logan county deputy david wade slain on...

CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK

Logan County Deputy Sheriff David Wade was delivering an eviction no-tice to a home in Mulhall on his own Tuesday when one of the people at the res-idence pulled out a gun and fired at the officer in the face and multiple times in the body at approximately 9:20 a.m.

Prior to the attack, Wade and the other man, Nathan Leforce who was at the residence to assist the couple in moving, were having a small conversa-tion as the home owners collected their information for the officer. As Wade re-ceived identification from all three at the residence, he returned to his vehicle where he ran the informa-tion. In the body camera footage recently released from the Logan County Sheriffs office, Wade notes that something was “fishy” about the situation.

As he walked back to other three, he was met by Leforce holding a pistol. Leforce fired at Wade in the face and body multiple times. According to Logan County Sheriff Damon Devereaux, Wade immedi-ately called over the radio

for assistance and fired back at Leforce in defense. Devereaux commented that Wade kept fighting despite his injuries.

After firing, Leforce stole the Deputy vehicle and began to drive North and the other two fled separately. Shortly after the attack, Logan County

deputies, an ambulance, a medical response helicop-ter, Oklahoma Highway Patrol and various police agencies were on site.

According to De-vereaux, Wade was imme-diately put in the ambu-lance where the response team began working to sta-bilize him.

“When I got here he was in an ambulance an-swering questions,” De-vereaux said.

Wade spoke to units on site about what had hap-pened leading up to the at-tack as witnesses were be-

ing questioned. The deputy remained in the ambulance until he was stable enough to be moved in the heli-copter to the OU Medical Center.

While Wade was re-ceiving treatment on site, and a portion of law en-forcement agents were se-curing the scene, the search

for Leforce was already underway. Nearly every agency available arrived to help locate Leforce.

When Wade was load-ed into the helicopter and transported to the OU Med-ical Center, it was reported that Leforce had stopped at Smitty’s gas station off of Interstate 33 and Henney Road in Coyle where he left the Deputy’s vehicle and stole a Grey Mazda 3 that was in the parking lot.

Following the trans-portation of Wade to the hospital and the release of the new vehicle being used

by Leforce, Devereaux gave an update on the situ-ation. He noted that Wade had been with the depart-ment for multiple years at that time and he was former military.

“I can tell you it is a very emotional experience. There were several times this morning I fought back tears with my guys. It hurts to see one of your own hurt. … 24 years in law enforce-ment and this is my worst. Like I told my wife, the one thing, the biggest fear of my life is presiding over one of my deputy’s funerals,” De-vereaux said.

As the day progressed and the investigation con-tinued, the authorities con-tinued to follow Leforce into Northern Logan Coun-ty. As they pursued, they found the stolen vehicle near a section of woods and mobile homes. The Okla-homa State Bureau of In-vestigation, Logan County Sheriff’s Department, OHP, and other departments nar-rowed down his location to a square radius on Jaxton Road and set up a perim-eter.

At this same time, De-vereaux was at OU Medical

Additional arrest in Guthrie murder

Since the murder of Joseph Angelo on April 5, two suspects related to the case have been identified. One of the suspects, Reg-gie Dewayne Smith, was apprehended for a different charge just days after the at-tack. A week later, on April 12, it was discovered that Smith was involved in the murder of Angelo.

Smith remains in Logan County jail at the moment. The other suspect in the murder is Derrick Eugene Smith, cousin to the suspect currently in jail.

Derrick Smith, unlike his cousin, is still on the run from authorities.

The investigators tagged his cell phone to trace him. However, as they were following the trail, Derrick Smith crossed into Texas where he stayed for some time.

Earlier this week his cell phone trace came back to Oklahoma. When the lead was followed, it led them to the home of Reagan Armstrong in Oklahoma City. She had taken Derrick Smith, who was discovered to be her boyfriend, to Tex-as and back.

When asked why she had taken a man wanted for murder across state lines, she replied that it was a couples drive.

She was then arrested for helping a wanted crimi-nal escape from authorities. She is not be charged for in-volvement in the murder of Joseph Angelo.

Shootout results in one death

At approximately 4:40 p.m. Thursday, April 20 Logan County Deputies re-sponded to the vicinity of Simmons Rd. and Douglas Blvd in response to an irate man walking in the road-way carrying a shotgun.

