Clinton has two Merit semifinalists 

Officials with the National 

Merit Scholarship 

Corporation (NMSC) announced 

the names of approximately 

16,000 semifinalists 

in the 58th annual 

National Merit Scholarship 

Program this week, and 

two of those honorees come 

from Clinton — William 

Davis and Jake Resendez. 

Davis is the son of David 

and Carol Davis while 

Resendez is the son of 

Rhonda Resendez. 

Davis said he plans to 

attend Oklahoma State 

University to study toward 

a degree in computer 

engineering with a 

minor in music. 

Resendez is bound for 

either the University of 

Oklahoma or Texas A&M 

University to study toward 

a degree in education. 

Both are seniors who will 

graduate in 2013. 

In addition to his academic 

honors, Davis is a 

two-time All-State honoree 

in band. 

While Clinton has had 

a few single Merit honorees 

over the years, this is 

the first time the school 

has had two. 

No other school Clinton’s 

size had more than 

one honoree in this latest 

list of semifinalists, and 

no other school in the 

Clinton Daily News coverage 

area made the Merit 

list for this year. 

These academically 

talented high school seniors 

have an opportunity 

to continue in the competition 

for some 8,300 

National Merit Scholarships 

worth more than 

$32 million that will be 

offered next spring. 

To be considered for a 

Merit Scholarship award, 

semifinalists must fulfill 

several requirements to 

advance to the finalist 

level of the competition. 

About 90 percent of the 

semifinalists are expected 

to attain finalist standing, 

and more than half 

of the finalists will win a 

National Merit Scholarship, 

earning the Merit 

Scholar title. 

Supt. Kevin Hime said 

Merit honorees can expect 

generous five-figure 

scholarships from just 

about any institution they 

decide to attend. 

NMSC, a not-for-profit 

organization that operates 

without government 

assistance, was established 

in 1955 specifically 

to conduct the annual 


program. 

Scholarships are underwritten 

by NMSC with 

its own funds and by approximately 

440 business 

organizations and higher 

education institutions 

that share NMSC’s goals 

of honoring the nation’s

Young talents shine in ‘Willy Wonka’ 

By STEVE BELCHER 

Veteran musical director 

Kathy Kelley pulls out 

all the stops when she puts 

on a musical. She did it 

with “Oklahoma!” and she 

has definitely done it with 

the latest musical celebration 

to grace the venerable 

Southwest Playhouse stage 

— “Willy Wonka.” 

“Wonka” opens at 7:30 

Arapaho blood drive September 26 

Blood donors can show 

their community and 

school spirit by donating 

with Oklahoma Blood 

Institute (OBI) Wednesday, 

Sept. 26. Alpha Nu 

of Epsilon Sigma Alpha 

and Arapaho-Butler High 

School will be sponsoring 

a blood drive from 12:30 

to 5:30 p.m., in the school 

gym lobby at 214 N. 12th. 

Each blood donor will 

receive the choice of a free 

University of Oklahoma 

p.m. today with a 7:30 p.m. 

show Saturday and a 2:30 

p.m. matinee Sunday. 

Another round of shows, 

with a first-time ever Saturday 

matinee, is set for the 

following weekend. 

Those show times will 

include: 

• 7:30 p.m. Friday, 

Sept. 21 

• A double-header at 

or Oklahoma State University 

blood donor T-shirt 

and a chance to win a pair 

of tickets to the 2012 Bedlam 

football game. Blood 

donation is voluntary, and 

no contribution, donation, 

purchase or payment is 

necessary to enter the 

prize drawing. 

Any donor who prefers 

to support Children’s 

Miracle Network Hospitals 

— locally, Children’s 

Hospital Foundation — 

2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. 

Saturday, Sept. 22 

• A closing matinee at 

2:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 23 

Tickets may be reserved 

by calling the box 

office any afternoon from 

1 to 4 p.m. at (580) 323- 

4448. Extra seats have 

been set up in the arena 

for this show, and Kelley 

is expecting tickets to 

THINGS GET GUMMED UP for Elly Martin of Clinton, center, in 

the role of Violet Beauregarde in the Southwest Playhouse musical “Willy 

Wonka.” In this scene are her stage mother, played by Julie Barnett of 

Sentinel, and Dean McSpadden of Weatherford in the role of Wonka. The 

show opens at 7:30 p.m. today. (CDN photo by Steve Belcher) 

can forgo the shirt. 

