Helping out were Josie Hohn, Natalie Bonney and Chris Berry.

Rotarians help food drive Over $10,000 in checks and inkind gifts were recently presented to Project 66 Food and Resource Center.

The Rotary Club of Edmond presented Project 66’s Executive Director, Josie Hohn, checks totaling $9,000. The Club also held a food drive and collected over $1,500 worth of food. When Club members Chris Berry, Natalie Bonney and Beth Case delivered the food donations, Project 66 volunteers weighed in the items at 1558 pounds.

The gifts to Project 66 were made possible through a grant from Rotary District 5750 and Club donations.

Regarding the donations, Hohn said, “Donations like these help us continue to feed our neighbors during this trying time. Throughout the Covid pandemic, we have seen people turn to us that have never had a need for us. With the financial sup-

port and food donations from local organizations like the Rotary Club of Edmond, we can keep our shelves stocked with quality products so families can keep food on their tables.

This targeted food drive brought in staple products for our clients that we often do not have access to. We are grateful for the support of the Rotary Club of Edmond in our fight against hunger.”

The Rotary Club of Edmond has been working diligently to help support those in need in Edmond. Last month, the club donated over $5,000 to Edmond Mobile Meals. If you would like to join in supporting these projects, visit http://www.project66.org/or https://edmondmobilemeals.org/donate/ The Rotary Club of Edmond currently meets at noon every Wednesday on Zoom. Guests are welcome. www.edmondrotary.org

Reminder on Genealogical meeting Whether you’re just starting your research or you’re a seasoned pro, Oklahoma genealogical research can be difficult for those unfamiliar with Oklahoma history and available resources. Edmond Genealogical Society’s Sept. 21 speaker, Nancy Calhoun, will give some of her favorite tips for making Oklahoma genealogy searches successful.

Calhoun has been chasing relatives for over 40 years starting after she enrolled in a semester-long genealogy class while in graduate school in Kansas. With a teaching background and 20 years in newspaper work and publishing, she often used her research skills in the classroom and in writing. Nancy was the Department Head of Genealogy and Local History at Muskogee Public Library in Muskogee, Oklahoma, until January when she went to work for Oklahoma Historical Society. She was the recipient of the librarian scholarship to attend IGHR and the Richard S. Lackey Memorial Scholarship for the 2017 session of Genealogical Institute on Federal Records. Her writings have placed in the annual contests held by the International Association of Fam-

ily History Writers and Editors. Memberships include APG, NGS, DAR, United Daughters of the War of 1812, United Daughters of the Confederacy, Oklahoma’s First Families of the Twin Territories, First Families of Wythe County, Virginia, Mayflower Society, and several county and state genealogical organizations. Nancy has given talks across Oklahoma, in Texas and Arkansas.

Meetings are free and open to the public. Programs start at 6:30 p.m. Edmond Genealogical Society meetings are held the third Monday of the month at the Edmond Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints at 1315 E. 33rd Street, Edmond, OK. Enter through the doors at the rear (north side) of the building. The church offers plenty of parking and is fully handicap accessible, with social distance seating at the meeting. Masks are required for all attendees. For more information on EGS, go to: www.rootsweb.com/~okegs, or visit us on Facebook at Edmond Genealogical Society. The Oct. 19 program will be “My Big Fat Family Secret – Part 2” presented by our own EGS Board Member Andrea Moon.

From the Publisher

Knowing the signs of a stroke During as close as we get at Edmond Life & Leisure to an editorial meeting, editor Steve Gust reminded me that we were not living up to the request made to us by one of Edmond’s finest citizens.

Many of you may not remember our friend and Edmond business superstar Courtney Wood Ray Hibbard but he used to frequent our office over the years before he fell asleep in the Lord last year.

Wood had a gregarious personality and was a leader in the Edmond business community. He was an independent insurance agent and at times had his own agency. Even though he was an older gentleman, he had an abundance of energy. Throughout the time that Courtney’s career was flourishing, he was also giving back to his community as an educator and a volunteer. He taught classes for over 20 years at Central State University, the University of Oklahoma, and a variety of insurance schools. He had a special place in his heart for the YMCA and was Chairman of the Board of Directors, spear-headed many capital campaigns and was elected an Honorary Board Member for Life.

Shortly before turning 65, Courtney suffered a massive stroke which left him with debilitating consequences that he lived with for his last 19 years. He learned to compensate for his speech deficiencies by using a flipbook. He might not be able to say the word he wanted, but he could flip to it and show you.

He suffered mightily but rallied and began a crusade for stroke awareness, leaving brochures and information at businesses and organizations throughout Edmond. It was during this time that he volunteered with the Oklahoma Heart Hospital and Edmond’s Hope Center.

Many folks suffering such a stroke would sit at home and question why it happened to them.

Wood went about the business of finding out exactly how the damage from his stroke could have been lessened if not completely avoided. He then put his abundance of energy into educating others which is what brought him to our door on many occasions.

While Wood had some trouble communicating what was on his mind, he managed to bring printed material to help with his presentation. He used to say, “Words, not good with words. I think them but can’t say them.” His passion for his cause was more then enough to overcome any damage left by the stroke.

He was insistent that I put the information in the newspaper to communicate to our readers the importance of knowing the signs of a stroke and getting quick intervention to prevent serious damage.

