The vans, registered in Kansas, were stopped on a traffic villation Monday night. The driver was taken to the Cimarron County Sheriff’s Office for questioning about the Feb. 26 robbery of The Fist State Bank of Boise City. He and his vans were later released. by C.F. David A routine traffic stop east of Keyes Monday night brought a Kansas driver in for questioning about last month’s bank robbery in Boise City. The driver, as for now released and unnamed, was driving a one- ton 15- passenger van and pull- ing a white mini-van when stopped by OHP Trooper Duane Johnson Monday night. Johnson stopped the vehicles for a defec- tive tail light on the pulled van. “He had some of those mag- netic towing lights, and was blink- ing on and off,” Johnson ex- plained. When the trooper approached the vehicles he noticed the smaller van was similar in size and color of the reported robbery van and that the driver’s profile bore a resemblance to pictures captured by surveillance cameras at The First State Bank of Boise City. The vehicles, registered in Kansas, (the mini-van had no tags), were westbound when stopped. The driver, with an address in Overland Park, Kan., (a Kansas City suburb), told Johnson that he was pulling the mini-van to Boise City to leave at his uncle’s body shop. “I was impressed that he pro- nounced Boise City correctly,” Johnson said. “So I asked for his uncle’s name.” The driver gave the name of a Spanish male. “Well I knew we had no one by that name with a body shop in Boise City,” Johnson said. Johnson then asked more Kansas Van Driver Investigated, released for Feb. 26 Bank Robbery of First State Bank of Boise City questions. He learned that the man was supposed to work the medical field in a hospital in Overland Park. Then he changed the story on what his job description was. He told me several differ- ent things…lies. I asked him why, he said he got scared,” Johnson shrugged. By this time outside investi- gators had arrived in Boise City, as well as K-9 Deputy Nathan Cobb. Cobb took his partner to a local location and had the dog check for any indication of drugs. It made no hit for drugs, so there was no probable cause to open the van. Meanwhile, an investigator for a federal agency asked for and was denied permission to search the interior of the ve- hicles. A picture of the driver was shown to the Boise City bank teller, but she couldn’t make a positive I.D. The suspect told the investi- gators that he had been at work at the hospital on Friday, the 26 th and gave permission for his pay records at the hospital to be ex- amined. The hospital refused and proceedings for a subpoena were begun. With the investigation sty- mied, the driver and his vehicles were released. By this time, Johnson had learned the mini- van would be eventually towed into Chihuahua, Mexico. “His uncle is supposed to pick it up in Clayton, N.M.,” Johnson said. Really Lucky... There were no injuries on Monday when this truck over- turned at Kerrick, at the intersection of Highways 171 and 287. by C.F. David Boise City Police Chief Dale Harper has arrested and jailed one individual for four of a spree of burglaries executed over the last two weeks. Chad Douglas Marcum, 20, of California has been booked into the Cimarron County jail on a variety of charges, includ- ing first and second degree bur- glary and the concealment of stolen property. Harper said that this arrest has helped to clear four of the burglaries, those of Cimarron Roofing, Something Special, and the Rodeo and VFW Bars. But others are still under inves- tigation. Harper added that he is in- vestigating the role(s) of at least one more adult and a juvenile in the burglaries. Other burglaries are under investigation at the Boise City Co-Op, and the new Love’s now under construction. The burglary of the Rodeo Bar, on South Cimarron was reportedly broken up by the owner and the suspects chased from the bar with the owner wielding a pool cue. The burglary spree has brought business owners to more closely check their busi- nesses at night, and in some cases, some owners have cho- sen to live and sleep in their buildings.

Sands Point, NY 11050 or [email protected] Attorney General Drew Edmondson has begun a run for Governor. He vis- ited Cimarron County on Sunday and Monday By C.F. David Oklahoma’s Attorney Gen- eral Drew Edmondson, accom- panied by his wife Linda, swung through Cimarron County Sun- day and Monday. Edmondson, a Democrat, in his second term as AG has de- cided to run for governor this fall. “This is my first campaign for governor in the Panhandle. I have campaigned in the Pan- handle every year I’ve run for office,” he smiled. Edmondson said that job one for him should he win the governor’s office will be jobs and to stimulate the economy. “2011 is going to be a diffi- cult year,” he said. “We are going to be plug- ging holes in such things as Medicaid. This will be a diffi- cult budget year and it will be necessary to move the economy.” To stimulate the economy Edmondson said problems with oil and gas production would need to be solved and that elec- trical transmission lines and wind energy were also impor- tant. “We [Oklahoma] need to A.G. Drew Edmondson Treks Panhandle in Anticipation of Run for Governor build our renewable energy port- folio. That is a top priority.” “We have no place in Oklahoma that builds the wind turbines so we won’t get those jobs.” Edmondson pointed to the pos- sibility of construction jobs, and the operation of the turbines and lines for the jobs Oklahoma will need. He pointed out that with the closing of Oklahoma City’s GM plant and its takeover by Tinker Air Force Base, that the Oklahoma City area had plenty of early-re- tired United Auto Workers that had skills that the state could use. “There are a number of areas where we need to and can stimu- late jobs. We could be big in bio- medical research. The state is in a good position to give tax incentives to companies wanting to come here.” “We have a lot of natural gas, and I’d be willing to bet there is no where in Cimarron County you can fill your vehicle with compressed natural gas. We need to point out to people that we can power their vehicles, and generate their power with our natural gas…we have about 100 years worth of it to use.” Edmondson again pointed out that those tax incentives could be used right down to a home having a pump installed to fill their own vehicles with CNG. When asked if he had con- cerns about Cap and Trade leg- islation, he replied in the affir- mative. “I worry about what cap and trade might do to Oklahoma’s Oil and Gas Revenues and its agriculture. If it should pass we’ll need to be ready to pivot and take advantage of what we have. It could be that our farm- ers could sell carbon credits.” Asked about the President’s plans for health care, Edmondson said he liked the tack taken by Oklahoma. “I like what we’ve done in Oklahoma with our Insure Oklahoma Plan. We’ve fi- nanced with tobacco taxes and it’s made private health care available to small businesses that otherwise couldn’t have afforded it.” “But, I, as governor would want to stay focused on Okla- homa. We have congressional representation in Washington that understands what Okla- homa wants. From my stand- point I want to let Frank Lucas worry about Washington,” Edmondson said. Farmers and ranchers in 74 Oklahoma counties including Ci- marron County and Texas County, who suffered physical and production losses as a result of combined effects of extreme weather, including drought, floods, hail, freeze, fire, and high winds that began September 1, 2008, and ended June 30, 2009 are re- minded of the upcoming loan ap- plication deadline. According to Stephen Vaughan, Farm Loan Officer, producers have until April 13, 2010, to apply. The loans will be made to assist farmers in re- covering from physical and pro- duction losses. Farm and ranch operators, who have suffered qualifying losses, may be eligible for FSA emergency loans to cover actual physical and produc- tion losses. Emergency loan funds may be used to purchase seed, fer- tilizer, fuel, and repairs. “A farmer can use the money for the most essential operating and living costs,” Mr. Vaughan said. To be eligible for a loan, an ap- plicant must have suffered losses as a direct result of the disaster and be unable to ob- tain credit from other sources. Loans covering actual losses are at an interest rate of 3.75 percent per annum. The amount of the loan is deter- mined by actual certification of loss less any compensation re- ceived, repayment capacity of the borrower, and availability of security.
