A
s you drive along Broadway it is evident that the
annual Poteau BalloonFest is upon us.
From business marquees to
billboards you can see images of
hot air balloons, bulls or 4x4
mudslinging pickups and ATVs.
This weekend’s BalloonFest
will offer a little bit of something for all ages, organizers say,
with events that can be watched
or joined as gates open at noon
Friday.
The best times to look up
toward the skies will be 7-10
a.m. and 4-7 p.m., however, all
balloon events are wind and
weather permitting, as atmospheric pressure plays a huge
factor in balloon actives.
The Fun Times Carnival will
be open from 6-10 p.m. Thursday with a $15 armband (no gate
admission required).
On Friday, rides will open at
noon with $20 armbands from
7-11 p.m. while Saturday will be
ride tickets only.
Parking will be free at Carl
Albert State College and the
Industrial Park and shuttle buses
will run to and from the main
grounds. There will also be main
grounds parking for $5 per vehicle per entry. Organizers request
that if you intend to park on the
main grounds, go to the Industrial Park by the old Wister highway, then come out on U.S. 271,
turning right into the fairgrounds. There will be no left
turns off 271 allowed into the
main grounds.

handle attack
brings charges
By Amanda Corbin
PDN Reporter
A Poteau man who allegedly attacked
another man with a wooden ax handle in
mid-May has been charged with several
crimes in connection with the incident.
Derrick Wayne Henderson, 35, faces
several charges, including two felonies,
for the alleged attack.
The District Attorney’s Office charged
him recently with first degree burglary and
assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. He also faces misdemeanor charges of
assault and battery and malicious injury to
property under $1,000.
According to the affidavit, the victim,
Joseph McConnell, said Henderson
showed up at his house on May 17, kicked
open the locked door and came inside

SERVING LEFLORE COUNTY
Choctaw writers are invited to a
creative writing workshop featuring
award-winning author Sarah Elisabeth Sawyer on Oct. 17.
The free workshop will run from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Choctaw Community Center in Poteau.
“The goal of this workshop is to
teach Choctaw writers how to pre-
serve our history and culture through
stories. We’ll cover nonfiction, fiction and touch on publishing as well,”
Sawyer said.
While the event is limited to Choctaw writer, “I would love to speak to
other groups if there is interest, but
am anticipating a full weekend with
the workshop preparations and presentation,” Sawyer said.
“For the first workshop I did along
these lines, we had 20 Choctaw writ-
ers from five states participate. That
workshop was sponsored by the
National Museum of the American
Indian, Smithsonian Institute and the
Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma,” she
said.
Registration is required.
Sawyer is a Christian author,
speaker and Choctaw storyteller of
traditional and fictional tales based

swinging a wooden ax handle. Court records show
McConnell alleged Henderson missed with the
handle, but hit him in the
ear with his hand before
holding him down and
strangling him. McConnell
said Henderson then broke
a mirror and left in his
pickup. Henderson was
later found by Poteau Police
Officer Billy Hooper and
taken to the department for
questioning. McConnell
reportedly told Cpl. Brandon McDaniel that Henderson had not lived at the
residence, although McDaniel said he spoke with
another individual at the
home who said Henderson
had but moved out days
prior to the alleged assault.
According to court
records, Henderson admitted the assault. He allegedly
told police he had been living at the home but moved
out a couple days earlier.
He told police he went to
the house to pick up the rest
of his belongings when
McConnell called him a
name.
Henderson allegedly
admitted he kicked the door
open and had the handle,
but he said the handle was
because he knew McConnell carried a “stick” or
sword. Court records show
Henderson said when he
saw the victim didn’t have
a weapon, he dropped the
axe handle, the two argued,
he hit the victim with an
open hand across the face
and the two began to wrestle.
Henderson denied strangling the victim, but admitted to using his body to
hold the man down, the
affidavit shows. Henderson
said when he got up, McConnell grabbed the sword
and
Henderson
left.
McDaniel reported he saw
the sword in the front room
of the home while interviewing McConnell.
If found guilty, Henderson could face jail time.

