Sharing the Blessings of Christmas Believe it or not, less than 4 months remain until Christmas. The best part of Christmas is the opportunity to share your abundance with the less fortunate. The time to start preparing to do that is now. There will be a meeting at the Cheyenne United Methodist Church fellowship hall September 9 at 6 p.m. to make preliminary
plans for the Angel Tree and Christmas Basket projects. These projects have become too large for the Sorosis Club to continue. The Sorosis Club has always received tremendous support from the area, but they would like for other organizations to take on more responsibility for these projects. If you have any interest in helping these worthy projects, please
Weekly Devotion The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree; they shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Pslam 92:12 James 1:12 says, “Blessed (happy, to be envied) is the man who is patient under trial and stands up under temptation, for when he has stood the test and been approved, he will receive [the victor’s] crown of life which God has promised to those who love Him.” Don’t get upset if somebody gives you a hard time today. Don’t get upset if you don’t get your way, or if somebody says or does something you don’t like. If you are set up for an upset, stay stable - it is only a test.
attend the meeting. Everyone is welcome and your input is needed. This is a great opportunity for churches, civic organizations, clubs, or any other group to reach out to the community. If you would like more information, please call Kathy Sadler, Carolyn Ford, Brittany Allen, or Sue Pearson.

LEARNING...Donna Lucas shows youngsters how to knead bread at a past Pioneer Day Celebration. America’s Favorite Old-Fashioned
Cancer Awareness Walkathon this Friday in Cheyenne Cancer, the second leading cause of death in Oklahoma, seems like too huge of a problem to tackle for most of us. But high school student leaders across the state are helping to declare victory over cancer during Win-Win Week. Our students are encouraging healthy, cancer-free lifestyles and raising money to support cancer patients from all over Oklahoma. All of the funds raised stay right here in Oklahoma and will support patients treated at the Peggy and Charles Stephenson Cancer Center, Oklahoma’s only comprehensive academic cancer center. Cancer takes a terrible toll on Oklahomans. One in two men and one in three women in our state will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetimes. There are approximately 18,000 new cases of cancer every year in our state, and about 7,500 Oklahomans die every year from this disease. WinWin Week is a statewide effort to build cancer awareness among high school students by using their athletic events during the week of Sept. 9-13th to highlight cancer prevention. Students in our community are helping to prepare cancer prevention programs and raise funds to support Oklahoma cancer patients.
Win-Win Week is our opportunity to take on cancer, and the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association will award a state championship trophy to the school in each classification that has the most effective cancer prevention and fundraising programs. Schools that raise at least $10,000 will have a room named for them in the new Peggy and Charles Stephenson Cancer Center building in Oklahoma City, which opened last year. Cheyenne High School already has a room named after them years of previous participation.
How can we reduce the odds of getting cancer? Research shows that by eliminating tobacco from our lives, eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly, we can prevent up to half of all cancer deaths. If you need help to quit using tobacco, call toll-free 800-QUITNOW. Tobacco companies spend more than $213 million each year in Oklahoma to encourage us to use a product that includes the following carcinogens: arsenic, acetone, ammonia, cadmium, formaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide and polonium. More than 87,000 kids under the age of 18 in Oklahoma will die prematurely as a result of tobacco. The Peggy and Charles Stephenson Cancer Center is Oklahoma’s only comprehensive academic cancer center and has significant programs in cancer prevention and control, laboratory research, clinical research, clinical care and training for health care professionals. It is working toward National Cancer Institute designation as a “designated cancer center,” the gold standard of cancer research and treatment. For more information regarding the Cancer Center, visit www.StephensonCancerCenter.org.

