An audit report presented to
the Coalgate City Council on
January 30 shows Coalgate to
be in good financial standing.
The audit was conducted for
the fiscal year ending June 30,
2011, by William K. Gauer,
CPA, of Watonga, Oklahoma.
The report shows the
city having net assets of
$12,979,755, which reflects a
3.3% ($415,666) increase over
2010.
The largest portion of the
city’s assets ($9,348,306 or
72%) reflects its investments
in capital assets such as land,
buildings, equipment and
infrastructure (roads, bridges,
utilities and other immovable
assets), less any related debt
used to acquire those assets that
is still outstanding.
The assets are used to provide
services to residents and
therefore are not available for
future spending. Although the
city’s investment in its capital
assets is reported net of related
debt, the resources needed to
repay this debt must be provided
from other sources, since the
capital assets themselves cannot
be used to liquidate these
liabilities.
In 2010, there were restrictions
on $1,000,395 or 7.96%;
however, as of June 30, 2011, the
city had increased the restricted
net assets to $1,016,823 but
lowering the percentage to
7.83% in resources that were
subject to external restrictions
on how they could be used. This
leaves unrestricted net assets of
$2,614,626 or 20% that may be
used to meet the city’s ongoing
obligations to residents and
creditors, if needed. This is a
$40,121 decrease from 2010.
In 2011, most of the city’s
general service programs were
supported by General Revenues
that represent $2,281,236 or
just over 79% of total citywide
revenues.
In
2010, $2,391,021 of
total citywide revenues was
made available from general
service programs. There is a
$109,785 decrease from 2010
to 2011. Most of the decrease
seen in General Revenues for
2011 was from a decrease in
Operating and Capital Grants,
$345,870 in 2010 to $44,790
that was available in 2011, and a
decrease in Oil and Gas activity
to $188,116 citywide.
Charges for service revenues
in 2011 represent $1,126,059
or 39.1% of total revenues and
are used to support programs
related to intergovernmental
indirect services, public safety,
environmental
services,
public works, recreation and
community services, and
community
development
services. This is an increase
from 2010 when $982,584 was
available.

Over the years we have run many wedding announcements, but
the most enjoyable one I have ever read appeared in the Chicago
Tribune. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Society Wedding: A Swinging Social Soiree’
For too long, Berwyn-Cicero society has complained of receiving
all too little attention vis-à-vis the North Shore, Barrington Hills, Oak
Brook Flossmoor, and other local habitats of high society. We want to
do something about this.
The Berwyn-Cicero (B-C, as it is known in fashionable circles) social
season opened last weekend with the celebrated nuptials of Mildred
Annalee Kelton to Albert Michael Mortone at two o’clock in the
afternoon on Saturday, June 2, 1979, in the First Presbyterian Church,
River Forest.
Miss Kelton, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Kelton of Berwyn, was
lovely in a traditional white wedding gown. Her maid of honor, Phyllis
Simmons of Cicero, wore a yellow lace gown, with her other attendants
in blue lace. The groom, best man and ushers were resplendent in
powder-blue tuxedos from Henry’s Formal Wear, Cicero.
Miss Kelton, eighteen, attended Wheeling High School, Wheeling,
Illinois, departing prior to completion of degree requirement, and is
now, hopefully, between jobs. Mr. Mortone, twenty-five, said that he
is legitimately unemployed, receiving compensation from the State of
Illinois.
Miss Kelton was given away in holy matrimony by her father in a
traditional ceremony, highlighted by usher Frank Bascom of Cicero
yelling, “Yahoo!” as the couple exchanged rings. The remaining ten
minutes of the ceremony were omitted.
The couple departed the church in a shower of rice in a late-model
Chevrolet and were driven to a reception at the respected Berwyn Elks
Club.
About one hundred of B-C’s smart set attended the reception, dancing
to the tuneful tunes of an unnamed guitar-accordion-drum band playing
pleasurable polkas. Club manager and master of B-C soirees, George
Lundgren, chose tablecloths, but no centerpieces, for simple elegance.
Lundgren sold whisky, gin, and setups were available. He said the
band broke for dinner at 4:30 pm as guests dined buffet style on roast
beef, broasted chicken, mostaccioli, macaroni salad, and various Jell-O
molds.
After dinner, ethnic dancing continued, and at about eight o’clock
the traditional fighting commenced. While dancing with the groom’s
sister, Simone, Mr. Bascom observed his wife touch dancing with the
groom’s fifteen-year-old brother, Marty.
Mr. Bascom subjected Marty Mortone to physical abuse and
threatened severe violence. A check of the social register maintained
by the Berwyn Department of Public Safety indicates our Mr. Bascom
is a man of his word.
The Mortones are a close, old-line Cicero family, and brother Jerome
Mortone laid Mr. Bascom upside the head with a full champagne bottle,
according to other prominent guests. At this point several others joined
in the fisticuffs, including the groom.
So many, in fact, that the uniformed Berwyn policeman on duty at
the wedding reception instructed Mr. Lundgren to call for assistance.
Local authorities say it is “customary” to have a policeman at Berwyn
wedding receptions, where, “fights are quite common.”
Two local gendarmes, respondent in dark-blue uniforms, arrived to
join the festivities. “The entire place was up for grabs,” said one.
Social-scene observers note that this was a truly superlative affair,
attended, finally by ;the entire Saturday night shift of the Berwyn Police
Department – the measure of any social occasion.
Brandishing dark, solid-wood nightsticks (absolutely smashing
accessories with the blue uniforms), police waded into the boisterous
gathering of B-C society.
“I couldn’t believe what I saw,” said one veteran policeman. “Glasses,
champagne bottles and beer bottles were flying. Everyone in the place
was fighting – like a Western movie barroom brawl. They didn’t even
pay any attention to us.” (For the record – the bride and groom and their
parents said it was a nice reception ruined by police intervention.)
“When we stepped between people fighting, they turned on us,”
another policeman said. “It was frightening: a dozen of us against one
hundred of them. They’d throw us to the floor, stomp us, and go back
to fighting. We couldn’t arrest anybody; it was all we could do to hold
on to our guns and nightsticks. They threw most of us back down the
stairs.
“The bride was getting in her licks, too. Her wedding gown was torn
to pieces. The band members had extended their microphone stands
as far as they would go and were swinging them like baseball bats to
protect themselves from the guests,” he said.
Police from a local park district, Cicero, and other surrounding
communities were called in, about forty- to forty-five officers in all.
“We restored order, announced that the reception was over, and told the
guests to disperse,” a police spokesman said.
The crowd went outside, where fighting continued. Guns were drawn
when one guest flattened two policeman with a table leg.
Passersby reportedly joined in the fighting.
The pugilism continued inside the two paddy wagons and in front of
the Berwyn Police Department, where guests not yet under arrest met
the police vehicles’ arrival.
More than one dozen were hospitalized. Only twelve were arrested,
according to authorities, “because we wanted to get out of there while
we were still alive.”
A local judge, resplendent in floor-length black robes, set bonds at
$5,000 to $15,000 each.
Neck braces and arm slings are the height of fashion this week at the
Berwyn Police Department.
A good time was had by all, at what is being called the most exciting
B-C social event since last year’s Southwest Cook County Chapter 205
of the National Association of Women in Construction’s Candlelight
Bowl.
The couple is at home in Cicero following the groom’s release from
Cook County Jail Tuesday evening. Honeymoon plans have been
postponed ending trial.
We wish the young couple all the best – in court, at future B-C
welterweight wedding receptions, and in returning those armless,
blood-spattered tuxedos to Henry’s Formal Wear. We anxiously await
the wedding photos.
—CC—
And speaking of marriage, here is my favorite story of the week . . .
Recently engaged, Dan Samolla asked his Aunt Jane, who has been married to his Uncle Bob for 34
years, what she thought was the key to the success of their long union. She began, “We try not to argue,
and we respect each other’s privacy –
At this point Uncle Bob interrupted. “She works days and I work nights,” he said.

