Carl Albert State College President Gary M.
Ivey said although anticipated budget cuts to the
college “doesn’t look
great,” the college will
“continue making up the
deficit by providing quality
education.”
Ivey spoke to the CASC
Regents during their regular meeting Tuesday at the
college. He spoke on reductions in funding and said
increases in healthcare
costs, federal regulations
and state regulations and
further reductions possible
throughout the year will
hurt the school’s budget,
but an increase in student
attendance will “help offset
some cuts.”
“CASC is about providing quality education within our community — and
sometimes outside,” he told
regents, and stressed the
need for investments to be
made in higher education
to better ensure future economic growth for the state.
Ivey said the college can
help make up some cuts by
student growth. Jay Falkner,

A 28-year-old man from Heavener has been accused of cutting
a woman’s throat in early January, earning him a felony charge.
The District Attorney’s Office

with assault and battery with a
dangerous weapon.
Heavener Police Detective
Larry Loomis said he went to a
home on Townsend in Heavener
at 10:50 a.m. Jan. 8 on a reported

Michael Howard and the victim,
Laura Haynes, with blood on her
throat and shirt. She said Paul

associate vice president of
enrollment management,
said the school has seen a
growth of more than 100
students.
“It’s very encouraging
when headed into the
future,” Falkner said. He
said there also has been an
increase of more than 50
percent in graduation numbers comparing fall-to-fall
semesters with a decline in
non-traditional students
and a rise in traditional student enrollment.
Judi White, director of
public relations and marketing, said in her report
that 22 applications have
been received for president
of CASC after Ivey
announced his retirement.
She said the search committee plans to conduct
interviews throughout February and said it is impera-
tive to conduct interviews
quickly so the incoming
president will have a chance
to train with Ivey.
In other business, an
internal audit report by
Tony Crouch, vice president of business operations,
had “no findings.” Regents
approved a bid to remodel
floor and wall tile at the
Costner-Balentine Student
Center restroom. Regents
approved the deletion of
the need for an orientation
class for those seeking a
child development certificate, and approved an
increase in academic fees
regarding certain occupational, remedial and other
courses to help offset costs.

Crouch said many of the

The Refuge Ministry has a free community

third Thursday of the month.
The Refuge is located in the old Panama

The new Dobson Technologies
sales and support center on Broadway in Poteau is set to open its doors
Monday.
The public is invited to visit the
store, meet with employees and learn
about what services the company
will provide for homes and business
and register for introductory offers.
Services are expected to be commercially available by mid to late spring,
Dobson Technologies said.
“We believe Poteau fits perfectly as
a community we want to serve,” said
Dobson President Frank Franzese.
“Our goal is to deliver dependable
Internet service by spring 2016 that
meet the needs of the businesses and
residences of Poteau, allowing them
to enjoy the same online services and
benefits as subscribers in larger, urban markets.”
The center is located at 2208 N.
Broadway.
“What differentiates Dobson from
other providers is that we are an established, family-owned Oklahoma
business,” said Poteau Community
Manager Theresa Lovins. “We live,
play and work here and have a vested
interest in the success of the community because it’s our community
too.”
Dobson is a technology firm operating a 2,500-mile statewide fiber
optic network, according to a press

several fiber-fed wireless towers in
this area.
A Dobson press release said, “The
availability of fast, reliable and affordable Internet service in non-urban markets is part of the company’s
‘Dobson Communities’ initiative.
Dobson’s approach is to connect these

Police Chief Ty Armstrong found Paul
Howard walking along Townsend Street
with blood on him. He said the suspect
said he was Satan, was visibly upset and
said he did “some bad stuff last night.”
Armstrong reported Paul had several
superficial wounds on his abdomen. He
was taken into custody.
While in Loomis’ vehicle, court records
alleged Paul began to kick the interior of
the car, scream for help, stated “they were
trying to kill him,” said his father was
Satan and had told him to kill her or he
was going to be harmed with a screwdriver
and killed.
Michael Howard told police that Paul
Howard had stabbed Haynes and they had
wrestled the knife away from him, which
was found at the scene, court records
show.
Other reporting officers included Heavener Police Officer Paul Puckett and Joe
Worley.
Paul was taken to the LeFlore County
Detention Center, where he is being held
on $100,000 bond.