As deputies responded to the scene, the man had entered into the wooded area off the road where he hid behind trees and brush. After the deputies spoke with witnesses on the scene, they began talking with the man who was later identi-fied as Logan County resi-

dent Marion Lee Holliday, age 65.

According to Ser-geant Greg Valencia, it is currently unknown what exactly was said during the exchange between the deputies and Holliday. Dur-ing the brief conversation, Holliday raised his shotgun and pointed the barrel at the deputies.

“The deputies fired their weapons at that time, shooting the subject. The subject is deceased,” Va-lencia said.

Members of the depart-ment looked into the mans previous record and found

that he had one arrest with Logan County, possession of narcotics. According to Valencia, it is currently un-known if Holliday was suf-fering from some type of

mental illness or temporary mental incapacitation. It is also unknown why the man was carrying the shotgun in the roadways.

The above map shows the most populated section of the Guthrie School District. Each dot on the map shows the home of a family with children in the age range for the new school. The location of the new school is in the lower right of the map.

The Guthrie School Bond Issue is well under-way, with Phase One nearly complete and Phase Two starting soon.

A contract for con-struction of the new school, Charter Oak Elementary, was awarded to W.L. Mc-Natt Construction for just over $9.2 million according to Guthrie Schools Super-intendent Mike Simpson.

“There are some thing that are not in the contract that we are going to do out-side of the contract, such as furniture. It is to our ad-vantage to take it out of the contract, there is not mark-up to the general contractor for those things,” Simpson said.

The total cost of the project, between the con-struction contract and the necessary items outside of the contract, is approxi-mately $10.6 million.

Charter Oak Elementa-ry will be a one-story build-ing designed for Pre-Kin-dergarten through Fourth Graders. Simpson said the gymnasium of the build-ing will also function as a storm shelter.

“With tilt-up concrete construction for that build-ing, a full size basketball court and about five or six rows of bleachers I believe. That portion of the school will be a tornado shelter above ground,” Simpson said.

The ground breaking will be some time within the next month and the con-struction is expected to be completed by July of 2018. By the end of the project, Simpson believes it will be a very efficient state-of-the-art school building.

This project began when the school board rec-ognized that the transpor-tation to the schools has children on buses for too

long and at too high of a cost. Due to the routes and the grade center system, every bus touches every school twice a day. Ad-ditionally, the school dis-trict is approximately 232 square miles and growing. Simpson commented that the district is unusual in the sense that the growth is taking place away from the center of town, whereas most grow from the center of town.

As of now, students who live at the end of the district must ride not into town, to each of the stops after their own and then at each building until they get to theirs. It was found that some students have been riding the bus for up to two hours in one direction ev-ery day. Simpson and the school board believe the new school and the system that will be implemented will alleviate the long rides and the high transportation cost.

He also cited a study that found that the more of-ten a child changes school buildings, the more likely that child is to drop out of high school.

Once the new school is completed, the building will accommodate for Pre-Kin-dergarten through Fourth Grade. Once that school is running, the other building in those grade ranges will do the same. Meaning, Cot-teral, Central, Fogarty and GUES will all be Pre-Kin-dergarten through Fourth Grade.

“When we do this, the bus routes will be more ef-ficient because they won’t have to touch each school. Each of the schools will take a different section of the district,” Simpson said.

He explained that when each of those schools accommodates the same grades, teachers will be re-located to divide the staff to where they need to be. This

will be done so the district will not have to hire addi-tional staff. However, some additional support staff will be added where is neces-sary, such as administrators and other positions.

Simpson believes the school will save money an-nually when the bus routes are shorter and the teachers are in better buildings.

He acknowledged that some may be concerned about the trying to save money by building a new school. He addressed this by pointing out several of the schools are using por-table buildings that were not designed for permanent use. Simpson also said that, as the district as grown, the school facilities have not. This has resulted in several classes using rooms that were never designed to be classrooms.

“We really want to

get the students out of the rooms. A classroom doesn’t make the education, but it does help,” Simpson said.

Phase Two only entails this one project. However, this one project is a mas-sive undertaking since the school district has not built a new building in many years and this will present a great shift for many of the students and parents.

