Legislation was introduced to the state House and Senate that would consolidate three Oklaho-ma Department of Juvenile Affairs Centers.
OJA Executive Director Steven Buck said in a statement that the legislation tasks the orga-nization, Oklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services or OMES and Commissioners of the Land Office with analyzing the most cost effective strategy to consolidate three institutions.
If House Bill 2387 passes, it would consolidate the Central Oklahoma Juvenile Center or COJC, the Oklahoma Juvenile Center for Girls and the Southwest Oklahoma Juvenile Center and a new center would be built on the COJC property in Tecumseh.
The bill reads in part, “Concurrent with the OJA campus consolidation process as contemplated by this act, OJA is directed to develop, in collabora-tion with other executive branch agencies and such other entities as OJA deems necessary in furtherance of the requirements of this act, plans for the re-purposing of the Southwest Oklahoma Juvenile Center and the Oklahoma Juvenile Center for Girls campuses.”
OJA deputy director of communications Tierney Tinnin said the bill allows the organization to analyze which of two options is the best funding source for the consolidation.

Sheriff races in Fallen Hero 50By Kathleen [email protected]
Lincoln County Sheriff Charlie Dougherty drove in a race honoring five fallen law enforcement officers from Oklahoma that occurred this year. The race was held at 7:30 p.m. May 26 at the Red Dirt Raceway in Meeker.
The race, aptly named
the Fallen Hero 50, is a 50-lap race that honored Tecumseh Officer Justin Terney, Sac and Fox Nation Officer Nathan Graves, Tillman County Sheriff’s Deputy Rick Guill, Logan County Sheriff’s Deputy David Wade and Craig County Sheriff’s Deputy Sean Cookson.
Before the race, friends
and family members of the five fallen heroes were allowed to take pho-tos with the car.
Dougherty drove the race car that honored the five Oklahoma law enforcement officers.
Track owner Cody Brewer organized The Fallen Hero 50 and Dougherty said that when he heard about it,
he wanted to race in it.“When Cody sent me
the schedule for this year, I said fallen heroes race, if I had a car I’d race that,” Dougherty said. “That was where it all started.”
Dougherty’s 911 spe-cialty car was donated for the event. The Fallen

Local bank debit cards compromisedBy Kathleen [email protected]
Several Frazer Bank customers in Frederick reported May 23 that their debit cards were duplicated in New York, according to bank Public Relations Officer Rollann Horschler in Altus.
But she said that the breach was not at the bank.
“Their [customers’] financial information was not stolen,” Horschler said. “Their social security numbers, their account numbers, all that
kind of stuff — none of their information that Frazer Bank is responsi-ble for was stolen. Their debit cards have been compromised and that happens to people unfor-tunately all the time.”
Horschler explained that when breaches hap-pen at stores where the debit cards were used, their card information can be stolen.
“I’m sure you heard about when Target had that big compromise,” Horschler said. “Several people’s debit cards were compromised. What
happens is, you use your debit card somewhere and that place has a security breach somehow or other, either some-one hacking into their systems or an employee stealing the card num-bers.”
Frazer Bank uses fraud detection software called eNFACT.
“We use a system called eNFACT and it just continuously sends us reports on potential fraud on debit cards,” Horschler said. “It has this b ig system that runs every transaction and
when it gets to a certain number then that system thinks this could be fraud and we see it on a report, and that’s what happened to these people.
“A lot of the fraudulent transactions lately have been happening in New York. For example, some-one in Tipton will get a report that says their card has been used in Manhattan or wherever, so we contact them and tell them that their card has been compromised and we shut that card down and issue them a new one,” she said.
Horschler also said their customers haven’t lost any money because Visa guarantees zero liability on the card holder.
“If our customers want to be a little more vigi-lant on their own, they can download an app on their phone called Card-Valet,” Horschler said. “They just have to reg-ister their card numbers and they will be notified any time anything is trying to use their card. They would probably know even faster than we would know if some-
one was doing some-thing fraudulent.”
CardValet is available on the Google Play store on Android devices and the App store on Apple devices.
Horschler said she wants the public to know that Frazer Bank takes protecting customer pri-vacy very seriously and there have several dif-ferent programs in place to ensure the protection of customer’s personal information.

