Bethel Male Chorus
The Bethel Clarion
Volume XII BETHEL INSTITUTE, ST. PAUL, MINN. APRIL 19, 1933
Forensic Team Wins Male Chorus Tours Six States
Honors at Concordia
Peterson and Clover, Negative
Team, Gain First Victory
Bethel's negative debating team,
Donald Peterson and Donald Clover,
brought back the colors of victory
from the encounter with Concordia
team on Saturday, April 1. The sub-ject
debated was—"Resolved that the
United States should agree to the can-cellation
of all inter-allied war debts."
The judges were Coach Osterhus of
Roosevelt High School, Minneapolis;
Coach Watson of Central High School,
St. Paul; and the Rev. Mr. G. C. Han-son
of St. Paul.
Laura Moss, Bible and Missionary
Training editor of the Clarion, has
discontinued her studies at Bethel for
this year. She returned to her home
in Sioux Falls, S. Dak., in time to wel-come
the Bethel Glee Club to her home
church. Laura plans to resume her
work next fall in the Missionary
Training department.
Laura's departure was a distinct
loss to the Clarion staff. Having had
journalistic experience in High School,
she was a valuable asset to the edi-torial
District Library
Committee Formed
Will Stimulate Interest in St. Anthony
Park Branch Library
A St. Anthony Park Library Com-mittee,
consisting of two representa-tives
from each of the educational
institutions, Parents-Teachers' Asso-ciations
and philanthropic organiza-tions
of the Park, has been organized
recently. Dean Danielson and Prof.
Finstrom represent Bethel Institute
in this committee. The purpose of the
organization is to stimulate interest
in the library (as a part of the city
library system) and to aid in the sup-port
both as regards the addition of
books, the increase of its use, and the
development of new services which the
institution might render the com-munity.
At the last meeting of the commit-tee,
April 3rd, among those who con-tributed
to the discussion were Dr.
Nelson of the City Library Board,
Dean Coffey, and Professor Christian-sen
of the Agricultural College. The
Dean's presentation was highly com-plimentary
to his appreciation of the
higher values in our educational and
community life. Professor Christian-sen
is the Chairman of the Committee.
It is evident that in him the commun-ity
has not only an enthusiastic and
efficient leader but one who has the
best interests of our young people at
Prof. Christiansen announced the
appointment of several sub-commit-tees
which are to go to work imme-diately.
Our representatives have a
place on these committees and thus
it will be possible for Bethel to con-tribute
its share, we hope, to the con-tinuation
of the services which this
library has rendered in the past and
to additional effort if possible.

Well Known Speaker Gives
Series of Chapel Addresses
The Rev. Ray E. York, evangelist
and educator, gave a series of heart-searching
messages in chapel the
week before the Easter recess. His
text, 2 Corinthians 5:19, has taken on
a new meaning to many as the speak-er
developed it, taking a part of it
each morning. In the first clause
"God was in Christ" Dr. York pic-tured
God's being in the helpless babe
of Bethlehem. This is unfathomable
to the finite human mind, but never-theless
true. The next phrase "re-conciling
the world unto Himself" was
used to portray the great love which
God has for this sinful world. The
principle of ethics in reconciliation is
that the one who has done the injury
should make restitution, but in the
Divine principle of ethics this order is
reversed. The offended one takes the
first step. The Lord Jesus Christ
holds out His hand and says, "Let us
be reconciled."
When the invitation was extended
on Saturday morning to those who
wished to accept Jesus Christ as their
personal Saviour, several students re-sponded.
Dr. York's ministry at Bethel has
been a great blessing to Faculty and
Dikkers Takes Third Place In
Twin City Oratorical Contest
The school's representatives at the
Twin City oratorical contest "did
themselves proudly." In what were
conceded to be the most finished
orations of the Forensic League, John
Dikkers and Lester Thompson were
altogether worthy representatives of
Bethel. Their subjects were "Shall
Technocracy Rule ?" and "Christian
Education" respectively.
Figuring on the basis of rank,
John Dikkers tied for first place.
When, to bteak the tie, percentage
was resorted to, Minnehaha was
ahead, with John in third place.
Return Saturday Morning
After Enjoyable Trip
The Glee Club returned early last
Saturday morning after having com-pleted
a successful ten day concert
tour through the states of Minnesota,
Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kan-sas,
and Missouri.
The boys all report a very enjoy-able
as well as a profitable time. The
contacts made with the various
churches of our denomination were
very encouraging and everywhere
they went a keen interest was shown
in the work which our denomination
is doing through Bethel.
Although the weather here in Min-nesota
last week was rather gloomy
and chilly, yet all along the course of
travel the weather was very pleasant.
Not a bit of stormy or disagreeable
weather was reported. It was in-teresting
to note that the further
south they went, the more advanced
the different sections of the country
were in climate. In Kansas and
Missouri especially the leaves on the
trees and bushes have come out, and
the spring flowers are in full bloom.
Kansas City was the most interesting
stopping place on the trip. Rev. A.
J. Dahlby, pastor of the church there,
proved a very worthy host. The con-cert
was held in the Kansas City
church on Sunday evening April 9.
On Monday morning the boys were
taken to the war memorial in Kansas
City. Although the memorial is not
yet completed it was a place of great
interest. Relics are on display in this
place from every war in which our
country has taken part, from Revolu-tionary
days down to the present time.
One of the interesting parts of the
trip was traveling in the bus. The
Jefferson Transportation Company
had provided one of their best buses
for the tour, and one of the very best
drivers as well. Every one who took
the tour has learned to love and
esteem him, for through his winsome
personality the tour became all the
more successful. No motor trouble
of any kind was had except a flat tire
last Friday night driving in from
At nearly every place visited the
Glee Club came in contact with
former Bethelites. Five of the pas-tors
of the churches visited have been
students in our Seminary.
The Club also had the privilege of
singing to unseen audiences. On
Wednesday April 12th they sang over
the radio station in Sioux City, Iowa.
kOonF. riday, April 14th they sang over
the station in Sioux Falls, South Da-ta
The mileage covered on the tour
was nineteen hundred and sixty miles,
and the average mileage per day, one
hundred ninety-six miles. The most
strenuous day of the tour was the
drive made from Sioux Falls, South
Dakota to Stromsburg, Nebraska on
the 7th of April, when because of
poor roads a detour was made through
Omaha. The bus travelled about
three hundred fifty miles that day,
being on the road for eleven hours.
Students Conduct Meetings
at Wheelock Parkway Chapel
The evangelistic meetings which the
Bethel students are conducting at the
Wheelock Parkway Chapel, opened
last night.
At these meetings, which will be of
two weeks' duration, the students and
faculty of Bethel will have an oppor-tunity
of not only expressing their
talents, but also of putting into prac-tice
the truths learned about God and
His plan of salvation.

