I want to start off with my favorite story of the week. It concerns an elderly woman who became a bit confused at the grocery store recently. She writes the following . . .

“There was a bit of confusion at the supermarket this morn-ing. When I was ready to pay for my groceries, the cashier said, “Strip down facing me.”

“Making a mental note to complain to my congressman about Homeland Security running amok, I did just as she had instructed.

“When the hysterical shrieking and security alarms fi nally subsided, I found out she was referring to my credit card.”

She has been asked to shop elsewhere in the future.—CC—

And then there is my favorite riddle of the week . . .The Queen’s Riddle

Barack Obama met with the Queen of England. He asked her, “Your Majesty, how do you run such an effi cient government? Are there any tips you can give me?”

“Well,” said the Queen, “The most important thing is to sur-round yourself with intelligent people.”

Obama frowned, and then asked, “But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?”

The Queen took a sip of tea and replied, “Oh, that’s easy: You just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle.” The Queen then pushed a button on her intercom and said, “Please send Tony Blair in here.”

Tony Blair walked into the room and said, “Yes, Your Maj-esty?” The Queen smiled and said, “Answer me this please, Tony. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?

Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answered, “That would be me.” “Yes! Very good,” said the Queen.

Obama went back home to ask Joe Biden, his Vice President, the same question. “Joe, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child. It’s not your brother and it’s not your sister. Who is it?” “I’m not sure,” said Biden. “Let me get back to you on that one.” He went to his advisors and asked every one, but none could give him an answer.

Finally, Biden ran in to Sarah Palin while eating out one night. Biden asked, “Sarah, can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it’s not your brother or your sister. Who is it?”

Sarah Palin answered right back, “That’s easy, it’s me!” Biden smiled and said, “Thanks!” Then he went back to speak with Obama. “Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It’s Sarah Palin.”

Obama got up, stomped over to Biden, and angrily yelled into his face, “No, you idiot! It’s Tony Blair!”

And that is precisely what is going on at the White House. —CC—

Texting . . . I do not do it at all and my children do not stop doing it. They may be better informed but, according to one story, I am much safer.

A few years ago, people walking on a college campus while using a cell phone were asked whether they’d just seen “anything unusual.” Only 8 percent said yes. But Western Washington University researchers had indeed planted an unusual passerby: a unicycle-riding clown in a purple and yellow outfi t.

In a new survey, Consumer Reports found that 85 percent of Americans had in the past six months seen someone use a mobile device to talk, text, e-mail, or use apps while walking in public.

Jearl Knighten and Linda Rine-hart were married August 1, 1962

in Gainesville, Texas. The couple traveled to Texas to wed because Jearl was too young to marry in Oklahoma. He was 17 and Linda was just four days past her 16th

birthday. Lifelong residents of the Allen

area, they have been members of the Allen First Baptist Church for the past 38 years. Jearl serves as a deacon for their church and Linda is the head of the Prayer Ministry. Both are active in the community.

Jearl worked for the City of Ada for 34 years, retiring just over three years ago, and Linda has held various jobs in both Ada and Allen.

They are the parents of two children, Brian Knighten and his wife, Jeree, and Tammy Lawler and husband, Mike, and they are grandparents of three, Jared Knighten, and Kayla and Lauren Lawler, all of Allen.

Their family and friends would like to wish them a very Happy 50th Anniversary!

Of those who had witnessed such behavior, 52 percent felt that the pedestrians endangered themselves or others.

It’s clear that drivers aren’t the only people distracted by devices. Numbers are hard to pin down, but research us-ing federal data as part of an Ohio State University gradu-ate-student project estimated that 1,506 “nonmotorized” people—mostly pedestrians—were hurt nationwide in 2010 while distracted by cell phones, an increase of about 186 cases per year between 2004 and 2010. Reports for 2009 and 2010 show that most injuries occurred while the pedestrian was talking, followed by reach-ing for the phone, then texting. It’s no surprise that some cities are starting to crack down on distracted walkers.

