My First-Grade Teacher She opened their eyes to a world of possibilities. By Johnnie Wingo Martha Graham was my first-grade teacher, and she was a magician. Not your everyday pulling-rabbits-out-of-a-hat magician; she didn’t wear a flaring red cape or a tall hat. She didn’t release flocks of white doves into the air. Her magic was the kind that changed and enriched lives. For five days a week, she corralled 25 children in a little two-room country school in Oklahoma and convinced them that they liked it. Her smile made every child feel special, smart and well liked. We were children of the Depression, born to sharecropper parents who had struggled for years just to feed, shelter and clothe their families. The food was black-eyed peas and corn bread; shelter was a three—or four—room unpainted shack. Our clothes were hand-me-downs and underwear made from flour sacks. The politicians in Washington claimed the Depression was over by 1935, the year I was born, but what do politicians know about the real world? According to our parents, it had happened once; who could say that it might not happen again? Farmers needed their children at home to help raise the crops, tend the gardens, milk the cows and slop the hogs. But somewhere in some far-off government office, ignorant politicians ignored those needs and decreed that all children must attend school through the eighth grade. It made no sense to our parents, and we went off to school reluctantly, aware that we were needed at home to ensure that there would be enough food in the cellar to carry us through the long, hard winter. But once we answered the ringing of the bell and filed in to take our places at our desks, our teacher managed to overcome our reluctance to be there. Miss Graham knew about the devil’s plans for idle hands. She kept us too busy to think about the cotton that wasn’t being picked, and the corn that needed to be shelled. We started the day by singing happy songs, songs we never heard at home. The only songs we heard otherwise were sung at funerals—sad songs that told us we were not to expect much here on earth, but if we worked hard and were very, very good, we might someday be rewarded in heaven. We learned the alphabet and how to write our names. We drew pictures (a waste of time, our parents would have said—but they also told us that we had to mind our teacher, so we drew pictures because Miss Graham told us to). At recess time, Miss Graham made us go outside to play. We knew that our parents would have frowned on the unnecessary waste of time and energy, but we had to do it; Miss Graham said so. Best of all, we learned to read. There are people who scorn the stories about Dick and Jane and Spot. But picture it through our eyes: Those children wore pretty clothes; they ran and played and laughed; and Spot ran and played ball with them. Our dogs were only kept around for their ability to hunt possums or tree squirrels, or herd the cattle. They would not have known how to play with a ball even if we had had one to play with. Most likely they would have tried to eat it; farm dogs seldom had enough to eat unless they ran it down themselves. And somehow, over the next four years, Miss Graham wove her magic spell, and we became aware that someday, we might go out into the world and leave the farm, poverty and hard work behind. Someday we might live in painted houses and wear store-bought clothes. We might have children who would have time to play without worrying about endless chores. We might someday have dogs whose only chore would be to play all day.

It proved to be more of a “challenge” than I wanted to deal with so I left the rental business . . . forever. I learned that many tenants do not enjoy paying their rent. Here are a few of my favorite reasons tenants gave landlords for avoiding it . . . • “With my daughter’s graduation, our new boat, and our trip to Europe this year, we’re a little strapped.” • “I’m getting real tried of paying this rent every month! You’ll have to wait a few more days.” • “We’re a little short right now. But don’t worry – we’re getting a refund on my wife’s tattoo. The artist messed it up and we’re getting back most of the bucks!” • “I didn’t pay the rent because I’m saving up to move.” • “It’s your fault the check bounced. Why didn’t you tell me you were going to run to the bank the very same day!” —CC— Remember how our teachers would not let us chew gum, during class? Recent tests show that if they had allowed us to chew gum we would have done better on our tests. I might even have been valedictorian . . . probably not, now that I think about it. Here is the recent report . . “University students who chewed gum before taking a series of tests performed significantly better during the first half hour of testing than a control group