<strong>Enrollment</strong><br />

<strong>totals</strong> 2,<strong>270</strong><br />

<strong>for</strong> <strong>first</strong> <strong>day</strong><br />

<strong>Enrollment</strong> numbers <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Clinton</strong> Public Schools<br />

were still a little hazy as of Fri<strong>day</strong>, but Supt. Kevin Hime<br />

said he was entertaining somewhere around 2,<strong>270</strong> students<br />

<strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> start of <strong>the</strong> 2012-2013 school year.<br />

That compares to 2,230 <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> start of <strong>the</strong> 2011-2012<br />

school year.<br />

Hime’s problem is that about 100 students that were<br />

pre-enrolled hadn’t checked in by <strong>the</strong> start of school Fri<strong>day</strong>.<br />

He isn’t sure how many of those students will show<br />

up Mon<strong>day</strong> and how many have moved on.<br />

The student counts <strong>for</strong> Southwest and Nance Elementary<br />

Schools along with <strong>Clinton</strong> High School<br />

are all over 500 with 375 students on campus at<br />

Washington Elementary School and 350 at <strong>Clinton</strong><br />

Middle School.<br />

These are all rough numbers. Hime was expecting<br />

to have a clearer picture of enrollment early this<br />

coming week.<br />

He thinks he’s okay in every grade except possibly <strong>for</strong><br />

$5,000 U-Haul<br />

trailer missing<br />

A $5,000 U-Haul trailer<br />

designed to carry autos<br />

has been reported stolen<br />

from <strong>the</strong> Creative Colors<br />

parking lot at 405 N. Sixth<br />

St. in <strong>Clinton</strong>.<br />

Although <strong>the</strong> report<br />

wasn’t turned in until<br />

Thurs<strong>day</strong>, employee Marsha<br />

Moore told police <strong>the</strong><br />

trailer was discovered<br />

missing Tues<strong>day</strong>.<br />

Police also have received<br />

a report of ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />

tire slashing in town, hiking<br />

<strong>the</strong> total to 17 in less<br />

than a week. The latest<br />

belonged to Bill Cummins<br />

and occurred in <strong>the</strong> 300<br />

block of S. 24th Street.<br />

It was reported to police<br />

Wednes<strong>day</strong>.<br />

A night earlier, all four<br />

tires on each of two cars<br />

parked just a block away in<br />

<strong>the</strong> 400 block of 24th were<br />

punctured.<br />

Cummins estimated<br />

it would cost $<strong>270</strong> to replace<br />

his tire, which was<br />

on a blue Ford Expedition<br />

van. Detective Lt. Ron<br />

McLemore said <strong>the</strong> tire<br />

was <strong>the</strong> rear one on <strong>the</strong><br />

driver’s side and had two<br />

small cuts in it.<br />

Detective Capt. Mike<br />

Murley on Wednes<strong>day</strong> said<br />

police had three suspects<br />

in <strong>the</strong> outbreak of tire<br />

Three of four revenue categories up <strong>for</strong> state<br />

Oklahoma kicked off<br />

fiscal 2013 with positive<br />

revenue growth in July,<br />

as three of <strong>the</strong> four major<br />

revenue sources showed<br />

substantial gains, state<br />

Finance Secretary Preston<br />

L. Doerflinger said.<br />

“Weakness in energy<br />

prices, plus rebates, led<br />

to a reduction in <strong>the</strong><br />

rate of growth in total<br />

collections, but we made<br />

up <strong>for</strong> that in o<strong>the</strong>r areas<br />

as consumer confidence<br />

remained high,”<br />

Doerflinger said. “That<br />

helped total receipts to<br />

beat <strong>the</strong> official estimate<br />

by more than 5 percent.”<br />

(Contintued from P. 1)<br />

but he said that “space<br />

is not an issue” <strong>for</strong> prekindergarten,<br />

since Nance<br />

has a new classroom addition.<br />

Of course, <strong>the</strong> pre-K<br />

grade also has added two<br />

classrooms at <strong>the</strong> intergenerational<br />

Gov. Mary Fallin said,<br />

“With <strong>the</strong> fourth-lowest<br />

unemployment rate in <strong>the</strong><br />

nation and third-best rate<br />

of job growth, <strong>the</strong> Oklahoma<br />

economy remains<br />

strong and resilient. With<br />

three of <strong>the</strong> four major<br />

revenue sources showing<br />

significant gains over<br />

last year, it’s clear <strong>the</strong><br />

state is moving in <strong>the</strong><br />

right direction. Looking<br />

ahead to next year, we<br />

can continue to build that<br />

<strong>for</strong>ward momentum by<br />

focusing on <strong>the</strong> kind of<br />

pro-business, pro-growth<br />

policies that will attract<br />

new jobs and more investment<br />

to Oklahoma.”<br />

continues to be pleased<br />

with “<strong>the</strong> fantastic<br />

growth in sales taxes.<br />

This is a leading indicator<br />

of economic well being.<br />

In fiscal 2012, sales<br />

tax growth averaged 9.7<br />

percent and we’re off to a<br />

good start in fiscal 2013.<br />

“While it is unrealistic<br />

to expect such a hefty<br />

growth rate to continue<br />

indefinitely, our economic<br />

advances over <strong>the</strong> past two<br />

years led to restoring our<br />

state savings account to a<br />

