Walters City Council Meeting Held May 20, 2014City Manager John Shep-

pard gave each councilman a packet of information on the City Airport. He stated that the FAA is cutting small airports from the NPE Fund-ing. Sheppard stated that the FAA has stated that since we do not have ten (10) aircraft at the Airport, Walters is one of the Airports that will lose the funding. He stated that the FAA is wanting the City of Walters to release the FPE funds that we have. Then these funds can be transferred to the Wiley Post Airport in Oklahoma City and the R.L. Jones Airport in Tulsa. He stated that right now the City has $600,000 allocated for the Airport. Rick High addressed council stating that he is request-ing that the City not release these funds tonight. High stated that he has visited with both a manufacturer and a contractor concerning our airport runway. He stated that be believes the runway can be repaired. He stated that he flew in a manufacturer with CrackMaster Mfg. out of Shawnee and they both walked the runway. He stated that the manufacturer stated that we can repair the runway ourselves. High stated that the cracks are fixable and he presented two (2) quotes on materials from SYH Great Plains, LLC. City Manager John Sheppard stated that he is not sure that the FAA will allow us to use some of the NPE funds to repair the

runway. Sheppard stated that he is meeting with the FAA in the morning. High stated that when we repair the runway, we will need a maintenance plan to preserve it. High spoke of the costs to repair the runway and all of council were in agree-ment that the City does not have any extra funds to put towards the runway right now. High stated that he is just requesting that council not release the funds tonight and check with the FAA to see if any of the NPE funds can be used for the runway. High informed council that the airport is used for all of Cot-ton County, not just Walters. Visitor Gerald Henley asked if the County would be willing to help us out? City Manager Sheppard stated that the County might be willing to let us use their equipment. After discussion, a motion was made and approved to not release the FAA-FPE funds.

City Manager John Shep-pard gave the new health insurance premiums on the employees to council for review. He stated that he is proposing instead of paying $500.00 on each employee’s health insurance premiums, he is proposing that the city pay 90% on each employee. Sheppard stated that this will keep the City Contribution the same and the employee paying a little more. He stated that he believes this is the best way to handle the in-crease. A motion was made

and approved to approve the City Manager’s proposal for paying 90% on the employee’s major medical premiums.

City Manager John Shep-pard addressed council con-cerning buying property that the city has liens filed on. Sheppard stated that the property is located in Walters Addition to Walters, Lots 17-20, Block 80; Street Address 227 W. Nebraska. Sheppard stated that this property is coming up for sale at the Tax Resale to the highest bidder on June 9th, 2014. Total amount owed on it as of May 15th, 2014 is $10,266.29. Sheppard stated that of this amount $9,776.88 is liens that the City of Walters filed. There will be additional fees added from May 16th till the sale date. After consid-eration, a motion was made and approved to allow the City Manager to bid on the property.

City Manager presented the General Fund FY 2014-2015 Budget for the council to review. He went over each department’s budget with councilmen. No action taken. The Public Hearing on the Budget will be at 5:00 p.m. on June 3, 2014.

Citizen Gerald Henley addressed City Attorney Hyman Copeland concerning a neighbor of his that has a travel trailer next to his house. Mr. Henley stated that he would like a legal opinion about this. City At-torney Copeland stated that

the City Clerk has already took care of this and she can explain to him what is taking place. City Clerk stated that the Code Enforcement Officer drove out to the property af-ter the last council meeting that he inquired about this. Clerk stated that we are not aware of any utilities con-nected to the travel trailer. She stated that the Officer sent the property owners a letter letting them know that they are not allowed to have more that one single family dwelling on the property. Mr. Henley stated that he has seen a cord running from the electric pole and a water hose running to the trailer. Clerk stated that she would have the Code Enforcement Officer drive back out there and check into it and send another letter. She asked Mr. Henley to please call the Code Enforcement Officer as soon as he sees these code violations, because the Code Officer is the one that handles it, not the city council or attor-ney. Councilwoman Roberta Ellis asked if the councilmen would mind if someone from the Ministerial Alliance prays before each council meeting. All of council stated they did not mind but they requested that the City Attorney check it out first. There was no other new business.

May 30, 2014 – Blood do-nors can ‘FEEL COOL’ about giving Friday, June 13, from 2 to 6 p.m. at an Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI) sum-mer blood drive. The event will occur at the Temple High School cafeteria.