In turn, OBI will make 

a monetary donation of 

similar value to Children’s 

Hospital Foundation. 

It’s a chance to “doubly 

give” to children battling 

critical health conditions 

through the life-saving gift 

of blood and support for pediatric 

medical research, 

community outreach and 

treatment initiatives. 

“Someone needs blood 

every two seconds,” said 

be a hot commodity. The 

last major musical on the 

local stage “Oliver!” was 

pretty much a sellout. 

This reporter is a mere 

blip on the canvas stage 

for this production, so he 

was able to sit and watch 

the majority of the dress 

rehearsal Wednesday night 

for the sake of this review. 

Kelley confided to me 

that there are a lot of other 

firsts for the local stage 

in this production. I could 

get specific, but that would 

spoil the decided surprise 

factor of this show. 

Let me just say a couple 

of things. First off, special 

effects are a large part of 

the bread and butter of this 

production. There’s some 

tough physical humor in 

this show and even some 

bravery on the part of the 

performers, but the audience 

will see what I mean. 

Secondly, the audience 

won’t be fooled by much 

of this (maybe one or two 

things) but they need to cut 

the production some slack, 

since this was a first attempt, 

and it’s pretty good 

with a bit of innovation and 

hard work thrown in. 

“Wonka” has proved to 

be a challenging production, 

but the special effects 

crew for this show has 

been up to the task. 

In this reviewer’s opinion, 

though, it’s the young 

John Armitage, M.D., 

president and CEO of OBI. 

“That is why we are asking 

everyone to show community 

support through 

blood donation along with 

their school spirit during 

football season.” 

Because there is no 

substitute for blood, the 

supply must constantly 

be renewed. 

Although all blood types 

are needed, those with O- 

(See BLOOD, P. 2) 

people who make this production 

what it is. 

Being a longtime teacher, 

Kelley knows how to 

get the most out of her 

young charges of every 

age, and this show is populated 

with an incredibly 

talented young troupe 

— many of them already 

solo caliber performers 

dedicated to their craft. 

It almost goes without 

saying these days that 

Parker Williams has a 

performing gift. He’s at 

it again in the major role 

of Charlie Bucket in this 

show. He performs several 

solo and duet numbers with 

the growing confidence of a 

stage veteran, which he is 

rapidly turning into. 

Some of the stuff he 

does, along with Truett 

Guthrie as his Grandpa 

Joe, involves very challenging 

circumstances. 

There just aren’t enough 

column inches to get in all 

of the accolades for these 

performers, unfortunately, 

in such a huge cast. 

Yet another stage stunner 

is Haley Norris as 

Veruca Salt (don’t call her 

Veronica). She has her own 

tough little special effects 

bit along with a hard-driving 

vocal number that she 

seems tailor made for. 

Her elaborate movements 

on stage compliment

Special effects, music, colorful set make ‘Wonka’ 

(Continued from P. 1) 

the song perfectly. 

Playing her on-stage 

dad well is Bryan Johnston, 

the perfect father 

with a big and always 

ready checkbook. He even 

participates in the special 

effects bit with Norris. 

Then there’s Derek 

Norris as Mike Teavee. 

He has tackled a really 

fast, tongue-twisting 

song along with his stage 

mom, played by Melissa 

McSpadden, and they 

both play off of each other 

exceptionally well. It’s a 

comic masterpiece. 

Norris also is good at 

interacting with Dean Mc- 

Spadden in the title role as 

Wonka, especially in their 

special effects TV scene. 

Not to be outdone is 

Elly Martin as the gumpopping 

Violet Beauregarde. 

Her song, “Chew It,” 

involves its own first-time 

special effect for the local 

stage. Wow, can she hit the 

high notes toward the end. 

She interacts well with 

her stage mom, played by 

veteran director and performer 

Julie Barnett. It’s 

fun to watch the pair as 

they pester poor reporter 

Phineous Trout, played 

by Dustin Williams. 

Fact is, though, Williams 

carries a large part 

of the early plot of this sto- 

The family of Oscar 

D. Heras, 45, Clinton 

resident, will meet 

guests from 5 to 7 

p.m. Friday in the 

Stanley-Lee Funeral 

Home chapel, 

Clinton. 

Heras died Feb. 

11, 2012, in a house 

fire in east Clinton. 

The State Medical Examiner’s 

Office has just 

released the body because 

the office was waiting until 

positive identification 

could be made. 

Heras was born Dec. 