Sister Rosario Martinez<br />

is coming here from<br />

Oklahoma City. She is<br />

in her seventh year as<br />

a nun and is a <strong>for</strong>mer<br />

director of Hispanic ministries<br />

<strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> Oklahoma<br />

City Archdiocese.<br />

In fact, <strong>the</strong> main ministry<br />

of <strong>the</strong> three sisters will<br />

be local Hispanic families<br />

and adults.<br />

For <strong>the</strong> <strong>first</strong> two or<br />

three months, <strong>the</strong> nuns<br />

will be learning more<br />

about <strong>the</strong> local community.<br />

They may eventually<br />

branch out into o<strong>the</strong>r communities<br />

and ministries.<br />

Fa<strong>the</strong>r Arnold provided<br />

fur<strong>the</strong>r in<strong>for</strong>mation about<br />

<strong>the</strong> sisters and <strong>the</strong>ir order.<br />

“The sisters have consecrated<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir lives to <strong>the</strong><br />

service of God. They own<br />

nothing personally but<br />

share all material things<br />

in common.<br />

“They will not marry, as<br />

<strong>the</strong>y have given <strong>the</strong>mselves<br />

as brides of Christ to serve<br />

his church. They make a<br />

promise of obedience to<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir superior and to <strong>the</strong><br />

teaching authority of <strong>the</strong><br />

church to ‘go into all nations’<br />

and serve wherever<br />

<strong>the</strong>y are asked.<br />

“Their <strong>first</strong> job is to<br />

pray. As <strong>the</strong>y pray morning,<br />

mid<strong>day</strong>, evening and<br />

night prayer each <strong>day</strong>, <strong>the</strong>y<br />

will intercede <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> needs<br />

of <strong>the</strong> church, <strong>the</strong> world,<br />

our local community, <strong>the</strong><br />

sick, poor and dying.<br />

“Secondly, <strong>the</strong>y will<br />

educate. Since all three<br />

sisters are bilingual,<br />

<strong>the</strong>y will minister to<br />

both Spanish and English<br />

speaking cultures.<br />

They will teach religious<br />

education, sacramental<br />

preparation, scripture<br />

studies, retreats and<br />

help with local community<br />

events.<br />

“They will benefit <strong>the</strong><br />

community of <strong>Clinton</strong><br />

and surrounding areas<br />

by helping <strong>the</strong> Hispanic<br />

community to integrate,<br />

participate and contribute<br />

more fully into society.<br />

“Hispanics have a<br />

strong love of family and<br />

hard work ethic — ideals<br />

that we as Catholics consider<br />

to be very American.”<br />

Escorting <strong>the</strong> three<br />

nuns to <strong>Clinton</strong> were<br />

Maria Isabelle Torrez,<br />

senior provincial superior;<br />

and Neomi Lara,<br />

administrator. Both are<br />

from Houston.<br />

The nuns all agreed<br />

that <strong>the</strong> growing church<br />

here, which recently underwent<br />

a major expansion,<br />

and <strong>the</strong> large Hispanic<br />

congregation played<br />

roles in <strong>the</strong> assignment of<br />

<strong>the</strong> sisters to <strong>Clinton</strong>.<br />

The sisters’ official habit<br />

is brown in color, but<br />

<strong>the</strong>y may also wear white.<br />

THREE SISTERS FROM THE MISSIONARY CARMELITES<br />

P. 4, <strong>Clinton</strong> (Okla.), <strong>Daily</strong> <strong>News</strong>, Satur<strong>day</strong>, August 18, 2012<br />

Opinion<br />

For years we have been proud of <strong>the</strong> recognition <strong>Clinton</strong> receives <strong>for</strong><br />

having one of <strong>the</strong> premier football programs in <strong>the</strong> country. Now in addition<br />

to that, people are also looking at our <strong>Clinton</strong> Public Schools as<br />

a true leader in technology and education.<br />

The latest academic advancement is <strong>the</strong> use of <strong>the</strong> iPad as a mainstream<br />

teaching tool. This year every fifth and sixth grade student<br />

at Washington Elementary School will have one of <strong>the</strong>se cutting edge<br />

computers <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir own use.<br />

And that is just <strong>the</strong> start. The goal is by <strong>the</strong> time those students reach<br />

high school, every pupil in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Clinton</strong> school system will have an iPad<br />

<strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir own use.<br />

It is easy to <strong>for</strong>get that many school systems only offer mainstream<br />

classes in a one-size-fits-all approach to learning − but not in <strong>Clinton</strong>.<br />

<strong>Clinton</strong> schools have long been innovative leaders in education. Things<br />

like advanced placement and gifted and talented classes have been a part<br />

of <strong>the</strong> curriculum <strong>for</strong> decades. Now you can even take college courses<br />

while attending <strong>Clinton</strong> High School.<br />

And <strong>the</strong> programs offered here are not just <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> straight “A” students.<br />