OBITUARY
MARIA DEL CARMEN BARNETT
A memorial service for Maria Del Car-men Barnett, age 84 of Wichita Falls, Texas was scheduled for 2 p.m., Friday, May 26, 2017 with the Rev. Roy Newman officiating at Jackson Funeral Home Chapel in Frederick under the direction of Jackson Funeral Home.
Mrs. Barnett passed away Sunday afternoon, May 21, 2017 in Fred-erick.
Maria Del Carmen Barnett was born Dec. 7, 1932 in Alice, Texas to Felix and Maria (Gomez) Valadez.
She graduated from Alice High School in 1952 and later attended college. She was united in marriage to James William Barnett on June 2, 1963 in Pasadena, Texas.
He preceded her in death Dec. 11, 1998.
She had worked at Sheppard Inn at Shep-pard Air Force Base as a hotel housekeeper for 20 years. Mrs. Barnett was of Catholic faith.
She is survived by five sons, Felix Valadez of Midland, Mich., Joa-quin Valadez of Wichita Falls, Michael Barnett and his wife Cherie of San Antonio, Daniel Barnett of Houston, and Steven Matthew Barnett of Wichita Falls; one daughter Maria Teresa De La Cruz and her husband Adam of Frederick; 17 grand-children and 40 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, one son Mark Anthony Barnett, and one daughter-in-law Kimberly Valadez.
An online guest book is available at www.jack-sonfuneral.net.
Hero 50 was the first event of its kind at Red Dirt Raceway. Dougherty didn’t know all of the offi-cers personally but he did know Graves.
“Nathan (Graves) was a Sac and Fox offi-cer right over here at Stroud,” Dougherty said. “We were all real close. Nathan was a cross-com-missioned deputy with us and he took a lot of calls with us. We considered him one of ours.”
Lincoln County Deputy Tanner Hand said that Graves was always there whether you asked or not.
“He was always up here helping us,” Hand said. “He was a great friend and he’d do anything for you. It’s hard without him here.”
Many family members
of the five honored offi-cers were present at the race, including Guill’s sons and grandsons.
Michael Guill said it was an honor to have his father remembered.
“It was an honor to have our father remem-bered along with these other heroes in law enforcement,” he said. “Sheriff Dougherty repre-sented his brothers very well and I believe I speak for everyone when I say it was very appreciated.”
Dougherty finished the race in 13th place.
“I would like thank everyone who came out to the race track last night,” Dougherty said in a Facebook post. “Fin-ished 13th and nothing tore up, just one small dent. Great night and was honored to drive the race for five great guys that gave it all. Thanks for them.”

“If passed by March 18th, we’ll have to make a recommendation to the governor if bonding is the best way which would be up to $45 million,” Tinnin said. “The other part, which hasn’t been done before in the state, is we would transfer the land over to the commis-sioners of the land office for our Tecumseh facility. They would then find a bidder to purchase the land at fair market value and pay for construction. We would then sublease to pay it back. It’s not any new appropriations that we’re asking for in the bill, but to find which way would be the best value for the state, to get us to the consolidation.”
Jesse Gomez, deputy superintendent of the Southwest Oklahoma Juvenile Center in Mani-
tou said that of course no one is overjoyed about the possibility of the cen-ter closings.
“What I’ve asked my staff is to give a wait and see, because we don’t know the timeline,” Gomez said. “They may find out that this is way too expensive, the tax payers may decide this is not what they want to put their money into. What we don’t want is people to panic and then the flood gates will be opened, especially the young staff who are just getting started in their careers. We don’t want them to run out and find another job because we don’t know that this will happen.”
Gomez also said it’s already hard to recruit teachers and mental health professionals and with the uncertainty of the center’s future, they can’t afford to lose the staff that they have in place.
“Our worry is that they will think about the doom and gloom, the sky is falling, and they’ll run out of here,” Gomez said. “It will make our job more difficult to replace those profes-sionals. If you look at our merits, we’ve done a good job through the years so sometimes the staff resents the fact that we’ve never had anyone come bail us out. We were always the ones to go bail someone else out, so for this to happen, it cuts deep. It remains to be seen what’s going to happen here.”
Leticia Sanchez, prin-cipal of the SOJC Okla-homa Youth Academy Charter School, said that even if this legislation was signed into law now, it would still take time to move forward with the consolidations.
“Let’s pretend that it is for sure today,” Sanchez said. “You’re still not going to see any move-
ment for three to five years, because you’ve still got to analyze the best option, put out construction bids, and turn the dirt to actually build it. We’re looking at years. And that’s if it was passed today but we’re not anywhere close to that.”
Buck said that the legislative process will continue and even if passed there will still be much work to do with analyzing which plan is the best fit.
“What we have right now is legislation, not law. Because we have a time period that pres-ents some uncertainty, I understand the fear and concern this will bring,” Buck said. “It is the responsibility of the OJA leadership team to keep you informed of changes, decisions and the next steps in this process.”