19, 1966, in Mexico, the 

son of Oscar and Angela 

(Rodriguez) Heras. 

Reared in Mexico, he settled 

in Clinton after coming 

to the United States. 

He married Arzella Barker 

Sept. 20, 2012. 

He had worked on pipelines 

in the oil fields. Preceding 

him in death were 

his father and his fatherin-law, 

Elmer Barker. 

Survivors include his 

wife, Arzella, of the home; 

a daughter, Kristy, Oklahoma 

City; his mother, Angela 

Heras; three sisters, Maria 

Victoria Heras, Aima 

ry as he goes from spoiled 

child to spoiled child with 

hilarious consequences. 

He even gets in a little 

singing here and there. 

Yet another young 

man who can really sing 

in this show is Tanner 

Fisher as the candy man. 

He can really belt out the 

show’s signature song. He 

has some tender scenes 

with Parker Williams 

as Charlie Bucket to go 

along with the singing, 

and he even manages a 

clunky candy cart well. 

Connor Williams, especially 

with his innovative 

and spunky costume, 

is a scene stealer as 

the gluttonous Augustus 

Gloop. He’s a little bit 

young for such a major 

role, but he does more 

than okay for his first 

time in the spotlight. 

This younger Williams 

also has a special effects 

bit that will have the audience 

laughing. 

He’s another one 

who’s teamed with a 

marvelous stage parent 

played by Karen Van 

Horn — another woman 

in this show who can really 

sing. She also gives 

Phineous Trout fits in 

her little performing bit. 

No doubt working well 

to steal this show, though, 

is a huge troupe of Oompa- 

Gay Fite services Saturday 

Funeral services for 

Gaylyn (Gay Satoe) Fite, 

57-year-old Thomas, Okla. 

resident, will be held on 

Saturday, Sept. 15, 2012 at 

2 p.m. in the First Baptist 

Church of Thomas, Okla. 

with Pastor Jerry Yoder 

officiating. Burial will follow 

in the Mound Valley 

Cemetery under the direction 

of Lockstone Funeral 

Home of Thomas. 

Gay was born to Billy 

and Joyce (Satoe) Brownen 

on April 29, 1955 in Lawton, 

Okla. and died on 

Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2012, 

in Weatherford, Okla. 

Gay was raised and 

attended school in Carnegie, 

Okla. She married 

Aubry Gene Fite on July 

12, 1973 in Cordell, Okla., 

and they made their home 

in Fairview, Okla. 

In 1975, they moved to 

Thomas, where they raised 

their children. Gay baby 

sat for 14 years, taking 

care of numerous Thomas 

families’ children. 

She enjoyed bowling, 

being a 4-H leader, sewing, 

cooking, camping 

and going to the Canton 

Lake Walleye Rodeo 

with her sister, Janice, 

but most of all she enjoyed 

being with her 

grandbabies and husband, 

Gene. 

The family suggests 

memorial contributions 

may be made to the 

Oklahoma Medical Research 

Foundation for 

cancer research. 

She is survived by her 

mother, Joyce Satoe, Carnegie, 

Okla.; one son, Darrin 

Fite and his wife, Tristian, 

of Thomas, Okla.; three 

daughters, Dana Jean 

Reinschmiedt and her 

husband, Paul, of Thomas, 

Misty Alston and her husband, 

Brian, of Thomas, 

Keesha Short of Weatherford, 

Okla.; 11 grandchildren, 

Lundyn, Darrien, 

Clay, Raylen, Jozy, Hunter, 

Draylee, Logan, Aiden, 

Jordyn and Jayde; three 

brothers, Henry Satoe of 

Carnegie, Michael Satoe- 

Brown of New York, N.Y. 

and Russell Carl Smith of 

Apache, Okla.; two sisters, 

Janice (Satoe) Ball and 

her husband, Dorman, 

of Thomas, and Carolyn 

Hodge of Carnegie. 

She was preceded in 

death by her father, Billy;

George Lincoln; a niece, 

Debra Fergason; and a 

nephew, Iaasic Fite.

appearances on the stage 

set off the whole production. 

Let me just say, first, 

though that Lindy Mc- 

Cain, who is appearing 

in the show as Grandma 

Georgina in a spunky, 

hilarious role, spent no 

doubt countless hours 

tailoring and coordinating 

all of the Oompa costumes 

for this show.