There is just as strong a commitment to help <strong>the</strong> special needs<br />

and “B,” “C,” and “D” students gain knowledge.<br />

“Oh what a tangled web we weave, when <strong>first</strong> we<br />

practice to deceive!” — Sir Walter Scott<br />

It’s one of my all-time favorite quotes. To me,<br />

it has so many layers of meaning that one could<br />

contemplate it <strong>for</strong> a long time and not divine all of<br />

its richness. It came to mind when I <strong>first</strong> thought<br />

of this topic.<br />

I’m a big defender of <strong>the</strong> English language, perhaps<br />

not on a par with many grammar teachers<br />

I’ve known over<br />

It’s a<br />

thought<br />

By Steve Belcher<br />

<strong>the</strong> years, but I<br />

still like to do<br />

my bit occasionally<br />

(really, it’s<br />

sad it even needs<br />

defending). And<br />

I came up with<br />

a stunner of a<br />

reason <strong>for</strong> not just studying English and its use<br />

but embracing it as if it was essential, because it<br />

is, especially now.<br />

I’ve become acquainted in <strong>the</strong> last few <strong>day</strong>s, actually<br />

over <strong>the</strong> past many years, with all of <strong>the</strong> myriad<br />

ways we deceive each o<strong>the</strong>r. And we don’t do it just<br />

as a means of lying to our fellow man. Many folks<br />

do it as a part of <strong>the</strong>ir worka<strong>day</strong> jobs. It’s how <strong>the</strong>y<br />

make a living, and it’s perfectly legal.<br />

And I tend to suspect one of <strong>the</strong> best ways we<br />

have of defending ourselves against this deluge of<br />

verbal gray areas is to know English inside and out<br />

and its accompanying skills of vocabulary, reading<br />

and oratory.<br />

The o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>day</strong> I bought a microwave oven as a<br />

replacement <strong>for</strong> one that went caput. There were<br />

several colorful boxes that greeted me on <strong>the</strong> store<br />

shelves. I had only a few minutes to buy said appliance<br />

on my lunch hour from work. In <strong>the</strong> case of<br />

this particular item, <strong>the</strong> box it came in was covered<br />

with so many <strong>for</strong>eign languages that I had a hard<br />

time finding something I could read.<br />

When I finally did, it in<strong>for</strong>med me <strong>the</strong> appliance<br />

was stainless steel. I really didn’t have that as a<br />

priority among my harried considerations. Really,<br />

I should have given its power rating more consideration,<br />

if anything. I just wanted a small, inexpensive<br />

microwave that would do <strong>the</strong> job of cooking fast.<br />

But I bought <strong>the</strong> “stainless steel” appliance anyway.<br />

Imagine my amusement when I got <strong>the</strong> item home<br />

and unpacked it that evening, only to find that <strong>the</strong><br />

stainless steel consisted of two strips less than two<br />

inches wide across <strong>the</strong> top and bottom of <strong>the</strong> front.<br />

The rest of <strong>the</strong> appliance was painted black. To me,<br />

calling <strong>the</strong> appliance stainless steel was a verbal<br />

gray area, but I’m sure it probably sold a few units.<br />

Rocking along fur<strong>the</strong>r with this, I’m often rewarded<br />

when I laboriously read down into <strong>the</strong><br />

myriad paperwork that comes with just about<br />

everything <strong>the</strong>se <strong>day</strong>s. Reading is an exercise in<br />

patience. People tend to bury <strong>the</strong> really important,<br />

nitty-gritty stuff down deep in <strong>the</strong>ir prize literature.<br />

Sure enough, toward <strong>the</strong> back of a car manual I<br />

unear<strong>the</strong>d some surprising in<strong>for</strong>mation having to<br />

do with <strong>the</strong> computers autos are festooned with<br />

<strong>the</strong>se <strong>day</strong>s and how not only car dealers but also<br />

law en<strong>for</strong>cement can extract all kinds of in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

off of those computers about everything <strong>the</strong> owner<br />

does from how fast he goes and how judiciously he<br />

uses <strong>the</strong> brakes to even what choices he makes on<br />

his radio and his seating adjustments — talk about<br />

“Big Bro<strong>the</strong>r” watching everything we do.<br />

We’re in a political season right now, and if a<br />

person wants to see verbal obtuseness in action on<br />

an Olympic level, this is certainly <strong>the</strong> time. Folks<br />

need to listen hard and read even harder. Casting<br />

those votes is a privilege and a responsibility. Part<br />

of that responsibility is not just being in<strong>for</strong>med,<br />

but being able to see around all of <strong>the</strong> intentional<br />

obscurity and hyperbole. With apologies to Oklahoma’s<br />

favorite son, Will Rogers, let me just say<br />

I never met a poll I really trusted, and I <strong>for</strong> sure<br />

never saw one I was willing to take at face value.<br />

<strong>Clinton</strong> <strong>Daily</strong> <strong>News</strong> Editorial<br />

<strong>Clinton</strong> schools lead <strong>the</strong> way<br />

People tend to bury<br />

important things<br />

Letters to<br />

<strong>the</strong> editor<br />

Dear Editor,<br />

I happened to be out of <strong>the</strong> state during <strong>the</strong><br />

week of <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>um <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> mayoral candidates.<br />

One of <strong>the</strong> things that I gleaned from your coverage<br />

was that of city-supplied health insurance<br />

<strong>for</strong> members of <strong>the</strong> city council and mayor. I applaud<br />

Jason Hulin and Don Rodolph <strong>for</strong> removing<br />

<strong>the</strong>mselves from that insurance as of January<br />

2013. I applaud <strong>the</strong> council <strong>for</strong> also removing<br />

<strong>the</strong> mayor from that insurance beginning at <strong>the</strong><br />

same time.<br />

My question is why should we continue to provide<br />

insurance to <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r two council members?<br />

