Kiefer ponders
terminating its
ON G contract
By TERRY HULL
and DEBORAH LARGE
KIEFER — Kiefer may terminate
its contract with Oklahoma Natural
Gas in order to obtain natural gas at
less than half the price from Phillips
66, according to City Clerk Linda
Surmount.
Kiefer has been shopping for a
bargain on natural gas for several
months, Surmount said. The small
community south of Sapulpa, which
buys gas from ONG and sells it to
customers hooked up to the city’s
gas distribution system, may have
found vfeat it’s looking for from
Phillips, sbe said.
Phillips has offered to sell the city
natural gas for $1.49 per thousand
cubic feet, less than half the $3.60
per thousand the city pays ONG.
However, Kiefer must overcome
several hurdles before it can accrue
the savings. Surmount said ac-
complishing the transfer to Phillips
•May Kiefer terminate its ONG
contract? “We feel that we have an
option to terminate it within 30
days,” Surmount said, but added
that wording of the contract “can be
interpreted two ways.”
•Can Kiefer reach an agreement
with ONG to have the Phillips gas
transmitted to Kiefer? ONG owns
the only pipeline that connects to the
city’s gas distribution system.
ONG transmits gas from other
companies to customers by charging
a transmitting fee.
“If we go with Phillips, we will see
if we can transmit their gas through
ONG lines and what their fee will
be,’’ said Surmount. She added that
preliminary research showed that
ONG charges most customers 60
cents per thousand cubic feet for
transmission.
“ONG, from what we understand,
could pretty much name their own
transmission fee,” Surmount said. A

Football
fracas set
By Hie Herald Staff
The public will get its first official
glimpse of the 1966 version of the
Sapulpa High School football Chief-
tains Friday night.
Sapulpa is scheduled to host Tulsa
Bishop Kelley and 1985 state runner-
up Muskogee at Collins Stadium.
The junior varsities will start the
scrimmage at 6:30 p.m., with var-
sities to follow.
Admission to the scrimmage is
free, but Sapulpa coaches are asking
for donations of soap or towels at the
gate.
In the meantime, Sapulpa High
School athletic director Norman
Dillard has been forced to hold back
the official varsity football schedule
due to scheduling problems with the
Tulsa schools.
Dillard said today that his office
has received conflicting reports
from Tulsa school district athletic
director Ed Lacy and East Central
athletic director Ed Dyer as to the
exact date of the Chieftain-Cardinal
football game.
Hie two schools were originally
scheduled to play Sept. 19 at Tulsa’s
Webster Stadium.
The game was then changed to
Thursday, Sept. 18, earlier today,
before a late phone call made that
date also unofficial.
The problem originates in Tulsa,
where the public schools are forced
to share the city’s football fields.
Although the East Central contest
is still up in the air as to when it will
be played, Dillard did announce one
change in the varsity schedule to-
day.
The Chieftains’ game Against
Tulsa Rogers, scheduled for Friday,
Sept. 26, has been moved to the
Thursday, Sept. 25. That games is
also scheduled for Webster Stadium

The Wagon Wheel, a Sapulpa club
on New Sapulpa Road, is among 42
Tulsa-area clubs and 135 across the
state that will lose their liquor
licenses for failure to remit taxes to
the statp, according to the Oklahoma
Tax Commission.
Owner of the Sapulpa club, Ann
Dunlap of Tulsa, could not be reach-
ed for comment Thursday. She pur-
chased the club from Fred Parks in
December, Parks said.
Cindy Rambo, chairman of the tax
commission, issued a statement
Wednesday saying the clubs’ tax
permits were revoked as part of a
stepped-up tax collection effort that
has recently netted about $500,000 in
delinquent taxes.
Tax Commission officials said the
revocations involved sales taxes and
the 10 percent mixed beverage tax.
Ms. Rambo said the intensified tax
collection effort was made possible
by new state laws strengthening en-
forcement procedures and increased
appropriations to improve the
agency’s computer capacity.
She said 447 drinking

The key to a quality school system
is community involvement, accor-
ding to Shamrock School principal,
Don Arney.

it,” he said. “Getting the community

has become part of our job. ”
Evidently, Amey’s theory of help-
ing a child develop in all areas is
working. Monday, two days before
all the students by name,” he said.
“Itis like a family.”
Enrollment at Shamrock this fall
is expected to be around 50 students.
The school runs grades kindergarten
through sixth.
“We have a very small school, on-
ly four teachers,” he said.
Even though the school is small, it
has an impressive scholastic record.
“We have upped our scholastic pro-
gram 40 percent over the last three
years,” Arney said.
One reason is the school’s par-
ticipation in scholastic bowls.
Last year, Shamrock placed in
several categories including math
, and reading at the scholastic bowl
held in Sand Springs.
“Eight schools participated, and
they were all larger than Shamrock
by at least 50 to 100 students,” he
said.
Arney attributes small classes and
more individualized attention as
_ part of the reason for their
scholastic success.

“Small classes give us the oppor-
tunity to get to know the child and
concentrate on skills,” he said. "You
can do this sort of thing with 12 kids
in a class. When you have 30 kids
there is no way.”
Some of the programs Shamrock
offers includes a music program and
a computer program which they co-
op with Milfay.
“We are also going to try to offer a
Spanish program this year," he
said.
Shamrock was originally built in
1926. “We are still using the gym-
nasium that was built by the WPA,”
said Arney. The inside of the school
was completely remodeled in 1982.
WASHINGTON (AP) - If
Abraham Lincoln made a return
visit to the newly refurbished
Willard Hotel, he probably couldn’t
afford a night in the presidential
suite.