My apologies for not 

knowing the youngsters 

well enough to point out 

special little bits some 

of them do, along with 

their major numbers 

peppered throughout 

the show. Let me just 

say they’re getting their 

acting and singing skills 

down at a young age.

BLOOD 


negative type blood are 

especially encouraged 

to donate. 

According to the 

American Association of 

Blood Banks (AABB), 

those with O-negative 

blood type make up only 

nine percent of the national 

population. 

However, O-negative 

blood can be used in any 

emergency situation when 

a patient’s blood type has 

not yet been identified. 

OBI exclusively provides 

every drop of blood 

needed by patients in 

all hospitals in the metro-Oklahoma 

City area. 

Some 140 other medical 

facilities across the state 

rely solely on OBI donors 

to provide life-saving 

blood for their patients. 

Anyone, 16 years or 

older can typically donate 

blood. Those who are 

16 must weigh at least 

125 pounds and provide 

signed parental permission. 

Those who are 17 

must weigh at least 125 

pounds. Donors, ages 18 

and up, must weigh at 

least 110 pounds. 

Blood can be given 

every 56 days. To find 

out more or make an appointment 

to donate, call 

Marsha Moore at (580)

Pruitt as Sophie and Amy 

Freeman as Dani. They 

even get in quite a bit 

of singing, all done very 

well, on such songs as 

“The Candy Man.” 

Oh, did I forget there 

was a smattering of 

adults in this show? 

Dean McSpadden has 

some tough songs to sing 

as Wonka, but he’s up to 

the challenge. Perhaps 

he’s at his best, though, 

when he verbally jousts 

with the various children 

with wit and charm. 

Truett Guthrie is an 

impressive stage performer. 

His role as Grandpa 

Joe is tailor made for him, 

and he’s perfectly paired 

with Parker Williams. 

Some of his, dare I call it, 

stunt work in this show 

could have been reserved 

for someone younger — if 

it’s politically okay to say 

that — but he carries it 

off along with his stage 

grandson. 

One of the best numbers 

WHITE MALE 

MINIATURE 

SCHNAUZER 

in this show is reserved for 

Sean and Julie Williams 

as Mr. and Mrs. Bucket — 

joined at times by Guthrie. 

Their soaring number is 

“Cheer Up Charlie.” It has 

been applauded every time 

they have performed it in 

rehearsal, and it never 

gets old. 

Likewise, Sean Williams 

and Parker have 

their own time on stage in 

“Think Positive,” which is 

highly enjoyable. 

There’s a bed bunch 

in this show that is a 

laugh riot. Guthrie joins 

them at times, and I’ve 

already given McCain a 

brief salute. The others 

are James Rainwater as 

Grandpa George and Eithel 

Simpson as Grandma 

Josephine. Theirs is an 

ongoing gag that has to 

be seen to be appreciated. 

Just a couple more cast 

members to round out this 

show have to be mentioned.

dons a squirrel costume 

for part of this show, 

along with set master 

Rick McCain. They even 

get to tossing around nuts 

to good effect and are 

hilarious in the role, especially 

when they interact 

with the spoiled brats. 

Appearing a few times 

in various modes in this 

show are a troupe of cooks 

and chorus members, 

including myself and 

Emma Brown, Tracye

Ray Simmons, Jeri Zitterkob 

and T.J. Williams. 

This troupe sings and 

gets in a few dance moves 

(at least some of the others 

do — I’m not too sure 

about me). 

There’s so much more 

to say about this show, but 

this review has run way 

too long as it is. The set 

is an inspired, intricate 

color riot that is nothing 

short of eye-popping. Fact 

is, that almost describes 

the whole show.

Talk on MCYS set 

for AARP meeting 

Custer County AARP Chapter No. 1258 will 

meet at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Clinton Senior 

Citizens Center, 323 S. Eighth. 

Entertainment for the meeting will be provided 

by Lavern “Strawberry” Berry. The speaker for 

the meeting will be J.G. Stratton, speaking on the 

Multi-County Youth Services program. 

Per usual, blood pressure and blood sugar readings 

will precede the meeting at 9 a.m., and the 

meal will be served following the business meeting. 

Club president Mary Ann Morris announced the 

meal will be hot dogs and trimmings. 

Members are asked to bring chips, salads and 

desserts. Wieners and buns will be furnished as 

well as chili and baked beans. 

Mrs. Morris also asked that, due to the severe 

need of rain and to show the club’s faith that attendees 

wear some type of rain gear — carry umbrellas, 

wear raincoat, caps, etc. 