CHEYENNE I hope everyone had a great Labor Day and enjoyed their Monday off. The temperatures were really hot until Monday and they cooled down into the 90's making it seem like we were having a 'cold front'! Ethan Smith, Tana Craven and I braved the heat to watch the 75th Rodeo of Champions Parade in Elk City. Amber Smith refused to go, stating it was just too hot and she was right! We sat across the street from the Beckey Smith family and enjoyed seeing Tara and Jon Smith from Dallas, Andrew Smith, James Smith, LaNell Vernon and kids. Accompanying us to the Rodeo that evening were Amber and my sister Beth and her two boys, Caleb and Trever. It was a good night for local talent and we were glad we got to cheer on Sage Kimzey and Kimberly Cockrell. The All Sports Membership Drive is this Friday, September 6th beginning at 5:30 PM. There will be softball and baseball games beginning at 4:30 and the Cancer Walkathon will be going on as well. Make plans to come out and enjoy the evening. There will be face painting, walking and bounce house in the Park. Be sure and check out the Pioneer Day Auction and Day Hunt Auction in this week's issue. There will be lots of great things auctioned off and the money raised will be used for the upkeep of the many museums in the City Park. We send our prayers and sympathy to the Kristy Kolb and Gene Whitson families. They will both be missed dearly. Happy Birthday to: Sept 6: Jenni Green, Pat VerSteeg; Sept 7: Jana Maddux, Mary Hendrickson, Shannon Maddux, Dixie Boyce; Sept 9: Kaitlyn Ogle, Patrick VerSteeg, Lou Ann Martin, Thomas McDaniel; Sept 10: Jami Bohanon, Oscar Diaz, Grace Roark, Matt Goodwin; Sept 11: McKenzi Moler, Christy Batchelor; Sept 12: Jr. Porter, Paisley Voboril, Jim Crawford; Happy Anniversary to: Sept 6: Judith & Jamey Herren; Sept 7:
CRAWFORD Sue Pearson I hope your Labor Day was as enjoyable as mine. Some of my family gathered at my home for a delicious meal and wonderful fellowship. The crowd consisted of Margie Stauber Martin, Roger and Lloydelle Martin Lester, Aubrey Martin Clark and daughter Rheannon, Sarah Lester Hammer with her children Ashlee, Callie, Tack, and Jake, David and Tressa Pearson, Adam Pearson, Christi Martin Lanier, and me. Everyone brought food so no one was overworked. We really missed Chris Clark and Brent Hammer, both of whom had to work. What a bummer! Sue Flowers' quilt is ready to start work on next Monday by the Crawford quilters. It is a beautiful friendship quilt from the 1930's. It will be easy to quilt and you will have fun with "the girls". I think we will be having potluck, if we are lucky. Gerald and Carolyn Montgomery had a whole houseful over the holiday weekend, and that is saying a lot. I don't know who all was there, but I know several of Carolyn's family were visiting. Nancy Lucas and Charlotte Lucas attended the parade and rodeo at Elk City Saturday. Reportedly, it was a good rodeo, but it was way too hot to be outside. Dorothy Caudel Smith has been sharing her cherry tomato crop with me. What a delicious snack; a small dish of salt and a big bowl of tomatoes and I'm set to read for several hours. Thank you, Dorothy. Labor Day is the last holiday of the summer and God blessed us with a gorgeous day. Even though I had lots to do Monday morning, when I went outside I had to sit on the porch awhile and enjoy the fabulous weather. The monthly fellowship meal at Crawford Church will be Sunday,

the 8th. Please make every effort to be present. A business meeting will be held following dinner and there are some important decisions to be made. Get well wishes to Jesse Gibson who had his tonsils removed, He should be back in school by now and, hopefully, no more sore throat. This is a good year for insects and a bad year for those of us who battle them. In addition to grasshoppers and blister bugs, I am doing battle with gnats and mosquitoes. Mom has experienced a terrible influx of gnats. What is so bad about them, if you see one, there are about a gajillion of them close by. My family has made sumac jelly for a number of years. The jelly is sweet-tart and my husband, Dean, loved it. Many people thought we were trying to poison them when we served it, but it is not poisonous. In reading the book "Medicinal Wild Plants of the Plains, which I bought at the Battle of Washita gift shop, I discovered sumac was used by most Plains Indian tribes for bleeding disorders. The fruit was chewed by the Cheyenne's to stop toothache and relieve symptoms of a head cold. The Osage and Kickapoo tribes used sumac to treat tuberculosis. I'm still looking in the book for a cure or treatment for type 1 diabetes.
METCALFE MUSEUM Roger & Lloydelle Lester
Our visiting artist for our fall season is Curt Shelton of Pampa, Texas. Curt was introduced to us about a year ago by our friend Glenda Cecil Bockler who resides in California. Glenda grew up in the Durham community, knew the Metcalfe family,and visits The Metcalfe Museum when she is in western Oklahoma. Curt is the grandson of Estelle Cecil Shelton who also grew up in Durham. He is the grand-nephew of Glen Cecil, Glenda’s father. Curt’s parents were Dorothy and Charles Shelton who have since passed away. Curt never fails to give them credit for allowing him to develop his artistic ability. “My parents sometimes struggled from pay day to pay day, yet they found money to give me private art lessons from various teachers in Pampa” Curt says. He credits Alva Satterwhite, one of his grade school art teachers for helping him discover his talent. The title we have chosen for Curt’s display is “Seasons of Survival,” named after one of his paintings. Curt’s acrylics are bold and very expressive of his talent. He has chosen some grand titles for his art work. We count it an honor to be showing his work here in our gallery. The exhibit will be going up this afternoon (Tues. 9-3-13) and will run through November 30, 2013. Please be our guest as we display the art of this outstanding personality we have found in Curt
Shelton. Break O’Day Farm, Metcalfe Museum and Art Gallery are open March 1-November 30, Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 am until 5:00 am. Visit our web, www. metcalfemuseum.org or e-mail Metcalfe@dobsonteleco.com or call 580-655-4467.