who didn’t chew gum, a study published in the journal Appetite found. Numerous studies have examined the cognitive benefits of chewing gum but results varied, possibly due to methodological difference, researchers said. This study focused on the optimum time to chew gum. Two groups of students in Canton, New York, one with 80 people and one with 79, completed five cognitively demanding tasks, each in the opposite order. Approximately half the subjects in each group chewed either sugar-fre or sugar-added gum for five minutes in time to a metronome set at 60 beats per minute. The other half served as the controls. Gum chewers in both groups significantly outperformed controls on five out of six tests administered in the first 20 minutes of testing, but there was no difference in performance after 30 minutes. Sugar content had no effect. A separate experiment involving 65 new students found there was no benefit to chewing gum throughout the entire testing session. Chewing gum may enhance performance by increasing cerebral blood flow, but performing difficult tasks and chewing gum simultaneously can be cognitively demanding and may explain the time-limited benefits, researchers said.” So, if you want to improve your performance . . . chew more gum! —CC— How many of you have heard of “Bronies?” They originated in Berkeley, California . . . which is no surprise to anyone . . . Fifteen young men in this hotbed of activism gathered at an Indian restaurant on a recent Sunday and made an appeal: Could the waiter please switch the TV from the news to “My Little Pony”? Then the men heaped their plates with curry and clustered around tables to absorb the Pony cartoon, share trivia about the characters and play show-and-tell with the various plastic Pony toys they had brought along. Meet the self-described “bronies.” The object of the bronies’ fascination is “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic,” a remake of a 1980s animated TV show for preadolescent girls featuring plucky, candy-colored equines. After the show launched in October 2010, video clips began appearing on 4chan, a website that largely draws geeky, tech-savvy guys. Before long, the bronies were born. They started holding local get-togethers, from Seattle to Brooklyn, where they recognized each other by the paper Pony cut-outs tucked in their shirt pockets. They’d discuss the latest shenanigans of Ponies with names like Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy. Some bronies say they got hooked on the high-quality animation. Others felt they identified with the four-legged stars that flaunt luxurious, pony-tail like manes. “The characters aren’t one-dimensional,” said 15-year-old Christian Leisner, a brony in the Berkeley group. “They have flaws, they have backgrounds they’re ashamed of.” Bronies—a mash-up of “bro” and “ponies”—established a quarterly New York convention, called BroNYCon, this year. They’ve spawned at least two Pony-themed websites and enjoy a thriving subculture of artists whose creations include Pony-inspired music and their own writings about Twilight Sparkle and the gang. Jessica Blank, a 32-year-old computer programmer who is BroNYCon’s organizer, says people inevitably ask her whether the bronies—threequarters of whom are male—are gay. “Actually, the overwhelming majority are straight,” she says. Bronies say their hobby has nothing to do with their sexuality or gender. “I don’t care about showing to the world that I am masculine,” says Jason Subhani, a 19-year-old college student in Astoria, N.Y. A Pony poster on his bedroom wall mingles with images of heavy-metal icons. At the recent informal Berkeley gathering, Quinn Johnson, an 18-yearold freshman at the city’s University of California campus, showed a Rubik’s cube he had customized with homemade “My Little Pony” stickers. Michael Boveda, a 16-year-old high-school junior, proffered a plastic Pony carefully transported in a plastic food container. “I didn’t want to ruin the hair,” he explained. The group included four “Pegasisters,” as the small minority of female bronies sometimes call themselves in this male-dominated world. Voices escalated, and Ohad Kanne, a 27-year-old studying videogame design, crossed to the TV and turned up the volume on “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.” It wasn’t supposed to be this way. When Hasbro Inc. and Discovery Communications Inc. revived the “My Little Pony” franchise on a new television network called The Hub, an executive told investors the remake was for “the three- to six-year-old girl and her mom, who has fond memories of ‘My Little Pony’ from her childhood.” The Ponies confront knotty challenges—such as an invasion of adorable but hungry insects called Parasprites—and report to a ruler Continued on Page 3 99 4 cu. ft.