Donors will experience the incredibly cool satisfaction of saving up to three peoples’ lives! Each will receive a voucher, redeemable for two tickets to the Oklahoma City Zoo and a T-shirt, featuring the Zoo’s snow leopard.

“Summer is a time for fun, including visits to the Zoo,” said John Armitage, M.D., OBI president and CEO, “but first, we can ease concerns for those in our area who rely on blood donors by taking just an

hour to give.”Since as many as three pa-

tients’ lives in area hospitals are saved each time someone gives blood, donors can al-ways feel good.

Anyone who is healthy and 16 years of age* can usually give blood, and donations can be made every 56 days. Health screenings and Donor Rewards points, redeemable in OBI’s online store, are also

provided to donors.Through a special initia-

tive to support donor centers in underserved countries, any donor can forgo the T-shirt. In turn, Oklahoma Blood In-stitute will make a monetary donation of similar value to Global Blood Fund. It’s a chance to ‘doubly give’ to help those battling for their lives locally and internationally.

Oklahoma, June 2- Aver-age retail gasoline prices in Oklahoma have risen 2.7 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.41/g yesterday, according to Gas-Buddy’s daily survey of 2,294 gas outlets in Oklahoma. This compares with the national average that has increased 1.2 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.64/g, accord-ing to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.

Including the change in gas prices in Oklahoma during the past week, prices yester-day were 22.1 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 0.8 cents per gallon higher than a month

Oklahoma Weekly Gas Price Update and Outlookago. The national average has decreased 0.3 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 0.6 cents per gal-lon higher than this day one year ago.

“It’s been another rela-tively quiet week across most of the country with the national average fluctuating little,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. “Having said that, some hot spots have emerged- specifically areas of the Great Lakes where prices last week shot within just a tenth of a penny of four dol-lars per gallon. While that has led Great Lakes and Midwest markets higher, I

don’t believe the higher prices are sustainable much longer. In many areas that saw large jumps last week we’re already seeing relief. For the rest of the country, this week will likely feature little movement as wholesale gasoline prices continue in their funk and as we await the “traditional” decline of wholesale prices to start the summer driving season,” DeHaan said.

Oklahoma City (May 30, 2014)— The Oklahoma Lot-tery Commission is warning Oklahomans of a potential scam seeking to deceive con-sumers into believing they have won a lump sum of money from a Mega Millions sweepstakes game.

Most of the phone calls are coming from an 873 area code. The scammer tells the person answering the phone that he or she has won a large sum of money and all they need to do to claim their prize is wire money to pay taxes on the prize in up-front payments.

Environmental issues com-mon to many of the facili-ties are contamination from indoor firing ranges, lead-based paint, and asbestos.

DEQ works closely with local community leaders to ensure their needs are met and these potential hazards are properly remediated prior to reuse.

Cleanups are conducted in cooperation with the Okla-homa Military Department and the Division of Capital Assets Management. More information on SCAP is avail-able at www.deq.state.ok.us/LPDnew/scapIndex.htm.

May 30, 2014 – Fewer peo-ple donate blood on summer-time Mondays and Tuesdays. So, Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI) has partnered with the Oklahoma City RedHawks to provide special rewards for those who do.

“Early bird” blood donors at all OBI donor centers will get a voucher for two general admission tickets* to a select RedHawks baseball game. Tickets to June 29, July 24, or August 21 games can be claimed at the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark during regular box office hours with a photo ID in advance of the select game start time. The offer is available through August 19, only at Oklahoma Blood Institute donor centers.

“This is a great program to encourage Oklahomans to donate blood throughout the

Oklahoma Blood Institute, RedHawks Reward “Early Bird” Donors

summer,” said RedHawks president/general manager Michael Byrnes. “The Red-Hawks are pleased to partner with OBI to make sure that medical facilities across the state can maintain the nec-essary blood supply to meet their patients’ needs.”

To be considered an “early bird”, donors must donate on Mondays or Tuesdays ONLY. Donors can donate at any donor center across Oklahoma, and giving blood typically takes only one hour. Anyone who is healthy and 16 years of age can donate**, and donations can be made every 56 days.

“Summer presents a real challenge to meet the needs of 150 hospitals we serve. You know, the need for blood doesn’t take a summer break,” said John Armitage, M.D.,

president and CEO. “Pa-tients in Oklahoma hospitals have needs 365-days-a-year, whether it’s for scheduled treatments or for emergen-cies. We hope donors will visit us on Mondays and Tuesday, when donations tend to slump. There’s a great night at the ballpark in it for them.”