Last of all, if you are having problems in your marriage, maybe you need to buy a bird. The chirping
may help you and your wife get along better.
The birds have been a blessing to the folks living in Lancaster, California.
Crime is down in this city on the desert fringe of Los Angeles County, and Mayor R. Rex Parris is sure

he knows one reason: It’s the chirping.
“Do you feel that?” he asked as he inched forward in his cowboy
boots on a city sidewalk, anticipating a calming sensation from the faint
sound of birds above his head.
The chirps subconsciously discourage criminality, Mr. Parris says:
“Everybody is now in a better mood, a better place.”
Those chirps aren’t from here. The mayor bought them in recordings
from England, and for the past 10 months he has had his city play them
over 70 speakers along a half mile of Lancaster Boulevard, blended
with mellow synthesizer tones, five hours a day.
His claim: The bird song and music calm citizens by fine-tuning brain
chemicals.
Minor crimes in Lancaster fell about 15% last year, compared with
2010, says the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, this city
being part of the county, and serious crimes fell about 6%.
“We’re not seeing that impulse-control crime,” Mr. Parris says. “It
has just been astonishing to us how the community has changed as a
result of a one-half-mile stretch.”
Some people are skeptical. Laura Dugan, an associate professor of
criminology and criminal justice at the University of Maryland, says
public officials often claim their initiatives reduce crime, but without
sufficient evidence for their assertions.
“There’s also a drop in crime in every other major and minor city, so
just because somebody tries something and you see a drop in crime, it
doesn’t mean it necessarily caused it,” Ms. Dugan says of Lancaster’s
piped-in birds.
Lancaster was already seeing a multiyear decline in crime before
the birds, says Robert Jonsen, captain of the Lancaster Sheriff Station.
That’s because city officials worked more closely with police, increased
public engagement and improved Lancaster Boulevard, he says.
But the boulevard bird song is an important element in the effort
to decrease crime, Mr. Jonsen says. It has also carried over into other
parts of town, he says, as visitors bring the mellow vibes back to their
neighborhoods.
Many locals believe in the birds. Maria Elena Grado, who runs the
Lemon Leaf Café near speakers playing the bird music, says the area
was “crime infested” when she opened in 2006. The birds, and a broader
upgrade of the area, have had a positive impact on the demeanor of
customers, she says.
“Everybody laughed at the idea, but people don’t even realize the
things that make them tick.”
Mr. Parris, who is also a practicing personal-injury attorney, says he
got interested in ways to affect brain chemistry because he wanted to be
more persuasive in court. “Once you recognize that all of this happens
because of chemicals in the brain, you look at how do we affect those
chemicals.”
Mr. Parris saw a way to test tweets after he became the part-time
mayor of Lancaster in 2008. The city has about 157,000 residents.
Frank Zappa and Judy Garland both lived there at some point.
Mr. Parris first recorded birds in his backyard, but decided in early
2011 to spend his own money commissioning a composition from
Julian Treasure, a sound consultant based near London. Mr. Treasure
used recorded chirps from Europe, blended with water sounds and what
he calls “uplifting musical figures.”
Mr. Treasure’s firm, The Sound Agency Ltd., previously had installed
bird sounds in bathrooms of some BP PLC gas stations in Europe.
A BP spokesman says the bird sounds resulted in compliments from
customers.
Bird sounds can reduce cortisol and adrenaline, which are produced
by the human body in response to stress, Mr. Treasure says. Ever since
early man had to worry about forest predators, he says, people found
singing birds reassuring. “We’ve learned over hundreds of thousands of
years it’s when they stop that we need to worry,” he says.
It is plausible that Lancaster’s bird sounds would have their claimed
effect on crime, says Daniel Levitin, a neuroscientist at McGill
University, as long as an individual genuinely found that sound pleasing
and songbirds were used. “The obvious thing is it can’t be the sound of
vultures ripping apart a bison or anything,” he says.
Mr. Treasure says he isn’t certain what birds are on the recordings.
Ben Sheldon, a University of Oxford field-ornithology professor, upon
listening to a segment, says he detects male songbirds such as the robin,
wren, blackbird and perhaps a bit of the Great Tit. Their message to
females, he says: “I’m here, are you unattached?”
There may be precedent. Doha, Qatar’s Aspire Park serenades
visitors with recorded birds. Walid Bachir, section head-public domain
at the park’s management agency, thinks the sounds do help modulate
behavior. “Otherwise, we might have more fighting between visiting
groups or kids,” he says.
Mind control isn’t just for the birds. The London Underground plays
classical music in some stations to create a more crime-free environment,
says a spokeswoman for transport for London. U.K.-based Compound
Security Systems Ltd. sells a device to repel loitering teens with a
frequency adults can’t hear. It also appears not to bother dogs.
Greg Budney, audio curator at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s
Macaulay Library, a renowned collection of recorded bird song, says
he has had requests to use the collection for medical purposes but hasn’t
heard of bird song being used to fight crime.
Neither has Charles Sczuroski, a senior trainer at the National Crime
Prevention Council. But broadcasting bird song meshes with the concept
of crime prevention through environmental design, he says, in which
cities might improve lighting or play cheerful music in public spaces. If
chirping influences ne’er-do-wells, “It really does not surprise me.”