Gust reminded me that since his passing, we had not lived up to our promise to our buddy Courtney to keep our readers informed and perhaps prevent a death so here is what we found to be the latest information on how to detect a stroke and the need for quick treatment.

During a stroke, every minute counts, Fast treatment can lessen the brain damage that a stroke

During a stroke, every minute counts, Fast treatment can lessen the brain damage that a stroke can cause. By knowing the signs and symptoms of stroke, you can take quick action and perhaps save a life. can cause. By knowing the signs and symptoms of stroke, you can take quick action and perhaps save a life — maybe even your own.

Signs of Stroke in Men and Women Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body.

Sudden confusion, trouble speaking, or difficulty understanding speech.

Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes.

Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance, or lack of coordination.

Sudden severe headache with no known cause.

Call 9-1-1 right away if you or someone else has any of these symptoms.

Acting F.A.S.T. Is Key for Stroke Acting F.A.S.T. can help stroke patients get the treatments they desperately need. The stroke treatments that work best are available only if the stroke is recognized and diagnosed within three hours of the first symptoms. Stroke patients may not be eligible for these if they do not arrive at the hospital in time.

If you think someone may be having a stroke, act F.A.S.T. and do the following simple test: F — Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A — Arms: Ask the person to raise both arms.

Does one arm drift downward?

S — Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?

T — Time: If you see any of these signs, call 9-11 right away.

Note the time when any symptoms first appear.

This information helps health care providers determine the best treatment for each person. Do not drive to the hospital or let someone else drive you.

Call an ambulance so that medical personnel can begin life-saving treatment on the way to the emergency room.

Treating a Transient Ischemic Attack If your symptoms go away after a few minutes, you may have had a transient ischemic attack (TIA). Although brief, a TIA is a sign of a serious condition that will not go away without medical help.

Unfortunately, because TIAs clear up, many people ignore them. But paying attention to a TIA can save your life. Tell your health care team about

Plastic recycling is non-existent About a year ago while in Europe, I met a former executive from the recycling industry. He truly popped my bubble of comfort with using recycling programs in the United State. As we have previously reported and large news outlets have confirmed, the amount of recycling that actually happens is a fraction of what we are led to believe as we religiously roll our recycle bins out to the curb every other week here in Edmond.

NPR and Frontline have teamed up to release a new report on the state of plastic recycling in America. In a nutshell, it does not exist. The problem is that not all used plastic can be turned into new stuff. Picking it up, sorting it out and melting it down is expensive. Plastic degrades every time it is reused which means it cannot be used more than once or twice.

Making new plastic is cheap and it is almost always less expensive and of better quality to just start fresh. This coupled with China stopping buying most kinds of plastic has led to a mostly nonexistent plastic recycling business. How did recycling of plastic call to action get started?

The investigation concluded that around 1989 plastic manufacturers understood that their business was under attack and was in danger of being regulated out of business. It was the plastic industry that started the recycling messaging but according to the investigation, it was a distraction to get attention away from a reduction of plastic products.

It created a solution that the industry knew was not feasible to avoid further government regulation. Even the recycling symbol on the plastic carton came as a surprise to recycling operators who did not know where they came from with the numbers in the middle. It turns out those were a creation of the plastic industry as well and not any kind of government authority. Their claim was that it would make it easier for plastic recyclers to sort the containers even though no further education was provided to them.

The industry itself built recycling centers at a cost of millions of dollars as a diversionary tactic even though, according to the article they knew they were not sustainable. They were built starting in 1989 and most were out of business by the mid 1990’s.

It seems to follow the same process that the soda industry started with recycling messaging to take the attention away from the plastic being dumped into landfills. According to the article, it was a total false narrative.

The bottom line is that we all work hard at sorting our recyclable material, but it is mostly to no avail. Paper seems to be the only productive recycling that goes on in this country and with the Chinese stopping its purchase as well, that program is in danger.

Nothing ever smelled right to me about the push for cities to recycle and as it turns out, chances are city governments were duped into providing diversion and cover for the plastic industry.

Obituary notices Bettye Elenor (Hughes) Jones Bettye Elenor (Hughes) Jones, 88 years old, lost her battle from complications with COVID-19 on September 6, 2020 in Oklahoma City, OK. Bettye was born January 2, 1932 to Dorothy and Marvin Hughes in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She grew up in Sand Springs and attended Charles Page High School. She married Don Jones in 1947 and they had four children.

In the 1950s Bettye began working in fashion via clothing, shoe stores, and jewelry sales. She spent several years as a branch manager for Sarah Coventry, managing and training her own team.

As a young bride and mother, she felt the call of God on her life while wondering how God could possibly use her in her situation. She began putting one foot in front of the other trusting God to lead. She began following God in her local church, Glenwood Baptist Church, teaching and serving children as a Sunbeam leader. Bettye continued teaching and training Sunbeam leaders on the state level through the Southern Baptist Convention. Her work with the SBC continued, serving as a house mom, and eventually founding director of Los Ninos, a daycare for Latino families in Bixby. Eventually moving to Oklahoma City, she was the Assistant Director of the Baptist Mission Center serving the Hispanic community through various programs including the medical clinic. She became involved in the coalition to combat hunger and Catholic Charities aiding Vietnamese refugees.