Sawyer, 29, was born
and raised in Texas and has
been creatively writing
since she was five. Her
father was born in Mead,
and her Choctaw heritage
comes from her mother,
according to an article in
the Choctaw tribal newspaper, Biskinik.
Her first experience with
other Native writers and
storytellers was at the Five
Tribes Story Conference in
2010. Tim Tingle and Greg
Rodgers showed her what
it meant to tell the traditional stories of a tribal
people.
“At the same time, they
showed the value of telling
and writing our own stories,” Sawyer said. “I credit
them for lighting that fire.
Because of their work, I
can connect the writing I do
with the tradition of storytelling that is so much a
part of our heritage.”
Sawyer said, with “The
Executions,” she followed
her characters along on
their journey through a
Choctaw execution, whiskey running, a witch-hunt,
and meeting an Irish mailorder bride before finding
an end at a lynching across
the Red River in Texas. The
heroine of the story, Ruth
Ann, concludes her journey
with the discovery of her
place as a young Choctaw
woman in an increasingly
white Indian Territory.
“I’ve written over 50
inspirational flash fiction
(short, short) stories, including ones based on my
Choctaw ancestors and
immediate family,” she
said.

fiction about the Choctaw

The

In 2015, First Peoples
Fund awarded her an Artist
in Business Leadership Fellowship. She writes from
her hometown in Texas,
partnering with her mom,

She said she and her

Editorial Round-up
EPA tightens
ozone standards
Editorial except from Tulsa World, Oct. 6, 2015
The Obama administration has tightened groundlevel ozone standards, making it even harder for Tulsa
to avoid federal air pollution penalties.
The new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
rules set the ozone maximum (measured through a
complex formula involving a three-year average of a
measuring site’s fourth highest reading) at 70 parts per
billion. The old standard was 75 ppb.
Metropolitan Tulsa has struggled with the old ozone
standard for years. After the recently ended peak ozone
season, all five of the Tulsa area’s measuring stations
are within the 70 ppb standard, but the margin is very
narrow. Until this year, the area’s average has never
been below the new threshold. One site’s rolling average stands only 2 ppb shy of violation, and another is
only 3 ppb away. A few still summer days could be
very bad for the community. On Aug. 7, one Tulsa station blew all the way up to 84 ppb.
The potential penalties for violation are significant,
although undefined. If the EPA found Tulsa metropolitan area — which would include all of Tulsa County
and parts of Creek, Osage, Rogers and Wagoner counties — in violation of the standards, we would have to
come up with a plan to bring ozone levels down, which
could include limitations on industrial expansion and
highway building and other penalties.
No one likes air pollution, and we’re sure the people
of the Tulsa area will again do their best to meet the
standards. Ozone is a major component in smog, and it
is dangerous to children, the elderly, people with lung
diseases and others. We’re all familiar with the ozone
alert day pleas to limit driving, lawn-mowing and
gasoline fill-ups when the temperatures are high and
the wind is not.
But we wish we had firmer faith that the EPA’s standards were measuring something other than the number of hot, still days in an Oklahoma summer and that
the new lower standards weren’t driven by an antifossil fuel agenda.

Kick a Little
Last week we got up extra early to
head out to Owasso for Konner’s
first-ever soccer game. This was his
first sporting event ever actually, this
is because he’s never really been
interested in sports. We’ve never
really pushed him into anything he
didn’t want to do because we don’t
want him to be too uncomfortable.
We always ask, but he usually says
no.
So, when we heard about Special
Olympics having soccer we asked if
he was interested. I was a bit surprised at first when he said yes, but
then I was a proud. He was to a point
where he decided on his own that he
wanted to try something new, something athletic, something social and
something that does not include electronics. This may also be because
Kruz is playing this year.
I was still a little concerned a few
weeks ago when we showed up for
the first practice. I knew that this was
the first time Konner had been out of
the house for any athletic activities.
OK, he does things in P.E. class, but
let’s face it, soccer is not the easiest
sport to play. You have to run…a
lot.
When we had arrived to the first
practice I was watching closely and
tried to walk out on the field the first
time he got frustrated. This was when
his coach Barbara Leonard told me
that he is fine and that I could go sit
down. I decided to let her handle it
and watch from afar.