Most of us have been thinking seriously the
past few weeks. Dr. York, during his visit here,
brought to us a vivid realization of the reality of
God, and of His infinite love, "in Christ reconciling
the world unto Himself, not reckoning unto men
their trespasses."
Those of us who name His name have felt the
urge to search ourselves, to give ourselves in
deeper consecration, knowing that—
"Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my life, my soul, my all."
Others have been led to seek for that light,
that faith which makes us children of God, and
have openly made known their desire to us.
We admire their courage, and we commend
their vision, their sense of values. They have
chosen "the better part"—they have made the
most important choice of life.
And we hope that this seeking shall continue.
May we all help and encourage one another, taking
care lest in any way we hinder, or cause anyone
to stumble.
"More things are wrought by prayer than this
world dreams of."
When we look about us we cannot help but see
the power of prayer. Bethel has gone through a
year of trial ; it seemed as though its doors would
have to be closed, but by prevailing prayer it has
passed through a successful year spiritually and
Prayer is not only an opportunity for us to
"ask abundantly", but it is also a blessed privilege
of communing with the Lord of Lords, and to en-ter
into the Holy of Holies to the very presence
of the Almighty. It is an audience with the King.
Who's Who
E. A. Finstrom
Mr. E. A. Finstrom came to Bethel
in the fall of 1920. He has taught in
both the Seminary and Academy and
is at the present time instructor in the
Junior College and the Seminary. He
is also librarian at the Seminary.
Mr. Finstrom was born in Cadillac,
Michigan, receiving his early training
in the rural schools of that state. He
is a graduate of the University of
Chicago Divinity School (Swedish De-partment)
; of the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary with the degree
Th. M.; and the University of Chicago
with a Ph. B. After his graduation
from the University of Chicago, Mr.
Finstrom served four years as pastor
at Kingsley, Michigan, until he was
called by the school board of Bethel
Mr. Finstrom has impressed us all
with his ability to do a great deal of
work efficiently and promptly. He
has nearly every summer pursued ad-ditional
studies at the University of
Minnesota. Since the organization of
the Lake Park church, Mr. Finstrom
has served as its pastor. This church,
being in the same community as
Bethel Institute, has given many of
the students an opportunity to serve
their Lord and Master in the Sunday
School and other services of the
Never resent the behaviour of an
ill-bred person.
Remember, no one can insult you—
he is simply showing his own bad
There is a courtesy of the heart—
from it springs the purest courtesy in
the outer behaviour.
Good manners are neither more nor
less than good behaviour, consisting

The small courtesies sweeten life,
the greater ennoble it.
Lincoln, when speaking of driving,
said, "If a man will not turn out for
me, I turn out for him." He certain-ly
had a lovely spirit, didn't he ?
Politeness is to Do and Say the
Kindest Thing in the Kindest Way.
Washington, the Gentleman
It is said that George Washington
once made a contemptible remark
about Colonel Payne, who at once
arose in anger and knocked Washing-ton
to the floor. In Colonial days
such an act was considered a challenge
to a duel. Washington met Colonel
Payne not long afterward, and going
to him, held out his hand, saying, "My
friend, I used language that was un-becoming
a gentleman, and you
promptly knocked me down. If you
have had satisfaction enough, let us be
friends." Is it strange that Washing-ton
has always been known as a
courtly gentleman ? Courtesy ever
brings its own reward, and Colonel
Payne and General Washington were
friends indeed.
The Book Corner
By H. C. Wingblade
A rather small book about a rather great man
came out recently in REUBEN ARCHER TORREY
—THE MAN AND HIS MESSAGE by Robert
Harkness, his musical associate (Bible School Press,
Chicago). The author says in his preface that the
book is not an attempt at a complete record but at
a means of inspiration, to all who read it, to more
holy living and more fruitftil service.
Mr. Harkness discovers his friend to the reader
as a man called of God to a great task,—as a man
of staunch faith, of deep prayer life, and of dominat-ing
convictions. He shows him forth as a rare Bible
teacher, and as a personal worker led at times seem-ingly
most miraculously of God.
As a preacher in the pulpit, he was a master of
every situation, because he was firmly planted on
the Word of truth. His messages and his meetings
were to be dominated by the Holy Spirit, with an
utter thrusting aside of man-made arguments or
man-made tricks. "Don't argue with a sinner", was
his warning; "if the Spirit of God is not working,
you have no chance."
His messages were characterized by simplicity
and power. As those keen, bright eyes shone, that
voice rang out unhesitatingly and unmistakably to
the utmost listener.
Pick the book up and glance through it. You
may decide to read it. The book is on the reserve
Much Ado .. .
What's It For . . .?
Did you ever leave the house on a nice afternoon to
go for a joy ride some place out in the country ? What
did you find to greet as you tried to view the scenes on
the side of the road ? Nothing less than a lot of signs
blocking the view. The mean thing about them is that
there is no particular good in their being there,—they
could just as well be "gotten along without".
Or, to get a little closer home—did you ever start
walking down the hall and find your view blocked, passage
denied, and yourself disgusted ? Why ? Just because a
bunch of people are planted there not doing any particular
good. And they could just as well be "gotten along with-out".
We have a comfortable reception room furnished for
us in the Academy-College building. How would it be
to go in there and enjoy making a date the way a man
should instead of standing in the hall with one arm around
the big "knob" at the bottom of the stairs. Then too,
probably a person would feel more like drinking from the
fountain if there wouldn't be so many people sitting on it
while they talk about something worthless.
Another Suggestion
The St. Paul Pioneer Press has a special page for
High School news every Saturday. I am sure they would
be glad to publish any news the Academy students' send
in. This is a good opportunity to advertise our school,
and it would perhaps eliminate that embarrassing situa-tion
one finds oneself in when having to explain that
Bethel Academy is across from the Fair Grounds and not
in Southern California. With six representatives on the
Clarion staff, you should be able to send some news in
once a week.

