The Weatherford Police Department has a fundraiser ongoing that will allow them to purchase new rifles for the department. The rifles are short-barreled tactical rifles that will give the officers a better tool to defend citizens and themselves from escalated threats. Tactile improvements have been made to these rifles in form and functionality. For example, in close-quarter situations, the 11 ½-inch barrels offer an increased range of mobility when entering/exiting vehicles and when moving through tight corridors inside buildings The goal of the fundraiser is to raise $62,000 which

will pay for the guns, ammo, and training. All of the rifles will be owned through the department in order to keep the equipment sets uniform and interchangeable. Additionally, the rifles will increase the effectiveness of recruitment tools used to procure young talent. Small-town police departments may not be able to compete with big city departments in terms of pay, but they can offer a stable job with top-of-the-line equipment and reputable experience. These are invaluable tools to new recruits and seasoned vets. These rifles are powerful tools for the officers and they

will be treated as such. Irresponsible use of the rifles will not be tolerated. To ensure safe use of the rifles all officers will be required to undergo a two-day training regimen for the firearms and will have to take an annual proficiency exam to remain certified. The Weatherford Police Department takes all aspects of their job seriously, and they will continue to operate at a high professional level. If you would like to donate to the fundraiser, you

can make checks payable to the Weatherford Police Department and either drop them off at the station or have Debbie or an officer come pick it up. Over half of the money for the fundraiser has already been raised, and the WPD would like to thank Debbie Shepard for taking on this big project on her own. She’s truly remarkable and they appreciate all of her hard work.

Carolyn and her older sister, Dale, grew up in a large farmhouse on land outside of Sandy Spring, Maryland where Alan, her father, was a prominent banker. After high school, Carolyn’s theater skills and acting dreams took her to New York City where she landed roles in off-Broadway productions. To make ends meet, she worked for NBC’s Project 21 show answering letters.One of the Project 21 viewers was Richard Ellis of

Oklahoma City. Something in his writing caught her interest and she began corresponding with him regularly. Eventually she moved to Oklahoma and they were married. Steven Michael and Margo Evelyn came along after a couple of years. During this time Carolyn worked as a newspaper proofreader at the Daily Oklahoman, and the now-defunct Oklahoma City Times, an afternoon paper.

Aside from Steve & Margo, softball and fishing were her main interests. She played in softball leagues spring through fall.While living at Woodland Way she made a massive career

change and went to work for the government at Tinker Air Force Base, performing maintenance on the KC-135 airborne refueling tankers. She said her small size allowed her to get into spaces the men on the job couldn’t reach. Still active in sports, she participated in volleyball, softball, and ping pong.Visiting the Office Lounge on 10th Street near her home,

Carolyn met Allen Goucher, a down-to-earth man from Weatherford, OK. The two clicked and were married March 17th, 1995. Carolyn moved to Weatherford and the Woodland Way house is now a rental. Carolyn is survived by her husband Allen of the home;

two sons: Steve Ellis and his wife Susan, of Euliss, TX; Randy Goucher and his wife Debbie, of Elk City, OK; two daughters: Margo Volot and Rhonda Weil and her husband Dwain, of Clinton, OK; one sister Dale Trott of Minnesota; seven grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

"The Coin Guy"

On November 24, 1971 a hijacker named D.B. Copper, who said he had a bomb, commandeered a Northwest Airliner between Seattle and Portland, Oregon. After refueling in Seattle and the delivering of his ransom ($200,000) the aircraft took off again. S o m e w h e r e b e t we e n

Reno, Nevada and Seattle, Oregon D.B. Cooper with his parachute, and the ransom money, bailed out.Brian Ingram, now 40 years

old, was on vacation with his family in 1980 camping by the Columbia River, found bundles of deteriorating currency in Vancouver, Washington. The family turned the currency over to the FBI in 1980 who returned the currency to the Ingram family except 14 notes to be kept as evidence.The above 1963A $20 note is a survivor of the $200,000

ransom paid to Cooper in 1971. This note was on display at the recent Florida United Numismatics convention from January 4 to 7. It was certified by Professional Currency Grading Service (PCGS). While PCGS was handling the notes, 35 different serial

numbers were found that were not previously identified by the FBI. A currency collector has been buying the notes from the

Ingram family for 5 years. He bought one from another dealer and posted it to his website. Brian Ingram’s father called the collector and inquired if he wanted to buy more notes.The above pictured example of the ransom note was sold

at auction in 2014 for $4,000. If anyone needs help with a coin or currency collection,

please call 405-222-8718. Thanks for reading.