If <strong>the</strong>y are Medicare eligible, why should we, as<br />

taxpayers (and also a growing elderly population<br />

of taxpayers) of <strong>Clinton</strong> provide this “benefit.”<br />

Most of us elderly people pay <strong>for</strong> Medicare<br />

Supplement and Medicare Part D (prescription<br />

coverage) out of “our” pockets, making a considerable<br />

dent in our income. Why would it be<br />

different <strong>for</strong> a council member?<br />

I call on Phyllis Smith and Bob Marcy to voluntarily<br />

remove <strong>the</strong>mselves and save <strong>the</strong> city <strong>the</strong><br />

cost of <strong>the</strong> premiums. The last time I inquired<br />

about <strong>the</strong> cost was when Grayson Bottom was<br />

city manager. If my memory serves me right,<br />

it was between $4,200 and $6,000 per council<br />

member per year.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Bobby Hoffman<br />

We should all be pleased that we have a board of education, administrators<br />

and teachers in our school system that are willing to<br />

look <strong>for</strong>, and <strong>the</strong>n take on <strong>the</strong> challenge of, implementing new ways<br />

to better educate students.<br />

And you, <strong>the</strong> people, also deserve a lot of credit. Because you were<br />

recently willing to approve <strong>the</strong> largest school bond issue in <strong>the</strong> history<br />

of <strong>the</strong> school, we not only got <strong>the</strong> bricks and mortar, we also got facilities<br />

that are ready to bring <strong>the</strong> latest technology into <strong>the</strong> classroom.<br />

<strong>Clinton</strong> Schools are truly pioneers in introducing this new iPad<br />

technology. We are proud our school board and administration have<br />

<strong>the</strong> courage to be on <strong>the</strong> cutting edges of learning even though it<br />

would have been much easier to sit on <strong>the</strong> sideline and watch o<strong>the</strong>rs<br />

move ahead while our students watched.<br />

In <strong>Clinton</strong> we are showing <strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> world that we can have<br />

both a great athletic program and a <strong>first</strong>-class education so no student<br />

in <strong>Clinton</strong> is sidelined.<br />

When you have <strong>the</strong> support of <strong>the</strong> community, quality administrators,<br />

and some of <strong>the</strong> best teachers anywhere along with a board of education<br />

made up of visionaries that all want our children to have <strong>the</strong> best<br />

education available anywhere, <strong>the</strong> future looks very bright <strong>for</strong> <strong>Clinton</strong>.<br />

Harry Reid taking<br />

politics to a new low<br />

By Donald Lambro<br />

Presidential campaigns can get down-and-dirty<br />

at times, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is<br />

pushing this year’s contest to an even dirtier level.<br />

That’s saying a lot, because <strong>the</strong> Nevada Democrat<br />

has a reputation <strong>for</strong> being one of <strong>the</strong> dirtiest politicians<br />

in <strong>the</strong> sleaze-slinging business.<br />

In an interview with The Huffington Post, Reid<br />

charged that an unnamed investor at Bain Capital,<br />

<strong>the</strong> business investment company Mitt Romney<br />

founded, told him that Romney hadn’t paid any federal<br />

taxes <strong>for</strong> at least a decade.<br />

“He didn’t pay taxes <strong>for</strong> 10 years,” Reid stated<br />

flatly. “Now, do I know that’s true? Well, I’m not<br />

certain.”<br />

The incendiary charge, without an iota of proof<br />

to back it up, was bad enough, but he repeated it on<br />

<strong>the</strong> Senate floor, where lawmakers can make all <strong>the</strong><br />

false accusations <strong>the</strong>y want and are constitutionally<br />

protected from libel law.<br />

Reid, apparently, believes he can make any claim<br />

he wants about Romney and get away with it. In this<br />

case, he was doing <strong>the</strong> dirty work in <strong>the</strong> midst of a<br />

hard-fought campaign in which President Obama<br />

is in a dead heat with his well-funded Republican<br />

rival and could end up on <strong>the</strong> ash heap of failed,<br />

one-term presidents.<br />

Reid didn’t just toss <strong>the</strong> charge out <strong>the</strong>re and<br />

leave it at that. No, he rubbed it in as if it were<br />

gospel truth. He had it on good authority, he said,<br />

though he isn’t saying who that person is − if, in<br />

fact, anyone really told him this.<br />

“I mean, you do pretty well if you don’t pay taxes<br />

<strong>for</strong> 10 years when you’re making millions and millions<br />

of dollars,” Reid said in <strong>the</strong> interview.<br />

Later, he felt <strong>the</strong> need to elaborate fur<strong>the</strong>r on<br />

what The Washington Post described as “Mr. Reid’s<br />

unseemly drive-by” attack, saying that “a number<br />

of people tell me that.”<br />

This is <strong>the</strong> worst kind of smear politics possible,<br />

making unsubstantiated accusations against <strong>the</strong> political<br />

leader of <strong>the</strong> opposing party, charging that he<br />

was a tax dodger.<br />

Reid has shamelessly produced no evidence to<br />

support his charges. He knows <strong>the</strong> way <strong>the</strong> game is<br />