You have often heard that there is power in numbers,
but you also have heard that “the squeaky wheel gets the
grease.” To get your voice heard, sometimes you have to
gather those who are like-minded, travel to Washington
and let your voice be heard.
That is what supporters of the right to life are doing
Friday in the annual March for Life. Those making the
trip will rally on the grounds of the Washington Monument
and then make a reflective march on Constitution Avenue
to show support for the unborn. They will listen to firsthand accounts of the pain suffered by mothers who underwent abortions and hear about the hope these same mothers found in healing.
Those making the trip will also visit with me and other
members of Congress to make their voices heard.
During these visits, I will share that we have had a lot
of wins recently in Washington, but we have not been
able to provide the full protection of life. It is not that we
haven’t been working on it.
We sent a bill to the president’s desk that repeals parts
of Obamacare and stops abortion providers, like Planned
Parenthood, from being able to receive federal funds
through Medicaid and Title X programs. The president
vetoed this bill like we expected he would.
Later this month, we will be working to override his
veto; however, even if we are not able to get the numbers
for the override, the fact that we were able to get this bill
to the president’s desk is very important. Americans from
all over the country have spent the last six months making
sure their elected officials know it is unacceptable for any
abortion provider to receive one cent of federal funding,
period — no matter what other health services they provide. We made sure their voices were heard by getting a
bill to the president’s desk that blocks abortionists from
receiving funding from all federal programs.
So what did we learn? Two things: First, we know that
this president will never budge on his pro-abortion stance.
Second, we now have proof that if Republicans maintain
control of the House and Senate, there is no reason why
we would not be able to pass this bill through Congress
under a Republican president.
This is why November matters. As the March for Life
gets underway this week in Washington, a similar march
will get underway that evening in Tulsa with the theme:
Every Life is Sacred. As our friends and neighbors gather
at both locations to make a public stand for their beliefs,
we must do all that we can to join in the fight for those
shared values and beliefs and ensure that every life is
sacred.
The March for Life is a call for an end to abortion. It is
held annually to mark the anniversary of the 1973 Roe v.
Wade decision, with the hope that someday it will be
overturned.
I will join those who are making this march by continuing the fight. I promise to continue working to protect
the unborn by ensuring that no health care group that also
performs abortions receives federal dollars. My fight for
the unborn will never end.
In 2016, genocide is taking place and it must end.
The New Year begins,
mass killings continue and
the United States government
has yet to declare what is happening in Iraq and Syria
“genocide.”
By now, the evidence is
overwhelming: ISIS is systematically
eradicating
Yazidis, Christians, Shia
Muslims and other ethnic and
religious minorities in territories controlled by the terrorist
group.
What’s at stake is more
than a question of semantics:
A declaration of genocide has
significant legal and moral
implications that would
require the United States —
and like-minded countries —
to do whatever it takes to
rescue the refugees and end
the killing.
At this point in human history, we should know genocide when we see it. In the
aftermath of the Holocaust
— and in the idealistic hope
of preventing another one —
the United Nations adopted
the Genocide Convention,
defining genocide as “acts
committed with intent to
destroy, in whole or in part, a
national, ethnic, racial or reli-

country founded on the principles of religious freedom
— as defined by the First
Amendment
to
the
Constitution — America has
a moral responsibility to lead
the world by making every
effort to stop genocide and
rescue the victims.
During World War II, the
U.S. government was slow to
act — a delay with tragic
consequences. Although the
War Refugee Board created
by President Franklin
Roosevelt in 1944 is credited
with saving 200,000 lives, for
many Jews it was too little,
too late: Thousands more
who might have been saved
were exterminated by the
Nazis.
Genocide is the “crime of
all crimes” and should only
be designated after careful
deliberation. But we now
know that Christians, Yazidis
and other groups are not simply victims of war; they are
targets of eradication much
like the Jews during the
Holocaust.
We have numerous first
hand accounts and images of
beheadings, kidnappings,
rape, torture and enslavement
— more than enough evidence to declare ISIS guilty
of genocide under international law.
Of course, a declaration of
genocide will not, in and of
itself, do much to end the killing. But genocide is a call to
action unlike any other, obligating the world to make
every effort to save those facing extermination. First and
foremost, the U.S. and other
countries must immediately
ramp up efforts to rescue the
thousands of people fleeing
religious persecution.
Other strategies, including
additional military and diplomatic options for ending the
genocide, will be hotly debated, especially in this election
year. But given the magnitude and urgency of the crisis,
we should at least agree that
more can and must be done.
Past declarations of genocide by the international community have served to stir the
conscience of the civilized
world. Now, once again, it is
time to call genocide “genocide” — and remind the
world that “never again” must
truly mean never again.
Time is running out for
thousands of Christians,
Yazidis and other religious
minorities in Iraq and Syria.
In the blunt words of Pope
Francis, “genocide is taking
place and it must end.”
Charles C. Haynes is vice
president of the Newseum
Institute and founding director of the Religious Freedom
Center.