What our survey said. Of Americans who saw at least one pedestrian using a phone, 42 percent saw someone bump into a person or object or walk in front of a moving bicycle; 34 percent saw someone step in front of a moving vehicle. “Everyone knows to look left and right,” says Ryan Stanton, a spokesman for the Ameri-can College of Emergency Physicians, “but when you’re texting, you forget the rules of survival.”

Stanton, also an emergency doctor, cites a patient who walked into a street sign (head laceration) and another who hit a fire hydrant (serious shin cut), plus “countless twisted ankles” in cell-phone users who have stepped off an un-noticed curb.

Northeasterners were more likely than others to have seen a pedestrian using a mo-bile device—92 percent had. Among Northeasterners who witnessed such behavior, 42 percent saw someone walk in front of a moving vehicle, compared with just 27 percent of Midwesterners. People over 55 were far more likely to consider the practice a haz-ard than those 18 to 34. But similar percentages of men and women called distracted walking dangerous.

Bottom line. If you must walk and talk or text, act like a driver and pull over into a quiet area. “At any point if you’re moving, you need to have your head up,” Stanton says. “If you need to text, just stop for 5 seconds, make your text, and that way you won’t worry about traffic, fire hydrants, and manhole covers. Whatever your hurry, it’s not worth end-ing up in the hospital.”

Need more evidence of risk? Researchers at Stony Brook University found that phone-using walkers had “significant reductions in gait velocity” and an “increase in lateral de-viation.” In other words, they walked like snails and zig-zagged toward their destina-tion. That news was announced in January—a few months before a California man nearly walked and texted his way into the arms of a black bear.

The end of the WWI era hap-pened a few months ago with the death of Florence Green in a nursing home in eastern England. She was two weeks shy of her 111th birthday. The particulars of Mrs. Green’s very long life are not notable in themselves. She was born Florence Patterson in Lon-don, a month after the death of Queen Victoria. During her childhood the Patterson family moved to King’s Lynn, Norfolk, where she spent the next hundred years. She mar-ried a railway worker, Walter Green, in 1920, with whom she had two daughters and a son.

These simple annals of Flor-ence Green’s existence would have undoubtedly passed into oblivion had it not been discov-ered, just a few years ago, that she had in fact served in the First World War – making her since last year, the final living veteran of that conflict. Two months before the Armistice, at age 17, she enlisted in the women’s auxiliary of the royal Air Force, where she served as a steward in the officers’ mess at two bases near her home in Norfolk.

“It was very pleasant, and they were lovely,” she remem-

bered. “Not a bit of bother.” Indeed, she “met dozens of pilots and would go on dates.” When they asked if she wished to take a ride in one of the air-craft, though, Miss Patterson declined: She was afraid to fly.

It is impossible to say with absolute certainty that Mrs. Green was the last uniformed survivor of a conflict that in-volved tens of millions. And of course, the carnage and destruction of the Great War affected many millions of civilians throughout Europe, the Middle East, and North

Jessy Beasley and Daniel Harris, both of Ada, will exchange wedding vows Sunday, July 29th, at the Thunderbird Chapel in Norman; Terry Taylor will officiate.

The bride-elect is the daughter of Gena Beasley and the late Kenneth Beasley. She is a 2009 graduate of Calvin High School and is currently attending ECU with a major in Early Childhood Education.

The prospective groom is the son of Tim and Gabbie Harris. He graduated from Calvin High School in 2006 and from OSU in 2010 with a business management degree.

America, some of whom are undoubtedly still alive. A child whose town was shelled or whose father was killed may fairly be described as a survi-vor of the war.

Nevertheless, with Florence Green, the British flag will cover her coffin, an official chapter will close, and her burial will sever a least thread to “the war to end all wars” from which so many subse-quent conflicts arose. Time is relentless: World War I ended 93 years ago, World War II 66 years ago; even the Vietnam war ended nearly 40 years ago.

But the passage of times does not lessen our appreciation for those – including Florence Pat-terson, who served their nation in a just cause.

