Stillwater before being taken
to the Saville Center, the
affidavit alleged.
During an interview with
the 3-year—old girl at the
Saville Center in Stillwater,
the child demonstrated what
Armstrong—Monson did to
her, the affidavit alleged.
Armstrong-Monson was
located at a relative’s home
in Noble County and arrested
for child sexual abuse in Still-
water, the affidavit alleged.
When the Stillwater police
detective interviewed the
girl’s mother, she said that
earlier in the day on Feb. 28,
“Jessie mentioned that he
was ‘freaking out internally,”
before leaving for work to
grout some tile at a Stillwater
business about 6 pm. and
returning to her home at 9:20
pm, the affidavit alleged.
She said “he had been
stressed out about his court
case in Noble County, which
he had to be at around 9 am.
on March 1,” the affidavit
alleged.
After violently attacking
her, “he apologized to her for
hurting her and promised her
it wouldn’t happen again,"
the affidavit alleged.
In an application for an
emergency protective order
on March 4, the woman
alleged, “Incidents like this
(but much more violent)
happened two nights previ-
ous (2-26-19) and a week
previous on (2-2 1 - 19). These
incidents were much more
violent, so I knew to be con-
cerned about what was going
to happen on this night.”
“Police and DHS investi-
gations have determined that
my daughter might have been
groomed by him, which is
why I’m asking for protective
orders for my children,” the
woman wrote.

Engineering to make the world better
Local Girl Scouts are fin-
ishing up the “Think Like
an Engineer Journey” and it
looks like they have followed
a key part of the Girl Scout
Mission, “to make the world
a better place.” This learn—
ing opportunity, including
a community Take Action
Project, was funded through
the sale of Girl Scout Cook-
ies and Fall Products. Their
efforts have benefited three
local organizations.
Through this journey,
Cadettes from Perkins and
Stillwater learned how engi-
neers use the Design Think-
ing Process to solve prob-

designing, building, test-

solutions, redesigning, and
building again. They com-
pleted three hands-on design
challenges by engineering a
model life vest for a model
Corgi dog, using bioin—
spiration to model a camp
cabin inspired by nature,
and exploring biomechan-

designed, built, and tested
a prototype of a prosthetic

Cadettes worked with Mrs.
Rudloff, the Stillwater Junior
High Librarian.
“I’m excited! I’ve always
wanted to do a book drive,”
Rudloff stated. “I’ve never
been adopted for this type of
project.”
1 Together they came up
with a way to challenge
students, Girl Scouts, and
the teachers and staff to see
who could donate the most
books. This competition led
to a total of331 books being
donated.
Numerous books could
be used for the Junior High
Library, some of which were
on their wish list. Some
of the books for younger
readers were donated to
Wings of Hope, which was
a great fit for their mission
as well. V
Rudloff suggested the
travel books be donated to
MPower. After the Girl
Scouts leamed about this
organization, they agreed
this was a great option.
MPOwer was established in
1969 to provide services to
individuals in Payne County
with developmental disabil-
ities.
