By C.F. DavidYvonne Martinez, was
driving and Cory Ottinger, a passenger a week ago Sunday when they were stopped by an OHP Trooper west of Boise City at EW 21 and U.S. Highway 56. A search of the vehicle resulted in the arrest of both on felony charges of drug possession among others.
The driver, Martinez, h a s b e e n c h a rg e d a n d bonded out on: possession o f a C D S ( c o n t r o l l e d d a n g e r o u s s u b s t a n c e ) , (Methamphetamine), a felony; possession of a CDS (Meth), with intent to distribute, a felony; possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony, a felony; possession of drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor; p o s s e s s i o n o f a C D S , (marijuana) a misdemeanor; transportation of an open conta iner, (whiskey) , a misdemeanor. These charges carry potential jail sentences totaling 24 and one-half years to life and fines totaling $27,500.
Ottinger has been charged with and bonded out on charges of: Possession of a CDS (Meth), a felony; possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony, a felony; possession of drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor. These charges potentially carry sentences of 20 plus years and fines of $6,000 or more.
Since early September, these are the fourth and fifth arrests of local citizens pertaining to Methamphetamine in Cimarron County.
The drug can be injected, smoked, swallowed and mixed with alcohol. It goes by a variety of names, Meth, ice, crank, crystal and tweak, among them.
When asked, Dis t r ic t Attorney Mike Boring said that Methamphetamine is becoming a rapidly growing
Methamphetimine Rears Head in Cimarron Countyproblem in Cimarron County and throughout his district.
Boring is so concerned that his office will soon be presenting a program to Panhandle High Schools.
“If we haven’t scheduled it for Boise City we soon will. Can we save ‘em all? No, but if we get out there maybe we can save some.”
“Meth is potentially the most dangerous addictive drug we deal with,” Boring continued.
“People that use this can be hooked (addicted) the first time they use it, and can’t easily get away from it,” he added.
Next, Boring was asked i f t he d rug was be ing manufactured locally, or brought in, he replied, “It’s coming through here from Mexico all the time. The cartels are shipping it through here, and it is high quality stuff.” “Two weeks ago we seized six or seven pounds going through.”
Boring said some of the drugs are bound for Wichita, Kansas City and St. Louis, but some is dropped in Liberal and dispersed from there, perhaps finding its way back to the Panhandle and Cimarron County.
But he also explained that some of the drug is being produced in the Panhandle by a method called “Shake and Bake” where highly unstable chemicals are mixed into a plastic bottle. The method, said Boring is “…extremely dangerous, but it is also creating highly potent Meth.”
According to an October, 2012 article in the Huffington Post, Shake and Bake has created so many burn victims across the south and Midwest that some burn units have been forced close because of the dollars spent (sometimes $6,000 a day) on un-insured
burn victims.“This drug is devastating to
families,” Boring saidA visit to different sites on-
line can reveal the devastation Meth has made and can make to a family’s life.
Long term use can and very likely will, cause anxiety, confusion, insomnia, and mood disturbances and display violent behavior. They may also show symptoms of psychosis, such as paranoia, visual and auditory hallucinations, and delusions (for example, the sensation of insects crawling under the skin).
The drug can and will eventually remove desire to eat, bringing about massive weight loss. Those addicted will develop sores, poor dental health resulting in the loss of teeth; the “face” of Meth isn’t a pretty face.
Chronic methamphetamine use is accompanied by chemical and molecular changes in the brain. Imaging studies have shown changes in the activity of the dopamine system that are associated with reduced motor skills and impaired verbal learning. In studies of chronic methamphetamine users, severe structural and functional changes have been found in areas of the brain associated with emotion and memory, which may account for many of the emotional and cognitive problems observed in these individuals.
Some of these b ra in changes persist long after methamphetamine use is stopped, although some may reverse after being off the drug for a sustained period (e.g., more than 1 year).- National Institute on Drug Abuse.

By Jaedon WhitfieldThe Wildcats opened up
the Class C state playoffs at Tipton last Friday to take on the undefeated and #2 ranked Tigers.
Tipton had not allowed more than eight points scored on their defense all season long and this game proved to be no different as the Tigers demonstrated why they were so dominant during the regular season.
The Wildcats had trouble getting any offense going
Wildcats End Football Season at 7-3
all game and that helped allow Tipton’s offense to score quickly and often in a one-sided game that ended with Boise City losing 54-8. The Wildcats ended a great season with a 7-3 record and qualifying for the playoffs for the first time since the 2009 season. The Wildcats three losses were to the #1, #2, and #3 teams in the state.