— The Weekly Standard—CC—

And finally, overheard at church Sunday, a local pas-tor was approached after the Sunday morning service by an elderly lady who said in a tone of appreciation, “Pastor, you will never know what your sermon meant to me. It was just like water to a drowning man.”

by Cleo Emerson LeVally After graduating from high

school in Allen, I wanted to attend college but knew that it would be a hard go, as the country was just recovering from the depression years and finances were difficult. I had received a small scholarship to O.U. and a job placement offer through the student aide program but after one day of orientation on the campus of O.U. and a look at the housing and other things involved for me to attend college, I realized this help was not adequate and my dreams of college were over for the time being. I then entered a job-training program to train young people for work in what was then called The War Industry.

This was in 1941 and as there was a shortage of labor and civilian employees to carry on the work, our government had to try new resources to get trained persons for the job

markets and for the stepped up industry in the country. I enrolled in a civilian training program and learned to repair radios and communication equipment; also learned the Morse code. This was nec-essary in order to test radio equipment used on aircraft. I started the basic training at Wewoka and graduated from the school at Tonkawa. After completing the training pro-gram and receiving my radio license, I was interviewed and accepted as a civilian govern-ment employee in the Signal Corps at Tinker Field.

A large group from the school was then put in the back of a truck that had a tarp covering the bed and we were taken to Oklahoma City and put out at a armory on 23rd street. We then had to go and hunt for housing. None of us had any money. A

friend and I had agreed to look for housing and live together. We found a room and then we went to a finance company to borrow enough money to live until we got a first paycheck.

The finance company wanted proof that I did have a job be-fore they would advance me the $65 that I needed to pay my rent and live until I could get paid. They asked me to fill out a form and take it to my employer for verification that I was indeed employed.

I had not yet reported for work and in truth did not know who my supervisor would be. So I took a bus out to Tinker Field and went to the office of the commander of the air base. The receptionist did not ask me what my business with him was and I was asked to wait. I

eventually was sent in to his of-fice. When I stated my reason for coming and presented the form to him for signature, he began to shake his head. He then told me he certainly did not want me to get mixed up in that sort of thing with the finance company; that they would charge me a very high rate of interest and I would pay too much for the privilege of borrowing. He offered to advance me the $65, which I accepted. Remember, this was the COMMANDER of Tinker Air Force Base

While I worked at Tinker Field, I saw him from time to time. He always spoke to me and visited awhile. I suppose because of my audacity of go-ing to the Commander of the Air Base with the request that

I had, I was not a person to be forgotten.

My starting annual rate of pay at the Air Base was $3995 in a year when females were working for $1 per day clerk-ing in stores. Room and board in some rooming houses was $5 per week. I worked in that job until March of 1943, got used to working the different shifts, living in a boarding house and enjoyed living in Oklahoma City. I had only been in Oklahoma City about three times in my life to this point. Once was on our senior trip, one time on a 4-H trip and another time to visit a relative in the hospital. It was fun to ride the bus around town, visit the zoo and just window shop when all of the big department stores were there. I especially enjoyed Katz Drug and the beautiful theatres. It was a time for a small town girl to begin to grow up.

Mary Frances Anderson passed away on Friday, July 20, 2012, at Heritage Village Nursing Home in Holdenville, Oklahoma, at the age of 83 years.

Frances was born December 27, 1928, in Calvin, Oklahoma, one of seven children born to Lee Roy and Nell (Paulson) Maxwell. She was brought up and went to school in Calvin, Oklahoma, and was a graduate of Calvin High School. She married R. L. Anderson on May 14, 1949. Together they raised four children: Linda, Roy, Gary, and Cathy.

Frances worked for the C. R. Anthony Company for 28 years. She was an avid bowler and loved to water ski in her younger years. She enjoyed reading, and watch-ing “All My Children”. She loved to go and hear live mu-

sic, and had many friends at the Stuart and Calvin Opry. She loved her grandchildren: Greg, Stephanie, Leslie, Paul, Tina, Andy, and Sunni. They knew her as ‘Nanny’.

