Kingfisher city commissioners will vote Monday night on an ordi-nance increasing electric, water and sewer rates by a combined total of 9 percent.

If approved, the increases will be the first for electric rates since 2003 and the first water and sewer adjust-ments since 2010.

The ordinance is based on recom-mendations of the Oklahoma City engineering firm C.H. Guernsey, approved by the commission last month after the company conducted a utility rate structure study.

The proposed ordinance includes increases in both the flat monthly utility charges (which are the same for all customers and represent each customer’s share of fixed utility

expenses, like salaries, infrastruc-ture and maintenance) and per unit charges (which vary based on con-sumption).

Trash service rates will remain unchanged.

While the city has passed on to its customers any increases in the amount it pays for electricity from the Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority in the form of fuel cost adjustments, the city has been ab-sorbing other increases in the cost of electrical distribution to households and businesses, City Manager Dave Slezickey told commissioners last month.

If approved, the new utility rates would take effect in October and be reflected on customer bills in No-

vember.The ordinance is one of several

items on a busy agenda for the city’s regular September meeting, sched-uled for 5:30 p.m. Monday at City Hall.

Other items on the agenda for the commission’s consideration include:

•Recognizing retiring cemetery sextant Lester Hamil for 30 years of service.

•A proposal to letter “In God We Trust” on the bumpers of city police cars.

•Recognizing the fire and water departments for their efforts to lower the city’s ISO fire suppression rating.

•Submission of an application for an Oklahoma Department of Forest-ry grant for the fire department.

•Purchase of a LifePak defibrilla-tor for the fire department and emer-gency medical service for $42,570.56.

•Submission of an application for an emergency management per-formance grant, in cooperation with Kingfisher County.

•Recognizing Kingfisher as “Home of Curtis Lofton, NFL Line-backer.”

•A proposed ordinance to amend the city’s code to comply with state legislative changes.

•A proposal to lease a residence owned by the city on the airport property.

•A proposal to lease property at the city’s lift station to Leon and Jo Kochenower for grazing.

Utility rate increases on Monday agenda

Delinda Barnett of Okarche and her daughter Chelsea Barnett of Washington, D.C., took part in a mission trip to Zambia last summer, working at an orphanage.

It was Delinda’s first trip but Chel-sea has been there twice before with a group from her church in Washing-ton, D.C., the National Community Church.

It was partially at Chelsea’s en-couragement that Delinda took part in the trip last August, along with a deep feeling that she should.

Delinda was concerned that her age (having a grown family) might make her less effective as a mission team member.

As it turned out it was a bene-fit. The children at the orphanage considered her a grandmother and flocked to her, calling her Grandma-ma, at first, and then simply, ‘Mum.’

The people of Zambia have an En-glish accent, likely due to the nation’s former status as an English colony, and English remains the primary language spoken there, in addition to a variety of tribal tongues.

Delinda, who is married to Okarche veterinarian Dr. David Bar-nett, called the experience life-chang-ing.

In fact, she said it was hard to

New Lifeway Church may open by EasterThe new Lifeway Church build-

ing on South 13th Street in Kingfisher is on track to open by next Easter.

Senior pastor Terry Payne said that the red iron pattern for the building has not been all erected but that work has begun on the exterior.

Contractor for the project is Dan-iels and Daniels of Tulsa. The compa-ny specializes in church buildings.

“One of the things we really like about the company is that they pro-vide a turn-key project, providing all the sound equipment, lighting, everything,” Payne said.

“They don’t provide a plan and then leave you hanging.”

Local church officials have visited one of their most recent church proj-ects in Stillwater and were favorably impressed by its comfortable feel.

Payne said the local church has grown to 500 worshipers and is facing a need for more space even

Ticket Night!

Born to a German craftsman, and a thrifty Irish lass;You were schooled in self sufficiency, and the ways of the working class.

Surrounded by your mother’s family, you honed your Irish wit.There were times we laughed until our sides hurt,

And thought they were going to split.Aside from all the fun and games,

There were times of seriousness too.Nose to the grindstone, sunup to sundown,Heartbreak and disappointments for you.

Through it all you pushed ahead, without a glance behind.You knew the road that lay ahead held the treasures you would find.

Weddings, birthdays, grandkids; holidays and celebration —Precious gems of daily life were the source of your elation.

Your selfless ways were a priceless giftTo those that followed your lead.

An earthly father to love and trust,And fill most every need.

John Adams in a speech to the military in 1798 warned his fellow countrymen stating, “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion . . . Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams is a signer of the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and our second President.

Benjamin Rush, signer of the Declaration of Indepen-dence, said. “[T]he only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be aid in religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments. Without religion, I believe that learning does real mischief to the morals and principles of mankind.”

Noah Webster, author of the first American Speller and the first Dictionary said, “[T]he Christian religion, in its purity, is the basis, or rather the source of all genuine freedom in government. . . . and I am persuaded that no civil government of a republican form can exist and be durable in which the principles of that religion have not a controlling influence.”

Gouverneur Morris, Penman and Signer of the Constitu-tion. “[F]or avoiding the extremes of despotism or anarchy . . . the only ground of hope must be on the morals of the people. I believe that religion is the only solid base of morals and that morals are the only possible support of free governments. [T]herefore education should teach the precepts of religion and the duties of man towards God.”

Fisher Ames author of the final wording for the First Amendment wrote, “[Why] should not the Bible regain the place it once held as a school book? Its morals are pure, its examples captivating and noble. The reverence for the Sacred Book that is thus early impressed lasts long; and probably if not impressed in infancy, never takes firm hold of the mind.”

John Jay, original Chief-Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court, “The Bible is the best of all books, for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next. Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts.”

James Wilson, signer of the Constitution; U. S. Supreme Court Justice, “Human law must rest its authority ultimately upon the authority of that law which is divine. . . . Far from being rivals or enemies, religion and law are twin sisters, friends, and mutual assistants. Indeed, these two sciences run into each other.”

