Volume 126 Museum docent Stan Shapiro introducing himself to Spiro students at the Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art. Spiro students visit Tulsa museum T wenty Spiro Gear Up juniors recently visited the Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art in Tulsa. The museum is dedicated to preserving the memory of the Holocaust and to teaching the moral and ethical response to prejudice, hatred and indifference for the benefit of all humanity. Students viewed pictures, maps and artifacts from the time of the Holocaust — Sept. 14, 1930, to Nov. 22, 1945. Two tour groups were led by volunteer docents Sandi Tilkin and Stan Shapiro. Students heard stories about different victims and heroes of the era. The Kaiser Holocaust Exhibition encourages visitors to remember the 6 million Jews murdered in the Shaoh by the six candles resembling the smokestacks of the crematorium on the sculpture you see as you enter the exhibition. The origin of the work “Holocaust” is Greek meaning “sacrifice totally consumed by fire.” The docent wanted the students to get the understanding that discrimination is still present today, and it is the responsibility of each one of them to stand up for (See HOLOCAUST, page 2) Friends prepare books bags for newborns Local sites open for Make-a-Wish event By Amanda Corbin PDN Reporter “I’m passionate about kids learning to read. That’s why I’m part of the library,” said Gerry Roberts of Friends of the Library at Patrick Lynch Public Library in Poteau. Friends of the Library have begun a new project to help increase literacy and love for reading among the youth of LeFlore County — starting as young as birth. Newborns at Eastern Oklahoma Medical Center in Poteau will be given a book package from the PLPL Friends starting today. The package will include a baby book, bib, information about PLPL and what programs for children are offered at the library, as well as a gift certificate for a second children’s book from PLPL. There will be two versions of the package, By Ken Milam PDN News Editor LeFlore County will have two locations to donate to the Make-A-Wish Foundation on Friday during the KTCS 99.9 annual Radiothon. “This is the first time we’ve a locations in LeFlore County,” said Mitch Sampson, LeFlore County Coordinator for Make-AWish.

Roberts said the PLPL Friends were inspired to do the project after Friends of the Dallas Public Library in Texas began the “Books for Dallas Babies” program for newborns at Parkland Hospital in Dallas in partnership with their local library. Additionally, newborns at EOMC in Poteau will be given baby spoons in a joint venture between the PLPL Friends and the EOMC Auxiliary. Roberts said the Friends have purchased enough books to last through the remainder of the year. Volunteers will have donation buckets in the Walmart parking lot and a drive-through site will be at the Donald W. Reynolds Community center from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Sampson said.

Correction A photo caption on Page 1 in Tuesday’s edition contained incorrect information. The Panama Police Department did not participate as a team in the Bubble Soccer fundraiser for Band Boosters Saturday at Panama School. The team opposing the sheriff’s department was a group of area residents representing Shady Point Fire Department. The newspaper regrets the error.

HOLOCAUST what is right. The students also were educated on segregation, racism, the world’s reaction to Hitler, the ghettos, the camps, rescues, Jewish religion and more. “Seeing all of the pictures of the small children, women and families being murdered, I really didn’t realize this many people lost their life. This breaks my heart,” said junior Samantha Gillion. Shapiro discussed the Torah and how it is read from right to left. The Torah is written in Hebrew and one passage is read each sabbath. That is the same reading all over the world for that date. The students were amazed that the Torah was written by hand. Junior Josh Cole said, “You would have to write really neat and nice to have this job so I wouldn’t be able to work as a Torah writer.” Most items in the museum are donated and behind covered glass cabinets. Students also learned that there are 613 commandments to go by, not just 10. “There was so much information to take in, I need to go back and look through it all again,” said Jimmie Pool. The students also had the opportunity to experience a special exhibition from Washington, D.C., while touring the museum called “State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda.” The exhibit is designed to teach visitors the meaning of propaganda, how it was used by the Nazi army to gain power and how it is still used today. Propaganda is biased information spread to shape public opinion and behavior. Students were able to see the different uses of propaganda techniques used to control the society and help Hitler gain control. “Propaganda is a very powerful tool that is still used today,” said Gear Up Education Coordinator Dara Self, “and I think it is very important that our students have a better understanding of what their words can do to others.” The field trip was sponsored by Eastern Oklahoma State College Gear Up. Participating schools take two field trips each academic year — one to tour a college or university and one that is cultural/educational in nature. High schoolers can enroll at college Area high school students can begin enrolling for concurrent classes at Carl Albert State College. The fall semester will begin Aug. 10. “Concurrent classes are a great way for students to complete college classes while still in high school. Concurrent classes count for high school course requirements as well, therefore it is advantageous for students,” according to CASC Director of Enrollment Management/Retention Specialist Jennifer Humphreys. Regarding the cost of concurrent classes, Humphreys said, “Juniors and seniors who are Oklahoma residents attending an Oklahoma high school are eligible for a tuition waiver that covers a maximum of six hours per semester. The tuition waivers are a real help to students financially, but I do want to clarify that students are responsible for class fees, books and any other expenses related to concurrent classes. “Again, concurrent classes are a fantastic opportunity for high school students, and we encourage all qualified students to enroll,” Humphreys said.