She was very proud of her great grandchildren, and talked about them all the time: Lau-ren, Natalie, Emily, Reagan, Marin, Cooper, Alexis, Mat-thew, Joshua, and Brandon. She is preceded in death by her parents, Lee Roy and Nell Maxwell; her son, Gary An-derson, in 1977 and her daugh-ter, Cathy, in 2009; brothers Lenville Maxwell and Charles Maxwell, and sister Cleva Wise.

She is survived by her be-loved husband of 63 years, R. L. Anderson; two children, Roy Anderson and wife Diana

of Mississippi, and Linda An-derson of California; seven grandchildren and ten great grandchildren; three sisters: Maxine Reid, Jo Ann Mont-gomery, and Sue Chapman; various other relatives, and many friends.

Funeral services were Tuesday, July 24th, 10:00 a.m. at Fisher Funeral Home’s Lil-lye Chapel, and Frances was laid to rest in the Calvin Cem-etery at Calvin, Oklahoma. Rev. Dane Robinson was the officiating minister. Pallbear-ers were Andy Anderson, Greg Owens, Paul Heffley, Keith Jennings, Steev Vasquez, and Tony Morrow.

Good news! Michael Hoop-er, the guy on death row at McAlester who is suing the state over his impending ex-ecution can now relax. The State received 20 more doses of the “medication” they will use to put him to sleep. Hoop-er and his lawyer have been concerned and even sued the state over the pain he may feel when he’s executed August 14th. There was only one dose of pentobarbital left (the drug that puts him to sleep before we kill him) and up to now the state had no extra doses. Hooper was fearful (so he said) that if the dose failed he could suffer pain and suffering as the killing drugs worked on him. Like I said — not to worry — we have plenty.

Actually I feel that those put to death by the state should be “killed” humanely but I can’t help but recall that this monster/felon shot a 23 year old woman through the head twice and then shot each of her two young children also twice in the head. Perhaps if the state continues to have a problem executing people of this sort — convicted murder-ers — they should consider new laws allowing the state

to hire veterinarians to put these people down. In fact as I think about it, it would be somehow appropriate. But we have more important things to worry about than how to kill this guy.

Those of us who worry more about expensive repairs to our lawn mowers due to ethanol-in-your gas damage may be less dismayed by Michael Hooper’s impending death than our gas/ethanol problems. The government is soon to take away our ability to buy 100% gasoline. However, it seems that the 10% ethanol/gas mixture is hard on small engines and older cars. My car burns the mixture just fi ne (the mileage is a bit lower) but it’s pretty aggravating to be mow-ing and your mower conks out due to a government mandate that is wrong. To make things even worse the fuel mixture is going up to 15% ethanol soon. This may require people to buy new vehicles — another blow by a liberal government against poor people who may not be able to afford corn ethanol and its effects.

These laws were dreamed up when it was thought that most of the world’s oil resources

would soon be gone and we would be riding horses and drifting back to the stone ages. But sadly we now have more oil reserves than we can say grace over and there is no need to trouble the taxpayers with these expensive corn subsidies and foolish laws forcing an unwilling electorate to use this inferior and expensive fuel. Even more sadly, the corn/ethanol industry has become addicted to the ethanol subsi-dies while stockmen can’t af-ford to feed out their livestock on corn that has to compete with a highly subsidized corn/ethanol market. The taxpayers get to pay twice: Once when their taxes go to subsidize this ethanol and second when they have to pay higher prices for beef and pork. Oh, and need I remind you once more of the inferiority of ethanol in engines?

Enough of this complaining. I’m having a good week. My wife is home from her hospital stay in Tulsa and improving every day. Thanks for your prayers, cards and calls this week. We appreciate it. Have a good week and be sure and go to church this Sunday.