Letter to the Editor
Water and Water Matters
Martin Luther King said,
“Our lives begin to end the day
we become silent about things
that matter”.
To me WATER MATTERS.
We just have to think back about
2 months to realize how water
matters in Atoka and Coal County. Ponds were dry, the Boggys
and their tributaries were very
low. There were hundreds of
livestock at the sale barn each
sale day because the ranchers
didn’t have water. The grass
was gone and there was a very
small hay crop. Hay was selling
at outrageous prices. Most of it
wasn’t even good hay that had
much nutritional value.
The National weather service
says that drought is expected to
persist. The weather service is
predicting a return of dry weather and the ongoing La Nina conditions for 2012.
For years Texas has been trying to buy or take water from
Southeast Oklahoma. We have
made new laws and have had
numerous lawsuits over selling
water to Texas. They have been
defeated in the Court but keep
coming back. Approximately 30
years ago Arkansas, Louisiana,
Texas and Oklahoma signed an
agreement called the Red River compact. In this document,
these four states established
guidelines for the use of water
from the Red River. The water
that flows into the Red River
from Oklahoma helps dilute
particles and pollutants. If this
water is prevented from entering
the Red River, municipalities
downstream could incur higher
water treatment costs, and farmers could find the water too salty
to use for irrigation. If this occurs, Oklahoma could be sued to
cover this increased cost.
On June 10, 2010 the Oklahoma Water Resources Board
voted to sell storage rights for
Sardis Lake to Oklahoma City
to satisfy the debt owed to the
Government for building the
lake. The Oklahoma Water Re-
sources Board also assumed it
had the right to permit almost
90% of Sardis Lake yield to
Oklahoma City without regard
to tribal claims.
The OWRB voted December
13, 2011, to allow their lawyers
to sue the citizens of Southeast
Oklahoma to adjudicate all water rights, not just permitted
rights but constitutional riparian
rights, in the Kiamichi, Clear
Boggy, Muddy Boggy, North
Boggy and McGee Creek Basins and all their tributaries.
They claim this action is necessary because of the lawsuit filed
by the Choctaw and Chickasaw
tribes. This lawsuit will force
landowners in these basins to
pay, not only to defend their
water rights, but for the legal
costs the state will incur in suing them. If landowners refuse
to participate in this litigation
they may risk losing heir riparian water rights.
As citizens of Oklahoma
and Southeast Oklahoma we
should all be concerned about
WATER MATTERS. We must
pay attention to water policy.
Some of the leadership in the
legislature has said that Water
Legislation is one of the most
important issues on the agenda
this year.
Please go back and read the
article in your local paper last
week on OUR SHARED WATER FUTURE. WHAT EVERY OKLAHOMAN NEEDS
TO KNOW, by the Choctaw
and Chickasaw Nations.
We must tell all the elected
persons that represent us that
WATER MATTERS.
S)Alene Arnold
Letter to the
Editor
February 6, 2012
A question for all landowners: Water – Whose is it?
This subject has been at the center of controversy for the past
several years. When asked about the continued shortsighted efforts to sell water to Texas or give control to Oklahoma City, many
people in southeastern Oklahoma will say. The Indians are gonna
take care of it.
Recently, (Dec. 13, 2011) the State of Oklahoma, through the
OWRB (Oklahoma Water Resources Board), voted to authorize
the State Attorney General to file steam adjudication lawsuits
against landowners in Atoka, Coal and other southeastern Oklahoma counties to determine, in the courts, the ownership and right
to use all water in the streams on your land, with the legal costs
of such action being passed on to you – the landowner. Should a
property owner decide not to fight such action, your water rights
maybe granted to other parties.
What’s wrong with this picture? Whatever happened to our
riparian rights?
It’s time to stand up and stand together.
In the interest of future generations, I remain