Staff Report
Donations are still rolling in, but 1,907 pounds of food have been collected in Freder-ick as part of the Letter Carriers’ Food Drive.
On May 13 letter car-riers in more than 195 central and western Oklahoma cities helped “Stamp Out Hunger” by collecting donations from residents on their mail routes.
In Frederick, dona-

I love to read opinionsIn 20 days it will be a
year since I started work-ing at the Press-Leader.
I’ve learned a lot about journalism in the last year. My degree is in English, so I didn’t take as many of the journal-ism classes as someone whose major was journal-ism. Even though I’ve learned a lot, I still ask questions before think-ing and the answer is
usually, “What does the AP stylebook say?”
Yes, there is a book of rules for journalism, and one day I will remem-ber to check there before shooting off an email to some-one with a question that I could easily find the answer to myself.
I was thinking about my first year at the Press-Leader and trying to decide what my favorite story has been thus far and while I can’t really choose any one story as my favor-ite, I did decide that I really love writing reviews.
Before I started working
here, I’d only written one review before and it was about a book.
Working for the news-paper has given me quite a few opportunities to write reviews on events that I attended and I think my top two favor-ites are the high school and middle school musi-cals. I love highlighting

Editorial
It’s amazing to me where the mind can go some-times.
I often wonder if it’s what the psychologists call inner wisdom, what the naturalists call mother
nature or what the theologians call the Holy Spirit.
I was kneeling in prayer at church last weekend and the congregation entered into a few minutes of silence.
You could have heard a pin drop in the building except for an occasional child fidgeting in the pews, but all was relatively quiet until something special happened.
One of God’s creations — a song bird outside — piped up and began doing his thing.
Here we were, trying to focus on our own con-cepts of a higher power and this bird was really going to town, merrily chirping and clicking for all his worth — just doing what the good Lord intended him to do.
Now maybe this winged soloist might not have known we were inside silently praying or maybe it was the Spirit working through him to let us know to be happy and do whatever it is that God put us on this earth to do.
My thoughts drifted almost immediately to my Dad who is no longer with us on this earth. He was always fascinated by flight and was an avid bird-watcher and proud member of the Audubon Society.
Whether the bird was there to remind me of him or whether it was his spirit working through that creature, I don’t know. You can believe what you want to believe.
I only know that my mind went back to my childhood with him — more than a few short years ago.
I was just entering Boy Scouts and my Dad and I were going through a chest in the attic with some of his old camping gear. It would seem ancient by today’s standards — much of it old military surplus with traditional “shelter halves.”
He was an accomplished Eagle Scout and he paused when he pulled out his old merit badge sash literally filled with small circles attesting to all his accomplishments. Many years later, after he passed away, I read his own account of that day. He paused with a faraway look in his eyes at the memory of the scout camp that summer, when he just started doing good things and got in such a groove that he surpassed all his wildest dreams.
When I was a child we used to drive from where we lived in Northern Virginia to Washing-ton National Airport — what is now call Reagan National Airport — and park outside the fence near the end of the runway and watch the jets take off.
He also was an Aviation Explorer Scout — which was something relatively new in his child-hood. He shared with me that when he was a child, whenever they heard a plane flying over-head, the entire family would run outside to mar-vel at this new technological marvel.
I also learned a bit about his father’s memories.With a distinctly German last name, my grand-
father came to this country as a child between the two World Wars. As a young doctor he strung up a shortwave radio antennae as long as a clothesline in his back yard and listened to some of Adolf Hit-ler’s propaganda speeches.
My grandfather called him a “madman” many times, shaking his head in disbelief and disgust.
He was so dedicated to his adopted country, the United States, that he used to give physicals for people going into the military in Chicago to fight against Hitler during World War II.
I actually met someone when I was stationed in Monterey, California who knew him — someone my grandfather processed into the Army.
But as World War II progressed, my grandfather received death threats from those who identified his German heritage and he had to take his wife — my grandmother, a nurse — and his two young sons — my dad and uncle — and move to rural Wisconsin where it was safer than the big city.
It was there he was exposed to tuberculosis from a patient and tragically, his career from that point forward was limited to treating patients afflicted with the disease, which was rapidly on the decline.
He didn’t talk much about it and never sought repayment for the “injury” to his career, earning potential and his family.
That’s just the way we were taught — to over-come obstacles and not to complain about them. To be successful despite the challenges, not to be defined as a victim of them.
One memory of Chicago my grandfather did share, is that he could remember a time when there were more horse-drawn wagons on the street than there were motorcars.
Makes me think of some of my lifetime memo-ries — our first black and white television with