Wayne Bullard, [email protected]

One day the famous orator, Henry Ward Beecher, had to be absent and could not do the preaching. His brother was invited to speak for him. When it became evident that the eloquent Henry Ward Beecher was not going to speak, people started to leave. The brother was not disturbed. Before the murm ring crowd he ca led for silence and said, All who came to worship Henry Beech-er may leave now. The rest will remain to worship God.” People then, stopped leaving!

This story has been repeated again and again, but the point is still true. We must never forget that the church assembles to worship God. It is not about any man or the presentation of the sermon. Often people will visit various churches as they look for a “church home.” They seem to want one that pleases them! Have people lost all concern about fi nding the church that pleases God?

How do you judge a church, a sermon, or a worship service? Are we looking for a church with worship that pleases us and with teaching according to our beliefs? Must it entertain? Must the preacher stir us emo-tionally? Must it be exciting so it keeps us awake? Must the music be inspiring and have a fast paced tempo? Is the congregati n friendly to us? Shoul we xpect the worship and the spiritual teaching to cater to our enjoyment – or to be as God has commanded?

Isn’t worship about having a spirit of adoration, praise and thanksgiving toward God in our heart? Or, is it about the talent of the preacher, the sound of the music or special lighting effects? How can we worship God “in Spirit and in truth” (John 4:24) if our worship is done to please us; to entertain us or chosen and designed simply to be enjoy-able to us? Isn’t the church to belong to God and isn’t worship about giving praise, adoration and thanksgiving to God?

There are several things to report . . .

Gerald Dewayne Burnett took a plea and was given a Life Sentence for rape with all but the fi rst 25 years sus-pended.

Joe Stowe arrested for sec-ond and subsequent offense of Domestic Abuse.

Three Men arrested after traffi c stop for speeding:

Payton Barton of Sulpher ar-rested for Public Intoxication

Eric Yieves of Holdenville arrested for Public Intoxica-tion

Jay Johnson of Sulpher ar-rested for DUI, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and cited for his failure to carry a driver’s license.

We have several people re-sponding to the request to clean and mow your property and we have some that will be receiving bills for this service. Anyone who fails to pay this bill after we abate the property will have a lien placed on the property.

We are still getting numer-

ous calls of scams and bogus offers. If it sounds too good to be true please call us and let us check into it before you give away your hard earned money. I do not want our citizens to be taken by the scam artists target-ing this area. You guys have worked hard to have what you do and I don’t want these guys and girls taking it.

I regret to say that as most of you know we lost our beloved fl agpole again the other day. A driver wasn’t paying atten-tion and made a tight turn, knocking the pole down and doing considerable damage to his vehicle. I don’t know the future of the fl agpoles location but hope we can see it up and fl ying our colors proudly again soon.

I have received several re-quests for us to write reports for stolen medication. We do not do reports for stolen medi-cation. We are not the only department who refuses this type of report. The reasons we do this is because medications are so easily abused, they’re sold and traded. We hope that by not doing these reports that you will safeguard your medi-cations and help us stop those people who may be diverting these pharmaceuticals.

Last but not least, I hope you have a great and wonderful week! May God bless you and

yours and keep you safe both night and day!

Update from the Allen Police Department

The Allen Football League has just recently joined the OK 8 Youth Football League. We will be playing teams our school class size such as Weleetka, Wetumka, Dewar, Davenport, Midway and Strothers. We will be having 3 teams: 1st & 2nd fl ag football, 3rd & 4th football, 5th & 6th

football. Signups will be held Thursday (tonight), July 26th, at the

Allen football fi eld parking lot from 6pm – 8pm. Cost is $40 per child which provides each player with insurance, a jersey and uniform, and pays the game offi cials. If there is no way possible to be there, please call us. Contact: Greg Sanders 399-5853, Mike McCarn 320-0099.

Practice will start Monday, August 6th, at 6 p.m. at the practice fi eld. The fi rst game will be held August 18th so it is important to sign up now. We will play 3 games at home and 3 games away. Playoffs will be played at alter-nating sites. All games will be held on Saturdays which will allow more families to attend and will not interrupt students during their school week.