Think On These Things
By Esther Sabel
"Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it
not. --Gen. 28:16.
Homeless. alone, in a strange country, fleeing from
the wrath of a brother whom he had wronged, weary and
sick at heart, Jacob had been privileged a vision of God.
He did not deserve it; he had sinned—against his brother,
against his aged father,—against God. No, Jacob did not
deserve it. but God's mercy is greater than our deserts.
and His love follows us into the most unlikely places.
The story is told of a deep-sea diver who wanted
to have nothing to do with God. He avoided every men-tion
of religion, he never went near a church, the Bible
was a forbidden book as far as he was concerned. But one
day when he was diving he came upon a mollusk with a
bit of paper clamped in its shell. Curious, he managed to
pull the slip of paper out. It contained just one word—
"God"! The diver was so impressed with the conscious-ness
that it was impossible for him to get away from the
spirit of God, that he surrendered there on the floor of
the sea to the Love that had followed him even into this
most unexpected situation.
You may avoid mention of God, you may stay away
from every place where people meet to worship Him, you
may ignore His Word, but you cannot get away from
His presence. For his grace is greater than your sin, and
His mercy seeks to draw you to Him, that He may bless

Seniors Reveal Life Secrets
In Impromptu Autobiographies
Class Adviser Demonstrates
Pugilistic Ability at Party
The dumbest and the brightest of
the dignified Academy Seniors, includ-ing
even the Valedictorian of the class,
were revealed by "spinning the milk
bottle" at the home of their class ad-visor,
Prof. H. C. Wingblade, on Fri-day
evening, April 7.
The group then tried its skill in re-membering,
not for a test, but for a
game. After this the guests tried
their hand at modeling, with either a
dog or Prof. Wingblade as the subject.
An exhibition by Prof. Wingblade of
his pugilistic ability was the main
feature of the evening, "bringing
down the house."
Another very interesting stunt was
the writing of life histories by each of
the Seniors—"A story in pictures".
After a delightful lunch the group
gathered around the piano and sang
"old songs." To the tune of "Home
Sweet Home" they disbanded, conclud-ing
that "there was nary a party like
it. "

B. and M. T.
"An ideal student is one who has
character, personality, and intelli-gence,
and who uses these traits to the
best advantage, not for himself, but
for others."
"An ideal student is a conscientious
fellow who can see two sides of a
question and still keep his own opin-ion.
He must study enough to keep a
good scholastic average. He must
also be ready to help out when need-ed."
"An ideal student is one who strives
daily to improve himself physically,
mentally, and spiritually—not selfish-ly,
but so that he might better help
others, fellow students and teachers,
to attain unto the high goal of living."

Lloyd Wickstrom was barely able
to stand up one day at baseball prac-tice,
and when the coach asked the
reason why he was so tired he replied
that he had milked five cows the day
During the first week of practice
which was held in the gym, Al Carlson
caught a ball on the end of his finger
which looked for a while as if it was
badly hurt, but it is not broken and
will come around in good order.
When Bethel opens the baseball sea-son
we hope there will he a better
turn-out to support the team than
there was at basketball.
Baseballers Start Season
Good Material Brought to Light
With the first call for baseball prac-tice
sixteen men turned out for try-outs.
The opening practice revealed
a fairly strong team although it will
take a lot of developing to put it into
first place in the league. The pitch-ing
staff showed up well with Holm-berg,
a southpaw, and Bauers. Al-though
they haven't thrown all their
stuff yet they appear likely to develop
into a pair of good hurlers. The in-field
prospects are good, with seven
men to choose from. Paulson and
Koch, two aspirants for infield posi-tion,
showed exceptional form in prac-tice
and are almost certain to obtain
a berth. The outfield this season will
most likely include Ed Cambronne
who has been playing his position well
in the last two weeks of practice. Al-though
he is somewhat weak in bat-ting.,
he will probably overcome this
before the first game.
Practice so far has been hampered
by the absence of some of the players
who were away on the Male Chorus
Tour. Because of this the coach has
been unable to tell what material he
has for the different positions.

"The churches in the East have re-sponded
very generously in meeting
their share of the quota for the main-tenance
of Bethel", Dean Danielson
said in effect upon his return from his
trip in the East. "The school must
raise $10,000 over and above the sum
which the church budgets provide, and
$2000 of this amount was raised in
the Eastern states during a period of
six weeks, and this in spite of the
bank holiday and other discourage-ments.
There is whole-hearted sup-port
in this part of the country in
favor of Bethel. It is expected that a
number of students will come from the
East next year to take up work in
the Junior College."
Mr. Danielson plans a one-month's
trip to the West Coast, when he ex-pects
to visit Spokane, Seattle, Bel-lingham,
Tacoma, Portland, and Ore-gon,
as well as other places near the
Pacific before his return about the
middle of May.

Dear Alumnus:
What a surprise — and such a
pleasant one—to find your letter to
me on the back page of the Bethel
Clarion. I thoroughly enjoyed it and
appreciate very much your sending
me a copy of your interesting paper.
It was great to get all the news.
You are right. Margaret and Carol
do manage to keep me more than busy.
We all miss the cheery presence of
Mother Nichols. It is hard to truly
realize that she is gone; her death
came so suddenly. But we are happy
to have the lovely memories of her.
It was nice to see Edith's cheery
face in the Bethel Clarion. She is
a grand girl.
Here's some news. On March 6th
the Bethel Alumni of the Arrowhead
Country met at the home of Florence
Wallberg. The group organized the
Head of the Lakes Bethel Alumni As-sociation.
The membership includes
all graduates of Bethel Institute—any
department—who live in this area;
also wives or husbands of the Alumni.
It will be largely social but we expect
to accomplish some good for Bethel
by keeping in touch with each other
and we hope to have a live organiza-tion
that will spread the true influence
of Bethel wherever we may go.
Florence Wallberg was made Presi-dent;
Bill BaCklund, Vice President;
Eleanore Nichols, Secretary-Treas-urer.
Our next meeting will be in
July and we expect to make it a pic-nic.
The place will be definitely de-cided
on later but we plan to meet
somewhere on the Range. Watch
Standaret for further news later in
the summer.
Please send me more of the Bethel
Clarion, and send me a bill.
Eleanore Nichols.
Well, Eleanore—That was a breezy
note from you and it came just in time
for the "Clarion." Here is some more
news for you.

from her field in Africa ex-pects
to go to France the latter part
of April or May and from there she
returns to Sona Bata. She is one of
the few missionaries to be sent back
to her field this year.

