Police responded to a three-car collision Tuesday, Sept. 3, on Oklahoma Boulevard. Police reported a silver Ford pickup driven by William Torbett was turning south on College Boulevard when it was struck by Melissa Cunningham in a green Honda. Torbett said after the collision his foot slipped off the brake and hit the accelerator, causing him to collide with Jesse Schroeder in a black GMC pickup that was facing north on College Boulevard.

Three-vehicle collision

By Marione MartinThis is a tale of two men who

are suspects in the theft of a vehicle. The investigation includes arrests for public intoxication, an arrest some months earlier for assault and someone else’s report of a different stolen vehicle. Three police officers filed documents on different parts of the story. Between them the two men accumulated seven charges in Woods County District Court.

SandRidge Pickup StolenAccording to officers’ affidavits

in the case, on Thursday, Sept. 5, at 8:45 a.m. Alva Police K9 Officer Patrick Hawley went to K & S Tire to take a report of a motor vehicle larceny. He met with Eric Gene McClain who said his company told him a 2012 Chevy pickup belonging to SandRidge Energy was parked outside K & S on the north side ready to be picked up. K & S owner Scott Riley said they had video of two men getting into the vehicle around 10:30 p.m. on Sept. 4.

Riley started the video, and Hawley recognized the man getting in the driver’s seat from a prior arrest as Ronald Collins. Hawley contacted Officer Brian File who had told him earlier that he had arrested Ronald Collins and Lawrence Compo for public intoxication.

Meanwhile, McClain said he was on the phone with Craig Madsen, who told him the SandRidge truck was located on Second Street north of Oklahoma Boulevard. Hawley went to Second and Locust where he met with Madsen and Kristi Kelly and saw the vehicle matching the

description of the stolen vehicle. Hawley observed damage to the front right of the vehicle. The back tool box lid was opened but Madsen said it appeared nothing was stolen.

While they were waiting for the wrecker to retrieve the pickup, Reyes Nunez, a SandRidge security representative, arrived. He signed consent to search so Hawley could collect any evidence.

Then Kim Rader arrived and stated she had reported her vehicle stolen the night before. She and her son Mitchell Rader were waiting outside for the police to arrive and saw the SandRidge truck pull up and one man exit the driver’s side. She said the man walked past them and the police who were investigating their theft. Kim and Mitchell Rader identified Collins from a photograph.

Officer File later told Hawley that he viewed the video at K & S Tire and confirmed the identities of Collins and Compo as the men getting in the pickup and driving away. He told Hawley both men in the video were wearing the same clothing when he arrested them for public intoxication.

The pickup was towed to the SandRidge lot east of Alva. Officer Hawley and Officer Ronald Vasquez went there to check the vehicle. They collected the rear-view mirror that had been pulled off of the windshield, causing the windshield to break. Also inside the vehicle, the glove box was opened and items were taken out and were lying on the floor board. Vasquez removed the glove box, and the officers collected it as well as the items that appeared to have been removed from it.

Public Intoxication ArrestEarlier that morning at 5:01

a.m. Officer Brian File went to 118 Oklahoma Blvd. to check a report that two men were around a garage at the residence and appeared to be trying to break in. File searched the premises. He went through the gate of the privacy fence and saw a shed next to the west end of the residence. He looked inside and discovered a man later identified as Ronald Ray Collins. He asked him to come outside and talk.

File asked Collins if he lived there and he said no. He asked him if he knew who lived there and why he was there at 5 a.m. Collins said he was trying to wake up Lisa Melton, the resident. He said she owed him money, and he needed to get to Enid to work that morning.

File observed that Collins had slurred speech and an odor of alcohol about his breath and person. He asked if he would submit to standardized field sobriety tests, and Collins agreed. Woods County Deputy Sheriff Keith Dale was contacted by Woods County Communications and arrived on the scene. Collins did not do well in the first two tests administered and refused to cooperate further. He was handcuffed, arrested for public intoxication and seated in File’s patrol vehicle.

File and Dale went back inside the privacy fence and saw two Bud Light cans, one on the porch and the other at the west end of the fence. Dale discovered another man, later identified as Lawrence Anthony Compo, inside the shed. File observed that Compo was unsteady on his feet, had red watery eyes and thick slurred speech with an odor of alcohol about his breath and person. He placed Compo in handcuffs, arrested him for public

By Warren ViethOklahoma Watch

Three large insurance companies are planning to offer health policies to individual Oklahomans at rates ranging from less

than $100 to more than $1,000 per month through the new insurance marketplace being set up under the Affordable Care Act.

The rates posted by Aetna Life Insurance Co., Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oklahoma and Coventry Health & Life Insurance Co. for policies they will offer under the health-care law vary widely based on age, geographic location, tobac-co use and plan type.

The lowest rate is $61 per month for a Blue Cross Blue Shield policy that requires buyers to pay virtually all of their medical expenses up to $6,350 per year. It would apply only to people below the age of 21 who live in central Oklahoma or Coman-che County.

At the upper end, a $1,241 monthly rate would apply to smok-ers over the age of 63 who live in the Lawton area and who choose an Aetna Premier policy with a $2,000 deductible and $10 co-pays for rou-tine doctor appointments.

The rates posted by the insurers do not take into account federal tax credits that will reduce the net cost to many buyers by hundreds of dol-lars, and in a few cases to zero, de-

An early look at Affordable Care Act insurance rates

pending on their income. “This is an enormous change,”

said Deputy State Insurance Com-missioner Mike Rhoads. “Now everybody has the assurance re-gardless of their health insurance that they can get coverage … It’s the largest change with respect to health insurance since the passage of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965.”

Rhoads expressed concern that the rates posted by insurance com-panies for the new marketplace ap-pear to be consistently higher than those charged for existing plans, although federal tax credits will soften the blow for most people.

The Oklahoma figures appear to compare favorably, however, with Affordable Care Act rates in other states where rates already have been announced.

Aetna, for example, said it will charge $302 a month for a benchmark “silver” plan sold to a 40-year-old non-smoker living in the seven-county Oklahoma City metropolitan area.

That falls below the $320 aver-age that the Congressional Budget Office projected for benchmark sil-ver plans nationwide. A recent study of rates posted in 17 states showed a range of $212 in New Mexico to $413 in Vermont for comparable plans.

Under “Obamacare,” as it is known, a silver plan is designed to cover 70 percent of all medical

costs incurred by an average policy holder. In Oklahoma, the $302 rate applies to an Aetna Classic policy with a $5,000 deductible, $30 co-pay for routine physician services and 30 percent patient cost-sharing for hospitalization.