Bible Study? Luke records in the book of Acts an insightful story of enquiry. An Ethiopian eunuch of great authority that took charge under the reign of Candace the queen of Ethiopia had traversed a huge amount of terrainin order to go to Jerusalem for purpose of worship. The distance between Jerusalem and Ethiopia would have been at that time approximately 1600 miles. Given that the eunuch was in a chariot, he could have journeyed nearly 50-60 miles a day which would have taken him a month to navigate and that does not include stops to refresh his horse or problems he may have encountered along the way. This man went to great lengths for a worship service and he spent his time studying while on that journey as indicated by Acts 8:30. This devout man of power and authority possessed a profound desire for truth. The heart of one that seeks the truth is evident through his desire to study (Ps. 1:1-3; John 14:15). When the Holy Spirit led Philip the evangelist to the eunuch, Philip asked if the eunuch if he understood what he was reading (Acts 8:30), in other words he asked if he would like to study the scriptures with this eunuch. Philip reached out this individual through study which is clearly an essential part of the Christian life (2 Tim. 2:15; Heb. 2:1; 2 Peter 1:9-10; 2 Peter 3:14). Christ instructed the Christians to go out and teach (Mat. 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-16; 2 Tim. 4:2). The eunuch could have made up some excuse to not have a Bible study (I have heard plenty) or he could have simply said, “I am not going to have a Bible study with you!” (words that I have heard too often) Fortunately for this traveler, his heart was seeking the truth, and in his mind, he could never learn too much (Acts 8:31-35; Mat. 6:33; Heb. 11:6). How can anyone who seeks to study their Bible and claims to be a Christian deny someone the chance to study the Bible with them and share their knowledge of study? What would have happen to the eunuch if he had rejected Philip? He would have missed his chance to learn about something that changed his life for the better (Acts 8:36-39). Studying the Bible is how a Christian grows in the knowledge of Christ (2 Peter 2:2; 3:18; Eph. 4:15); it is how Christians show themselves approved of God (2 Tim. 2:15; 1 Thess. 2:4); it is how a Christian can instruct others (Gal. 6:6; Heb. 5:12-14); it is how a Christian is made perfect (2 Tim. 3:16-17; Ps. 119:98-100). We should always capitalize on every opportunity we have to study the word of God.
More study and a friendly welcome will always await you at the

“The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, until the day in which He was taken up” Acts 1:1-3 There has been a premium put on Biblical knowledge by the religious masses of our day, and rightly so. It is the Bible that gives us the oracles of God. It’s an amazing Book! The Truth contained there is timeless and is as relevant for our generation as it was for generations hundreds of years ago. The problem is not that there’s not enough great teaching. The problem is, as I see it, that we have elevated knowledge and the gaining of information over actually ‘encountering’ the Father and literally having a relationship with Him. It’s what Jesus came to do; to enable us to relate to God, the Creator of the Universe, exactly like He did! The Bible, itself, gives a disclaimer when talking about knowledge; it’s a warning, so to speak, that knowledge ‘puffs’ one up. Knowledge, even Biblical knowledge, has the potential to cause one to swell up with pride. It’s almost to the point in modern religious circles that the one with the most knowledge wins. Whoever can expound the Scriptures the best will be the most successful preacher, pastor or whatever. In fact, one could be great at breaking open the Word, have a huge church and be known far and wide but never really know the Father. That would be tragic; in fact it is tragic! It happens all the time in churches of every flavor. We know a lot….but do we really know Him?

Trust the Lord with all your heart, and don’t depend on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5
608 E. Broadway Cheyenne, OK
The problem with this world is that it doesn’t fit. Oh, it will do for now, but it isn’t tailor-made. We were made to live with God, but on earth we live by faith. We were made to live forever, but on this earth we live but for a moment. We must trust God. We must trust not only that he does what is best but that he knows what is ahead. Ponder the words of Isaiah 57:1-2: “The good men perish; the godly die before their time and no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to realize that God is taking them away from the evil days ahead. For the godly who die shall rest in peace.” My, what a thought. God is taking them away from the evil days ahead. Could death be God’s grace? Could the funeral wreath be God’s safety ring? As horrible as the grave may be, could it be God’s protection from the future? Trust in God, Jesus urges, and trust in me.