I think there must be a local, state, or federal mandate that insures there is a “Gladys Kravitz” per number of households and within a proximity of service. If you are too young or don’t remember the original “Bewitched” series with Elizabeth Montgomery, Gladys was the old biddy nosy neighbor to end all nosy neighbors. You see this type of character in almost all Hollywood movies and television series. During casting calls for these films, the category of “Old Biddy Nosey Neighbor” must draw a line of wonderful character actors and actresses. One comes to mind, Kathleen Freeman, who has been in so many movies and shows typecast as this personality, she must; as Liberace stated: “Laugh all the way to the bank.” My “Gladys Kravitz” lives across the street and a couple of houses down. Her front and kitchen bay window give her an unrestricted view of my front door, lawn, and mailbox. Like all good surveillance personnel, she must keep a diary of every one’s com- ings, goings, and daily routines. Her day, kicks into high gear, when she sees the postman has finished his daily stuffing of our boxes with 80% sales materials, 15% charity brochures asking for money, 4% bills, and 1% mail you really wanted/needed & expected to receive last month, but somehow it just arrived in a very crumpled and muddy state of disarray. My mailbox journey from the front door takes 15 seconds. I, then spend another 5 or 10 seconds, insuring all the mail is mine, before initiating the return trip of 15 seconds back to safety of my house. Less than a minute, but several times a week, as I turn to return, there’s my Gladys. Her staccato monologue had started half way across the street and completely out of my range of hearing. How this elderly and allegedly feeble woman can cross that distance in such short time; would be the envy of every teenage Sonic delivery girl on roller skates. Yesterday, I inadvertently got my revenge. Working at home, doing research for clients and writing, I, like all virtual office (work at home) individuals, tend to be lax in my dress code. Let’s be honest, I work a lot of mornings in my PJ’s and if I don’t have to leave the Country Comments Continued from Page 2 named Princess Celestia about the life lessons they learn. This is the sort of thing discussed at Equestria Daily, a brony website with links to such enthusiast-pleasers as free Pony coloring books. Shaun Scotellaro, its 23-year-old founder, says he cut back on his community-college classes to run the site out of his parents’ house in Glendale, Ariz., and has since become a cult hero. “Growing up, ‘My Little Pony’ was basically on my list, being a boy, of things I’d probably hate,” says Mr. Subhani, the college student from Queens. Then he found the remake, he says, and “before I knew it, I was going on Equestria Daily more than any other news website.” Mr. Subhani tried to get his rock-band mates to play some Ponyinspired covers. They declined, so he formed a new band of bronies called Neighslayer, in which he plays guitar-heavy renditions of such “My Little Pony” songs as “Art of the Dress.” The show’s producers have caught on to the phenomenon. This September, “My Little Pony” supervising director Jayson Thiessen was a special guest at BroNYCon, which drew 300 bronies to a studio in Chinatown. Mr. Thiessen, 33, addressed a raucous crowd of men, Neighslayer performed and the guy in the best Pony costume won an award. Later, Mr. Thiessen wrote on Twitter that the enthusiasm “completely floored me!” In an email, a Hasbro spokeswoman said of the bronies: “From what we’ve seen, they are a small group of ‘My Little Pony’ fans who don’t necessarily fit what one might expect to be the brand’s target audience.” Sales of “My Little Pony” merchandise are growing, says Hasbro, which declined to provide figures or comment on who, exactly, is buying the stuff. The Hub Chief Executive Margaret Loesch said she is aware of the show’s strong following among young males, but says the majority of adult viewers are still overwhelmingly female. “I think part of why it resonates is the funky, flying mystical creatures,” she says. “The combination of plenty of action and heart gives it broad appeal.” Some bronies disdain Hasbro’s Pony figurines, which they find too commercial and not “show-accurate.” A pet peeve: On TV, Princess Celestia is a heavenly white, but the toy is cotton-candy pink. So the bronies frequently buy unofficial merchandise from each other, including treasures such as pipe-cleaner Ponies. Leaving the Berkeley gathering, bronies discussed loved ones’ reactions. “My sisters say, ‘What’s wrong with you?’ “ said Mr. Kanne, who wore a Pony T-shirt. “Luckily, we have this community that understands.” — Vauhini Vara & Ann Zimmerman Wall Street Journal —CC— And finally, my “Favorite story of the week” from Aimee Kent . . . My 12-year-old daughter asked me, “Mom do you have a baby picture of yourself? I need it for a school project.” I gave her one without thinking to ask what the project was. A few days later I was in her classroom for a parent-teacher meeting when I noticed my face pinned to a mural the students had created. The title of their project was “The oldest thing in my house.” house, I shower and shave (if I shave) later in the day or before bed. Lazy, maybe, but it sure beats last years $100 per month dry cleaning bill. I digress. It was mid morning and I was still dressed in my PJ’s. It was time for the dog’s routine of anointing my wife’s Petunia bed. I anticipate from this natural fertilization, these small flowers should grow to the size of jumbo elephant ear plants. Suddenly, there was Gladys. The dog, frightened, jumped and barked, before attempting to run for the front door. We were trapped. Evidently today’s subject was health and surgeries. As she prattled on, the dog gave me the look of curiosity, by turning his head and telepathically begging to escape. I was obliged to smile, nod, and give the obligatory: “Wow that sounds awful, I’m glad you are feeling better.” By this time the dog is asleep at my feet. The monologue turned to her latest surgery and I sternly but politely declined to examine her scar. Gladys then said: “You know your pajamas are on backward.” No, I did not realize I had made such a faux pas; but the gauntlet had been thrown down, so I had to respond. “Of course, Gladys, I’m sure in this day and age of water conservation and cut backs to every one’s budget, you would agree, it’s imperative we save anywhere we can.” “So, I wear my PJ’s correctly for a week or so, then backward for a week or so, then inside out correctly, for a week or so, then inside out and backward for a week or so.” “Just think of all the water, and money we save.” “It also works great for underwear.” “You and your husband should try it.” It worked. Gladys was speechless. Appalled but speechless. I started walking backwards toward the door. The dog must have thought it was game; as he was walking backwards on his leash. Gladys was still silent with her mouth agape as I left. “Oh, one more thing you have to remember Gladys. When your pants are on backward you to walk and do everything in reverse.” Hello” was the last word she heard from me as I closed the door. The Moral to this story. If you think Reverse Mortgages are powerful, try wearing your pants backward to rid yourself of unwanted neighbors, relatives who have over stayed their welcome, or those pesky blind dates.

She was born December 15, 1943 in Marshalltown, Iowa to the late Harvey Sr. and Wilma Angle. She married Robert “Butchie” Butcher on February 2, 1963. She is survived by her husband Robert Butcher of Lamar; three sons, Barry Butcher of Mesquite, Texas, Larry (Karen) Butcher of Mesquite, Texas, and Merlin “Todd” (Gayle) Butcher of Sanger, Texas; one sister, Mary Eash of Marshalltown, Iowa; three brothers, Harvey Jr. of Kingston, Jerry (Annette) Angle of Gilman, Iowa, and Terry (Rebecca) of Gilman, Iowa; seven grandchildren, Julianne, Jennifer, Jack, James, Chloe Jane, Chris (Whitney) Ryals and LaShawn (David) Marsh; and four great grandchildren, Brooke, Alexia, Jaxon and Landon. She also leaves behind numerous loving relatives and friends. Lu is also preceded in death by her three sisters, Pauline Tuttle, Jean Curry, Emily Himes, and brother, Ron- ald Angle. Lu and her family moved to Allen, Texas in 1976. After Robert retired in 1995, she and Robert built a house in Kingston (Lake Texoma), Oklahoma, where Luella later retired in 2005. Following her retirement, they purchased a farm in Lamar. They traveled between the two, enjoying a life of peaceful farm living and relaxing by the lake. Lu’s passion and delight was her family and friends. She loved to cook and enjoyed entertaining with her friends. She also loved collecting elephants, gardening, canning and being outdoors. Lu was a star recorder for the Loyal Women of the Moose in Marshalltown, Iowa. Even after leaving office, she remained active with the lodge whenever possible. A memorial gathering for family and friends will be held at The Moose Lodge on March 9, 2013 from 10 AM to 2 PM in Marshalltown, Iowa, and on March 23, 2013 from 12 PM to 4 PM at 1601 Nance Rd, Kingston, Oklahoma.