Domestic
violence
affects one in four women. Sadly, Oklahoma is
ranked sixth in the nation
in the number of women
murdered by men. This
epidemic affects people
of all demographics and
communities, extending
from the home to the
workplace.
Statistics like these are
why the state of Oklahoma
and Verizon have participated in raising awareness on these issues year
after year in conjunction
with Domestic Violence
Awareness Month. Oklahoma
recently
dropped from third to
sixth in the national ranking, but domestic violence
is
still
prevalent.
Employers,
including
both the state of Oklahoma
and Verizon, have a very
real stake in protecting
their employees from this
scourge. The Center for
Disease Control and
Prevention estimates the
annual cost of lost productivity in the workplace
from domestic violence at
more than $7 million.
More than 74 percent of
employed battered women
were harassed by their
partner while at work.
The side effects of domestic violence in the workplace alone translate to 8
million days of paid work
lost each year.
Everyone can help
change the current path of
domestic violence in the
workplace by simply discussing domestic violence
among coworkers, friends
and family. Businesses
should be encouraged to
recognize signs of domestic violence, have programs in place or partner
with an advocate agency
for resources.
The governor has
named October “Domestic
Violence
Awareness”
month in Oklahoma, and
Oct. 8 was “Wear Purple
Day” to raise awareness
for domestic violence victims. All Oklahomans
were invited not only to
wear purple on that day,
but to talk about the issue
with friends and coworkers. For Verizon, preventing domestic violence is a
cause that hits close to
Oklahoma Now

home. The company lost
three employees this year
due to domestic violence.
It’s important that we
have resources for victims. That is why Verizon
created its HopeLine program long ago. HopeLine
puts Verizon technology
and its substantial wireless network resources to
work in communities by
collecting no-longer-used
wireless phones and
accessories, from any carrier, and repurposing them
as a safe line for victims.
Since HopeLine was
founded in 2001, Verizon
has distributed more than
190,000 phones with more
than 543 million free
wireless minutes and 298
million texts as a safe
backup to victims of
domestic
violence.
Additionally, Verizon has
awarded more than $29
million in grants to
domestic violence agencies and organizations
throughout the country,
several of which are here
in Oklahoma. For the month of
October, please consider
participating in promoting awareness in your
workplace by donating
used cell phones and
accessories to one of the
multiple HopeLine drives.
Contact your local district
attorney or domestic violence agency to learn
more about resources for
victims or to view a

the program, produced by
Tulsa’s Fox 23 News was
shown.
The pollinator program
is preserving and enhancing habitat for pollinators
on the Center’s 4,000-acre
ranch and farm. The program also provides educational outreach to farmers,
ranchers and the public
through workshops, web
pages and publications
including the groundbreaking guidebook “Native
Plants for Native Pollinators
in Oklahoma.”

Horne was the winner of
the
inaugural
Henry
Bellmon Award in 2010 for
his many years of innovative leadership at the Kerr
Center.
That year he also was
honored with the Quality of
Life Award for Kerr Center
initiatives that have focused
on improving quality of life
for Oklahomans through
projects such as Farm to
School.
Bellmon was a two-term
U.S. senator and two-term
Oklahoma governor. He
was most noted as “a man
of integrity and a nonconformist who did his homework and then voted his
conscience regardless of
party politics or popular
opinion.”
He promoted soil conservation and was instrumental in adoption of the
Clean Water Act. He was
known for his ability to
reach “across the aisle”
and build consensus.
Bellmon “never forgot his
roots” and continued to
raise cattle and farm at his
home near Billings until
his death in 2009.

Buck Test.
EOSC hosts goat buck test event
WILBURTON — Eastern Oklahoma State College, in partnership
with the Oklahoma Cooperative
Extension Service, recently conducted the 2015 Oklahoma Forage-Based
Meat Goat Buck Test. This is the
third year EOSC has hosted the
event. Lead by farm manager Barney
Howard, the objective of the buck
test is to identify individual bucks, as
well as their sires and dams, which
carry genetics expressing economically important traits in commercial
meat goat production. The test also
allows breeders to compare genetics
within their herd to make better management decisions as to herd lines
that will produce profitable progeny
for future herds.
Participants from across the nation
came to the Wilburton campus to
learn how their bucks performed during the three-month test that began
June 26. Weights, FAMACHA scores
and fecal egg counts were taken on a
scheduled basis during the test period. The test concluded with a Field
Day and awards ceremony on Sept.
25. Awards were given to the bucks
with the highest average daily weight
gain, lowest fecal egg count and to
the Top Herdsman Grand Champion
and Reserve Grand Champion.
Kraig Stemme earned Top Herdsman Grand Champion. His top three
goats had the highest average daily
(weight) gain at 0.38 pounds and a
766 average fecal egg count.
Steve Simmons received Top
Herdsman Reserve Grand Champion. His top three goats had an average daily gain of 0.31 pounds and
the lowest average fecal egg count at
49.