played. All you have to do is hurl an outrageous accusation<br />

against Obama’s opponent, knowing that <strong>the</strong>re<br />

are people out <strong>the</strong>re who will believe it.<br />

“If <strong>the</strong> senator has any proof, he owes it to Mr.<br />

Romney, <strong>the</strong> presumptive Republican presidential<br />

nominee, to put it on <strong>the</strong> record, now,” <strong>the</strong> Post said<br />

in a blistering editorial Wednes<strong>day</strong>.<br />

“O<strong>the</strong>rwise, Mr. Reid ought to pause and reflect on<br />

<strong>the</strong> record of ano<strong>the</strong>r senator who once claimed to have<br />

a list of communists and spies at <strong>the</strong> State Department<br />

− and could not substantiate it. Mr. Reid’s smear<br />

tactics are not unlike those of Joseph McCarthy and<br />

deserve equal condemnation,” <strong>the</strong> Post said.<br />

Reid’s charges come on <strong>the</strong> heels of <strong>the</strong> Obama campaign’s<br />

repeated attacks on Romney’s decision not to<br />

release any fur<strong>the</strong>r tax records beyond <strong>the</strong> 2010 and<br />

2011 figures he has thus far made public.<br />

Obama’s attack squad suggests that Romney must<br />

be hiding something in his previous tax filings, even<br />

though he replied this week, “I have paid taxes every<br />

year, and a lot of taxes, so Harry is wrong.”<br />

Much, if not most, of <strong>the</strong> taxes Romney has paid<br />

since he left his <strong>for</strong>mer firm have been on capital gains<br />

income from investments. Those gains are taxed at<br />

a 15-percent rate, as provided <strong>for</strong> in <strong>the</strong> federal tax<br />

code, because Congress in its infinite wisdom wants<br />

to encourage fur<strong>the</strong>r investment in <strong>the</strong> U.S. economy.<br />

That rate also helps ordinary older Americans<br />

who live off <strong>the</strong>ir capital gains and dividends in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

retirement years.<br />

Romney knows <strong>the</strong> only reason Obama and <strong>the</strong><br />

Democrats want him to disclose all of his tax returns<br />

over <strong>the</strong> past 10 years is that <strong>the</strong>y can use that in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

to play <strong>the</strong>ir class-warfare game, which <strong>the</strong>y’re<br />

very good at, and thus hope to distract voters from<br />

<strong>the</strong> issues that matter: four years of weak economic<br />

growth, 42 straight months of high unemployment, and<br />

an unbroken line of trillion dollar-plus budget deficits<br />

that have plunged our country into unprecedented debt.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)<br />