For more information or an appointment, contact Oklahoma Blood Institute at 877-340-8777 or visit www.obi.org.

* 16 year olds must weigh at least 125 and provide signed parental permission, 17 year olds must weigh at least 125 pounds, 18+ year olds must weigh at least 110 pounds.

** Vouchers for tickets have no cash value and are available on a first come, first served basis.

STILLWATER, Okla. – With the official start of sum-mer just a few short weeks away, Oklahomans have noticed a warming trend. And so have their furry friends.

Pet owners who enjoy spending time outdoors in the warm weather often bring their pets along. Just as a person takes heat precautions for themselves, they should do the same for their pets, said Dr. Elisabeth Giedt, director of Continuing Education, Extension and Community Engagement at the Center for Veterinary Health Sciences at Oklahoma State University.

“Heat stroke, also known as hyperthermia, occurs when your pet severely overheats,” Giedt said. “Many people en-joy soaking up some sun, but the heat definitely can take a toll on the human body and your four-legged friends as well. Heat exhaustion can be even more dangerous for animals than it is for humans because they don’t sweat like people do. Dogs rely on panting to cool themselves. If an animal is confined to an enclosed space with poor ventilation, such as inside of a car or garage, it can quickly suffer from heat stress, heat exhaustion or heat stroke.”

This is especially true for young, old or overweight dogs and cats. Brachycephalic breeds such as pugs, English bulldogs and Persian cats, are specifically prone to problems during the summertime.

While you may enjoy tak-ing your pet in the car while you run errands this summer, do not leave the animal in the car while you go inside the store, even if it is just for a few minutes. The interior of

a car can quickly heat up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, even if parked in the shade with the windows cracked.

At home, shade is an ab-solute must for pets that live confined to the yard. Do not tether your animals because the leash or rope can become tangled and the animal could get stranded in the sun.

“Providing a shady and well-ventilated spot for out-door pets will keep them cooler. You can even place some cold, wet towels in your pet’s sleeping area,” Giedt said. “If your pet sleeps in a dog house, wet towels are especially good because the temperature inside the house can get quite hot.”

In addition, outdoor ani-mals require a continuous supply of cool water in con-tainers that cannot be tipped over. If possible put ice cubes or small frozen containers of water in the pet’s water bowl every morning. This will help the water stay cool longer.

Another suggestion for helping your pet stay cool in the hot summer months is to put a small kiddie pool in the yard and keep it filled with cool water.

Pet owners who are fitness minded may enjoy jogging with their animals, but it is imperative to keep in mind over exertion in hot weather can easily cause them to over-heat quickly, especially long hair breeds. Humid weather makes pets even more suscep-tible to heat exhaustion, even if the dog jogs with you every day in cooler weather and is in excellent shape.

Giedt said clinical signs and symptoms of a dog that is overheated or suffering from

heat stress or stroke may include body temperature 104 degrees Fahrenheit or above, elevated heart rate, excessive panting, dark or bright red tongue and gums, staring and unresponsive, staggering, seizures, bloody diarrhea, vomiting or even in a state of collapse.

Emergency treatment for this condition includes spong-ing the animal’s neck and groin area with cool water till its body temperature is lowered. Contact your veteri-narian immediately because the pet may require further treatment to prevent serious complications that can occur with heat-related illness. Heat stroke can lead to se-vere organ dysfunction and damage.

Some pet owners believe clipping a dog’s hair coat will help pets stay cool during the summer months. However, Giedt said some hair left on the dog can protect the skin and if the hair is clipped too short, the skin can burn, just as human skin does.

“It’s always a good idea to keep your pet’s fur trimmed, if necessary, and this is especially true for animals with thick, heavy coats. Talk to your veterinarian about what kind of clip would be beneficial,” she said. “Some animal’s coat protects their skin and can actually trap cooler air next to their body and help keep them cool on hot summer days. Your vet-erinarian is a great source of information about keeping your pet safe during the sum-mer heat. Keep in mind your pet depends on you to provide the very best care possible.”

1 Thessalonians 5:10-11(KJV) 10 Who died for us,

that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 11 Wherefore com-fort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

First of all! I thank God for the rain that resulted in green grass. I guess I might could have said “Thank You for the grass!” Keep on prayin!