We have been commissioned for the gatherTHEIR VIEW
As followers of Christ, we have been commis-sioned for the gather. I have previously writ-ten about the harvest and gathering strays. It is important stuff. We are to go to all places and gather lost folks to Christ, making them his followers. We are to bap-tize these followers in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We are
to teach them to observe all of his commandments. And we can know that he will always be with us. (See Matt 28:18-20)
So why do we want to make such a gather so com-plicated? And why do those some of those we are to gather resist with such
fervor? After all, Jesus came to save.
Some among his followers make the idea of the gather complicated so we don’t have to do it. But why would we not want others to be his followers? Are we too busy? Are we lazy? Do we not understand?
Have we given in to the
devil’s deceptions?These are all are good
questions. Let’s look at it a little closer at this com-mission our Lord has set forth.
If you have ever been to the Oklahoma City stockyards, you may have noticed there are several commission companies. They act as the agent

Watching storms is normal in OklahomaTHEIR VIEW
It’s no secret that Oklahoma is in the dead middle of tornado alley. Just a few weeks ago we had one of our first tornado watches of the storm season.
Personally, I’ve always liked the early summer months because the storm watches just add into the pleasant memories I’ve had as a
child. I’m not sure how the memories became associated with the adjective “pleasant,” but they have. May is the best time of the year for many reasons. My birthday, prom, golf season, graduations and the excitement of
a good storm rolling in.
I never thought about it but I guess that might be a weird per-spective for some-one who’s not from Oklahoma. It really hit me when I invited my friend over to watch the storms
with me. He happens to be from California and so he logically turned down my invitation for the sake of “staying safe within his own home.” I tried to explain that it was safe to be in the middle of nowhere watching storms but it just wasn’t clicking with him. I laughed when I realized

Stigler Act Amendment introducedTHEIR VIEW
U.S. Rep. Tom Cole (R-Moore) released the following statement after introducing the Stigler Act Amendment of 2017, along with other Okla-homa U.S. Reps. Frank Lucas (R-Yukon), Mark-wayne Mullin (R-Stil-well) and Steve Russell (R-Del City).
This legislation amends the Stigler Act
of 1947, which restricts Native American allot-ted land to only persons of ½ degree of Native American blood heritage.
The Dawes Act of 1887 authorized the federal govern-ment to survey tribal lands and
divide them into allotted parcels for individual Native Americans. Title to these allotment par-cels was set forth in the “Stigler Act of 1947.” The Stigler Act provides that, upon probate, if the heirs and devisees of an original allot-tee from the Five
Tribes (Chickasaw, Choc-taw, Seminole, Creek and Cherokee) have passed out of ½ degree Native American blood, the allotment loses its “restricted free” status. Restricted land is not subject to state taxation. Federal law does not dic-tate a minimum Native

rabbit ears we had when I was a very young child. It could pick up only a couple of stations that were only on during the day — morning through evening.
I remember where I was as a child when President John F. Kennedy was killed, I remember watching the first men on the moon
on our old-fashioned console color television and, of course, I remember where I was during the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
Technology has come a long way since we used to spend 20 minutes uploading a program from a cassette tape onto a stand-alone computer, not to mention the now obsolete 5 1/4-inch true “floppy” disks and later the 3.5-inch versions.
One of my coworkers was a real computer
master because he had one of the first Apple computers and my mom, an civil engineer, was the first on the block with a “new” IBM desktop computer that sported a “massive” 1 MB hard drive.
I remember the first few attempts at a Windows environment. Before that, you could only run one computer program at a time. The internet was a very clumsy dial-up version at first and now I think
sometimes it’s a little too fast.
I still laugh at the old “bag” phones that were the predecessors to the cellphones that morphed into the flip phones and later the smartphones.
Ironically, nostalgia brings me to a scene from a science fiction movie called “Blade Runner” and near the end, one of the “Replicants” — manmade super people with artificially short lives — recounts his memories as he faces his own mortality.
In the film, the
replicant Roy Batty portrayed by Rutger Hauer makes this “tears in the rain” monologue to Harrison Ford’s character Deckard, during a downpour, moments before Batty’s death.
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die,” he said.
The point I’m trying
to make, is it’s important to talk with the more mature members of society and document their stories before they’re all gone. I have photos, paintings and writings from ancestors I don’t even know. Those are some of my regrets.
Maybe someday in retirement I’ll get the time to do a real genealogy study and write my own humble memories in history for future generations.
It’s on my bucket list.