That would depend on the evaluation criteria. For African Americans traveling in the 1930s through 1960s, The Green Book was a very treasured and sometimes crucial publication. The complete title, The Negro Motorist Green Book was written by Victor H. Green, an African American mail carrier from the Harlem borough of New York City. This directory of hotels, restaurants, service stations and other needed services that welcomed travelers in a time of segregation and often hostility literally made travel possible, helped create growth in black-owned businesses and FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 2016 . . . PAGE 3 supported a middle-class lifestyle. Traveling was dangerous for blacks in those days. “Sundown Towns” did not welcome them. Jim Crow laws made food, water, and even restrooms difficult to locate. The Green Book created a safety net allowing these folks to travel relatively safe and without the worry of “being in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Green was 44 when he created his first edition, based on his own experiences in 1937, and it was only 15 pages of simple listings, costing 25 cents. The last edition for 1966-67 was 99 pages costing $1, with listings for the entire contiguous United States with some listings for neighbor- Treasure Hunting Carole Gill ing countries, and included churches, golf courses, night clubs and state parks, a valuable resource for the burgeoning black middle-class businesses and vacationers. Up to 20,000 copies were printed annually during the later decades. Green died before Congress passed the Civil Rights Act on July 2, 1964. He was never wealthy.

FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 2016 POTEAU DAILY NEWS Choose life — it’s a Expansion of brief experience Editorial Round-up Medicaid not a budget cure-all Editorial excerpt from The Oklahoman April 4, 2016 The news that Oklahoma’s Medicaid program may cut provider rates by 25 percent due to the state budget shortfall will undoubtedly lead some critics to insist this would not be happening had Oklahoma expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. Yet while the state would have received additional federal funds for Medicaid under Obamacare expansion, that money would have been used for new enrollees, not those currently in the program. The program would still face cuts this year and provider-rate reductions would likely still be on the table. Supporters of expansion often ignore that adding people to the program also increases costs that state government struggles to cover in a time of budget challenge. Making a struggling program bigger isn’t the same as making it stronger, and expansion could actually amplify state government’s financial challenges. Medicaid as it currently exists in Oklahoma primarily serves the very low income, mostly children and pregnant women. Under expansion, thousands of able-bodied adults with incomes above the poverty line would be added to the program. Oklahoma currently must provide around $4 in state funding for every $6 in federal Medicaid spending on current enrollees (the aforementioned women and children). Under the Affordable Care Act, the federal government pays 100 percent of the extra costs for the expansion population through 2016, then 95 percent before leveling off at 90 percent in 2020 and afterward. But even with expansion, Oklahoma would still have to provide the roughly 40 percent match for the existing Medicaid population, so that budget challenge would remain the same. Those who say the health care system will be strengthened by expanding Medicaid basically imply that providers will make enough off the expansion population to subsidize treatment of the core population of existing Medicaid enrollees. That’s debatable. One criticism of Medicaid is that it pays less to providers than the cost of treatment. Presently, Medicaid pays physicians about 87 percent of what Medicare pays, and Medicare pays less than most private insurance. If provider rates are cut another 25 percent, the rate will fall to just 64.9 percent of Medicare rates. But under either scenario, Medicaid payments are so low that doctors treating those patients can struggle to stay profitable. Adding more people to an underpaying program will not significantly alter that equation. Also, the state match required for Medicaid expansion is not insubstantial. A Leavitt Partners report in 2013 predicted Oklahoma taxpayers would fork over $850 million over 10 years for Medicaid expansion. That may have been a lowball figure, based on the experience of other states. Before Medicaid was expanded in Ohio, officials predicted 366,000 people would be added to the program. After expansion, the actual increase was more than 600,000. Officials predicted the cost of Ohio’s Medicaid expansion would be $2.56 billion for the first 18 months of Medicaid expansion. The actual cost was nearly $4 billion. If a similar scenario occurred in Oklahoma, the state share of Medicaid expansion costs could run closer to $1.3 billion over a decade. Such concerns are one reason why state officials have balked at embracing Medicaid expansion. Imagine how dire this year’s $1.3 billion budget shortfall would be if lawmakers were also grappling with Medicaid costs and enrollment that were skyrocketing far above current trends. Whatever else may be claimed about Medicaid expansion, it’s no cure-all for state government’s fiscal challenges.