gious group.”
Last November, a report
issued by the Holocaust
Museum documented the
attempt by ISIS to exterminate the Yazidis, describing in
detail the mass killings and
sexual slavery inflicted on
that community as well as on
Christians and other religious
minorities.
After the report was
released, the U.S. State
Department indicated that a
genocide designation for ISIS
was imminent. But as the
New Year begins, it remains
unclear when that will happen — and if the designation
will be confined to the attacks
on Yazidis or will include
Christians and other groups.
Meanwhile on Capitol
Hill, a bipartisan group of
lawmakers is urging passage
of a House resolution expressing the sense of Congress that
by targeting Christians,
Yazidis and other religious
and ethnic groups and committing atrocities against these
groups, ISIS is committing
war crimes, crimes against
humanity and genocide.
The “sense of Congress”
resolution should be the official policy of the United
States government. As a
maybe. OK, that’s pretty
vague and not what most
want to hear, but you have to
understand a few things first.
1. If
it’s in the
Individualized Education
Program that your child
requires a paraprofessional
then they cannot cut this
without violating the IEP.
Don’t forget that this is a
binding contract and this
would be a violation of the
Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act. If your school
has agreed that your child
needs someone to assist them
throughout the day, and it has
been signed off on in the IEP
then they cannot retract that,
at least not without a meeting
to discuss and agree upon
with the entire team. Though
there is slightly more to this,
in a nutshell this is the way
the law reads.
2. Make sure what your
IEP says. If it says that the
child must have a para for the
entire day then that is what
they are required to provide.
However, if your IEP only
states that the child requires a
para to help with bathroom
breaks and at recess then that
is all they have to provide. It
is only as specific, or not, as it
is stated in that IEP.
3. If it is not in the IEP, and
Pervasive Parenting
Kodey Toney
your child has a general paraprofessional for the classroom
that they are in, then the
school can terminate that service as they see fit.
This of course is not what
is needed. The children need
as much assistance as they
can get throughout the day to
help with certain aspects of
their education. Don’t forget
though that they only need to
provide what is necessary.
The child needs to learn to be
interdependent not dependent
on the para. They need to be
working to do as much for
themselves as possible without assistance, and the para
only intervenes when needed.
If I’m looking for a silver
lining then there are parts of
this that could be a good
thing. If it was not in the IEP,
and your child loses their
aide, then this could help
them become more independent. After all, as I’ve always
said, the job of a paraprofessional is to work themselves
out of a job, and make the
child less dependent upon
assistance.
If you are concerned, I
would suggest is checking
the IEP to make sure what
itspecifies as far as a paraprofessional is concerned. If it
doesn’t say that it is a fulltime position then I would
call an IEP meeting and see if
you can get it added. The
problem is that right now it’s
going to be difficult to get the
schools to include this if they
are trying to cut budgets.
If you need assistance in
any aspect of this, you need
someone to look over the
IEP, need someone to advocate in the IEP meeting or
have any questions, don’t
hesitate to contact me at