As of now, Simpson along with some staff and local parents have formed a transition committee to ensure the best possible transition for all students. This committee will also be in charge of finding which teachers will move to which school.

Overall, Simpson be-lieves this new system will be greatly beneficial for the students and the district overall.

The below chart shows the amount of funding used for Guthrie schools transporta-tion in 2015 next to the amount used for transportation by schools of similar size.

Officer David James Wade of the Logan County Sheriff’s Department was killed in the line of duty on the morning of April 18th, 2017. He was

40 years old.David was born September 7, 1976 in Guthrie to Gerald

Thomas and Sharon Faye (Gallaway) Wade. A native of Guthrie, David graduated from high school in 1995 and continued his education at the University of Central Oklahoma, graduating with two degrees in

criminal justice and forensic science. His natural instinct to serve as a protector continued to guide him to law

enforcement where he faithfully served until his untimely death.

David began his career in the Oklahoma National Guard, serving not only the state he grew up in, but also answer-ing the nation’s call when his unit was deployed to Bosnia

as part of a global peacekeeping mission. His brother, Jerry Wade, was also a member of the 179th infantry divi-

sion and deployed by his side. David was an avid firearms enthusiast, skilled model hobbyist, and shared an interest in history along with

his late father, Gerald Wade, who held a master’s degree in the subject. In his down time, David enjoyed watch-

ing a wide range of films and television, from the works of Spielberg, John Carpenter, and James Cameron to the sci-fi series of Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and historical dramas such as Band of Brothers. Above all,

he loved nothing more than spending time with his three remaining sons: Tristan Redding-Wade, (little) Jerry, and Solomon. He is also survived by his wife, Emily Wade;

mother, Sharon Wade; brother, Jerry Wade; sister-in-law, Andrea Wade; one remaining grandparent, Clara Ketch of Guthrie; close friend Jason Tauer, and countless other

family and friends. He is preceded in death by his father, Gerald Wade;

grandparents Hazel and Morris Wade of Guthrie, and grandfather, Floyd Gallaway of Mulhull.

David had an unwavering pride to wear the uniforms of both soldier and officer of the law. He demonstrated relentless dedication to helping others by serving his

community, state and nation with an unconditional love of those he held dear. His faith in God, country, and family made Deputy David Wade a true hero. He will be sorely

missed.Funeral services will be held at 1:00 P.M., Monday, April 24, 2017 at Lazy E Arena. Interment will follow at Sum-mit View Cemetery. Services are under the direction of

Smith-Gallo Funeral Home, Guthrie.Visitation will be held Sunday, 1:00 P.M. – 8:00 P.M.Friends may sign the online guestbook at www.smith-

dren, Audrey & Cullen; his daughter, Julie (McNeil) Abell & Emanuel, grandchildren, Matthew & Angela; sister, Terri (McNeil) Menser & Lewis; sister, Patricia Esty &

Collette Hatler-Sebring passed from us April 7, 2017. She was born on

August 6, 1968 in Sonora, California and left us in an Oklahoma City hospital 48 years later. In between are

years of joy, sorrow and strength.

Collette loved animals, bells, anything purple and above all else her children

and her husband, friend and partner for 10 years,

Troy Sebring. She leaves behind Christine Satterfield, Michael Satterfield, Ashleigh Demerritt Hawkins and husband Adam Hawkins and their son, J. W, Hawkins, her precious grandson. Missing her as well are the four children and families of Troy; Jona-than Sebring and wife Andrea, Steven Sebring and wife Erica, Tyler Charlet-Sebring and Sierra Charlet-Sebring. Her step grandchildren Isabella and Alice Sebring also

keep Collette in their hearts.Collette has always been a small town girl, loving living

in Guthrie, Oklahoma on a few acres where her cow, Vio-let, and several dogs and cats found shelter in her arms. Her favorite pastimes have been to curl up next to her

husband and pretending to watch the game and gazing out upon the fields enjoying the gathering troop of animals

that found their way to her. Collette also was always glad to help her children with

a hand up when needed and a big hand of applause upon their success. Collette has ever been appreciated as

she excelled in the Service and Hospitality fields and the Lumber Industry. Husband Troy, all her family and

friends remember Collette in the sweet smell of hay, the twinkling of her Bells collected from all over the United States, cattle lowing on the prairie and the deepest shades

of purple coming from the depths of favorite fishing holes. Collette will always be remembered for her loy-

alty, tenacity and courage.