Talihina returns to action off bye week, entertains Warner Eagles
By David Seeley
PDN Sports Editor
The Talihina Golden Tigers didn't mind having a week
off last week.
"We were almost in the same position last year, but this
year it was with a different bunch," Talihina coach Kelly Gravitt said. "We felt like the week off helped us get
healed. We had a great week of practice last week. We've
got everyone healthy, and we're now ready for the Warner
Eagles."
The Golden Tigers (4-1 overall, 2-0 in District A-8 play)
will welcome former Panama coach Brandon Ellis and his
Warner Eagles (2-4, 1-1) to Doc Robinson Stadium for a 7
p.m. Thursday district game.
Gravitt said the Eagles will try outsmart the Golden Tigers on formations.
"Coach Ellis does a great job on showing different formations," Gravitt said. "They'll do the same things but out
of different formations. You have to be ready for all the
formations they'll show. We have to be in the right gaps.
It's a district game, so I know he'll have some new things.
We have to be ready for anything they do. We've got to be
sound defensively."
However, Gravitt has always said throughout the years
as long as the Golden Tigers do their thing, more times
than not things will be all right.
"Foremost, it's all about the Golden Tigers," he said.
"We worry about what we do — blocking, tackling, playing sound defense, playing Talihina football. If we do that,
we feel that everything else will take care of itself."
Still, the Golden Tigers will need to those things to make
sure the Eagles don't get confident by hanging around.
"One of the keys will be ball security," Gravitt said. "In
Pirate Profile
the wins we've had, we've played great, sound defense.
We've taken care of the ball. We need to take care of the
ball. We need to have our offensive linemen play well so
[running back] Eric Smith can have a good night running
the ball. We need to try to get them off the field on threeand-outs so that they don't get any momemtum going on
our field. We want them to have to play from behind."

Rivalry will be put on hold for at least two years

One of LeFlore County's

will take place at 7 p.m.
Thursday at John Carter

Poteau football team looks to continue
winning ways after homecoming win
By David Seeley
PDN Sports Editor
The Poteau Pirates made
it a happy homecoming by
routing the Stilwell Indians
61-12 Friday night at Costner Stadium.
"It was extremely amazing we could bring home
a win for the team and the
community," senior lineman Zach Harreld said. "I
was probably more proud
of [senior fullback/linebacker] Antonio [Martinez]
getting homecoming king.
He was really wanting it."
However, it's time for
another opponent, one who
will likely be more formidable — the Broken Bow
Savages at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Costner Stadium.
"Like coach [Forrest
Mazey] says, last week is
in the past," senior lineman
Bryce Holt said. "We don't
need to dwell on it anymore.
So, we're just getting ready
for Broken Bow, practicing
like they're the best team in
the state. We're preparing
like champions."
Holt isn't too concerned
with the shortened week
due to fall break.
"It doesn't worry me
much," he said. "We practice [Monday] like a Monday and Tuesday practice.
We just put them together. It
wasn't just a walk-through
day [Monday]. It was more
of a normal practice."
Thursday night's game
will begin the stretch drive
for the Pirates toward a
District 4A-4 title and what
all hope is Poteau's second
shot at a state title in three
years.
"A district championship would be very nice,"
Harreld said. "We're practicing really hard. I feel
like if we keep going and
keep progressing each
week, we'll do excellent.
If we just keep giving [senior running back] Roger
[Barcheers] more yards,
we'll do fine. Our linemen
are getting better. Our running backs are getting better. [Junior quarterback]
Ben [Klutts] is doing excellent. Our receivers are
doing great. Our defense
is doing fantastic. We just
need to keep it up."