I remember seein’ a little cartoon capsule from years ago. The animation was of two bugs talking while their friend flew into a bug light zapper. One bug said to the other as they watched their friend get zapped, “I told him Jesus is the Light. You must go to the light. And so he did!”

My thinkin’ is this: There is one Jesus and one real gos-pel. Don’t accept anything but the “real” good news or you’ll likely get fried like a bug in a bug zapper!

Eph 5:8 says, “for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light.” (verses from nasb)

So just how is a child of Light supposed to walk? Well, he sure ought to walk like he can see where he’s going. I

JC Bunkhouse by: Wes Kinder

Go to Jesus

once knew a feller that always looked down and would run into walls. One day, his base-ball coach convinced him to walk all the way home while always looking ahead. As he walked down the street, he fell down into an open manhole.

Jesus is the way!“Your word is a lamp unto

my feet and a light unto my path.” (Ps 119:105)

“And in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the dark-ness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” (John 1:1-5)

To give further under-standing, allow me to spell it all out: Jesus is Light, He is the Word. He is with God, He is God, He is Spirit. Jesus

is Way, Jesus is Truth, Jesus is Life!

Or to say it kind of like John wrote it: God loved the world a whole bunch! So much that He sent His Son, and whoever believes in Him won’t ever die, but will live eternal. That’s longer than a long, long time! To quote a line from a famous movie, “To infinity and beyond!”

But Satan is darkness. He is evil. He is a representative of hell, a place of eternal tor-ment! Apart from God there is no way!

Which way do you choose? Please choose life! Choosing not to choose is choosing the wrong choice!

Just how dark is a total absence of light? You ever been in a deep dark cave? Have you ever literally not been able to see even your hand in front of you? That’s how it is without Christ.

Now understand, a feller can go to church and he can

hear the Word preached. He can even read on it for a spell, but if he don’t choose Christ, he might as well be reading a Louis L’Amour western. Now, while L’Amour’s books are a good read, and they al-ways had a good ending; but they don’t change anything. Read the Bible and you will be changed!

Knowing who Jesus is don’t change much. But hav-ing a relationship with Jesus Christ changes everything! Like night and day, only much more!

If you turn on a light switch and the light doesn’t come on we either suspect that the bulb has burned out or there is no power!

Our Power Source is Jesus, and He will never come un-plugged! He did once at the cross so He could make full payment for the sins of the world, but once was enough. He lives!

As His followers, we need to have what I’d call a Tom Bo-dett attitude towards others, “We’ll leave the Light on for you!” So go to the light, and let others see Christ in you!

Are you ridin’ His trail? See y’all at church and keep

prayin’ for rain!

Precious Words of WisdomBy: LaOna Gonzales

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Genesis 1:1-2 (KJV) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (2)The same was in the begin-ning with God”. John 1:1-2) As we look closely to these 2 verses we see that they both start with, In the beginning, This is because God is show-ing us that he is 3 parts just as we are, and without Him there is no beginning.

There is God, The Father, God, The Son, and God, The Holy Spirit. We are made up of 3 parts, also, spirit, soul, and body. The devil has per-verted this to the point that the world would say that we are body, soul, and spirit, but this is wrong. We are a spirit, that has a soul, that lives in a body. The most important thing for mankind is to come to the realization that our spirits are the main part of us.

We, as Christians, need to know that the spiritual world is more real than the human world. We are governed by this spiritual world which is a mystery to us without the Holy Spirit living in our lives. In other words, we can’t understand the written Word without the teaching of the Holy Spirit. God created the heaven and the earth, but

In The Beginning

the Word(Jesus) was just as alive as He was. And, so was the Holy Spirit.

Look in your Bible Concord-ance for the word, mystery, and read all the scriptures that pertain to that word. Then ask the Holy Spirit to give you the understanding of these scriptures. He will, if you ask Him!

Read the 1st chapter of Genesis. Look closely at verse 2, “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”(KJV) The next several verses begins with either, God said, God called, God saw, God made, God set, God created, and God blessed. Now, we see that the Word of God(Jesus) was spoken, and the Holy Spirit of God moved. Thus, we have the Triune God, or what we call The Trinity. Without the spiritual world of God there would be no earth or universe. There would be no us!