Oklahoma’s
4-H delegation poses
at the 96th
Denver
Western
Roundup,
held Jan.
6-10.
LeFlore
County was
represented
by Mary
Stewart of
Wister.
Wister 4-H’er attends Denver Western Roundup
A group of Oklahoma 4-H’ers,
Oklahoma State University
Cooperative Extension county
educators, volunteer leaders and
state staff traveled recently to
Colorado to take part in the 96th
Denver Western Roundup.
Attending from LeFlore
County was Mary Stewart, who
is a member of the Wister 4-H
Club. She is the daughter of
Keith and Kim Stewart of Wister.
More than 900 students from
more than 30 states and Alberta,
Canada, attended this year’s
event, which took place Jan.
6-10 in Denver. The conference
takes place annually in January
and coincides with the National
Western Stock Show.
The theme for this year’s Denver Western Roundup was Mission I’mPossible: License to
Lead, and the goal of the conference was to have delegates go
home with the necessary confidence and skills to be successful
leaders in their self-determined
future.
The 4-H Program is known
for providing its members with
many different opportunities to
experience personal growth and
continue the development of
their leadership and citizenship
skills, said Tracy Beck, Oklahoma State University Cooperative
Extension 4-H events coordinator.
“Through the innovative
workshops and competitions,
Denver Western Roundup is a
great opportunity for our club
members to learn new skills
while continuing to work on others,” Beck said. “While in Denver, our members learned about
new careers and shared personal
experiences with others regarding their own growth and development, all while making new
friends.”
Denver Western Roundup also
serves as a platform for youth to
compete nationally and encouraging teamwork and self-confidence, while focusing on the 4-H
mission mandates of science,
healthy living and citizenship.
Denver Western Roundup also
featured a number of competitive
events. Susan Weckler, Karen
Weckler and Claire Ringer, all
4-H’ers from Payne County,
brought home top team honors in
the FCS Skill-A-Thon. The trio
also placed as the top three individuals in the competition.
Kay and Grady counties were
represented in the livestock team
and meats team judging competitions, respectively.
The Oklahoma 4-H Youth
Development Program offers
many opportunities for students
to travel, and taking part in Denver Western Roundup gives the
state’s delegates a chance to see
a different part of the country.
“One of the great things about
traveling to events such as Denver Western Roundup is that our
youth get an opportunity to do
some sightseeing and experience
the local culture,” Beck said.
“Some of the side trips included
skiing at Winter Park Ski Resort,
visiting Garden of the Gods, the
Air Force Academy and Pikes
Peak. The educational tours and
entertainment provide service
learning and community based
learning opportunities for all delegates.”
“Oklahoma 4-H’ers are
extremely fortunate to be able to
participate in such quality experiences as Denver Western
Roundup,” Beck said.
Farmers cut back on winter wheat
By Roxana Hegeman
Associated Press
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — U.S.
farmers planted fewer acres into winter wheat last fall as growers in topproducing states, including Kansas,
cut back on the crop, a government
report shows.
The National Agricultural Statistics Service estimated the nation’s
seeded area for this year’s crop at
36.6 million acres, down 7 percent
from a year ago. The agency did not
indicate the reasons for the decline,
but the industry group Kansas Wheat
said Tuesday a combination of things
likely factored into the decision by
growers to seed fewer acres, including lower prices for the crop, which is
planted in the fall and harvested in
the spring and summer.
In Kansas, the nation’s top wheatproducing state, winter wheat acres
are down 8 percent to 8.5 million
acres.
Marsha Boswell, spokeswoman
for Kansas Wheat, said one reason
for the fewer acres could be because
of a rainy fall the state had. That
delayed the soybean harvest because
farmers couldn’t get combines into
those wet fields. Since many Kansas
farmers double-crop their fields, the
delayed harvest of soybeans meant
some farmers couldn’t get back into
those fields in time to plant their 2016
winter wheat crop.
“We expected them to be down,”
Boswell said of the government’s
wheat planting estimate. “But I was a
bit surprised they were as down as
they were.”
Also likely factoring into the planting numbers is the profitability of the
various crops.
“Prices have been going downward, so that probably affected plant-
ed acres as well,” Boswell said.
Other top wheat-producing states
also had lower acreages. Texas planted just 5.3 million acres, down 12
percent. Oklahoma seeded 4.9 million acres, an 8 percent drop. Colorado and Montana are both down
with 2.25 million wheat acres each.
The report shows that most of the
winter wheat grown in the United
States is hard red winter.
The U.S. Agriculture Department
said its estimate of 26.5 million acres
nationwide for hard red winter is
down 9 percent from a year ago, with
the biggest declines in planted acreage in the Great Plains states. A
record low acreage was seeded in
Nebraska, the agency said.
Estimates for the other winter
wheat types included 6.72 million
acres of soft red winter wheat and
3.43 million acres of white winter
wheat nationwide.
Newest ARMS survey beginning
OKLAHOMA CITY —
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s
National
Agricultural Statistics Service will be contacting
farmers and ranchers across
the nation during the first
quarter of the new calendar
year to conduct the Agricultural Resource Management Survey.
The survey allows farmers and ranchers an opportunity to provide their
information used in shaping the policies, programs
and issues that affect their
industry.
“ARMS petitions a
small, but representative,
sample of producers inquiring about their operation
characteristics in order to
compose a current financial
state of U.S. agriculture,”
said Wilbert Hundl, director of the NASS Southern
Plains Regional Field
Office. “Government and
agriculture leaders use this
information to make decisions that impact the future
of farmers, their families,
their businesses, and their
communities,
making
ARMS results crucial to
Oklahoma agriculture.”
NASS representatives
will gather information
through early spring. To
obtain the most accurate
data, NASS will reach out
to nearly 40,000 producers
nationwide,
including
slightly more than 500 in
Oklahoma. The survey asks
producers to provide data
on their operating expenditures, production costs and
household characteristics.

agencies, members of Congress and state and local
officials use the information

FDA clears genetically modified potato
By Keith Ridler
Associated Press
BOISE, Idaho — A potato genetically engineered to
resist the pathogen that
caused the Irish potato famine is as safe as any other
potato on the market, the
Food and Drug Administration says.
In a letter Tuesday to
Idaho-based J.R. Simplot
Co., the FDA said the potato isn’t substantially different in composition or safety
from other products already
on the market, and it doesn’t
raise any issues that would
require the agency to do
more stringent premarket
vetting.
“We’re pleased and hope
that consumers recognize
the benefits once it’s introduced into the marketplace
next year,” Doug Cole, the
company’s director of marketing and communications, said Wednesday.
Before the potato is marketed to consumers, it must
be cleared by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Cole said. That’s expected to happen in December.