Cheyenne 100 years Ago By Dale Tracy. Work on the Cheyenne Short Line Railroad continues and it will be but a short time before the road will be completed. Steel gang has been working ever since they started about two weeks ago. The road is expected to be completed by September 15. About a month ago the report was sent out over the country that Boots Fields has been arrested and taken to Hemphill Co. Texas to answer a charge of larceny of cattle. This report is erroneous and the facts are these: On or about August 1, a herd of cattle belonging to Jess Yoakley, who lives in Canadian were missing and was thought by the officers of Hemphill Co. that these cattle were being moved into Oklahoma. So the officers at this place were notified and the cattle were located in Fields’ pasture, about three miles north of Cheyenne. Sheriff Tipps of Canadian, who came to this place the same night and was accompanied back to Canadian by Boots, who was placed under arrest the following day in that city. On the warrant charging him as an accomplice. The other person being made principle to the case. Mr. Fields and the other person were later indicted by the Grand Jury and the principle in the case went on trial. Evidence in the case as was introduced by the State was not sufficient as to convict the principle in the case and consequently, the case against Fields was dismissed. In order to make this a little clearer, we will say that the principle in the case was an employ of Yoakly and had full power to do as he pleased with the cattle. No evidence was introduced to show that there was any intention of stealing the cattle. Mrs. A.F. Pierce passes away after a long illness. She was a member of
the Baptist Church here. She leaves a husband, two daughters, one named Mrs. R.M. Harper of Butler, OK and two sons. She was 50 years old and laid to rest in the Cheyenne Cemetery. The first bale of cotton of the season was marketed in Cheyenne last Mon. by C.J. Cherry, who lives near Carpenter. Cotton was purchased by C. White of the Williams Miller Gin at 4 cents. He received a $14 premium and the bale netted him $66.40. Margie Falconer advertises that she will teach music to a limited number of students. Comm-issioner Stone Taylor was here looking after the interests of the taxpayer of this district at a meeting of the Board of Co. Commissioners which was in session Monday. Prof. W.L. Breckner, Supt. of the Cheyenne Public School returned last Mon. from Missouri, where he spent his vacation. Area residents in town last week: A.L. Hale of Hammon; C.A.

Cheyenne 50 Years Ago By Melanie Cole -- The first bale of cotton from the 1963 crop was brought to Cheyenne Tuesday, September 4. For the seventh time in the past 8 years Carl Noblitt of Strong City brought in the first bale. Another new business will open in Cheyenne next Saturday. This will be the Wells Insurance Agency, owned and operated by Mrs. "Nig" Wells. It will be located in the Burns Building, first door west of the office of Harry C. Chapman, attorney. Roger Mills County farmers, including Dale Mackey, Berlin; Claude Smith, Storng City; Hack Webb, Hammon; James Orgain, Strong City; Earl Tucker, Grimes and Glenn Kendall, Cheyenne witnessed the advance demonstration of the new International Tractors in Oklahoma City. Four Roger Mills County farms sold well at public auction last week. The farms were owned by
Mr. and Mrs. J.R. Allen. 272 acres, 4 miles north of Roll in the Canadian River Valley sold to Jack Allen for $39,500; 160 acres, 1 mile south of Crawford purchased by Ray Edgington and Jack B. White for $13,900; 314 acre farm adjoining the town of Crawford was sold to Jack Allen for $35,000; and 1120 acres located 9 miles north of Reydon purchased by Clyde Earle for $57,000. W.D. Warkentin, new county agent for Roger Mills County, has moved to Cheyenne. Patrons of the Security State Bank have noticed the absence of Mrs. Uburn Prestridge, who has resigned due to ill health. "Miss Ethel" will be missed greatly as she had become a symbol of the bank during her more than thirty years of employment. Mr. Frank Dodson was kicked by a horse Sunday evening. His leg was not broken but painfully bruised. The Cheyenne Star September 5, 1963

My name is Krissy and I was diagnosed with heart disease when I was 18 months old. I received my first heart transplant when I was five – and my second transplant when I was eight. After that I did pretty well until I was 17 – but the next few years I was in and out of the hospital with signs of congestive heart failure. By June 2009, I was put back on the waiting list for another transplant. In October 2009, I received my ‘forever’ heart - and I plan on it lasting that long. Since then, I married my husband, Brian, have built a career – and we are planning a family. All these things were made possible by a young woman named Mariee, and her compassionate family. She is and will always be my hero.