to buy and sell your cat-tle. We pay them to take care of selling our calves for us. In other words, they have been commis-sioned to do a job.
It’s like when a riding club or similar organi-zation commissions a saddlemaker to make a saddle for the all-around prize at their rodeo. Someone with the OK to do so gives the
maker the authorization to make the saddle as ordered.
In the same way, Jesus commissions each one of us, as his followers, to go and, under his leadership, develop new followers for Christ.
As followers of Jesus Christ — we are com-missioned to do the same thing. Under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, we are to lead others to Christ. That is our great commission.
Why do we do it? What is our incentive?
Aren’t we already goin’ to heaven anyway?
God is love. He teach-es us that we are to love others in the same way he first loved us.
Jesus went to the cross because of love, and it’s that same love that brings us to be obe-dient to accomplishing this commission that he set forth. If we don’t have the love needed to fulfill such a com-mission, then we don’t know Christ. We do it because of love. God is love and I reckon we
must imitate that love.“If I speak with the
tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am noth-ing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.” —
1 Corinthians 3:1-3We must go and gather
‘em much like cowboys gatherin’ the herd.
But many are caught up in their own little Christian corrals. We won’t find any strays there. We are to go out into the world. So others can receive the gift of salvation according to his grace. He will show us the ones who need to hear, so pay attention.
And be flexible. God often calls you out of your comfort area to share with someone you
would never choose in a land you’d never go. You may be a good judge of bovines or equine but it is not for us to judge mankind. So go and make disciples, baptizin’ and teachin’ God’s ways. Jesus lives. Follow him. Share his love.
Choose Jesus and choose life. Find a church where you “fit in” and serve him and grow in Christ. See y’all at church and keep prayin’ for his harvest. Amen

he wouldn’t understand because he didn’t grow up in storm central like I did. A few hours later we were texting and I asked him what he was doing. He was sitting in his living room watching the weather. I welcomed him to Oklahoma.
I suppose storm watching is something
my family has done for years. While visiting my grandparents the other day, my mother and aunt began talking back through all the big storms they remember. Aunt Loyce said there was a huge tornado in 1973, just weeks before she and my Uncle Steve got married. He was in Birmingham and she was still in Manitou with my Grandma and Grandpa. The tornado is a famous one in Till-man County because
it destroyed Frederick. Loyce said she remem-bered it completely lev-eled the nursing home just across the street from her in-laws. Amaz-ingly, all of the patients survived but the build-ing around them was in shambles. She remem-bered holding Aunt Lily’s hand in the hospi-tal afterwards. She was mildly hurt but that was all. Everyone concluded that this was nothing short of a miracle of God’s own hand.
Grandpa had some great storm stories too. He said his daddy’s dad wouldn’t go into the cellar unless it was hail-ing, so in order to get him down there quicker, Grandpa’s dad would throw rocks on the side of the house to make it seem like it was hailing outside.
Grandpa also remem-bered hearing stories about the tornado that hit Snyder in 1905. His daddy was in the corn field plowing when
Grandma Hoover told him about the storm. He immediately went to Snyder to help dig graves for the 90 people that had died. The city tried to pay him and the other volunteers $2 each for their services, but his daddy wouldn’t take it.
After a good 20 minutes of storm talk between my mother, my aunt, my grandpa and me, I realized that storm watching isn’t just in my blood. It’s one of those
human instincts that we can’t outgrow or over-come with technology. Basic life says we have to tolerate the weather. When the weather is big and bad and memo-rable, it sticks with us. We remember where we were, what we saw and how we felt. You call it a crazy Okie ritual, I call it living life in the world around us.

