Voters to get second chance
CLAREMORE — City officials are giving voters a second
chance at passing a measure amending the city charter.
Claremore voters went to the poles on Aug. 27, and by a slim
margin, failed to pass a proposition that would have amended the
city charter. The question failed 1,217 to 1,442.
The current city charter went into effect in May 1995 after being
voted on and passed by Claremore residents in 1994.
The amended city charter will go back before voters Nov. 5. It
doesn't involve any sort of tax change.
Amendments to the city charter include creating a department of
finance, changing the city treasurer title to director of finance, chang-
ing the rules and procedures for proposing and adopting general and
emergency ordinances and it will change the residency requirements
for the city manager
The change would no longer require the city manager to live
within the city limits. It would increase the value of property to
$25.(XX). up from $2<>.<XX). that may be sold without a special ordi-
nance.
Several other changes are proposed and officials are hoping vot-
ers will pass the amended city charter question on its second try in
order to bring the document more into line with state statutes.
Board suspends assistant
TAHLEQUAFI — After a lengthy termination hearing, the school
board voted to suspend Nonna Roach, an assistant librarian, without
pay until Jan. 5. at which time she will he reinstated as a full-time
employee of the schmtl district.
The charge was insubordination.
"I can live w ith that." Roach said, "and I'm glad it's over. I just
get a little vacation now.”
In its "findings of fact," the board determined that Roach was
guilty of misconduct. But. based on years of faithful service from
Roach, w ith no previous disciplinary problems and an obvious value
to the district, the hoard reduced the punishment from termination to
suspension. It also suggested a possible reassignment for Roach
when she resumes sen ice w ith the district.
Roach, an assistant librarian at Central Elementary for the past 10
years, was charged with ignoring a directive from her supervisor.
According to testimony. Central Principal Gary Goodwin had asked
her to cover an in-school suspension class tor one hour. She later
apologized for her actions.

tourism in Oklahoma, re-
cruiting and retaining quality
teachers, targeting substance
abuse, and the availability and
affordability of health insur-
ance.
While Fallin said she has
worked closely with lawmakers
to help draft legislation, her
Democratic opponent said she
believes the office of lieutenant
governor has become more cer-
emonial during Fallin's tenure.
“That is an office that has be-
come purely ceremonial,” Boyd
said. "I have a very different vi-
sion of what the lieutenant gov-
ernor’s office and responsibili-
ties are. I do think it’s important
to cut ribbons and represent the
state, but I think it should be
substantive as well as ceremoni-
al.”
A former teacher who served
on several education-related
committees during her six years
representing Norman in the
Oklahoma House of
Representatives, Boyd said edu-
cation issues are at the top of
her agenda.
"My number one job as lieu-
tenant governor is to make sure
that whoever is governor suc-
ceeds in the statements that he
has been making that they will
make education first, whether
it's a Republican, and
Independent or a Democrat,"
said Boyd, who spent the last
several years lobbying lawmak-
ers on behalf of the Oklahoma
Federation of Teachers. “All of
them have said that, and that's
something that l want to do is
facilitate the reality of that.”
Boyd has also unveiled a
“Nursing Home Bill of Rights"
and plans to set up a division in
the lieutenant governor's office
to handle concerns of seniors
and their caretakers.
“It will be a one-stop place
for seniors or adult children to
get answers to their questions
quickly, efficiently and effec-
tively ... so their needs can be
addressed." Boyd said. "Right
now it's very difficult. Whether
you're a 55 year old adult child,
certainly if you're an 85 year
old senior, at the moment indi-
viduals make that call, they have
a need, and that need is general-
ly urgent to them."

CRIME
When it comes to priorities,
longtime Norman political ac-
tivist E.Z. Million said promot-
ing tourism is at the top of his
list.
"In a nutshell. I'm running to
promote tourism in Oklahoma,
and part of that is bringing the
OU/Texas football game to
Norman when OU is the home
team," said Million, who made
his pitch for moving the game to
the OU Board of Regents in
June.
Million said Oklahoma is
suffering through an "economic
and population death spiral" and
said Oklahoma could generate
hundreds of millions of dollars
for the economy by moving the
game to Norman every other
year.
“It's cost the state of
Oklahoma over $150 million
and a Congressional seat, which
will probably be valued at $1
billion over the next 10 years,"
Million said. "That is a big
penalty for the state to have to
pay for the ignorance, arrogance
and incompetence of a few offi-
cials at OU.”
Maguire, the other independ-
ent in the race, agrees that pro-
moting tourism in the state is a
priority and added that
Oklahoma should sell the state-
owned golf courses and lodges.
“I think we ought to get out
of the lodge business," he said.
“All of them have operated at a
loss."
Maguire said he would also
like to make the state more at-
tractive for senior citizens and
work with the legislature to re-
duce the number of
Oklahomans who are in prison
for non-violent offenses.
“We have one of the highesi
rates of prisoners in the United
States." Maguire said, "and a
good percentage of them are in
prison for non-violent crimes.
There ought to be a belter way
to keep them out of prison."
Maguire, who considers hint-
self an “old-time campaigner,"
ran for state treasurer twice in
1990 and 1994. and said he en-
joys meeting with people and
campaigning around the state.
"Plus, it keeps me out of the
pool hall," he joked.