Letter to the EditorI don’t know about the

rest of you, but when a law enforcement officer is killed in the line of duty it strikes a powerful chord. And when that officer is one of our lo-cal officers, it hits especially hard.

The needless, senseless, murder of Logan County Deputy Sheriff David Wade on Tuesday was just about as bad as it can get, in my opinion. Deputy Wade was killed while serving an evic-

tion notice; probably one of the most mundane duties our sheriff’s officers per-form. And as I understand it, the eviction notice wasn’t even intended for the shoot-er. That’s my definition of needless, and as senseless as it gets.

What is going on in our society? This isn’t okay. It never will be. While the taking of any life is abhor-rent, the murder of a law enforcement officer is espe-

cially reprehensible. They stand between us and com-plete chaos. And lately, it seems, we need them more than ever.

My thoughts and prayers are with Deputy Wade’s family, his fellow Logan County officers, our city police officers, law en-forcement throughout our country, and our commu-nity.

CHRONIC PAIN SYNDROME

“IVE HAD THIS BACK PAIN FOR SO LONG I CANT HARDLY STAND IT ANYMORE” RECENTLY SAID THE PATIENT.

“IT’S STIFF AND SORE THE MINUTE I WAKE UP, LOOSENS UP SOMEWHAT AFTER I AM UP FOR AWHILE AND BY THE END OF THE DAY IS TERRIBLY SORE AGAIN. “ PAIN PILLS AND MUSCLE RELAXERS DON’T HELP ANYMORE.”

THESE ARE THE WORDS OF MANY PATIENTS BEFORE THEY TRY SPIMAL MANIPULATIONS. IN THIS ARTICLE, I WANT TO DISCUSS WHY PAIN GETS CHRONIC AND WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT.

INJURY TO THE TISSUE OF THE SPINE CAN TAKE LONGER THAN NORMAL TIME

TO HEAL IF THE PATIENT IS OBESE, CONTINUES WORKING IN AN OCCUPATION THAT AGGRAVATES THE ORIGINAL INJURY, HAS IMPROPER REST, POOR BODY CONDITIONING AND POOR POSTURE.

AS THE PAIN GETS CHRONIC, IT APPEARS TO BE A FAR GREATER INTENSITY THAN THE ORIGINAL INJURY AND CAN GRADUALLY LEAD TO HYSTERIA, PARANOIA ABOUT HEALTH, MOOD CHANGES AND DEPRESSION.

P R E D I S P O S I N G FACTORS ARE ALCOHOL, PHYSICAL ABUSE, DRUG ABUSE AND INABILITY TO HANDLE STRESS. MANY OF THESE PATIENTS HAVE HAD MONTHS AND YEARS OF EFFORT TO OBTAIN HELP THROUGH VARIOUS THERAPIES AND TECHNIQUES. THE MOST EFFECTIVE TREATMENT PROGRAM IS HOLISTIC.

CHRONIC PAIN AFFECTS YOU E M O T I O N A L L Y AND PHYSICALLY,

AFFECTING YOUR HEART RATE AND BLOOD PRESSURE. IT AFFECTS YOUR STOMACH CAUSING ULCERS AND SPASTIC COLON. IT AFFECTS BREATHING CAUSING ASTHMA AND BRONCHIAL SPASM AND IT ALWAYS AFFECTS THE NUROMUSCULAR SKELETAL SYSTEM CAUSING MORE TENSION AND PAIN. THESE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS CAUSE PAIN AND THE PAIN IN TURN CAUSES NEGATIVE EMOTION AND IT WILL CONTINUE IN THAT CYCLE UNLESS AND UNTIL YOU DECIDE TO TAKE AN ACTION STEP. QUIT TRYING TO JUST TREAT SYMPTOMS WITH DRUGS THAT LEAD TO DEPENDENCY AND ADDICTION. START WORKING WITH YOUR BODYS ABILITY TO GET WELL AND MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO GET WELL.