In previous years the league has played teams from larger towns and class size such as Ada, Konawa, and Coalgate. We believe the OK 8 Youth Football League will allow our children to compete with schools our own class size and level the playing fi eld. Let’s start our chil-dren in the same type of football program that our Junior High and High School are now playing. The purpose is to build confi dence and self esteem while learning and playing the game of football. Playing schools our same size will allow us to accomplish this goal.

July is nearly over and it’s too hot to try to do anything about it. The main thing still on the church calendar for this month is that we are continu-ing with Lone Pass, the video Bible study. It begins at 5:00 each Sunday evening.

James Hammonds, Tom Spillman, and Wyatt Deaton brought the special music this Sunday. It is a theme song for Christians everywhere: “Just a Closer Walk with Thee.”

Rev. Karch’s message was titled “Enemies Who Seek to Destroy” and was based in Psalms 56:1-13 and the 6th

chapter of Daniel. Whether we realize it or not,

people are constantly watching those who profess to be Chris-tians. Some take delight when Christians do wrong. As David wrote in Psalm 56, they even twist words to mean something that wasn’t intended at all.

Daniel is another example of someone who became so suc-

cessful and was such a shining example that others became jealous of him. The worst thing they could fi nd against him was that he prayed. In Daniel 6 we read about how they cooked up a scheme that eventually landed Daniel in a den of lions.

However, when the king realized he had been tricked, even he had faith that God would deliver Daniel safely. God did keep Daniel safe, and then the schemers ended up in the den of lions themselves.

Some worldly people simply look for any opportunity to try to defeat Christians and drag them down to their own stan-dard of conduct. They want to see how strong Christians are--how much they can take before they crack.

Christians know they should pray in such circumstances as these, but notice that God says to pray for enemies, not to pray against them.

Although it may not seem like it, people watch Christians closely because deep down they too want something bet-ter in their own lives. When Christians falter, those who are watching may be discour-aged from ever turning to God themselves.

Remember that, whether you realize it or not, you are always being watched. Your words and actions will infl uence oth-ers either in a good way or a bad way.

Sometimes, because we are committed to Christ’s way of living, people say things or do things that hurt us deeply. God understands and will be with us as we “hang in there.” He has us taken care of both now and throughout eternity.

Consider whether you would want to trade places with any of those who ridicule or work against you. If not, you are about where God wants you to

be. Others do watch our steps

so it is very important that we

watch our step, too.

Atwood First Baptist Church News

Sunday we came together to worship the Lord in prayer, sing-ing, and Bible reading. Our hearts are heavy when we think of the shooting in Colorado and the heartbreak in this world. We need to remember these families in our prayers.

After our Sunday School hour, Gary led the singing. We were blessed to have Lauren Mudd with us this Sunday and she sang “We Shall See the King Someday.” Lauren, granddaughter of Donna and Glenn Boyd, is always ready with a song. Our church group, Gary, Truby, Tochie, Brenda, and Bill sang “Sweeter as the Days Go By.”

Bro. Larry’s sermon was taken from Ephesians 2:19-22 and entitled “Building a Dwelling Place for God.” David had it upon his heart to build a dwelling place for God. He was thinking of a physical building. His idea was a place that represented the presence of God. Paul reminds the Ephesians that the dwelling of God is not with men, but within them. And so, we must begin with a fi rm foundation of faith in Jesus Christ. The Apostles represent the fi rst ones to truly commit themselves to Jesus. They were entrusted with proclaiming the good news. Their goal was to bring people to Christ, not to a building. We are much more than a place, we are a people. The people of God. As such, we should be aware of our infl uence and witness.

Our ultimate aim is to glorify God. God has a plan, are we following it? Do you know shat God asks of all Christians? Are we committed to following Him, even when it may be dif-fi cult? You and I have responsibilities in our relationship with God. Remember that your heart is the building under construc-tion. The true dwelling place of God is in the hearts of people. People in whom the Spirit of God can dwell and through whom He can work.