This game was the final game for seniors Branden James, Austin Smith and Patrick Dunn.

Slinging a smooth stoneby C.F. David, Editor The Boise City News
In recent weeks we have readof a young man, supposedly re-jected by a young woman whothen went on a shooting spree,killing I believe two and himself,and wounding others. Or ayoung college freshman inDuncan killed his parents andsister. Why? So he could inheritthe family’s money; becausethey had cut off his funds dueto his spending habits.
The main focus was of coursethat someone had a gun andkilled people; not that this shouldbe ignored, but other thingsshould probably receive moreattention.
Why, I wondered, would re-jection and punishment elicit thiskind of behavior and reactions?
As a teen, I received my fairshare of rejection from girls andothers, and was told more thanonce I couldn’t have something.Growing up, I quite often wasthat boy everyone picked last,be it be flag or touch football onthe school playground, or RedRover during Vacation BibleSchool. But, I never shot any-one, or even wanted to do so.
I am not Dr. Phil, (thankGod), nor do I have a degree inPsychology, but I think I havesome valid insights as to behav-ior such as this.
In our wisdom, we (society)have sadly made the decision tocushion and coddle our children,to protect them from one of thegreat truths- LIFE ISN’T FAIR.
I can remember readingwhere a school decided that therewould no longer be a popularelection to decide who made upthe cheerleaders; the entire stu-dent body would be cheerlead-
ers- the reason for this decision?So girls and boys wouldn’t gettheir feelings hurt by not beingchosen. Really? When is it tooyoung to learn that out in the BIGworld you will never, maybeeven this very day, not get ev-erything you want? That dreamjob? Na, someone else waspicked. That Lexus? Your creditcan’t carry it. Does it hurt, youbet, but you swallow it, workharder and move on.
In an effort to make our kids“feel better about themselves”we haven’t done them any fa-vors.
We start early by having com-petitions and giving everyone atrophy or ribbon, just for par-ticipating. We have birthday par-ties where everyone gets a gift.Kids need to learn…early, if itisn’t deserved, you don’t get it,either because it wasn’t yourturn, or you didn’t earn it.
I have been told again andagain that sports, football, bas-ketball, track, build character,prepare young men and womenfor life, and to some extent, Iagree. But then, we destroy thoselife lessons. We put in placemercy rules, so when a team getstoo far ahead, the game is called.THIS? is learning about life andcoping with it? How? In life youlose jobs, homes, marriages,children and mates; and trustme, the game isn’t called earlyso you can feel better about your-self. No you fight on and try toget your life back.
Imagine my surprise to learnthat in today’s secondary sportsworld if you go out for a sport,and stay there, you receive a let-ter, not earn necessarily, but re-
ceive; there is a huge difference.Fifty-odd years ago, when in mysenior year I “went out for foot-ball” (I never played a down ina single game) I never receiveda letter. I participated in track,but wasn’t selected for statecompetition, so I wasn’t eligibleto letter. Was I disappointed? Youbet; did I kill anyone? No, be-cause I had/have been taught,you don’t earn it, you don’t getit.
(To be fair I received, notearned a letter for band that Ididn’t deserve, for after nearlyfive years in band I still can’t readmusic, or play a clarinet.)
Every day, on T.V. you seecartoons and commercials aboutbullying and how it’s wrong andto call a teacher or an adult ifyou see it happening. Again, 50and many more years ago, theanswer to a bully was a punchin the nose. But in our “enlight-ened” age this era of “Zero Tol-erance” you can be and usuallyare, suspended for bullying…andfor defending yourself. Whatkind of message are we sendingto our children? When they growto adulthood how will they an-swer a bully? And trust me 50years from now there will bebullies. Don’t believe me? Askthe president, he has met RandPaul, Trey Gowdy, Putin, andChina, he knows about bullies.(And yes, they come in allshapes, sizes, and political garb.)Bullies, much like truth, dependupon who you are, and whereyou are standing at the time.
This, is what I think we needto take away (learn) from youngpeople killing over disappoint-ments. We as a society havefailed them by not letting themlearn firsthand about failure, dis-appointment and how to prop-erly react to same.
MINISTERS’MUSINGS
Jerry RiceKenton Baptist
CAPITOL CORNERby Gus Blackwell, Rep.-61Rules Comm. Chairman
This is the last Capitol Cor-ner article I will write as yourState Representative. I wouldlike to thank you for the honorof serving you in this capacityfor the last 12 years. It has beenone of the greatest privileges inmy life. I have not always agreedwith everyone on each issue, buthave done my best to representthe interests of this district.
