Sense of fear lingers in Okla. on 9/11 anniversary By TIM TALLEY Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY — Before Sept. 11, there was April 19 — when a truck bomb sheared away one side of a federal building in middle America and proved that anyone, anywhere, can be attacked. The combination of two tons of fertilizer and fuel oil in Oklahoma City destroyed the notion that people content to live far from the nation’s biggest cities and tallest buildings wouldn’t be targets of terrorism. As the nation prepares to observe the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, many Oklahoma residents are still coping with the fear or anxiety set off by the earlier bombing. When a Molotov cocktail blew up alongside an Oklahoma City home this summer, people’s thoughts and talk instantly turned to the 1995 explosion. “Every time you see a bombing on TV, you think of the Murrah building,” said Tom Kight, who didn’t learn that his stepdaughter was killed in the attack until fi ve days afterward. “I’ve lived with anxiety. You see some of the bombings, whether it’s Afghanistan or Iraq, you’re going to fl ash back.” Al-Qaida’s attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. Timothy McVeigh’s bombing of the nine-story federal building, in retaliation for a 1993 government raid on a religious compound in Waco, Texas, killed 168 people in Oklahoma City, including 19 children at a day care. The Molotov cocktail explosion this summer illustrated again how sensitive people in Oklahoma City are to any potential threat, said Susan Winchester, whose sister died in the federal building attack. “I think we’ve experienced fi rsthand that it’s not something to take lightly. You immediately put your memories and experiences into play,” she said. “You realize it’s something that is very, very real and something that can happen.” In the latest case, authorities say a 15-yearold boy was playing with Molotov cocktails before the fatal fi re that killed an elderly couple. Shirley Ferguson, 72, whose neighbors were the ones killed, said anyone is Coming to Cowboy Days! September 17th www.goBIGgametruck.com vulnerable. “I’m sure it could happen again. I hope it doesn’t, but the way the world is today, you never know,” she said. Ferguson’s daughter, Sherie Asbell, 53, said the emotional impact of the Oklahoma City bombing and the fi rebombing in her mother’s neighborhood are “too closely related.” “That brought a lot of fear back to me,” Asbell said. “It can happen anytime — anybody, anytime,” said neighbor Bob Bosse, 64. “You just hope that it won’t.” McVeigh, an army veteran, was convicted of federal murder and bombing-related charges in the Oklahoma City bombing. A co-conspirator, Terry Nichols, was convicted on federal and state charges and is serving multiple life sentences. McVeigh was executed on June 11, 2001 — three months before the attacks targeting the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. On Sept. 11, Richard Williams felt an awkward kinship with New York and Washington. Williams, who needed 150 stitches to close wounds on the right side of his body after the Oklahoma City bombing and lost dozens of colleagues and friends in the attack, said he “got that same, sick gut feeling those people got on April 19th.” “My fi rst reaction was to pick up the phone and call my fellow survivors, people I knew. Here was that same feeling of understanding what those people were beginning to go through,” he said. Williams, 65, who was at a business meeting in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building at 9:02 a.m. on April 19, 1995, said little things can still put people on edge. “Hardly a day goes by in Oklahoma where we don’t hear something about the bombing,” he said. “Just to hear a fi re engine, or a loud noise, or a sonic boom from Tinker (Air Force Base near Oklahoma City), any one of those things can trigger an emotion.” Kight, 72, said that despite the time that has passed, the pain has stuck with him. “Our memories as we get older, they fade to a certain degree,” Kight said, “but I’ve got a picture in my mind that never (goes away).” We bring it BIG!

The concert is a stop on the Music With a Mission Tour featuring Christian bands Hawk Nelson, Firefl ight, Superchick, MikesChair, Manafest, Hyland, Samestate and Kiros. The Music With a Mission Tour is joining with Compassion International to make a difference through music. The concert at Wayland will benefi t Plainview’s Faith in Sharing House, an organization that donates food to needy families. The concert is free of charge, but Wayland is asking for donations of non-perishable food items to benefi t FISH. “This is an opportunity for our students, employees and community to get involved and donate to a worthy cause,” said Dr. Claude Lusk, vice president for enrollment management. “Each year we try to fi nd a way COWBOY CHURCH “Sermon On The Mount” Ron Brunson, Pastor, will be delivering his message from horseback ✞ Music ✞ Inspirational Fellowship ✞ Good Times, Great People to give back to the community. For the last several years, our efforts have benefi tted the Faith In Sharing House. We felt partnering with this concert tour would be a great way to support such a worthy cause.” Hawk Nelson and Firefl ight have both played at Wayland in recent years. In fact, last fall, Firefl ight headlined a free concert held in The Hutch, featuring Manic Drive and Group 1 Crew. That concert promoted and benefi tted World Vision’s work with needy children around the world. “It was a huge success and Firefl ight was tremendous,” Lusk said. “When we had the opportunity to bring in another group this year, we just couldn’t pass it up. I hope we can pack the house and enjoy a great concert and bring in a lot of food items for FISH.” Hyland also will conduct Wayland’s chapel service at 11 a.m. Wednesday in Harral Memorial Auditorium. The chapel service is open to the public. To comment: pettyj@wbu.edu Therapy dogs hearten patients at Baylor Hospital By LAURA C. MOREL The Dallas Morning News DALLAS (AP) — Behind Jim and Bettye Baker’s Seagoville home sits the kennel for Oak Hill Animal Rescue, the pet