As they weigh whether to make a bid for the Senate seat held by Kirsten E. Gillibrand, Mortimer B. Zuckerman, the publisher of The Daily News, is quietly reaching out to state Republican leaders, and Harold E. Ford Jr., a former congressman, has conducted a poll of New York voters, people told of the moves said.
The behind-the-scenes activities highlight how seriously both are examining a run for the office, which, until now, Ms. Gillibrand had appeared likely to hold onto with little competition.
Mr. Zuckerman spoke privately with former Gov. George E. Pataki several days ago to solicit advice on how to run on the Republican ballot line, should he enter the campaign, according to two people told of the discussions, who spoke on condition of anonymity, for fear of offending the two powerful men.
Mr. Pataki advised Mr. Zuckerman, 72, to hire Republican operatives in New York to assist his campaign and cement his relationship with the party, a person briefed on the talks said. Mr. Zuckerman, a real estate and publishing tycoon, is not registered with a party in New York and would need permission from the state Republican committee to run on its ballot line.
A spokesman for Mr. Pataki, David M. Catalfamo, confirmed that the former governor had spoken with Mr. Zuckerman and "holds him in very high regard." Mr. Catalfamo declined to comment on what the men discussed.Continue reading the main story
Around the same time, Mr. Zuckerman met with Edward F. Cox, the chairman of the Republican state party, whose support would ease the path to the Republican nomination, these people said. Spokesmen for Mr. Cox and Mr. Zuckerman declined to comment.
In conversations, Mr. Zuckerman has told party officials that voter unrest has given the Republicans a rare chance of retaking a Senate seat in New York. The state's voters last elected a Republican to the Senate in 1992, when Alfonse M. D'Amato defeated Attorney General Robert Abrams, a Democrat.
As Mr. Zuckerman mulls a Republican candidacy, Mr. Ford, a former five-term representative from Tennessee, tested the viability of a potential Democratic Party campaign against Ms. Gillibrand with a detailed telephone poll over the weekend.
The survey, overseen by the Democratic pollster Douglas E. Schoen, gauged voters' reactions to a variety of claims about Mr. Ford and Ms. Gillibrand. In one series of questions, respondents were asked to react to descriptions of Ms. Gillibrand as a product of "corrupt" Albany who voted "95 percent of the time" with New York's senior senator, Charles E. Schumer; helped develop strategies for the tobacco industry; and had a conservative record out of step with voters.
In another line of inquiry that appears to test Mr. Ford's vulnerabilities, he was characterized as a carpetbagger, a member of the National Rifle Association, a flip-flopper on the issue of legalizing same-sex marriage and a Wall Street executive who has not disclosed his bonus.
The poll took about 20 minutes, according to two people who participated in it, took detailed notes about the questions and later shared them with The New York Times. Mr. Ford appears to have paid for it out of his own pocket. Spokesmen for Mr. Ford and Ms. Gillibrand declined to comment.
The survey offers a glimpse into Mr. Ford's potential campaign strategy. It asked whether a person would be more or less likely to vote for him if he were endorsed by The New York Post, former Mayor Edward I. Koch and the onetime Senate hopeful Caroline Kennedy. It also asked about the potential impact of endorsements for Ms. Gillibrand from President Obama, the Long Island newspaper Newsday and Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo.
Some questions appeared to assess possible campaign themes and slogans for Mr. Ford, 39, who is expected to decide next week whether to run. The poll sought feedback on the assertion that he was a "national leader" of African-Americans, in the style of Mr. Obama; had a bold plan to revitalize the economy; and was independent of the troubles in Albany.Continue reading the main story