Of course, my legislative as-
sistant for the past eight years,Christi Deal, has been a hugepart of my efforts to help theconstituents of District 61. Shehas been the primary persondealing with constituent prob-lems and helping getting themsolved. If you have been fortu-nate to work with her you havewitnessed firsthand her compas-sionate professionalism and ex-pertise. Having worked in theHouse for over 14 years sheknew exactly who to call foreach problem.
Unfortunately for this districtshe is moving to the Senate tobe an Executive Assistant for a
new Senator, Darcy Jech. Ofcourse this is a great move forher and you need to congratu-late her and thank for her yearsof hard work for our district. Shewill still be at the same officenumber for a couple of moreweeks. She is also a Facebookaficionado.
Ms. Deal is the one who re-ally got the page program in theHouse updated and energized.She was instrumental in helpingme over the years get a largenumber of pages for this districtto serve in the House for a week.Each Representative is only sup-posed to have 4 part time pagesper year. With her help I wasable to obtain page slots fromother Representatives who werenot using them. During my timeas State Representative I wasproud to have sponsored over120 high school pages in the
House. They all were very suc-cessful and had a great timelearning about politics.
Of course her assistance inthe Legislative realm helped meimmeasurably. She was able tohelp me keep track of bills, fileamendments, and present bills incommittee. At a moment’s no-tice she was able to get a bill tome in committee or on the floor.Because of her help I was ableto pass over 124 bills and 20resolutions during my time asState Representative.
I first hired her when I waselected to the Speaker Pro Tem-pore position in the House. Thisis the #2 position in the Houseof Representatives and in the 100plus history of Oklahoma, I be-lieve only one other Represen-tative from this area served inthis high of a capacity in theHouse of Representatives. She
was able to handle all the stressand large work load associatedwith that high position with graceand dignity. I wish her the bestof luck in her new position.
I would also like to thank allthe people on the Legal, Re-search, and Fiscal staffs who gotme all the information I neededon different projects. They workin obscurity, but are the peoplethat keep the House running.Mr. Brad Wolgamott was my go-to person on staff that alwayshelped me with what I needed.He helped me through my fourchairmanships and always hadthe answer I needed. This is whyI am confident that our new Rep-resentative, Casey Murdock willalso be successful. He will havesuperb people in the House tohelp him represent the greatestpeople in Oklahoma; House dis-trict 61!!
A key word in Christianity isfaith. What is faith? Thedictionary says that it is belief ina supernatural power, it can bebelief in a person, or a plan.What most people don’t thinkabout or understand is that ev-eryone lives by faith. A coupleof simple illustrations to showwhat I mean: walking out abridge - you do that with the faithit will hold you and not fall;walking into a building - yourfaith is the roof won’t fall in onyou. These are things we takefor granted, but are things we
do walking by faith. Almosteverything you do each day in-volves faith in some way. Anatheist will tell you they don’thave to have faith, but (I amsorry to put it so bluntly) theyare lying to you. They live byfaith every day.
Last week I talked about howto get to heaven. The simpleanswer is you get in by faith inthe Lord Jesus Christ and whatHe did on the cross. From thatpoint I would like to talk aboutour day to day living and how itis completely hooked into faith.
A number of people think theBible has two parts, old and newtestaments. They say the OldTestament is all about the lawand obeying the law so that thepeople (Israelites or Jews) could
stay in a good relationship withGod. Then they say the NewTestament changes that, nowyou are saved by faith and yourrelationship with God dependson that. I want to show you inactuality this difference is nottrue. From the beginning of theBible to the end, our relationshipwith God has always dependedon faith.
Let’s look at the example ofthe father of the Jewish race,Abraham. Romans 4:1-3 -“What then shall we say thatAbraham, our forefather accord-ing to the flesh, has found? Forif Abraham was justified byworks, he has something to boastabout, but not before God. Forwhat does the Scripture say?Abraham believed God, and itwas credited to him as righteous-ness.” Then, if you go toHebrews 11 and look throughthis chapter of Old TestamentGod followers, you will see theywere called the people of Godbecause of their faith.
Ephesians 2:8-9 - “For bygrace you have been savedthrough faith; and that not ofyourselves, it is the gift of God;not as a result of works, so thatno one may boast.”
Then, why do we have thelaw? In short, so we will knowthe difference in right and wrong.Also, it shows we cannot keepall of the law, all the time. Wewill continually break it becauseof the fact we are sinners. Wemust acknowledge that fact.
How we live must be basedon much more than the law. Itshould only be based on faith inJesus Christ. Let’s see how thatworks.
