Son held in mother`s death
ElkCityDailyNews El The Serving Western Oklahoma Since 1901 Thursday, February 14, 2013 Son held in mother’s death Police contend another woman kept against her will in the house where woman was shot Larissa Graham Staff Reporter An Elk City man is jailed on complaints of first-degree murder and kidnapping after his mother was shot to death at their Elk City residence. At 10:03 a.m. Wednesday, police were called to a possible shooting at 609 W. Avenue D, Police Chief Eddie Holland said. When officers arrived, they found Karen Stigleman, 56, dead inside the house from a gunshot wound to the head, Holland said. Additional officers arriving on-scene found a nude man – later identified as Aaron Mitchell Stigleman, 26 – running from the back of the house through an alley. Officers chased him on foot, cornering him in a nearby carport. After he refused to lie on the ground, police used a Taser to force him to comply, Holland said. The police radio log indicated another person was inside the residence at the time of the shooting. The person told dispatch Aaron Stigleman walked into his mother’s room and the two got into a fight. Aaron Stigleman then shot his mother, the caller stated, and the caller ran across the street. Holland said today Stigleman that after the shooting woman who called police the woman was held is where the kidnapping against her will inside the complaint leveled against house for about an hour.

Jacob Trevathan was found dead inside a relative’s apartment, a press release issued by the OSBI stated. The apartment is located in the 500 block of North 5th in Sayre. Several people were inside the apartment at the time of Trevathan’s death, the release stated, and OSBI is in the process of interviewing those individuals. Sayre Police Chief Ronnie Harrold said today police contacted OSBI Wednesday morning to assist in the investigation because of the nature of Trevathan’s death. “It looked suspicious,” Harrold said. “We don’t have the “It looked suspicious.

Felon gun bill held OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A plan to allow some convicted felons to have the right to own a firearm restored was derailed Wednesday in a House committee after numerous objections to what kind of criminal may be allowed to carry a gun. Rep. Todd Russ, R-Cordell, agreed to lay over his bill in the House Public Safety Committee after several members of the committee raised questions and suggested they would vote against it. By laying the bill over, it can still be amended or brought back before the committee for a vote. The bill would allow individuals convicted of a nonviolent felony who have completed their sentence and probationary period to have their right to own a firearm restored, including their ability to apply for a handgun permit. “Multiple young dads and moms have contacted me pleading with me to address this issue,” Russ said. “They can’t even take their young sons bird hunting.” Russ said he’s learned of many people who have received felony convictions for crimes like writing bogus checks or larceny who will never be allowed to own any type of firearm without a full pardon for the governor, a process he said is difficult and rare. “Oklahoma is one of the most notorious states in the nation for incarceration. You can’t hardly sneeze without getting a felony,” Russ said. “These are people who made a mistake that they took a felony plea on, and now they’re in a situation where they can’t grow up with their children and their family and enjoy hunting and wildlife activities that most people in my area enjoy.” But Rep. Leslie Osborn, R-Mustang, said she was surprised to learn that under Oklahoma law, there are dozens of serious crimes that are considered nonviolent offenses, including drug trafficking, child pornography, bombing and abuse of a vulnerable adult. “These are serious offenses,” Osborn said. “I was horrified when I saw in our statutes that these were considered nonviolent offenders.” Jimmy Bunn, Jr., chief legal counsel for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, testified that under current law, those convicted of a nonviolent felony can have the right to own a gun restored if they receive a pardon from the governor. But Russ said receiving a pardon from the governor was a “monumental” task and that pardons are rarely granted. The bill also was opposed by the District Attorneys’ Council, a group that represents state prosecutors at the Capitol. Rep. Fred Jordan, R-Jenks, encouraged Russ to consider narrowing the scope of his bill or perhaps adding a judicial review to ensure that the law wouldn’t end up “putting a gun in the hand of a drug trafficker.” Russ said he hoped to redraft the bill to address some of the members’ concerns and bring it up in committee again next week.