Cheaper rates apply to “bronze” and catastrophic plans that require policy holders to pick up more of the tab. A 40-year-old non-smoker in central Oklahoma will pay $239 a month for an Aetna Advantage plan that offers almost no reim-bursements until holders exceed a $6,350 deductible.

Based on the three companies’ rate filings, it appears most market-place customers are likely to wind up with policies that cost some-where in the range of $200 to $700 a month, before tax credits.

The biggest variable is age. The Affordable Care Act allows insur-ers to charge three times as much to cover a 64-year-old as they charge a 21-year-old for the same plan. All of them appear to be doing so.

Aetna’s rates for its benchmark silver plan start at $150 per month for people below the age of 21 in the Oklahoma City metro area. Those aged 21 to 24 will pay $236. The rates rise to $268 for 30-year-olds, $302 for 40-year-olds, $421 for 50-year-olds, $640 for 60-year-olds and $707 for 64-year-olds.

Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI) encourages all healthy Alva-area residents age 16 and older to show their spirit by giving blood from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 18.

“Whether donors ‘bleed’ crim-son or orange, the critical need for blood crosses team lines,” said John Armitage, M.D., OBI presi-dent and chief executive officer. “People typically don’t plan on needing blood, but when the need

arises, nothing else can help. That is why we need Alva-area residents to team up with us to be sure the blood is available to save lives.”

Donations can be made every 56 days and usually take about an hour. OBI provides every drop of blood used by Share Medical Cen-ter, as well as most other hospitals statewide.

Appointments are not required but can be made at obi.org or by calling 877-340-8777.

By Marione MartinA concerned citizen (CC) noti-

fied police Sept. 4 that she was re-ceiving messages on Facebook from someone asking for drugs. Accord-ing to documents on file, the CC, whose name is withheld for protec-tion, met with Alva Police Officer Patrick Hawley and showed him the Facebook messages identified as coming from Michelle Jeffries. CC agreed to cooperate with police to set up an undercover transaction of pain medication for money.

Officer Hawley, with assistance from Officer Jade Cardenas, Woods County Deputy Sheriff Keith Dale and the Oklahoma Highway Pa-trol, set up the buy. The CC and the vehicle the CC was driving were

searched to confirm nothing illegal was present. The CC was given four Oxycodone pills and an audio re-cording device.

The CC was followed to a pre-determined location for the reverse buy. Hawley parked where he could observe and videotape the transac-tion. He stated he saw a 2004 green Nissan driven by Jeffries, whom he recognized from many previ-ous occasions. Following the buy, the officers appeared on the scene. Hawley was given the money used in the buy, the baggie containing the four Oxycodone pills and the digital recorder. Jeffries was placed under arrest and transported to the Woods County Jail by Officer Cardenas.

In a post-Miranda interview with Hawley, Jeffries admitted to contacting the CC and making the buy. She said she is highly addicted to pain pills and doesn’t know what to do.

Michelle Denise Jeffries, 42, of Alva has been charged with endeav-oring to possess CDS (controlled dangerous substance) and posses-sion of CDS, both felonies.

Citizen reports Facebook requests for drugs

By Marione MartinA vehicle traveling on the

wrong side of the highway caught the attention of a law enforcement officer Sept. 6 about 12:05 a.m. in Alva. According to documents on file, Woods County Deputy Sher-iff Adam Honeyman was traveling eastbound on U.S. 64 near Logan Street when he met a silver passen-ger car traveling west in the inside eastbound lane. Honeyman turned around and activated his emergen-cy lights to make a traffic stop of the 2010 Toyota with a California license plate. It took approximately four blocks for the driver to stop.

Deputy Honeyman asked the driver for his license, which iden-tified him as Jason Allen Martyn.

Vehicle on wrong side of highway leads to drug charges for couple

While standing at the driver’s open window, Honeyman noticed a strong odor of marijuana. He asked the driver to exit the vehicle and sit in his patrol car.

Inside the patrol car, Honeyman could still detect the odor of burnt marijuana about Martyn’s breath and person. He told Martyn what he smelled, and Martyn denied any use of possession of marijuana. He asked Martyn for consent to search his vehicle, which Martyn denied. Honeyman noted that he seemed to be extremely nervous and fidget-ing as he answered questions about marijuana.

Honeyman then spoke to Mar-tyn’s passenger, Danary Hernan-dez. He told her he believed he

could smell marijuana and asked if there was anything illegal in the ve-hicle. She said yes and opened the center console exposing a glass pipe with marijuana and residue, a black container containing a green leafy substance and a pink “grinder” also containing a green leafy substance. The green leafy substance field-tested positive for marijuana.

Both Martyn and Hernandez were placed under arrest and trans-ported to the Woods County Jail. Their vehicle was impounded.

Hawley said that in a post-Mi-randa interview Martyn said he was aware of the marijuana in the ve-hicle and admitted to possessing it. He said he smoked marijuana regu-larly. In a post-Miranda interview, Hernandez said she and Martyn fre-quently smoke marijuana together and she had knowledge of the items in the vehicle.

Jason Allen Martyn, 24, of Alva has been charged with mis-demeanors of possession of CDS (controlled dangerous substance) and possession of paraphernalia. Danary Hernandez, 23, no address listed, has been charged with mis-demeanor possession of CDS and possession of paraphernalia.

Hospital board to meet Tuesday

By Marione MartinAn Alva resident left his pickup

running while he went inside his house for something. A thief took advantage of the opportunity and drove off in the vehicle. Mitchell Rader, 19, of 810 Second St. told police he went to the house to get something, parked and ran inside. He said he heard the pickup take off and saw it going toward Okla-homa Boulevard. The theft oc-

driver’s license, debit card and student ID in the vehicle along with a black and red backpack, some CDs and college books.

The vehicle was later recov-ered with damage to the passenger side tail light area. The wallet and keys were missing. Alva Police Officer Jade Cardenas investigat-ed.

From Front Page Chargedintoxication, and put him the back passenger seat of his patrol vehicle.

File knocked on the door of the residence but no one answered. The two officers walked around the residence and saw the screen of the east window was off and lying on the ground. File also noticed the wooden privacy fence, near the gate, appeared to have been broken. He took pictures of the damage and took the two men to the Woods County Jail.

About 7:15 a.m. Officer File returned to 118 Oklahoma Blvd. where Melton answered the door. She said she did not know Collins or Compo and had no idea why they would have been knocking at her residence early in the morning. He asked Melton if she wanted to press charges, and she said no, that she didn’t want anything to do with getting both individuals in more trouble.

