HAVE YOU SEEN THIS WOMAN??? OKLA. GOV. MARY FALLIN About three months ago, The Boise City News, sent Gov. Fallin an e-mail to her office informing her that though we were sure she and the Federal Government were helping our farmers, that the people of Cimarron County needed to see her boots on the ground to know she cared. We re- ceived no answer and the Gov- ernor, has yet to visit, (She missed two opportunities while campaigning.) We offered a bounty of $50 for Governor Henry, but since Ms. Fallin carried the county and she still hasn’t visited, The Boise City News will pay $25 to the per- son that proves to us she’s been here as governor. This home in Southwest Boise City lost its roof Friday evening. There were no injuries. By C.F. David The home of Mark and Eliza- beth Hensley was destroyed by a storm that passed through Boise City Friday evening. The storm, either a down burst, straight wind, or small tornado, first toppled a tree on South Ellis in front of the Bob Tapp home. It then passed over Ken Miller’s horse corrals and re-arranged his horse feeders and other heavy objects before passing over South Highway 64 and striking the Hensley home. This is the third trailer home that has been either damaged or destroyed this year. In mid-April, a home just east of Boise City was destroyed by either straight or tornadic winds and in early June, a trailer home in west cen- tral Boise City suffered heavy damage when winds passed over. Neither of the Hensleys was home; however, their daughter Kristina Villarreal and her two children were. “My kids were at the north end of the house, I was at the other end getting ready for work,” Villarreal said. “I felt the wind come up and heard the rain. The trailer shook a little, but it’s a trailer and it shakes in the wind. I started up the hall and it shook so hard that I fell into the Storm Destroys Trailer Home kitchen cabinets and onto my hands and knees,” she contin- ued. “I was crawling on my hands and knees trying to get to my kids; they were in the hall, clutch- ing each other and crying.” None of the three were physically injured, but were left shaken by the incident. Villarreal and her children were left wid- owed and fatherless earlier this year when her husband was murdered in Cactus, Texas in early May. The trailer had been strapped down, but the straps broke with the force of the storm and the roof was scattered in pieces for 300 yards or more. When asked if the home had been insured, Mark Hensley re- sponded sadly, “No. We have been trying to help everyone…the grandkids. No, it wasn’t insured.” As friends and family emp- tied the home, taking the rain- soaked property to a storage area, Hensley said he had no idea what if anything had been taken by the storm. “We haven’t even tried to figure that out yet.” For now, the couple is living with relatives. A fund has been established for the Hensleys at the First State Bank of Boise City. “Inquiry is fatal to cer- tainty.” - Will Durant MIRANDA FLEMING/The Guymon Daily Herald After a lot of hard work, Baleigh Roberts (13) of Boise City proudly donates $1,200, toiletry items and tie-blan- kets for youth shelter recipients to Guymon’s Youth Shel- ter Board member/Councelor Judy Stedje. By MIRANDA FLEMING Reporter [email protected] One young lady from Boise City has earned the Guymon Daily Herald’s “Good Neighbor Award” for donating the last six weeks to improving the lives of other Panhandle kids and young people in need. While working toward the Girl Scout “Silver Award,” 13 year old Baleigh Roberts was searching for just the right hu- manities project, where she could make a difference in the community and attain her goal of the required 40 hours of work/ service at the same time. “The Silver Award is the sec- ond highest award a Girl Scout can earn,” said Roberts, “My mom gave me the idea from an add for the Guymon Youth Shel- ter in the Boise City news pa- per.” County Scout Makes $1,200 Youth Shelter Donation Roberts knew it was the project for her and contacted Youth Shelter Board member and Counselor, Judy Stedge for permission to proceed a project to raise money and donations for the shelter. At the end of May, Roberts got to work on the project and said, “I went around to the Boise City businesses and asked for donations.” Roberts reported she also hosted a bake sale with goods she and other Girl Scouts made, placed an add in the newspaper, asking the community to help with donations of money or goods and made six tie-blankets for the kids at the youth shelter to keep and make them more comfortable. With a smile, Roberts proudly said, “I raised over $1,200 and donated items (a variety of toi- letries) for the shelter.” Written by The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians Michael Cox, an NREMT Paramedic, was recently recog- nized by the Board of Directors of the National Registry of Emergency Medical Techni- cians (NREMT) for achieving 25 consecutive years as a Na- tionally Registered EMT. This distinction is an honor held by few EMTs. To maintain his status as a National Registered