organization the Bakers founded to save animals from being euthanized. Since it opened in 2006, the Bakers said they have found homes for at least 500 dogs. So when a veterinarian called them about an ailing pit bull pup named Chili, the decision to adopt her was a no-brainer. When Chili was 8 weeks old, someone threw her over a fence onto concrete, breaking her back and cracking her pelvis. A vet told the Bakers she had suffered neurological damage and would never be able to use her hind legs. Chili grew to be 42 pounds. Her chest is broad and muscular. The Bakers swear she can smile because when Chili pants, the corners of her mouth curl into a wide grin. Eventually, Chili learned to get around by using her front legs and dragging the rest of her body. But the dragging took a toll on her tail, which is covered in scar tissue. When she was a year old, the Bakers discovered Eddie’s Wheels, a Massachusetts-based company that makes lightweight aluminum wheelchairs for pets. A padded saddle in the shape of a fi gure-eight holds their back legs in place. The Bakers bought one of the wheelchairs — which cost between $325 and about $1,400 — for Chili, who enjoys running around the backyard. “She just fl ies in the thing,” Jim Baker said. Last year, the Bakers were with Chili at a pet adoption event in North Dallas when a woman approached them. “This dog needs to go to Baylor,” said the lady, a nurse at Baylor Hospital who was familiar with its Animal-Assisted Therapy Program. According to a study by the Center for Human-Animal Interaction at Virginia Commonwealth University, a majority of patients who suffered from acute psychiatric problems showed lower anxiety levels after interacting with therapy dogs. But not all dogs who try out make the cut for Baylor’s program. “Just because your dog likes people or is a friendly dog does not mean that they would make a good therapy dog,” said Linda Marler, the program’s director. Animals accepted at Baylor must pass a 15-minute test during which pans are dropped, and crutches and wheelchairs circle the dog to determine its reaction. There is also a pain tolerance portion to make sure the dog will not bark or bare its teeth if it is hurt. Chili and Arlo, a disabled dachshund adopted by the Bakers three years ago, have been a big hit with Baylor patients. Of the 86 dogs making rounds at the hospital, they are the only two disabled ones, and this month marks their fi rst anniversary of bringing smiles to patients’ faces. At a therapy gym inside the Baylor Institute of Rehabilitation, some patients laughed recently when they spotted the canine visitors. Others stared, wide-eyed. “Patients just absolutely love them,” Jim Baker said. “There’s something about that contact, seeing a dog in a wheelchair who is so happy and thriving.” Kristen Hill, an occupational therapist at the institute, has seen the dogs repeatedly boost the attitudes of her patients. “It defi nitely makes them smile,” Hill said. “They’re able to relate to the dogs” because most patients use Toy poodle helps rescue man from burning home WEST JORDAN, Utah (AP) — Authorities say a toy poodle saved a life in Utah by leading fi refi ghters through his owner’s smoke-fi lled home to a man asleep in the basement. The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the dog named Ted was spotted by paramedics responding to the fi re in West Jordan early Friday. Offi cials say that when they tried to catch Ted to bring him outside, he headed downstairs instead. They say he waited until they caught up with him, then led them to a 19-year-old man who was sleeping on a couch in the basement. Authorities say the man was treated for smoke inhalation. The dog was not injured. A woman and two children had already escaped the fi re, which was possibly caused by a gas leak. wheelchairs themselves.” Tanner Perales, 17, was lying down on a therapy bed when he spotted Arlo. The dog has a degenerative spinal disease, a common condition in dachshunds because of their long backs, and his lower body is paralyzed. Now 6 years old and weighing 12 pounds, he is short and scrawny. When he looks up, his long, chocolate brown ears fl op back. The animal’s visit lifted the spirits of Perales, who broke his neck in June when he jumped into a lake unaware that the water was only a foot deep. When Bettye Baker placed Arlo on the bed with Perales, the dog nuzzled the teen’s arm with his nose. Chili dropped by, too. “It was neat seeing them,” Perales said with a smile. “She’s adorable!” said Sandy Wilson as she stroked Chili’s head and looked into the dog’s brown eyes. “You’ve made me so happy today.” Wilson, from North Dallas, had a brain tumor removed earlier this year and was at the institute for four weeks. She said therapy dogs are “nonjudgmental.” “Especially these two,” Wilson said. “They’re handicapped. But look, they’re happy.” Although the wheelchairs offer Chili and Arlo more independence, they still have some limitations. When Chili is outside in the yard, she sometimes runs into a hole, fl ipping her wheelchair. The dogs can only use If ya’ll haven’t attended one of our Cowboy Church services, you don’t know what you’re missin’! Join Us!

Seating under the East Grand Stand, in the shade. their wheelchairs for about four hours at a time because it’s so demanding on their upper bodies. And both animals have what Bettye Baker calls “plumbing problems.” Chili wears a skirt to hide the diaper she wears when she visits patients. Because she is in a wheelchair, she can’t squat to relieve herself like other dogs. And with Arlo, the Bakers have to press his bladder to make him urinate. “If somebody else had them, (they) probably would have just been euthanized,” Bettye Baker said. Instead, Jim Baker said Chili and Arlo are an inspiration to patients who face similar struggles. The dogs, he said, have “been a blessing for a lot of people.” BROUGHT TO YOU BY: • Plateau Wireless • Suddenlink • United Supermarkets • Amigos • Cargill • Reagor-Dykes • Plainview Downtown Association • Plainview Chamber of Commerce • Gebo’s • City of Plainview • HCSB • Walmart Supercenter & Distribution Center • Plainview Herald