The Two Faces of August Gary McManus, Associate State Climatologist, Oklahoma Climatological Survey -- The unusually mild and wet conditions of July continued into August for a couple of weeks, but summer returned with a vengeance to finish out the month. The rains disappeared after week two, and then a summer-like heat wave arrived during the final week. Despite that late heat, the month still managed to finish a tad on the cool side overall. According to preliminary data from the Oklahoma Mesonet, the statewide average temperature was 80.1 degrees. 0.3 degrees below normal and the 49th coolest August since records began in 1895. The abundant rainfall during the first two weeks of the month, mainly across the northern two-thirds of Oklahoma, pushed the statewide average into the surplus territory at 3.04 inches, about a quarter-inch above normal. That ranks the month as the 51st wettest August on record. The southern third of the state missed out on the bountiful moisture and finished from 20-80 percent of normal for the month. Hugo and Newport finished with less than a quarter-inch of rainfall for the month, and many other locations across southern Oklahoma saw less than an inch. The northern twothirds of the state recorded more generous totals with numerous amounts between 5-7 inches. The climatological summer (June-August) had two distinct rainy periods that vaulted it up the wet side of the rankings – the first half of June and then mid-July through mid-August. The statewide average for the summer finished at 12.50 inches, 2.73 inches above normal to rank as the 24th wettest on record. Oklahoma City's official measurement site at Will Rogers recorded 18.15 inches of rain from June through August to finish with its sixth wettest summer season on record. Oklahoma City records date back to 1891. Its January-August total of 45.19 inches ranks as the wettest in the city's history. In contrast, the Mesonet site at Altus recorded a paltry 4.7 inches of rain during the summer and an equally depressing 11.5 inches for the first nine months of
the year. Only the Mesonet stations in the western Panhandle recorded less from January through August. The return to a more summer-like rainfall pattern the last two weeks of the month put the brakes on any continued drought relief, and actually reversed it across parts of the state. The U.S. Drought Monitor report released on August 28 indicated that 38 percent of the state was suffering from at least moderate drought, up from 33 percent the previous week. Most of that increase came from southern Oklahoma. It is still a vastly different story than one year ago in late August when 100 percent of the state was entrenched in drought, including 90 percent in the extreme to exceptional categories, the two worst possible on the Monitor's intensity scale. Still, the summer rains allowed for great strides. As much as 59 percent of the state was experiencing drought at the end of May. The Drought Monitor's worst two categories, severe and exceptional, dropped from 27 percent at the end of May to 10 percent at the end of August. The September outlooks from the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center (CPC) give equal chances for above-, below- or near-normal temperatures and rainfall for all of Oklahoma. The U.S. Monthly Drought Outlook for September shows drought persisting across all areas of Oklahoma where it currently exists, although no new areas of drought development are expected by CPC. The latest odds continue to favor neutral conditions in the equatorial pacific waters for the second straight cool season, so the development of either El Niño or La Niña appears unlikely at this time. La Niña favors warmer and drier weather during the cool season across the southern third of the United States, including Oklahoma, while El Niño favors wetter and cooler conditions. Neutral conditions tilt the odds more towards normal with perhaps more variability. The La Niña episodes of 2010-11 and 2011-12 helped fuel the dry and warm weather that was so persistent through that period.
Special session in September By State Rep. Mike Sanders A special session called by Governor Mary Fallin will begin September 3 and likely last two weeks. The session is in response to an Oklahoma Supreme Court ruling, 7-2, that a 2009 lawsuit reform bill broke the single-subject rule in the Oklahoma Constitution. The court’s ruling was severely criticized by Andrew Spiropoulous, a constitutional scholar. Spiropoulous called the court an “unaccountable political body” imposing its political will “without sufficient legal justification.” Specifically, he noted the inconsistency of the court’s single-subject rulings and that they were ignoring the language of the state constitution that does allow multiple subtopics within a general subject area. The 2009 lawsuit reform legislation was complex and had many components, but all fell within the subject area of lawsuit reform. In order to re-enact this legislation, we are breaking it up and putting each component into a single bill, so that the court cannot claim it is breaking the single-subject rule. This would be a tedious process and a difficult one to undergo during regular session, when there are a myriad of other topics we have to address. As special sessions have become less common, the governor’s announcement has become a point on which her detractors have focused on in order to score polit-
ical points. Yes, holding a special session costs money. However, it is a drop in the bucket compared to the money we are all spending on health care because of how the current system forces providers to pay to protect themselves from the threat of frivolous lawsuits. A 2008 study by the Perryman Group reported that Texas created 223,700 jobs and decreased medical liability insurance premiums by 21.3 percent after implementing lawsuit reforms, specifically a cap on non-economic or “pain and suffering” damages. Thirty states have hard caps in place. State lawmakers are hesitant to delay Oklahoma’s opportunity to benefit from the reform. Frivolous lawsuits drive up the cost of doing business in Oklahoma. They are irresponsible and cost jobs, which leads our children and grandchildren to have to seek jobs outside the state. Nellie and I are the parents of two young boys and we want nothing more than to have our boys go to school here, get good jobs and raise their families in Oklahoma. Lawsuit reform, because of its importance and because of the tedious process that the court is forcing lawmakers to undertake in order to enact it, warrants a special session. As always, I would love to hear from you. I regularly check the calls I receive at the Capitol office at (405) 557-7407.
Third District Students Should Remember to Apply for Service Academies Earlier this year, I announced that the application process for our nation’s service academies had started. As it gets closer to the deadline, I want to remind students interested in serving our nation through the academies to apply. For years, the United States Service Academies have offered students a priceless military experience, the opportunity to serve our country, and a first-class education. Each academy offers a free college education at a highly-ranked, nationally-recognized institution, while preparing them for an officer’s commission in one of the four branches of the Armed Forces. The branches that require Congressional nomination are the Air Force Academy, the Merchant Marine Academy, the Military Academy at West Point and the Naval Academy. The fifth service academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, doesn’t require a Congressional nomination. In order for students to obtain a nomination, they must be a U.S. citizen at the time they enter the academy. They must also be between the ages of 17 and 23,
unmarried with no legal obligation to support a child or dependent, and a legal resident of the Third Congressional District of Oklahoma. The deadline for accepting applications is October 15, 2013, and personal interviews will be held in November. I look forward to announcing the nominees at the end of this year. If you have questions about the application process or are interested in applying, please contact Allison Litterell in my district office at (405) 373-1958, or visit my web site at http://lucas.house. gov/serving-you/military-academy-nominations. In addition to providing nominations to service academies, as your representative, I also provide many other services to my constituents. I can assist you in dealings with federal agencies, help you plan tours during visits to Washington D.C., assist you with federal grants, and provide many other valuable resources. For more information on the constituent services my office provides, please visit my website at http://lucas. house.gov/serving-you.