night's freshmen game
against Broken Bow was

Arkoma doesn't want repeat of
last year's game with Haileyville
By David Seeley
PDN Sports Editor
When the Arkoma Mustangs faced the
Haileyville Warriors in Week 7's District
B-4 game last year at Mustang Field, the
winless Warriors knocked off the Mustangs
62-36.
The same two teams will meet Thursday
night when the Mustangs (3-3 overall, 2-3
in district play) travel to Haileyville to meet
the Warriors (0-6, 0-5) at 7:30 p.m.
"They are not as bad as their record
shows," Arkoma coach Mark Weatherton
said. "I told the kids they can beat us. They
just won one game last year, and that was
against us. That alone should give them
some confidence against us."
The Mustangs snapped a three-game
district losing streak last week at Mustang
Field, and did so somewhat dramatically as
they outlasted the Porum Panthers 46-44.
"I was very pleased," Weatherton said.
"It was a great game to watch, but I'm not
sure about us coaches. I had a fan tell me
after the game that was one of his favorite
games to watch. The game was back and
forth. It came down to the wire. The best
thing was we came out on the winning end
to make it that more fun."
Going into last week's game, Weatherton believed the Mustangs needed to win
out to be a playoff team, and he still thinks
that's true come Thursday night.
"That's what I told the kids," he said.
"We can control our own destiny. If we win
out, we'll make the playoffs. if we don't, we
probably won't make the playoffs. As long
as we win, we're in control, so every game
is like a playoff game now."
The Warriors have been their own worst
enemy, according to Weatherton — which
is why they scare the veteran Arkoma
coach.
"They came into last year's game here
with the same record, and walked out with
their only win of the season," he said. "Offensively, they're very good. They've just
turned the ball over in the red zone. They've
moved the ball up and down the field on every one they've played. That will get your
attention. They're very scary offensively.
They run a read-option that their quarterback runs very well. He throws a little."
So, the Mustangs will need a strong
game on both sides of the ball to win their
second straight District B-4 contest come
Thursday night.
(See ARKOMA, Page 7)
pect a good physical game.
Last year was one of the
few times it was lopsided.
We hope to make a game
this year. The kids are excited, healthy and looking
forward to it."
"We're not going to play
for the next two years, so it
makes this game even bigger," new Panama coach
Jeff Broyles said. "We're
not only going for bragging rights for 365 days
but for two years, so that's
huge."
However, not only is
Thursday night's contest a
rivalry game, but it's a big
one in District 2A-6.
"It's a huge district
game for us," Broyles said.
"We're 1-1 in the district,
and we need to be 2-1 after
Thursday night."
"It's always the same
thing with Panama and
Pocola," Lang said. "In the
year's we've made the playoffs, we've beaten Panama.
In the the years we don't
make the playoffs, Panama
beats us. It's the same. We
have to beat Panama, bottom line. It's been a few
years since we've beaten
them. Our kids know
what's at stake."
Both teams enter Thursday night's game from
opposite ends of the continuum. The Razorbacks
(5-1 overall, 1-1 in district
play), ranked 16th in Class
2A, are coming off a 4714 rout of Foyil one week
after being routed 46-6 by
No. 15 Hartshorne.

HOWE DO YOU LIKE THE NEW LOOK? — When softball fans went to games
at Howe this fall season, they noticed a new look to the field that came about
thanks to a grant from the Oklahoma Rehabilitation Corp. A new outfield fence,
above, was built, while both dugouts also got facelifts by having a new fence/railing
built for the players, like the Lady Lions, left, are leaning upon during their home
game with Whitesboro as well as a new outside covering. Also, the field itself and
the surrounding grounds were improved. Coach Mike Womack and a team of
volunteers built the fence and handled the field and dugout restorations. A storage
building was donated by Ron’s Discount Lumber.