There is no such thing as a big, bang theory! It’s just a theory that can’t be proven! This reminds me of a joke: Some scientists got together, and told God that they could make a human without His help. God told them to go ahead and do it then. They

said that they could take some dirt, and water, and make a man. Then God told them, “Hold on a minute! Get your own dirt!” Now, that’s just too funny! God made everything, and don’t let anyone tell you anything different! He even made the devil; the angelic creature that tried to take over Heaven, and put his throne above God’s throne. What an imbecile!

Did you know that the earth is the only planet that is made perfectly fit for hu-mans to live on? No other planet has been made that man can walk around with or without clothing, breathe, eat and drink without either freezing to death or burning up. This is another proof that we are fearfully and wonder-fully made by a being that is greater than anyone or anything in the universe. God was, is, and is to come. He has always been, and always will be. He owns everything!

The devil would have you to believe that is not true, but his job is to pervert everything that God says or makes. Ac-cording to John 10:10a we are told, “The thief(the devil) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:” The Bible calls him the thief, the serpent, and the accuser of the brethren. He is the one

that is always bringing up your past and telling you that you do not have a future. He is, also, known as the father of all lies. He can’t tell the truth, because the Truth is not in him.

Just think, he can’t ever go to Heaven again! He can talk to the Father, but he can no longer go into His presence! Now, how great is that?! Once we are gone from this present world the devil can no longer tempt us, lie on us, and mess with our thinking, or make us sick. He will be thrown into the lake of fire, according to Revelation 20:10-15.

I have told you this before, but I need to tell you again: We cannot be the overcoming Child of God that we were made to be without the Holy Spirit living in us, on us, and all around us. We have to have Him, because He is the Third Person of the Godhead. He was sent back to us by God through Jesus Christ’s request to be our Comforter, Teacher, and Guide to lead us into all the Truth. Don’t discount what He can do in your life! He will be your Best Friend, just like Jesus, just like God the Father.

So, just as God Is, so Is Je-sus, and so Is the Holy Spirit. And, They were always “In The Beginning”. And, They will ALWAYS BE!!!

Remember, we love you and are praying for you at The Open Door Church of God where GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!!!

Oklahomans looking to try something new with the family this summer may want to give fishing a try. A great time for that will be June 7-8 during Oklahoma’s Free Fish-ing Days, which allow people to fish without state fishing licenses or permits.

“Free Fishing Days gives people a chance to just ‘test the waters’ and see if they would enjoy the sport,” said Ken Cunningham, assist-ant chief of fisheries for the

Free Fishing Days Coming Soonto the “Where to Fish” map found in the Wildlife Depart-ment’s “Oklahoma Fishing” regulations guide, available online at wildlifedepartment.com or where fishing licenses are sold.

Anglers may also sign up to receive the weekly Oklahoma Fishing Report. Compiled by Wildlife Department person-nel and independent report-ers, the report reveals inside information on the best places to go fishing, when the fish are biting and what baits they are hitting the most. Anglers can have the fishing report e-mailed to them by subscrib-ing wildlifedepartment.com/fishing/fishrpt.htm.

Participants in Free Fish-ing Days should note that certain city permits may still apply to specific fishing areas June 7-8. Also, all of Lake Texoma is open for free fishing on June 7, but will only apply to the Oklahoma portion of the lake on June 8. Anglers must abide by all Texas fishing license and permit requirements when fishing the Texas portion of Lake Texoma on June 8.

Oklahoma was the first state in the nation to offer Free Fishing Days about 30 years ago and has since been followed by dozens of other states that have established similar days.

While Free Fishing Days allows people to fish without having a state fishing license, anglers still must abide by all other fishing regulations including daily bag limits and size restrictions.

Anyone can wet a line in Oklahoma on June 7-8 during Free Fishing Days without a state fishing license. But keep in mind that other permits or licenses might still be required by local controlling agencies. Have fun and good luck!

Governor Mary Fallin

“Oklahoma Now”Monthly Column

At the beginning of the 2014 Legislative Session, I asked our lawmakers to work with me to build on the considerable momen-tum we have helped to create in Oklahoma. That momentum includes:

· Over 90,000 new jobs created since 2011 and a reduction of the unem-ployment rate from over 7 percent in 2010 to just 4.6 percent today

· Per capita income growth of 6.3 percent from 2011 to 2013, the second-highest growth rate in the nation during that time period and

· The restoration of the Rainy Day fund, which went from broke ($2.03 in 2011, to be exact) to a high over $570 million

We have achieved these results through hard work and a commitment to fiscally conservative, pro-growth policies as well as the elimination of gov-ernment waste. When Washington tried to push irresponsible, costly poli-cies down our throats – like Obamacare’s unaffordable Medicaid expansion – we stood with the people of Oklahoma and loudly told President Obama, “No.”