Chelsea Stigleman added that “Satan may have meant (the death) for bad, but God would use it to save many lives,” referencing Genesis 50:20, which states, “But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.” “My God’s right here with me,” she said. An Avenue D neighbor, Richard Wilmoth, said all was quiet in the neighborhood when he took his wife to an appointment Wednesday morning. But when he returned a short time later “all the police cars and ambulances were everywhere.” Two ambulances were at the scene, Wilmoth said, and he feared the worst when he overheard an exchange between a police officer and an emergency medical worker. “I heard a cop say ‘there’s no need to go in,’” Wilmoth said. Wilmoth said the son and mother had had run-ins before. “He tore that house all to pieces a couple of months ago,” he said of Karen Stigleman’s bricked mobile home where, he said, Mitch Stigleman lived “off and on with her.” On Jan. 31, police contend, Aaron Stigleman went to his mother’s store to pick up his mail and ran out the door with the store’s bank bag. At the time, Officer Sammy Weygand stated in a narrative, Stigleman showed signs of being intoxicated. He told another officer the bag belonged to him, but when asked he said he didn’t have any ownership in the business. Karen Stigleman told police she had called her son to pick up his mail at the shop, but that he took her bank deposit bag and tried to leave. After a struggle, he ran out the front door of the business. Karen Stigleman told officers she chased her son and stopped him while he was in his truck. For that incident, Stigleman has been charged with seconddegree robbery and actual physical control of a motor vehicle. WEATHERFORD - A retirement celebration will be held for long-time transportation executive Gary M. Ridley on Monday, March 4, at Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford. Ridley is retiring in March as the Director of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation and the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority. He will remain Gov. Mary Fallin’s Secretary of Transportation. The banquet will be held at 6 p.m. in the Memorial Student Center Ballroom and will recognize Ridley for his long service to Oklahoma transportation. RSVP’s for the event are being taken through SWOSU President Randy Beutler’s office at 580-774-3766 or at [email protected]. Tickets are $17 per person to cover the cost of the meal. Ridley has held the positions of director of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) since August 2001 and director of the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority since October 2009. Ridley was appointed decretary of transportation by Gov. Brad Henry in May 2009, and in November 2010, Fallin announced she would retain Ridley as Secretary of Transportation in her administration. Ridley’s journey up through the ranks provided him with first-hand insights into the whole spectrum of department operations. His ODOT service dates back to 1965, when he joined the department as an equipment operator. He moved up to maintenance superintendent at Kingfisher in 1970 and traffic superintendent at Perry in 1979. In 1983, he became field maintenance engineer at Perry and then advanced to ODOT Division Five maintenance engineer at Clinton in 1986. Ridley became the division engineer at Clinton in 1995. He was named assistant director for operations in January 2001 before becoming ODOT director that August. At the national level, Ridley chaired the committee that celebrated the 50th anniversary of the interstate highway system. He has been asked to testify to Congress on several occasions about the challenges faced by state transportation officials.

Push for PTSD treatment OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma must bridge a gap in mental and physical trauma treatment for its 10,000 National Guard members, a state senator told a Senate panel Wednesday. The Senate Veterans and Military Affairs Committee approved without opposition a proposal from Sen. Brian Crain, R-Tulsa, that calls for training guard members’ caregivers to better treat posttraumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries. “I’ve got a concern that others have brought to me that we are not doing enough to provide the full attention that those National Guard members need and certainly deserve,” Crain told The Associated Press after the hearing. “We want to make sure that people that are providing care to those National Guard members have the training, have the support, know what resources are available.” Specifically, Crain’s bill calls on the Oklahoma Health Care Authority’s medical advisory committee to launch and oversee pilot training programs for caretakers, even if they’re simply family members or neighbors of guardsmen. According to Pentagon data, more veterans died by suicide than in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan last year, a yearslong trend that has intensified interest in military mental health screening and treatment. Multiple studies also have found National Guard members are especially at risk for PTSD and other mental health problems. “Because National Guard soldiers return to civilian status following their deployment, they do not have the same uninterrupted access to military medical care as Active Component soldiers,” researchers at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research wrote in a June 2010 study on PTSD among returning active and reserve Iraq veterans. The study, published in the Archives of General Psychia- Friday, March 1 Catfish fry, 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., St. Matthew Catholic Church, 3001 E. 66 Access Road. Area deaths Rose Stills Bible thought Rev. Terry Koehn United Methodist Church SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 3:18 (New Living) “May you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep God’s love really is.” PRAYER: Loving God, thank you that your care and concern for us knows no limits. Amen. THOUGHT: God’s love is…wide: covering every aspect of life; long: going with us through our whole life; high: even greater than our own love; and deep: able to uproot ‘weeds of sin’ in our lives. Funeral services for Rose Stills will be conducted Saturday, Febuary 16 at 10:30 a.m. from the First Baptist Church of Elk City with Dr. Russell Duck officiating. Interment will be in the Fairlawn Cemetery under the direction of the Martin Funeral Home. Mrs. Stills died on Febuary 12 at the age of 70. A full obituary will be printed when available. An online registry is available at www.martinfhok.com. try, also pointed to other differences, including stress from reintegrating into the civilian workforce after combat. Lt. Col. Max Moss, a spokesman for the Oklahoma National Guard, called the proposal “promising.” He said 19 guardsmen had been killed in combat and almost as many — 16 — had died from suicide since 2001. Nine of those suicides were within the previous two years, pushing the Guard to increase its mental health efforts, but it doesn’t appear PTSD or combat were consistently the cause of those deaths, Moss said. He said the proposal would be helpful for guardsmen who experience PTSD symptoms — which can take months to surface — after leaving the military system. “If you walk into a military hospital, that’s going to be one of the first things they ask about and look for,” Moss said. “What I think is promising about this particular bill is that it will help train members of the civilian medical community to be more aware of the symptomology around PTSD and traumatic brain injury.” Whatever the causes of mental health concerns among guardsmen, addressing them falls to the states, Crain said. “We want to make sure those citizen-soldiers are given every opportunity” to get help, he said.