Gerrie Cordes, community presence chairman, 

expressed the club’s appreciation to all who brought 

nonperishable food for the AARP Day of Service. 

Food goods and other items brought were taken 

to Action Associates to help with their program. A 

large amount was collected.

It’s a chance to “doubly

community outreach and 

treatment initiatives. 

“Someone needs blood 

every two seconds,” said 

John Armitage, M.D., OBI

constant need is why we 

are asking Weatherford 

area residents to donate 

blood.” 

Because there is no

Horoscope 

Sat., Sept. 15,2012 

Some positive transformations 

in your social 

life could be in 

the offing in the year 

ahead. Old relationships 

could be revised or new 

friends acquired, creating 

numerous additional 

close, emotional bonds. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23- 

Sept. 22) — You’ll sparkle 

if you’re involved in 

some kind of creative 

endeavor. This will be 

especially true if you 

have an imaginative 

partner who is as bright 

as you are. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 

23) — Rather than leave 

important matters up 

to the capriciousness 

of fate, take charge of 

events yourself. You are 

the final arbiter of your 

own affairs. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 24- 

Nov. 22) — Be a good 

listener, especially if 

you’re with a group of 

friends who are discussing 

some new topics. 

There’s a chance that 

what you learn can be 

used to your advantage. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 

23-Dec. 21) — Conditions 

in general should 

be quite favorable for 

you over the next couple 

of days, especially where 

your material interests 

are concerned. Do something 

meaningful. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 

22-Jan. 19) — Knowledge 

gained from personal 

experience is one 

of our greatest assets. 

If you’re stymied with 

something you’re doing 

or with someone you 

know, look into the past 

for answers. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- 

Feb. 19) — Your commercial 

affairs are best 

conducted in a secretive 

atmosphere, with 

only the people involved 

present. Outsiders or 

kibitzers will only cause 

confusion and complications. 

P I S C E S ( F e b . 

20-March 20) — If there 

is something pleasant 

you’d like to do, contact 

your closest friends first 

to see if any of them 

are interested in joining 

you. Hard feelings 

would result if you don’t. 

ARIES (March 

21-April 19) — Cozy 

up to a friend or family 

member who can help 

you advance a career 

objective. The ladder 

to success will be much 

steadier with this person’s 

cooperation. 

TAURUS (April 20- 

May 20) — Because 

you’re an exceptional 

organizer, take it upon 

yourself to help an associate 

who is fumbling 

with a situation that 

you’re familiar with. 

Share your knowledge, 

and everyone comes out 

ahead. 

GEMINI (May 21- 

June 20) — You’re the 

catalyst who can unite 

the family to take on a 

common mission. The 

changes your clan will 

be able to effect will 

bring greater harmony 

to the entire household. 

CANCER (June 21- 

July 22) — It’s an excellent 

day to discuss 

a critical matter with 

your mate. Reaching 

a collective conclusion 

will be far better than 

any answer arrived at 

individually. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 

22) — You should now 

be able to feel the effects 

of some influences that 

could be having a stabilizing 

effect on your 

family’s finances. The 

changes will be obvious 

and worthy of further 

development.

Clinton Laundry Chamber 

August Business of Month 

Clinton Laundry & Cleaners was chosen to be the Business of the Month for 

August 2012 by the Clinton Chamber of Commerce. The company has been providing 

excellent janitorial service, uniform service and clothing service to the city of 

Clinton since 1907. It does not just help the local community through its payroll for 

85 employees but also provides services all over western Oklahoma. It is preferred 

from as far east as El Reno to as far south as Lawton. Clinton Laundry & Cleaners 

also has pick-up locations in Elk City and Weatherford. Dave Felch has owned 

this thriving, family-owned business since 1980. His three children have their 

roles as well — Liz Johnson, office manager; Debbie Lehman, local dry cleaning 

and delivery, and Brian Felch, head of the Janitorial Department. Johnson said, 

“To be in business for over 100 years we’ve had to continuously change and grow 

and look forward to continuing that tradition. It’s our pleasure to serve Western 

Oklahoma and to be able to operate in our hometown of Clinton.” (Courtesy photo)

Glory and dismay came the Clinton Middle School 

football teams’ way Tuesday at the Tornado Bowl. 

The Whirlwinds played host to Lawton Central 

and split the double-header. 

The Clinton seventh graders (3-0) picked up a 32-6 

victory and the eighth graders (2-1) suffered their first 

ever loss in a 38-6 defeat. 