Noah Webster, author of the first American Speller and the first Dictionary stated, “The moral principles and pre-cepts contained in the scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. . . All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.”

Robert Winthrop, speaker of the U. S. House, “Men, in a word, must necessarily be controlled either by a power within them or by a power without them; either by the Word of God or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible or by the bayonet.”

George Washington, general of the Revolutionary Army, president of the Constitutional Convention, first President of the United States of America, Father of our nation, “ Religion and morality are the essential pillars of civil society.”

Benjamin Franklin, signer of the Declaration of Indepen-dence “[O]nly a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”

“Whereas true religion and good morals are the only solid foundations of public liberty and happiness . . . it is hereby earnestly recommended to the several States to take the most effectual measures for the encouragement thereof.” Continental Congress, 1778

Note that the above quotes are but a small sample of hun-dreds of quotes the Founding Fathers made in regards to the importance of a religious and moral people in a successful Republican Democracy.

Obama seeks to bring Muslims to U.S.World Net Daily reports the Obama administration is

“actively considering” ways to help relieve the European mi-grant crisis, and among the options on the table is a massive resettlement of “refugees” inside the United States.

Peter Boogaard, a spokesman for the National Security Council, told the Associate Press the United States is in con-tact with countries in the Middle East and Europe grappling with the migration of nearly 400,000 Middle Eastern and African migrants into Europe.

Boogaard did not elaborate on specific measures being considered, but said they included “refugee resettlement.”

“Many are fleeing the civil war in Syria and areas in Iraq under the control of Islamic State militants,” the AP reported.

But a closer look at the United Nations refugee agency’s data shows that many of the so-called refugees are likely not refugees at all.

According to data from the U.N. high commissioner for refugees, 75 percent of the migrants who arrived on Europe-an soil are men, while 13 percent are children and 12 percent women.

And only a slight majority, 51 percent, of the refugees are Syrian. The remainder are from all over the Middle East and North Africa and many have purchased the passports of dead Syrians.

These passports are easily acquired on the black market in the Middle East, and it is difficult to verify their authentity because of the thousands killed in Middle East fighting.

Religion key to good government

Meet Candy Carson: theanti-Michelle

By Michelle MalkinAfter nearly eight years

of the East Wing’s politics of mope and complain, it’s re-freshing to see a presidential candidate’s spouse who is always smiling.

Candy Carson – wife of GOP 2016 hopeful Dr. Ben Carson, mother of three sons, and grandmother of two – is the anti-Michelle Obama. She’s a quiet but confident ray of sunshine: down-to-earth, devoutly Christian and proudly patriotic.

While Mrs. Obama first gained notoriety carping about racism and trashing America, Mrs. Carson helped kick off her husband’s 2016 bid by playing the violin with a gospel choir as they performed a joyful, rousing rendition of The Star-Span-gled Banner.

I met the couple, who recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary, a few weeks ago during a campaign stop in Colora-do Springs. Dr. Carson’s dazzling career as a Johns Hopkins pediatric neurosur-geon is well known. But Mrs. Carson’s own personal story is remarkable as a standalone exemplar of the American Dream achieved.

The daughter of a teacher and a factory worker, Can-dy Carson grew up poor in inner-city Detroit with four siblings. She earned a schol-arship to attend Yale Uni-versity, where she met her future husband and fellow Detroit native. Mrs. Carson triple-majored in music, psychology and pre-med. She played violin for the Yale Symphony and Bach Society. Just as her church-organist mother insisted that all her children learn to play instru-ments, Mrs. Carson formed a string quartet (two violins, cello and viola) with her own three sons dubbed the “Car-son Four.”

Feminists loved Mrs. Obama’s relentless jokes openly denigrating her spouse’s shortcomings as a husband and father on the campaign trail. Victory did not improve her dour dis-position. Even after moving into the White House and en-joying multiple taxpayer-fi-nanced vacations around the world, President Obama’s bitter half bizarrely lamented her plight as a “busy single mother.”

So. Put. Upon.By contrast, Mrs. Carson

revels in her role as family matriarch and life partner in her husband’s endeavors. “The calling of a neurosur-geon isn’t easy to live out, and Ben has been required to go above and beyond the call of duty many times,” she writes in her upcoming mem-oir, “A Doctor in the House.” “The life of a neurosurgeon’s wife isn’t much easier. But it’s all been worth it. Together, we’ve been through poverty, tragedy, wealth, and joy, and I’ve come to love Ben more as each year has passed.”

Mrs. Obama regularly grumbles about juggling her various roles. “Finding bal-ance has been the struggle of my life and my marriage, in being a woman, being a pro-fessional, being a mother,” she kvetched to Ladies Home Journal. “What women have the power to do, through our own experiences, is to push that balance out into the culture. If people are happier, and they’re more engaged, and they have jobs they can value that allow them to re-spect and value their homes, that makes the home life stronger.”

Struggle this, struggle that. Time for another As-pen ski vacation or carbon footprint-enlarging jaunt to Milan!

Elitist liberal working mothers expend an astound-ing amount of energy letting everyone know how hard they toil, how much “sacri-

Horse hunting (Best Of)It is the most endangered

of all species, the rarest form of animal life in existence. I am referring of course to the equinis kidicus, otherwise known as “the kid’s horse.” I think there are only two in captivity.

The requirements for a good kid’s horse are that it won’t buck, kick or run fast while the child is learning to ride. Then, once the adolescent has mastered the art of horse-manship the parents expect that same horse to carry their child around the barrels in 13 seconds breaking Charmayne Rodman’s record of 10 world championships and allowing the parents to retire in the lap of luxury. Needless to say, this is a very hard horse to find.