I am proud to say that 2014 was a productive legislative session that continues to build on that previous good work. Some of the highlights include:

Lower taxes for families and businesses:

This year I signed into law a responsible, meas-

The 2014 Legislative Session: Creating More Opportunities for

Oklahoma Families and Businesses

ured income tax cut that will save families an aver-age of $158 per year once fully implemented and return over $200 million annually to the private sector. Reducing the in-come tax rate in Oklahoma makes our state more com-petitive and able to attract good jobs, something that is especially important as neighboring states con-tinue to reduce taxes.

I also signed a continua-tion of a key tax incentive program that reduces costs for oil and gas companies drilling new wells in Okla-homa. That incentive will continue to make our state the best place in the coun-try for the energy industry, which supports one in four Oklahoma jobs, to operate and invest in.

A conservative budget that cuts bureaucracy while increasing resources for education:

The budget passed this year is a responsible, bal-anced budget that closes a $188 million budget short-fall by making necessary cuts while still adequately funding state government.

While many agencies will receive cuts, the budg-et delivers a much needed $80 million funding in-crease for K-12 education, getting more money into the classroom and funding reforms that will improve accountability and boost student performance. With that increase in resources, K-12 public schools have now received more than

$154 million in the past two years, more than any other area of government during my administration.

Better compensation for public employees

It is no secret that many state employees are underpaid, making it hard to recruit and retain qualified workers, and ulti-mately eroding the quality of service for taxpayers. To begin addressing that problem, this year’s budget includes $36.8 million in pay raises for over 12,300 state employees, including corrections workers, state Highway Patrol troopers, and child welfare workers. It also includes raises for the state’s most underpaid employees, as identified by the state’s recent compre-hensive employee compen-sation study.

Addressing pay dis-parities is only half the solution when it comes to state employees; we also need to address the state’s fiscally unstable pension system. With $11 billion in unfunded liabilities and a stagnant, mid-20th century model in place, today’s pension system was threatening to col-lapse under its own weight, jeopardizing the promises the state has made to our current employees and re-tirees. To fix that, I signed a bill to move future hires to the 401K-style pension model commonly used in the private sector. The new system will offer employees more portable and flexible retirement benefits while getting the state back on sound fiscal footing.

I’m excited about the di-rection our state is headed in, and I’m proud that the 2014 legislative session continued to push us in the right direction. Oklahoma has always been a strong, caring community; and we are providing our families and businesses with more and better opportunities to flourish each and every day.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (June 3, 2014) – Tractor Supply Company, in part-nership with National 4-H Council, recently announced the record-breaking fundrais-ing results of its spring 2014 Paper Clover Campaign.

Tractor Supply Company, the largest retail farm and ranch supply store chain in the United States, raised an astounding $787,769 during the 12-day national in-store fundraiser, breaking the record for most monetary do-nations during the four-year collaboration. Tractor Supply has raised almost $4 million for 4-H programs across the country through Paper Clover Campaigns in just four years.

Shoppers at Tractor Sup-ply Company and Del’s Feed and Food Supply stores had the opportunity to purchase paper clovers between April 23 – May 4 for a $1 or more during checkout. Seventy percent of the funds raised benefit state and local 4-H youth development program activities, such as local camps and after-school programs, and granted scholarships for 4-H youth in the communi-ties where Tractor Supply and Del’s stores are located. Thirty percent of the total funds are donated to National 4-H Council to help connect more young people across America to high-quality 4-H youth development programs.

“This spring’s Paper Clover Campaign was a huge suc-cess thanks to our dedicated customers,” said John Wen-

My wife Kim and I recentlyhad the wonderful opportu-nity to work on a Habitat forHumanity building project inOklahoma City.

As honorary project chair-man, Kim helped make thistwo-week “blitz build” pos-sible by raising funds, recruit-ing volunteers and workingon the house as often as pos-sible.

I was able to join her forthe first day of building, work-ing alongside the futurehomeowners with trained pro-fessionals and a host of vol-unteers.

