain a minimum 3.4 GPA (grade

inductees for the 2013-14 school year are: Holly Drake, senior; juniors Riley Denton, Paige Koblitz and Bryce Rob-erts.

NHS officers are: President, Amber Weve; Vice-President Dalton Black; Secretary Elizabeth Miller; Treasurer, Kiera Yates.

New NHS members were inducted

at a candlelight ceremony in the high school library on a Sunday afternoon just before Christmas. Family members of inductees and current members at-tended the ceremony and enjoyed home-made cake and punch, compliments of Mrs. Washburn.

NHS members do a few philanthrop-ic projects throughout the year. One of their fundraisers will be Singing Valen-tines in February.

By Yvonne MillerChristmas Day about noon Kiowa

and Hazelton emergency crews and the Barber County Sheriff’s Office respond-ed to a single vehicle accident on the Tri-City Road near Hazelton, Kan.

Alisha Rugg, 30, of Hazelton was southbound in a 2006 Pontiac on Tri-City Road. One-half mile south of Hawkins Road, Rugg reportedly lost control of the vehicle.

Barber County Deputy Jeff Mc-Cullough said roadways were dry. He

said Rugg was driving too fast and lost control. The deputy said, “The vehicle rolled at least four times.”

Reportedly not wearing a seatbelt, Rugg was ejected as the vehicle rolled, McCullough said. Rugg was alert fol-lowing the crash, the deputy said.

McCullough said although Rugg had multiple fractures and a broken collar bone, “She was very fortunate.”

She was taken by Kiowa EMS to the Kiowa Hospital. McCullough said she was transported to a Wichita hospital.

By Marione MartinA traffic stop in Alfalfa County re-

sulted in drug charges for two Kansas residents. According to court docu-ments, on Dec. 19 about 9:50 p.m. Al-falfa County Deputies Blake Trekell and David Gebers were on routine pa-trol about two miles west of Cherokee on Greer Road. A four door Pontiac with a Kansas tag approached, and they saw it was illegally displaying its auxil-iary driving lamps. The deputies pulled in behind the vehicle, and it stopped about a quarter mile west of Cherokee.

Trekell talked to the driver, Jeanna M. Richter, 22, of Great Bend, Kan. He asked for her driver’s license and in-surance verification form. While Rich-ter pulled out her driver’s license, her passenger, later identified as Patrick A. Doty, 30, of Great Bend, Kan., was looking in the glove box for the insur-ance form. Trekell saw Doty remove a small mirror, approximately 5 inches square, with residue on it. Doty quick-ly concealed the mirror back into the glove box. Trekell went to the passen-ger side and asked Doty for the mirror he had seen, that based on his training and experience appeared to be drug paraphernalia. Doty said the mirror was in a house he bought and he put it in the car. Trekell could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from the passenger window. He asked Richter to step out of the vehicle and be seated in the pas-senger seat of his patrol car.

Running Richter’s Kansas driver’s license Trekell learned it was suspend-ed. He asked Richter if she knew, and

she said she thought she had taken care of it. He asked if there were any illegal drugs in the car. Richter paused looking at the vehicle and said there weren’t or should not be.

Trekell went back to the car to talk to Doty. He asked why he could smell marijuana from inside the vehicle, and Doty said there was a little weed in the car. He said it was in a leopard design purse in the passenger side floorboard beneath his feet. Trekell asked Doty to step out of the car, and asked if there was any paraphernalia in the car. Doty said there were a few pipes in the purse as well.

Trekell retrieved the purse and found it contained a small clear baggie with a green leafy substance that ap-peared to be marijuana, two glass pipes with a residue inside that smelled like marijuana, a grinder and a box of roll-ing papers. Also in the purse was a pill bottle with the name Jeanna Richter on it and the drug name Citalopram. Inside the bottle were seven capsules with one half clear and the other orange with the words M. Amphet Salts on them. When asked, Doty said the marijuana and pipes belonged to Richter. Trekell asked Doty the last time he smoked marijuana, and he said he smoked it at the house a couple of hours ago. Trekell asked if he used the pipes and marijua-na in the purse, and he said he did.

Trekell returned to his patrol vehicle with the pill bottle and asked Richter whose marijuana was in the purse. She said it was Doty’s car and she was just using it. He reminded her that her child

was in the car and her daughter’s diaper bag and other items were in the car, and he doubted Doty would keep his mari-juana inside a leopard purse. Richter admitted the items were hers. Trekell asked about the pills in the pill bottle, and Richter said she didn’t know there were any pills in her purse. She looked at them, and said she didn’t know what they were, they weren’t her pills and they weren’t the pills that were sup-posed to be in the bottle.

