7th & Broadway, Kingfisher, OK

Mary Krepel was in attendance because she had roots in cooperative extension. Her father, Ervin Junkaus was an extension agent at Fergus Falls, Minn., in the early 1950’s for about five years.

“Mom said he had lots of 4-H Clubs and was never home. There were 12 kids in our family and we were all 4-H’ers. Even though he has died, we have a wonderful heri-

tage,” Krepel said.Junkaus went on to become a Lu-

theran minister and always farmed.The Oklahoma Cooperative

Extension Service (OCES) has dedi-cated 2014 to celebrating its 100th an-niversary of extending knowledge and changing lives. Extension has worked one-on-one, side-by-side with the farmers and families of Oklahoma solving everyday chal-lenges and local issues.

tolerates acid soils. It is known to have a problem with stripe rust so the producer must be willing to apply a fungicide.

Duster – has many strengths including forage production, high tillering ability, excels in grazing and is hessian fly resistant. Weaknesses include straw strength and yield in grain-only systems.

Gallagher – this is an Oklahoma bred wheat, Duster cross. It is late maturing to the first hollow stem and does not tolerate acid soils. It has a good disease package, decent

grazing and forage production and its seed size is 10 percent greater than Duster. It is not hessian fly resistant.

Everest – this is a Kansas State University variety so it does better in the northern part of the state. It has good yield potential, good dis-ease resistance and its grazability is average. It is not hessian fly resistant and may require a fungicide.

Jackpot – an early maturing wheat, but it handles grazing well. It has good yield potential and it is tolerant of acid soils. Its weakness is leaf rust and powdery mildew.

Doans – is tolerant of acid soils, but its biggest strength is test weight and straw strength. It also rebounds well from grazing.

Greer – an early maturing wheat with good production and good re-sistance to diseases. Its weaknesses

include leaf rust and test weight.WB Cedar – its weakness is

drought tolerance, but it is near the top on yield potential without drought. It is more of a north central variety with an excellent disease package.

WB Grainfield – its strength is drought tolerance. It has an average grazability and is not tolerant of acid soils.

Winter Hawk – has good drought tolerance. It does better if grown in western Oklahoma because it is not disease resistant.

Dr. Carver suggested a lime program for wheat. He said it is especially important for forage pro-duction, more so than a grain-only program. Phosphorus has to be added every year, whereas lime can be added every three to five years.

cially able to make such a significant and historical general membership payment this year,” Ruhl said.

Ruhl also discussed ongoing regulatory challenges affecting the telecommunications industry and their potential impact on rural telephone cooperatives like Pioneer.

“The road ahead will be ex-tremely difficult and challenging for rural telecom,” Ruhl said. “As

a result of these formidable chal-lenges to our industry, the Pioneer board of trustees, management and employees continue to diversify our revenue streams, review cost reduc-tion strategies and review business opportunities to expand our service areas and offerings.”

This year’s meeting included entertainment by Spencer Lloyd, cousin of local residents Scott Os-born and Debbie Osborn, who made

it to the Top 30 of this year’s season of American Idol.

Board of Trustees President Mike Dobrinski presided over the meeting, with the Rev. Pete Peterman leading the invocation, Dave Krittenbrink leading the Pledge of Allegiance and Jenny Richelle of Kingfisher singing the National Anthem.

Jim Eaton, vice president of finance and administration, present-ed the financial report.

– no mean feat after a more than 15-year absence from state competition, but even more remarkable this year when the band was bumped up to Class 4A and competed against schools the size of Ada, Elk City, Clinton and Weatherford.

This year, the band was rated superior by all three judges at district competition and excellent by each of the judges in the fiercely competitive state contest.

Band members also received a number of superior ratings at Tri-State in Enid this month.

Ensembles rated superior in-cluded:

Flute trio – Macy Eminger, Car-oline Powell and Stephanie Soto.

Saxophone quartet – Devan Bettencourt, tenor; Noah Verkler and Triston Warren, alto, and Dylan Byers, baritone.

Soloists rated superior included: Eminger, flute; Macy Boden, clari-net; Bettencourt, Verkler and War-ren, alto sax, and Byers, baritone sax.

Soto also performed a flute solo and earned an excellent rating.

Kingfisher’s drum line finished first in the Tri-State drum line contest, including: Jason Booth on quads, Harrison Powell and

Brennen French on snare, Robert Reid and Marcus Cruz on bass and Dawson Leffingwell on cymbals.

The entire band was rated excel-lent in the Tri-State marching contest and received superior ratings in both parade and field marching at Hennessey Band Day.

The high school band also was selected as Band of the Week by KOFM Radio Station in Enid and invited to perform on the air.

A number of high school and middle school band students were selected as members of the All-Area band, including Powell, Betten-court, Eminger, Verkler, Warren, Malachi McLain, Soto and Boden.

Powell and Verkler were named to the Small School All State Band and Bettencourt was named to the Southwestern Oklahoma State University All Senior Honor Band.

The middle school and high school bands also performed togeth-er on several occasions, including the SWOSU homecoming parade, where 80 7-12th grade band mem-bers marched together and then joined in with 700 band students from Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas to perform as a mass band during the SWOSU homecoming game.

Then band students in grades

5-12 joined with the Hennessey band to form a nearly 200-piece county band to march in the King-fisher Christmas Parade, one of the largest bands to ever march down Kingfisher’s Main Street.

Younger band members also received superior ratings at their competitions: the fifth grade band at the Seiling Music Festival, the sixth grade band at the Pride of Oklahoma Music Festival and the seventh and eighth grade band at the Heartland Music Festival.

Horn is already looking forward to next year, when he expects a net gain of at least six band members with six seniors graduating this month and a dozen or so eighth graders moving up.

But he is especially enthusiastic about the growth potential he sees in the lower grades, where he provides music enrichment in the after school program.

“There’s lots of excitement brew-ing among the current fourth grade class for band,” he said. “But none of this can happen without the support we get from the administration, band parents and the community.”