Martharene Bruner Puts Away Her Dust Cloth
Everyone knows Martharene Bruner. She has been a fixture around Lehigh
and Coalgate for almost 85 years — and she has undoubtedly done more
housecleaning the past half-century than anyone in Coal County.
On February 2, Martharene was guest of honor at a retirement luncheon hosted
by Dr. R.J. Helton and his staff at Helton Rural Health Clinic where Martharene
dusted, swept, mopped and tidied up the past 17 years. Martharene has decided
it’s time to put away the dust cloths, brooms and mops and retire.
To say that Martharene will now be a lady of leisure would be an exaggeration.
Rocking away the days is just not Martharene’s style. She’s enjoying being at
home, she said, “But I miss going to work every day and I still catch myself
watching the clock to see if it’s time to go. I’m staying home right now doing
things I didn’t get to do while I was working. Picking up and cleaning up around
here.”
Old habits are hard to break. In addition to working for Dr. Helton, Martharene
worked 40 years for Wanda Belletini and Margaret Hill. “I also worked for Dr.
Byrd about 30 years when I was working for Wanda,” she said. Add a few other
people along the way, and that’s a lot of cleaning!
Martharene will celebrate her 85th birthday on March 16, but she’s still in good
health and has more energy than a lot of 40-year-old people. She has had cataract
surgery and “on my second pacemaker,” and she’s still going strong.
Martharene has lived in Lehigh all her life and graduated Booker T. Washington
High School in Coalgate in 1946. Her husband, Chauncy Bruner, passed away in
2003. She has one son, Jerry Bates, from a previous marriage, and five stepchildren.
She is an active member of Shiloh Baptist Church in Lehigh.
A glimpse of MartharenE’s life. The photo on the left is Martharene’s 1946 graduation picture at Booker T. Washington High School. The lady with
Martharene and the birthday cake is Linda Heinz.

down as follows:
Public safety 34%, enterprise
funds 36%, general government
20%, streets 7%, parks and

The city’s general government
fund is still being affected by
fluctuating revenues as a result
of local activity from oil and
gas leases and the increased
sales tax generated directly as
well as indirectly by the oil
and gas industry. These new
revenues, when available, are
being treated as a windfall and
are being used for investment
and capital improvements.
Sales tax revenues started to stabilize in 2011. Citizens
continue to shop locally as
a result of high fuel prices,
and business activity related
to drilling operations in the
immediate area has increased.

Coal County election Board.
“Anyone who is eligible and in line at the polling place at 7:00
p.m. on Election Day will be entitled to vote,” Salmon added.
The following precinct polling places will be open on February
14:
#3 Centrahoma Community Building, #4 Cottonwood Baptist
Church, #5 Coalgate VFW Post, #6 Valley Insurance Building (back
entrance), #7 Coalgate Public Library, #9 Clarita Community Building, #10 Olney School Lunchroom, and #11 Lehigh Fire Department.
Proof of Identity Required to Vote
Oklahoma law now requires all registered voters to show proof
of identity before voting. You may show your valid driver’s license,
state identification card, or the voter identification card sent to you
by the County Election Board.
If you do not have proof of identity with you, you may vote only
by provisional ballot.
For more information on the proof of identity law, visit www.
elections.ok.gov.
Salmon urges voters to take their voter identification cards with
them to the polls. “Your voter identification card can help precinct
officials find your name in the precinct registry, and it may also help
them resolve the problem if you are not listed in the precinct registry,” she said.
Voters whose names are not found in the precinct registry, or a
voter who disagrees with the information shown in the registry, may
need to cast a provisional ballot. A provisional ballot is sealed in a
special envelope and counted after Election Day if the voter’s information can be verified by the County Election Board.
Help Available for Physically Incapacitated Voters
Salmon said state law permits registered voters who will be unable to go to the polls because they became incapacitated after 5:00
p.m. Tuesday, February 7, to vote on an emergency basis.
“Physical incapacitation” includes a variety of conditions – injury, illness, childbirth – that prevent a person from voting in person
at the polls on Election Day.
If you think that you or someone you know fits into this category,
contact the Coal County Election Board office at 580-927-3456 as
soon as possible for more information.
Girl Scout Cookie Sales Begin

Choctaw Nation has three small
businesses in the Industrial
Park and continues to add jobs.
Construction related to the oil
and gas industry increased,
which aids in the diversity of
jobs available and opportunities
for Coalgate citizens.
In other matters, the Council
granted a variance and building
permit to Eddie and Kealy
Merritt for a new mobile home
at 509 E. Virgil; an occupation
license to John and Alysha
Ladner for Rock Star Video and
Pure Nutrition at 33 N. Main;
and an occupation license to
Tommy Griffin for Tommy’s
Tans at 33 N. Main.
In response to an inquiry
from the Coalgate RecordRegister as to why occupation
licenses are not obtained prior
to a business being established,
Council members noted that
certain procedures should be
followed in advance, including
the approval of an occupation
license. Potential new business
owners should visit City Hall to
obtain this information.
The Council also approved
the following items:
• The installation of a street
light behind Circle N Market in
front of E&S Automotive for
security reasons.
• A mutual aid agreement
between the City of Coalgate
and
the
Coal
County
commissioners. The agreement,
which is renewed annually, is for
materials and labor to complete
jobs performed.
• Coalgate’s Annual Cleanup
Day on April 21.
• Annual waiver of PILOT
(Payment in Lieu of Taxes) for
the Coalgate Housing Authority.
The waiver is the City of
Coalgate’s portion for the Meals
on Wheels program.
City Manager Roger Cosper
reported on the status of the new
Emergency Services Building,
saying he expects the slab to
be poured around the end of
February or early March.
The city has started compiling
a list of structures and
properties for abatement and
condemnation, Cosper told the
Council. He asked Council
members to take a look around
their wards for any properties
that need to be included on the
list. He hopes to have the list
finished and presented to the
Council this spring, he said.
In response to telephone
calls from citizens requesting
information on this year’s OHFA
(Oklahoma Housing Finance
Agency) housing applications,
Cosper said the City of Coalgate
is not accepting applications at
this time. OHFA will hold a
drawing on February 16 that will
decide which communities are
chosen. If Coalgate is drawn, a
notice will be published in the
Coalgate Record-Register.