Kim McConnell, Publisher ......................................... Ext. 25 [email protected] Life is an opportunity to spend a brief period of time in this world. During this minimal space of time we are fortunate to enjoy what most others cannot do. Most of the people who have ever lived are dead. Therefore we are in a very rare state of existence. We are in the land of the living. We breathe, eat, work, worry, cry, laugh and either enjoy or hate life. I read about young adults who die almost every day — young people overdosing on drugs, alcohol or committing suicide. Millions more live in a depressive state. Life has its ups and downs and there is really no such thing as a perfect life. All of us are faced with sickness, caregiving, worries, stress, messes, disappointments, sadness, victories and more. It’s life. We often look at other lives and envy them. We develop the impression that others are free of problems and sadness when often those who seem to be the happiest struggle the most. While being a caregiver for 12 years an acquaintance commented to me, “You seem to have the world by the tail. No one would ever dream you have a problem in the world.” Smiling, trying to keep a good attitude and being kind to others throws a lot of people off. Sadly, we aren’t used to seeing this in most people. We can’t live our lives based on others. No one thing will make you happy or fill you with a vibrant life. No one person makes you alive. No one certain job will make you alive. Life is not ultimately found in money, a relationship, a child, a career, a house or anything. All of these of course add to our living. However, ultimate living is more powerful than any one certain thing, event or person. I understand losing a child or spouse in death cuts our hearts out.

I’ve had disappointments in business, frustrating jobs and fallen flat on my face. I know what it’s like to draw unemployment. I know what it feels like to go to the county social services office and apply for Medicaid because I couldn’t afford to pay for my wife’s nursing home expenses. I know what it’s like to lose “friends” because I didn’t do exactly as they thought I should do. Oh well. Lots of stuff can rob us of life. Don’t let this political season sour your life. Carefully consider who you think will be best for protecting our country by bringing our jobs back, updating our infrastructure, strengthening our Social Security and strengthening our military. Fighting and arguing about it all day is a waste of energy. Make your choice and vote. My preacher was talking a lot about life at church this past Sunday. He quoted a verse of scripture from Proverbs 12:28: “In the way of righteousness there is life.” He talked about choosing to live. There are choices that lead to death but there are choices that lead to life. I hope today that you choose to live and love life. It’s a brief experience. Glenn Mollette is an American syndicated columnist and author. He is the author of 11 books and read in all 50 states. America, where for art thou? Is this great land we call America vanishing before our very eyes? We need to be reminded of the sobering words of Nikita Khrushchev, who said, “You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won’t even have to fight you; we’ll so weaken your economy until you’ll fall like an overripe fruit into our hands.” In 2008, and again in 2012, I said America was in trouble. We have a president who seems to be hell-bent on marginalizing America. His socialistic ideology has been an absolute failure for the last seven years and his presidential legacy will be lost in the quagmire of those delusions. In 2016, we have Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders vying for the Democrat presidential nomination. Both are socialists and Bernie is quite proud of that maligning label. On the Republican side we have a senator from Texas, a governor from Ohio and a billionaire businessman from New York all vying to be the next president of the United States. The governor doesn’t have a chance of winning the presidency, but he refuses to get out of the race. The senator and billionaire both have a realistic chance of winning the Republican nomination, but the politics of it all is getting quite disturbing. A recent article in the National Enquirer claimed Ted Cruz has five mistresses. The presidential candidate said the piece was no doubt orchestrated by “Trump’s henchmen” and that it was “garbage.” Ironically, the CEO of the company that owns the National Enquirer is a personal friend of Donald Trump. I don’t take much solace in what the National Enquirer prints — it’s a tabloid and just that. I once in a while glance at those papers, if you want to call them that, and I’m amused to see headlines like “Man beaten to death with foot-long hot dog.” I recently heard both Mitt Romney and Glenn Beck say they could never vote for Trump. They claimed they would write in a name on the ballot before casting their vote for the New York billionaire.