Oh, my gosh!” A more practical thought struck Brittany during her personal concert. “Don’t fall off the stool,” she remembers thinking. Luckily, her falls were limited to her grand entrance to the stage. Could this night possibly get any better? Yes. Yes it could. “He sang to me and then he handed me his guitar,” she recalls. “Thanks for being such a great fan,” Kid Rock said. Thrilled at the gift, Brittany would have liked one more present from the singer. “I should have snuck a kiss in ... or a hug ... but I was starstruck! I love Kid. It was the first time in my life I think I’ve ever been speechless!” As a regular concert attendee, Brittany sees other acts. She is not just a Kid Rock stalker. However, this latest experience at the BOK is, by far, her best concert experience. “I have been back stage at a Buck Cherry and Shinedown concert,” she said. “But I have never serenaded by someone as special as Kid Rock.” When questioned about her favorite Kid Rock song, she sounds like the mother with a bunch of children. She finds it impossible to single out a favorite. “They all rock,” she said. “There are too many to choose from. They are all my favorite. I am pretty fond to Cowboy. My father and uncle are hog farmers. When he sings “I can smell a pig from a mile away” it kind of touches home for my family. Oh, and “God Bless Saturday” is another one that I love because God definitely blessed that Saturday for me!” Hughes County’s newest celebrity isn’t all about music. She proudly reflects on her roots. She was born in Fresno, California, and lived there for a decade. “My family moved to Holdenville from Chowchilla, California, when I was 10 years old,” she said. “I grew up in Horntown, actually. I graduated from Moss High School in 2005. I played softball and basketball and was coached by Mr. (Bob) Sifers, who is very dear to me and the best coach around. We won state my senior year.” Following high school, she went on to college at East Central University. She is currently a bartender at Vintage 22 Wine and Dessert Bar in Ada. No doubt, she’s now the most famous bartender at the establishment. On a more personal note, Brittany gushes while discussing her parents and three brothers. “My family is very important to me and we are all very close. I was raised by the best parents a girl could ask for - Eddie and Kim Robinson. They are high school sweethearts that are great role models and amazing people all-around. My parents are wonderful. They are seriously the best people I know. My mother is like my best friend; we are two peas in a pod. My father is the sweetest, best guy I have ever met. My three brothers are very special to me - Tanner, 24; Cody, 18; and Liddon, 13. They are such amazing young men that are very dear to me. They HOLDENVILLE TRIBUNE—MARCH 6, 2013—PAGE 5 Robinson Family all work for my dad and my uncle. Tanner recently graduated from Oklahoma State and Cody is a senior at Moss High School. Liddon Ryder is a 7th grader there and probably the best hunter around this area.” The Robinson family understands and appreciates Brittany’s obsession with Kid Rock. However, her unidentified boyfriend may not be as thrilled with her obvious infatuation for the singer. “He probably thinks I’m a little crazy for all the love I have for Kid Rock,” she said. “But he will just have to deal with it! Kid Rock is my man! I love him. Always have … and always will!” Brittany is a ‘convicted’ Kid Rock fan. However, she is not the only Robinson with that condition. “My whole family is huge Kid Rock fans,” she said. “My parents and my uncle, Rich Robinson, and my aunt, Cara Robinson, go on Kid Rock cruises. They have been almost every year. They love Kid Rock. They may love him more than me! My next goal is to be on that ship!” Whether by land or sea, there are surely more Kid Rock concerts in Brittany’s future. In the meanwhile, she can sit back and strum her guitar … and remember that magical night she received a one-onone concert from her all-time favorite singer. --- AUTO SALES r u o y r o f s e r a icle ut c We veh & o de i s in ASE Certified Technician on Duty See us for: • Oil Changes • Tires • Flats Fixed • Detailing COUPON $20off With this All Transmission Flushes C oupon We know you will be happy with our Sales & Service Come by and see us!!

LARGE SELECTION ALL MAKES AND MODELS BUY HERE - PAY HERE BANK FINANCING - WAC HOLDENVILLE TRIBUNE—MARCH 6, 2013—PAGE 9 from Dayna’s Desk As you have noticed, on pages 6 and 7 of this week’s paper, we featured a 1933 full page ad honoring local members of the BPW Club. We also found a news item about Marie Payne, who was a BPW Lady of the Year in 1957. Charles Kemmerer, who wrote a column for the news called “Both Sides of the Track” wrote the following. Both Sides of the Tracks Marie L. Payne was truly a Pioneer woman. The PAYNE family moved from Tecumseh, Nebraska to a farm near Tecumseh, OK, upon the encouragement of a missionary uncle who was a Presbyterian minister to the Indians—this was late in the 19th Century. MISS MARIE was one of a family of five who actually traveled to Oklahoma by train, hack and covered wagon. The father cut native oak trees to build his one-room home—the floor was earthen. In this oneroom home the Payne family began their Oklahoma sojourn. Neighbors helped to build the small hand-hewn log school house, one room, called Oak Grove. Immediately people of all faiths built the Union Church in the new Tecumseh. The Payne family has never been ashamed of their meager beginnings, for in those days all pioneer families shared the same difficulties and had the same opportunities. The Payne family cleared their own land, with the help of the children. Marie Payne was a twin—her brother John lives in Austin, Texas, and is prominent in Newspaper circles, another brother is a Kansan—a university professor. William is an Oklahoma City drilling contractor and civic leader. Another sister, Mrs. Edith Chastain resides in Oklahoma City. Marie Payne’s education was hard-come-by. She naturally got her start in the oneroom school at Tecumseh. Then with the aid of relatives in Oklahoma City, she completed the 8th grade, then came back to teach in Guinea Ridge (ten miles from her home). The young teacher rode sidesaddle weekly to visit her farm home. Her salary was $25.00 per month. Little, slightly built Marie had her disciplinary problems with the rough boys of that neighborhood, but ship of our local RMA, but she composed of many fine friends soon she managed to become often said: “Holdenville has and here I intend to stay.” master. After several years she been good to me, the town is enrolled in summer sessions at Central State College at Edmond. Marie later taught here in Holdenville from about 1906 until she became elected to the City Clerk’s office, which place she held for several terms. She then became private secretary to the late W.M. Taylor who was President of the First National Bank, here. Marie Payne helped organize our church y r e t a c s u and became the first secretary Let ! rge parties la d n a s g of the Holdenville Retail Meroutin chants Association, which position she filled well until stricken shortly before her untimely Monday - Thursday 11-8 • Friday - Saturday 11-9 death in 1958.