I pride myself on being a fair judge of horse flesh and I have occasionally been called upon to evaluate the merits of numerous flea bitten broom tails. Years ago I was asked by some of our best friends to find a bomb-proof horse for their eight year old daughter, not realizing that if I found such a horse I would have to hear about its faults for the next ten years and that I would be taken off their Christmas card list.

The information that I was in the market for a kid’s horse traveled faster than a rumor on Twitter. I think every horse trader in the country called and snickered into my ear, “I hear you’re looking for a kid’s horse?”

I learned that some of the people who specialize in

kid’s horses make used car salesmen seem like paragons of virtue. I checked out one “kid’s horse” that belonged in a rodeo bucking string. The outlaw attempting to sell me the cayuse was so crooked he could sleep in the shadow of a post hole auger. Shortly after taking a seat on the buzzard

bait’s back the sun was shining on the bottoms of my boots. The crook only wanted $5,000 for the man-killer but that figure didn’t include future attorney’s fees or hospital bills.

In my quest for the perfect kid’s horse I examined several that were barely breathing. I inspected a lot of horses that were dead but just wouldn’t lie down. One was an Appa-loosa with just three gaits, the walk, the stop and the parked. In action the horse sounded something like this, “clip, clop, clip, clop, huff, puff, snore.” The owner was willing to sacrifice at only $6,000 seeing how we were friends and all.

There were several adver-tisements in the local news-paper offering, “a free horse to a good home.” These were generally 30-year-old horses that had not been ridden in 15 years, that were blind in one eye and were one breath away from the bone yard.

Such horses are like in-laws, you can never get rid of them, especially now that the feds have outlawed horse slaugh-ter. If you buy one of these elder care horses you have to promise not to sell the horse for export to France and oh, by the way, someone will be by once a week to check on the old flea bag. After much looking I did find one excellent kid’s horse that was dog gentle, loaded in a trailer and ate table scraps. But the girl didn’t like the horse’s name.

I responded to one ad that offered a horse for “$600, or best offer.” The spoiled old plug was so “gentle” I could not raise a pulse. He was a little long in the tooth, and I do mean tooth.(Not in the plural sense). Naturally, the girl fell in love with the horse at first sight. They had what the father called “obvious chemistry.” With visions of blue ribbons running though her head the young girl anxiously asked the owner, “Will I be able to race him in the 4-H horse show?”

“Sure you will,” said the owner. “And I have no doubt you will beat him.” It was an old, well worn joke but in this case, absolutely true.

Three weeks after the girl got the horse home he went to the big glue factory in the sky and my ex-friends had to pay $150 for Buzzard Bill to haul his hollow carcass away.

Now there is only one kid’s horse left in captivity.

In a last ditch strategy to show its authority, House conservatives have pushed party leaders to delay a vote on the Iran nuclear deal be-cause they believe President Obama has deceived Con-gress on components of the agreement.

Though Obama has se-cured enough support to veto an attempt by lawmak-ers to reject the accord, it was expected that the House would vote quickly this week on a resolution to disapprove the deal.

If opponents can’t stop the deal, the thought went, then by soundly rejecting it, lawmakers could put Obama in the tough position of over-ruling widespread dissent of his historical pact, which is opposed by the majority of Congress and the American public.

But now, House Republi-cans are taking their revolt to another level by refusing to vote on the agreement unless the Obama administration provides details of side deals involving international nu-clear inspectors.

“The agreement submit-ted by the Obama admin-istration to Congress is in-complete,” said Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kan., who spoke at The Heritage Foundation Wednesday about the new strategy, which he helped author.

“There are side deals: they are secret, they are import-ant and they exist. Show us what’s in the deal,” Pompeo added.

One of the “side agree-ments” that Pompeo refers to is an agreement between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that describes how questions

about the past military di-mensions of Iran’s nuclear program will be resolved and verified.

The new plan, first report-ed by Politico and confirmed by The Daily Signal, calls for unveiling legislation in three separate components.

House lawmakers would vote on a measure alleging Obama did not submit to Congress all of the elements of the Iran deal.

The House would also vote on a bill that would attempt to prevent Obama from lifting congressionally imposed sanctions on Iran.

And finally, lawmakers would vote on a resolution to approve the deal — rather than disapprove of it.

That vote would fail, and is meant to pressure Demo-crats who have reluctantly announced they will not vote to reject the deal to come out in a stronger way and approve it.

The complex effort is like-ly to have little practical im-pact. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said he does not support delaying a vote of disapproval, and Obama has already won enough support of Demo-cratic senators to sustain his veto.

Under the law that allows Congress to review the Iran deal, lawmakers have until the end of the day Sept. 17 to weigh in on the agreement.

The administration says it will move forward with implementing the deal at that time, even if Congress hasn’t voted on it by then.

Eric Shultz, a White House spokesman, mocked the House’s effort, calling it a “plan hatched up at Tortilla Coast on a Tuesday night.”

The Associated Press re-ported last month that the agreement by the IAEA — which is the United Nations

nuclear watchdog — will allow Iran to use its own experts to inspect a site allegedly used to develop nuclear arms.

The Obama administra-tion has defended this prac-tice, saying IAEA officials will participate in at least some level of inspecting the Parchin nuclear site, and that the agency is following nor-mal protocol used in previ-ous inspections agreements.

The administration has argued the IAEA agreement is separate from the nuclear deal agreed to by the United States and five other world powers. That deal focuses on Iran’s future nuclear actions.

Some opponents of the nuclear deal don’t buy that argument, and their anger has prompted House leader-ship to consider a new plan.

“John Kerry knew if the IAEA negotiated that deal, Mike Pompeo wouldn’t see it, Congress wouldn’t see it, the American people wouldn’t see it,” Pompeo said. “We need to be happy warriors. There are paths for-ward. Congress’ task is to use the tools we are given to stop this terror regime around the world.”

Even if this is just a pro-cess argument, conserva-tives argue the consequences matter.