Quite a season on the diamonds this fall, with a bit of history also
It’s hard to believe that the 2015 fast-pitch softball and
fall baseball seasons have come to a close, but what a
season it was.
As far as softball is concerned, LeFlore County had
three softball teams — Wister, Heavener and Pocola —
make state, with the Lady Wildcats playing for the Class
A state title. Also, congratulations to the Red Oak Lady
Eagles for winning the Class B State Tournament. While
they didn’t get to the Class 4A State Tournament, the Poteau Lady Pirates played for a shot at making state after
sweeping Muldrow to win the district title — a scenario
that some thought would not have materialized as it did.
Baseball wise, Wister’s boys got to the Class A state
semifinals, while the Red Oak Eagles played for the Class
B state title.
Yours truly enjoyed every minute of it, especially getting to be a part of history as Heavener senior shortstop
Jodie Hill broke the Oklahoma high school state stolen
base record, and ending up as second all-time in the state
in hits and the nation in stolen bases.
Let me just say thanks to everyone who helped me
give the locals the best coverage possible — coaches,
scorebook keepers, fans, Facebook and GameChanger.
Through these methods, it made it possible for me to report what the local players and teams did on the field this
fall. I’m truly indebted to you all, for without your help I
couldn’t have given the coverage our players and teams
deserve. Thank you.
College Signings
Now that the seasons on the diamond are over for this
fall, it means that college signings may be happening in
the very near future.
If coaches or players or their families will keep me in
the loop to any signings — and by that I mean giving me
at least 24 to 48 hours notice of a signing happening and
where it’s taking place — I likely will get to be in attendance to make that possible. You can make contact with
me at (918) 647-3188 [office], (580) 341-8419 [cell], at
[email protected] [e-mail] or on Facebook.
Hitters of the Week
Softball — Wister Lady Wildcats, Heavener Lady
Wolves, Pocola Lady Indians. This is my way of saying
congratulations on making state to put a capper on a very
successful season for all of you.
Baseball — Wister Wildcats. The same can be said
for the ’Cats. Congratulations on a banner season, which
ended by making the Final Four of Class A this fall.
Pitchers of the Week
Softball — Hunter Gibson, Wister; Makenzie Wilson, Heavener; Sammie Kuhns, Poclola. All three ladies got to stand inside the pitching circle at Hall of Fame
Stadium in Oklahoma City this past week at their respec-

tive state tournaments. There were only eight in each class
who could make that claim, and among those were three
from LeFlore County.
Baseball — Scotty Gibson and Cash Balentine, Wister. Gibson threw a two-hitter against Byng in Thursday’s
Class A State Tournament quarterfinals with 10 strikeouts.
Balentine, despite coming out on the short end in Friday’s
state semifinals against Binger-Oney, fanned nine batters
and threw a four-hitter.
In Closing
With today’s column, this wraps up Diamond Notes
for the 2015 fast-pitch softball and fall baseball seasons.
I’ll be back in March 2016 for the spring seasons on
baseball and slow-pitch softball.
Until then, may your pitches be strikes and hits be
homers. See you all next spring.

GREENWOOD, Ark.
— Heavener cross country runner Barbara Johnson
won the Greenwood [Ark.]
Invitational on Saturday.
She won the 5k race in a
time of 21:59.
As a team, the Lady
Wolves were runners-up
with 43 points.
Besides
Johnson’s
championship run, another
teammate, Iris Martinez,
also made the top five as
she was second to Johnson
with a time of 23:29.
Three other runners
made the top 15. Ludovica
Casolo was 11th (28:33),
Brenda Macias was 14th
(30:21) and Brianna Livesay 15th (31:19).
Two Wolves ran in the
boys division, and each
made the top 10. Nathan
Binns was sixth (19:45)
and Maliek Lira was eighth
(20:42).
The Heavener runners
will begin their postseason
part of the fall campaign as
they will try to earn state
berths at Saturday’s Class
3A Regional Meet at Henryetta. The Lady Wolves
will run at noon, followed
by the Wolves at 12:45
p.m. The top five teams
will qualify all their runners for state. There also
will be state berths available for the top seven individuals who are not members of the top five teams
who qualify.

"We've got to make stops," Weatherton
said.
"Defensively, we have to be disciplined.
If we aren't careful, their quarterback can
go 30 yards on you. We have to be balanced on offense. We have to run and
throw on them. We can't get locked into
just one thing."