Poteau girls, Wister, Leflore boys post opening-round wins
Talihina girls rally in second half to stun host Lady Savages
By David Seeley
PDN Sports Editor
Seeding held true, for the most part, on Day 1 of the
84th LeFlore County Tournament on Nadine Carpenter
Court at Leflore High School.
The Poteau Lady Pirates were too much for the Bokoshe Lady Tigers in their 67-27 victory.
Both higher-seeded boys teams were victorious as the
Wister Wildcats rallied past the Cameron Yellowjackets
61-54 and the host Leflore Savages handled the Bokoshe
Tigers 71-24.
However, it only took one night to see the first upset
in the tournament as the 10th-seeded Talihina Golden Tigers rallied from a 17-point halftime deficit to upset the
seventh-seeded Leflore Lady Savages 68-61.
Girls
Poteau 67, Bokoshe 27
The Lady Pirates (6-7) scored the game's first 14 points
for a 14-0 lead in the opening period before the Lady Tigers (8-6) ended the scoring drought on Cheyenne Crase's
3-point basket midway through the period.
However, the Lady Pirates ended the period with a
10-0 run to take a 24-3 lead after a period and never look
back.
Kenzie Newman led Poteau with a game-high 14 points,
followed by Maci McMillin with eight points, Victoria
Archey with seven points, Kori Lafevers, Sunnie McConnell and Allison Stone with six points each, Myeka Bluford with four points, Kylanna Hardaway and Elle Rinne
each with three points and Darci Kuck and Lyndsi Coffey
with two points apiece.
In defeat, Crase and Kim Swindle each scored nine
points to lead Bokoshe, followed by Adriona Bowen with
four points, Rosa Vasquez and Casey Langdell with two
points each and Hunter Traylor with a free throw.
Talihina 68, Leflore 61
The Lady Savages (10-6) looked to be in complete control of the game in the opening half, leading 17-7 after a
period and 39-22 at the half.
However, the Lady Golden Tigers (4-10) came out spirited in the second half, which seem to catch the Lady Savages off guard.
Talihina outscored Leflore 24-10 in the third quarter to
cut the deficit to 49-46 entering the final period.
A 3-point basket by Haylee Himes knotted the game at
49 with 7:09 left to play. Another Himes' trey with 5:30 remaining gave Talihina its first lead of the game at 52-51.
A 3-pointer by Leflore's Masey Brannon regained
Leflore the lead at 55-52 with 4:52 left in the game.
From there, Talihina outscored Leflore 16-6 to complete the big comeback.
Mariah Crank led all scorers with 21 points — all coming in the second half — to pace Talihina, followed by
Himes with 14 points, Hailey McClain with 10 points,
Jayla Johnson with six points, Shay Hill, Melina Ludlow
and Ashley Robinson with five points each and Morgan
Burke with two points.
In defeat, Kaylee Roath scored a game-high 22 points
to lead Leflore, followed by Brannon and Shaelyn Green
with 12 points each, Ayme Warren with seven points,
Madison Vaden with six points and Hailey Brown with
two points.
Boys
Wister 61, Cameron 54
This game was nip and tuck from opening tip to final
buzzer. Neither team, until the end, had more than a fourpoint lead
The Yellowjackets (6-12) had a 19-18 lead after a period and a 34-33 halftime advantage.
Cameron had a 45-41 lead in the last minutes of the
third quarter, but the ’Cats outscored the ’Jackets 8-3 over
the remaining moments of the period to knot the game at
49 going into the final quarter.
While both teams left several points on the floor by missing free throws and point-blank shots, it was the Wildcats
who ended up surviving as they outscored the Yellowjackets 12-5 in the final period to complete the comeback.
Wister put three players into double figures, led by Kolton Lynn's 16 points, followed by Ethan Billings with 13
points and Bryar Ward with 10 points. Cash Balentine had
nine points, followed by Jake Sconyers with seven points,
Tanner Herrington with five points and Adrian Gonzales
with a free throw.
In defeat, Scottie Battice had a game-high 18 points,

period and never looked back.

Bulldogs rally past Wolves in overtime,
while Whitesboro, Wister girls win openers
Panama boys barely squeak by archrival Pocola
By Jim Marsh
Sports Correspondent
The Whitesboro Bulldogs trailed for
most of the game, but ended up rallying
in the final period and posted a 60-54
overtime win over the Heavener Wolves
in the opening round of the 84th LeFlore
County Tournament at Carl Albert State
College's Mick Thompson Fieldhouse.
The two girls higher-seeded teams,
the fifth-seeded Whitesboro Lady Bulldogs and the eight-seeded Wister Lady
Wildcats, each posted big wins. The
Lady Bulldogs broke away from a 6-all
tie with the Cameron Lady Yellowjackets after a period to end up winning going away 44-21, while the Lady ‘Cats
were able to get past the Panama Lady
Razorbacks 57-39.
In the final game of the night at this
site, archrivals Panama and Pocola went
toe to toe from opening tip to final buzzer, but in the end the Hogs held off the
Indians 43-42.
Boys
Whitesboro 60, Heavener 54, OT
Trailing 38-29 after three periods, the
Bulldogs (12-6) went into a scramble
mode in round four. They outscored
the Wolves 18-9 and just missed a game
winner at the buzzer. Ethan Adams had
seven points and Corban Culley had six
points and stroked the 3-point basket that
tied the score at 47 to force overtime.
The ’Dogs saved their best for last.
They played a complete four-minute
overtime as they scored a baker's doz-
en an held the Wolves to only seven
points. Tucker LeMay had six points and
Adams posted four to help Whitesboro
complete the comeback.
The Wolves (7-6) were the well-seasoned team and the Bulldogs started the
contest with 60 percent of their team being freshmen.
The Wolves used their inside size to
get nine points from Jordan Terry, and
Corry Duncan lingered in the corner
where he went back-to-back from the
land of 3.
The Bulldogs stuck close as Adams
scored four points. The score after one
was Heavener leading 15-10.
The Whitesboro quintet were not
bashful about shooting the ball. They
were close on a lot of shots, but the ball
seemed like it was always off the rim.
Adams scored three points in round two.
The score at halftime was 21-15 with the
Wolves on the high side.
Heavener increased its lead due to its
work in the paint. Terry was a rock down