Assault and Battery ArrestOn July 17 about 1:20 a.m.,

Alva Police Officer Jade Cardenas was dispatched to Share Medical Center to check on a person who had been stabbed. She spoke with James Mark Jokel, who was being treated for a stab wound.

Jokel said Lawrence Compo had been staying at Ginny Miner’s house with him. Jokel said he and Compo started drinking in the

afternoon around 3 p.m. Compo began arguing with and threatening both him and Miner. Jokel said he pointed a fork at Compo’s chest and told him to shut his mouth and leave. Miner took Compo and dropped him off across town.

Jokel said he went to sleep in his recliner and hours later he woke up. When he woke up, Compo was on top of him with a knife but jumped off. At approximately 12:50 a.m. Miner arrived home to find Compo at her house again. She told him to leave and that he wasn’t supposed to be in her house. Jokel said he got up from the recliner to go to the bathroom and noticed that he was bleeding and sore. He said the blood wasn’t stopping so Miner took him to the hospital.

Waynoka with some friends found him helping a skater up from the floor. Her name was Beulah Corbin and he thought she was a “dandy.” They were married in 1951, three days after she graduated from high school.

Nine months later he was drafted into the Marine Corps, and served in Korea until 1954. Upon return-ing from the service he and his fa-ther bought their first rotary rig and started Lehl and Son Water Well Drilling. He and Beulah worked as a team for the next 39 years. He drilled and installed windmills and pumps while she managed the shop and the books.

They raised their four children, Ron, Judy, Gary and Mark. They enjoyed making kites, snow igloos, sledding over the farm terraces, traveling and camping. He was an expert and cleaned all their fish, built tree houses and fixed things.

His talents were put to work in the church. His stained glass hobby became a project of the heart as he and other members of the church removed and restored each of the 78 stained glass windows. First United Methodist was his church home since birth. He sang in the choir, served on the board and was a member of the Homebuilders Sunday school class.

The grandkids remember his teasing, wiggly ears, arm wrestling, as well as him cutting wheat and digging for dinosaur bones at the farm, and his love of ice cream and Dr. Pepper.

Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by two brothers; Harold Lehl and Elvest Lehl; and one great granddaughter, Savannah Lehl.

Carl is survived by his wife, Beulah, of Alva; three sons, Ron and Susie Lehl of Wilmore, Kan., Gary and Myrhenda Lehl of Alva, and Mark and Carla Lehl of Alva; one daughter, Judy and Ron Strah-an of Edmond; and two sisters, Nel-lie Lohrding of Coldwater, Kan., and Frieda Staake of Forsythe, Mo.

Also surviving are 12 grand-children, Mike and Renee Lehl, Rocky and Marci Lehl, Ashley Lehl, Nicholas Strahan, Tad Stra-han, Travis Lehl and fiancé Ashley, Blake Lehl, Ryan Tune, Rhenda and Daren Bunch, Alisha and Ron Willett, Keyla and Dave Flavell, and Jacob and Jill Estep; 13 great grandchildren; other relatives and friends.

the added expense of a second trial on the same matter, leaving him desperate for money.

The second trial was also lengthy – Inger-soll’s masterful summation at the end of the tri-al, alone, took six full days. During Ingersoll’s summation, one of the jurors suffered from se-vere tremors. Also memorable was when one of the lawyers present got excited and put the lighted end of his cigar into his mouth, thereby burning off half of his mustache. But after elev-en months of hearings and 9,000 pages of court records, Dorsey was at last found “not guilty” of all charges.

However, Dorsey had begun to drink heav-ily during his trials, and his doctors claimed the stress of the legal wrangling could leave him totally blind. About this time, Dorsey became well known for liberally plying his many guests at the mansion with the contents of his large, well-stocked wine cellar.

During the party that was entertained by the Kansas City chorus girls, Dorsey chose to focus his charm and wit (along with

jewelry and the Fairview ladies across from me (they were cute, too). The Fairview ladies had a program to increase brain power. After visiting with me, the head lady was afraid I didn’t have enough money and they didn’t have enough time to get me up to speed. I was offended just a bit so I had intelligence tests run. The results came back negative!

I am glad to see the new faces and will miss the old friends. The field representative for American Farmers and Ranchers from Arapaho were in the Brook’s Agency booth. He told me that he was very impressed with our fair, the number of merchants and the amount of people who came out to it. Good job there, fair board members and all who make it the great time it is. One booth I do miss is the Alva Police/Sheriff’s Office booth. I think there was a lot of good will spread from there.

In Washington, use of the word “vetting” is usually con-fined to unknown political can-didates and cabinet nominees. So what is this vetting in Syria everyone is talking about? Is the U.S. government requiring opposition fighters to fill out questionnaires? Show photo ID? Hand over bank state-ments and tax returns?

Whatever it is doing – a good bit of it is classified – the Obama administration, along with some supporters on Capitol Hill, claims its vetting can distinguish the good guys from the brutal jihadist killers among the Syrian rebels. But some key members of Con-gress remain very concerned.

“In places like Syria, vet-ting can be unreliable and in-consistent,” Republican Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told me via email recently. “So far, the adminis-tration has not made a compel-ling case that it can differen-tiate between the factions, or that it even knows the makeup of the factions. The conclu-sions it has drawn as a result of its vetting are in stark contrast to the briefings I’ve received, and I remain concerned that a large part of these rebels pose a great threat to our interests.”

The true nature of the Syr-ian rebels has turned into per-haps the pivotal issue in the in-tervention debate. Among the many question that opponents of intervention have, perhaps the most fundamental is this: Who are we helping?

The question came up when Secretary of State John Kerry recently visited both House and Senate foreign affairs commit-tees. And it became clear that there are stark differences in opinion -- and “opinion” seems the right word – over who is who in the Syrian opposition.

“Who are the rebel forces?” asked McCaul, who receives classified briefings in his role with the Homeland Security Committee. “Every time I get briefed on this it gets worse and worse, because the majority now of these rebel forces – and I say majority now – are radi-cal Islamists pouring in from all over the world to come to Syria for the fight.”