American blood degree requirement for any other tribe.
The Stigler Act Amend-ment of 2017 seeks to amend the original Sti-gler Act, and remove the ½ degree requirement of Native American blood. In doing so, it would provide the opportunity
for heirs and devisees to take title to the land, and allow the parcel to maintain its “restricted” status. This legislation will also create parity in federal law in the treatment of Native American-allotted land by removing minimum blood degree require-ment for solely the Five Tribes.
“Introducing this amendment to the Stigler Act will allow for past precedent to be current with the realities of Native-

Today is Thursday, June 1, the 152nd day of 2017. There are 213 days left in the year.
Today’s highlights in history:
It was 50 years ago today — June 1, 1967 — that the Beatles album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” was released, as was David Bowie’s debut album, eponymously titled “David Bowie.”
On this date:In 1792, Kentucky
became the 15th state.In 1796, Tennessee
became the 16th state.In 1813, the mortally
wounded commander of the USS Chesapeake, Capt. James Lawrence, gave the order, “Don’t give up the ship” dur-ing a losing battle with the British frigate HMS Shannon in the War of 1812.
In 1868, James Buchan-an, the 15th president of the United States, died near Lancaster, Pennsyl-vania, at age 77.
In 1917, the song “Over There” by George M. Cohan was published by William Jerome Pub-lishing Corp. of New York.
In 1927, Lizzie Borden, accused but acquitted of the 1892 ax murders of her father, Andrew, and her stepmother, Abby,
died in Fall River, Massa-chusetts, at age 66.
In 1943, a civilian flight from Portugal to England was shot down by Ger-many during World War II, killing all 17 people aboard, including actor Leslie Howard.
In 1957, Don Bowden, a student at the Uni-versity of California at Berkeley, became the first American to break the four-minute mile during a meet in Stockton, Califor-nia, in a time of 3:58.7.
In 1977, the Soviet Union formally charged Jewish human rights activist Anatoly Shcharansky with trea-son. (Shcharansky was imprisoned, then released in 1986; he’s now known by the name Natan Sharansky.)
In 1980, Cable News Network made its debut.
In 1997, Betty Shabazz, the widow of Malcolm X, was severely burned in a fire set by her 12-year-old grandson in her Yonkers, New York, apartment (she died three weeks later). The Chicago Tri-bune published a make-believe commencement speech by columnist Mary Schmich which urged graduates to, among other things, “wear sunscreen” (the essay ended up being wrongly attributed online to author Kurt Vonne-gut).
In 2009, Air France Flight 447, an Airbus
A330 carrying 228 people from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean with the loss of everyone on board.
Ten years ago: The FDA warned con-
sumers to avoid using toothpaste made in China because it might contain a poisonous chemical used in antifreeze. Kid-napped British journalist Alan Johnston appeared in a videotape posted on an Islamic website, the first time he was seen since being abducted nearly three months ear-lier in Gaza. (Johnston was freed July 4, 2007.) Assisted suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian walked out of a Michigan prison, where he’d spent eight years for ending the life of a man suffering from Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Five years ago: A judge in Sanford, Florida, revoked the bond of the neighborhood watch vol-unteer charged with mur-dering Trayvon Martin and ordered him returned to jail within 48 hours, saying George Zimmer-man and his wife had misled the court about how much money they had available when his bond was set at $150,000. (George Zimmerman was ultimately acquitted of the murder charge; Shell-ie Zimmerman pleaded guilty to perjury and was sentenced to a year’s probation and commu-nity service.) The U.N.’s top human rights body voted overwhelmingly to condemn Syria over the slaughter of more than 100 civilians; Syria’s most important ally and protector, Russia, voted against the measure by the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva. Johan Santana pitched the first no-hitter in New York Mets history in an 8-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.
One year ago:After killing his
estranged wife in a Min-neapolis suburb, a former UCLA student drove from Minnesota to Los