THE HOLISTIC APPROACH WITH CHIROPRACTIC IS THE SAFEST AND MOST EFFECTIVE APPROACH YOU COULD TRY. WHY NOT GIVE US A CALL TODAY. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. THAT PAIN IS NATURE TELLING YOU TO DO SOMETHING.

Making the old-fashioned coconut macaroons last week got me to thinking about an-other cookie. Growing up, it was always a treat to take the scraps of my mom’s pie pas-try, sprinkle them with sugar and cinnamon, and bake them on a piece of foil. Driz-zled with honey, they were a special, practically free treat for kids who couldn’t wait for the pie to finish baking. And not a bit of that precious pastry went to waste.

If you don’t have time to make your own pie pastry, you can still indulge in this simple cookie. Using two re-frigerated piecrusts, you can have steaming, sugary home-made cookies that will delight kids and grownups alike. Al-though these are best hot out of the oven, if you have any leftovers, wrap them tightly

in aluminum foil and serve them with honey later.

Oh, and if you missed the coconut macaroons recipe, you can find it on kitchen-scoop.com. Enjoy!

Piecrust CookiesStart to finish: about 30

minutesYield: Makes about 24

cookies, 2 (9-inch) unbaked piecrusts, 3 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar, firmly packed, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons honey, or more to taste, Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.

If using homemade piecrusts, roll them out into a 9- to 10-inch circle, if you haven’t already done so. If using purchased piecrusts, follow the microwave direc-tions on the box to bring the crusts to room temperature.

In a small bowl, combine

the brown sugar and cinna-mon. Place one rolled-out piecrust on a lightly floured surface and cut into shapes using a sharp knife or cookie cutter. Then sprinkle with brown sugar-and-cinnamon mix. Move the cookies to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (optional; makes for easier cleanup). Repeat with second piecrust. Include even the odd shapes, if desired. Bake the cookies until they are light brown, about 11 minutes. Drizzle with honey. Serve immedi-ately. Otherwise, wrap tight-ly in aluminum foil and serve with honey later.

Approximate values per cookie: 82 calories, 4 g fat (2 g saturated), 4 mg cholester-ol, 1 g protein, 11 g carbohy-drates, trace g dietary fiber, 94 mg sodium.

F r e e d o m s Foundation at Val-ley Forge Honors Local Citizens-An awards din-ner was recently held at Oklahoma Christian Uni-versity by the Oklahoma City Chapter of Free-doms Foundation at Valley Forge honoring State Representat ive Kevin Calvey, Major General (ret) Myles Deer-ing, Dr. Billye Peterson, and Jenni White.

Founded in 1949 by E. F. Hut-ton Don Belding, Kenneth Wells, and General Dwight D. Eisen-hower, Freedoms Foundation is a national educa-tional non-profit organization pro-moting the ideals and principles of America’s free

society and en-couraging all Americans to em-brace their rights and responsi-bilities. Through their awards program, they recognize good citizenship and honor community service and those who give selfless-ly; and through their education programs, they inspire leaders of tomorrow and provide civic ed-ucation for teach-ers.

Dr. Billye Peterson, an Ed-mond resident, was recognized in the Adult Community divi-sion, one of sev-en categories for Freedoms Foun-dation’s National Awards. Chapter President, Kathy Kaajohelo, intro-duced her stat-

ing, “This award is for those indi-viduals who have gone above and beyond the call

of duty while promoting good works and serv-ing their commu-nities on an ongo-ing, day-to-day basis.

Dr. Peterson has a life-time of serving oth-ers.” As a 45-year member of Epsi-lon Sigma Alpha, a philanthropic o r g a n i z a t i o n , she has chaired many local St. Jude Children’s Research Hos-pital fundraising events and cur-rently serves on the board of di-rectors for The Hugs Project.

Dr. Peterson was also pre-sented with the George Wash-ington Medal of

Freedom, which is the highest award given by Freedoms Foun-dation at Valley Forge.

On November 21, 1949, Gen-eral Eisenhower presented 200 re-cipients with the first Freedoms Foundation Na-tional Awards. Since that time nearly 56,000 awards have been presented to Americans from all walks of life. Large corpora-tions and small businesspersons, farmers, students, teachers, and mil-itary personnel have all been pre-sented National

Awards for their efforts to make America a better place for everyone.