Kerry strongly disputed McCaul’s question. “I just don’t agree that a majority are al-Qaida and the bad guys,” he told McCaul. “That’s not true. There are about 70,000 to 100,000 oppositionists, about

case resulted in Stephen Dorsey being charged with fraud in a Washington, D.C., court. To represent him in the case, Dorsey chose Rob-ert Ingersoll, a lawyer consid-ered by many to be the most brilliant lawyer in the United States. In fact, Dorsey became involved in so many lawsuits of various kinds that he had a separate residence set up a

few miles from his mansion for Ingersoll.The facts of the Star case involved such

things as one mail carrier receiving $30,000 a year for transporting mail “that would fit in a man’s boot” over a mountain once a month. The first fraud trial (which also involved such charges as jury bribing) cost Dorsey $200,000, which at the time was a monumental sum. Some of Dorsey’s confederates were found not guilty in the case, but the jury became deadlocked concerning Dorsey himself. Thus he had to face

By Tom and Ray MagliozziDear Tom and Ray:With talk about the potential

(though unlikely) event of a large solar flare di-rectly hitting Earth, some high-tech engi-neering types are discussing the merits of using home-made Faraday

cages to protect electronics and power-generating equipment and vehicle computers. Rather than place in the garage a large, galva-nized steel container that’s large enough to park a car in after the container has been lined with insulation and add a conductive layer around the car, I’m thinking it would be more practical to just buy a spare car and maintain it, albeit one that does not have any electronic controls. I’m thinking a carbureted vehicle built before the ‘80s would do the trick. The question I have is, Would a car with a carburetor built prior to 1980 continue to run (assuming that it can run OK prior to this po-tential event) after Earth has been hit with a large solar flare, similar to the Carrington Event of 1859, which was strong enough to cause electrical shocks to telegraph op-erators? Also, what would be a suggested vehicle to keep for such an event? -- Larry

RAY: Well, we all remember what chaos the world was cast into after the 1859 Carrington Event, Larry. Life, as we knew it, was extinguished. I mean, try finding a telegraph operator to-day! Where are they? You think it’s a coincidence that you can’t find a telegraph operator any-more?

TOM: Doesn’t anybody screen these letters?

RAY: Actually, I think it’s a very reasonable question, Larry. We’ll do our best to help you out.

TOM: OK. In order to avoid being automotively stranded by some sort of major, Earth-wide electrical disturbance, you need to go back to before computers were used to manage engines, and before electronic ignition. That would put you in the early 1970s.

RAY: I think the car for you is a 1972 Dodge Dart, Larry. It’s proven pretty reliable. Since it has a nerdy cult following, there

are lots of parts still available for these cars. It has a one-barrel Holley carburetor and no impor-tant electronics that would be af-fected by electromagnetic radia-tion. In fact, it doesn’t have any electronics at all.

TOM: Or, here’s another idea: How about a nice, 1971 Chevy Kingswood Estate Wagon? That’s got a nice, simple, carbureted V-8 engine, and the fake wood panel-ing should survive any electrical event. Plus, a full-size station wagon will give you plenty of room to carry around the provi-sions you’ll need for the next 50 years.

RAY: But whatever car you get, just to be on the safe side, you might want to take the radio out and wrap it in tinfoil.

TOM: But don’t use all of your tinfoil. You’ll need to have enough left over to make your hat, Larry. Godspeed.

Taking advantage of Grandma

September 15, 2013 Alva Review-Courier Page 5

Reader wants older car in case of solar flare

Dear Annie: My cousin’s daughter, “Julie,” moved her family of four in with my aunt (her grandmother) after my aunt’s husband died. It was done on the pretense of helping Grandma maintain her home and large yard.

In fact, the opposite has happened. They’ve created more work for her by making a mess, not doing their laundry and not picking up after themselves. Julie has a 5-year-old boy who constantly damages things in the home, and his mother does nothing to admonish him. The boy goes into Grandma’s room and takes her things, and when she confronts both Julie and her son, she’s told to lock up her possessions. This same child has hit her and cussed at her.

Grandma’s doctor has told her that she needs to move the family out of her home to reduce her stress levels. But when she tells this to Julie and Julie’s mother (my cousin), Grandma is told that she’s exaggerating or lying about the situation. I’ve been in my aunt’s home and have seen what’s going on. I am helpless to do anything but try to calm her nerves and clean up the house. Other family members also have witnessed this and commented to the same effect.

My aunt has said that she wants her granddaughter’s family to leave, but can’t handle having her daughter harass her about it. She’s also worried about the little children because she is the one who makes sure they are fed a decent meal

and get a bath. Any suggestions? – Worried and Helpless

Dear Worried: Your cousin and her daughter are taking advantage of Grandma. Their interest in her well-being extends only to what works to their benefit. You can report abuse of any kind – financial, emotional, physical – to Adult Protective Services in your aunt’s area. Someone will investigate the situation. You also can call the Eldercare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 for resources. However, your aunt may choose not to cooperate with the authorities, in which case, please visit as often as possible, keeping an eye on the situation and making sure your cousin and her daughter are aware that you are watching.

Dear Annie: Four years ago, our then 30-year-old son fell in love with a woman he met online. They are now engaged, but her estranged father is not invited to the wedding.

Our son describes his future mother-in-law as a “sweet lady,” but has never met the father. My husband and I have yet to meet either one and have some unanswered questions about the missing father. Our son doesn’t seem to know anything and does not share our concerns. He doesn’t even want to learn the circumstances that led to the family splitting up. We worry there could be repercussions later once they have children.

How can we advise our son to know all that he should? – Concerned

In-Laws To BeDear Concerned: Please, please,

back off. We know you are only thinking of your son’s best interests. But the personal circumstances of his fiancee’s parents’ breakup are none of your business. If your son and his future bride have children someday and Grandpa’s absence becomes an issue, they will handle it then. It is unlikely that anything he discovers now will change his desire to marry her.

Dear Annie: I have a solution for “Mom,” who needed her rest but felt she had to wait up for her 18-year-old daughter to get home.

A woman in our church had four daughters. When one went out on a date, she gave her a curfew and then set her alarm clock for that time. The daughter would turn off the alarm when she returned home. Otherwise, it would go off, and Mom would know the girl missed her curfew, and she’d be grounded. This allowed Mom to get a good night’s sleep. – A Faithful Reader

around. They had to guess the num-ber of pennies in the bottle to win. Cleo did the bottles and did not tell me how many were in each one, be-cause she said I wasn’t the best secret keeper. The first night there were 599 pennies in the jar. Michelle Peter-man guessed 600 for first and Mark Willson got the jar of pennies with a guess of 619. The second night Tina Pettus guessed 853 and was right on the mark. The second closest guess was 852 by Carolyn Grable. Mrs./Miss Grable did not leave a phone number, so if you know her please tell her she has a jar of pennies wait-ing for her.