scored five points in the quarter, and the
score after three periods was Heavener
leading 38-29.

Defending champion Spiro boys, Pocola girls pick up opening-night wins
HOWE — The Spiro Bulldogs
took the first step in their attempt
to five-peat as champions of the
84th LeFlore County Tournament
on Monday night at the Howe
Gym — but just barely.
The Bulldogs were able to get
past the pesky Arkoma Mustangs
62-56 to advance to Tuesday
night's championship quarterfinals.
The Pocola Lady Indians also
won on opening night at this site
as they were too much for the
Arkoma Lady Indians in posting
a 65-24 win.
In the boys' game, the ’Dogs
(6-7) never trailed, but they never
were able to totally put away the
Mustangs (6-9).
Spiro led 18-11 after a period,
31-25 at halftime and 46-38 going
into the final period — in which
Arkoma outscored the Bulldogs
18-16 to make the game interesting.
Braedon Howard scored 18
points and Joseph McAdoo added
13 points to lead Spiro, followed
by Toby Huff with nine points,
Deonte Reed with eight points,
Deontei Braggs with five points,
Brent Stout with four points,
Seth Haynes with three points
and Cade Blankenship with two
points.
In defeat, Kobe Ragsdale led
all scorers with a game-high 25
points to lead Arkoma, followed
by Seth Key with 19 points,
Mykiah Oosahwe with five
points, Matthew Harmon with
four points, Calvin Howington
with two points and Cash Womack with a free throw.
In the girls' contest, the Lady
Indians (10-4) put the game away
early, jumping out to a 26-3 lead
after a period and were never
headed.
Pocola put three players into
double figures, led by Morgan
Francis with 12 points and Aaillian Lyons and Cheyenne Barnes
with 10 points apiece. Lupe Galvin scored nine points, followed
by Rakell Lairamore and Gracey Lang with eight points each,
Summer Perkins with five points,
Linlee Blankenship with two
points and Lexie Billingsley with
a free throw.
In defeat, Chloe Ulrich led
the Lady Mustangs (4-10) with
nine points, followed by Madisen O'Neal with six points, Hope
Wilburn with three points and
Peytan Lamb, Gracie Johnson
and Raegan Sanders with two
points apiece.