Gov. Fallin Welcomes News of Google Expansion at Oklahoma Data Center

Governor Mary Fallin said the decision by Google to invest an additional $600 million at its data center near Pryor in Mayes County is an indication of Oklahoma’s strong pro-business environment.The announcement by Google will br ing the

technology company’s total investment in Oklahoma to more than $2.5 billion. The Google campus at the Mid-America Industrial Park near Pryor employs more than 400, and is Google’s second-largest data center in the world.As part of the additional investment, Google will add

another four-story data center to increase efficiency of its land usage and data center operations. The Mayes County data center opened in 2011, and its continued growth on Google’s campus has supported thousands of local construction jobs.“Google’s $2.5 billion investment in Mayes County

represents a major economic win,” said Fallin. “It further emphasizes that our pro-business environment helps Oklahoma attract and retain some of the best companies in the world.”

Oklahoma offers a low cost of business. It has the lowest tax burden in the country, and its energy rates are about 24 percent lower than the national average.“Google continues to be a valuable partner in our state

by reinvesting in the community,” Fallin said. “It has donated more than $2 million in STEM grants and tech programs, which is another reason I’m pleased Google has chosen to grow in Oklahoma.”In 2016, Google announced an expansion to its campus

at the Mid-America Industrial Park, which included a new four-story data center. Since then, Google has grown by many hundreds of thousands of square feet.“Oklahoma has proven to be an important home for

Google since opening our data center operations here in 2011,” said Andrew Silvestri, head of external affairs for Google in Oklahoma. “We’ve been able to accelerate our growth here in part due to the incredible support from our Mayes County partners and the state of Oklahoma. We look forward to continuing our success in Oklahoma.”

With 70 degree temperatures for two days, it feels like spring is in the air. Spring training baseball has arrived with every club talking about how they have improved (with the exception of the Marlins) and ready to compete this year. Watching the winter Olympics reminds us that we still have a few more weeks of winter to deal with. One thing both groups have in common is the desire to win. No one

comes just to be in the show. They have pushed themselves to the limit in training with the hopes that their body will respond with championship caliber performance. Of course, everybody can’t get a gold medal or a championship ring but at least that is the goal. The Apostle Paul must have been somewhat of a sports fan because of

his many references to athletic events. In 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 he writes, “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.”Paul was quick to point out that earthly prizes will not last. I well

remember playing on the Sweetwater baseball team that defeated Sayre for the district championship in 1954. But that trophy has long been cast aside. However, any spiritual victories we win will have eternal significance. It has been said that the only thing we can take to heaven with us are the lives we have touched for the Kingdom.Paul challenged the church to “run in such a way as to get the prize.”

He said he kept his body under control—he was master of his body so as to not be disqualified. He was running to win, not just to play the game. The question we must ask is “Am I running to win the prize” or am I just

happy to play the Christian game—to get my ticket to heaven. I’m afraid our churches are filled with people who are happy to just show up, enjoy the fellowship, hear a sermon that doesn’t make them too uncomfortable, and feel like they’ve done God a favor with their presence. Little thought is given to bearing a cross, sacrificial service and giving, or living a lifestyle of surrender that takes them out of their comfort zone. There is a familiar saying that goes, “Without pain there is no gain.” This

is true not only in two- a- day football workouts in the heat of August but also in the spiritual life. The apostle talked about not only the physical sufferings he endured but going without sleep, knowing hunger and thirst, being cold and naked, plus the pressure of constant concern for the churches he started. To win in the Spiritual Race of life, we may be called to do things that

are not pleasant; stepping out in faith to do something you don’t really like to do, like reading a book, giving up that luxury house or car, sleeping on a wooden church pew while on a mission trip in order to invest in the lives of others for the sake of the Kingdom.