The Poteau Daily News is your best source
for local sports coverage in LeFlore County
For the Bokoshe Tigers football team,
its trip Thursday night to meet Class C’s
eighth-ranked Thackerville Wildcats hopefully won’t feel like a scene from the epic
television show “M*A*S*H.”
When the Tigers (0-6 overall, 0-4 in District C-4 play) play the Wildcats (5-1, 4-0)
at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Thackerville’s
Wildcat Stadium, the Tigers just hope that
none of their players get hurt — or it could
be a long night.
“We had nine at practice Monday, and
that’s probably what we’ll travel with,”
first-year Bokoshe coach C.J. Burks said.
“We’ll get Haden Stroud back but Jacob
Summers will still be out this week. I’m
more worried about going all that way and
not being able to finish the game, because
if we get a couple hurt we’re going to be
done.”
The ’Cats have suffered only one defeat, that coming in Week 2 in a 50-14 loss
to No. 4 Grandfield. Since starting District
C-4 play, they’re undefeated and have outscored their district foes 151-30.
“We’re going to have our hands full,”
Burks said. “Everything worries me about
them. I think they’ll probably try to do
both on us, run and pass.”
Not only will the Tigers need to stay
healthy, but they will need to play as close
to an error-free game as possible.
“No. 1, we have to have no injuries,”
Burks said. “No. 2, we can’t have turnovers. No. 3, we have to capitalize on their
turnovers and take the ball down the field
and score.”

RIVALRY
"We played very well," Broyles said.
"Coming back after that tough loss [Hartshorne], you're always worried about that
[how the players will respond]. We didn't
have many penalties. We didn't have any
turnovers. That was big for us."
On the other hand, the Indians (2-4,
0-2) are coming off a 72-36 road loss
against Liberty, and have lost three of
their last four games.
"We have a chance to prove something,"
Lang said. "There's still some motivation
there. Liberty took it to us, and the kids
can't wait to get back out there Thursday
night to prove that we're better than that
[what was shown against Liberty]."
The Indians have been changing things
up on both sides of the ball, and the unfamiliarity of what they may do has the
Hogs concerned.
"They're going to sling it around,"
Broyles said. "That scares me a little bit
because we haven't seen a team who'll
do that since [Sallisaw] Central. They've
been experimenting with different looks
offensively and defensively, so we're not
sure what we're going to get. Those things
scare me more."
The Indians know who they need to
keep in check when facing Panama. It's
just a matter of doing it.
"Defensively, we know what they've
got," Lang said. "We have to contain their
quarterback [Andy Burris] and their tailback [Donald Lotchleas]. If we contain
those two, we'll have a chance. We have
to make them throw the ball."
Broyles said the Razorbacks need to
play the way they did against Foyil to
give themselves the best chance of a road
win Thursday night.
"We need to play fast and aggressive,"
he said. "We need to take care of the football. We need to play smart."
The more physical the game, the better
the Indians will be — at least in Lang's
opinion.
"We have to match their physicality,"
he said. "We have to be physical. If we
can match their physicality, I think we can
move the ball against them. We have to be
able to run the ball when we want."

Last
Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2015
You will be surprised by the
opportunities that come your
way if you exude an optimistic
attitude. Look at each challenge
as a test of your resilience. Your
upbeat demeanor will attract
allies who will be glad to help
you reach your goals.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Be a participant, not an
observer. Put your networking
skills into action whenever
possible, and present what you
have to offer. Participation will
pave the way for valuable
connections and information.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Someone you depend on will
let you down. Don't blame
yourself or be bitter; just be
more cautious in the future.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
-- You will be a magnet in the
social scene. Make the most of
your
popularity.
New
relationships will develop with
people from diverse backgrounds.
Share honestly with others and
excel on all fronts.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Business matters will be easier
to handle than personal issues.
Emotional turmoil will cloud
your
judgment.
Avoid
confrontations, and direct your
energy
toward
obtaining
financial security.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- It's important to bolster your
personal relationships. Strive to
be a better partner, friend,
colleague or confidant. A family
member will seek your opinion
on a private matter.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Keep your plans under wraps
for now. Promises made to you
will not be kept. A business or
pleasure trip will bring
unforeseen benefits. Romance is
on the rise.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- Joint ventures and other
collaborations will be successful.
It will be the perfect time to take
your romantic relationship to the
next level. An unexpected
expense will make a dent in
your savings.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- You will have to do some
digging to get to the bottom of a
personal dilemma. Don't assume
to know what anyone else wants.
Resolution is possible once the
facts are clear.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Minor problems at home will
result in creative inspiration.
You can make substantial
improvements, but don't get too
carried away or your budget will
suffer and your entertainment
fund will be limited.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Deal with small matters that
seem to be constantly dragging
you down. Once your schedule
is clear, you will be able to find
time for friends and recreational
activities.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- Love and romance should be
high on your agenda. Your
appeal will bring favorable
recognition and compliments.
Make the most of your popularity
by accepting any invitations you
receive.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Don't miss out, because your
stress level and past regrets are
keeping you from enjoying your
success. Material gains will be
yours if you take advantage of a
tip that comes your way.