Trekell went back to speak to Doty about the pills. He said they were some pain pills someone gave him for his knee. He said he had them in a plastic bag but he put them in a pill bottle he found on the floorboard of the car.

Both Richter and Doty were placed under arrest and taken to the Alfalfa County Jail. The infant child and the vehicle were released to Richter’s mother.

The pills were identified as amphet-amine and dextroamphetamine tablets, a Schedule II narcotic.

On Dec. 23, Patrick A. Doty was charged with a felony of unlawful pos-session of a controlled drug without a valid prescription, and misdemeanors of possession of a controlled dangerous substance and unlawful possession of paraphernalia.

Jeanna M. Richter was charged with misdemeanors of possession of a con-trolled dangerous substance and unlaw-ful possession of paraphernalia. She was also given a traffic citation for op-erating a motor vehicle without a valid driver’s license.

approved minutes, payroll warrants, M & O Warrants for payments, and blanket purchase orders at their meeting on December 30, 2013.

Only three road crossing permits were approved, all located in District 1, with total revenue of $1500. Two permits were for electric lines and one was for natural gas.

A funding resolution to replace a bridge, located two miles east of Highway 64, two north and six east was approved.

A separate project was approved to move a rural water line.

The commissioners rejected the heat/air bids for the exhibit building at the fairgrounds. They approved a request of the Alfalfa County Fairboard to sign an agreement to purchase power at the fairgrounds.

They also approved an application for purchase of power for the Sheriff’s storage building. A separate meter will be installed there.

By Kristen WyattDENVER (AP) — A gleaming

white Apple store of weed is how Andy Williams sees his new Denver marijuana dispensary.

Two floors of pot-growing rooms will have windows showing the shopping public how the mind-altering plant is grown. Shoppers will be able to peruse drying marijuana buds and see pot trimmers at work separating the valuable flowers from the less-prized stems and leaves.

“It’s going to be all white and

beautiful,” the 45-year-old ex-industrial engineer explains, excitedly gesturing around what just a few weeks ago was an empty warehouse space that will eventually house 40,000 square feet of cannabis strains.

As Colorado prepares to be the first in the nation to allow recreational pot sales, opening Jan. 1, hopeful retailers like Williams are investing their fortunes into the legal recreational pot world — all for a chance to build even bigger ones in a

1. Decrease your speed and leave yourself plenty of room to stop. You should allow at least three times more space than usual between you and the car in front of you.

2. Brake gently to avoid skidding. If your wheels start to lock up, ease off the brake.

3. Turn on your lights to increase your visibility to other motorists.

4. Keep your lights and windshield clean.

Please reduce speeds on icy roads

5. Use low gears to keep traction, especially on hills.

6. Don't use cruise control or overdrive on icy roads.

7. Be especially careful on bridges, overpasses and infrequently traveled roads, which will freeze first. Even at temperatures above freezing, if the conditions are wet, you might encounter ice in shady areas or on exposed roadways like bridges.

8. Don't pass snow plows and sandingtrucks. The drivers have limited visibility, and you're likely to find

the road in front of them worse than the road behind.

9. Don't assume your vehicle can handle all conditions.

Even four-wheel and front-wheel drive vehicles can encounter trouble on winter roads.

By Yvonne MillerZack Odell is chairman of the Ki-

owa Hospital District Board. Recently many questions arose among the public about Odell’s position with the tax-sup-ported district, what capacity he serves beyond board chairman and the money he receives from the district for his ex-tra work.

These questions came up since hos-pital and manor CEO Aldeen “Van” Vandeveer resigned and had his last day September 11.

The Newsgram contacted Odell to discuss the situation.

Odell said since that time he has

acted as a voice of the board for regular employees at the board’s request. Since Van left, Odell said he began meeting weekly with employees and team man-agers to talk and promote teamwork and cooperation. Since that time, the meetings reduced to about every other week or as needed. Odell said board members Jim Parker or Dan Lukins attended some those meetings. Odell handles any issues that arise.

“That first month I was constantly setting up communications with em-ployees,” Odell said.

When asked his title, Odell said, “There’s no label – no contract. This is

not a long term solution.” Odell explained the board realized

the pay of an interim administrator would cost the district nearly $50,000. “The board looked at ways to reduce that cost.” He said board members agreed Odell has good management experience and said he should repre-sent the board with employees and the search for a hospital administrator/CEO.

A longtime employee with SC Tel-com at Medicine Lodge, Odell became general manager of the large corpora-tion in July, replacing Steve Davis who retired. Odell said SC Telcom is his first priority along with his family – then followed by the hospital.