“The way we go about doing this in the House and Senate is important—the message in the media right now is that the president won,” said Rep. Raul Lab-rador, R-Idaho, of the con-servative House Freedom Caucus. “We were given the Senate for a reason — to stand up to this president — and how can you not stand up at a moment when only 25 percent of the American people support the nuclear deal.”


Jon’s ‘ramblin’s’Getting caught up

My writings for the next month may be short, as I am trying to get my farm work caught up. We had to spray our wheat ground with Roundup, and then wait almost a month before we could work it. So, the next month will be very busy for us. I ask my supporters to be patient. I will get back on track.

I see Hillary is behind Sen. Bernie Sanders at least 10 points in the polls. I don’t know anything about Sen. Sanders. He is an un-known factor. So was Barrack Obama. That alone has me concerned.

My feeling about Hillary is with her problems, she doesn’t have a chance of a belch in a whirlwind.

Trump still has the di-arrhea of the mouth. If he would get elected, his mouth could get us into a shooting war with China, Russia or even North Korea. We don’t need that.

Ted Cruz is still my pick. He is a Christian and is strong on the constitution. That is very important. The present regime has done everything in its power to destroy the constitution and downgrade the morals of our great coun-try.

Ben Carson is also an unknown factor. I don’t look at a man’s color – just the man. A lot of people voted for Obama just because he is black. Big mistake. He is part of the Chicago political machine – a bunch of crooks and thugs, and a lot of them end up in prison. Looks like Biden is going to throw his hat in the presidential race. The man is a complete idiot.

I do like Gov. Bobby Jindal from Louisiana, but I don’t think he has the chance of a belch in a whirlwind.

The bad part of the whole thing is we have to listen to all the folderal for over a year. They are all going to straight-en out the country their first day in office. If you believe that, would you be interested in buying a bridge? I know where you can get one cheap.

GLEN ALLEN, VA.—For one conservative lawmaker, Congress’s upcoming debate on funding the government and stripping Planned Par-enthood of federal dollars could play a significant role in whether a challenge to House Speaker John Boehner is mounted.

In an interview with The Daily Signal, Rep. Dave Brat, R-Va., warned that Boehner’s, R-Ohio, future as the party leader could be jeopardized depending on how he handles both a con-tinuing resolution funding the government and wheth-er Planned Parenthood is permanently stripped of its federal funding.

“I voted against the speak-er last time, and so I think on this motion, it’ll come down to leadership’s actions with respect to the budget,” Brat said, referencing a motion to vacate the chair.

“On that triple threat, if they bail out and just do a [continuing resolution] and don’t handle any of the substantive issues, and they don’t deal with Planned Par-enthood in any way, shape, or form, and the unconsti-tutional amnesty is still not

dealt with, then I think my constituents will put tremen-dous pressure on us to take action on [the motion],” he continued.

The Daily Signal is the multimedia news organization of The Heritage Foundation.

Last month, Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., filed a motion to vacate the chair, a measure of no confidence in the speaker of the House. The tool hasn’t been used in 100 years, and though Meadows’ motion was a warning shot, the North Carolina Repub-lican told The Daily Signal’s Josh Siegel he would be willing to refile the motion, forcing a vote for speaker within two legislative days.

When the last vote for House speaker was held in January, 25 Republicans, including Brat and Mead-ows, did not cast votes for Boehner. Brat said he believes that more Republicans—and their constituents—are now unhappy with leadership’s actions.

“Everybody is back home dealing with their constitu-ents right now,” the Virginia Republican said. “On a fiscal mess, Planned Parenthood mess, amnesty mess, and yeah, there’s rumblings.”

In last year’s Republican primary for Virginia’s 7th Congressional District, Brat, an economics professor at Randolph-Macon College, delivered a historic upset over former Rep. Eric Cantor, who served as House major-ity leader.

Congress returns from a month-long August recess today and will spend the 10 legislative days leading up to Sept. 30 debating how to fund the government. Both the House and Senate passed budget resolutions earlier this year, which directed each chamber to draft and pass 12 appropriations bills funding each federal agency. Howev-er, neither the House nor the Senate has passed all 12.

Instead, Congress is ex-pected to pass a continuing resolution, a stopgap spend-ing measure that funds the government at current levels for a full year or until Decem-ber, when Congress has more time to address the debt ceil-ing and extend the Highway Trust Fund.

Brat, though, is calling for Congress to forgo the con-tinuing resolution and fund the government through regular order.

“I’m against the CR. I want

the normal budget process to go through. I don’t want to break the caps. I don’t want to raise the debt ceiling, and I think the American people voted for Republicans for that exact reason,” he said. “And now, we own both chambers, and they’re wait-ing to see our leadership.”

In addition to working to pass a continuing resolution, leadership is also fielding de-mands from conservatives to attach a rider to the bill strip-ping Planned Parenthood of its federal funding after the Center for Medical Progress released nine videos show-ing officials with the groups allegedly discussing the sale of organs from aborted fetuses.

Should leadership ignore conservatives’ requests, Brat said he “highly doubts” he will vote for the continuing resolution.

“I don’t know what prom-ises are going to be attached [to the CR],” he said. “But I think a lot of us are going to be under enormous pressure to take a look at the promises we made, and kicking the can down the road, it may not be acceptable to the people for a whole host of reasons.”

Will Boehner’s leadership be challenged? Conservative lawmaker says it depends on budget, Planned Parenthood

Three years after ranking 42nd in the nation by the U.S. Chamber of Com-merce’s Institute for Legal Reform (ILR), Oklahoma now places 33rd in a na-tionwide survey of the per-ception of state civil justice systems by top business at-torneys.

“We said at the time that that perception should change with the passage of major reforms in the past few years,” said State Chamber of Oklahoma President and CEO Fred Morgan. “Those reforms had to be redone in 2013 after the Oklahoma Supreme Court struck the

live in a place like this?” Mrs. Carson reflected in an inter-view at her elegant home with Baltimore Magazine. “Of course not. Growing up poor, you try to be a good steward of the money you have.”