Iowa State men knock off No. 1 OU
AMES, Iowa (AP) —
Another No. 1 team came to
the state of Iowa. Another
No. 1 team left with a loss.
Georges Niang scored 22
points, Monte Morris added
20 and No. 19 Iowa State
beat top-ranked Oklahoma
82-77 on Monday night, its
first win over a No. 1 team
since toppling Wilt Chamberlain’s Kansas Jayhawks
in 1957.
Morris had a jumper, a
key rebound and two free
throws in the final 21 seconds for the Cyclones (14-
4, 3-3 Big 12), who were
actually slight favorites at
home.
It was the third time a
No. 1 team lost in the state
of Iowa this season. Northern Iowa beat North Carolina and Iowa beat Michigan
State.
OU’s Isaiah Cousins hit
a 3-point basket with 41
seconds left to tie the game
at 75, but Morris drilled a
step-back jumper for the
lead, and Abdel Nader’s free
throws with 3.1 seconds to
go put it out of reach.
Buddy Hield scored 27
points and Cousins had 26
for the Sooners (15-2, 4-2),
who moved to No. 1 earlier
Monday for the first time
in 26 years, but they could
make a case for retaining
the top spot with a win Saturday at No. 13 Baylor.
Iowa State nearly beat
OU on the road in the Big 12
opener earlier this month.
The Cyclones led for 30
minutes, but Morris missed
a wide-open 3-pointer with
six seconds left and the
Sooners escaped 87-83.
In defeat, Terry scored 18 points and
Duncan added 17 points to lead Heavener,
followed by Chance Dunigan and Conner
Place with six points each, May with five
points and Taylor Meeks with two points.
Panama 43, Pocola 42
The battle between the Indians (3-11)
and the Razorbacks (10-3) got off to a
ragged start as both teams started at a fast
pace, but it was a combination of good defense and poor shot selection that saw Pocola lead after the first quarter by the score
of 7-6.
Gregg Fann was the leading scorer for
the Indians as he posted a 3-point basket. Zack Timms also had a conventional
three-point play to pace the Hogs.
The second quarter was almost a carbon
copy of the first as both teams were playing
at a rather hectic pace with a lot of unforced
turnovers and some rough inside play.
Brandan Thompson was the leading
scorer for the Indians with seven points and
Fann was not that far behind as he stroked
two 3s. The Hogs were led by Timms and
Jeremy Loyd, each posting four points. Pocola led at the intermission by the score of
22-20.
The Razorbacks used their length and
quickness starting in the third quarter
as they rode on the shoulders of Tristan
Thompson, who single handedly carried
the Razorbacks on his back as he made numerous slashing moves through the paint
and converted six points in the third stanza. Panama gained the 31-28 lead after as
only two Indians, Brandon Thompson and
Devin Hewes, could count points for Pocola as each scored a trey.
Panama did not relinquish the lead in
the final quarter. Several times Pocola got
within a point, but the Indians could never
get over the hump.
Again, Tristan Thompson led the Razorbacks with seven points.
The tag team of Hewes and Thompson
led the Indians in scoring with five points
apiece.
Trailing by a point with less 10 seconds,
the Indians had four shots to win the game,
including a 3-pointer at the buzzer, but all
attempts missed the mark — and the Hogs
survived to reach Tuesday night's championship quarterfinals against top-seeded
Poteau.
Tristan Thompson scored a game-high
16 points to lead Panama, followed by
Conner Tackett with eight points, Timms
and Dillon Jackson with seven points each
and Loyd with five points.
In defeat, Brandon Thompson shared
game-high honors with 16 points and
Hewes added 10 points to lead Pocola,
followed by Fann with nine points, Dillion Seajack with three points and Caelum
Grober and Tatum Lomon with two points
apiece.
Girls
Whitesboro 44, Cameron 21
The first quarter was a feeling-out period as both teams had difficulties not only in
scoring but in shooting as well. The score
after one was level at 6.
The Lady Bulldogs (14-4) got into their
offense quicker than the Lady Yellowjack-
ets (5-12) in round two. Shania McKosky
paced the Lady Bulldogs with five points,
while her running mate, Lexey Branscum,
scored three as she dialed in from long distance.
Brinley Butler was the leading scorer for
Cameron in the second period as she hit a
3-point basket. The score at intermission
was Whitesboro winning 19-12.
Whitesboro was in a 2-2-1 full-court
press all game long, and in the third quarter
the Lady Bulldogs started to get separation
from the Lady ’Jackets.
The Lady Bulldogs outscored the Lady
Yellowjackets 11-7 in the third. Aubrey Arnold scored a trey for Whitesboro and the
remaining quartet scored a deuce apiece.
Loren Ford-Rogers posted a 3-pointer
and the score after three was Whitesboro
ahead 30-19.
Cameron went dormant in the scoring column in the final period as the Lady
’Jackets only scored two points while the
Lady Bulldogs posted 14. McKosky scored
half a dozen on two treys in the final period.
McKosky led Whitesboro with a gamehigh 15 points, followed by Ashten Bailey
and Breanna Gibson with seven points
each, Lizzie LeMay with five points, Branscum and Abigail Phillips each with three
points and Tori Culley and Ashton Hanebrink with two points apiece.
In defeat, Ford-Rogers and Dakotha Battice each scored five points to lead Cameron, followed by Butler, Dacey Cloud and
Amber Battice with three points each and
Abbi Hambrick with two points.
Wister 57, Panama 39
The Lady Wildcats (10-6) got a quicker
start than the Lady Razorbacks (3-11) as
they jumped out to a 13-6 first-stanza advantage. Hunter Gibson scored seven points
to lead all scorers in the opening quarter.
Wister kept the pressure on Panama, and
the Lady ’Cats increased their lead to 28-16
at the break. Gibson drained five points and
Justyn Lynn chipped in with four points to
pace Wister.
Brittnie Brassfield scored five points for
the Lady ’Backs, while Cassidy Ward had
a steal and lay-up.
Panama picked up the scoring in the
third quarter, but the Lady Razorbacks still
lost ground. The Lady ’Backs scored 11
points, but the Lady ’Cats posted 17.
Lynn led Wister with six points, while
Brassfield posted five points and Ward
posted four to lead Panama. The score after
three quarters was 45-27 in Wister's favor.
Gibson led all scorers with 15 points,
while Stevee McMillin added 11 points to
lead Wister, followed by Lynn with eight
points, Kyla Brown and Jessa Baldwin with
seven points each, Kinzie Wood with three
points and Kenzie Martin, Katie Foster and
Balie Baldwin with two points apiece.
In defeat, Brassfield led all scorers with
a game-high 16 points to lead Panama, followed by Madison Tackett with six points,
Mikah Roghermel with five points, Ward
with four points, Madison Stout, Lani
Monks and Shelby Maxwell with two
points each and Taryn Thornhill and Aubrey Powell with a free throw apiece.