Seventh Graders 

Bryler Atchley scored on a 1-yard touchdown run 

in the first quarter and a 3-yard touchdown run in 

the second quarter to give the younger Whirlwinds 

a 12-0 lead. 

Lawton Central would come back to score a touchdown, 

but Greyson Weedon rumbled for a 55-yard 

touchdown to push the lead to 18-6 at the half. 

Weedon scored again from five yards out in the 

third quarter and Conor Wyer hit Zachary Hester 

on a pass for the two-point conversion to make it a 

26-6 lead.

Football picks made for week three 

Week two fared much 

better for ye olde sports 

editor and his weekly 

pigskin picks. The week 

before I could have well 

called them “weakly” 

picks. 

Let’s do a quick recap 

of the picks so far: 

Week one – 5-of-10 

Week two – 7-of-10 

Overall that is 12-for- 

20 or 60 percent correct. 

This week will serve 

as a way to make that 

percentage factor go up 

for sure. 

With progress clearly 

being made and confidence 

growing, things 

are bound to continue 

improving. 

Here are the brave 

picks for week three: 

1. Clinton at Southeast 

– Clinton 

It’s the second leg of 

a three-game road tour 

and the Spartans are 

still smarting from last 

week’s loss to Star Spencer. 

If Clinton jumps on 

top of them early it will 

be over. My biggest hope 

is that this is a week 

where the starters can 

get a break and the reserves 

can come in and 

carry the load. 

2. Cordell at Mangum 

– Mangum 

The Blue Devils have 

stubbed their toe twice 

so far and Mangum is 

willing to oblige to make 

it a third time. Cordell 

has been outscored 61-14 

so far this season. 

3. Burns Flat-Dill 

City at Mooreland – 

Mooreland 

Early indications are 

Mooreland is back on 

Riding 

The Pine 

By Sean Stephens 

track and that could 

well mean bad news for 

the Eagles. 

4. Corn Bible Academy 

at Grandfield – Corn 

Bible Academy 

Have missed this slot 

each week so far, but 

this time feel good about 

picking the Crusaders. 

Tougher games will be 

down the road for CBA. 

5. Thomas vs. Carnegie 

– Thomas 

Carnegie has been 

down, down, down this 

season. The Terriers 

will take this one with 

relative ease. 

6. Weatherford vs. 

Bishop McGuinness – 

McGuinness 

I do not, I repeat, do 

not like making this 

pick. My heart leans 

one way and my head 

another. The Eagles 

finish a tough non-district 

slate before getting 

ready to host the 

“Custer County Conflict” 

next week. Chuck 

Edwards really should 

be paid royalties for 

coming up with that 

particular moniker. 

7. Broken Bow at 

Metro Christian – Broken 

Bow 

ICE AGE: 

That’s one mean bus 

trip for the Savages. 

Broken Bow and Metro 

have had some good 

games in the past and 

this should be no different. 

8. Broken Arrow at 

Union – Union 

Itching to pick Broken 

Arrow in an upset, 

but just can’t do it. The 

dominance of Jenks and 

Union will have to come 

THE FIRST BANK & TRUST CO. T-ball team this summer consisted of, front row, from 

left, Andres Williams, Hannah George, Daniel George, Haddan George, Joseph Hammans, 

Adam Flores; back row, coach Kenneth Cross, Taylar Baggett, Bryonna Brewster, Kyler Cross, 

Montiel Crane and coach Ray Hammans. (Photo courtesy of Keri Staggs Photography) 

Whirlwinds split with Central 

Michael Clelland broke free for a 33-yard touchdown 

run to complete the scoring at 32-6 for the 

Whirlwinds. 

Eighth Graders 

The elder Whirlwinds ran into a little bit of trouble 

against Lawton Central. 

“They were pretty talented, but we did not play 

well either,” said assistant coach Greg McKee. “They 

would home run us here and there and we would make 

some drives but just come up short.” 

Deonte Barker scored on a 3-yard run in the fourth 

quarter to help his team avoid being shut out. 

to an end sometime and 

maybe the state’s largest 

school can get the job 

done. 

9. Davis vs. Heritage 

Hall – Davis 

It will be at Davis 

and the Chargers’ best 

player was injured in 

the Clinton game. The 

Wolves will run, run and 

run some more out of 

the wishbone. You know 

what you are getting 

with them every time. 