What a refreshing change from the arrogant profligacy that has marked the past two presidential terms in Washington. The most com-mon refrain you’ll hear from people who meet the couple is how humble and gracious they are. They’ve made sure to instill the values of thrift, personal responsibility and private philanthropy in their children. Both Carsons em-phasized in our visit their profound concern for their grandchildren’s future, the abandonment of constitu-tional principles, and the fiscal cliff that young genera-tions of Americans now face.

Attitude is everything. The narcissism and nihilism of the Beltway stand in stark contrast to the faith of the Carsons in God, their coun-try and each other. However their political adventure turns out, they are “ready to follow ... whatever He has in store for us next,” Mrs. Car-son writes.

Keep smiling, work hard, be grateful, and play on.

This is what makes America great.

major legislation passed in 2009. The fact that Oklaho-ma’s political leadership stepped forward and passed 23 separate pieces of lawsuit reform legislation shows how seriously we took this issue.”

The latest survey shows we were right. The com-mon-sense lawsuit reforms proposed by Governors Brad Henry and Mary Fallin and adopted by Oklahoma’s legislature in a bi-partisan manner over the years is re-flected in this year’s release of the 2015 Lawsuit Climate Survey: Ranking the States which shows Oklahoma nine

places higher than in 2012. “The objective of the

study is to explore how rea-sonable, fair and balanced the state tort liability sys-tems are perceived to be by general counsel and senior litigators in U.S. business,” said Morgan. “While it takes a while to see changes as a result of lawsuit reform, we are pleased to see these reforms being recognized. We look forward to work-ing with Governor Fallin and legislative leaders to continue the momentum with additional reforms and continue Oklahoma’s march up in the rankings.”

A summer full of bas-ketball for the Kingfi sher Jackets seventh grade team culminated last month at a national tournament in Nebraska.

The Jackets took run-ner-up honors at the State Games of America, which is a competition in Lincoln that features more than 15,000 athletes in various sports.

The team made it to the championship game in the competitive bracket (the highest-levvel bracket in that age group) before losing to the All-Star Athletics.

“To our knowledge, no Kingfisher team has ever competed in a national championship game before,” said Justin Mecklenburg, the team’s head coach. “These boys are truly special; they represented Kingfi sher and Oklahoma extremely well.”

The Jackets qualifi ed for the national competition by winning gold at the Sooner State Games in January.

Team members include Bijan Cortes, Maverick Ride-nour, Mason Mecklenburg,

Braxton Mecklenburg, Kase Simon, Maddox Mecklen-burg, Max Henderson and Jarret Birdwell. Kyle Meck-

lenburg also helps coach the team.

“They made all of us

(parents) who traveled to Nebraska very, very proud,” Justin Mecklenburg said.

That string of wins coach Kyle Karns was wanting from his Kingfi sher High School softball team?

He’s getting it now.The Lady Jackets won their

fi rst two games Thursday at the Highway 81 Classic at Pioneer High School.

Wins of 9-1 over Timber-lake and 9-3 against Pond Creek-Hunter not only kept them unbeaten in the tourna-ment, but pushed the overall win streak to fi ve games.

KHS entered Friday’s tournament action with a 15-8 overall record.

Kaleigh Stolz hit a three-run inside-the-park home run in the opening game against PC-H.

KHS and the Lady Pan-thers were tied 3-3 after three innings before her fourth-inning hit sparked the pull-away win.

Emily Lewis and Dani McNair had two hits apiece and both drove in a run. Anna Crosswhite scored a pair of runs.

McNair allowed fi ve hits

and three earned runs while striking out six in the six-in-ning win.

Against Timberlake, it was Anna Crosswhite who delivered an inside-the-park home run that pushed three runs across.

Her hit down the right fi eld line came in a six-run fi fth inning that allowed KHS to get the run-rule win.

She fi nsihed 2-for-2.Lewis and Erin Hart drove

in two runs apiece. Katelyn Stolz was 2-for-3 and scored twice.

Aly Massey scored twice and drove in a run.

McNair picked up the win by giving up just two hits and striking out six batters.

KHS was set to play Chisholm and Blackwell on Friday before wrapping up the tournament Saturday.

The Chisholm game will also count toward the team’s regular-season conference standings as their game last Tuesday was called due to weather.

had just tied the game with a sacri-fi ce fl y that scored Josh Harris.

Harr i s had reached on an error while Ern-sting and Garrett Schwarz had pre-viously walked, so the Warriors were able to score twice without a

ning run also gave him the victory on the mound as he pitched the fi nal 2 2/3 innings of re-lief. Ernsting gave up four hits and two runs while striking out two.

He relieved Schwarz, who made it through 4 1/3 innings.

He surrendered seven hits, four earned runs and struck out three while walking fi ve.

Okarche took a 4-0 lead after the second inning, but Cimarron scored six unan-swered runs. The Warriors pulled within a run in the sixth inning to set

up the seventh-in-ning charge.

B r u e g g e n , Carter and Ern-sting had two hits apiece. Dal-ton Schwarz was 1-for-2 and drove in two runs while scoring another for the Warriors.

Paul L. Sternberger

Paul L. SternbergerPaul L. Sternberger, 68,

left this life to be with the King on Sept. 4, 2015, after a six-year battle with cancer.

Paul was born on April 9, 1947, in Hardtner, Kan., to Robert and Hazel Stern-berger.

His “Celebration of Life” services will be held on Saturday, Sept. 19th at 10:30 a.m. at Lifeway Church in Kingfisher.

Paul attended Kiowa Public Schools his entire childhood where he gradu-ated with the class of 1965. He cherished his classmates and desired so much to attend the recent 50th class reunion which was held on Sept. 5th. After high school, Paul attended Kan-sas State for a semester and then found a permanent home at Southwestern Okla-homa State University in Weatherford, Okla., where he graduated with an edu-cation degree in 1969.