Mrs. Kaaioh-elo stated, “This

program was in-tended as a way to say thank you to those whose projects, words or deeds reflect the best of the American spirit of volunteerism.

Dr. Peter-son certainly has many accolades which attest to her heart for helping others.” Anyone interest-ed in joining the Freedoms Foun-dation at Valley Forge is encour-aged to contact Sarah Jo Odom, 405-503-5057 or s j o d o m l @ c o x .net. If you would like to serve your community through volun-teerism, contact JoAnn Bullard of Epsilon Sigma Alpha, an inter-national service organization, at 405-341-7271.

with Wade as the med-ical professionals contin-ued to work on repairing his injuries. Unfortunately, just after noon on Tuesday, Wade’s condition took a sharp turn as he went into cardiac arrest as a result of his injuries and passed away.

The word of his pass-ing was quickly passed around to all the agencies who continued their search for Leforce. Less than three hours later, the agencies on the ground found the trailer home Leforce was hiding in, surrounded it and talked him out of the building. Leforce was apprehended without firing any addition-al shots.

As he was being ar-rested, it was found he had abandoned his weap-on from the initial attack somewhere along his route. Leforce was put into one of the Law enforcement agents vehicle with mul-tiple agents headed toward the Logan County jail. The vehicle carrying Leforce was escorted by multiple other vehicles to ensure the man arrived at the jail with no further incidents.

Those who did not es-cort Leforce to the jail be-gan searching for the gun he had abandoned. They quickly determined it was not left in the home he was hiding in or the vehicles he utilized in his attempted es-cape. The authorities con-tinue to search the path he took for the gun.

That evening, the body of Deputy David Wade was escorted to the Smith-Gallo Funeral Home in Guthrie by a procession of law en-forcement vehicles ranging from motorcycles to police cruisers of every agency available. Along the route

to Guthrie, multiple Fire Departments and other public safety agencies lined bridges and streets to honor Wade.

As the processional entered Guthrie, a direct path to the funeral home was cleared by the fire department and Guthrie Police. Many residents of the area stood Division as the line of vehicles passed through. The servicemen on the street saluted and the civilians stood in respectful silence, the only sound in the city was the sirens from the vehicles.

Leforce was then moved to Payne County until his arraignment on Thursday April 20. Shortly after, the couple who owned the home where Wade was shot were taken into cus-tody. The man, John Lute, was arrested for failure to appear on Controlled Dan-gerous Substance charges. The woman, Christine Lute, was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia. Nei-ther are being charged in the attack and murder of Wade.

“When I got word that he (Leforce) was in custody, I contacted my undersheriff and made arrangements for him to be held elsewhere. I am not going to put that on my staff to see this guy every day and I really don’t want him in my facility. So the Sheriff in Payne County was gracious enough to offer their county jail for that,” Devereaux said.

Wade was a Guthrie native who spent time in the Army, worked with the Logan County Sheriff’s Department for multiple years and leaves behind a wife and three children. Devereaux said the ulti-mate goal of his department at this time is to support the family.

“We will grieve as a family here on our own,

hopefully we have all started that. Some are still trying to figure that out. So we are grieving together but, our goal at this point in time is to support the Wade family,” Devereaux said.

On Wednesday, the day after the attack, Wade’s family and members of the Sheriff’s department worked to plan funeral ar-rangements. It was deter-mined that a visitation peri-od would be held from 1 to 8 p.m. Sunday April 23 and a funeral service will be held at the Lazy E. Arena at 1 p.m. Monday April 24. Deputy David Wade will be laid to rest at the Summit View Cemetery in Guthrie.

Late Wednesday eve-ning, the U.S. Honor Flag arrived in Logan County from Wisconsin. The flag was headed to North Texas from Wisconsin but, hours after leaving its former location, the route was di-verted to Guthrie to honor Wade.

The justice system moved quickly to begin holding Leforce responsi-ble for his actions. The ar-raignment for Leforce took place in the early afternoon Thursday, just two days af-ter the attack. During the arraignment, District At-torney Laura Thomas an-nounced that she would be pursuing the death penalty in the case on the charges

of First Degree Murder and two counts of vehicle theft.

“That’s what it (the death penalty) is there for. There is nobody that I know of that deserves it more than him,” Devereaux said in a press conference shortly af-ter the arraignment.