the events of children, and I also love watching musicals. It’s a win-win for me.
My second favorite thing to write is my column. The rules for columns are much more relaxed. I can write in the first person (I) or second person (you) for starters. I can be as creative as I want. It’s also opinion — my thoughts and feelings on any range of subjects.
I can even write short stories, like the ones I’ve written about my dad’s Navy career, or I can talk about an event that hap-pened to me that day.
Like today when I was at the courthouse, I saw Randy Hasley. I was try-ing to catch up to him to see if he had any weather news to share, and I walked in the doors and he was gone. I thought to myself as I looked around, wow, he’s fast. Where did he go? I kept walking towards the stairs and he jumped out and scared the living daylights out
of me. I’d like to say it only scared me because I wasn’t expecting it, but the truth is, even if I was expecting it, it still would have scared me.
For those of you who may not know, Randy is the guy who keeps us weather aware in Tillman County and he does a great job, when he’s not trying to give me a heart attack.
When I was younger, before social media, there was the opinion page in the newspaper. My dad always said I have an old soul and I guess he’s cor-
rect. I used to read the newspaper whenever I could as a child, and the opinion page was always the first section I turned to. I enjoyed reading the anecdotes and stories that would never fail to entertain me.
It seems that not many people today know that there is an opinion sec-tion in the paper. They’re surprised and even a little angry when they start reading the columns and they’re about the author or the author’s family and they’re not a news story about something that
happened in town.This job has definitely
pushed me outside of my comfort zone. I’m not an introvert, but I do have some introverted tenden-cies. I enjoy being alone and can get lost in a book for hours. I’m outgoing and friendly when I do go out and interact with peo-ple, very extroverted, but given the choice between going out and staying home, I would choose staying home every time. Now I go out all the time covering events for the paper and I’m glad that I chose to pursue journal-
ism as my career.I would definitely
agree with my dad that I have an old soul. Along with the newspaper, I also enjoy(ed) watching the Lawrence Welk Show and cross stitching. All pursuits that I still enjoy today. Even though I’ve read most of what’s in the paper every week, I still pick up a physical copy and re-read every-thing because a screen will never compare to the feel of a paper in my hand.

owned, restricted land,” Cole said. “Many of Oklahoma’s citizens have passed out of ½ blood lineage, but remain vested to their Native American heritage. Removing the ½ blood degree prerequisite and expanding its range to any degree will help preserve the rights and legacy of Native American tribes and their inheritance.”
“As Native Americans, we take great pride in our
heritage and the land that our ancestors maintained before us,” Mullin said. “The Stigler Act Amendment would allow Natives to pass on their restricted land to future generations who may not meet the ½ blood degree requirement. I appreciate Congressman Cole for putting forward this legislation to ensure that members of the Five Tribes who seek to carry on their ancestors’ heritage can continue to preserve restricted status of their land and reap all of the benefits that
come along with it.”“The Stigler Act
Amendment of 2017 protects the sovereignty and heritage of our Native Americans in Oklahoma,” Russell said. “Through time many of our tribal members have passed out of the blood degree prerequisites allowing taxation of tribal businesses. This bill would fix this issue and allow tribal heritage and sovereignty to continue to grow and thrive in Oklahoma.”

Act Pedestrian hit in Comanche CountyBy Kathleen [email protected]
A pedestrian was injured when he was hit by a car in Comanche County.
A 17-year-old female driving a Ford Mustang hit 19-year-old Zachary F. Hoe-nike, when he allegedly darted across the highway in front of her at about 1:50 p.m. May 28 about three miles north of Medicine Park, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
The victim was transported by Emer-gency Medical Services to Comanche County Memorial Hospital where he
was admitted in fair condition with head, arm, leg and other external inju-ries.
The cause of collision is listed as pedestrian action, according to an OHP report.
The accident was investigated by OHP Trooper Brent Lankisterof the Caddo County detachment of Troop G.
The Comanche County Sheriff ’s Department, Lawton Police Department and the Paradise Valley Fire Depart-ment assisted in the investigation.

Staff Report
OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Oil and Gas Association or OKOGA praised the final passage of the Oklahoma Energy Jobs Act of 2017, SB 867, leg-islation to cut outdated red tape restricting long-lateral drilling practices to only shale formations, a restriction not seen in any other energy pro-ducing states. The legis-lation now heads to the governor’s desk.
The Oklahoma Energy Jobs Act was authored by President Pro Tempore Mike Schulz (R-Altus) and
House Speaker Charles McCall (R-Atoka), and it received broad industry support from OKOGA, Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association or OIPA and Coalition of Oklahoma Surface and Mineral Owners or COSMO.
The Oklahoma Tax Commission estimates this will provide $19 million in additional tax revenue in fiscal year 2018.
“Help is on the way, Oklahoma,” Chad Warmington, president of OKOGA, said. “With final passage of the Oklahoma Energy Jobs
Act, the oil and natural gas industry can more quickly lead the state to a full recovery. This bill allows the industry to create more Oklahoma jobs, grow the economy with more capital invest-ments, and generate additional tax revenue through increased drill-ing activity. It took five years of negotiating language to update Okla-homa’s oil and gas laws to keep our state com-petitive with innovation in drilling practices seen nationwide.
“OKOGA appreciates the leadership of Presi-dent Pro Tempore Mike
Schulz and Sen. Bryce Marlatt (R-Woodward) as well as House Speak-er Charles McCall and Rep. Weldon Watson (R-Tulsa) who carried this bill through ses-sion. It is because of their leadership that this bill is now heading to the governor’s desk. If this is signed into law, Oklahoma will no lon-ger be the only state to restrict long lateral drill-ing based on a geologic formation. The Okla-homa Energy Jobs Act received broad industry support, and includes important protections for vertical well opera-
tors, of which OKOGA member companies own or have interest in more than 10,000 of these wells. Congratulations to the 56th Legislature for passing the largest eco-nomic development bill of the session,” Warm-ington said.
Should the Oklahoma Energy Jobs Act become law, the industry expects the state will see the following benefits within the first year of full implementation:
* Generates $490 million in additional royalty payments. With the School Land Trust the largest royalty owner
in Oklahoma, this will generate roughly $26.5 million in new direct funding for Oklahoma’s public schools, colleges and universities.
* Generates $230 million in additional state and local revenue directly from oil and natural gas industry activity.
* Creates an additional 5,900 oil and natural gas jobs that will support 13,700 indirect Oklahoma jobs.
* Fuels $5.8 billion in additional direct and indirect economic activity in Oklahoma’s communities.