Sunday night at 6:00 we will be traveling to Arpelar for the Fifth Sunday Singing. We always have a good time and the food is great. We invite you to go with us and bring a song. Several churches go together, so we have a lot of good music.

Wake Up America-28After the decision made by the United States Supreme Court last week, Democrats across this nation are dancing in the streets. Congratulations Democrats, you just drove a dull knife deep into the heart and soul of our personal rights and freedoms. Every citizen will be required to participate in this so called, free health care. You will be implanted with an electronic chip in your hand, or a location in your body decided by the government. This chip will be directly tied to your bank accounts, savings, and any other personal information the government wants to track you by. You will be tracked with every move you make. If you do not comply, you will be fined and/or imprisoned, possibly both.

I have been to Canada and Australia numerous times over the years. Each time that I visit these countries, I have tried to question the citizens there about their govern-ment- run health care systems. In both countries, the systems may help a few, but for the majority of the people, it is a large tax burden. How does Mr. Obama and his elite few plan on paying for this “white elephant”? The Democrats call it a penalty, most people call it another tax. If this bucket of garbage is finally implemented, it will be the largest tax increase in U.S. history. Thank you Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Max Baucus, Sweet Barney, and all of the other idiots who voted for this. We the people have told you time and time again, WE DO NOT WANT THIS!

We do not want any more socialism or Marxism philosophies rammed down our throats. Speaking of Marxism. Guess who Obama’s recent spiritual advisor is? Rev-erend Jim Wallis a known “redistribution of wealth” thinker, Marxist. Obama has had several of these morons for advisors, I will not name them all. I wonder how much this advisor is being paid by the taxpayers of this country? What does the president of the United States need a spiritual advisor for? With having no business experience, Obama really could use a business advisor!

Speaking of business. It is amazing to watch hollywierd (California) for so many years and see how much money they spend to endorse people like Obama. Their governor just signed ANOTHER budget that will AGAIN raise taxes for those poor people out on the west coast. Sure glad that I live in the state of Oklahoma, the red-dest state in the Union. At least here in the Midwest, people tend to have a great deal more “common sense”. Obama did not win one county, NOT ONE, in the state of Oklahoma in the past election. He will not win another in November. Oklahoma is a leader in this fight for freedom. Hopefully other states will finally see through all the smoke and mirrors and follow suit. We in Oklahoma can be proud of our present leadership. We are a positive example of family values. We will be an example of how to balance our state’s budget and not depend on BIG BROTHER.

We do not need someone to do our thinking, we do not need big labor unions, we do not need some bone head in Washington D.C. telling us when we can go to the doc-tor, we do not need the U.S. government telling us how to educate our children. Their system has failed. We do not need the EPA. Our jobs have left the U.S. for the many restrictions they have place upon businesses , not only small business, but all manufacturers. We need to get out of the U.N. and its socialist agenda.

I have one message to Mr. Obama and the parasites that voted on his health care pro-gram. I do not care what the U.S. Supreme Court decided last week. I will never buy his policy. You can send your Gestapo regime to arrest me after I refuse to pay the so called fine. I will not be the only person going down that day. My ancestors have fought and died for the freedoms this country has today. This is the greatest nation on this earth today due to the sacrifices of the men and women who have made this country what it is. This administration will not be able to take it down with a simple executive order from someone who does not have one clue how to lead this country.

IF WATER RIGHTS ARE BEING TRANSFERRED HOW WILL YOU KNOW?

State and local laws require public notice because you need to know when actions that affect you are about to happen. We expect accountability, transparency and warnings from our state and local governments.

Many important notices are included as part of this newspaper. Printed newspaper notices are permanent, affordable, archived, independent of government and well-read.

In a statewide survey, 68% of Oklahomans said government should be required to publish notices in local newspapers. Furthermore, 70% said government should not be allowed to put notices only on their own website. Oklahomans know internet postings don’t achieve the same result as printed public notice put in the hands of local citizens.

Public notice is for you – when you need to know.