Mountain Fork River trout regulation takes effect January 1, 2002
Report Offers "Blueprint" for Voluntary Conservation Efforts
Commission approves feral hog regulations
At its regular June meeting, held June 4, in Oklahoma City, the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission approved emergency rules that allow feral hog hunting on Department-owned or managed lands throughout the state.
On all but three wildlife management areas, hunters will be allowed to harvest feral hogs during any regular hunting season by whatever methods are legal during that particular season. In other words, a hunter could shoot them with a shotgun during spring turkey season, or with a muzzleloader during the primitive firearms deer season. During firearms deer seasons (primitive, modern gun and special antlerless deer seasons) on WMAs open during these seasons, hunters must possess either a filled or unfilled deer license, and they must comply with other deer hunting regulations such as wearing blaze orange clothing.
Three areas - Honobia Creek, Three Rivers and Broken Bow WMAs - will only be open to feral hog hunting during the nine-day regular deer gun season, and only with methods and means legal during that season. Season dates and hunting methods for each individual WMA are outlined in the soon-to-be-published Oklahoma Hunting Guide and Regulations. Feral hog hunting on private lands remains at the landowner's discretion, however, during firearms big game seasons (primitive, modern gun and special antlerless deer seasons and antelope and elk seasons) hunters must possess either a filled or unfilled deer license, and they must comply with other deer hunting regulations such as wearing blaze orange clothing. The Wildlife Commission was authorized to set rules for hunting feral hogs on public lands by a law enacted during the 2000 legislative session.
"Feral hogs can damage wildlife habitat, compete with native species for food and can carry a number of diseases, including psuedorabies and swine brucelosis," said Alan Peoples, wildlife chief for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, "but until now, we could not tell hunters to harvest them if they saw one while hunting. This is a big step in that it will allow additional hunting opportunity while hopefully helping curb the growth of hog populations on our WMAs.
"Undoubtedly, hunters will have some questions about aspects of these regulations, so we will be working to develop a question and answer section relating to feral hog hunting on our Web site. Check under the 'Hunting' section for this feature."
Also approved at the June meeting was an adjustment to the one of the state's new antlerless deer hunting zones. Zone two, which offers the greatest doe hunting opportunities in the state and includes most of northwest and northcentral Oklahoma, was extended east to include all of Osage County and part of Washington County. Highway 75 will be the new eastern boundary for Zone two; complete information regarding antlerless deer hunting zones also will be on-line at wildlifedepartment.com.
In other action, Commissioners voted to approved the Department's fiscal year 2002 budget, a $25.8 million package that that includes no funding for capital improvements or land acquisition and will increase the number of vacant positions left unfilled.
"This is the same base budget as last year, without any significant funds set aside for upgrading equipment or facilities," said Greg Duffy, the Department's executive director. "We are proposing to leave an additional eight positions vacant - indefinitely - which will bring the total to 28, up from 20 budgeted positions which were not filled last year."
As part of the Commission's action, several after-budget add-ons were approved, including:
• an additional $150,000 to compensate for higher fuel prices.
• an added $165,000 to cover the Department's increased share of employees' dependent insurance coverage.
• $73,000 in earmarked funds from wildlife license plate sales and tax check-off donations to the Department's Wildlife Diversity Program. The money will be used to undertake additional research on the Texas horned lizard, conduct a comprehensive species inventory on Department-owned wildlife management areas and reprint several popular books and booklets.
Consideration of a budget increase for employee compensation for next year was postponed until the July meeting.
In his final legislative update, Duffy told Commission members that HJR 1008, a bill that would have called for a vote of the people to provide additional revenue for fish and wildlife conservation in the state, was held over in conference committee and is alive for next session. Similarly, several other wildlife-related measures, including a bill to change quail season over much of the southern half of the state, were held over in various stages of the legislative process and could be considered when the Legislature reconvenes next year.
Other newly enacted fish and wildlife laws include Senate Bill 480 which authorizes the Department to charge a $5 per person, per year, application fee for anyone applying for the agency's controlled hunts. The controlled hunts program, which allows hunters to apply for unique, controlled access hunts on select Department-owned or managed areas, is popular among hunters but costly to administer.
The $5 application fee could raise funds that will help ensure these hunting opportunities continue to be available through a drawing system. The Department also will be looking at modifying the system to improve applicants' opportunities to be drawn. Public hearings will be held later this year to explain how the system works, and discuss possible future improvements.
House Bill 1375 sends to a vote of the people a provision to require initiative petitions prosing a legislative measure to abolish any method, practice or procedure for hunting, fishing, trapping, or to abolish any occupation or sporting or other entertainment event involving livestock, fowl, fish or other animal contain signatures of 15 percent of registered voters, rather than the eight-percent requirement currently in place. This measure is slated to be on the November 2002 statewide ballot.
Senate Bill 477 requires the Wildlife Conservation Commission to promulgate rules to sell hunting and fishing licenses via the Internet. Bill is effective Nov. 1, 2001; and House Bill 1262 adds the Wildlife Department to the state's Geographic Information System (GIS) Council.
One Wildlife Department employee was recognized at the June meeting for his outstanding tenure with the agency. District 4 Law Enforcement Chief Trent Hodgins, from Holdenville, was recognized for his 30 years of service to the Department. Hodgins, who has worked in Hughes County most of his career, is the longest-serving district chief with the Department.
The Commission's regular July meeting will be held Monday, July 2, at 9 a.m. at the Wildlife Department's headquarters in Oklahoma City.
Bat Watches Attract More Visitors
Every night during the summer months, a million or more Mexican free-tailed bats can be seen spiraling out over Selman Bat Cave Wildlife Management Area into the evening sky.
Now in its 5th year of operation, the Selman Bat Watches allow registered visitors to witness this amazing event, which is coordinated by the Oklahoma Department of Wild-life Conservation.
"As the word gets out, the number of people interested in coming with us to see the bat emergence increases," said Melynda Hickman, natural resources biologist with the Department. "This is the only public opportunity in Oklahoma for wildlife enthusiasts to get close to wild bats leaving their cave in search of insects."
Hickman also said that with rising interest in attending the bat watches, those who contact the Wildlife Department earliest are more likely to get registered for the date they would prefer. Two of the twelve bat watch evenings are already full, and the registration forms continue to roll in. Each evening's event can be attended by a maximum of 75 people.
The bat watches begin at Alabaster Caverns State Park near Freedom, Oklahoma, where visitors are taken by bus to Selman Bat Cave WMA - one of several Wildlife Management Areas owned and operated by the Wildlife Department.
Besides the standard bat watch, an additional "nature at night" event is available on June 23 which includes viewing of the bat emergence, as well as programs on identification of natural night sounds and wildlife tracking.
Contact the Wildlife Diversity Program of ODWC to receive a Selman Bat Watch registration brochure, by calling 405/521-4616. This form, as well as more information about bats, can be found online by clicking on the Watchable Wildlife Opportunities link at www.wildlifedepartment.com .
Memorial dedicated to fallen Game Warden
The first Oklahoma game warden to lose his life in the line of duty was honored with a memorial dedicated June 3 at River Park in Tulsa.
In 1911, the Wildlife Department was very new and only a few wardens existed. One of those men, Charles W. Estes, was killed in the line of duty in the Tulsa County area. On February 28, 1911, Charlie Estes told his wife he'd be back soon and rode off on his horse in search of poachers violating a law prohibiting hunting on Sunday.
At the top of Turkey Mountain, Estes was shot to death by an unknown killer. His gun, holster and bullets were stolen. His sacrifice for the future good of Oklahoma's wildlife and sportsmen was individually recognized June 3, 2001, with a memorial service dedicating a monument to his sacrifice at River Parks.
"It was a duck hunter he was investigating, but it wasn't a duck hunter that shot him," said Carlos Gomez, Tulsa County Game Warden. "He was killed by someone with a high powered rifle. They suspected moonshiners and counterfeiters operating in the Turkey Mountain area."
The memorial, located at 5800 S. Riverside Drive, was made possible with the hard work of Estes' great, great nephew, Bobby Tipton, Game Warden Gomez, River Park employees and benefactors. The dedication was attended by Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation Commissioners John S. Zink, Vryl Keeter, and John Groendyke, retired and present Department employees, law enforcement officers from several state agencies, friends and family of the Estes family and Senator James Williamson.
Gomez said that enough donations were made on Estes' behalf to place a concrete walkway leading from the jogging trail to the memorial site with boulders on either side to serve as bench seating. A large boulder that stands erect will display a bronze plaque in Estes' honor with a light shinning down on the memorial from a cottonwood tree.
Department sets quail field day
The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation and Quail Unlimited have scheduled a day in the field to demonstrate and discuss habitat requirements and management techniques for bobwhite quail and prairie chickens.
Landowners, leaseholders and sportsmen interested in upland game birds need to meet at the Arnett Courthouse to attend the field day event slated for June 30.
"We will be touring both public and private land in western Oklahoma," said Mike Sams, upland game biologist for the Department. "We want to provide private landowners in western Oklahoma with sound management strategies and techniques that will help wildlife and maintain beef production. Landowners will also receive information on cost-share programs they can use to implement these techniques."
The field day will run from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Participants should meet on the north side of the Arnett courthouse and will travel by bus to several different sites throughout the day. Several speakers including Dr. Fred Guthery, head of the Bollenbach Chair at Oklahoma State University, will be on-hand to discuss and answer questions about upland bird habitat management.
A free lunch will be provided for participants by Quail Unlimited. Those interested in attending should call Mike Sams at 405/590-2584 to reserve a lunch and a spot on the bus or for further information.
Turkey organization donations top $250,000
The National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) has been raising and spending money in Oklahoma since 1985, and has now spent more than $250,000 on habitat projects, youth events, scholarships and various other conservation-related projects.
"It has taken a long time to break the quarter-million dollar barrier," said Mike Lambeth, Oklahoma NWTF State Chapter President, "but with the growth of our chapter system from six to 35 chapters in the last four years and with our volunteers doing such a great job with their fund raising banquets, the half million dollar mark can't be far away."
The NWTF spends money within the state in a variety of ways, said Lambeth. It has funded habitat improvement projects on both private and public lands, purchased land for public hunting and helped fund the relocation of eastern turkeys from Iowa to Delaware County in northeastern Oklahoma. Additional support has been given to enhance law enforcement efforts, including the purchase of 20 full body remote control decoys. Dollars also have been spent to purchase reward signs and other money has been offered as rewards in poaching cases involving wild turkeys.
The NWTF also supports many youth activities throughout the state. It has provided funding for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation Youth Camp and for designated JAKES (Juniors Acquiring Knowledge, Ethics, and Sportsmanship) activities, including funding for 54 JAKES events and more than $10,000 in scholarship money to graduating high school seniors.
The National Wild Turkey Federation's partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation has been very beneficial to not only the wild turkey but also to the state's sportsmen and women. The Federation has helped the Wildlife Department plant 11 miles of food plots on Honobia and Three Rivers Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs), gate areas for walk-in hunting areas at Honobia, Three Rivers and Pushmataha WMAs, create fire guards for controlled burns at Wister WMA, remove eastern red cedars under turkey roosts on Ft. Supply and Cooper WMAs and plant roost trees and create artificial roost sites for turkey across western Oklahoma.
"The National Wild Turkey Federation has helped us provide quality habitat improvements on numerous public areas for a variety of wildlife," said Alan Peoples, wildlife chief for the Department. "They have also provided equipment to the Department, including a $26,000 tree spade that will help us continue to improve wildlife habitat throughout the state. Our law enforcement and education efforts have benefited from our partnership with the Federation as well."
The National Wild Turkey Federation has 325,000 members in all 50 states, Canada and 11 foreign countries and is the fastest growing conservation group in America. Internationally, the Federation has spent more than $135 million on wild turkey and other conservation related projects since 1985. Most recently, the Federation has donated $300,000 to the Wildlife Legislative Fund of America, a national watchdog for the rights of hunters and has pledged $1 million over the next four years to the National Shooting Sports Foundation.