After the arraignment concluded, Devereaux said Leforce was immediately taken back to the Payne County jail where he will be staying for the duration of the case.

Devereaux said there has been a huge outpour-ing of support for the fam-ily and the department since the attack. He noted the flowers that have been placed on the steps of the departments office and a picture made by some of the inmates in the Logan County jail.

“I had a drawing that one of our detention deputy’s gave me from a couple of the inmates in jail. So we have got guys in the back that are feeling our pain and trying to send what condolences they can from back there. … You know, the outpouring from outside this facility has been phenomenal and to see our guys in the back that we put back there, are obviously concerned for us too,” Devereaux said.

As the Sheriff regard-ed Wade and what he did in his life, Devereaux re-sponded simply with, “He served as a hero and died as one.”

While planting a tree in your yard may seem in-timidating, all it takes is a little muscle and some good know-how. Follow these guidelines from the expert arborists at the Tree Care Industry Association:

Measure the height and diameter of the root ball or root spread.

Dig the hole just deep enough to allow the first structural root to be at level grade. The diameter of the hole should be two to three times the diameter of the root ball or root spread.

Set the tree on undis-turbed solid ground in the center of the hole. The tree should be planted so that the root flare, the base of the tree trunk where the roots begin to “flare-out,” will be visible above grade.

Backfill with soil from the planting hole, using wa-ter to pack or settle the soil around the root ball. Do not tamp soil by stepping on it.

Mulch the planting area with 2 - 4 inches of an organic, composted mulch such as wood chips. Do not mulch up to or against the trunk. Start the mulch six inches away from the tree trunk.

Trees should be pruned after planting to remove broken, damaged, diseased or dead branches.

Stake and/or protect the trunk of the tree if there is a real potential for wind damage or lawn-mower injury. Remove the sup-portive wires and materials when the staking is no lon-ger needed or the tree could be injured or even killed.

Prune to develop a good branch structure once the tree has become estab-lished in its new home, usu-ally 1 - 3 years after plant-ing. Never remove more than 25 percent of total foli-age in one year.

Fertilizing is not rec-ommended at the time of planting.

Make Your Home Safer in Wicked Weather(StatePoint) Wicked weath-

er can happen anytime, any-where. Being prepared will offer you, your family and your home greater protection. Here is what to know.

Take ShelterOftentimes, the safest place

to be during a storm is at home or in a designated shelter, de-pending on the storm’s severity. That said, it’s important to know more about how your home was constructed. Keep in mind that new homes are subject to re-gional safety standards to help ensure they can stand up to ex-treme conditions likely to occur in the area. So, if you live in an older home, consider retrofitting it with newer products that are more resistant to high winds.

If you live in a manufac-tured home, you can rest easier knowing that your home was subject to robust compliance and quality assurance regulations en-acted by the federal government in 1976, and was engineered for wind safety and energy effi-ciency based on the geographic region in which you bought it.

Even so, proper installation is crucial for maximum safety,

including additional structures added by the homeowner, such as an awning, deck, carport or sunroom. Indeed, a 2014 Insur-ance Institute for Business & Home Safety test found that newer manufactured homes per-formed better at high winds than traditional-built homes when at-tached structures are properly installed.

The Manufactured Hous-ing Institute (MHI) says the building design criteria and anchoring systems for modern manufactured homes allow them to perform better in a storm than ones built before 1976, and that federal wind standards became even stronger in 1994.

It’s also a good idea to have a professional check the anchor-ing system on an older manufac-tured home, especially one built prior to 1976. If you live in a manufactured home land-lease community, contact your com-munity manager for assistance with identifying a qualified in-spector. If your manufactured home is located on private prop-erty, a local licensed manufac-tured home installer can be hired to inspect the home’s anchoring

and tie-down system. To learn more, visit manufacturedhous-ing.org.

Get Stocked UpTaking shelter in a storm is

easier when you are equipped to do so. Maintain a well-stocked supply of non-perishable food items, fresh water, batteries and a first aid kit.

It may also be wise to pur-chase a generator, however it’s crucial to follow the manufac-turer’s safety instructions and to never operate the generator in an enclosed space.

Tune InListen to local news to get

the latest weather updates and safety instructions. Keep a bat-

tery-operated radio handy so you can stay up-to-date even if the power should go out for a long period.