In the 1980s Bettye moved to Garland, TX. Bettye immediately plugged in to Church on the Rock in Rockwall, TX. She began the Hospitality Ministry at Church on the Rock serving and training a team to continue and expand the ministry. The church was growing so fast and the children’s program was exploding without focused leadership. Bettye created written curriculum and began training their new leaders.

Always teaching and training, she became the Touch Pastor over the Ladies Ministry at Church on the Rock.

She worked at The Contract Lens Center helping patients and training new lens wearers. Bettye later worked as the manager of PetMobile where she grew, trained, and expanded the business.

After suffering many health issues in Texas, she moved back to Oklahoma City in 2000 to be near family and underwent 8 surgeries at Deaconess Hospital. During her time as a patient, Bettye developed strong relationships with the hospital staff. She decided to minister to patients and staff as a volunteer Chaplain.

She is proceeded in death by both of her parents; her sister, Janet Marie Hughes; her brother, Charles Hughes; and her son, Larry Don Jones.

Bettye leaves behind her younger brother Jerry Allen Hughes of Denton, TX; her daughter, Donna Broughton and husband, Jerry Broughton of Edmond, OK; son, Marvin Jones of Ketchum, OK; and daughter, Dorothy McGuire of Denton, TX. She leaves behind 4 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren, and 2 great great grandchildren: Jerry Broughton, wife Michelle and children JD and Carlee; Natalie Bratton, husband Chad and daughter Alayna of Edmond, OK; Mindy Bridges, husband James and children Miranda and Champ of Choteau, OK; and Cortlyn Jones of Arlington, TX. Miranda Bridges has 2 children, Keagan and Kennedy.

Come-and-go visitation for Bettye will be held on Tuesday, September 22, 2020 from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m. at Crawford Family Funeral Service, 610 NW 178th St. Edmond, OK 73012 and on Wednesday, September 23 from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m.

Graveside services will be held on Wednesday, September 23 at 11 a.m. at Gracelawn Cemetery in Edmond, OK. Bettye never doubted God’s love for her and His call on her life. I’m sure when Bettye reached those pearly gates, she was overwhelmed to have finally made it home.

Cal Francis Guthrie Cal Francis Guthrie was born April 28th, 1935 in Moore, Oklahoma to Carl “Carlie” and Ruth “Ruthie” (Gordon) Guthrie. He passed away September 4, 2020 at his home in Chandler at the age of 85.

Cal graduated high school in Moore of 1953. He was president of his graduating class. Cal earned a BS from CSU with a double major in Math and Physics. He graduated from OSU in 1959 receiving his masters and returning to Central (UCO) to teach. He taught at UCO for 41 years and served in the faculty senate.

He proposed to the love of life, Peggy, with the words, “I think I want to marry you!” They were married 3 months later on August 2, 1959. Cal loved to hear a good joke and had a soft spot for baby animals. It wasn’t uncommon to visit him while he bottled fed a baby goat while sitting in his recliner. He always had a listening ear and could be the most supportive with just a wink. That famous wink.

Cal is preceded in death by his parents; his wife of 59 years, Peggy Guthrie. Survivors include the couple’s 3 sons, Gregg Guthrie and wife Nancy of Chandler, Carl Guthrie and wife Rebecca of Noblesville, Indiana, Cory Guthrie and wife Julie of Edmond; 5 grandchildren, Marlee, Carlyn, Morgan, Emylie, and Carter.

A celebration of life was held at 2:00 P.M. Sunday, September 13, 2020 in the Lehman Funeral Home chapel. Arrangements were under the direction of Lehman Funeral Home of Wellston.

Judith Elain Tutor (Judy) Judith Elaine Tutor (Judy) returned home to be with The Lord on September 4, 2020.

Judy was born in Marysville, Kansas on August 9, 1935 to Armour Hendricks and Lillie (Ellis) Hendricks. She also had 3 brothers and 3 sisters. Judy married Raymond Duane Tutor (known as Duane to his family and Ray with the Hendricks) on May 23, 1959 - they just celebrated 61 beautiful years of marriage. Judy loved her Kansas family, whom she visited with Ray most Memorial Days for many years, honoring and celebrating family members past and present. Judy’s sister Bonnie Humphrey and friends Glen and Ruth Wallenberg were frequently in attendance for these visits.

Judy was a faithful member of First Baptist Church Edmond, Oklahoma, serving on the greeting committee for many years. While her joys in life were most prevalent as a homemaker, she also held administrative jobs professionally. Judy, known best to her beloved family as Mema, was a living example of unconditional love and would always remind her family how much she loved them. She is survived by her husband Duane, her two sons, Larry Tutor and wife Mary of San Antonio, Texas and Bryan Tutor and wife Paulette of Fort Worth, Texas.

They have four grandchildren; Adam and Amanda Tutor of San Antonio, Texas and Alexandra and Logan Tutor of Fort Worth, Texas. Mema was always fulfilled by the love of family. Sunday dinners, enjoyed by all, brought Mema happiness and joy serving her famous pot roast, followed the next morning by her heartwarming cheese grits. The legacy lives on in the love and loyalty of her entire family.

Diana Sturdevant, Ph.D., R.N., left, and Teri Round, M.S., R.N., of the OU College of Nursing are introducing Oklahoma nursing homes to the 4Ms Framework for more holistic care of residents.