Ext. 14 [email protected] Guest Column Thinkin’ Out Loud Greg Allen ing for Trump or Clinton in the general election would be a choice of deciding upon the lesser of two evils. Glenn then said it’s not his desire to vote for evil at all. The more I study Trump, the less I like his character and the personae he protrudes. The presidency of the United States is an office that commands dignity and Trump doesn’t have the temperament in that regard. He’s constantly making the claim “We’ll make America great again,” but when pressed to define his plans he marginalizes the question and talks in generalities. Trump is weak on foreign policy and when he was recently asked about who he would consult with on foreign policy he said: “I’ll consult with myself. I’m a pretty smart guy.” When he was pressed about the matter, he said he had a foreign policy team in place. After giving that response some thought he corrected himself by saying he’s working on assembling a team. Shortly thereafter he announced who the members of his foreign-policy team were. Ironically, those individuals claimed they have never spoken to Trump about the matter. Trump has also been spewing rude comments as well and it’s raising alarms. Trump has attacked Megyn Kelly, Carly Fiorina, Columba Bush and now Cruz’s wife. He has called women “pigs,” “dogs,” “slobs,” “disgusting animals,” “losers” and “bimbos.” In a recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, 70 percent of women had a negative opinion of Trump. Cruz recently told reporters, “We don’t want a president who traffics in sleaze.” I for one will not bow to moral decay. I will not go quiet or away. I will not sacrifice the spirit of decency that America is. The founding fathers realized our rights come from a creator, not some overbearing government that seeks control over all aspects of human life.

Rounding out things for the Pirates, Bryson Terry shot an 83, followed by Bryce Weldon with an 87, Jeremiah Loggains with a 95 and Justun Coyle with a 96. “It was very trying conditions,” Poteau coach Mike Thomas said about Wednesday’s High School Golf Roundup weather factor. “The wind gusts got to 40 mph. We’re still not where we need to be. We need to get at least two of our players into the low to mid 70s and a couple of our scores down into the 80s.” The Pirates will return to action with back-to-back outings to end this week. They will be at the Sallisaw Invitational, which will begin at 9 this morning at Shadow Creek Golf Course. Then, they’ll hit the links at 9 a.m. Saturday in the ChecotahEufaula Invitational at Fountainhead Resort Golf Course. The Heavener duo of Braxton Sullivan and Jacob Davis are slated to be at both these tournaments as well. The Poteau Boys Invitational will begin at 9 a.m. Monday at Choctaw Country Club. Poteau Girls Fourth at Hilldale MUSKOGEE — The Po- teau Lady Pirates were fourth at Tuesday’s Hilldale Invitational, which took place at Cobblestone Golf Course. They had a team score of 445. Shelli Cobb had the best round for Poteau, carding a 97. Ashlynn Smith shot a 112, followed by Dru Martin with a 116, Randalyn Rice with a 120 and Sarah Johnson with a 122. Senior Dallas Terry was unable to participate due to another school function. The Lady Pirates will return to action at 9 this morning in the Sallisaw Invitational at Shadow Creek Golf Course. Their Monday tournament, the Keys (Park Hill) Invitational at Cherokee Springs Golf Course, was canceled. The Poteau Girls Invitational will be at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Choctaw Country Club. It had been scheduled March 21 but had to be canceled due to a rainsoaked course. Editor’s note: Tuesday’s Sallisaw Junior High Tournament was canceled.

FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 2016 Outdoors/Sports POTEAU DAILY NEWS Steelman, Griffith win LCBC Tournament on Lake Eufaula The LeFlore County Bass Club had its fourth tournament of the 2016 circuit Saturday at The Dam Site Landing on Lake Eufaula. There were 23 boats filled with anglers who caught a grand total of 55 fish that collectively weighed 138.09 pounds. Each fish caught averaged 2.51, and there were six limits caught. Gary Steelman and Keith Griffith bested the field with a winning stringer of 18.54 pounds to earn $525. Among the haul was Steelman's big bass winner, weighing 6.72 pounds to earn him an additional $210. Robbie Brassfield and Keith Jones were runnersup with 13.43 pounds to earn $315, while Joe Phillips II and Weston Bedford were third at 11.81 pounds to win $210. Rounding out the top five were Sean Morrison and Raymond Plant in fourth (11.09 pounds) and Bucky McGee and Randy Martin in fifth (10.98). The next tournament is the club's open tournament, which will begin with safe light and end about 3 p.m. April 16 at Potato Hills South on Sardis Lake. The entry fee is $40.

Unlike most weekends on the Professional Golf Association Tour, when the pros come to Augusta National to play golf, the rest of the world stops to watch. The 90man field not only includes the top 50 ranked players on the PGA Tour but the top players from the European Tour, Japanese Tour, Latin Tour and various other top-ranked golfers from across the world. However, unlike the U.S. Open or British Open where the allure of holding a trophy, besides a sizeable check, brings in the golfers, The Masters is known more by the infamous green jacket that last year’s winner will place on the winner of this year's event — and go down in the ranks of past winners like Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus. While this also is a notable weekend in the realm of fantasy golf as daily fantasy site Draftkings will crown a millionaire on Sunday, the larger focus will remain on the leaderboard come Saturday evening. After three rounds of golf, we should have a clear indication of who's con- roy, Jordan Spieth, Adam Scott and Dustin Johnson — all golfers the average golf fan is familiar with because these guys are contending for wins week-in and week-out. Each week, I run a stats model for the fantasy advice site, “Draftshot,” and my model says that Scott should come out of Augusta with the win. Based off of six straight made cuts at Augusta as well as two wins in his four PGA Tour events, I believe he should be the odds-on favorite. However, the sharps in Las Vegas sing a different tune as they’ve given Day the best odds to win. Day has never won The Masters in five trips. However, fresh off of wins at the Dell Match Play and Arnold Palmer Invitational he can’t be counted out. Of course, none of these top-tiered golfers should be, either, including Spieth who won last year’s event as he tied a course record for strokes under par. Spieth’s domination of Augusta was no flash in the pan as he had come in second the year before. The forgotten man in this crowd may very well be Mickelson, who's playing as well as he ever has at age 45. By Phill Bennetzen He's a three-time winner at Augusta, and The Masters has typically been a course on which he contends with 12 top10 finishes in his last 16 years. Considering Mickelson has as many top-five finishes this year as he did top 10s in 2015, it would be no surprise to see him in the last pairing come Sunday as he looks for his fourth green jacket. Regardless the winner, I recommend you watch this tournament as the world’s best compete on one of the world’s most beautiful landscapes for a chance at history. ••• "The Triple Option" each week is presented by Fantasy Hub, Daily Fantasy Sports for Charity."