Odell confirmed when he does work for the hospital that is beyond his role as board chairman, he is paid $100 per hour, “almost a management/consul-tant” charge, Odell said.

“It’s subjective on my part. I always err on the side it is a board management function,” Odell said.

He said that first month when he was so busy with hospital employee

issues, he turned in an invoice for 15 hours. Odell said the next few months that amount was about cut in half. For December he said he’s put in nearly 18 hours, but said he’ll invoice about four or five hours. He said a bulk of his extra hospital work is after hours.

Odell praised the hospital’s team managers for making decisions within board perimeters. If they have to go beyond those perimeters they contact Odell. He is involved in more day-to-day activities. If he’s not available they contact vice president Lukins. Robert Stark is the board’s representative for the building committee.

Despite his work, Odell said, “This would not be possible without Carla

Dunigan (interim manor administra-tor). I am not qualified to run the man-or. I also want to thank our department managers. We have a good wealth of experience on our management team. I’m impressed with the decisions they make and their dedication. It’s definite-ly a collaborative effort.” He mentioned all the additional responsibilities board members take on in this interim period.

Before the board agreed to have Odell represent them, he said the board designated member Lori Schrock as their liaison to check with the hospital’s attorney to insure what they were doing was not violating bylaws. The attorney is David Moshier with Hampton and Royce of Salina.

From Page 14 Hospital“It’s the opinion of our attorney that

what I am doing is above and beyond what a board chairman is to do,” Odell said. Speaking again of the collabora-tive effort, Odell said, “We have lots of area for checks and balances.”

Search for Hospital CEOWhen asked about the search for a

hospital CEO, Odell said, “We missed out on the gentleman from Colorado. We’ve expanded our search. We’ve found two candidates – one from New Mexico, the other from Utah. We’re in the process of setting up interviews.”

Odell said the board is working through a recruiting firm. “Our goal is to have a CEO hired in the first quarter of 2014,” he said.

fledgling industry that faces an uncertain future.

Officials in Colorado and Washington, the other state where recreational pot goes on sale in mid-2014, as well as activists, policymakers and governments from around the U.S. and across the world will not be the only ones watching the experiment unfold.

So too will the U.S. Department of Justice, which for now is not fighting to shut down the industries.

“We are building an impressive showcase for the world, to show them this is an industry,” Williams says, as the scent of marijuana competes with the smell of sawdust and wet paint in the cavernous store where he hopes to sell pot just like a bottle of wine.

Will it be a showcase for a safe, regulated pot industry that generates hundreds of millions of dollars each year and saves money on locking up drug criminals, or one that will prove, once and for all, that the federal government

has been right to ban pot since 1937?Cannabis was grown legally in the

U.S. for centuries, even by George Washington. After Prohibition’s end in the 1930s, federal authorities turned their sights on pot. The 1936 propaganda film “Reefer Madness” warned the public about a plant capable of turning people into mindless criminals.

Over the years, pot activists and state governments managed to chip away at the ban, their first big victory coming in 1996 when California allowed medical marijuana. Today, 19 other states, including Colorado and Washington, and the District of Columbia have similar laws.

Those in the business were nervous, fearing that federal agents would raid their shops.

“It was scary,” recalls Williams, who along with his brother borrowed some $630,000 from parents and relatives to open Medicine Man in 2009. “I literally had dreams multiple times a week where I was in prison and couldn’t see my wife or my child. Lot of sleepless nights.”

That same year, the Justice Department told federal prosecutors they should not focus investigative resources on patients and caregivers complying

with state medical marijuana laws — but the department reserved the right to step in if there was abuse.

In Colorado, the industry took off. Shops advertised on billboards and radio. Pot-growing warehouses along Interstate 70 in Denver grew so big that motorists started calling one stretch the “Green Zone” for its frequent skunky odor of pot.

The city at one point had more marijuana dispensaries than Starbucks coffee shops, with some neighborhoods crowded with dispensary sign-wavers and banners offering free joints for new customers. Local officials have since ratcheted back such in-your-face ads.

But the marijuana movement didn’t stop. Voters in Colorado and Washington approved recreational pot in 2012, sold in part on spending less to lock up drug criminals and the potential for new tax dollars to fund state programs.

The votes raised new questions about whether the federal government would sue to block laws flouting federal drug law. Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper famously warned residents not to “break out the Cheetos or Goldfish too quickly,” and activists predicated a legal showdown.

That didn’t happen. In August, the DOJ said it wouldn’t sue so long as the states met an eight-point standard that includes keeping pot out of other states and away from children, criminal cartels and federal property.