Higher Ground Running to win

The Son of a Cotton Farmer

These are the words of my late Uncle Tippy Lassiter by Maxine McCulloughThe day for school to start finally arrived and my older

brother and sister were anxious to get to school, but I was very apprehensive when I was told that Papa would not stay at school with me. However the feel and smell of my new shoes and overalls motivated me into following Papa as we walked one and a half miles to school. Arriving early I was surprised to see so many kids and

grown people, the teachers that I didn't know, and knowing I was to be left alone with them I began to cry. Most of my 6 years had been spent at home with no one

but my family, as we would only go to town on Saturday to buy groceries and maybe once a month to an Oddfellows and Rebecca Lodge supper in town. By the time supper was over it was always late and Papa and Mama would gather the kids together and have us kids crawl up in the wagon, lay down on some quilts and somehow managed to go to sleep as we listened to Papa yell “giddup Pat, giddup Mike.” Being able to sleep made the hour ride home in the creaky, bumpy wagon seem only a few minutes. Well Papa took me crying into the first grade room to

meet my teacher, Mrs. Helen Tracy. She was a wonderful, sympathetic, understanding lady and as Papa left she did her best to comfort me. While I sat beside her desk, crying and snubbing with fright, Mrs. Tracy walked away and I jumped and ran out of the school house and started home. I could see Papa about a half a mile ahead of me so I stayed

behind until we reached home. Papa and Mama were so understanding and patient I was allowed to stay home for the rest of the day. By Tuesday morning, I had forgotten the fright and misery

I suffered the first day of school so I was ready to dress in my new overalls and go to school. This day Papa left me with Harold, my brother who was instructed to take me to my room. When the bell rang to Harold's disgust I held on to him and went into his room and sat at his desk until Mrs. Tracy came to get me. She allowed me to sit by her desk, and tried to console me

until recess. A light rain was falling as we went outside to play and I spent all recess time looking for Harold. To this day I 'm sure he saw me but made sure I didn't find him and then he went to his room, leaving me the only kid outside. By then I was so filled with fear and embarrassment I just sat down outside the building and stayed there until noon while the rain soaked me from head to foot. Harold was so disgusted he sent me home. Wednesday we followed the same routine in reaching the

schoolhouse but by then I began to gain some confidence through the compassion and patience Mrs. Tracy bestowed upon me, and the friendliness from the other kids, so I stayed in my room at my desk all day. I was very proud. By the next two days, Thursday and Friday, I began to

enjoy school as I realized the world was not coming to an end and by Friday evening I was a regular seasoned student. From then on school was a very enjoyable time for me. To Be Continued

Volunteers “Share the Love” to help hungry Oklahomans

Employees from Love's Travel Stops once again joined the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma in the fight against hunger through their annual “Share the Love” event. In total, more than 200 employees volunteered their time to ensure Oklahomans would have enough to eat this spring by packing and sorting donations at the Regional Food Bank and stocking food shelves at the Moore Food & Resource, which is owned and operated by the Regional Food Bank. In total, volunteers packed and stocked enough food to provide the equivalent of more than 21,000 meals for Oklahomans with inconsistent access to healthy food.“Our annual Share the Love event is one way we

encourage community involvement,” said Jenny Love Meyer, vice president of communications for Love’s. “We

love supporting the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma because they touch so many lives in our state. We’re grateful for the work they do and we’re proud to partner with them in this way.” ““Share the Love” began in 2014 as a way to commemorate

Love’s 50th anniversary. Love’s corporate employees spent Valentine’s Day – a day reserved for love – volunteering at the Regional Food Bank. Love’s started the volunteer day as a way to say thank you to the community that is home to its corporate headquarters in Oklahoma City.“We are grateful for the continued support from Love’s

and their employees,” said Katie Fitzgerald, chief executive officer of the Regional Food Bank. “Since May 2013, Love’s employees have donated $181,400 and 2,812 pounds of food, along with 2,936 volunteer hours. Together, this translates to 1,011,443 meals provided to Oklahomans with inconsistent access to food. Thank you for your generosity.”One in six Oklahomans lives with hunger. Most of the

people served by the Regional Food Bank are seniors on fixed incomes, chronically hungry children and hardworking families. The Regional Food Bank is the largest hunger-relief organization in the state of Oklahoma. Last fiscal year, the nonprofit distributed more than 52 million pounds of food and products through a network of more than 1,300 charitable feeding programs and schools in 53 central and western Oklahoma counties.Together, we can end hunger. The Regional Food Bank

needs volunteers year-round to sort and pack donations. For more information visit regionalfoodbank.org/volunteer or call 405-600-3161.