Elk City Police Officer Jeffery Miller reported that police started the compliance check just before 8:45 p.m. Wednesday. They visited four Elk City businesses – El Charro’s, Pizza Hut, Knuckle Head Red’s and The Longhorn Bar. Rob Bennett with Red Rock Behavioral Health Service, Gina Pratt with the Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission, and a 20-yearold man conducted the check, beginning at El Charro’s. “The (man) ordered a 3.2 beer,” Miller wrote. “The waitress checked his Oklahoma Driver’s License but failed to check and see that he was under 21. (The waitress) brought the alcoholic beverage to the 20-year-old male.” The waitress was cited for selling 3.2 beer to a person under 21. From there, the group went to Pizza Hut, arriving just after 9 p.m., the officer reported. Again, the 20-year-old ordered a 3.2 beer, and the Pizza Hut waitress checked his identification but still delivered the alcohol to him, Miller wrote. That waitress was also cited. Their third stop was Knuckle Head Red’s bar just after 9:15 p.m. “The 20-year-old ordered a 3.2 beer and the waitress checked his ID but still sold the alcohol to him,” Miller wrote. That waitress was also cited. Just before 9:30 p.m. the group went to The Longhorn bar. The 20-year-old was asked for his identification, and after the bartender checked the ID the bartender told the 20-yearold that he was under 21 and needed to leave the bar. No alcohol was sold at that location. Erin Lee, 26, of Elk City, Lauren Christine Garcia, 22, of Elk City, and Christina Ann Binion, 31, of Cheyenne were all cited for selling 3.2 beer to a person under 21, police said. Committee approves feral hog hunting bill OKLAHOMA CITY – Legislation that would allow aerial hunting of feral hogs has been approved unanimously in a House committee. House Bill 1920, as amended by state Rep. Dustin Roberts, would allow a permit for any landowner or any person who has contracted with a landowner to engage in the management of depredating animals by use of aircraft on the land of the landowner. “Feral hogs are a huge problem in Southeastern Oklahoma and lawmakers have been working to create opportunities for individuals hunting them.

