the vaccine.
According to reports released by
Baylor, flu vaccine has proven to be
approximately 85 percent effective in
helping people avoid the flu. It has
been shown to significantly lower the
risk of hospitalization for influenza
and pneumonia in people 65 and
older.
“Flu shots arc very important,
especially for the chronically ill and
those 65 and over," said Sarah Raine,
a registered nurse at the Tulsa Outpa-
tient Clinic.
Unlike other vaccinations that last
10 or 20 years or even a lifetime, flu
vaccinations are required annually to
be effective. Pneumonia vaccines,
however, are lifetime inoculations.
T he (flu) virus changes each year,
and scientists have to change the vac-
cine just to stay ahead of it,” Raine
said. Contrary to a once popular
belief, the vaccination docs not make
those who take it sick. The vaccine is
derived from virus that already has
been killed.
In addition to the county health
department, other agencies or health
care providers offering flu and pneu-
monia shots arc:
■ Tri County Council on Aging, 9

had never employed three full-time
officers.
The report added the problem with
the expended federal funds had been
forwarded to the U S. Department of
Justice. The report stated there were
other instances where funds were ille-
gally transferred from one account to
another to cover other debts.
It reported the town issued
$12().(XK) in general obligation bonds
in October 1994.
The bonds called for an annual
payment of $15,000 to be covered by
ad valorem tax revenue.
But, the report added the account
was short $33,950.
Beck explained the investigators
believe the funds from the account
had been transferred to other town
accounts to cover other debts.
In one count of embezzlement,
Surmont is alleged to have overpaid
herself $77,903 in salaries during the
2 1/2-ycar time period.
The report added the former town
clerk apparently collected $5,377 as
unused vacation time. In every
instance the payment was approved by
former Kiefer Mayor Jerry Crawford.
Another finding in the report cov-
ered $740 paid from the general fund
for reimbursement of a fireman’s
retirement party.
But. the report stated the warrant
was later cashed in November, 1995
even though the purchase order had
been voided.
The document continued with a
report that 31 separate petty cash war-
rants were endorsed by Surmont. No
dollar amount value of the warrants
were given in the report.
The report revealed that $122,684
were missing from the town’s public
works authority.
The municipal court fund was
found to be short $24,896 but the
report added that auditors were unable
to reconcile the account because of
lack of documentation of court
records.
It also reported records of court
collections from December 1996 to
April 1997 were missing or unavail-
able.
In utility deposits, the report stated
the fund was short $24,680 and col-
lection records for December 1996
were missing.
During the discussion period sever-
al town residents were concerned
about the use of private auditors by
the town.
Beck said that by law his office did
not have the responsibility to perform
routine audits of cities, towns and
public schools.
In the case of Kiefer. Beck said the
private auditor did his job by attaching
an “adverse" rating to the 1994 audit.
Becks said the '94 audit was one of
the major keys that prompted the
Kiefer Board of Trustees to call for a
state investigation.

the state investigation which led to the
uncovering of the $250,164 in missing
funds.
Surmont entered a not guilty plea
before Special District Judge Rick
Woolery Monday and she is expected
to return to court Dec. 12, for the non
issue docket.
A non issue appearance is designed
to give the judge an opportunity to
learn if the case can be disposed of by
negotiation rather than a court trial.
Surmont is charged with five
counts. Four allege she embezzled the
quarter million dollars during a period
from July 1994 to April 1997.
In an Associated Press report Mon-
day, an attorney for Surmont said
there were no strings to the latest or
the other donations made by the fami-
ly. Surmont is currently free on a
S5.IXX) bond and each count carries a
penalty of up to seven years in prison.
She was the elected town clerk for
17 years and according to an affidavit,
Surmont has admitted her crime to
law officers.
During a public airing of the state
auditor’s report, investigator John
Beck reported there was missing
funds that were not found in their
investigation. He said in some cases
so many reports were missing his peo-
ple were unable to accurately deter-
mine the losses.

days written notice on the cancellation
of the contract for the dog’s services.
The subject was approached when
Alexander replaced the canine in use
- a German Shepherd named Thor -
with Dan, also a German Shepherd,
on the police roster and insurance pol-
icy.
Legally, a dog used in drug detec-
tion or other law enforcement purpos-
es is a canine officer, and any injury or
death of the animal at the hands of a
criminal clement becomes a felony
offense if the dog is listed on police
rosters. The animal must be insured as
an officer as well.
Although the agreement under
which the town contracted with
Alexander as handler specified no
dog’s name, trustees opted to cancel it
in lieu of eventually adopting a con-
tract prepared by the town's attorney
at the request of trustees. That con-
tract has never materialized.
The original contract with Alexan-
der for the dog’s services was
approved in March 1997. During that
meeting, the board specifically opted
not to specify the dog’s name in the
event that a dog had to be replaced.
Alexander said at the August meet-
ing that the contract for the dog’s ser-
vices under which the town had oper-
ated for five months was satisfactory
to him.
But trustee Kathy Goodman said it
did not sufficiently protect the town,
nor specify that the town contracted

with Alexander as an individual,
rather than as police chief.
In other action involving the police
department, trustees have scheduled
to discuss and possibly take action on
policy and procedure regarding rou
tine road blocks by the department
within the town limits.
Also on tonight’s agenda is the dis-
cussion and possible action on a reso-
lution setting a policy that would
allow the town to charge a fee of up to
$18 per year for providing public
meeting notices/agendas, pursuant to
Section 311-11 of the Oklahoma
Municipal Code. The policy also
would require a written request annu-
ally for the notices.
Specifically, the policy will apply
to the news media.The town currently
has one written request on file, the
Sapulpa Herald’s. Notice of public
meetings is required by state open
meetings law. However, towns can
assess a fee for the service.
Currently, notice of public meet-
ings of Kellyville’s town trustees and
public works authority arc faxed to
the Herald. Cost of the fax is equal to
the cost of a local telephone call. The
Herald absorbs the cost of the paper
on which the fax is printed.
If trustees approve the fee scale,
Kellyville will be the only public enti-
ty in Creek or Tulsa counties which
charges the newspaper a fee for notifi-
cation of public meetings.