ProvidedSWOSU junior Sawyer Toole hits a 2-RBI single to beat Arkansas Tech 8-5.

Local schools to compete in basketball playoffsThe postseason is in full swing for high school basketball,

but unfortunately, it has already ended for a good number of area teams. Weatherford and Clinton opened the postseason with a district game on Friday night, while Corn Bible Academy, Hydro-Eakly and Thomas all played in regionals over the past week.Weatherford is the only school with teams still on the

winners' bracket, as both the Eagle boys and girls won their respective district games over Bethany on Friday. The Eagle boys posted a 58-52 win over Bethany, avenging a 20-point loss in December to the Bronchos. It also marks just the second win for Weatherford over a ranked team this season as the Eagles improve to 10-13. The Eagle girls are 16-7 after rolling by Bethany for a third time this season, 58-28. The Eagle teams head to Cushing for regional sub-site play on Thursday, with the boys facing McLain and the girls taking on Cushing. Both Eagle teams will also play

at least one game in Harrah on either Friday or Saturday at the regional main site.Clinton dropped both of its district games on Friday.

The Lady Reds lost to Anadarko 54-24 to drop to 6-18 on the season. The boys lost 56-47 and move to 12-12. Both Clinton teams return to Anadarko on Thursday for regional consolation games, facing Chickasha on both brackets. If Clinton wins in either game, the Red Tornadoes will play on Friday in Anadarko once again.Thomas is the only other school with a team still moving

on in the basketball postseason. The Lady Terriers finished as regional runner-ups in Bridge Creek with a 50-33 loss to Okarche on Saturday. Thomas topped Tipton on Thursday 46-41 in the regional semifinals. Thomas will play in an elimination game in the Class A Area 3 tournament on Thursday, facing Central Marlow at the Pioneer Cellular Event Center in Weatherford.Hydro-Eakly had both of its seasons end on Friday night in

regional consolation semifinal action in Class A at Konawa. The Hydro-Eakly girls finish the season at 20-8, dropping their regional semifinal to Cyril 45-41, and then falling in the regional consolation semifinal to New Lima 69-59. The Bobcat boys end the season at 11-17 following a regional consolation first round win over Maysville 73-59, but then a consolation semifinal loss to New Lima 66-47.Corn Bible Academy had its seasons end as part of the

Class B Mountain View-Gotebo regional. The CBA boys finish the year at 2-19 after a regional consolation first round loss to Gracemont, 81-52. The CBA girls won their regional consolation opener over Gracemont 65-46, but then fell to regional host Mountain View-Gotebo in the consolation semifinals 48-26 to end their season at 5-20.High school wrestling wraps up its season this weekend,

with Weatherford and Clinton sending wrestlers to the Class 4A state tournament at the State Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City.

SWOSU Baseball took the third and final game of the GAC series 8-5 over Arkansas Tech on Sunday to claim the 2-1 series victory over the Wonder Boys. The win moves the Bulldogs to an even 5-5 on the year, but more importantly puts an opening series victory under their belt.The offense got going in the second inning courtesy of a

Rogelio Sanchez home run in his first start of the season at first base. Brooks Benson singled to start the inning before Sanchez stepped up next and drove a ball over the scoreboard in left field to get SWOSU on the board with a two-RBI bomb.The Dawgs would tack on single runs in both the third and

fourth innings and led 4-2 after four complete. Tech knotted the game back up at 4-4 in the fifth with two runs on four hits in the frame, forcing Gabe Jacobo to relieve SWOSU starter Cooper Cantwell from the mound. Jacobo came in with one out and runners on first and second and held the Wonder Boys to no more runs.The game remained tied until the seventh inning, when the