Galatians 2:15-16 - Paul talksfrom the basis of being a Jew -“We are Jews by nature and notsinners from among the Gentiles;nevertheless knowing that a manis not justified by the works ofthe Law but through faith inChrist Jesus, even we have be-lieved in Christ Jesus, so that wemay be justified by faith in Christ(Continued on page 3)

CHECKSTATIONS ARE
NOT OPTIONAL By Sean Hubbard STILLWATER, Okla. –
Without all the proper informa-tion, it would be nearly impos-sible for anyone to make a cor-rect and useful decision. This istrue for the Oklahoma Depart-ment of Wildlife Conservationwhen setting harvest limits andseasons for proper wildlife man-agement. One of the most useful tools
available to help estimate harvestfor various wildlife species arecheck stations. In Oklahoma,online systems, availableat www.wildlifedepartment.com,are required for all hunters whoharvest a deer this season. “This gives estimates on har-
vest by county, wildlife manage-ment area, sex, age, date andweapon type,” said DwayneElmore, Oklahoma State Univer-sity Cooperative Extension wild-life specialist. “Biologists can usethis information to set seasonguidelines and to evaluate trendsin harvest over time.” The online system is not just
for deer in Oklahoma, as statewildlife law requires anyone whotakes a deer, elk, turkey orpaddlefish to check in their har-vest within 24 hours of leavingthe hunting or fishing area, and inall cases prior to processing thecarcass. Any device with Internetaccess can use the E-Check sys-tem. Failure to report any harvest
comes with some pretty steeppenalties, as well. ”The Wildlife Department’s
law enforcement division is put-ting special emphasis on enforc-ing the requirement for huntersto check in their harvest,” said BillHale, ODWC assistant chief oflaw enforcement. “If you getcaught not checking your harvest,the fine just for illegally possess-ing wildlife and the restitutioncould be in the thousands of dol-lars, and you would also be in vio-lation of the E-Check require-ments, which would add more infines.” In addition, there is a possi-
bility of hunting and fishing privi-leges, not just in this state, butalso in most every other state inthe nation, being suspended forfailure to obey the law. “It’s very important hunters
comply with regulations regard-ing checking animals,” Elmoresaid. “This information assists
ODWC with better managingthe resources and providinghunting opportunities.” The E-Check stations are
convenient for hunters who nolonger have to search for opencheck stations and the ODWCdoes not have to send biologistsand technicians to physicalcheck stations to collect data. “Anyone who does not
check in their harvest is actuallyharming the resources that be-long to you and me. This per-son could be jeopardizing thefuture for all hunters andoutdoorsmen,” said RobertFleenor, chief of law enforce-ment for the OWDC. “If youknow of someone who is notabiding by the law, please re-port it to us.” Report game law violations
by calling Operation Game Thieftoll-free at 1-800-522-8039.Callers can remain anonymousand might be eligible for a cashreward if the violator is con-victed. Reports also can bemade to the OWDC’s law en-forcement division at 405-521-3719 or to your local game war-den.

Oklahoma State Universityoffers in-depth view of agri-culture through “Farm toFork” Massive Open OnlineCourse (STILLWATER) – Using
the latest teaching methods,Oklahoma State University willbe sharing its vast knowledge ofour nation’s most fundamentalindustry through a Massive OpenOnline Course titled Farm toFork: A Panoramic View of Ag-riculture. “Rooted in Oklahoma State
University’s land-grant missionto serve and improve society, weare utilizing new technologiesand curricular models such asMOOCs to reach an even largernumber of constituents who canbenefit from this knowledge,”said Gary Sandefur, OSU Pro-vost. The 16-week course, taught
by OSU College of AgriculturalSciences and Natural ResourcesAgricultural Economics Profes-sor Bailey Norwood, will be con-ducted entirely online and is opento anyone. It will focus on top-ics including livestock care tech-niques, the industrialization ofagriculture, the impact of localfood on the local economy andthe role of politics and culture infood. “OSU continues to serve as
an international leader in agricul-tural sciences, and this course,taught by one of the field’s mostnotable experts, will present themost up-to-date knowledgeavailable about food productionand safety,” said Sandefur. The course will be separated
into modules and will includevideos, readings, virtual farmtours and online office hours.Students will engage in thecourse by uploading photos re-lated to assignments and willparticipate in forums to discusstopics covered in the class. Theformat of the online course pro-vides Norwood with an oppor-tunity to explore new and con-temporary teaching methods. “OSU has been creative
about using technology in theclassroom, but this course hasgiven me the ability to use tech-
nology to take us out of the class-room – onto dairy, beef andswine farms, and into DNA andsoil test laboratories,” saidNorwood. “Ironically, theInternet-based course will takeparticipants outside more than atraditional class. The course isconducted through a robustInternet platform that facilitatesdiscussion within virtual fieldtrips, video lectures and reading.” The course is available and
open to the public. Participantsare able to participate for free orto enroll for a reasonable onlinetuition cost to earn OSU credit.The course will begin Jan. 12. “A primary goal of this online
offering is to educate new anddiverse audiences from acrossthe world,” said Sandefur. “Al-though the course does not re-quire a background in agriculture,all participants should share a in-terest in the historical and politi-cal study of agriculture as wellas the role of food in our soci-ety.” To learn more about the
course and to register, visitcasnr.okstate.edu/farmtofork.