Cleo and I went back Saturday evening for the free food. There

didn’t seem to be very many people there, but those that were there got a very good meal and some good en-tertainment from the band that was playing. They handed out the awards for the cook-off completion before the free food. Vendetti, the plumber, is a multi-talented guy, because he won in a couple of categories at the cook-off. The Perks in the cook-off had mud left over on him from his mud-run trip. I asked if it was his se-cret ingredient in his food and he did not say yes or no. Must be good mud because he won, too.

Next weekend is the car show. More free food! I hope it quits rain-ing Friday afternoon and starts back Sunday evening. I think my brother

From Page 4 Gemsis going to bring his Falcon convert-ible to the car show, so that will be cool.

Once in a while something is put on Facebook that makes me proud. This was posted on 9-11 by my son: “Twelve years ago today I was on my way to my store when I heard the news about the towers being hit by the planes. After that I reenlisted in the Army National Guard. Since then I have been deployed twice in sup-port of the war on terror. If asked, I would do it all over again, and still stand ready to go wherever the nation deems us to go. Shall we never forget the people who took down the plane in Pennsylvania, the firefighters and policemen who went into the towers and never came out, the soldiers who have lost their lives or are wounded, the soldiers who have answered the call, and all the people who lost their lives that September day.” Amen.

liberal amounts of champagne) on a particularly argumentative guest. Dorsey made a show of serving one “fresh bottle” after another to his challenger, until his tormentor sud-denly lurched and slid off his chair, having literally been drunk under the table.

Dorsey studied the fallen per-son for some time, and finally re-marked, “Where is my adversary? He seems to have fallen early in combat.”

As might be expected, along with his mounting money troubles, Dorsey began to have serious dif-ferences not only with creditors, but also with his ranch managers and some of his associates. As a result, Dorsey developed a rather creative way of settling up with them, using cattle from his ranch as payment.

According to Dorsey’s alleged payment scheme, he would have his cattle driven into his holding pens from the south, where they

were counted. Then the cattle were driven out of the pens to the north, then around a large hill to the west, and back south, where some of them would again be driven into the holding pens to be counted again.

According to a 1980’s lecture I attended at the mansion, Dorsey was tripped up when a Scottish bookkeeper was heard to say, “I just bought that one-horned cow for the third and last time.” But accord-ing to the account in “Rogue!” a lop-horned cow named “Old Buck” (who had one horn turned upwards, and one downward) was trained to walk in a circular pattern by him-self, leading the other cattle around the hill again and again. According to legend, for years afterwards, he could be seen wandering slowly around the hill by himself. This cat-tle payment scheme, if true, would certainly not have endeared Dorsey to his creditors or associates.

Next week, the final installment about the Dorsey mansion.

By Betty RigginsThe 2013 Golbek and Shearer

reunion was held Saturday evening at the Moose Lodge and Sunday at the Alva Senior Citizen building.

This annual reunion started back in 1954 as a 50th wedding anniversary for Ernest and Elsie Shearer. Seventeen children were born to this couple. Three of the Shearer young ladies – Irene, Hazel and Thelma – married three Golbek young men – Edd, Otto and Reu-ben. These Golbek men came from a family of 12 children. The cou-ples contributed 14 children to all the other family members, who de-cided a reunion would be the only way they could all get acquainted. As a result, the yearly reunion was started. It has survived the loss of the elder Shearers as well as many others, but it has been a blast to get reacquainted with so many loved ones.

The Shearer ladies carried on the reunion for 25 years. Then grand-daughters Elsie Shipley and Betty Riggins took over for 40 years. Fred and Sherry Riggins, Jeannie Smith and Catherine Valencia have

organized the reunion for the last four years now. Betty has resigned, but the younger generation’s fami-lies will carry on with Betty’s help.

There have been so many beau-tiful memories over the years. I am sure those who have gone on be-fore are smiling at the fun we are having that balances the crying at heartaches. Life is a long struggle for everyone.

We will see all of you next year about the same time. God bless all of our families. May you have a blessed year.

By Betty RigginsFriday, Sept. 6, was a warm day

and the count was low. We had a great weekend, as it was the county fair and many seniors and younger people attended this event as many things for everyone were going on. The one thing missing is a nice carnival with popcorn and cotton candy, everyone loves that.

Monday, Sept. 9, was a nice breezy day still in need of a good rain. We had a low attendance again, as so many complain of the menu. Our people who make up our menus are going to have to get on the ball and do something to improve them so they will bring in a big attendance. Alan and Pam smith are enjoying a visit with their

children and playing with their granddaughter. They are having a great time.

Tuesday was a nice summer day and we had a good attendance, as the meal was ham and beans. This does bring in a good attendance even if it is a winter meal, as it is always good. We had several at the bingo table. I think we are lacking on prizes, as I think we need some new ones.

Wednesday was a nice sunny day with a great breakfast for lunch plus great attendance. Jerry and Wanda Cox are away for a few days again; they are a busy couple. Earlene Evans is coming back to the center after several weeks of illness.

On Thursday there was not much news, as the attendance is still very low. I need exciting news, as so many have said they enjoy the senior write-up. I did not go visiting the rest home, as I have been under the weather also, so haven’t been out and around much.

Next week we make noodles on Monday, Sept. 16. On Tuesday, Sept. 17, Kuykendall Hearing will be at the center. On Wednesday, Sept. 18, Mallory Seevers is supposed to entertain for us if he isn’t working. On Thursday, Sept. 19, the Red Hat Scarlet ladies will be gone to their monthly outing.

Don’t forget the Big Cruise and Car Show! Thanks for reading my notes.

The Alva Research Club had its annual coffee meeting Aug. 9 at the Homestead.

Hostess Marilyn Brown and Carolyn Gasaway served delicious refreshments. President Betty Ben-son called the meeting to order. The club collect was read by the group. Ten members were pres-ent: Betty Benson, Rose Elmore, Marilyn Brown, Carolyn Gasaway, Elma McMurphy, Joyce Bender, Jo Ann Pruitt, Linda Peterman, Charla Parker and Shelly Martin. A short business meeting followed.

The program was presented by Charla Parker on the Northwestern singers’ trip to China in March. The 25 students, along with 10 sponsors, performed at various universities in China. They were met with a very good attendance –

standing room only – and treated courteously at their performances. The students were asked to take small gifts to exchange with some of the Chinese students.

They rode the bullet train (one of the fastest trains in the world) to one of their performance. The group also got to see some great sites in China. Charla said the streets were packed with pedestri-ans, who were not too courteous. The traffic was also very heavy, with six- and four-lane highways, and lots of bicycles and motorcy-cles. The bigger cities, like Hong Kong and Beijing, have 20 to 30 million people living there. Many of the Chinese like our western culture, especially the dress and the food – just the American life-style.