SWOSU bats again came through in the clutch. The Dawgs got two runners on to start the inning following a Daniel Richardson single and a Marion McClean walk, and were then sacrifice bunted over into scoring position by Bryan Miranda. With one out, runners in scoring position and the Arkansas Tech infield playing in for a potential play at the plate, Sawyer Toole delivered a two-RBI single through the left side of the infield to give SWOSU the lead.Later in the inning with two outs, Benson added another

run with a line drive up the middle that plated Toole for the third and final run of the frame. Tech would get a run back in their half of the eighth inning, but it was SWOSU who led 7-5 headed to the ninth inning.SWOSU benefitted from a stroke of luck on defense in

that eighth inning, as Tech's pinch hitter Shane Pollard lined a ball to deep left center field with a runner on first and sprinting hard around the bases. The ball bounced over the fence for a ground-rule double, halting the baserunner from

first at third and denying his easy route home while also holding Pollard at second when he could have had a triple.Brendan Peitsmeyer was then called on to relieve Jacobo

with two outs and the senior did his job by getting the final out and stranding the game-tying run on second base.After another insurance run was added in the ninth inning,

Peitsmeyer came back in and collected his first save of the year and again held the Wonder Boys to no runs.Five Bulldog hitters had a multi-hit game on Sunday, led by

Benson with a 3-for-4 day while Miranda, Pimentel, Toole,

and Sanchez all had two hits themselves. Cantwell got the start and pitched into the fifth inning before being taken out and his final line finished with four runs allowed (all earned) and one strikeout. Jacobo (W, 1-1) pitched 3.1 innings, allowing a pair of hits and just one run before passing the ball to Peitsmeyer who pitched the final 1.1 innings.Up next for the Dawgs (5-5, 2-1 GAC) will be a midweek

non-conference affair with Central Oklahoma on Wednesday (Feb. 21) before returning to Weatherford for another GAC series against Harding over the weekend.

STATE QUESTION 788 TO BE VOTED ON IN JUNE- Custer County Sheriff Kenneth Tidwell weighs in on the state question surrounding legalization of medical marijuana that is set for a statewide vote in June. Sheriff Tidwell said State Question 788 is not backed by medical marijuana proponents, but instead by recreational users.“The people that are in possession of marijuana who

don’t have a medical marijuana card can simply just say I

have a condition like glaucoma and they can only be fined $400,” Tidwell said.Sheriff Tidwell encourages voters to do their research on

THC vs. CBD and the health benefits and drawbacks of smoking marijuana vs. taking CBD oil, and decide on the sincerity of those behind the push of the state question.

FACILITY TO BE RELOCATED- Red Rock Behavioral Health Services has signed a contract on 9.5 acres of land in the Weatherford Business and Technology Park with the intent to build a modern new facility of approximately 22,000 square feet. The facility will offer a wide array of behavioral health services for adults and youth. Red Rock officials said it is the intent that all services in Clinton be relocated to the new Weatherford facility. Red Rock Chief Executive Officer Verna Nichols Foust said several reasons played a role for the relocation including a better distribution of services across western Oklahoma. Red Rock currently has other locations in Elk City and

El Reno. The project is anticipated for completion by the summer of 2019. A Red Rock location in Weatherford would bring about 70-80 jobs with a total payroll of approximately $2.4 million.

2018-19 WPS SCHOOL PLANNED- The Weatherford Board of Education adopted the 2018-19 school calendars at a recent board meeting. Superintendent Chad Wilson said next year's calendar is similar to this year's.“Fall break, Christmas break, and spring break are all

aligned with Southwestern, Western Technology Center and most of the schools in this area. The biggest difference this year and next year is we are moving second semester parent/teacher conferences back to the week before spring break,” said Superintendent Wilson. Wilson says this year's spring parent teacher conferences

are scheduled for the week after spring break to allow the district to have no school on Good Friday.

BONUS APPROVED FOR CERTIFIED PERSONNEL- The Clinton School Board of Education approved a one-time retention stipend, paid in August, for certified personnel working in a certified position said Superintendent Kevin Hime.“They voted to give a $500 retention bonus to all the

appreciation of its district teachers.