Teaching teachersBy Janet Barresi,
State Superintendent ofPublic Instruction
Friday, Nov. 14, 2014Good teachers are first good
students.Over the past several months
and during much of the last twoyears, Oklahoma State Depart-ment of Education (OSDE) in-structional directors have takenprofessional development tothousands of Oklahoma teach-ers and school administrators inacademies, workshops andtrainings held in schools andCareerTech centers throughoutthe state.
The outcome is teachers whohave greater understanding ofthe state’s academic standardsand a renewed focus on how totranslate these standards intoevidence-based activities theycan share with their students.The goal is students who attainmastery of their studies and ulti-mately are prepared for collegeand career.
“I learned to be more creativein finding or making ‘thinking’problems,” one elementary mathteacher said after a day at aPASS-Plus Academy.
“I loved the handouts andgreat momentum. I left with 4pages of notes :),” wrote anotherteacher.
“I had fun in this interactiveworkshop. I feel like I learnedmany methods to help my writ-ers,” wrote another.
More than 2,500 English andmath educators from acrossOklahoma have taken part in theregional PASS-Plus Academies.The workshops were designedto give teachers suggestions forenhancing instructional effective-ness while modeling how to in-crease rigor, relevance and re-sources using the state’s PriorityAcademic Student Skills (PASS)standards.
OSDE began the academiesafter the passage of legislationthis year requiring Oklahoma’sPreK-12 teachers to use PASSstandards for English languagearts and mathematics through2016. The state will developnew and stronger academic stan-dards to go into effect in 2016.
Also during the last fewmonths, state science teachershave attended training on newacademic standards for science,adopted by the state Legislatureearlier this year. These acad-emies have given teachers an in-depth look at the new contentstandards along with plenty ofopportunities to practice hands-on activities they can use in theirclassrooms.
In September and October,secondary English, math, scienceand social studies teachers wereinvited to attend free AdvancedPlacement training. Math teach-ers learned problem-solving andAlgebraic thinking. Scienceteachers created learner-centeredclassrooms. History teacherscrafted historical arguments, andEnglish teachers learned inquiry-based close reading and compo-sition.
This is just a fraction of thework that is ongoing with theOSDE. Our instructional team isoften on the road, bringing pro-fessional development opportu-nities close to classroom teach-ers across Oklahoma. All of thistraining is free for our educators.
The number of teachers whohave taken part encourages us,and we are thrilled with theirpositive feedback.

NEW AYRMESH BRIDGEPROVIDES LONG-RANGE
NETWORK ACCESS MINNEAPOLIS (AgPR)
Nov. 18, 2014 — Now farmersand ranchers can have a long-range Internet connection up to14.5 miles from their home-baserouter. Ayrstone Productivity in-troduced the AyrMesh™ Bridge,a 5-mile-long, point-to-pointInternet bridge that acts like awireless Ethernet cable, allow-ing farmers and ranchers to eas-ily connect distant devices totheir networks.
“This new technology toolmaximizes Internet coverageacross a property and throughfields and pastures,” said BillMoffitt, president of AyrstoneProductivity, a provider of wire-less farm networking devices. “Itwas designed to help our cus-tomers set up AyrMesh Hub net-works, but it has a variety of usesfor wireless networking and canhelp increase farm productivityand efficiency in more distantareas.”
For users who already havean AyrMesh wireless network,which uses a system of Hubs toprovide a long-range Internetconnection to devices up to 7.5miles from a home-base router,the AyrMesh Bridge can boostthe range and efficacy of thoseAyrMesh Hubs. In fact, it canextend the reach of the networkup to 14.5 miles, easily access-ing devices such as remote cam-eras, switches, gauges andweather stations without theneed for a cellular data signal.