EMT, Michael completed, on a bien- nial basis, the most comprehen- sive recertification program for Emergency Medical Techni- cians in America. He not only completed courses to refresh his fundamental knowledge and skills but also attended a mini- mum of two hours per month of additional continuing education courses to advance his knowl- edge on new lifesaving skills. By maintaining his Nationally Registered status and complet- ing regular continuing education courses, Michael is among the few elite EMTs with the most training in pre-hospital emer- gency medical care in the na- tion. Michael was Nationally Reg- istered as a Paramedic in 1986 and has been serving the Tri- State area since 1986. Michael has worked in many Paramedic stations, including a Fixed Wing Ambulance, in Liberal, Kansas. The National Registry of Emergency Medical Techni- cians serves as the national EMS certification organization by providing a valid, uniform pro- cess to assess the knowledge and skills required for compe- tent practice by EMS profes- sionals throughout their careers and by maintaining a registry of certification status. EMT Michael Cox Local EMT Recognized for 25 Years of Service Gerald Dixon, of Guymon will be signing copies of his book “80 Years in No Man’s Land” on Saturday, July 30, from 1 to 3:30 at the Cimarron Heritage Cen- ter in Boise City. “Even if you don’t buy a book, come out, look through the museum and leave a good do- nation,” Dixon suggested. Dixon will also speak briefly on his history in the area. He grew up on a farm about 12 miles northwest of Guymon, and graduated from Guymon’s High School. He has been a jockey, and then returned home to farm and run a lucrative real estate busi- ness. Much of the farmland he owns is in Cimarron County. Dixon became a footnote in Colorado land law by represent- ing himself in a case involving severed minerals and winning. He has served as an ap- praiser for the School Land Commission, and has rubbed shoulders with several legends of Oklahoma politics, (he was O.U. Coach Bud Wilkinson’s campaign manager for the U.S. Senate). Dixon is a board member of No Man’s Land Museum in Goodwell. The book has been re-issued with new material and Dixon typed it on a 1941 Royal type- writer that he received from a man who became a mentor to him early in his business career. Dixon made a gift of a re- stored 1917 Federal truck to CMH, and credits the museum as being one of the best in the area. Come Saturday to listen to Dixon speak, buy a book, and look at the museum’s displays.

OKLA. GOV. MARY FALLIN
About three months ago,The Boise City News, sent Gov.Fallin an e-mail to her officeinforming her that though we
were sure she and the FederalGovernment were helping ourfarmers, that the people ofCimarron County needed tosee her boots on the groundto know she cared. We re-ceived no answer and the Gov-ernor, has yet to visit, (Shemissed two opportunities whilecampaigning.)

This home in Southwest Boise City lost its roof Fridayevening. There were no injuries.
By C.F. DavidThe home of Mark and Eliza-
beth Hensley was destroyed bya storm that passed throughBoise City Friday evening. Thestorm, either a down burst,straight wind, or small tornado,first toppled a tree on South Ellisin front of the Bob Tapp home.It then passed over Ken Miller’shorse corrals and re-arrangedhis horse feeders and otherheavy objects before passingover South Highway 64 andstriking the Hensley home.
This is the third trailer homethat has been either damaged ordestroyed this year. In mid-April,a home just east of Boise Citywas destroyed by either straightor tornadic winds and in earlyJune, a trailer home in west cen-tral Boise City suffered heavydamage when winds passedover.
Neither of the Hensleys washome; however, their daughterKristina Villarreal and her twochildren were.
“My kids were at the northend of the house, I was at theother end getting ready forwork,” Villarreal said. “I felt thewind come up and heard therain. The trailer shook a little, butit’s a trailer and it shakes in thewind. I started up the hall and itshook so hard that I fell into the
Storm Destroys Trailer Homekitchen cabinets and onto myhands and knees,” she contin-ued.
“I was crawling on my handsand knees trying to get to mykids; they were in the hall, clutch-ing each other and crying.”
None of the three werephysically injured, but were leftshaken by the incident. Villarrealand her children were left wid-owed and fatherless earlier thisyear when her husband wasmurdered in Cactus, Texas inearly May.
The trailer had been strappeddown, but the straps broke withthe force of the storm and theroof was scattered in pieces for300 yards or more.
When asked if the home hadbeen insured, Mark Hensley re-sponded sadly, “No. We havebeen trying to helpeveryone…the grandkids. No, itwasn’t insured.”
As friends and family emp-tied the home, taking the rain-soaked property to a storagearea, Hensley said he had no ideawhat if anything had been takenby the storm. “We haven’t eventried to figure that out yet.”
For now, the couple is livingwith relatives.