NEW BUSINESS PARK TO BE BUILT- Weatherford Economic Development Director Chuck Dougherty said the Weatherford Industrial trust has closed on 70 acres, just north of the existing industrial park, for a new business park. “Our next step will be to try to apply for our EDA

grant to start developing that land and developing that infrastructure and get the next business park rolling. There will be lots available to sell,” Dougherty said.Dougherty says the EDA grant allows for development

at a cost that makes it attractive to those who want to put a business in Weatherford.

Beauregard and Sanchez garner Bulldogs of the Week

SWOSU Basketball and Baseball are represented this week as Charles Beauregard, Jr. and Rogelio Sanchez both get the nod for Bulldogs of the Week. The award is brought to you by Wright Wradio, the home of SWOSU Athletics over the radio on both 95.5 and 100.3 'The Coyote' and 'Coyote Classic.'Beauregard (Dallas, Texas) averaged 33.5 points last week

in two games for men's hoops, which included a 40-point performance in an 83-77 win at East Central on Saturday. The junior guard began the week with a team high 27 points against Southeastern in a loss, but helped SWOSU finish the week strong by tallying his second 40-point game of the season against the Tigers on an efficient 15-of-24 (62.5%) from the field overall and 4-of-8 from beyond the arc.

WEATHERFORD VOTES FOR NEW SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER- There's a new member of the Weatherford school board of education. Chris Gregston knocked off incumbent Michelle Stephens in the annual school board race. Gregston got nearly 74% of the vote.“I’m kind of overwhelmed to be honest. It truly gives me

maybe a perspective of how important this is to the people and to represent them,” said Gregston.

ELK CITY VOTES AGAINST PROPOSTIONS- Two propositions in the Elk City School district failed. Proposition 1 for a new ag barn and boys and girls athletic training facility failed by about 58%. A bond for transportation needs also failed by about 55%. Superintendent Rick Garrison reacts to the bonds failing.“Sometimes your victorious and you have to respect

the process. I respect our community and our people and that's not the direction they wanted to go and so we'll move forward.”

HALF CENT SALES TAX TO BE VOTED ON IN APRIL- The President of Oklahoma Political Strategies spoke to the Weatherford Economic Development Foundation about the upcoming Lyle Road sales tax campaign. Brent Wilcox said research shows there are only about 2,120 active voters in the city of Weatherford. “This 2,120 that are still active and have voted in

municipal elections are the ones that, I believe, should be targeted for the vote April 3rd. That 2,120 people live in 1,400 households so those 1,400 households are the ones that we want to try to get to the polls on April 3rd," Wilcox said.Voters will decide on the 1/2 cent sales tax question in

April after the measure was defeated last fall.

CAMPAIGN TO RAISE FUNDS FOR MUSEUM- The Director of The Stafford Air and Space Museum provided an update on the legacy campaign during a meeting with the Weatherford Economic Development Foundation. Max Ary said $1.8 million have already been pledged. Ary said the $3 million campaign will result in the addition of 18,000 square feet to the west side of the museum. “We'd love to dedicate the shell of the building in May

of 2019. The reason for that is that is the 50th anniversary of Apollo 10 when Tom flew to the moon so what a better day to ribbon cut on. Most of the exhibits won't be done; just primarily the shell of the building which means to meet that we've got to be turning dirt in May of this year. Which means we've got to have our 3 million dollars raised by April of 2018,” Ary said.

FOOD DRIVE HELD AT SWOSU- A non-perishable food drive is being conducted through March 13th by the Nurses Christian Fellowship at Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford. Boxes are set up in Parker Hall on the SWOSU campus. All items will be donated to the Weatherford Food and Resource Center.

victory snapped the Bulldogs' 14 game losing streak and gives them momentum headed into a rivalry matchup with Northwestern on Monday (Feb. 19).Sanchez (Mexico) made the most of his first start of the

season at first base for the baseball team, collecting a pair of hits including a home run in SWOSU's series finale against Arkansas Tech on Sunday afternoon. In the senior slugger's first at-bat of the game, he drove a ball over the scoreboard in left field for a two-run home run which gave the Bulldogs an early 2-0 lead. Later in the game, Sanchez lined a ball right back up the middle of the field to leadoff an inning and later would come around to score. He finished 2-for-5 in the game and helped SWOSU win the final game of the series 8-5 and earn the always important GAC series victory 2-1.