“The AyrMesh Bridge canalso be used by those who don’thave an AyrMesh network, sim-ply as a way to connect one partof the farm to another, even de-vices that are several milesapart,” Moffitt explained. “Forexample, it can connect a remotebuilding or camera to a homerouter.”
Each AyrMesh Bridge con-tains two radios, the Gatewayand the Remote. The BridgeGateway can connect to yournetwork in four ways: a) directto your router, b) through anAyrMesh Hub, c) through anAyrMesh Receiver, or d) throughthe Remote radio of anotherAyrMesh Bridge. The Remotethen connects to the device youwant linked to your network. Ituses a 5 GHz, low-interference,narrow-band signal and typicallyprovides a bandwidth of 5 to 30megabits per second for fastInternet service, depending onhow far apart the radios are.
“The AyrMesh Bridge is easyto install but does require good
line-of-sight,” added Moffitt.“The biggest advantage it hasover other point-to-point bridgeproducts on the market is theextreme ease of installation anduse because the Bridge is man-aged and monitored from theAyrMesh.com web portal, justlike the AyrMesh Hubs and Re-ceivers.”
The AyrMesh Bridge retails for$449.95 and can be purchasedfrom a local Ayrstone Pro Part-ner or on the company’s websiteat www.ayrstone.com.

MUSCOGEE(CREEK)NATION
CREATES NEWCONSERVATION
DISTRICT OKMULGEE, Okla. - The
Muscogee (Creek) Nation andthe U.S. Department of Agricul-ture (USDA) announced todaythe creation of a new conserva-tion district that will help the Tribemanage natural resources, secureassistance for conservationprojects and encourage tribalmembers to own and operateagricultural land.
Principal Chief George Tigerand USDA Deputy Under Sec-retary for Natural Resources andEnvironment Butch Blazer mettoday in the Tribe’s capital cityto officially designate the newMuscogee (Creek) Nation Natu-ral Resource Conservation Dis-trict.
“It is a historic day to sign adocument that memorializes thepartnership of USDA andMuscogee (Creek) Nation,”Chief Tiger said. “Historically,we have been good stewards ofour land with special emphasison clean water and protecting theenvironment. This will allow usto grow in a positive direction inhaving more oversight of ournatural resources.”
As one of 45 Tribal Conser-vation Districts across the United
States, this newest district formedby the Muscogee (Creek) Nationprovides an organization forUSDA and the Tribe to work to-gether. USDA and the Tribehave a common vision of ahealthy and productive nation inharmony with the land. The lo-cal leadership through tribal dis-tricts will help guide and bringUSDA programs to tribal lands.
“We’re excited the Muscogee(Creek) Nation has invested in aconservation district to help tribalmembers achieve their conser-vation goals for clean water andair, soil health and wildlife habi-tat on Tribal land,” Blazer said.“Conservation districts serve animportant role, as they providelocally-driven solutions to natu-ral resource concerns. We lookforward to this partnership.”
The conservation district wascreated in late 2013 throughTribal legislation. A memoran-dum of understanding was signedtoday by the Tribe, the districtand USDA.
USDA’s Natural ResourcesConservation Service hasworked with the Tribe in the past,providing technical assistance.“The Muscogee (Creek) Nationis committed to conservation,and the creation of this conser-vation district is yet another im-portant step in that direction,”said Gary O’Neill, NRCS stateconservationist in Oklahoma.

financial safetytips for holiday
shoppersHoliday shopping
season brings higher riskfor identity theft and
fraudOKLAHOMA CITY – As
Oklahomans begin their holidayshopping, the increase in trans-actions may put them at a higherrisk for identify theft or fraud.Scammers are ready and wait-ing to take advantage of this in-creased use and are on the look-out to steal credit card informa-tion. Better Business Bureau ofCentral Oklahoma is offering thefollowing tips for Oklahomansto ensure their financial infor-mation is safe throughout theholiday season. “The holidays are a prime
target for credit card scammersdue to the sheer number of con-sumers using their credit cardto make purchases,” said KittLetcher, president and CEO ofBetter Business Bureau of Cen-tral Oklahoma. “Whether you’rebraving Black Friday or tack-ling shopping lists on CyberMonday, it’s important to takeprecautions so your financialinformation stays private.” BBB is offering the follow-
ing tips for holiday shoppers: · Be wary of phone pur-
chases. Phones are a primetarget for scammers becausethey’re easy to fool. CallerIDs, voice acting and researchare some of the toolsscammers are exploiting to robconsumers of their informa-tion. If you’re going to do apayment over the phone, callthe company yourself. · Divide your cards. You
don’t need to carry your fourcredit cards and two debitcards every day. If you keepyour credit card informationseparated, the safer you’ll beif someone steals your walletor purse. · Purchase online gifts
with a credit card. The saf-est way to pay online is to useyour credit card due to theFair Credit Billing Act whichprotects you from fraudulentcharges in a way that debitcards do not. Checks andcash can’t be recovered ifthey’ve gone astray, and los-ing your debit card informa-tion can be especially costly,depending on your bank. · Check your bills.