OU College of Nursing looks at holistic care for seniors Traditionally, nursing homes have followed a model of care emphasizing the medical needs of residents. Too often, this approach fails to encompass other factors that contribute to a person’s well-being, including emotional, psycho-social and spiritual needs.

The University of Oklahoma Fran and Earl Ziegler College of Nursing has launched an initiative to meet nursing home residents’ needs in a more holistic way. It starts by asking a simple question: What matters?

“If we don’t ask what matters to nursing home residents, then we don’t know. To a large extent, we have focused on their medical care and overlooked their emotional wellbeing,” said Diana Sturdevant, Ph.D., R.N., an assistant professor of research in the OU College of Nursing.

Sturdevant and her colleague Teri Round, M.S., R.N., executive director of clinical operations at the college, are introducing Oklahoma nursing homes to the 4Ms Framework. The approach is an outgrowth of the AgeFriendly Health Systems initiative, a designation achieved by OU Medicine last year.

The 4Ms Framework comes from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, and the OU College of Nursing is among the first in the nation to adapt it to nursing homes from its origin in hospitals. The 4Ms – What Matters, Medications, Mentation and Mobility – are evidence-based elements shown to improve health and well-being by placing nursing home residents at the center of their care.

Asking nursing home residents what matters most to them sets the stage for the other three M’s, Round said. What matters to nursing home residents varies – some want to work toward returning home, while others want to make friends and engage in activities. Others want to plan to attend a special event like a wedding, or be able to interact with their grandchildren. The goal is to align their care according to what matters to them.

“We want to ask them what matters when they first come into the nursing home because that first interaction with the staff sets the stage for their entire stay,” Sturdevant said.

“But we also want to integrate that question into their care plan so that we stay in tune with what they want.

If we don’t meet their emotional needs, they may get upset or feel lonely, then we may view them as having behavior issues, and the next

thing you know, they’re heavily medicated. It can snowball out of control.”

As the second M, medications are important to review for how they affect older adults, especially to ensure that they don’t interfere with their goals. If a person has to be hospitalized, they may be put on medications meant for short-term use, but many residents continue taking them for months or years after returning to the nursing home. In other cases, a nursing home resident may be put on an antipsychotic drug or a sedative that robs them of their quality of life, Sturdevant said.

The third M, mentation, focuses on a resident’s mental health. Older adults can be susceptible to depression, and they should be checked for dementia, Round said. Assessing for delirium is also important because it often goes unrecognized in nursing home residents and, if untreated, can be life-threatening, she said.

Many nursing homes are also addressing mentation by decreasing how many times a night they wake up residents to check on them, Sturdevant said. For years, nursing home providers have awakened residents every two hours, interrupting their sleep, which can increase problems with mental activity and mobility.

The fourth M, mobility, is important for reducing falls and for overall quality of life. Helping residents move around increases their strength, which reduces the likelihood of falls, Sturdevant said. Mobility is also important for people who’ve had a fall because if they don’t get up soon after being treated, they may never walk again.

The OU College of Nursing received a grant of nearly $1 million for the 4Ms initiative. The grant comes from the Civil Money Penalties program, administered by the Oklahoma State Department of Health. When nursing homes are fined, that money goes to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and part of it returns to the Oklahoma State Department of Health, where it can only be used for quality improvement projects that directly help residents of nursing homes.

To introduce the 4Ms Framework to nursing homes, the College of Nursing will use its Long-Term Care Leadership Academy, a training program for people at three levels of nursing home employment: administrator and director and assistant director of nursing; RNs and LPNs; and certified nursing assistants.

Victory Cottage part of annual Parade of Homes event

By Rose Drebes While the Victory Cottage may be small, it will have a big impact on the work of Turning Point Ministries.

Michelle Gregory is the executive director of the organization which is very similar to Habitat for Humanity, but with a Christian component.

“We try to spread the love of Jesus through our ministry,” she said.

Turning Point only builds in Edmond.

Homeowners must complete Financial Peace and home building courses and put in 200 hours of sweat equity.

There are two neighborhoods in downtown Edmond in which Turning Point has built homes — Heritage Village and Red Birch. Gregory said they like to stay in urban areas where homeowners don’t have to use their cars and

can access public transportation.

She said Turning Point owned a “little sliver’’ of land in Red Birch that really wasn’t big enough to build a home on. Caleb McCaleb, the owner of McCaleb Homes, was interested in how his company could give back to the

community.

McCaleb Homes has donated its time and its vendors have donated supplies. Gregory said that has been worth $94,000 toward the construction of the 908-square-foot Victory Cottage.

The one-bedroom, one-bath “tiny

house” will be listed on MLS. All of the profits from its sale will go back to Turning Point.

“McCaleb Homes has been amazing during this process,” Gregory said.

And, she said, the money will help Turning Point do amazing things for future homeowners.

At present, Turning Point has 13 families working toward homeownership. The Victory Cottage, which is located at 308 Victory Rd., is set to be a part of the Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association’s Parade of Homes Fall Classic, Saturday through Sept. 27.

Commentary ... We’re on YOUR Side Food still a need Be careful when casting blame in central Oklahoma scrapegoat.

Cain recalled applying someThe political documentary film “Uncle Tom” had some interesting points.

It’s by Larry Elder, a Black commentator.