10. Jenks at Owasso 

– Jenks 

When was the last 

time Jenks went 0-3? 

Not this time. Should 

be a tough game on the 

road, but Jenks will prevail 

one more time.

Carbon monoxide monitor can save your life and home 

DEAR DOCTOR K: 

What is carbon monoxide? 

And why do I need 

carbon monoxide monitors 

in my house? 

DEAR READER: Carbon 

monoxide is a tasteless, 

colorless, odorless 

gas. It sounds harmless, 

but breathing it in can 

cause carbon monoxide 

poisoning, which can be 

fatal. Because you can’t 

see, smell or taste carbon 

monoxide, it can kill you 

without warning — that 

is, unless you have carbon 

monoxide monitors to

Grandma is slow to cheer an overdue wedding 

DEAR ABBY: My 

daughter is annoyed 

with me because I’m not 

jumping up and down 

with joy over my grandson’s 

forthcoming wedding. 

Yes, I am 

happy they’re 

getting married, 

but how 

excited can I 

get? The two 

have been sexually 

involved 

since they met 

in high school 

four years ago. 

She was 16; he 

was 17. 

For the past two years, 

he and his girlfriend have 

shared an apartment and 

lived as man and wife. 

The bride-to-be’s parents 

are not exactly thrilled 

either at the expense of 

a white gown and a few 

hundred chicken dinners, 

hall and band. However, 

By Jeanne Phillips 

high in enclosed spaces 

with poor ventilation. 

When you take in a 

breath, you pull lots of 

oxygen into your lungs. 

The oxygen passes from 

your lungs into the blood. 

There, it attaches to a protein 

inside your red blood 

cells, called hemoglobin, 

and takes a ride as your 

blood circulates throughout 

your body. That’s how 

oxygen reaches every cell 

in the body — and every 

cell needs oxygen. 

Normally, there’s virtually 

no carbon monoxide in 

the air you breathe. However, 

if one of the sources 

I’ve listed above is releasing 

carbon monoxide in the 

air, it also passes from your 

lungs into the blood and attaches 

to hemoglobin. In 

fact, it attaches much more 

readily and sticks more 

tightly to hemoglobin than 

does oxygen. As a result, 

my daughter insists on it 

and wants everybody to 

get excited. 

OK — so I’m excited. 

Whoopee. — GRANNY 

MAE 

DEAR GRAN- 

NY MAE: You are 

focusing on the 

wrong thing. Your 

grandson and 

his fiancee care 

enough about each 

other to commit, 

in a public ceremony, 

to spending 

their lives together. 

That’s a positive 

step that deserves to be 

celebrated. 

Whether you or I approve 

of couples living 

together is beside the 

point. They are adults 

and it was their choice. Be 

happy that they are now 

tying the knot to bind 

themselves together in a 

the blood can’t carry oxygen 

throughout your body. 

Without enough oxygen, 

cells suffocate. 

If you’re exposed to just 

low levels of carbon monoxide, 

you may feel tired and 

achy and have impaired 

memory and concentration, 

shortness of breath, 

dizziness or fatigue. If you 

breathe in high levels of 

carbon monoxide and don’t 

get immediate treatment, 

you could lose consciousness 

and die. Even if you 

recover, there’s a risk of 

long-term brain damage. 

To reduce your risk of 

carbon monoxide poisoning, 

first and foremost 

install carbon monoxide 

detectors in your home. 

Put them in hallways near 

bedrooms and in garages 

attached to living areas. 

You should also:

you use a fireplace.

DEAR ABBY: My 

daughters attend a high 

school where a “Sadie 

Hawkins” dance has 

been planned for the students. 

The problem is, 

the guys at their school 

think it’s “cool” to wait 

until the day before the 

dance to answer the 

girls’ invitations. These 

are otherwise polite 

young men, but they see 

no problem in making 

the girl wait until the 

last minute to know if 

she even has a date for 

the event. 

I think this is extremely 

rude and inconsiderate. 

What is your opinion? 

And what do you suggest 

the girls say to the 

young men who leave 

them hanging? -- MOM 

WHO CARES IN ARI- 

ZONA 

— Never use charcoal 

grills or hibachis indoors. 

— Have fuel-burning 

appliances professionally 

installed. 

— Have your heating 

system, flues and chimneys 

professionally inspected 

before turning on 

your heater for winter. 

— Never operate gaspowered 

tools or engines 

inside. 

— Never leave your 

car running inside an attached 

garage. 