Outdoor activities can be fun, but tick and mosquito bites can quickly put a damper on your Sunday afternoon yard work. Ticks and mosquitoes can carry disease, so learn how to protect yourself and your family, Coal County Health Department Ad-ministrative Director Michael Echelle said today.

Echelle advises persons who participate in hiking, camping, bicycle trail riding, yard work, gardening, and other outdoor ac-tivities, to follow tick bite preven-tion tips. “Each year, Oklahoma ranks among those states with the highest number of reported cases of tick borne disease,” he said.

Tick borne diseases are com-mon in Oklahoma, according to the Acute Disease Service of the Oklahoma State Department of Health, which maintains statistics on reportable infectious diseases. In 2011, there were 472 cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Ehrlichiosis, and Tularemia, in-cluding five cases in Coal County. Thus far in 2012, 62 cases of tick borne illness have been reported. No cases have been reported in Coal County this year.

Symptoms of a tick borne dis-ease may include fever, headache, muscle aches, vomiting, and ab-dominal pain. Other symptoms may include skin rash and swell-ing of the lymph nodes in the area of the tick bite. Tick borne diseases can be treated success-fully with early diagnosis and appropriate antibiotics.

The County Health Department recommends the following tick

“If you experience symptoms consistent with a tick borne disease or WNV within 14 days after a tick bite, mosquito bite, or participating in outdoor activities, contact your health care provider immediately,” Echelle stated.

Coal County Commissioner District 2 is spraying for mosqui-toes three times a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, in Coal-gate, Cottonwood and Phillips.

The mosquito fogging chemical kills adult mosquitoes but not larvae. “That’s the reason it’s important not have stagnant and standing water,” Echelle said. “The fog kills the adult mosqui-toes, but then the larvae hatch.”

For more information on tick borne and mosquito borne dis-eases, go to the Oklahoma State Department of Health website at http://www.ok.gov/health.

bite prevention precautions: Wear light-colored clothing to

make ticks easier to see.Wear long-sleeved shirts and

long pants tucked into socks to deprive ticks of attachment sites.

Wear closed-toe shoes, not sandals.

Hikers and bikers should stay in the center of trails to avoid grass and brush.

Check for ticks at least once per day, particularly along waist-bands, in the armpits and groin area.

Use an insect repellent with DEET on skin and clothing ac-cording to directions.

Use an insect repellent with Permethrin on clothing only and according to directions.

Check your pets! Dogs and cats can get tick borne illnesses too, and they are a traveling tick parade, bringing ticks into your home.

West Nile virus (WNV) is transmitted by a mosquito bite. While only one case of WNV was reported in Oklahoma in 2011, 329 cases and 20 deaths have been reported in the state from the disease since 2002.

“We’re seeing a lot of mosquito activity right now because we’ve had a wet season,” Echelle said. There has been one confirmed case of West Nile Virus (WNV) in Pittsburgh County and one con-firmed case in Tulsa County, he said. “My message to the public would be to be mindful not only of mosquito borne illnesses but also of tick borne illnesses.”

Symptoms of WNV include sudden onset of fever, headaches, dizziness, and muscle weakness. Long-lasting complications can include difficulty concentrating, migraine headaches, extreme muscle weakness and tremors, and paralysis of a limb. Some of the neurological effects of WNV may be permanent.

To protect against mosquito bites, follow these recommenda-tions:

Use insect repellent on exposed skin and clothing when you go outdoors and according to product instructions, particularly if you are outdoors between dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are more likely to bite.

Repair or install window and door screens to keep mosquitoes out of your home.

Prevent items such as buckets, cans, pool covers, flowerpots, and tires from holding standing water so mosquitoes don’t have a place to breed.

Empty your pet’s outdoor water bowl and refill daily.

Regularly clean leaves and de-bris from rain gutters to ensure they are not clogged.

Echelle added birdbaths and even ornamental pounds and fountains to the list. “Make sure the

water is circulating or clean,” he said. Larvacide, which is available in different forms such as tablets and chemicals, may also be placed in the water to kill mosquito larvae, and it’s environ-mentally safe, he said.