He interviews other Black con- Steve Gust servatives and gets their thoughts on modern racial issues.

He asks them about why they are sometimes seen as “sell outs,” or “Uncle Toms” for their beliefs.

He also takes a look at history of minorities and their treatment by the government.

One theme espoused is that many minorities have been made to believe in “victimhood.”

In other words they are told they can’t get ahead because the system is rigged against them.

Elder and his guests disagree with that.

One of those to dissent is the now late Herman Cain, famed businessman and former GOP presidential candidate.

where and getting the job. He was told he would be the only African American on a staff of 14 or so.

His reply was “so what?” If his fellow workers had a problem with his race it was their problem, not his.

After working there for months, him and another employee went for a review. The other employee was white and got the promotion.

Instead of immediately jumping to conclusions, Cain asked his supervisor what happened.

He told Cain both had done great jobs, but the other man had a master’s degree.

“So you know what I did?”

Cain recalled. “I got myself a master’s degree.”

From then on Herman Cain couldn’t be stopped and wound up being a great success.

Yet after watching the movie, I realized a lot of people, not only minorities, suffer from not believing in themselves more.

If someone suffers a setback in life, there’s always some kind of a

Someone might blame their parents for not allegedly bringing them up right. Or perhaps dad got mad and said something that hurt some child’s self esteem.

Who knows?

Maybe they blame the schools and teachers they had in life. If only they had pushed them in the right direction.

Make no mistake. There are times outside influences have some impact on what happens to someone’s future. Yet many other times, people need to just look inward and turn their attitude around 180 degrees.

-----Wouldn’t you like to know the ad dollars being spent on the Fifth Congressional District race?

It’s amazing.

People will spend millions and millions of dollars on a job that doesn’t even pay $200,000 a year.

Go figure.

By Deb Bunting and Lori Long Today, we ask you to consider the reality that one in six Oklahomans faces food insecurity every day. This includes one in four children.

People who are food insecure are not certain where their next meal will come from. Hunger has long been an issue in Oklahoma, the fifthhungriest state in the nation. The COVID-19 pandemic and the economic downturn are creating the perfect storm for Oklahoma’s most vulnerable.

The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma and the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma’s communitybased partner agencies are responding to a 30% increase in need for food assistance in every

county throughout the state. We are meeting Oklahomans like Judy, whose husband lost his job due to the pandemic and, as a result, the family has struggled to afford food.

“Money is tight,” Judy says. “Every penny has been stretched to the limit. This food will help us out tremendously.”

Any gains the Oklahoma food banks have made in the fight against hunger have been wiped away by the pandemic. While the state is reopened, there are many who don’t have jobs to return to and the projections for food insecurity in Oklahoma are rising.

You can help. September is Hunger Action Month, a time to take action to help fight hunger in our communities and across the state.

During September, the Oklahoma food banks will promote activities that the public can participate in to make others aware of the issue of hunger. Sept. 10 is Hunger Action Day and supporters are encouraged to wear orange in support. We need every Oklahoman engaged in this fight.

It’s not easy for someone to ask for help but it is easy to offer a helping hand to our neighbors. We need your support now more than ever to help the increased number of Oklahomans living with food insecurity. Every action counts so visit feedingoklahoma.org to learn how you can join the fight against hunger.

Together, we can end hunger, one action at a time.

Bunting is interim CEO of the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. Long is CEO of the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma.

Cutting red tape helps U.S. workers

By Jonathan A. Wolfson Earlier this summer, I had the privilege of attending an event at the White House where President Trump highlighted how deregulation helps American workers.

There on the South Lawn sat two pickup trucks: one weighed down with a heavy load representing decades of regulatory burdens; another with a now-empty bed, the load lifted by a giant crane representing this administration’s three years of deregulatory efforts. In line with the president’s agenda, the Department of Labor, where I lead the policy shop, has lifted more than $19 billion in regulatory costs off the economy — costs that would otherwise weigh down job-creating businesses and keep benefits from their workers.

For decades, the weight of regulation only grew with new, costly Washington decrees while old, ineffective ones stayed on the books. Regulatory accumulation choked the life out of many businesses, especially small businesses. This is why President Trump made cutting red tape a top priority. The White House Council of Economic Advisers estimates that this new deregulatory approach will raise household incomes by $3,100 per year. As deregulation increases choice, productivity and competition, American workers win.

Two deregulatory actions that I am most proud of are those of expanding employee benefits through Association Retirement Plans and Association Health Plans. These rules allow small businesses in a common field or region to band together to offer their employees retirement and

health care plans. Another vital deregulation expanded the list of perks (like wellness programs, snacks and loan forgiveness) an employer can provide employees without triggering financial penalties. This rule gives employers greater certainty and workers more benefits.

These are just three examples of DOL’s more than 30 deregulations that make it easier for businesses to expand, hire and provide benefits to workers. While the president’s Executive Order 13771 requires federal departments and agencies to eliminate two regulatory actions for each new significant regulatory action, The Office of Management and Budget has confirmed DOL’s deregulatory success noting that the agency has taken more than 12 deregulatory actions for every one regulatory action — exceeding the administration’s impressive overall ratio of nearly 8-to-1.