PAGE 10—HOLDENVILLE TRIBUNE—MARCH 6, 2013 One Pharmacist’s View...by Wayne Bullard, Pharm D I pushed the button on the poolside elevator and as I went in, this chicken went with me. We both turned and faced the door, waiting for it to close. When we got to my floor, the chicken got off with me and disappeared down the outside hallway. She seemed to know where she was and I asked no questions. I decided then and there I was going to be keeping a close eye on the chickens in Key West. Perhaps they were reincarnated humans getting another chance for life down in Florida. I was at the Doubletree Hotel at the time about 9 years ago. I remember it well because it had a rather large pool out back, elevators that opened to the outside, and that chicken.

After that I tried not to notice the chickens that seemed to be all over Key West. The next day, try as I might, I couldn’t help but notice them. At an outdoor restaurant two joined us for lunch. Before I could shoo her away a curious hen had hopped up into the adjoining chair, straining her neck to see what I was eating. Signs around the place advised us “Please don’t feed the chickens” I didn’t. I asked the scowling waiter what the deal was on the chickens. He replied, “I hate them but down here the idiots have passed a law protecting them. We can do nothing.” The waiter was right. The people of Key West are idiots. It seems that several years ago someone brought chickens to Key West and then just turned them loose.

It remains to be seen if the liberals will tolerate this outrageous violation of chicken rights but I understand a meeting of “Save the Chickens” will convene next Wednesday in the dining area of the local KFC. Meanwhile, I saw the “hotel” chicken once more before checking out and heading north. She was getting on an elevator. I guess it lived there. Have a good week and be sure and do a good deed for a chicken this week. By all means be sure and attend your church this Sunday.

I will have my BCBS provider number within three weeks and those patients can expect reimbursements within forty-five days. Thank you for your patience, referrals and continued trust.” Dr. L. Kay Arthur, D.C. ens were just wandering all over the place and Key West residents ignored them — for a while. Finally the city council passed an ordinance to deal with the problem and hired a chicken catcher. For one thing, the city fathers failed to realize that chickens not only have rights but they have feelings too. Liberal thinkers started harboring the fugitive chickens and said “Chickens don’t like being denied the right to walk the streets and to exist. They didn’t like having their feelings hurt and or to be killed and eaten.” Besides, after a month at work the “catcher” had only caught two chickens and had them in his back yard—not knowing what to do with them. The city fired him and someone let the two chickens out. In two years the chickens had, again, doubled in population and the city decided “No more Mr. Nice Guy.” A new and faster chicken catcher was put to work. But what do you do if with them if you can’t kill ‘em or eat ‘em. A prison camp was provided, goals set and a plan was underway. The plan? A census was taken and a population cap placed on the chickens by the “Nazi-like” police of Key West. A minimum of 200 roosters and 500 hens would be rounded up by Gestapo chicken police annually and the hapless chickens would be loaded up Office hours M&W 9 to 7 T&Th 9 to 1 IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF HUGHES COUNTY STATE OF OKLAHOMA Case No. PB-2013-5 In the Matter of the Estates of BETTY (McCOSAR) HARJO, CARNEGIE HARJO, and BETTY JO HARJO, All Deceased.