From Page 4 Yorksomewhere, maybe 15 percent to 25 percent might be in one group or another who are what we would deem to be bad guys.”

McCaul would not accept Ker-ry’s numbers. “The briefings I’ve received, unless I’ve gotten differ-ent ones or inaccurate briefings, are 50 percent and rising,” he said. “These fighters coming globally are not coming in as moderates. They are coming in as jihadists.”

McCaul later said he was “stunned” by Kerry’s assertion. When it comes to how many Syrian rebels are good and how many are bad, the U.S. government cannot come to agreement with itself.

Kerry explained that he has met several times with opposi-

tion leaders in the last year. “They have evolved ... significantly,” he said. “Are they where they need to be? Not completely. But they have changed markedly over the course of the last few months.”

The rebels, many of whom are militantly Islamist, are now inclu-sive, Kerry claimed. “At our in-sistence ... they reached out and expanded significantly their base within Syria. They elected new leadership. They brought in a much broader base of Syrian representa-tion, including women, including minorities, Christians, others.”

After Kerry spoke, Deputy Na-tional Security Adviser Tony Blink-en told Fox News the administra-tion is working with the “moderate opposition” and aims to “make sure that not only our assistance but the assistance of other countries goes to them and stays away from the

radical extreme opposition.”In the next moment, Blinken

conceded, “It’s not a perfect sci-ence.”

No, it’s not. Are violent jihad-ists one-quarter of the rebel forces, or one-half, or something else? No one seems to know.

The problem intensified with the circulation of a video showing Syrian rebels summarily execut-ing captured government soldiers. There are other such videos around – the incident was in no way the first example of rebel viciousness – but the pictures seemed to highlight the dilemma as the intervention de-bate rages on Capitol Hill. The Syr-ian civil war is a very ugly thing for the U.S. to be involved in, no mat-ter how much vetting goes on first.

Medicare takes over at age 65.Another variable is tobacco use.

Smokers will pay 10 percent more than non-smokers for Aetna’s poli-cies, 20 percent more for Coven-try’s policies and anywhere from 10 percent to more than 30 percent for Blue Cross Blue Shield’s plans.

Geographic location is a factor, too. Under Obamacare, Oklahoma has been divided into five regions. Insurers are allowed to charge dif-ferent rates in different regions based on their claim histories and projected costs.

Aetna’s lowest rates will be of-fered in the Oklahoma City metro area. Rates are five percent higher in Le Flore and Sequoyah coun-ties, 13 percent higher in the seven-county Tulsa metro area, 34 percent higher in Comanche County and 23 percent higher in the rest of the state. Other companies have differ-ent geographic rate formulas.

In most cases, marketplace cus-tomers will wind up paying consid-erably less than the companies’ pol-icy rates because they will receive federal tax credits to offset the cost. The amount of the credits will vary, depending mainly on income, and will be calculated on a person-by-person basis.

The tax credits will be available to individuals with incomes be-tween $11,490 and $45,960 a year, and four-person families between $23,440 and $94,200. People with higher incomes can purchase insur-ance in the federal marketplace, but they will pay the full posted rate for

their plans. Oklahomans with lower in-

comes below 100 percent of the federal poverty level are not eligible to receive subsidized plans through the marketplace because the Afford-able Care Act originally contained a nationwide expansion of Medicaid to cover everyone below the pov-erty line.

That provision of the law was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court. Oklahoma declined to ex-pand its Medicaid program vol-untarily. As a result, as many as 150,000 uninsured Oklahomans are expected to remain stuck in a cover-age crater, ineligible for either sub-sidized program.

About 337,000 uninsured Okla-homans will be eligible to partici-pate in the health care marketplace and receive federal tax subsidies, according to one recent study. The marketplace is open to anyone who can’t participate in an affordable employer-provided plan and who doesn’t qualify for other forms of public insurance such as Medicare.

The marketplace will begin ac-cepting applications on Oct. 1 for coverage that begins on Jan. 1, 2014. The federal government already is pre-registering applicants through its marketplace website, http://www.healthcare.gov. The toll-free help line is 1-800-318-2596.

The federal government is oper-ating the marketplace in Oklahoma. Private insurance companies will issue the policies. Because the mar-ketplace will offer a wide range of

plans with different rates and tax credit calculations, it is expected that many people will need one-on-one guidance. Individual counsel-ing will be provided by the federal government, by health clinics and other nonprofit organizations, and by licensed health insurance agents.

Five companies are planning to offer insurance policies to Oklaho-mans through the health care mar-ketplace. Three of them — Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Coven-try — are offering preferred provid-er plans that allow policy holders to pay less if they use “network” doc-tors and services, but let them go outside the network if they choose and still receive some insurance re-imbursement.

The other two companies — GlobalHealth Inc., and Community Care — operate health maintenance organizations that require policy holders to use only network doctors and health facilities. If they go out-side the network, they pay the entire cost themselves.

All five companies have posted their rates with the Oklahoma De-partment of Insurance. But the de-partment released the information only for the three PPO companies. It said state law does not allow it to release rate information for HMOs.

Aetna acquired Coventry earlier this year. But the two companies made separate rate filings listing different plans and rates for the poli-cies they plan to issue in Oklahoma.

The three companies’ rate schedules are voluminous. Blue

Cross Blue Shield filed a 207-page document containing hundreds of rates; Aetna’s filing listed 35 plan types and filled 151 pages.

The companies did not provide information in their filings on how rates for plans being offered un-der the Affordable Care Act com-pare to plans on existing policies. Advocates of the law caution that such comparisons are misleading because existing plans often don’t contain the full range of benefits re-quired under the act, and companies can no longer exclude people with pre-existing medical conditions.

Oklahoma Insurance Commis-sioner John Doak, a critic of Obam-acare, said the new policies being offered to individuals in the federal health insurance marketplace will cost 30 percent to 100 percent more than pre-Obamacare policies. He said small group insurance plans will be 10 percent to 25 percent higher.

“Our fears have been con-firmed,” Doak said in a news bulle-tin. “For some consumers, the cost of health insurance will increase significantly.”

Doak’s assertion was challenged by David Blatt, director of the Okla-homa Policy Institute, a non-gov-ernment research group that sup-ports the health-care act.

“His claims are not based on data, but rather on informal con-versations that his staff apparently had with some insurance carriers,” Blatt said. “Commissioner Doak’s statement is in line with his political opposition to the Affordable Care Act.”