Lady Wildcats Struggle In Recent Losses
Revival
For the Love of God
—Coalgate girls need spark as regular season winds down
By HERMAN BROWN
Coalgate correspondent
The Coalgate Lady Wildcats
found two different ways to
lose games last week.
Coach Jim Jenson said the
CHS girls suffered from a poor
shooting touch at Stonewall
on January 31. Coalgate then
lost on the road at Holdenville
on February 3. The skipper
points to a flat performance as
key to the loss against the Lady

Longhorns. Former CHS player
Lacy Walker scored 16 points
and grabbed 15 rebounds to
power Stonewall.
The Lady Wildcats played toe
to toe with Stonewall for three of
the four quarters. In fact, CHS
matched the Lady Longhorns’
26 points combined in the first,
third and fourth quarters. The
only difference in the scoring
was Stonewall’s 13-5 advantage
in the second quarter. That
eight-point difference proved to
be the final margin of the 39-31
win for the Lady Longhorns.
Tandra Elkins finished with
a game-high 17 points for
Coalgate. However, she was
the only Lady Wildcat to score
in double figures. Jade Ward
was next with 6 points. The
other scoring included Cherokee
Acker and Luci Palmer with 3
points and Brooklyn Hughes
with 2.
“It was a deal where we played
good in every facet of the game,
but just could not hit a shot,”
Coach Jenson said. “We had
only 10 turnovers. But when
you are nine of 38 from the
field, that is going to hurt you.
We were three of 16 on 3’s and
six of 22 inside the line. We had
wide open looks and could not
knock them down. That’s why
we lost that game.”
On February 3, Coalgate
suffered a 53-26 loss at
Holdenville. The Wolverines
led 15-8 after one quarter, 2516 at the half and 34-25 at the
end of three quarters. The Lady

Lady Wildcats Struggle In Recent Losses
—Coalgate girls need spark as regular season winds down
Continued from Page A-9
Wildcats needed a strong finish
to erase the nine-point deficit.
Instead, Holdenville exploded
for an 18-1 advantage in the
final eight minutes. That turned
a single-digit cushion into a
27-point blowout at 53-26.
Cherokee Acker and Jade
Ward scored 8 points each for
Friendly Service at Your
Local Sears Hometown Store.
CHS in a losing cause. Tandra
Elkins followed with 5 points.
Luci Palmer and Landon Garcia
2 points each. Khini Shores
rounded out the scoring with 1
point.
“We were our own worst
enemy,” said Coach Jenson.
“We have gone through this
losing streak and up until this
one, we battled and fought and
have been in every one of them
with a chance to win. But we
did not do that in this one. We
turned the ball over 28 times.
We didn’t take care of the ball
and shot ourselves in the foot.
That is what is so disappointing.
We played flat and were not
ready to play. To be successful,

My grandpa used to lean against the fence or shed and watch
our hogs eat. “You can learn a lot about people from watching
hogs eat, boy,” he’d say, and I’d nod my head like I knew what
he was talking about.
Truth was, I had no idea what he meant; not until I spent nearly
two decades in prison where I watched human nature expand and
adapt to an unfettered new level, now-removed from societal
expectations and norms. In this new world, artificially lit by
halogen lights and imposed structure, the strong rose to the top
and power absolutely corrupted. In the course of this evolution, a
new sort of honor arose, one that had more to do with clout than it
had to do with integrity, one that reminds me of politics corporate
today.
After I was in there a while, I began to notice that people
had quit using the words yes and no. They began saying, “On
my momma,” or, “On my set,” or, “On my skin,” (depending,
of course, of their gang affiliation or other social identifier) to
qualify their statements. It became confusing to me, a young man
who’d grown up in Southeastern Oklahoma where most folks’
yes generally meant yes and those whose didn’t were known as
liars.
Like my grandpa would say, when a pig grunts and knocks
another pig out of the way so he or she can eat that food, it doesn’t
take a linguist to decipher what that grunt meant.
What does all this have to do with the OWRB/OKC politics/the
water war in Oklahoma/The Choctaws and Chickasaws?
Well, any student of history can tell you our history as a country
is littered with wadded up, torn up and trampled pieces of paper
called treaties that we signed with the original people of this
continent as we swept across the country, stole their land and
made manifest what we called destiny. During this process of
“civilizing the country” we stretched the envelope on situational
ethics.
While Oklahoma is and should be proud of the cultural riches
of the many tribes who call this state home, not to mention the
outright honor of being home to so many of the descendants of
our Nation’s Original People, the truth of the matter is that most
of them arrived here at gunpoint and trailing blood. For many
of those, Oklahoma wasn’t their first “promised land,” from the
government; no, it was a wasteland that no one else wanted, a
wasteland they’d been moved to after being forced from places
they’d already been moved to but were now more desirable and
we had now decided we wanted or needed.
History, it is said, repeats itself. If that is true, Oklahoma City’s
politics will trample tribal rights and forever tarnish our State.
In prison, where power ruled absolutely, yes and no was
situational, depending on the amount of power you had.
My grandpa said you could learn a lot about people from
watching hogs eat.