Gearing Up for Special Session By State Rep. Todd Russ The state Legislature is gearing up to return to the Capitol for special session to reconsider the comprehensive tort reform law that was passed in 2009 but struck down by the state Supreme Court in June. The Court ruled the law was unconstitutional because it violated the state Constitution’s “single-subject rule,” which prohibits legislative bills from dealing with more than one subject. It is important to note that the Court found no issue with the substance of the law, only that a technicality in how the bill was assembled had been violated. Earlier this month, Gov. Mary Fallin issued an executive order to convene the Legislature in special session beginning September 3 to reconsider components of House Bill 1603. To be honest, I would prefer that we save the taxpayers’ money and deal with this issue next February during regular session, but I also understand why the governor and the business and medical communities want this issue resolved as soon as possible. The fact is, frivolous lawsuits are bad for our economy and bad for your pocketbook. Some attorneys are very careful about filing responsible law suits but, unfortunately, there are also many that rack up numerous law suits on unfounded claims knowing they will likely get something as settlement just from the sheer intimidation to the defendant being sued. When a business is forced to pay damages or settle a frivolous claim, they don’t just take a loss; they pass those costs on to consumers in the form of higher prices for products and services. Likewise, physicians don’t just absorb the absurdly high insurance premiums they pay to protect themselves from medical malpractice claims; they pass those costs on to patients in the form of higher costs for their services. And tort reform is not a partisan

issue. Both Democrats and Republicans realize the need to bring the abuse of our civil judicial system under control. In fact, when House Bill 1603 originally passed in 2009, the House of Representatives passed the measure by a vote of 86-13 while the Senate passed the measure by a vote of 42-5. Former Gov. Brad Henry, a Democrat, signed the bill into law. Some studies have found that states that have a combination of high tax rates and weak civil justice and workers compensation laws are essentially closing their doors to economic growth. They are, in essence, telling businesses that “we will charge you more for being here.” So the answer to the question of whether or not we should be going back in to session is “maybe – maybe not,” depending on whether you are the one being sued or the one suing. Oklahoma has made great strides in addressing these issues during the last eight years, and I am willing to go back to work on behalf of our citizens to ensure that we position our great state as a place where current businesses want to stay and expand and where businesses from other states want to relocate to when their state’s make them feel unwelcome. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to represent you at the Capitol. As always, I will keep you updated on the status of our great state. God bless you and God bless Oklahoma! As always, feel free to contact me at (405) 557-7312 or at todd. russ@okhouse.gov.