Oklahoma Insurance Depart-ment spokeswoman Calley McGe-hee Herth said Doak’s rate-increase figures were based on detailed anal-yses by the insurance carriers pro-viding the policies. Their findings were then communicated to state officials, she said.

By Leslie NationThe Alva High School Gold-

bugs battled with Morrison in their home opener Friday at the Ranger football field.

Last week against Thomas-Fay-Custer, Alva struggled to get yard-age and convert some much-needed third downs and even fourth downs to keep the ball in their possession, but tonight was a different story. Senior and starting quarterback Ty Hooper was able to connect with some of his key receivers to re-cord over 300 yards passing for the game.

But the Morrison Wildcats showed up Alva’s defense at the start with their 14-play series. Morrison quarterback Jordan Qui-nata had an impressive running and passing game in their first posses-sion, throwing five passes and con-necting on all of them. In the end, it was a one-yard rushing touchdown by Quinata that got Morrison’s first six points on the board, accompa-nied by an unsuccessful two-point conversion.

Alva started their possession at their 21 yard line with over four minutes left in the first quar-ter. Hooper had trouble connecting with his receivers – often over-throwing – but he quickly found a rhythm, throwing six passes for six completions. Alva’s first big play came when Hooper passed to starting receiver Riley Hess for a 30-yard gain. A holding penalty was called on the Goldbugs, but it was still enough for a first down at Morrison’s 33-yard line. The Gold-bugs fought their way back to the 10 after a six-yard run by Hooper and a 17-yard pass to Hess. Hooper handed off to Cody Jones to push up the middle, then found a hole in Morrison’s secondary to cut left for a 10-yard touchdown. A failed ex-tra point attempt tied the Goldbugs with Morrison 6-6.

It wasn’t long into the second

quarter and Alva was making a case for their win. From their 14 yard line, Hooper found the open hands of Dalton Manning, who burst down the field after dodg-ing a tackle by Quinata for an 86-yard touchdown. After a successful two-point conversion run by Cade Pfleider, the Goldbugs led for the first time this season 14-6 with over nine minutes left in the half.

Morrison was able to find simi-lar success on their offense as Al-va’s defense struggled to stop the running and passing game. At one point during the Wildcats’ posses-sion it looked like it would be cut short with a third down and 16 yards to go, but a 22-yard pass to sophomore Justin Bearry kept it

alive. Quinata would pass it two more times for starting running back Scotty Vandorn to run it into the end zone for a two-yard touch-down and a two point conversion to tie the game.

Less than a minute in Alva’s possession the Wildcats’ offense

was back on the field. Morrison put up three rushing plays to push it down Alva’s throat as Vandorn re-corded another rushing touchdown to take the lead.

Alva regrouped quickly with four and a half minutes left in the half. The Goldbugs made their

stand to get back the lead when Hooper threw a 23-yard pass over a Morrison defender into the hands of 6’ 4” Hess, his first receiving touch-down of the game. The Goldbugs ended the half in the lead 22-20.

In the second half, the Gold-bugs were looking to put the game away as Hooper found Hess in the end zone for his second receiv-ing touchdown of over 20 yards. The Wildcats tried to retaliate, but ended their possession on an unsuc-cessful fourth-down conversion on Alva’s 30 yard line. Alva got their chance to extend their lead on a handoff to starting running back Cody Jones, who spun away from a defender and broke a tackle for the open backfield and a 70-yard touchdown.

With the score 38-20, Alva leading, Hooper recorded his fourth passing touchdown, finding Trevor Johnson wide open at Morrison’s 35 yard line, and ran it the rest of the way to the end zone. Hooper got his fifth passing touchdown of the night to find Hess for a third time, who gave the Goldbugs a huge lead of 54-20. By that time, Alva’s defense was able to put on the pressure to stop some potential big plays by Morrison and slow their offense. The game ended with the Goldbugs’ first win of the sea-son.

The Alva Goldbugs are now 1-1. They will face Hobart in an-other home game on Sept. 20 at 7:30 p.m.

By Leslie NationThe Alva Middle School foot-

ball team had an uphill battle against Hennessey on Monday, losing ground early for a shutout loss.

It didn’t take long for the Ea-gles to establish a lead over the Goldbugs. Within the last three and a half minutes of the first quarter Hennessey got three touchdowns, two of them rushing and one off the Eagles’ defense. Hennessey contin-

ued to beat down the Goldbugs’ de-fense with two more rushing touch-downs. Even the Eagles’ defense capitalized on Alva’s errors after a deflected pass fell in the hands of an Eagles’ linebacker, who ran it back for a 49-yard touchdown.

At the end of the half Hen-nessey led the Goldbugs 44-0, and the Goldbugs attempted to regroup for the second half.

Having a huge lead going into the third quarter, Hennessey stuck

with their running back for the rest of the game. Alva was finally able to slow down the Eagles’ offense and get some yardage of their own. But it was too late; with only two possession changes in the entire second half and Hennessey wind-ing down the clock, the Goldbugs lost their first game at home 44-0.

The Goldbugs are now 1-1 for the season and will face Enid at Alva High School on Tuesday, Sept. 17, at 6 p.m.

By Leslie NationThe Alva Middle School (AMS)

softball team got a late four-run ral-ly to win 6-2 over Fairview Thurs-day at the Alva Recreation Com-

plex.After going three-up and three-

down on defense, the Ladybugs scored their first two runs off a fly ball to left field smashed by Cam-

ryn Wren for a two-run homerun. Fairview was able to cut that lead in half in the second inning with a sacrifice ground ball to get the run-ner in at third.

Alva’s inability to get their bats going in the bottom of the second gave Fairview a chance to come back in the third to tie the game at 2-2.

Though the Ladybugs could not get anything past Fairview’s defense, they were able to hold the Lady Jackets to two runs for the rest of the game. In the top of the fourth, Alva’s field made two big plays for three outs and a chance to get in the lead. Hannah O’Neil got their first out of the inning after a fly ball came to right field for an easy catch. With a runner on first, a pop fly put first baseman Tatum Hughes in a position to make a double play after catching it in the air and tagging her base to get both runners out.

The Ladybugs took full advan-tage of the situation. With a run-ner on third, Kaleigh Henke hit a fly ball to left field for an RBI sin-gle to score Hughes and take the lead. A hard ground ball to right field by Alva’s leadoff, O’Neil, allowed Henke to come home for another score. The Ladybugs got two more runs from O’Neil with a steal to home and another hard ground ball from Wren to score Dru Byrant.

Eighth-grader Wren pitched the entire game and ended the game in the top of the fifth allow-ing only one hit in the last inning and striking out three Fairview batters.