DOL’s deregulatory emphasis has continued during the COVID-19 response. From the start of the pandemic, President Trump understood that the government needs to cut red tape and empower the private sector. Typically, Washington responds to challenges by adding even more regulation. Not this administration, which has taken more than 800 actions to suspend or revise regulations that would have slowed America’s COVID19 response.

Another way that DOL lightens the load of regulation is by making rules and guidance as clear as possible. DOL enforces many laws, and our team is not afraid to use every available tool to ensure that workers receive the legal protections they deserve. Just last year, DOL set records for

the collection of back wages and benefit plan recoveries for employees.

To better educate employers and workers, DOL launched the Office of Compliance Initiatives in August 2018. OCI hosted 6,000 compliance events last year, and helps DOL agencies create webpages and publications so that employers understand their legal obligations and employees understand their rights. The vast majority of employers want to comply with the law and do right by their employees, therefore OCI’s innovative work allows DOL agencies to focus their enforcement time and resources on bad actors. Compliance assistance lets companies spend their precious resources paying employees and growing the business, not on compliance lawyers.

President Trump’s regulatory reforms are the most sweeping in decades. His new approach to regulation helped propel the economy to new heights, and it remains critical to rebuilding the American economy. With new jobs exceeding expectations by more than 12 million over the past three months, American employers and workers are bouncing back without burdensome regulations weighing them down. Labor Day reminds us of the importance of job creation for workers and the entire economy; the Department of Labor will continue its focus on deregulation as the great American comeback continues.

Wolfson is a deputy assistant secretary and leads the policy office at the U.S. Department of Labor.

Lake Charles recovering from Hurricane Laura

By Elaine Warner There are some destinations that just keep calling me back – and I go willingly. Lake Charles, Louisiana, is one of those.

Over the years, 48 hurricanes have hit the town. Its latest visitor, Laura, was the most destructive in a century. The town is in shambles; 600,000 people in the area were Elaine out of electricity and water. As I write this, -- two weeks after the hurricane hit (August 27), many of them still are.

I spoke to a city worker who told me the only people living in the city are those with generators. The entire parish is still under an evacuation order. Streets are still being cleared of downed power lines and debris and traffic is sharply curtailed. And there’s a citywide curfew in effect between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m Lake Charles is about 30 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico. It sits on the east shore of Lake Charles, fed by the Calcasieu River which flows into the Gulf. It’s more directly connected by a ship channel through which large tankers travel to service the petro-chemical industries on the city’s northwest side.

While the expected storm surge failed to materialize, this time the devastation was caused by recordbreaking winds. Laura swept in with gusts up to 150 mph.

My last visit to Lake Charles was in March. I stayed at L’Auberge Casino Resort. This was (and will be again) a fantastic place to stay whether you enjoy gaming or not. My suite was elegant with a bathroom the size of my bedroom at home. The tub filled from the ceiling – something I hadn’t seen before.

I’m a shower person myself, but I had to run water into the tub just for a photograph!

The food in the restaurants was superb. Chef Lyle Broussard treated us to amazing grilled oysters topped with garlic and tasso butters. We watched Head Bartender Kelly Bistok mix a Loup Garou – a tasty cucumber/basil daiquiri with edible glitter at the Embers Bar in the hotel. And for breakfast, Cajun Benedict – andouille sausage, avocado, crawfish tails, fried green tomatoes, corn bread, poached egg, and hollandaise sauce – talk about a kick-start to the day!

Like every place else in town, L’Auberge took a hit.

There was damage to the upper floors of the hotel, tiles ripped off the roof and the pool area trashed. In spite of damage, L’Auberge is a center for recovery efforts. The owner company, Penn National Gaming is setting up an emergency relief fund and the hotel will be hosting two barbeques for first responders and needy in the community in their parking lot. They’re also partnering with the Louisiana Hospitality to host

another dinner featuring meals from New Orleans restaurants. They have no reopening date but are extending pay and benefits for their employees for the next 60 days.

Two other casinos also sustained damages. The roof of the Golden Nugget Casino was torn off and at the Isle of Capri the riverboat section of the casino was ripped loose and blown into the I-10 bridge.

It’s not surprising that other places I visited also took hits – everybody did. Breakfast at the Bekery was a real treat. Owned by Rebecca Landry, the breakfast/lunch spot features a wonderland of freshbaked goodies, sandwiches and soups. Scones, muffins, quiches, croissants and cinnamon rolls – all fantastic. Most of the damage was to the outside of the building; the inside is OK. They will probably be one of the earlier spots to reopen.

One of the town’s top attractions is the Mardi Gras Museum, housed in a 1912 school building. It’s a fantasy of frills, furs and feathers, topped off with jewels – some even real. The roof on the northeast corner of the building suffered and, with rain, created a waterfall on the third floor of the building. The museum collection is on the second floor and was mostly undamaged – just wind blown. I was not able to reach the museum itself so I’m hoping there is minimal damage to the elaborate costumes.

PHOTO PROVIDED

Most of the beautiful costumes in the Mardi Gras Museum were undamaged by the hurricane.

At Bayou Rum Distillery in nearby Lacassine, the gift shop is already back open. The event center and office area were damaged but the distillery was spared. They’re still not back to normal – thanks to the virus rather than the hurricane. Rules for that prohibit on-site consumption and tours. But it is an amazing gift shop. And I love the history of the business and the fact that their rum is made from 100 percent natural, unrefined, Louisiana sugar.