Schedule your summer by the Outdoor Calendar
The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation has a handy tool for sportsmen looking to participate in or announce outdoor activities. The "Outdoor Calendar" is just a mouse click away for anyone wanting the latest information about outdoor events happening throughout the state.
Whether it's hunting, fishing, shooting, watchable wildlife opportunities or interpretive walks, there is something available here for every outdoor enthusiast.
"It is one of the most popular pages on the Department's web site," said Kristen Gillman, web master for the Department. "The calendar provides easy access and is a great way for sportsmen and women to find out what is going on in Oklahoma's outdoors. We place the most up-to-date information in the calendar and welcome anyone wanting to publicize outdoor activities to provide us with that information."
A version of the Outdoor Calendar has appeared in our weekly news release and in Outdoor Oklahoma magazine for many years now, and it will still appear in those publications, Gillman added. The Web site allows the Department the opportunity to provide the public with a more comprehensive and timely calendar so they can make plans for activities well in advance.
Those interested in announcing outdoor activities on the calendar can provide that information by calling the Department's information and education division at 405/521-3856. To learn more about the Wildlife Department and the latest outdoor events, log onto the Department's Web site at www.wildlifedepartment.com.
You have a question; we have an answer
Want to know about area hunter education courses? Need information on controlled hunts or about how to become a game warden?
Answers to these common questions and many more can be found very quickly on the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's Web site.
"The Wildlife Department receives questions from our constituents daily," said Kristen Gillman, the Department's webmaster. "We often receive the same questions over and over. So, we have compiled a list of more than 80 frequently asked questions and provided answers to them on the Web site."
The Web site is easy to use and having a frequently asked question page allows the Department to provide sportsmen convenient and quick answers to many of their questions, Gillman added. Questions are divided into major categories including hunter education, controlled hunts, license and applications, hunting and fishing.
To find the frequently asked questions page, download the latest fishing and hunting regulations, or find out more information about the Wildlife Department, go to www.wildlifedepartment.com.
Hunter education could go high tech
The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation is coordinating efforts with the International Hunter Education Association to develop and implement an on-line hunter education program.
"This is a multi-state project which is being coordinated through the International Hunter Education Association," said J.D. Peer, hunter education coordinator for the Wildlife Department. "The project aims to establish home-study hunter education opportunities on the Internet and should be complete within two years. Once the project is complete and the system is implemented, it will provide another option for sportsmen needing to take a hunter education course.
"The on-line program will allow the Department and its constituents more flexibility in meeting the hunter education requirements. It should not reduce or replace traditional courses, but should reduce the amount of time students spend in a classroom. It will probably be similar to, and another alternative to, the home-study courses which have been very popular."
Currently, Oklahoma requires hunter education certification for those born on or after January 1, 1972, who wish to purchase any hunting license or permit upon reaching 16 years of age. The certification is also required for anyone under 16 years of age wishing to hunt big game such as deer, antelope or elk. To be certified, students must receive 10 hours of hunter education and pass a written exam.
Wildlife Department employees and certified hunter education volunteers conduct around 360 courses and certify 13,000 sportsmen across the state each year. Both standard courses and home-study courses are currently offered.
To become certified during a standard class, students must attend 10 full hours of class-time and pass the written exam. The class-time may occur in one-, two- or three-day sessions. To become certified through a home-study course, a student must read and fill out a home-study manual, attend four hours of class-time and pass the written exam.
"The home-study course can take more time than attending a regular course," Peer said. "But, it allows students to learn at their own pace and eliminates some scheduling and transportation problems. Offering the course on-line should provide these same benefits, plus make it more accessible for more students and should save the Department money by reducing the number of home-study manuals it has to purchase."
Oklahoma has always had one of the nations lowest rates for hunting accidents, Peer added. The on-line course should provide another method to help the Department continue that tradition.