The Ladybugs are now 8-8 for the season and will go on the road to face Mooreland on Monday, Sept. 16, at 4:30 p.m.

By Leslie NationThe Alva High School Lady-

bugs softball team got an early lead to roll right past Waukomis and into the next round at the Northwest Shootout Tournament in Fairview on Thursday.

The Ladybugs got their first run when Katlin Ramy hit an RBI ground ball to left field scoring Natalie Seevers. While that was Alva’s only run of the inning they got another chance to extend their lead after going three-up and three-down on defense. In the second in-ning, Tatum Honer was first to help Alva rack up the runs on the score-board after an RBI line drive single to center field brought in Kally Gor-don from third and Patricia Beeler from second.

With the score 3-0 and the La-dybugs with two outs, Ally Riley was able to keep things alive after a dropped third strike by Waukomis’ catcher allowed her to reach first and Honer to sneak in for another run. Alva got two more runs after Ramy put up another RBI to the outfield to score Riley and Darian Carothers.

With the score 6-0 in the bot-tom of the second, Waukomis was

finally able to get a run on Alva’s defense. The Ladybugs answered back with a run of their own in the third, and Waukomis didn’t get their second and final run until the bot-tom of the fourth.

In the top of the fifth, the Lady-bugs had another 5-0 rally to put the game away at 12-2.

N. Seevers pitched a strong game for all but one batter in the bottom of the fifth, allowing only two hits and two runs and striking out seven. Sabrina Hughbanks pitched for the last batter with no trouble to end the game for another win. Sopho-more Honer had a big game at bat, getting two hits and two runs to go with four RBIs to help the Lady-bugs extend their lead. Ramy added to those RBIs with three of her own.

The Ladybugs have recorded 18 wins with only four losses thus far in the season and are currently ranked number 12 in the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Asso-ciation (OSSAA). Alva was sched-uled to play Friday at 11:30 a.m. against the Fairview Lady Yellow Jackets in the tournament, but their game was delayed due to rain. They were rescheduled to play them on Saturday at 10 a.m.

Ladybugs push past Waukomis to advance in the Northwest Shootout

By Leslie NationNorthwestern’s defense strug-

gled to slow down Harding’s of-fense on Saturday losing in a 69-0 shutout in Searcy, Ark.

After losing their season open-er against Arkansas Tech at home 38-10, the Rangers faced Harding University for the first time in 25 years.

Harding got underway with first possession, inching their way down the field from their 25-yard line for a three-yard rushing touchdown by starting quarter-back Jacob Moore. The Rangers started their first possession to re-spond with Ranger starting quar-terback and red-shirt freshman, Reid Miller. Miller threw 17 passes for only six completions and fewer than 70 yards against Arkansas Tech and was looking at a clean slate for Saturday.

The Rangers struggled early on offense after Miller came out from a concussion injury after a huge first down run. Second string quarterback Jake Streck came in to continue the series but fumbled on his third play of the drive. Harding recovered at their own 21-yard line.

In their next possession Hard-ing showed the Rangers they would not make it easy on them, moving down the field in four plays as Moore recorded another rushing touchdown for 26 yards.

With the score 14-0, North-western was back in possession and Miller took position again be-hind the center to start the drive at the 27. After one third down conversion, the Rangers had to punt the ball away to Harding. The Bison’s started their fresh possession on their own 15-yard line, but this was little challenge for them. After an eight-yard run from Romo Westbrook and a 12-yard run from Jason Oller, Moore passed the ball to Alex Rachal for a 66-yard touchdown to put Hard-ing up by 21.

Just over two minutes left in the first quarter, Streck came in for Miller after his injury sidelined him for the rest of the game. The Rang-ers attempted to find the end zone on this drive, but after six plays they punted the ball to Harding to come back on defense in the second quarter.

Harding continued to bulldoze through Northwestern’s defense for three more touchdowns before the end of the half leading the Rangers 41-0.

The break between halves wasn’t enough for the Rangers to regroup as Harding continued to shut down their offense. The Ranger’s third string quarterback and freshman, L.T. Pfaff had to come in for Streck after he suffered an injury similar to Miller’s that sidelined him for the rest of the game.

Harding built a substantial lead

Rangers lose their second game in a blowout against Hardingagainst Northwestern before the half and the Bison began to put in their reserves to finish the game.

The Bison went on to score four more touchdowns to effectively end the game 69-0 against Northwestern.

Harding recorded over 700 total yards on offense; over 500 of those yards came from their running game.

The Rangers are now 0-2 for the season and will continue on the road to go up against Arkansas-Monticello on Saturday, Sep. 21, at 6 p.m. Last year, the Rangers beat Arkansas-Monticello 38-35 in their last game of the regular season.

By Leslie NationThe Lady Rangers’ soccer team

went head-to-head in an intense matchup at the Alva Recreation Complex against the University of Nebraska-Kearney (UNK) Lopers – another opponent from the Mid-American Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) conference.

While the Rangers played with more intensity in their game on Fri-day than they did against the Lop-ers’ fellow conference opponent, Fort Hays State, they still came up short for a 3-0 loss.

The Lady Rangers’ intensity showed through the amount of pressure they put on the Lopers’ side of the field. While the Rang-ers were able to retain possession of the ball, they were not as aggres-

sive in taking shots, being out shot by the Lopers 24-15, six of those on goal. Pressure on both sides of the field kept the teams scoreless for the first 32 minutes of the first half.

Northwestern’s Alyssa Wil-liams came close to breaking this drought at the 27-minute mark, kicking the ball from 35 feet out to hit the crossbar of the Lopers’ goal.

But the Lopers were the ones to finally break through the Rangers’ defense just over 33 minutes into the half when UNK’s Montanna Hosterman scored their first goal off a corner kick by Breezy Jahnke. Eleven minutes later, UNK extend-ed their lead to 2-0 before going into the second half. The Lopers recorded their third and final goal

just under the 75-minute mark by Delanie Phillips with the assist from Holly Brown.

Of the Rangers, Melissa Ham-rick led with three shots on goal, and Erica Hostetter and Kaitlyn O’Toole had four shots of their own. Both teams were given three yellow cards in the game as a cau-tion to Arlet Polack, Chelsie Wood and Gabriella Hernandez of North-western and Sarah Talcott, Kristyn Otter and Meaghan Pasbrig of UNK.

With the Lady Rangers 0-3 for the season, they will play another home game against Newman on Sunday, Sept. 15, at 1 p.m. They will then face Northeastern State – ranked number 3 in the MIAA – on Thursday in Tahlequah at 7 p.m.