He married Faye Jenkin-son and they had two chil-dren, Jason Robert and Julie Renae Sternberger.

Paul’s early ambition was to be the best coach that there ever was which can be attributed to the great coaches he had at Kiowa and SWOSU. His first coaching job was in Clinton as an assistant football and track coach. In 1973, Paul accepted his first head coaching job at Blanchard where he stayed for three years. During his tenure at Blanchard, he was selected as the Little All-City coach of the year. The play-ers from those teams always held a special place in his heart and he was so proud of the plaque given to him from the players that still hangs in his office proclaiming him as “The best damn coach Blanchard has ever had.” After that, he accepted the same position at Tecumseh for two years and then on to Elk City for one year. In 1980, Paul got out of educa-tion and pursued different business opportunities that eventually led him to be a regional sales manager for a school furniture company before his retirement.

In 2009, Paul married Lia Turner and they made their home in Trophy Club, Texas.

They enjoyed traveling to Kingfisher, Okla., and bought a house there in 2013 to be near his son and grandsons. Paul loved watching his grandsons’ football games from the field and encouraging them to excel with his experience and loving advice.

Paul loved his “NITWIT” golfing group and other golfing buddies. He and Lia spent wonderful times traveling the United States to be with them and play his favorite courses.

While Paul was in col-lege, he began officiating basketball as a hobby to help support his family. This turned into a magnificent career which eventually led him to officiate in the Big 8, Southwest, Missouri Valley and Western Athletic Con-

ferences for 17 years. He of-ficiated 787 Division I games and when asked about some of the calls, he would quickly tell you that he “got that one right.”

Paul is survived by his wife, Lia Sternberger; one son, Jason Sternberger and wife Jackie of Kingfisher, Okla.; one daughter, Julie Renae of Ada, Okla.; three grandsons, Jace Evan, Jett William and Jaxon Paul Ster-nberger; and four step-chil-dren, Tiffany Dailey and husband Jason of Austin, Texas, Ashley Turner of Aus-tin, Texas, Hunter Turner of Austin, Texas, and Austin Turner of Lubbock, Texas.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the cancer research department at MD Anderson, Development Of-fice Unit 705, P.O. Box 301439 Houston, TX. 77230-1439

“You, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.”

—Psalm 10:14Thoughts on Today’s Verse...

Those who take advantage of people who are powerless, who are down on their luck, or who are in compromising situations, need to know that God sees their actions and will hold them accountable. Those who are in distress must keep their faith in God, trusting that he sees, cares, and will send his help at the right time. Those of us who fit neither category need to be working for the deliverance and blessing of those who are facing difficulties and hardships.

My Prayer...Gracious God, please bless

several people I know who are in times of real distress and heartbreak. Please use me to minister to them. But please, dear Father, fill them with your Spirit so they will have the strength and courage necessary to endure. Bless them with deliverance that is clearly from you, so that all will know your grace and give glory to you. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

State university costs higher than national averageBy J. Scott Moody& WendyWarcholikOkla. Council of Public Affairs

Students across Oklahoma are returning to college campuses, and many are feeling the pinch from higher tuition costs. The dream of going to college in order to secure one’s “dream job” is getting harder and harder for today’s young people to attain thanks to ever-rising tuition costs.

Higher education officials often blame tuition hikes on reduced state appropriations, but could there be other factors in play?

Because Oklahoma’s university system receives state financing, the U.S. Census Bureau keeps track of all types of data on the system. Census datais used to examine the dramatic size and growth in the number of non-instructional workers (per 100 private-sector workers) in Oklahoma’s university system. There are two major points to be gleaned from this chart.

First, Oklahoma’s university system employs 2.72 non-instructional workers, which is a whopping 82 percent higher than the national average, and is the third highest level in the country for 2013 (the latest data available).

Secondly, and even more troubling, the linear growth line shows that the rate of growth in non-instructional workers is higher than the national average.

Overall, this chart strongly suggests that Oklahoma’s policymakers must demand a thorough accounting from university officials as to why the state diverges not only in the size of its non-instructional workforce, but also why it continues to grow faster than the national average.

Economists J. Scott Moody (M.A., George Mason University) and Wendy P. Warcholik (Ph.D., George Mason University) are research fellows at the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs.

By Kate Scanlon Sen. James Lankford sent a let-

ter to the White House Thursday asking the president to clarify his remarks that there will be “conse-quences” for government officials who do not comply with his exec-utive order on immigration.

It was the second attempt Lankford, R-Okla., has made to have President Barack Obama explain his statement.

During remarks at a town hall at Florida International University in February, the president was asked about his executive order in light of a ruling by a U.S. District Court allowing deportations to continue.

“Look, the bottom line is, is that if somebody is working for ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and there is a policy and they don’t follow the policy, there are going to be consequences to it,” he said.

Lankford asked the president a series of questions about his remarks in a letter in February. On Aug. 27, Lankford received a reply from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Director, Sarah R. Saldaña.

Lankford decided to send an-other letter to the president.

In his letter to the president, Lankford wrote:

Not only was the response sent six months after my initial letter, it failed to answer any of the five questions asked.... I am asking these questions again.

What are the specific conse-quences an ICE agent will face if he or she respects the judge’s ruling and fails to follow your policies?

How will the threat and imple-mentation of such consequences impact the already low morale within the Homeland Security Department?

How should agents balance their oath to defend the Constitu-tion with your order to follow pol-icies that a federal court deemed in violation of federal law?

Since you specifically men-tioned the U.S. military in your town hall statement, will conse-quences also ensue for our nations’ servicemembers or other federal employees who fail to follow one of your announced policies, regardless of whether it’s consti-tutional or not?