Report Offers "Blueprint" for Voluntary Conservation Efforts
A report released by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation and the Western Governors' Association offers a "blueprint" for governmental agencies, private landowners and nonprofit groups seeking to devise voluntary solutions that will not only reverse the decline of once abundant wildlife, but also benefit agriculture.
"Ranch Conversations: A Blueprint for Conserving Species and Rural Lifestyles," details a successful pilot project of the High Plains Partnership for Species at Risk that directly involves willing landowners in developing plans to help recover the lesser prairie chicken in the states of Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
The five states' wildlife agencies had seen this rare groups numbers fluctuate drastically over five decades, then plummet in recent years. To turn those numbers around, the agency directors agreed to work together as a region and formed the Lesser Prairie Chicken Interstate Working Group. Since more than 90 percent of the land that was historic habitat for the lesser prairie chicken is in private ownership, one of their primary goals was to develop a cooperative working relationship with landowners.
The lines of communication with landowners opened wide during and after a series of 12 "Ranch Conversations". The message was, "We're here to ask questions, not to pass edicts."
Incentives have proved important to offset the costs landowners incur when making improvements that benefit the bird and its habitat. In the two years since the first Ranch Conversation was held in Buffalo, Oklahoma, more than 84,000 acres of private land have been committed to grazing and vegetation management plans that will enhance or recover range conditions to benefit lesser prairie chickens. Another 200,000 acres of private land have been proposed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for enrollment in Candidate Conservation Agreements with Assurances as funding becomes available.
"Ranch Conversations opened the lines of communication between agencies and private landowners," said Colin Berg, chair of the Lesser Prairie Chicken Interstate Working Group. "We learned landowners across the five states are concerned about the declining populations of lesser prairie chickens. We also found they are interested in working with us as long as it isn't detrimental to their ability to make a living off the land."
Berg added, that it is sad to note that the funding just isn't there to do the work that needs to be done. The interest is there, but so far the funding is inadequate. Because of positive relationships formed at the Ranch Conversations, private landowners, local communities, state and federal agencies are all working together to secure funding for future lesser prairie chicken conservation efforts.
In the future, other initiatives will be undertaken using the model developed by the Lesser Prairie Chicken Interstate Working Group. It is hoped that this document will assist other conservation initiatives that require cooperation between the public and private sector.
A copy of the report is available on the Western Governors' Association's Website.
Crawford accepts award for Hackberry Flat partners
In recognition of leadership resulting in the restoration of Hackberry Flat, a significant wetland resource located in southwest Oklahoma's Tillman County, seventh-district Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commissioner William H. Crawford has been awarded the 2001 Alexander Calder Conservation Award.
Crawford received the commendation in a ceremony at the National Press Club, June 21, in Washington D.C. The award is sponsored by International Paper Company and is awarded by The Conservation Fund to recognize those who protect critical wildlife habitat in the United States.
Crawford led the six year effort to restore Hackberry Flat by involving various corporations, businesses, and the City of Frederick in a partnership that included state and federal agencies and non-profit conservation organizations. His efforts resulted in the successful restoration of what was once the largest natural wetland in the state.
"I am honored and humbled to accept the award on behalf of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation and all the partners involved in restoring Hackberry Flat," said Crawford. "The blending of federal, state, local and business monies made the project unique. This award is unique because it recognizes that partnership and the work and dedication of all those involved."
The award, celebrating vision, dedication and excellence, carries with it an unrestricted $10,000 grant. The funds will be donated to the Hackberry Flat Foundation for continued conservation and resource education according to Crawford. The Frederick businessman and resident was nominated for the award by Dr. Don C. Davis, president of Cameron University.
The award was begun in 1987 in honor of Alexander Calder, who began the nation's first corporate land gift conservation program under his chairmanship of Union Camp Corporation. Calder was one of the first executives to take a role in conservation and the corporation has since given 84,000 acres of land valued at $25 million to non-profit groups and public agencies. International Paper has continued the award program since its merger with Union Camp in 1999.
Hackberry Flat is the most important wetland restoration project ever attempted in Oklahoma. The area was once considered the largest natural wetland in the state until it was drained in the early 1900s for agricultural purposes.
With leadership from Crawford, the Wildlife Department undertook the Hackberry Flat restoration project in 1993. The Department acquired and restored 7,120 acres of wetlands and surrounding upland vegetation from willing sellers. Private contributors donated more than $1,500,000, including a contribution of more than $1 million from The Williams Companies, Inc., toward the project which was dedicated as the Hackberry Flat Wildlife Management Area in 1999.
Since its dedication, Hackberry Flat has been a haven to thousands of migrating waterfowl, and has provided sportsmen with amazing migratory bird hunting opportunities. The area has also attracted a diversity of wading birds and shore birds, and provides many species with breeding habitat throughout the spring and early summer. It is rapidly becoming one of the states most visited watchable wildlife areas.

Prepare for fall with summer shooting
Summer is here and while many are thinking about ballgames, barbecues and trips to the lake, others are thinking and preparing for the fall hunting seasons which are just around the corner.
In Oklahoma, dove season traditionally starts each year's fall hunting seasons when it opens on September 1. Dove are fast flying acrobatic targets and are a challenge for any shooter, but hunters can increase their success by practicing their wingshooting at a local skeet or sporting clays range throughout the summer.
"Shooting skeet or sporting clays is a great way to spend quality time with family and friends," said Mike Sams, upland wildlife biologist for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. "It is a lot of fun and is also a great way to sharpen shooting skills. Practice is important in any sport and it is very important to becoming a proficient shooter."
When shooting skeet, shooters fire at a total of 25 targets from eight different stations. Depending on the station, a shooter will face clay targets, or "birds," going away or incoming, as well as passing shots and overhead shots.
Sporting clays, on the other hand, is often called "shotgun golf." A typical round of sporting clays consists of 50 targets in a variety of settings designed to mimic actual hunting situations. Shooters will face "birds" launched to imitate flushing quail, fast-flying doves, high-flying mallards and scampering rabbits. Many stations feature a combination, requiring quick reflexes and the ability to make snap decisions.
While shooting skeet or sporting clays is generally inexpensive, shooters can usually get considerable discounts by joining a skeet or sporting clays league. Many ranges host summer leagues in which shooters often meet new friends, fellow gun enthusiasts and new hunting partners.
"Shooting at the range is a great way to have fun and get some practice in a safe environment, but there are still some safety considerations to keep in mind," said J.D. Peer, hunter education coordinator for the Wildlife Department. "Shooters should always wear eye and ear protection and should always clearly identify their target and what is beyond their target. I would also recommend that any new shooter goes through a hunter education course before going to the range and handling or firing any firearm."
Landowners and sportsmen who have access to private land where shooting is permitted can also practice on their own, added Peer. Those shooting on private land should always think safety first, and make sure they have an adequate area for pellets to travel safely downrange.
Once a safe area is established, everyone can enjoy shooting with equipment available at many retailers, Those interested can often find a mechanical thrower for less than $40, and a box of clay targets usually costs less than $5.
Every shooter should spend as much time at the range as they can. The time spent practicing will pay off on opening day of dove season and throughout the season.

Mountain Fork River trout regulation takes effect January 1, 2002
A new regulation changing size restrictions and bag limits on rainbow trout in Zone III of the lower Mountain Fork River will take effect January 1, 2002.
The change will cover rainbow trout found in the portion of the Mountain Fork River designated as Zone III, that portion of the river from the re-regulation dam downstream to Highway 70.
The lower Mountain Fork River contains three trout regulation zones. Regulations for rainbow trout will not change for Zones I and II, and brown trout regulations will remain the same for the entire stream. The change was approved by the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission this past March and will take effect next January. The regulation will change the Zone III 20-inch minimum size limit, one per day bag limit on rainbow trout to six per day with no size limit.
"There seems to be some confusion on when the regulation goes into effect," said Kim Erickson, fisheries chief for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. "The main thing for anglers to keep in mind is that this change does not take effect until 2002 and that current regulations for brown trout will not change at all. We changed the regulation for rainbow trout because water temperatures in that portion of the river are warmer and very few rainbows were reaching 20 inches.
"The key to the change is in the water temperatures during the summer. They just aren't cold enough in that portion of the river for rainbow trout to reach 20 inches right now. If additional cold water releases become available in the future, we might reinstate size and bag restrictions. We just wanted to do the best thing for both anglers and the resource."
There are a lot of nice rainbow trout in the river and the new regulation should allow anglers additional opportunities, Erickson added. Anglers will have the opportunity to take more trout home while still having an excellent opportunity to catch a trophy-sized trout. Anglers even have the opportunity to catch a state-record as the Mountain Fork produced the current state-record, 9 pound, 10.5 ounce brown trout, caught by angler Jim Horton this past January.