Sense & Sensitivity DEAR HARRIETTE: As spring is here in full force, my wife has decided that this is the year that we get rid of clutter. In the past, the whole family has made a halfhearted promise to throw out what we truly do not need just to appease my wife. This year, however, it seems as though she is ready to turn everyone into complete minimalists. There is an entire schedule for what we are donating each week. Clothing, toys, sports equipment and extra bedding all make an appearance, and it's safe to say everyone is a little scared of Mommy this year. Our children are 10, 12 and 15, and they do not always want to part with their items. My wife is not even budging at their requests to hold on to anything sentimental. She says we can just take a photograph of items to remember them and donate or toss the real thing. We're all weary of this idea, but my wife seems to be on a rampage. Do we just grin and bear this spring cleaning? I don't really want to get rid of anything, either. – Power Clean, Rochester, NY DEAR POWER CLEAN: I wish your wife would come to my house! Believe it or not, her level of organization for this cleaning means that it will likely be more effective than in years past. Even though you don't want to let go of any of your belongings, you may be relieved and grateful if you do it. Most of us collect things over the years that we really don't need. Make space for what is yet to come by giving up something from each category. It will be a great lesson for your children as well. By Harriette Cole DEAR HARRIETTE: From the ages of 2 to 10, my mother entered me in beauty pageants. I grew up in the South, where this is common. I don't hold any resentment toward my mother, but I do grimace a little when I see my old dresses, flippers and costumes. I know I won a few thousand dollars for my family in the end and had some fun, so I don't regret these years of my life. Now that I am pregnant for the first time, my mother has been asking me about how I'm going to find any pageants up north for my daughter to compete in. I said I wasn't particularly worried about this, and my mother mentioned how the money helps with expenses and how I could reuse some of my old belongings. I keep dodging the questions she asks, but quite frankly, I think putting my daughter into pageants would be tacky. I don't want to have my toddler daughter make money for me, and I don't want judges ranking her. I don't have any hard feelings about my pageant years, but I will not be entering my daughter in them. How can I get my point across firmly, without stepping on any toes? – Turning a New Page, Wilmington, DE DEAR TURNING A NEW PAGE: You are going to have to come right out and tell your mother directly that you will not be entering your daughter in pageants. When she presses you, tell her that you understand why she had you do it, but you don't want your daughter to follow in your footsteps. You will help her figure out her own interests and support her in exploring them.

FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 2016 POTEAU DAILY NEWS Scholarships awarded to 4 students from Talihina KTC LeFlore County Department of Human Services employees were on hand as they were recognized with Energy Star certification in a ceremony Wednesday.

PDN photo by Trayce Kerbow DHS lauded for energy savings By Trayce Kerbow PDN Correspondent The LeFlore County Department of Human Services was awarded Energy Star certification on Wednesday morning as employees looked on. To earn the Energy Star certification, a building must preform in the top 25 percent of similar facilities nationwide for energy efficiency. The Oklahoma First Energy Plan program’s mission is to reduce the energy consumed in facilities owned and operated by the state of Oklahoma, while maintaining a comfortable, productive building. Claire Farr, Energy Star 2 program manager, presented a certificate to Sevilla Vance, director of LeFlore County DHS, and told employees at the ceremony that they had received a score of 88, which indicates their office is more energy-efficient than 88 percent of similar facilities. By the end of 2015, LeFlore County DHS had reduced energy costs 13 percent below their costs in fiscal year 2012. This was achieved by small changes made by employees in their daily habits, lowering parking lot lights as well as many other small things that added up to big savings. Statewide DHS has been able to reduce costs 29 percent since 2012, which amounted slightly more than $1 million. The Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education recently awarded the Otha Grimes Memorial Scholarship to four students from the KTC Talihina campus. The scholarship is named for Otha Grimes, who was actively involved in agriculture, oil and gas production, and civic programs throughout the state. Grimes served as a member of the board of directors for the CareerTech Foundation. The scholarship is reserved for adult students who may not qualify for other scholarship opportunities or student assistance programs. This scholarship is awarded on the basis of commitment exhibited by the recipient. Awards range from $300 to $600 and are unrestricted with respect to the occupational area. Funds can be used to assist winners with tuition, books and other direct expenses incurred for training. Recipients of the scholarship include Taylor Bowers of Whitesboro, Chasity Taylor of Wilburton, Brandy Smith of Whitesboro and Treasure Johns of Clayton.