Keep a guarding eye on yourcredit card statements and re-ports. If your cards are com-promised, the sooner youcancel them the better. Alwaysbe on the lookout for irregu-larities that may appear. Con-tact your credit and bankinglenders directly to dispute thecharges. · Check Site Security. If
you’re ordering online, youwant to know that your per-sonal details are secure. Lookfor the little padlock icon inthe address bar or browserwindow and the prefix “https”in the URL.
Meeting Medica-tion Challenges asYou Age by JimmyG. Weaver D.Ph. According to the Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation,75 percent of people olderthan 65 have more than onechronic health problem. So,at this stage of life, it’s com-mon to take many differentdrugs. The problem is it canbe hard to keep track of morethan one drug. And how yourbody responds to medicinescan also change as you age.Challenges like these may ex-plain why one-third of hospi-talizations among older pa-tients are due to drug-relatedproblems. Communicatingwell with your doctor and mecan help you stay safe andensure your drugs work theright way. Each person’s situ-ation is unique, so get the per-sonal attention you deserve.Ask me any questions you
may have.In the meantime, here are some
ways to manage common chal-lenges you may face: 1. Multiple meds. It helps to
use one pharmacy for all your pre-scriptions and refills. That way, wecan check for potential interactionsbetween your medications. And wecan suggest supplements that wouldbe safe for you to take along withthose drugs. Bring me a list of allyour prescription and over-the-counter medications and vitaminsand supplements. Let’s discussways to synchronize or simplifyyour medication schedule. Askabout our refill reminder pro-gram—you never need to miss adose! If you notice any side ef-fects, tell your doctor and me rightaway. This can be a reaction to adrug or a combination of drugs. Itmay also be due to an interactionwith alcohol or certain foods. 2. Forgetfulness. You may find
it helpful to write down your medi-cation schedule. Note the day andtime to take each drug, and whatit’s for. Include special instructionssuch as whether to take the drugwith food and where to store it. Special pill boxes may also help.Also, set a daily routine and tie itto another well-ingrained habit. Forexample, if you need to take amedication at night, keep those pillsnear your toothbrush. 3. Cost. On fixed incomes,
many older adults are concernedabout the high cost of medications.First of all, know that skippingdoses or not filling your prescrip-tion is not a safe solution. You needto take the drug exactly as di-rected. Talk to me about ways toreduce costs. For example, we cansee whether a generic version ofyour drug is available. Or you maybe eligible for a prescription assis-tance program. Also, ask your in-surance company if you can get asenior citizen discount. Before fill-ing a prescription, your doctor mayhave free samples available. Thisisn’t a long-term solution. But youcan try a drug for free while seeingif it works with a minimum of sideeffects. 4. Swallowing or dexterity
problems. Do you have troubleswallowing pills or opening pillbottles? Together, we can come upwith a solution. For example, easy-to-open containers are okay if thereare no children in your home. And,you may be able to take a liquidmedicine instead of pills. Checkwith me first before chewing orcrushing tablets.
The ultimate result of shield-ing men from the effects of follyis to fill the world with fools.

(NAPSI)—Sausages are enjoying great popularity in theUnited States these days as new flavors, convenient prod-ucts and many great-tasting old standards are tastefullymeeting Americans’ breakfast, lunch and dinner needs.
Before you get to sausage sizzling, however, remember:Different types of sausage require different preparationtechniques. Here’s a look at a few favorites:
• Fresh linked sausage, including fresh bratwurst, freshItalian sausage and fresh kielbasa, must be cooked thor-oughly to 160° F for meat-based sausages and to 165° F forpoultry sausages. They can be parboiled and then fried orgrilled, or cooked in a frying pan or grill.
To parboil, place sausage links in a heavy skillet. Addwater to cover and parboil until the sausage is gray through-out (about 10 to 15 minutes). The sausage can then be frieduntil nicely browned. Parboiled sausage may also be grilledslowly over coals, turning frequently until gray-brownthroughout.
• For a special taste treat, parboil sausage in beer in-stead of water prior to grilling. Stronger-flavored beers tend
to impart more flavor to sausage. Beers heavy on malt willimpart a sweeter flavor, suitable forstrong sausages. Lagers tend to bemore bitter and complement a sweetersausage.