Cliff Grassmick / Daily Camera
Cliff Grassmick / Daily Camera
Before she was old enough to drive herself to the airport, Jamie Kirkland was flying an aircraft.
Now, the 17-year-old drives a Honda Pilot, which she said is a coincidence, with a license plate frame that says, "I'd rather be flying."
The Silver Creek High School senior was 13 years old when she got her first ride in a small airplane, a Aeronca Champ that holds a pilot and one passenger, and began flying gliders at 15.
The clouds were mesmerizing. Kirkland was at home in the sky from her first flight, but it was just recently that she began to discover that aviation is more than a hobby — it was part of her pedigree.
Kirkland's biggest inspiration has been her grandfather, Roman Herrmann, who worked as a machinist on Mustang planes and served in the Air Force as a flight simulator technician training fighter pilots.
St. Vrain graduations
9 a.m. Saturday: Skyline High School
10 a.m. Saturday: Erie High School, Frederick High School, Niwot High School, Longmont High School, Silver Creek High School, Lyons High School
11 a.m. Saturday: Mead High School
Boulder Valley graduations
6 p.m. Friday: Boulder Universal
7 p.m. Friday: Monarch High School
8 a.m. Saturday: Peak to Peak High School
8:30 a.m. Saturday: Boulder High School
9 a.m. Saturday: Broomfield High School
9:30 a.m. Saturday: New Vista High School
10 a.m. Saturday: Arapahoe Campus, Centaurus High School
10:30 a.m. Saturday: Boulder Prep
1 p.m. Saturday: Nederland High School
2 p.m. Sunday: Fairview High School
Herrmann helped pay for Kirkland's training, which totaled about $7,000, attended every flying lesson and was the first passenger in Kirkland's cockpit after she got her pilot's license in October.
"She was absolutely confident," Herrmann said. "She fits in there like she's supposed to be in that seat."
In addition to her grandfather, Kirkland has two cousins who are commercial pilots and another that is a flight attendant. One of her great uncles was a Naval pilot during World War II. Another great uncle was a bomber pilot for the Army Air Corps and another was a recreational pilot. Kirkland's brother, Kyle, has taken flying lessons, but does not have his pilot's license.
"It's in my blood," Kirkland said.
The ingrained obsession skipped a generation with Kirkland's parents, but her passion has inspired them to volunteer with the Antique Airplane Association of Colorado, where Kirkland discovered her love of flying.
Following graduation Saturday, Kirkland will carry on her family's legacy of aviation by attending the U.S. Air Force Academy.
After graduating from the academy, Kirkland is planning to join the Air Force and apply for flight school. One day, Kirkland would like to design and build aircraft.
Kirkland is one of six students in the St. Vrain Valley School District who will be attending the Air Force Academy this summer.
Four of those students are from Silver Creek High School, an exceptionally high admission rate for the academy's rigorous admissions process, said Lt. Col. Felix Roge, the district's liaison officer.
Longmont and Niwot high schools also had students accepted into the academy.
In typical years, two to four students from the district will be accepted to the academy, Roge said. He sees an average of 20 applications from St. Vrain students every year competing against about 20,000 applications nationwide.
Kirkland stood out among the district graduates in Roge's recommendations to the academy and in national standings, having received a nomination from Vice President Joe Biden.
Of the more than 60 applications Roge has seen in three years as the district liaison, Kirkland is the only student that had her pilot's license, he said.
Since getting her license, Kirkland has taken her mother and father up in the 1970s Cessna 152 that she calls "a motorcycle with wings."
Kirkland is anxious to take her friends for a ride and continue sharing her passion with others.
"I love being able to show them this different view of the world," Kirkland said. "It's a new perspective and it's something to be shared."

Keith Urban Debuts Phoenix Fragrance for Men, Plans One for Women
With over 12 million albums sold and nearly 30 top 40 singles, Keith Urban has spent the last decade exerting a pretty profound effect on the country airwaves.
And now he's decided he'd like to have a hand in what his fans smell like, too.
Urban will enter the world of celebrity fragrances next month when he debuts his first scent for men, named Phoenix — and he's already working on one for ladies.
"I think we've got a really good one," Urban revealed to USA Today, saying he hopes to have his ladies' fragrance ready for next year. When pressed for details, he begged off, saying, "I can't tell you. It's too early."
Urban was only too happy to discuss Phoenix, however. He told the paper that he was deeply involved with its creation, right down to the name: "I was trying to find something I would wear and wouldn't be too much of a stretch for middle American men. A lot of those guys I was interested in because they may not be the kind of guys who think much about the way they smell. It's a sensitive subject. I so get that. It's the reason I chose the name. I wanted a name that wasn't too city and not too highbrow."

WBU Hosts Pastors' and Layman's Conference
PLAINVIEW – The 85th annual Pastors' and Laymen's Conference will get underway Monday, Feb. 20, at Wayland Baptist University in Plainview.
Pastors, church leaders and laymen from all denominations are invited to attend the one-day conference. This year's theme, "That All May Know Him: The Messenger and the Message," will focus on spreading the gospel to an ever-changing environment.
"It will be a time of inspiration and introspection for reflecting on the blessing of God and examining how we can effectively share those blessings in the future with everyone," said Micheal Summers, Wayland's director of church services.
Summers said the conference is experimenting with the one-day format to hopefully involve more people and make it easier for those who travel and work to attend.
The morning session, "Sharing the Mission in West Texas," will feature a discussion panel focused on reaching West Texas in a changing ethnic environment. The discussion begins at 9:30 a.m. in Harral Auditorium. Registration will be held in the auditorium at 8:30 a.m.
The conference will feature morning, afternoon and evening sessions, featuring messages, testimonies and special music from several pastors, leaders and musicians. A men's luncheon will be held at noon in Wayland's multipurpose room while a women's luncheon will take place in McClung Center, room 211.
The afternoon session, "Our Mission," will be held in Harral Auditorium at 2 p.m. with messages from David Wilson of Lubbock, Gil Ramirez of Levelland, Don Sewell of Dallas and Joel Gregory of Ft. Worth. The evening session, "The Message we Share," will feature messages from Gregory and Michael Evans of Arlington.
A special Hispanic conference session will be held at 6 p.m. featuring many of the Hispanic church leaders in Plainview.
In association with the conference, a special WBU Pastors' Masters Golf Scramble will be held Tuesday at the Plainview Country Club at 8 a.m. The scramble is open to pastors, laymen and women. The entry fee is $50 and includes green fee, cart, prizes and lunch. For more information or to register for the tournament, contact Summers at 806-291-1165.
A special scholarship art exhibit will be on display in Wayland's Abraham Art Gallery featuring the photography of Richard Porter, depicting the 104th Psalm. Proceeds from the sale of the photographs will be used to develop a new endowed scholarship benefiting Wayland students.