We worked together to turna bare slab into a fully-framedhouse in about six hours. Atthe end of the day, the soon-to-be homeowners had a doorto lock and windows to shut.

In only a few days, they willbe moving their three chil-dren into their new home.

Habitat for Humanityhouses are sold at no profitwith no interest mortgages toqualified families.Homeowners are selectedbased on their level of need,willingness to become part-ners in the program and abil-ity to repay the loan. In re-turn, the homeowners are re-quired to work several hun-dred hours on their home andother Habitat for Humanityprojects.

According to Habitat forHumanity, more than 5.1million American families areforced to pay more than halftheir income for housing, en-dure overcrowded conditionsand/or live in severely defi-

cient houses.The high cost of housing

leaves limited-income fami-lies little money for other ba-sic necessities, forcing themto choose between buyingfood, medicine or clothing andpaying rent. Poor living con-ditions even impair children’sability to succeed in school.

Habitat for Humanity ishelping families in Oklahomaand around the world buildsafer, healthier, more hope-ful lives. I am proud of themany Oklahomans who arehelping this organizationbreak the cycle of poverty.

Those interested in volun-teering or donating to Habi-tat for Humanity can go towww.Habitat.org or call 229-924-6935 to find a local affili-ate.

Home Sweet Home

Recently we’ve gotten ac-customed to images of wild-fires racing across our state.With the snow in parts ofOklahoma that danger’s gone,right?

terrible drought. Unless wehave additional precipitation,we will be right back wherewe were. At least the snow

Don’t lose focus on the wildfires- instead let’s thinkabout reducing their fuel by cutting down cedar treesBy Clay Pope, Executive Director,Oklahoma Assn. of Conservation Districts

gave parts of Oklahomabreathing space. So with thisshort reprieve, I think it’s timewe look at ways to reduce thedanger from future wildfires.There’s no better place to startthan by reducing the fuel thatfeed these fires and first onthe list should be the easternred cedar.

Cedar trees are taking overOklahoma. According to theUSDA Natural ResourcesConservation Service(NRCS), red cedars in Okla-homa infest approximately762 acres a day. That’sroughly 300,000 acres a year.These trees crowd out otherspecies of plants, costing ag-riculture producers millionsof dollars in lost grazing landeach year. An evergreen, thered cedar grows year round,denying other trees water andnutrients, creating a canopythat eventually eliminatessunlight from other treeswhich then wither and die.This destroys wildlife habitatby eliminating more benefi-cial tree species and by invad-ing native grasslands.

When it comes to fire, theeastern red cedar creates aunique menace. The oils in

their limbs make them espe-cially susceptive to fire. Theirbranches grow close to theground and ignite easily. Thetree then becomes a “ladderfuel” allowing fire to climb upits limbs, igniting the canopyof taller trees, making a smallgrass fire into a potential in-ferno. This can also happen ifa cedar catches fire next to ahome or other building. Ifthat’s not bad enough, it’sbeen estimated that on aver-age, cedar trees can consumeclose to 100 gallons of waterper tree per day (200 gallonsby an average salt cedar and85 gallons by an average redcedar).

What do we do? First,homeowners should recognizethe dangers posed by cedars.The National Wildlife/UrbanInterface Program recom-mends that homeowners re-move cedars from within 30-40 feet of their houses. Theyalso suggest trimming treelimbs 6 to 8 feet from theground. Other recommenda-tions can be found at w. Land-owners can also contact theirlocal Conservation District orNRCS office to see what otherhelp might be available.

Letters to the Editor

Tuesday afternoon, January 16, 2006, many wonderfuland dedicated local people came to our aide when a fireconsumed approximately 50 bales of hay and our pickup.Thankfully, no one was injured and no homes were involved.We would like to thank Jackie Glenn for quickly calling theWalters fire department and making sure Jessie had safelyexited the burning pickup. The fire department respondedquicky and professionally and is responsible for getting thefire under control before any homes or further loss couldoccur. We are so thankful for our fire department and volun-teers. They are dedicated, hard working people who exhibitbravery every time they respond to a fire. We thank you allfor our commitment to serving the community and selflesslyputting yourself in jeopardy while doing a great job. We oftentake your sevices for granted until we need you. Since it is sodry, fire deparments all around us have spent many dollarsand man-hours fighting fires and are suffering financially.Perhaps it is time for us to come together as a community tosupport our fire department in their time of neeed.