Make a point to follow through
with your plans, regardless of
what other people do. You can
transform an old idea into
something profitable, given the
current economic trends. Your
ability to cut corners will help
bring about a cost-efficient
lifestyle.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Show your strengths and stand
up and be counted, but know
when to back down and keep the
peace. It's your ability to weigh
your options that will lead to
your success.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Don't allow indecisiveness to
be your downfall. Look at the
possibilities, but be realistic
regarding how much you can
actually accomplish. Limitations
will prevail if you refuse to meet
people halfway.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- Get into the game by making
personal improvements that will
update your look and add to
your qualifications. Pushing
your way to the top will take
both talent and presentation
skills.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- You'll discover a rich lode of
interesting information if you
talk to someone who has
experienced something you want
to pursue firsthand. If you listen
and learn, advancement will be
yours.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Show your stuff, but don't
make promises you cannot keep.
Put your best foot forward and
make a point to praise others
who work as hard as you do.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Keep your secrets to yourself.
Focus on what you can do to
help others. A couple of
thoughtful changes at home will
improve a personal relationship.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- Your playful mood and actions
will attract some people and
repel others. Pick and choose
who is best suited for
collaboration before you embark
on a new project.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Mix business with pleasure in
order to get a much better sense
of how you can find success.
You can make a financial or
residential move that improves
your standard of living.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Keep your thoughts to yourself
if you want to avoid a debate
with someone who will never
see things your way. Nurture a
relationship with a loved one.
Take time for a little personal
pampering.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- The more you do for others,
the more you will get in return.
You can make a difference if
you bring about change to the
way you live or act.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
-- Focus on getting things done,
instead of finding new things to
do. You'll face emotional trouble
if you evade issues or neglect to
fulfill a promise. Offer love, not
complaints.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Believe in yourself and your
ability to make things happen.
What anyone else does doesn't
matter, as long as you are happy
with the results you get.

Sense & Sensitivity
DEAR HARRIETTE: My
wife is the perfect traveling
companion. She is flexible with
schedules, always thinks of fun
activities and travels lightly. The
one thing I wish I could change
about her is her refusal to even
try to learn the language of the
country we visit, typically Latin
American countries. She insists
on speaking English, and I find it
a bit embarrassing. She claims
everyone knows at least some
English, but we've been proven
wrong more than a few times. I
want to get her to expand her
horizons, but she seems to think
English is the most universal
language on the planet. Could I
gift her Rosetta Stone for her
birthday?
– No Language Barriers,
Detroit, MI
DEAR NO LANGUAGE
BARRIERS: Try a different
approach. Consider inviting your
wife to take a language class
with you. Suggest it as a fun
activity for the two of you - kind
of like a date. Entice her with the
romanticism of learning a
language together. If you can
make it seem like a fun bonding
activity, she may consider it.
Beyond that, make sure that you
have learned as much as possible
so that you can manage
communication for the two of
you when you are abroad.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I was
on a plane recently and sat next
to a man who had atrocious body
odor. It wasn't an incredibly long
flight, but I doubt this man knew
how he smelled. I considered
saying something to him, because
By
Harriette Cole
I'd always want someone to tell
me if I had an offensive odor. I
ended up not saying anything
because I was scared of how he'd
react. I have told close friends if
they smell of body odor, and they
have always been grateful.
However, this man was a stranger.
What kind of relationship do you
have to have with someone to
point out body odor? I know I
would be grateful if someone
were to mention something like
this to me.
– Stinky Stench, Boston, MA
DEAR STINKY STENCH: It
was wise of you to keep your
comments to yourself during
your flight. It would have been
terribly awkward for you to be
sitting next to him after making
this revelation. That said, you
could have requested a seat
change. You could have gone
over to the flight attendant
privately and told him or her that
your neighbor's body odor was
making you sick to your stomach
and that you need to move.
Whenever possible, a flight
attendant will try to accommodate
such requests without causing
anyone embarrassment.
In terms of letting the man
know, the only way that I think
you could have let him know is if
you befriended him on the flight
and asked, just before deplaning,
if you could share something
with him that is uncomfortable to
discuss. With his blessing, you
could tell him that you noticed he
had an unusual odor coming
from his body and you thought he
might want to check it out, for
health purposes.