PUTTING SURPLUS BOOKS TO GOOD USE — The Southeastern Public Library
System of Oklahoma continues its efforts to place reading materials throughout southern
Oklahoma, allowing these books “one more good read.” Above, library officials donate
over 1,000 books to the McLeod Correctional Facility. From left – Jerry Johnson, Warden
Assistant, McLeod; Jim Southard, Library Superintendent, McLeod; Jerry Williams,

One Last Good Read
—Oklahoma inmates benefit from donated books
The
Howard
McLeod
Correctional Center near Farris
is the most recent facility
to receive books donated
by
Southeastern
Public
Library System of Oklahoma
(SEPLSO). On Friday, January
13, Margie Jump, head librarian
of the Coalgate Library, and
Lila Swink, head librarian of the
Hugo Library, along with Nick
White, SEPLSO’s Information
Technology support, were on
hand to transfer over 1,000
books to the correctional
center.
Correctional centers in
Idabel, Hodgens and McAlester
previously received books. The
most recent donation brings the
total number of donated books
to over 3,000.
SEPLSO plans to donate more
books to correctional centers in
the area it serves. In southeast
Oklahoma, this includes seven
counties: Choctaw, Coal,
Haskell, Latimer, LeFlore,
McCurtain, and Pittsburg.
SEPLSO has 15 branch
libraries serving these counties,
which can be traced in a circle
from McAlester to Stigler,
Spiro, Arkoma (next to Fort
Smith, AR), Poteau, Heavener,
Broken Bow, Idabel, Valliant,
Hugo, and Coalgate. Other
libraries are located within
this circle include Hartshorne,
Wilburton,
Talihina,
and
Wister. Noticeably missing
from the center of this library
service area, rather like “the
hole in a donut,” noted White,
is Pushmataha County, which
has never chosen to be part of a
library system.
The book donations to
correctional facilities began
over a year ago. They began
when White was called in to
help the Broken Bow Library
recover from an incident of
water damage. A sprinkler head
froze during the night, resulting
in damage to thousands of
books and library materials. The
materials were replaced with
insurance monies, but to White’s
dismay, the insurance required
that all damaged materials be
taken or disposed, even books
with only slight water damage.
“I’ve been a DOC volunteer
for years,” notes White. “The
inmates help the community a
lot. Any church or government
agency can apply for a permit
and can get inmate labor to help
with approved projects. Most
of the inmates are happy to get
out and help the community.
They like to be busy. I just
kept thinking that the guys in
the centers sure would enjoy
the books and other media I
was throwing in the dumpster
or crating for the insurance
company.
“Right after that, I got some
inmates to help move the
Idabel library into a new library
building. The guys kept saying
they wished they had access to
the books they were moving
and re-shelving in the new
building. When Linda Potts,
head librarian at Idabel, realized
the men wanted access to
books, she allowed me to give
the correctional center some
surplus books. One thing led to
another, and in a short time their
center was stocked with donated
books and library discards.”
Wayne Hanway, executive
director of SEPLSO, and other
head librarians got involved.
“We started to get to know
these guys,” Lee Toliver,
Talihina
Head
Librarian,
comments. “They came to our
facilities to help assemble and
move shelving which saved us
expensive labor costs.”
Inmates set up books at the
McAlester library’s annual used
book sale. They helped with
the construction of the new
Heavener library facility and
they also helped move all of the
materials into the new building.

city workers and “Friends of the
Library” came and did all of
the re-shelving at Stigler’s new
library building.
“We wanted to give something
back to them,” said Margie
Jump. Lila Swink explained,
“The inmates that helped us
were hungry for books, just like
the guys from the Idabel center.
Our libraries had surplus books
from donations and discarded
materials, as well, and White
quickly made arrangements to
pass along the surplus stock to
correctional centers.”
White is glad that the
correctional centers are getting
their facilities stocked so that
inmates have access to books.
“The books we donate are in
great condition,” he said. “It
would be a shame to waste them
or destroy them when there are
people who want to give them
another good read.”

TO THE CITIZENS OF COALGATE
You have to look at what we have in City
Hall. We have two council members who
have filed for council seats in Wards they
don’t live in. Not very smart and perhaps
illegal. We have a mayor who seems to be
too ignorant to even know what is going
on and a city manager whose only goal appears to be wasting as much money as he
can.
The filing period needs to be reopened
for those seats that are expiring and some
good people need to file for those seats.

Palace Drug Newsletter
—Proper Disposal of Unwanted Medication
By Joe Don Burns
Do you ever wonder what to do with the unused medications that
are sitting at your house?
I have several solutions to this problem and a couple of absolute
no-nos. When it comes to medication, it really is important to get
it right. No matter what option you use to dispose of your meds,
it is important to take a sharpie and mark through your name and
address before disposing of your meds. This will ensure your
privacy and safety on the medications you take. The best way to dispose of your medications is to take them to
the courthouse where there is an unused medication drop box. This
will get them off your hands and assure a proper disposal.
My next favorite method is to burn the medications. It is not
feasible for everyone; but where it is feasible, it works very well.
The next option is to pour the medications into an empty bleach
or detergent bottle. This will ensure that if someone finds your
medications they would be unlikely to want to ingest them.
After saying that and knowing how some people are with some
types of medications, I would also not tell anyone what I had done
with them. That seems crazy, but I have seen worse moves to
obtain narcotics.
Now let’s talk about what not to do with medications.
Do not flush your medications down the drain. The medications
end up in the water supply, and the last thing I want to drink in
my water is someone’s estrogen (female hormone). It sounds
farfetched, but I have heard of it happening.
The other thing you don’t want to do is throw the pill bottles in
the trash (empty or not) without marking out your name, address
and the name of the medication so that no one can read it. I am
not very trusting when it comes to certain types of medications and
some people will do anything to get them. Your safety is my top
priority, so please do not take any chances.
If you have any questions, please call.
Have a great day!