• Sausages may also be grilledslowly, thoroughly and evenly overmature coals or gas flames.
• Cooked sausage such as wieners,knockwurst, cooked bratwurst andsmoked sausage need only be heated
until hot, which can be done in a variety of ways. To steamprecooked sausage, bring a pan of water or beer to a boil.Remove the pan from heat and add sausage. Cover thepan and let it stand seven to 10 minutes. Adding sausagesto vigorously boiling water may cause the casings to split.
• Cooked sausage can be baked in a casserole dish,microwaved, grilled or panfried.
• All sausages in casings should be turned with tongsduring cooking—not with a fork, which can puncture thecasing and permit flavorful juices to escape.

(NAPSI)—Here’s advice many motorists canwarm up to: “An investment of an hour or twoto have your vehicle checked is all it takes tohave peace of mind and help avoid the costand hassle of car trouble during severeweather,” suggested Rich White, executive di-rector, Car Care Council. Its “Be Car CareAware” campaign promotes regular vehiclecare, maintenance and repair.
They recommend these steps:
• If you’re due for a tune-up, have it donesoon. Cold weather magnifies existing prob-lems such as pings, hard starts, sluggish per-formance or rough idling.
• Have the battery and charging systemchecked for optimum performance.
• Clean, flush and put new antifreeze in thecooling system at least every two years.
• Make sure heaters, defrosters and wiperswork properly. Consider winter wiper bladesand use cold weather washer fluid. Wiperblades should be replaced every six months.
• Check the tire tread depth and tire pres-sure—including the spare. If you’ll be drivingin snow and ice, consider special tires de-signed to grip slick roads. Check tire pressureweekly.
• Have the brakes checked.
• Have the exhaust system checked for car-bon monoxide leaks.
• See that exterior and interior lights workand headlights are properly aimed.
• Change the oil and filter as recommended.Consider “winter weight” oil. Have your tech-nician check the fuel, air and transmission fil-ters at the same time.
• Keep the gas tank at least half full to de-crease the chances of moisture forming andfreezing in the gas lines.
• Stock an emergency kit with ice scraper,snowbrush, jumper cables, flashlight, flares,blanket, matches, bottled water and food.

An account is already in place at the High Plains Bank.Thank you for anything you can donate, because I know
the holidays are coming.Joyce Conway.

have a driver’s license and good driving record, so you can drive me to Dumas and or Amarillo to see my husband in the nursing home and or VA Hospital. NO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL please.
Oklahoma Farm Bureau delegates set priority issues
for the next year Voting delegates at the 73rd Oklahoma Farm Bureau An-nual Convention selected two issues as top priorities for the next year. The right-to-farm legislation and working against federal overregula-tion, such as the EPA’s pro-posed changes to Waters of the U.S., will both be a focus of the organization’s policy. “The issue of right-to-farm is very important to modern-day production agriculture not only in Oklahoma but
also across the nation,” said Tom Buchanan, OKFB presi-dent. “We are working to pro-tect one of the primary eco-nomic drivers in the state of Oklahoma so our industry can continue to function as new technologies develop.” The delegate body also ad-dressed agricultural issues such as wind and water, along with private property rights, which is a cornerstone of OKFB policy. “Protecting the private prop-erty rights of farmers and ranchers is continually a top priority for Oklahoma Farm Bureau and its members,”
said Buchanan. One new state board mem-ber was elected and two state board members were re-elect-ed to serve three-year terms on the board of directors. Alfalfa County Farm Bureau member Keith Kisling, Burl-ington, was elected to repre-sent District 7 on the board. Beaver County rancher Alan Jett, Slapout, was re-elected to represent District 1, and Cotton County farmer Jimmy Wayne Kinder, Walters, was re-elected to represent Dis-trict 4. The Women’s Leadership Committee re-elected Kitty Beavers, Stephens County, to serve as chairman for a two-year term. Mignon Bolay, Noble County, was elected to represent District 7 on the committee. The committee
also re-elected Linda Fox, Ellis County, to represent District 1 and Margaret Ann Kinder, Cotton County, to represent District 4. The OKFB Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee elected Zac and Amy Harris, Kiowa County, to serve a one-year term as committee chair. The top three awards were presented through-out the annual convention. Karen Krehbiel and her daughter Brittany, Caddo County, were named the OKFB Farm Family of the Year. Roland Pederson was awarded the OKFB Distin-guished Service Award, and E.J. and Wanda Snider, Rog-ers County, were awarded the YF&R Lifetime Legacy Award.