Sense & Sensitivity
DEAR HARRIETTE: My
boyfriend has thrown himself into
supporting Bernie Sanders for
this upcoming election. He distributes flyers, makes signs and
gives out buttons and pins to
practically everyone he sees. I try
to redirect political conversations
away from me because though I
support Bernie Sanders as well, I
do not want our conversations for
the next year to revolve around
politics. Is there any way to draw
the line about politics around me,
or is that too controlling to propose?
– Ticked Off by Politics,
St. Louis
DEAR TICKED OFF BY
POLITICS: As much as you dislike your boyfriend's actions, I
have to tell you that I think it is
refreshing that a young couple is
even talking about politics at all.
Yes, you should figure out how to
manage your conversations so
that they can be varied, but do
your best to be grateful for the
fact that you are in a relationship
with someone who cares about
the political process and wants to
have a positive impact based
upon what he believes. That you
two seem to like the same candidate only makes it easier.
Tell your boyfriend that you do
not want politics to consume
every moment you are together.
Ask him to try hard to maintain a
personal relationship with you
that extends beyond the presidential election. You may need to
remind him at times.
DEAR HARRIETTE: After
scrolling through Craigslist looking for a roommate, I found a girl
who didn't seem like a dangerous
thief to move in and split the rent
with. Surprisingly, we get along
fairly well and do share a good
By
Harriette Cole
laugh sometimes. However, her
tendency to be messy and touch
my belongings drives me crazy. I
am probably a little possessive,
but I hate when she plugs her
phone into my charger or uses my
tissues. I assumed we would be
moving into a more rigid situation, and she feels comfortable
leaning on my bed or using some
of my hand lotion. In order to
avoid confrontation, I have adopted more passive-aggressive tendencies. If I see her phone in my
charger, I unplug it and move it
back to "her" side of the apartment. If she decides to start talking to me when I am reading or
have headphones on, I tensely
listen to her. She seems to think
we are sisters or BFFs, and I do
not know how to draw any boundaries. I tried to have a list of rules,
and she broke them in front of me
and laughed it off as she stole my
hand lotion. I am not sure if I am
being too uptight or if this girl
needs to get pushed back. I do not
even go near her belongings, let
alone act how she does with my
stuff. What should I do?
– Passive Aggressive and
Possessive, Dallas
DEAR
PA S S I V E
AGGRESSIVE
AND
POSSESSIVE: You have to stand
up for yourself. Revisit the written list of rules. Tell your roommate that you think it's important
for both of you to agree to living
conditions that are comfortable
on both sides. Tell her you do not
want her to use your belongings.
Define shared things and responsibilities. Put your personal
things in your personal space
whenever possible so that they
are not in her purview.

30 cents Won’t Buy You A
Cup of Coffee These Days,
But It Could Pay
For Your Paper...
Consider this. When you subscribe to the newspaper for
a year, your newspaper costs less than 30¢ per issue!
Rates for LeFlore County residents are $75 for a 12-month subscription, which
breaks down to 30 cents per paper; $42 for six months which breaks down to
32 cents per paper, and $25 for three months which breaks down to 34 cents
per paper. Any of these is a huge savings over the 75¢ newsstand price
or $1.25 weekend price. (And think of the convenience of receiving 5 papers
each week without going to a newsstand.)
Take advantage of these special prices
now!
And that doesn’t even count the money-saving offers and
coupons included in the newspaper.
Their value can more than pay for your subscription.