Back in Lake Charles, Crying Eagle Brewery had minor structural harm but in their outdoor beer garden, downed trees and debris played havoc. Their best-selling beer is Louisiana Lager made from Louisiana rice from a local mill. Always looking for a beer that doesn’t taste so much like beer, I went for Drunk in Love – chocolate-covered cherry milk stout.

Still tasted like beer. But if you like beer, you’ll find one here that you love. They expected to be open by the 15th but with a limited bistro menu due to damage to some of their large kitchen equipment.

Other places I visited – Villa Harlequin Restaurant and 1910 Restaurant and Wine bar – damaged but will reopen. Kathryn Shea Duncan at Visit Lake Charles helped me catch up with what’s going on.

She’s working from home – the roof was torn off her office and the organization has moved in with Adventure Point, the visitor center for the Creole Nature Trail. So it’s neighbor helping neighbor with everyone pitching in.

Villa Harlequin’s statement summed up the attitude of Lake Charles, “This is just a chapter! Not going to be our whole story! Stay tuned to further installments! SWLA Strong!!!” Down but not out, Lake Charles is someplace to put on your to-go list when we’re all finally able to get going again.

Documentary looks at social media issues

By George Gust We tweet, we like, and we share -- but what are the consequences of our growing dependence on social media? As digital platforms increasingly become a lifeline to stay connected, Silicon Valley insiders reveal how social media is reprogramming civilization by exposing what's hiding on the other side of your screen in Netflix’s latest documentary “The Social Dilemma.”

“The Social Dilemma” is a documentary that focuses on a series of interviews with current and former Silicon Valley executives as well as high level educators discussing the current state of our collective social media addictions and all the harrowing implications therewith. It’s a feeling most of us can admit to having; you put your phone down after a session perusing the social media platform of your choice, but then you reach down for your device to check the latest posts without knowing why. “The Social Dilemma” takes this odd, seemingly knee-jerk impulse and attempts to extrapolate the eventual individual and societal repercussions of the ubiquitous use of social media. And for the most part “The Social Dilemma” succeeds in chillingly bringing together

the existential threat of our day-to-day interactions with sophisticated artificial intelligence.

While most of “The Social Dilemma” plays like a straight documentary featuring interviews of tech professionals in their own words, there is also a running dramatized story of a modern young teen and his family that is used to highlight a dramatized scenario to illustrate the documentary’s thesis. This dramatic element is the weakest part of the film. While there are many moments of humdrum life that are perfectly captured, most of these dramatized sequences end up feeling more like a cheap afterschool special from the 90s.

These goofy sequences are spotted throughout the film, and while they provide a real-world example of the concepts discussed through interviews, their lackluster execution hindered the documentary’s overall experience.

Overall, “The Social Dilemma” brings up some thought-provoking ideas about a subject that most of us relate to on a day to day basis. There are some alarmist feelings that come up throughout the film, while the positive effects of social media take a back seat, but it seems the overall goal of the documentarians was to raise the warning of the unprecedented and exponential growth of these systems that appear to have gotten away from even their own creators. In the age where we spend so much of our lives online and a growing sense that the world is descending into chaos “The Social Dilemma” feels like essential viewing to try and explain how tech companies like Twitter and Facebook have become political, and social behemoths that they are.

“The Social Dilemma” is rated PG-13 for some thematic elements, disturbing/violent images and suggestive material. Streaming now on Netflix.

3.8 out of 5 stars.

Armstrong to have encore for ‘Celtic Throne’ From Golden Globe-nominated composer Brian Byrne (Heartbeat of Home) comes Celtic Throne, a majestic new musical score for a brand-new Irish dance production from Herbert W. Armstrong College and Armstrong Dance. Fresh off tours of Branson, MO and Rapid City, SD, Armstrong Auditorium will host two encore performances of Celtic Throne on Thursday, Oct. 15, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 18, at 2:00 p.m.

Celtic Throne—The Royal Journey of Irish Dance explores the ancient origins of Irish step dance and celebrates the millennia-long journey of a music- and dance-loving people as they migrate from the ancient Near East to Ireland, Scotland, England and the United States.

Infused with innovative choreography, dazzling costumes, spectacular lighting and projection, Celtic Throne is Armstrong College’s largest production to date.

“Celtic Throne combines Byrne’s powerful, cinematic musical score with hard- and soft-shoe Irish dancing, all set against epic imagery of Ireland, the Scottish Highlands, scenes from the British Empire and traditional America. This show is a stonking celebration of the British Isles and the United States. It is guaranteed to leave audiences thrilled and inspired,” said co-director Brad Macdonald. “Bring the entire family for an unforgettable experience!”

Irish-born Brian Byrne is a multi-award-winning film and television composer, songwriter and producer whose wife is lyricist Kasey Jones, a native Oklahoman. The couple lives in Oklahoma. Byrne composed music for Heartbeat of Home and has collaborated with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, including Katy Perry, Bono, Barbara Streisand, Josh Groban, Sinead O’Connor, Kelly Clarkson and Sarah McLachlan, to name a few.

The Armstrong Dance troupe is comprised of more than 30 Irish dancers from around the world, including Britain, Australia, Canada and the United States, ranging in age from 22 to just four years old.