Wildcat Cagers Drop
Stonewall and Holdenville
—Colby Lackey drills four free throws in last 20 seconds to trip Wolverines
By HERMAN BROWN
Coalgate correspondent
There is work to be done for
the Coalgate Wildcats as they
play out the final games of the
regular season.
Coach Kerwin Manion will
lead the Wildcats into action
three times this week and once
more next Tuesday. After that,
the playoffs will be underway.
“We want to be sure we
are prepared to play our best
basketball in the playoffs,”
Coach Manion said. “We need
to do the same things we’ve
been doing as a team. But we
also want to be sure we fix the
little things and iron out any
kinks. That’s what we’ll be
trying to do in our last four
games of the regular season.
We’ll play three games this
week and then finish up next
Tuesday at Savannah. After
that, we’ll start the playoff in
the district tournament.”
Last week, Coalgate notched
a 40-30 win at Stonewall High
School. The 10-point margin
of victory features the Wildcats
jumping out to a lead of 11-0
in the first quarter. After that,
Stonewall edged the visiting
CHS cagers 30-29 over the
final three quarters. The result
was a steady 40-30 win for
Coalgate over the scrappy
Longhorns.
Colby Lackey scored 14
points to pace the Wildcats.
He made four field goals and
drilled five of six free throws.
Lance Walker was also in
double figures in scoring and
rebounding. He scored 10
points and pulled down 15
rebounds.
Also for Coalgate, C. J.
McClain added 6 points
and Brandon Jim generated
5. Jaydin Riley chipped in
3 points and Dustin Ybarra
finished with 2.
“We started off well,” said
Coach Manion. “They had no
points in the first quarter. Our
defense really stepped up. We
held them to only nine points
in the first half. But then we
kind of went on idle after that.
We had that big lead and they
came on and cut it close in the
second half. The main thing is
that we hung in there and got
the win.”
On Friday, Coalgate got
another win. However, it took a
late-game comeback to steal the
victory away from the hosting
Holdenville Wolverines.
Coalgate led 11-8 after one
frame. Holdenville then rallied
to a narrow 25-23 halftime
advantage. The Wolverines
extended the cushion to 38-33
after three quarters.
“We were still down by four
with under a minute left,” said
Coach Manion. “Then Dustin
Ybarra hit a jumper to cut it to
two with 50 seconds to go.”
Holdenville tried to milk the
clock. But pressure defense
by the Wildcats forced another
turnover.
From there, the
Wolverines fouled Colby
Lackey.
“Colby stepped up and hit
both ends of a 1-and-1 foul
chance to tie the game (at 4545) with 20 seconds to go,” the
CHS coach said. “That was big
for us.”
Holdenville was looking
to retake the lead in the final
20 seconds. That’s when the
Wildcats forced the Wolverines
into another crucial turnover.
From there, Coalgate took
possession and looked for a
game-winning shot. But when
the ball got away, there was
a wild scramble. Lucky for
Lackey, he was fouled once
again. The Wildcat was sent
to the free throw line with 2.5
seconds. He calmly drained
a pair of free throws to ease
Coalgate into a 47-45 lead.
“Holdenville had time to
launch one shot from halfcourt, but it missed and that
was it,” said Coach Manion.
“It was one of those nights
where I was not happy with the
way we played. But the bottom
line is that we played through
it and still found a way to win.
However you get it, you get a
win.”
Colby Lackey’s late free
throws pushed his total to 16
points for the night. Lance
Walker added 12 points and
Brandon Jim finished with 10.
Dustin Ybarra hit that clutch
field goal in the fourth quarter
to finish with 4 points. C. J.
McClain and Mason Jim scored

The Tupelo Tigers are hoping
to bounce into the post-season
playoffs with a four-game win
streak. Coach Clay Weller
believes that successful string
might improve the Tigers’
chances of a longer playoff
run.
“Momentum is such a big
thing,” Coach Weller said. “It
gives players confidence to hit
those shots. If you are riding
some positive momentum, it
makes you harder to beat.”
Tupelo carried a threegame winning streak into the
February 7th home game with
Coleman. The head coach was
aware of the challenge Coleman
presents. However, he was also
pleased with the recent scoring
surge by his own Tigers.
“I’ve said all along, if we can
score 50 points in a game, we
have a chance to beat almost
anybody we play,” he said.
“Our defense has been good
enough to hold most teams
down. But we’ve struggled
to score points for most of the
season. That’s why I am so
pleased with these last three
games. We scored 52, 50 and
63 in those and won all three of
them. If we can keep scoring
like that, our chances certainly
improve in the playoffs.”
On January 31, Tupelo held
off a Milburn Eagles’ comeback
bid to record a 52-47 victory at
Tupelo High School.
The Tigers led 15-6 after one
quarter and 25-16 at the break.
When the Tigers extended the
lead to 40-24, they appeared in
pretty good shape. However,
Milburn got hot down the
stretch and ripped the nets for
23 points. Tupelo was able to
answer with 12 points, which
allowed the Tigers to slip out
with a five-point win at 52-47.
Tanner Davis led Tupelo to
victory with 12 points and 12
rebounds.
Two other Tigers scored in
double figures in the game.
Jakota Carrell shared team-high
scoring honors with 12 points.
Matt Benedict was next with 10
points.
The rest of the scoring
included Chisum Henry with
8 points, Corey McCollum
with 6, and H.D. Bullard and
Brandon Chamberlain with 2
points each.
“We got off to a good start,”
said Coach Weller. “We led
15-2 late in the first quarter.
But we did not play as well in
the second quarter. Then we
came out in the third quarter refocused and pushed the lead to
16. After that, Milburn turned
up the pressure and we didn’t
handle it very well.”
Tupelo connected on seven
of 10 free throws in the fourth