Colorado law allows adults 21 and older to buy pot at state-sanctioned pot retail stories, and state regulations forbid businesses from advertising in places where children are likely see their pitches.

Only existing medical dispensaries were allowed to apply for licenses, an effort to prevent another proliferation of pot shops. Only a few dozen shops statewide are expected to be open for recreational sales on New Year’s Day.

Legal pot’s potential has spawned businesses beyond retail shops. Marijuana-testing companies have popped up, checking regulated weed for potency and screening for harmful molds. Gardening courses charge hundreds to show people how to grow weed at home.

Tourism companies take curious tourists to glass-blowing shops where elaborate smoking pipes are made. One has clients willing to spend up to $10,000 for a week in a luxury ski resort and a private concierge to show them the state’s pot industry.

Dixie Elixirs & Edibles, maker of pot-infused foods and drinks, is making new labels for the recreational market and expanding production on everything from crispy rice treats to fruit lozenges.

By Mark Kennedy, AP Drama Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Broadway’s highest grossing show in 2013 wasn’t a new strutting musical or a bawdy one or even one with a big star. The crown goes to a regal but mature performer — “The Lion King,” now in its 16th year. And another veteran turned heads when “Wicked” recorded Broadway’s highest single-week gross ever.

The old-timers are going just fine, end-of-year-data from the Broadway League released Monday showed. The 10-year-old “Wicked” earned a stagger-ing $3.2 million over nine performanc-es for the week ending Sunday, the first time a show has ever crossed the $3 million mark in a single week.

Another pro, Elton John and Tim Rice’s “The Lion King,” ruled all other shows during the entire calendar year, ending with nearly $97 million, despite the fact that there are five bigger the-aters on Broadway. For good measure, the show pulled in $2.8 million over nine performances last week, a theater record.

Several other shows — including current Tony winner “Kinky Boots,” the 2011 Tony winner “The Book of Mormon,” the new acrobatic revival of “Pippin,” the sizzling “Betrayal” and the veteran “Chicago” — all finished 2013 with box office records.

“Kinky Boots,” with songs by Cyndi Lauper and a story by Harvey Fierstein, earned a whopping $2.2 million over its nine-performance week, smashing the Al Hirschfeld Theatre record. The revival of “Pippin” also ended the year with a bang: It earned $1.2 million for its eight-show week ending Sunday, a house record for the Music Box The-atre.

“The Book of Mormon,” which took in $90.4 million for the year, set a weekly haul record with $2.1 million over nine shows at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre ending Sunday, and that old murderously wicked “Chicago” showed lots of life by pulling in $1 million over eight shows, a record at the Ambassa-dor Theatre for a show in its 18th year.

The revival of Harold Pinter’s “Be-trayal” starring Daniel Craig, Rachel

Weisz and Rafe Spall not only broke its own weekly record by pulling in $1.4 million over nine shows but producers also crowed that the show had made history as having the best single week for a play ever on Broadway, beating the Tom Hanks-led “Lucky Guy” that earned $1.4 million this spring.

The numbers overall were boosted by steadily increasing ticket prices, high demand from tourists swelling Times Square, reconfigured seating in some theaters and the use of premium-priced seating, in which some tickets are snapped up for very high amounts.

The win for “The Lion King” is just the latest accolade for the show. This year it became the first Broadway show to earn $1 billion, and last year it swiped the title of Broadway’s all-time highest-grossing show from “The Phantom of the Opera.” It is the fourth longest-running Broadway show, be-hind only “Chicago,” ‘’Cats” and “The Phantom of the Opera.”

It’s easy to see why the industry is attracting so many people. A Colorado State University study estimates the state will ring up $606 million in sales next year, and the market will grow from 105,000 medical pot users to 643,000 adult users overnight — and that’s not counting tourists.

Toni Fox, owner of 3D Cannabis Center in Denver, anticipates shoppers camping overnight to await her first-day 8 a.m. opening. She’s thinking of

whether they have built an industry that will not only draw in tens of millions of dollars in revenue but also make a significant dent in the illegal market. Another is whether the regulatory system is up to the task of controlling a drug that’s never been regulated.

There are public health and law enforcement concerns, including whether wide availability of a drug with a generations-old stigma of ruining lives will lead to more underage drug use, more cases of driving while high and more crime.

As state officials watch for signs of trouble, they will also have to make sure they don’t run afoul of the DOJ’s conditions.

using airport-security-line-style ropes to corral shoppers, and suspects she’s going to run out of pot.

A longtime marijuana legalization advocate, she knows it’s a crucial moment for the movement.

“We have to show that this can work,” she says. “It has to.”

The challenges, activists and regulators say, are daunting in Colorado and Washington.