Today’s weather forecast-ing technologies often provide advance notice of weather pat-terns capable of producing con-ditions such as severe wind and tornadoes, so you can know whether it’s time to seek shelter in the basement or evacuate the area. If a home, site-built or man-ufactured, does not have a below-ground basement, have a plan in place to seek below-ground or other appropriate shelter nearby when necessary. It’s also impor-tant to follow evacuation orders when issued.

The Cashion Wildcats are district champions. The #17 team in Class A captured the title by domi-nating their own district tournament, winning three games in two days by a combined 42-9.

The only real test for the Wildcats came in the opening round when they faced off with Thomas-Fay-Custer. Cashion outlasted the Terriers 7-4.

In their second game of the tournament, Cashion routed Waukomis High School 22-2.

In the district champi-onship, the Wildcats faced off with Waukomis again and while the score was much closer, Cashion still earned a run-rule victory 13-3 in five innings of play.

The Wildcats struck first in the bottom of the first after Peyton Wilson scored on a double steal to put Cashion up 1-0.

In the bottom of the second, Cashion’s Jace Linde singled to right be-fore Parker Payahsape drove him in with an RBI ground out to third to put the Wildcats up 2-0.

Cashion finally broke the game open in the bot-tom of the third as they sent nine batters to the plate, scoring four runs to take a commanding 6-0 lead.

The Wildcats added four more runs in the bot-tom of the fourth highlight-ed by a 2-run home run by Matthew Farrow.

Waukomis was able to put three runs on the board in the top of the fifth, but the Wildcats responded

with three runs of their own highlighted by a two-run RBI double by Farrow to end the game.

While the Wildcats were effective at the plate, Caden Frazee was just as ef-ficient in his five innings of work on the mound. Frazee struck out seven while only allowing five hits and helped give Cashion mo-mentum from the very first inning. Frazee struck out five out of the first six bat-ters he faced.

Frazee’s solid perfor-mance is one of the many Cashion has had from its pitching staff this season. Littered with left-handers and three right-handers, Cashion Head Coach Blake Mounce believes this is the deepest his rotation has ever been.

“This is my third year

and this is most pitching I’ve had since I’ve been here,” Mounce said. “We have five lefties and three right-handers. This is the deepest we’ve ever been.”

The depth on the mound and the explosive offense, the Wildcats are returning to the regional tournament once again. This time, they hope to breakthrough to state.

“We’ve been there the last couple of years but just haven’t been able to get it done in regionals,” Mounce said. “We got really close last year and in my first year we took Binger-Oney to the regional title game. Hopefully this year we can find a way to get out a tough regional tourna-ment and make it to make it to state and see what hap-pens.”

Tigers lend helping hand to rival

When the Crescent High School baseball team heard that long-time Well-ston High School assistant baseball coach Travis Mat-thews house burned down on Easter Sunday, they immediately knew what to do.

“The kids wanted to do something for the Coach Matthews so they all collected money on their own and raised about $300 that we presented to him after our game in Lu-ther on Tuesday,” Crescent Head Coach Shawn Booth said. “We talk with the kids all the time about the game of life and this was a good teaching moment for them. I’m really proud of our kids. We just pulled up on the field after one of their games and presented it to him. Everyone got pretty choked up.”

The fire that de-stroyed Matthews house started in the attic and has now been determined an electrical fire. The smoke from the fire woke up his

wife Lisa. If it weren’t for Lisa’s quick actions, Mat-thews believes the out-come would’ve been much worse.

“We’re just happy everyone got out okay,” Matthews said. “A cou-ple more minuets and we would’ve died. My wife just happened to wake up and the smoke was already on us. She saved my life. If she hadn’t have woken up, we wouldn’t be here today. We’re alive because of her.”

Sometimes it’s the small gestures that make the biggest impact. For Coach Matthews, it was a moment he won’t soon forget.

“We lost pretty much everything in the fire,” Matthews said. “We’ve had an overwhelming amount of support from people. I had no idea Booth was go-ing to do that. He is a re-ally great guy. I’ve known him for eight years and he’s pure class. I didn’t know what to say when they presented their dona-tion. All I could do was to tell them thank you.”