Strong City in the 50's By Patricia A. Goddard (Patsy Archer) -- I lived in Strong City, Oklahoma from July 2, 1940 (my birth) until May, 1956 when my family moved to Amarillo, Texas, the year I was to be a Junior in high school at Cheyenne. As a typical 15 year old, I thought my life was over as I was a cheerleader for the Bearettes, along with Barbara Gaynor. My sister, Billie was drill captain and nothing was more exciting than to don my black pleated skirt, orange sweater and saddle oxfords, to march at halftime during the boy’s basketball games. After 50+ years I still remember some of those drills… I didn’t die, of course, but I have fond memories of growing up there, and would love to share them with you. Life was very different then. We didn’t have cell phones, I pods, Electronic note books and all sorts of things kids carry around now...we were pretty simple then, life was uncomplicated and good friends were “good friends” I still remember (after 60 years) and know some of you readers might enjoy this account of life in the 50’s in Strong City. Strong City, a small (very small) town in northwestern Oklahoma was founded sometime around the middle 1800’s. It was old by the time I hit the world and most of the town, already in ruins, sat on the side of a hill sloping up from the banks of the Washita River. At the foot of the hill were the river and a train track. Next came our home/ post office/service station combination, Dad's garage, a Nazarene Church, Conally Rodens’ phone office, a general store (ran by the Hunt family), a Baptist Church, a few old houses occupied by older people, a black water tower and across the top of the hill, a school and a Cemetery where my Great Grandparents, Thomas Jefferson and Martha Jane Archer, are buried. All the soil in town was red and there was a large red hill at the top of town where we loved to play. Once, and only once, a neighbor friend, Duane Hunt, actually rode his bike down that hill at top speed with an unfavorable outcome. The town fanned out approximately 5 blocks on each side of State highway 33 with old inhabited and uninhabited houses. There were trees and even a small park, which had become overgrown years earlier but still held the recognizable beauty of what had once been. For lack of other entertainment, and when school or the crops didn't need me, I explored every empty building and visited older neighbors at will, unannounced but always welcomed. We were like a big family except for my mother and her best friend, Norma Hunt. Neither joined the FHA Quilting club or any other activities attended by the farm ladies. All the years we lived there, Mother dreamed of moving. I never had a haircut from anyone except Norma until we moved to Amarillo. Billie and I would walk to the store with mother’s big sizzors in hand and Norma would sit us on a stool and give us the beauty treatment only stopping to take money from customers who would comment on whether it was short enough or recommend bangs, etc”. Most of the people living in Strong City were elderly and had lived there as children. I can only remember eight other children ever living in the entire town besides my brother, sister and me. Highway 33 ran through the middle of town and we lived on the highway, considered “main street”, which was a dirt road until around 1946. We got "stuck" many a rainy night returning from the movies in Cheyenne, about 8 miles away. One of our good neighbors would always come along and pull us out or we'd do the pulling. There was a classic train station at the foot of the hill…the first building seen when traveling north from Hammond. When I was small, I remember playing on the baggage cart that had big iron wheels. The stationmaster, Mr. Orville Nix, and
his wife lived about halfway up the hill and he would ride his big white horse to the station, stopping at the post office to pick up his mail. Sometimes he would put Billie, Ronnie, or I on the horse. He also had a small black and white dog named Skippy who ran with the horse and two small Pomeranians who lived in the house, barking and occasionally biting anyone who visited. Needless to say, the Nixes were not on the Strong City Social Register! The station was torn down when I was around twelve and the train never stopped again except for leaving and collecting mail. In 1953, mail began to be delivered from Sayre by truck, so the train wouldn’t stop at all. Approximately 100 other folks and I were living in a dying town that became a ghost town by the time I left. Strong City didn't have good drinking water. My folks always called it "hard water" but I think it was a gypsum well and the water tasted bitterly strange. We only used it for bathing and such but our drinking water came from the water car. A train would periodically bring a water car to a siding and leave it for the town to use. We had two large milk cans with lids and one of the children's jobs was to get water. Daddy had a garden tractor with a small trailer and we would go to the train car, turn the big valve and fill our cans with cool pure water. I don't know where it came from but I do remember the sweet taste. Before we had the garden tractor, I can remember mother going with us and putting the cans in the trunk of the car. One year the city well ran dry and a gypsy and his wife were hired to find and drill a new well. They camped about 1/2 block from our home while they drilled and were strange people…even to Strong City folks! When the new well was working (still hard water), it fell on our family to monitor the water tower and turn on the pump when it became low so I guess that made Dad the "Water Commissioner" and we children, "Commissionerettes", or something as we did all the work. Conally Roden had a small house across the street and one block north of the post office. He had the only telephone line to our town and ran the phone office from one of his two rooms (with outhouse behind). No home in Strong City had indoor plumbing in the 40’s. When anyone in Strong
City received a phone call, Conally would ring his or her phone and, most of the time, listen in on the conversation. He knew all the local gossip. I guess no one had phone numbers because you would ring Connally and say, "Give me John Brown, or Tom Smith, or whoever, and he'd just ring their phone and you'd be connected. Our phone was on the wall just inside the post office and I had to stand on a chair to talk, which wasn’t often. No one talked to children in those days and everyone talked loudly into the receiver. I marvel at the fact that most of my grandchildren walk around with cell phones plastered to their ears. Connally’s wife, Mary Jane, died when I was around nine years. We never knew what she died of… in those days you didn't die of cancer or heart attack, etc. If you were over sixty, you died of "Old Age". I guess if you lived to be sixty, the doctors never tried to heal you… they just let you lay in bed and have your friends and relations go into the room, one at a time of course, while you said your last words and goodbyes. Then the doctor would come out of the room with a sad expression and say "She's gone"… at least that's the way it always happened in movies and in Strong City. When Mary Jane died, Connally took a set of dishes he had bought for her and put them all around her grave. I remember seeing the grave with an entire set of red depression glass dishes covering it. I wonder if they're still there. When Conally died, nobody in Strong City wanted the telephone office in his home so it was moved to the general store and calls could no longer be put through to individual homes. If anyone in town got a call, he had to go to the store. In 1955 my sister, Billie, was in love with a boy who would call occasionally. When she took the call at the store, all the old men sitting around would listen so it was my job to go with her and strike up conversations to divert their attention. I gained the reputation of being a very talkative little girl in Strong City, as I would loudly talk to anyone who would listen for as long as Billie was on the phone. As with most of the things I learned there, I still have that ability today…I thought until now that I had inherited that trait from my Dad! Funny how writing this all down makes things a lot clearer…it's almost like therapy! Yes, Yes, I know I talk a lot but it's my sister's fault…