— You’re likely to come up<br />

with an idea <strong>for</strong> devising<br />

a spin-off from one of your<br />

greatest sources of earning.<br />

It may require an imaginative<br />

twist, but it’s well<br />

within your scope.<br />

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.<br />

22) — You’ll be at your best<br />

in a situation where you<br />

have to juggle two endeavors<br />

simultaneously. You’ll<br />

understand how <strong>the</strong>se projects<br />

are interrelated, which<br />

will give you <strong>the</strong> advantage.<br />

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.<br />

23) — If you’re smart, you<br />

won’t discuss with o<strong>the</strong>rs<br />

your plans to fur<strong>the</strong>r a<br />

personal ambition. This includes<br />

even people you hope<br />

will eventually participate.<br />

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.<br />

22) — Your pals will have a<br />

stronger than usual influence<br />

on your outlook and<br />

attitude. Take cues from<br />

of personal satisfaction<br />

will be gained from a challenge<br />

that requires your resourcefulness<br />

to overcome.<br />

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-<br />

Jan. 19) — Usually, it’s not<br />

a good idea to offer advice<br />

to just anyone. However,<br />

if one of your friends is in<br />

dire need of some helpful<br />

suggestions, speak up.<br />

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-<br />

Feb. 19) — When in a partnership<br />

arrangement, you<br />

should let your cohort do<br />

conclusion is greater if you<br />

mastermind <strong>the</strong> ef<strong>for</strong>t.<br />

you might have to make a<br />

equal value from which to<br />

choose. Don’t be indecisive<br />

— instead be conclusive.<br />

ARIES (March 21-April<br />

19) — Be prepared to teach<br />

instead of merely talking.<br />

No one is going to follow<br />

your ideas or suggestions<br />

unless you <strong>first</strong> demonstrate<br />

how well <strong>the</strong>y work.<br />

TAURUS (April 20-May<br />

20) — Make it a point to set<br />

some time aside <strong>for</strong> a little<br />

fun. A well-deserved break<br />

will serve as a marvelous<br />

release from any tensions.<br />

GEMINI (May 21-June<br />

20) — Prioritize your goals<br />

and complete <strong>the</strong> most important<br />

one <strong>first</strong>. Only by<br />

carefully delegating your<br />

time and ef<strong>for</strong>t can you<br />

hope to get anything done.<br />

CANCER (June 21-July<br />

22) — Being extremely<br />

observant at present, <strong>the</strong>re<br />

isn’t much that is likely<br />

to escape your attention.<br />

You’ll not only grasp <strong>the</strong><br />

essence of ideas quickly, but<br />

you’ll be equally as eager to<br />

impart what you learn.<br />

Drought cost-share funds available<br />

Oklahoma farmers and<br />

ranchers looking <strong>for</strong> help<br />

to cope with drought conditions<br />

now have additional<br />

options available to <strong>the</strong>m<br />

thanks to <strong>the</strong> announcement<br />

this past week by<br />

Gov. Mary Fallin that $1.4<br />

million will be made available<br />

through <strong>the</strong> statewide<br />

Conservation Cost-Share<br />

Program administered by<br />

<strong>the</strong> Oklahoma Conservation<br />

Commission.<br />

Joe Parker, president of<br />

<strong>the</strong> Oklahoma Association<br />

of Conservation Districts<br />

(OACD), lauded <strong>the</strong> timing<br />

of <strong>the</strong> announcement.<br />

“The conservation districts<br />

of Oklahoma are glad<br />

to see <strong>the</strong>se funds available<br />

to help producers throughout<br />

<strong>the</strong> state,” Parker said.<br />

“The weight of this drought<br />

continues to press down<br />

on Oklahoma Agriculture.<br />

Any help we can provide in<br />

this time of need should be<br />

priority one.”<br />

On Mon<strong>day</strong>, Aug. 13,<br />

<strong>the</strong> commission took action<br />

to make monies available<br />

<strong>for</strong> additional conservation<br />

work through <strong>the</strong> statewide<br />

cost-share program.<br />

This move by <strong>the</strong> commission<br />

makes <strong>the</strong>se funds<br />

available to agriculture producers<br />

attempting to cope<br />

with <strong>the</strong> record drought by<br />

installing various conservation<br />

practices including<br />

pond construction, well<br />

drilling, connection of pasture<br />

tap hydrants to water<br />

systems and grass plantings<br />

in pastures damaged<br />

by <strong>the</strong> drought.<br />

These funds can also be<br />

utilized to control invasive<br />

species like <strong>the</strong> Eastern<br />

Red Cedar, a move that can<br />

also help reduce fuel loads<br />

<strong>for</strong> wildfires.<br />

According to OACD executive<br />

director Clay Pope,<br />

producers should contact<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir local conservation<br />

district to check on <strong>the</strong><br />

availability of funding in<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir area.<br />

“Our local district<br />

boards will be prioritizing<br />

<strong>the</strong> use of <strong>the</strong>se funds<br />

and working to make<br />

dollars available to producers<br />

as quickly as pos-<br />

West Nile worsening<br />

Gov. Mary Fallin is joining with state and local public<br />

health officials to raise awareness of West Nile virus and<br />

<strong>the</strong> steps Oklahomans should take to protect <strong>the</strong>mselves<br />

from <strong>the</strong> mosquito-borne illness.<br />

“West Nile virus is a serious disease that can be<br />

life-altering or even fatal,” said Fallin. “Many of our<br />

fellow Oklahomans are now hospitalized with West<br />

Nile virus. Even though we are early into <strong>the</strong> season,<br />

at least 61 cases and three deaths have been reported<br />

in Oklahoma. The best way to prevent West Nile virus<br />

is to avoid mosquito bites.”<br />

Fallin urged Oklahomans to “fight <strong>the</strong> bite” by taking<br />

personal precautions to reduce <strong>the</strong> risk of mosquito bites,<br />

including using insect repellent when going outdoors, installing<br />

or repairing screens on windows and doors, and<br />

emptying standing water from items outside <strong>the</strong> home<br />

like buckets, cans, flower pots, and tires so mosquitoes<br />

have no place to breed.<br />

Bird baths and outdoor pet water bowls should be<br />

emptied and refilled daily and leaves and debris should<br />

be cleaned from gutters to ensure <strong>the</strong>y are not clogged.<br />

“This disease has hit Oklahomans hard this year and<br />

un<strong>for</strong>tunately, those who seem to be most at risk are older<br />

citizens. If you know persons who might be at particular<br />

risk, such as parents or grandparents over age 50, please<br />

check with <strong>the</strong>m to make certain <strong>the</strong>y are taking precautions,”<br />

Fallin said.<br />

“In addition, anyone spending significant time outdoors<br />

must also make certain to use insect repellent<br />

and carry it with <strong>the</strong>m <strong>for</strong> reapplication if necessary.<br />

Oklahomans are or will soon be gearing up <strong>for</strong> night-time<br />

outdoor activities like high school football games, athletic<br />

practices, lakeside camping, gardening and evening jogs.<br />

Farmers and those who work outside are particularly susceptible<br />

to <strong>the</strong> disease. Everyone in <strong>the</strong>se circumstances<br />

must be sure to take proper precautions.”<br />

Fallin urged those who believe <strong>the</strong>y have contracted<br />

West Nile to seek immediate medical attention.<br />

“Symptoms appear within three to 15 <strong>day</strong>s after<br />

exposure and generally appear flu-like, with headaches,<br />

muscle weakness, fever and nausea all being common.<br />

Anyone who suspects <strong>the</strong>y have West Nile virus should<br />

immediately contact a doctor.”<br />

West Nile virus is a seasonal epidemic that begins in<br />

late summer and continues into <strong>the</strong> fall. Case activity<br />

spikes every three to four years depending on conditions<br />

that encourage a higher number of infected mosquitoes.<br />

Healthy, active adults who are 50 and older have <strong>the</strong><br />

highest risk of illness, including neuroinvasive disease,<br />

which causes inflammation of <strong>the</strong> brain and spinal cord.<br />

The age range of cases reported among Oklahomans<br />

this year is from 12 to 90 years old. The Centers <strong>for</strong><br />

Disease Control and Prevention reports 32 states have<br />

West Nile cases.<br />

For more in<strong>for</strong>mation on West Nile virus, visit <strong>the</strong><br />