The troupe is comprised of students from the Carey Academy in England and the Maguire Academy in America, some of whom have competed with great success in top Irish dance competitions, including Worlds, All Irelands, Great Britain and North American Nationals.

Tickets to Celtic Throne—The Royal Journey of Irish Dance range from $20 to $45 for adults and $15 for children 17 and under, and reservations are required. For tickets, visit ArmstrongAuditorium.org or call (405) 285-1010.

The award-winning Armstrong Auditorium has established itself as a world-class center for the arts in Oklahoma since 2010. The theater has hosted acclaimed local and international performances from a vast array of genres, including classical, jazz and folk music, theater, classical ballet, folk dance and more. Designed to provide an exceptional acoustic experience, only 75 feet separate the stage from the back wall, allowing the 823-seat theater to boast a nine-millisecond initial time delay gap—a measure of remarkable acoustic intimacy. Armstrong Auditorium’s exquisite beauty and warm atmosphere continue to make it an extraordinary venue worthy of its numerous accolades.

Two Performances at Armstrong Auditorium: Thursday, Oct. 15, at 7:30 p.m.

Sunday, Oct. 18, at 2:00 p.m.

Each grant provides funding to support unique segments of Central’s student body from veterans to future teachers and those pursuing science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields.

the University of Manitoba, she analyzed the correlation between physical IPV and mental health consequences in abused women. The results from the study indicate that women who were physically abused by their partner were eight times more likely to develop a persistent mood disorder. Additionally, victims of physical abuse have an increased chance of experiencing symptoms of depression such as difficulty completing daily tasks or making important decisions. Women who have experienced physical IPV are also at an increased risk for anxiety disorders, PTSD, substance use disorders, and suicidal ideation. Another great resource, LoveIsRespect.org, has a comprehensive list of dating abuse statistics and long-lasting effects of IPV. Both male and female victims in abusive relationships are at an increased risk for eating disorders, risky sexual behavior, and continued experiences of domestic violence. These are just some examples of the risks associated with IPV and future research could potentially identify additional consequences as well.

Dating abuse and intimate partner violence is a universal experience. It does not discriminate by age, class, gender, or culture. It is a silent epidemic that leaves victims hurt, broken, and at risk for long-term consequences.

If you or someone you know is a victim of intimate partner violence, visit LoveIsRespect.org for additional information and resources on how to get help.

By Jamie Prisco-Rudolph Often times when interacting with young adults on the topic of dating abuse and intimate partner violence, they will state “relationships suck!” and “why do we need to talk about this?!”

Jamie These are all valid comments considering their age. To my surprise, as I start my talking points, some of the young adults begin to speak up and discuss their own experiences with troublesome past relationships. We discuss stalking behaviors, emotional manipulation, and even ghosting people (the act of purposefully ignoring someone’s texts or calls in the hope they will leave you alone and move on to someone else). By the end of these conversations, some of these abusive behaviors seem pretty common among the young adults and it helps me realize that intimate partner violence is alive and well in modern relationships.

What is intimate partner violence?

Turns out, there are many, many different definitions depending on where you look or who you talk to.

For the sake of keeping it simple, intimate partner violence is any physical, sexual, or psychological act that causes physical and/or emotional harm to an individual in a relationship. While physical abuse seems to be the one we hear about the most, intimate partner violence (IPV) can also manifest itself in other ways such as financial or digital abuse.

These behaviors can occur in any relationship and both males and females can be victims as well as perpetrators of these acts. Being in a relationship surrounded by abusive and manipulative behaviors can negatively impact one’s physical health, quality of life, and heightens the risk of developing mental health issues over time.

In an article by Mahin Delara from

The Navy christened one of its newest attack submarines, the future USS Montana (SSN 794), during a ceremony Saturday, at Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries, in Newport News, Virginia.

An Edmond resident played a key role in the dedication.

The principal speaker was Under Secretary of the Navy (Acting) Gregory J. Slavonic. Ms. Sally Jewell, former Secretary of the United States Department of Interior, also served as the ship’s sponsor. In a time-honored Navy tradition, she christened the ship by breaking a bottle of sparkling wine across the bow and state, “in the name of the United States I christen thee.”

“The future USS Montana will play an important role in the defense of our nation and maritime freedom,” said Slavonic. “She stands as proof of what teamwork – from civilian to contractor to military – can accomplish. I am confident USS Montana and her crew will ensure our Navy remains safe and strong to proudly serve our nation’s interest for decades to come.”

The future USS Montana (SSN 794) honors the Treasure State. She will be the second commissioned warship bearing the name. The first USS Montana (ACR-13), an armored cruiser, was also built at Newport News Shipbuilding and commissioned July 1908. She served in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, landed Marines during unrest in Haiti in 1914 and escorted convoys during World War I. She was decommissioned in 1921.

Construction of the current Montana began April 2015 and is the

Greg Slavonic third of the ten Block IV Virginia Class submarines.

Virginia Class submarines are built to operate in the world's littoral and deep waters while conducting antisubmarine warfare; anti-surface ship warfare; strike warfare; special operation forces support; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; irregular warfare; and mine warfare missions. Their inherent stealth, endurance, mobility and firepower directly enable them to support five of the six maritime strategy core capabilities – sea control, power projection, forward presence, maritime security and deterrence. They are replacing older Los Angeles Class submarines as they retire.