What written or verbal direc-tion have you given to Secretary Johnson to implement and enforce these consequences? If written communications exist, please pro-vide a copy.

The Daily Signal previously reported that Lankford sent his initial letter to the president short-ly after the town hall in February.

“Immigration enforcement is not a political issue—it is an im-portant national security issue that requires clear direction,” Lankford said in a statement at the time. “Our ICE and DHS families face tremendous pressure; comments like this create more confusion and stress about their responsi-bilities. Federal law enforcement officials should not constantly sec-ond-guess their task as they face dangerous split-second decisions every day. Despite no response from the White House, we will continue to press this matter.”

“Please be assured that the Department takes its obligations to enforce the Nation’s immigra-tion laws very seriously,” Saldaña wrote in her reply. “Our immi-gration system is broken. The priorities established by Secretary Johnson, as part of the executive action, provide direction that enables officers to focus their en-forcement efforts on public safety and national security threats.”

Constitution and the essential liber-ties the document protects.

Aaron Cooper, communication director for the AG’s offi ce, said that Pruitt takes seriously the promise of his oath of offi ce to support, obey and defend the U.S. Constitution.

“General Pruitt is particularly concerned about the overreach of the Obama administration at the federal level in violation of the sep-aration of powers and federalism,” Cooper said.

Pruitt fi led a federal court law-suit challenging the Environmental Protection Agency’s expansion of the Clean Water Act by broadening the defi nition of waters of the U.S. to include “many small streams and ditches, ponds, creeks, wetlands, any waters adjacent to those waters, and waters that are believed to exist within the 100-year fl oodplain of a stream or within 4,000 feet of the

high tide line or high water mark of a stream.”

Pruitt also is challenging the EPA’s power plant rule and other aspects of the agency’s activist agenda and fi led the fi rst lawsuit challenging the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

More recently, he joined U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe in writing an editorial in the Wall Street Journal urging states to initiate, continue and expand trade sanctions against Iran as an av-enue to defeat Obama’s agreement to loosen federal trade sanctions.

Before being elected attorney general, Pruitt served eight years in the Oklahoma State Senate where he was a voice for fi scal responsibil-ity, religious freedom and pro-life issues.

Monday’s program also in-cludes a luncheon for $7, with no charge for fi rst-time guests of KCRW.

though it now has two services each Sunday – at 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m.

The new structure will seat 1,000 congregants.

Although that sounds like a huge auditorium, it features stadi-um seating so that those sitting on the second level will feel that they are close to the podium.

Payne said the church sees its new building as a community facility and it will be available to schools and other organizations for events.

Special features that will be available for the community in-clude a cafe, a library and a play room for kids.

Payne said the church expects the facility to be used by many who are not members of the church as a place to get a cup of coffee and visit.

He speculated the playroom would be especially welcomed by mothers in the winter months when it might be uncomfortable for children to play outside.

Church offi ces will be located under the seating area.

Other members of the church staff include Cameron Hogan, worship pastor; Tonya Payne, women’s pastor; Gene Askey, youth/associate pastor, and Cody Payne, associate pastor. Elders include Kent Kadavy, Bobby Stitt and Justin Mecklenburg.

leave the place...and she plans to go back, possibly as early this fall with a shipping container full of bad-ly-needed supplies.

Delinda also is praying she can take them a tractor to expand the gar-den they use to help feed the orphans in their care. along with some simple farming implements.

Chelsea was with the original trip in 2013.

David and Delinda’s son, Joe, an engineer who lives in Stillwater, went to the mission orphanage last year and helped with a number of construction projects, including building pig pens to help the orphan-age increase its food supply as well as have animals to sell.

He also taught the boys construc-tion skills that will help them fi nd jobs as adults.

Delinda said all of Okarche rallied to help send her on her fi rst mission trip, including making donations at a yard sale held to support the trip.

“St. John’s Lutheran Church menders have been a tremendous support for all of these efforts even though the orphanage and National Community Church in Washington have no connection with them,” Delinda said. “Their hearts are huge.”

Delinda said she is available to speak to groups – civic, church or other – about her trip and the need for additional supplies.

Chelsea may be familiar to many county residents as she previously worked in Congressman Frank Lu-cas’ Washington offi ce.

Currently she is in Iowa working in Dr. Ben Carson’s campaign orga-nization.

Delinda related the mission experience in a thank-you letter to individuals. It follows:

Dear Friends,We want to express our sincere

gratitude for assisting us in working at the Lusungu Children’s Home, Chingola, Zambia, in August. With-out your help, it would not have been possible. This orphanage receives no assistance from any other organiza-tion. Caddie N’gambi, “the bishop,” who was an orphan himself, his wife, Rodah, and daughter, Adonai, have committed their lives to this, and work tirelessly to attend to care for the children. Without the home, the children would be alone, and on the street.

We arrived and the children were excited, waiting for us, singing and clapping. Each morning, they ran to greet us with happy smiles, arms wide open. This is the highlight of their year. We spent each day work-ing and praying with them, teaching them about Jesus, conducting Vaca-tion Bible School, doing construction and repairs, and more.

This is the third visit by mission teams from Chelsea’s church in Washington, D.C. Chelsea has been blessed to be on each visit and has developed precious relationships with the children and Bishop’s family. The previous two years, they have constructed pig pens, chicken build-ings, and purchased animals. The three pigs they purchased on the fi rst visit two years ago have multiplied to 160 pigs, and were either used as food or sold to help make the home self-sustaining. Much of the food is grown in the orphanage’s garden.

This year we were blessed to have had a medical and dental team go with us, and each child received a medical evaluation, physical treat-ment, a fl uoride dental treatment, treatment for parasites, hygiene and dental training. Many of the children had never seen a doctor-dentist before and have many health issues. The medical-dental team and their helpers worked tirelessly. After-wards, Chelsea talked with and prayed with each child.