Oklahoma State Department of Health’s website at www.<br />

sible,” Pope said.<br />

“We would encourage<br />

anyone interested in <strong>the</strong>se<br />

funds to visit with <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

local conservation district<br />

4x14.5<br />

office and <strong>the</strong>ir local board<br />

members. We are glad<br />

<strong>the</strong>se resources are available,<br />

and we want to do all<br />

we can to help.”<br />

Lady Reds romp <strong>for</strong> <strong>first</strong> victory<br />

By SEAN STEPHENS<br />

<strong>Clinton</strong>’s softball team managed to break into <strong>the</strong> win column in grand fashion<br />

Thurs<strong>day</strong> with an 11-0 win over Geary in <strong>the</strong> <strong>first</strong> round of <strong>the</strong> I-40 Classic held<br />

at <strong>the</strong> CHS Ballpark.<br />

The Lady Reds (1-5) fell 10-0 to Tecumseh later in <strong>the</strong> <strong>day</strong>, but had a little<br />

time to savor <strong>the</strong> <strong>first</strong> victory of <strong>the</strong> season.<br />

“We came out and got after <strong>the</strong>m,” said coach Kelly Gaunt about <strong>the</strong> win over<br />

Geary. “Almost everybody<br />

got a chance to play and<br />

it was good <strong>for</strong> us to get<br />

a win.”<br />

Devyn Cobb picked up<br />

<strong>the</strong> win in <strong>the</strong> pitcher’s<br />

circle <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lady Reds.<br />

In four innings of work<br />

she struck out four batters,<br />

gave up only two<br />

hits, issued no walks and<br />

had a pair of 1-2-3 innings.<br />

“She threw strikes and<br />

that’s a big key <strong>for</strong> us,”<br />

Gaunt said. “We can’t af<strong>for</strong>d<br />

to give up walks and<br />

extra bases. We can’t beat<br />

anybody if we do too much<br />

of that.”<br />

The Lady Reds started<br />

<strong>the</strong> game as <strong>the</strong> visiting<br />

team and put up five runs<br />

in <strong>the</strong> <strong>first</strong> inning and<br />

would score ano<strong>the</strong>r six<br />

in <strong>the</strong> second be<strong>for</strong>e doing<br />

some mass substitution in<br />

<strong>the</strong> third and fourth.<br />

“We had a chance to<br />

play a lot of people and<br />

that’s always good <strong>for</strong> a<br />

young team,” Gaunt said.<br />

Offensively <strong>Clinton</strong><br />

collected several hits on<br />

<strong>the</strong> afternoon.<br />

Miranda Cardenas<br />

drove in three runs with<br />

an RBI-double and a tworun<br />

single.<br />

Ashlynn Smith also<br />

knocked in three runs<br />

with an RBI-single and a<br />

two-run single.<br />

Side effects of beta blockers can be controlled<br />

DEAR DOCTOR K: My<br />

doctor wants me to take a<br />

beta blocker <strong>for</strong> my high<br />

blood pressure. Can you<br />

tell me about <strong>the</strong>se drugs?<br />

DEAR READER: Beta<br />

blockers are one of <strong>the</strong><br />

most important classes<br />

of drugs invented in <strong>the</strong><br />

past half-century. In fact,<br />

<strong>the</strong>y are so important that<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir inventor, Sir James<br />

Black, was honored with<br />

<strong>the</strong> Nobel Prize. They have<br />

saved many lives -- but that<br />

doesn’t mean <strong>the</strong>y are <strong>for</strong><br />

everyone, or without possible<br />

side effects.<br />

Beta blockers are primarily<br />

used to control high<br />

blood pressure (hypertension)<br />

and abnormal heart<br />

rhythms. They are also<br />

used to prevent fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />

heart problems in patients<br />

who have had heart attacks<br />

or who have heart failure.<br />

It’s not uncommon <strong>for</strong> a<br />

person to have hyperten-<br />

Girl hears night noises from parents room<br />

DEAR ABBY: One<br />

night I woke up to my<br />

cat scratching at my bedroom<br />

door to be let in.<br />

When I got up<br />

and opened <strong>the</strong><br />

door, I heard my<br />

parents making<br />

love. They were<br />

so loud it grossed<br />

me out, because<br />

my little sister is<br />

10 and we share<br />

a room right next<br />

to <strong>the</strong>irs. She still<br />

doesn’t know about<br />

this kind of stuff.<br />

I want to tell <strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong>y<br />