My name is Harry Carroll, and I am asking for your votein the upcoming school board election, February 14, 2006. Iserved on the Board of Education during the 80’s while bothmy daughters were in the Walters Public School system. Ifelt very strongly then, as I do now, that our absolute firstpriority should be making sure we equip our children withthe best education possible. We live in a small town, but asmall education is not what we should offer. We have giftedteachers committed to giving our students a firm foundationin the basics and I am concerned that lately too much timehas been spent embroiled in issues that do not benefit thestudents, the teachers, or the community.

We live in a difficult world, a world where technologicaladvances are growing exponentially and in order for ourchildren to compete and prosper they have to be prepared,both mentally and physically. As the world changes we haveto meet these needs by offering an ever expanding body ofcourses and then make sure our teachers have the tools andmaterials necessary to do their job. We need to foster a can-do attitude based on mutual respect and understandingamong parents, students, teachers and administrators.

I have owned a business in Walters for the past 30 yearsand during that time I have seen many young people gradu-ate and take their place in society. Many times I havewondered if they are ready. I do not want to see any child failor struggle needlessly because of some lack on our part toprepare them for this transition. We owe them a good, broadbased education,and they should accept nothing less.

That’s why I am running for the School Board. I am willingto freely give of my time and whatever talents I possess to domy part, not as an armchair quarterback, but a participant.

As to my education -- I hold a BS in Business from MiamiUniversity as well as graduate level courses from SMU.Additionally, I served as a officer in the Marine Corps whereleadership and integrity were requirements of the job.

I would appreciate your vote.Harry Carroll

Question: “What can I do as a citizen when I see a driver flip a lit cigarette butt out of their car (espe-cially when the fire danger can be so high)? Are there any consequences for such people?”

T r o o p e r N a t h a n Mackey #591 answered this question in an ear-lier publication and felt it was important to remind everyone of the dangers of throwing out a lit cigarette.

Thank you for taking the time to write in to your local newspaper about this very serious subject. As I’m sure you know most of the counties in southwest Oklahoma are currently in a burn ban due to the extremely dry weather we have seen over the past few months. Now more than ever people need to be aware of the dangers that come with throwing a lit substance from a vehicle. Hopefully I will be able to answer your questions and also help others to be more aware of this serious problem.

First of all, throwing anything out of a vehicle can end up costing you a lot. Title 21 Chapter 69 section 1753.3b of the Oklahoma state statutes states that the act of throw-

Tips From A Troopering, dropping, depositing, or otherwise placing any litter from a vehicle upon highways, roads, or public property shall be subject to a fine of not more than one thousand dollars and upon conviction shall be sentenced to perform not less than five nor more than twenty hours of com-munity service in a litter abatement work program as approved by the court. So even if you throw out a cigarette that is not lit it will still get into your pocket book and will, upon conviction, even cause you to have to perform some sort of community service.

Subsection (c) of the same Oklahoma statute gives the penalty for throw-ing any lit substance out of a vehicle. It states that any person who throws a lit substance or any sub-stance which may cause a fire shall be subject to a fine of not more than two thousand dollars and, upon conviction, shall be sentenced to perform not less than ten nor more than forty hours of com-munity service in a litter abatement work program as approved by the court. Subsection (d) gives the penalty for throwing a lit substance from a vehicle

during a burn ban. It states that anyone who throws any substance from a vehicle which may cause a fire shall be subject to a fine of not more than four thousand dollars and, upon conviction, shall be sentenced to perform not less than twenty nor more than eighty hours of com-munity service in a litter abatement work program as approved by the court, or the violator may be subject to criminal prosecution as provided by the provisions of Section 1761.1 of title 21 of the Oklahoma state statutes.

Section 1761.1 is quite a bit more serious and even states that a violator may be held liable for any dam-ages that occur from the act of deliberately placing, throwing, dropping or de-positing any lit substance during a burn ban. In this section the violator is subject to up to a ten thousand dollar fine or im-prisonment in the county jail for up to 120 days. If the court sees the need, it can sentence the violator to both the fine and jail time. So to answer your question about the consequence of throwing a lit cigarette out of a vehicle, it could cost you 10 grand and land you in the county jail for about 4 months!

Although this is a very serious problem, it is still only a misdemeanor.
