<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 />
site at <strong>the</strong><br />
United Methodist Health<br />
Care Center.<br />

He graduated from high<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 />

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 />
OF SAINT TERESA have arrived in <strong>Clinton</strong> to serve in ministry<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 />

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 />
health.ok.gov.<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 />

with Sayre officials about<br />
<strong>the</strong> 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 />