don’t need to be doing<br />

that, because what if she<br />

got scared and woke up<br />

and tried to go in <strong>the</strong>re?<br />

What should I do — tell<br />

<strong>the</strong>m to go to a motel?<br />

— GROSSED OUT IN<br />

MADISON, MISS.<br />

DE A R GR O S SE D<br />

OUT: Do NOT tell your<br />

By Jeanne Phillips<br />

sion and abnormal heart<br />

rhythms along with heart<br />

attacks or heart failure in<br />

<strong>the</strong> past. So some people<br />

get multiple simultaneous<br />

benefits from beta blockers.<br />

Beta blockers lower<br />

blood pressure primarily<br />

by slowing <strong>the</strong> rate<br />

and <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>ce with which<br />

<strong>the</strong> heart pumps. They<br />

do this by blocking <strong>the</strong><br />

hormones norepinephrine<br />

and epinephrine. Both<br />

hormones can accelerate<br />

your heart rate. After being<br />

used <strong>for</strong> a long time,<br />

beta blockers also tend to<br />

relax blood vessels.<br />

There are three types<br />

of beta blockers. Some are<br />

longer-acting; some enter<br />

<strong>the</strong> brain more easily; and<br />

some are called cardioselective<br />

and affect primarily<br />

<strong>the</strong> heart, not <strong>the</strong> lungs.<br />

The type of beta blocker<br />

your doctor prescribes will<br />

depend on your particular<br />

parents to go to a motel.<br />

If <strong>the</strong> cat hadn’t wakened<br />

you and you hadn’t opened<br />

your bedroom door, you<br />

wouldn’t have<br />

heard a thing.<br />

Be glad that you<br />

have parents who<br />

love each o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

and that you<br />

didn’t overhear<br />

<strong>the</strong>m fighting.<br />

If your sister<br />

ever wakes up<br />

and gets scared,<br />

she should know<br />

she can wake you up.<br />

P.S. At age 10, your<br />

sister shouldn’t be completely<br />

in <strong>the</strong> dark about<br />

<strong>the</strong> facts of life. And <strong>the</strong><br />

person who should be<br />

talking to her about <strong>the</strong>m<br />

is her mo<strong>the</strong>r.<br />

DEAR ABBY: I have<br />

an aunt (by marriage)<br />

who I think may be suffering<br />

from mental is-<br />

medical needs. (I have a list<br />

of <strong>the</strong> different types of beta<br />

blockers on my website.)<br />

Since you’re new to<br />

beta blockers, let your doctor<br />

know if you think you<br />

may be having any side<br />

effects. Some people taking<br />

beta blockers complain of<br />

fatigue. Ligh<strong>the</strong>adedness<br />

from a drop in blood pressure<br />

is also a risk. Erectile<br />

dysfunction is ano<strong>the</strong>r possible<br />

side effect.<br />

Beta blockers can sometimes<br />

cause wheezing, particularly<br />

in people with<br />

asthma. In people with<br />

diabetes on blood sugarlowering<br />

medicines, being<br />

on a beta blocker can sometimes<br />

mask <strong>the</strong> symptoms<br />

of low blood sugar.<br />

These side effects often<br />

can go away with adjustments<br />

to <strong>the</strong> dose of <strong>the</strong><br />

beta blocker or switching to<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r type. For example,<br />

if you have wheezing, you<br />

sues. All of a sudden,<br />

she is calling members<br />

of our family and telling<br />

<strong>the</strong>m that “so-and-so” (it<br />

varies) is talking about<br />

<strong>the</strong>m behind <strong>the</strong>ir backs.<br />

Of course, none of it is<br />

true, but it has caused a<br />

huge rift in our family.<br />

Family members have<br />

had big arguments over<br />

<strong>the</strong>se calls.<br />

The aunt is in her<br />

mid-50s and has always<br />

been quiet and sweet to<br />

everyone, so of course<br />

when someone gets a call,<br />

<strong>the</strong> person tends to believe<br />

her. This is tearing<br />

our family to pieces, and<br />

no one knows <strong>for</strong> sure if<br />

she’s having problems or<br />

if she is telling <strong>the</strong> truth.<br />

HELP! My cousins are<br />

no longer speaking to one<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r or me. I’m not<br />

close to her, but I have<br />

fallen prey to her phone<br />

calls to o<strong>the</strong>rs. What<br />

can be switched to a beta<br />

blocker that affects mainly<br />

<strong>the</strong> heart but not <strong>the</strong> lungs.<br />

We have more in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

on drugs that lower<br />

high blood pressure in our<br />

Special Health Report,<br />

“Hypertension.” (Learn<br />

more about this report at<br />

AskDoctorK.com, or call<br />

877-649-9457 toll-free to<br />

order it.)<br />

Even if you experience<br />

side effects, do not<br />

stop taking beta blockers<br />

without <strong>first</strong> checking<br />

with your doctor. Suddenly<br />

stopping <strong>the</strong>m might cause<br />

an unsafe rise in blood<br />

pressure or a worsening<br />

of angina.<br />

Beta blockers were<br />

<strong>first</strong> introduced at about<br />

<strong>the</strong> time I started my<br />

medical practice. I’m glad<br />

I have had <strong>the</strong>se medicines<br />

available to help my<br />

patients throughout my<br />

whole career.<br />

should I do? — SLAN-<br />

Sayre Mon<strong>day</strong> to visit<br />

with Sayre officials about<br />

<strong>the</strong> grant.<br />

“The Tiger III grant<br />

was approved in December.<br />

Congressman<br />

Lucas was very helpful<br />

in making this happen.<br />

Construction will start<br />

in about 30 <strong>day</strong>s. We’re<br />

excited. The last time<br />

crude oil was moved out<br />

by rail here was in 1932.<br />

Now, we’re shipping it<br />

every <strong>day</strong>,” said Farmrail<br />