Several years ago, the 

carbon monoxide detector 

in our home sounded 

an alarm. I was upstairs, 

and came downstairs to 

smell gas in the kitchen. 

It turned out there was a 

leak in the line to the gas 

range. So the carbon monoxide 

detector had alerted 

us to a fire danger as well. 

Fortunately, everything 

worked out well. 

DEAR MOM WHO 

CARES: The courteous 

way to respond when 

invited out is to accept 

or say no PROMPTLY. 

I agree that it’s rude to 

keep someone hanging. If 

your daughters don’t get 

a response within a reasonable 

amount of time -- 

say, 24 to 48 hours -- they 

should invite someone 

else. And when the original 

boy finally comes up 

with his acceptance, he 

should be told, “Sorry, 

when I didn’t hear back 

from you, I asked someone 

else.”

TWELVE CLINTON FIREFIGHTERS showed up Tuesday for the groundbreaking of the city’s new fire station. Posing with City Manager 

Steve Hewitt, at the far left, are Interim Assistant Chief Barry DeHart, Battalion Chiefs Billy Challis and Rick Challis, Interim Chief Randy 

Carpenter, retired chief Wade Anders, volunteer Troy Calvert, Lts. Jerry Littke and Scott Haggard, firefighter John Denney, and volunteers 

Brian Sperle, Brad Lambeth, Shane Fawver and Toby Anders. Weatherford firemen stood by at the old station so Clinton firefighters who were 

on duty could attend the groundbreaking. It’s hoped that the six-bay, 17,000-square-foot new station, to be located at 200 S. Fourth St., will be 

ready for occupancy by next spring. The old one, built as a WPA project, was dedicated in 1936. (CDN photo by Gerald Green) 

God has worked to preserve Bible 

In 1844, Count Tischendorf, 

an Indiana Jones 

type of explorer, was 

visiting in the monastery 

near Mt. Sinai. While 

in the library, he saw a 

trash bin filled with pages 

of an old manuscript 

about to be used as kindling. 

As he examined 

these 129 pages he found 

that they were part of the 

oldest manuscript of the 

Bible he had ever seen. 

The monks allowed 

him to take 43 pages 

with him. After several 

more visits, finally in 

1859 he was able to have 

and pull together the 

remaining pages. 

What he had found 

was one of the largest, 

earliest and best preserved 

copies of the Bible 

in existence. This is just 

one example of the providence 

of God in allowing 

the Bible to survive. 

The question often 

arises as to the reliability 

of the New Testament. 

How did it come 

into its present form? We 

know that several letters 

or books circulated in 

the period of the early 

church are not found 

in the present-day New 

Testament. Who decided 

which books were 

divinely inspired and included, 

and which were 

to be excluded? 

Space does not allow 

us to go into much detail 

but perhaps a few 

thoughts will help. 

During the time of 

the early church it was 

necessary to establish 

a written record of the 

teachings of Jesus. Several 

heretical groups 

were claiming certain 

teachings that were 

not consistent with the 

teachings of the apostles. 

Many scholars feel 

that the Gospel of Mark 

was the first book of the 

New Testament to be 

written. He was a close 

associate of Peter and 

recorded the teachings 

and sermons of Peter 

which comprise the gospel 

as we have it today. 

One of the criteria 

used to determine the 

reliability of a particular 

book was, was it written 

by one of the apostles or a 

close associate. Another 

factor was the internal 

evidence. Was the material 

included consistent 

with the teachings of the 

other books accepted as 

divinely inspired? 

For example, some 

of the books contained

fanciful stories of magical 

powers of Jesus, such 

as turning a bird shaped 

from clay into a live specimen. 

It was not until the 

fourth century that the 

final stages of the acceptance 

of the books in our 

present New Testament 

was completed. 

It was at the Council 

of Carthage in 397 that 

a list of books which 

were to be recognized 

as scripture was published. 

They were careful 

to say that it was 

not just their opinions, 

but they were simply 

putting their stamp of 

approval on what had 

already been accept- 

ed as standard by the 

churches as a whole. 

The first attempts to 

translate the Bible into 

English did not come 

about until the 1300s 

when John Wycliffe insisted 

that the Bible 

should be available to all. 

To that point it was 

thought and believed 

that only the pope and 

church officials could adequately 

understand and 

interpret the scriptures. 

Wycliffe died a natural 

death, but 44 years 

later his bones were 

dug up, burned, and