Little League season begins
By Ryan [email protected]
When Western Okla-homa State College women’s basketball coach Eddie Broughton took over the team last summer, he inherited a program with a 9-71 record over a three-season.
But in just one season, he matched that win total with a 9-19 record this year and seeks to completely change the program for future sea-sons by building top tal-ent in the offseason.
Broughton plans to share his knowledge of basketball with area youth to instill the importance of funda-mentals at his Basketball Summer Skills Camp.
“The camp will focus on fundamentals and skill work and will benefit any boy or girl looking to advance their skills in the game of basketball,” Broughton said. “(Athletes) will be instructed by myself and assistant coach Lean-dra Johnson while also getting an opportunity to meet, interact and receive help from WOSC
basketball players.”At the camp, there
will be fundamental sta-tions set up for children to learn and practice shooting techniques, dribbling, passing, ball handling and defense.
Through instruction from Broughton and Johnson, attendees can
expect to learn how to play basketball the cor-rect way and get a leg up on the competition with quality instruction from college level coaches and players.
The camp is sched-uled to take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. July 11-15 and is open to all
girls and boys between the ages of eight and 17. The camp is to be at the WOSC gymnasium on the west side of the cam-pus at 2801 N. Main St. in Altus.
The cost to attend the camp is $150 and includes a camp T-shirt as well as a certificate of
completion..Attendees should
provide a shirt and a pair of shorts to play in, a basketball and a snack or sack lunch. The concession stand will be available during camp hours.
Advanced baseball fundamentals training offeredBy Ryan [email protected]
Western Oklahoma State Col-lege coaches Kurt Russell and Brett Stanton are planning a “regular” baseball camp from 9 a.m. to noon June 19-21 to teach children hitting, fielding, baserunning and pitching.
The goal is to produce qual-ity baseball players at all levels
from the event that costs $65 per athlete.
For those seeking a more in-depth experience, Russell has scheduled an entirely different experience called Pioneers of the Game or PTG to spend more time on lessons on proper hitting, pitching and fielding techniques.
“This training is for those looking for more. The six-week
training will include college-like preparation for baseball,” Russell said. “We will run prac-tice college style with proper coaching covering all aspects of the game. It will also include strength and conditioning along with speed and agility training with athletes receiving a 16-week speed training pack-et and nutritional program.”
The mission of PTG is to pre-
pare local athletes for baseball with college level, advanced training to further the athlete’s baseball skills and knowledge, while honing athletic abilities.
The training is broken down into two groups to better help the athletes with each group consisting of 18 players.
Group A is for athletes ages

Camp
Attendees should arrive at the gym by 8:30 a.m. and prepare for a stretch-ing session from 9-9:20 a.m.
Fundamental stations begin at 9:30 a.m. and continue through 11:30 a.m. before a 30-min-ute break. At noon and through 1 p.m., attendees will have the opportunity to participate in various fun games and free shoot-ing before the day comes to an end.
Spots are limited, so early registration is neces-sary to ensure a child’s place in this year’s camp.
“The camp will be a good starting point for beginners in the game or a good refresher for more advanced players,” Broughton said. “It is a good way for us to pro-vide college-level instruc-tion to kids who are plan-ning to play fall or winter basketball for the city or for the schools.”
Any money earned through the camp will benefit the Lady Pioneers’ basketball team.
For more information contact Broughton at 580-477-7797 or 405-924-6554 or at [email protected].