To create jobs, Obama wants more highways, bridges, and other public works. One would think that
after all the czars, assistants, committee members, and lawyers that he and his wife have hired the
past three years, that at least one of these positions would come up with some means of job creation
without that job being paid for by the American taxpayer. This president can not create real jobs
because he has never held a real job. He probably never paid any taxes until he became president.
Here is an example of how this administration works. There are three grocery stores in a small town in southern
Oklahoma. One of the store owners said that during the first 10 days of January, his store took in $90,000.00
worth of food stamps. Now just think of how many small stores there are scattered across this nation. After you think about that, just think about all of the Wal Mart stores and small convenience stores that are
doing business and the millions of dollars that went through their cash registers, just from welfare checks.
This president and his administration only know how to provide welfare checks, they have no idea how to
provide PAY CHECKS. Small businesses provide pay checks because someone had an idea and wanted
to succeed in life. Obama continues to put his thumb on anything and everything that is good for this nation.
Mr. Obama, you can continue to knock us down, but we will get up again. You can continue to degrade
this nation and knock us down another time. Each time you knock us down, we will get up, again, again,
and again. November of 2012 is coming. America will have a choice as to whether you stay or are
replaced by someone who truly cares about this nation. Hopefully, America will make the right choice.

Lady Tigers Get ‘Game’ Going Late In Season
—Tupelo girls hoping for rematch with Sasakawa Lady Vikings in district finals
By HERMAN BROWN
Tupelo correspondent
The Tupelo Lady Tigers are working
hard to prepare for the upcoming
playoffs. Coach Missy Rogers has
been pleased with how her girls are
combining good play on offense
and defense. If that trend continues,
THS might make some noise in the
playoffs.
Tupelo recorded a pair of doubledigit wins last week in home games.
However, the Lady Tigers then
suffered a double-digit loss on the road
at Sasakawa.
On Tuesday, Tupelo shot down the
visiting Milburn Lady Eagles 43-32.
The real damage came early as the
Lady Tigers rocketed out to a 16-2 lead
in the first quarter. Milburn outscored
the host team 30-27 over the final three
periods. However, all that did was
close their losing deficit to 11 points at
43-32.
Kelsie Warner dropped in a teamhigh 12 points for the Tupelo squad.
Kayley Sanders was also in double
figures with 10 points. Brittany Sanders
was next with 6 points while Tamara
Thompson and Haylee Fowler added 4
points each. Three Lady Tigers added
2 points each, including Kate McCoy,
Hailey Ellis and Kurston Chamberlain.
Keara Bourland rounded out the total
with 1 point.
Coach Rogers praised the showing
by her Lady Tigers.
“I thought we came out really
aggressive and strong,” she said. “I
also think our defense really worked
well and that was important to this win
too.”
On Thursday, Tupelo added a 4533 win over the visiting Victory Life
Academy Lady Eagles. The victory
was authored by Tupelo outscoring the
Lady Eagles in all four quarters. THS
led 12-7 in the first quarter, 22-14 in the
second, 32-22 in the third, and then 4533 at the end.
The one-two scoring punch of
Kayley Sanders and Brittany Sanders
generated a combined 31 points – just
two points less than the 33 produced by
the entire VLA squad. Kayley Sanders
torched the Lady Eagles with 19 points.
Brittany Sanders added 12 points.
Other scoring included Kurston
Chamberlain with 5 points, Kelsie
Warner with 4, Kate McCoy with 3,
and Haylee Fowler with 2.
“Our defense has finally got its
spacing really good,” said Coach
Rogers. “They are spacing correctly
and anticipating what we need to do.
Our defense is flowing right into our
offense. The two are working well
together and we are getting more
confidence throwing the ball in the
basket.”
On Saturday, Tupelo hoped to
add the Sasakawa Lady Vikings to the
growing list of victims. However, the
hosting SHS squad had other ideas.
Sasakawa withstood a good effort by
Tupelo and escaped with a hard-earned
43-34 win.
Tupelo fell behind 10-4 in the first
quarter. The deficit swelled to a dozen
at the break, 21-9. The Lady Tigers
outscored SHS 15-12 to close the lead
to 33-24. They matched Sasakawa’s
10 points in the last quarter. Despite
the effort, Tupelo still came up nine
points shy, 43-34.
Brittany Sanders came up big for
Tupelo with 17 points. Kayley Sanders
was also in double figures with 11
points. The only other scoring for THS
included Kurston Chamberlain with 4
points and Kelsie Warner with 2.
The loss was disappointing for the
Tupelo program. However, the Lady
Tigers may have an opportunity for
sweet revenge.
“We’ll need to beat Calvin on
Friday in the district tournament,” said
Coach Rogers. “The loser of that one is
finished for the season. We’ve beaten
them both times. I’m telling my girls
right now that if we’ll play and do the
job we are supposed to do, we’ll be OK.
We are focused on us and what we are
doing. Both myself and my kids would
love a rematch with Sasakawa. We
are not ready to move from the court
to the field just yet. We want to play
basketball for a while longer.”