The team took about 30 large suit-cases of supplies. Each child received clothes, shoes, school supplies, etc. We purchased school supplies, cloth-ing-shoes, medicines, etc., and David supplied veterinary medicines for their animals. The children loved the things we brought, but loved most having us sit with them, reading and teaching them basic skills.

The orphanage feeds at least 115 daily. Children come to the orphan-age to eat who don’t stay there all the time. They all have heart-breaking stories. It is truly a refuge. Their needs are very great. They have very little besides the clothes they have on, no tables or chairs, little furniture. They sit on the dirt ground, and we did too. The children sleep several to a bed. There isn’t enough of any-thing. They are so hungry for love, attention, and affection! Through the week, our hearts were deeply touched, especially when we prayed with them, and cried huge tears. They wanted this most, to have someone pray with them and for them, and tell them about Jesus. This is love from the Lord.

The newest child is Baby Ruth, brought in by the police six weeks ago at two weeks old. She had cried continuously and team members made it a mission to care for this precious angel. Baby Ruth was held and cared for and when we left, she was a completely different child than when we arrived. The last day there, we all worshiped together in a wonderful service. Afterwards, leaving wrenched all our hearts and it felt like we had buried a beloved family member and left a funeral. The children cried and told each of us good-bye. (It was one of the saddest

days of my life and Chelsea had tried to tell me but I had no idea it would be so hard to leave or how much I would grow to love those children. – Delinda)

After a week at the orphanage, we were absolutely spent and ex-hausted. The team went to a quiet place where we could relax together and enjoy a nice meal before parting. Some team members had to get right back, but Chelsea and I were blessed to spend a day at Victoria Falls enjoy-ing the Lord’s creation, and a day in a wildlife preserve before returning home (we paid all expenses for these ourselves, of course). It was good to rest a little, and have time to refl ect before starting the rigorous travel back home.

This was no vacation. The travel and conditions were diffi cult and exhausting and we had a hike each morning and again each evening (ex-hausted) to-from our hostel, and had to cross a contaminated river both ways, but it absolutely was worth it all. Electricity and running water were luxuries, and we had warm water only twice at our hostel while there. Even drinking bottled water, (some) team members got sick, but praise the Lord we stayed well, we believe because we had people at home praying for us – thank you! We returned forever changed and left a piece of our hearts behind. We wish we could tell you all the incredible things that happened!

If we didn‘t believe we were making a real difference, and if we were not certain the Lord had called us to this work, we would not have gone, and we would not have asked for your prayers and support. We are grateful, and cannot thank you enough for your helping hands, your donations, but most of all, your prayers and encouragement.

We encourage everyone to pray the Lord will use you in powerful ways. We did, and this is the won-derful result. We are changed from working with these children, in ways we cannot describe. Some people have no desire to do anything like this, and that’s fi ne – God uses us all in different ways, but it means so much to know we have brothers and sisters in Christ like you, who stand with us and help us do this work. You are the hands of Christ!

Cashion Board of Trustees voted to borrow $400,000 from the Public Works Authority trust fund to repay outstanding revenue bonds after the early repayment was approved by town voters at a special meeting Aug. 27.

Only 28 citizens participated in the vote, with 17 voting in favor of the early payout and 11 voting no.

Former mayor Freddie Baker spoke against the early repayment.

Baker told the Times and Free PressFriday that she supported the idea of repaying the bonds early when she was Mayor, but now she’s concerned about what she sees as a pattern of fi scal irresponsibility under the current town administration.

The special town meeting was called by the town board to bring the repayment question to a town-wide vote.

The town had been paying $70,000 annually to service the bond debt, which would not have been retired until October 2022.

Trustees are required to begin repaying the $400,000 borrowed from the fund at the rate of $2,000 per month beginning in November 2016.

Town officials attending the special meeting included Mayor Troy Chitsey, trustees Joe Knopp, Greg Morrissey and Kay Davis, clerk-treasurer Donna Barker and assistant Jana Mays and Bill Moyer, town consultant.

At the trustee meeting following the town meeting, trustees accepted the resignation of trustee Judy How-ry, effective Aug. 12, and appointed Cara Raney to fi ll the vacant position until the next regularly scheduled biennial town meeting in April 2017, with Chitsey, Morrissey and Davis voting yes.

Knopp voted against Raney’s appointment.

In Re the Marriage of:AMY JEAN MURILLO, Petitioner,vs.ENRIQUE ALBERTO MURILLO,Respondent.

No. FD-2015-52PETITION FOR

DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGECOMES NOW Petitioner, AMY JEAN MURILLO, and for cause of action against the Respondent alleges and states as follows:

1. Petitioner is now and has been for more than six months an actual, good faith resident of the State of Oklahoma and a good faith resident of Kingfisher County, Oklahoma for more than thirty days prior to the filing of this proceeding.

2. Petitioner and Respondent were married on or about May 18, 2011, in Hennessey, Oklahoma and have been husband and wife since said date.

3. The parties have no minor children and Petitioner is not now pregnant.

4. As grounds for divorce Petitioner alleges that a state of complete and irreconcilable incompatibility has arisen between the parties hereto which has completely destroyed the legitimate aims of the marriage of the parties and rendered its continuation impossible by reason of which the Petitioner is entitled to a decree of divorce from the Respondent.

5. During the marriage the parties have acquired certain real and personal property. and debts which the Court should divide equitably. The Court should determine and set over to the appropriate

party any property owned separately by these parties.

6. The parties have lived separately for several years. Respondent has relocated to Mexico and Petitioner has no information regarding Respondent’s whereabouts. Petitioner would request an order of the court authorizing notice by publication to Respondent.

WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays that upon hearing this cause, the Court grant and award Petitioner an absolute divorce from Respondent, an order dividing the property and debt accumulated by the parties and setting over to the appropri-ate party any separate property owned by such person, and such other and further relief to which the Petitioner may be entitled and which may be deemed just and proper by the Court. .