It was determined that the District would implement policies with controlled oversight to reduce risks from internal and external sources to District. Finding: Disaster Recovery Plan.

Legal Notice of Decision Big Foot 1H-7 Gas and Oil Well On August 29, 2013, District Ranger, Tom Smeltzer signed a Decision Memo for the Big Foot 1H-7 Gas and Oil Well. The decision approves construction of a well pad, access road and pipeline on the Black Kettle National Grassland Unit 43 in sections 7, T14N, R25W, IM, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma. A water well may be drilled on-site for use during the drilling phase of this project. The Decision Memo and associated project record are available at the Black Kettle National Grassland office, 18555 Hwy 47A, Cheyenne, OK 73628. On July 25, 2013, a 30 day legal notice providing opportunity for comment and appeal was posted in the Cheyenne Star, the newspaper of record, and ran for two consecutive weeks. The district rangeland specialist met with affected grazing permit holders and the proposal was included in the Cibola National Forest Schedule of Proposed Actions (SOPA). No comments or inquiries were received by interested public. A Forest Service interdisciplinary team of specialists reviewed the proposed action and did not identify any significant issues during project review and environmental analysis.

By Triston Musick -- The Leedey Junior Chamber of Commerce recently elected officers. The officers this year are: Matalyn Haney, President; Austin Cerlock, Vice-President; and Kennedy Winn,Secretary. Marcia Thomason, JCC adviser, said the organization has51 members in ninth through twelfth grade. JCC is to help teach kids what government is like.The purpose of JCC is to learn community service and give scholarships to graduating students. Leedey’s chapter started seven years ago. Some of the activities JCC sponsors are blood drives, a Halloween dance; and decorate the park and Main Street for Christmas. They also help Donate eggs for the Easter egg hunts and help count and distribute them. Thomason was a member of the chamber of commerce and thought it would be a good idea to bring younger kids in the picture.
By Justin Clinesmith -- Kimbre Danielson joins the Leedey faculty this year as the school librarian. Danielson says she loves to read and being the librarian is a fun and interesting job. As a first-year teacher, she says, “I want to help each student develop a love for reading and help them find something that they enjoy reading.” Danielson was an audiologist in Elk City and has also worked for an ear, nose and throat doctor before opening her own practice in 2008. Teaching at Leedey has given her the opportunity to spend more time with her family. Her husband is Leedey Principal Darren Danielson, and her daughters are Dailee, Karlee, Kenzee and Daycee.