Follow us on Twitter @ ECDNSports The Elk City Daily News • Elk City, Oklahoma Thursday, February 14, 2013 Elkettes, Boomers poised for postseason collision Blake Colston Sports Editor Chicago Cubs Hall of Fame outfielder Ernie Banks coined the phrase, “Let’s play two.” That’s exactly what the Elk City Elkettes and Woodward Boomers planned to do this week, but Mother Nature had other ideas. Elk City and Woodward’s district playoff appetizer set for Tuesday was canceled after a winter snowstorm blanketed western Oklahoma. Elk City head coach Tim Ellison was looking forward to the Tuesday matchup before Old Man Winter intervened. “We haven’t seen them in person since December,” he said. “So I was kind of hoping to just go play a little bit to see their speed and quickness. Because it’s hard to really see that on film.” Now both teams’ sights are set on Saturday night’s game at the Pioneer Center. It’s not a winner take all matchup. Both teams will advance to Area play win or lose. But Ellison says Elk City wants to win for seniors Erin Hutchinson, Courtney Jacks and Nicole Lamar, who’ll play the last home game of their Elkette careers Saturday. “To lose that last game, I’d feel bad for them,” the coach said. “I’m hoping we come out and play strong, the seniors play strong and hopefully we come out with a win for them.” It was Hutchinson’s play down the stretch of the first and only Elk City-Woodward game this season that propelled ECHS to a 52-49 overtime victory over the Boomers at the Pioneer Center Dec. 14. The senior post player hit the game-tying shot with 25 seconds left in regulation and scored 6 points in overtime. The Elkettes won despite trailing for most of the game and struggling to make shots inside the paint. “I bet we had 25 shots from inside four feet and I bet we didn’t make 20 percent of them,” the coach said. Since the early season matchup, Woodward and Elk City have gone in opposite directions. The Elkettes found their stride and enter the game with a 13-8 record. The Boomers, meanwhile, (5-15) have been mired in a seasonlong slump but will come into Saturday’s contest as winners of two of their past three games. “They’re not doing anything different. They’re running the same zone defense. They mainly want to keep the score in the low 40s,” the coach said. “I don’t think anything’s changed.” Because the Boomers’ zone defense is forcing teams to make outside shots, the Elkettes have put added emphasis on moving the ball well and knocking down 3-pointers in practice this week. “It seems like we’ve struggled against the zone some this year,” Ellison said. “And you’re going to struggle against the zone if you don’t move the ball and shoot it well.” ECHS practiced for two hours Tuesday and Wednesday, but today will only have a light shoot around before taking their minds off basketball for a little while. The prescription: A team road trip to the indoor water park in Clinton. “We just kind of want to get them together, laughing and having a good time,” Ellison said. “We want to be in a good mindset before we go play Saturday.” Saturday’s postseason opener won’t ever be far from the Elkettes’ minds, and for good reason. “We’ve had a good week of practice so far and I think it will continue,” he said. “Because they know everything we’ve worked for, the reason why is coming up.” MiKayla Harrison goes up for a shot over a Cache defender.

Elks ready to put ‘hay in the barn’ Blake Colston Sports Editor Cody Williamson, Kamran Coulter, Tyson Brown, Tyler Gifford, Gavyn Smith and Briar Boling are ready. “This is what they’ve been waiting for,” ECHS wrestling head coach Kevin Mincher said of his team’s trip to the regional tournament in Weatherford tonight. The top four finishers in each weight class at regionals advance to the state tournament in Oklahoma City. Going to state is something none of the six Elk City wrestlers heading to regionals have accomplished. They’d all like to change that, especially the four seniors: Boling (106 pounds), Coulter (152 pounds), Gifford (170 pounds) and Williamson (132 pounds). Williamson’s been close. So have Boling and Gifford. Each of the trio has finished one spot away from qualifying for state in their careers. Mincher and assistant coach Matt Pena moved Williamson from his customary slot at 126 pounds up to the 132-pound class because they think it gives the senior a better shot to make it to OKC. “One twenty-six is just a snake pit,” Mincher said. “There are a lot of good kids at ’26 and I’m not saying there won’t be good ones at 132, but we feel like that gives him a better chance.” The coach says Williamson’s been the glue that’s held a developing Elk City wrestling program together. “Cody’s kind of been the heart and soul for this group,” Mincher said. “Even going back to when the program started when he was a seventhgrader. He was always there with a smile on his face. So you want to see him succeed.” While the six-man team Mincher will take to Weatherford may not have much state tournament experience, it has plenty of regional experience. The four seniors all have extensive experience and, a junior now, Smith won matches at the regional tournament as a sophomore. Smith’s battled multiple injuries this season, including a sprained MCL and hyperextended elbow, but is healthy enough to qualify for state, Mincher says. “I was worried (the injuries) would slow him down, but they don’t seem to have done that,” he said. Freshman Tyson Brown is the lone ECHS wrestler without postseason experience, but the two-time tournament champion this season has the pedigree to make up for it, his coach says. “Tyson’s a kid that’s been wrestling since he was 5 years old,” the coach said. “He’s been looking for this moment forever.” As a coach, Mincher admits regional week is different from any other week. “The nerves are starting to kick in. This is different from any other tournament,” he said. Perhaps his nerves have been calmed by his team’s preparation lately. “I feel like the last two weeks have been the best two weeks of practice we’ve had this year,” he said. “I think we’re going to go out and wrestle better than we have all year long.” Tonight’s the night. “They’re ready to put the hay in the barn and go get after it,” Mincher said. Williamson, Coulter, Brown, Gifford, Smith and Boling are ready. We want your photos!

Activities Thursday, February 14, 2013 The Elk City Daily News • Elk City, Oklahoma Page 7 Woman pays grandkids to not smoke Dear Abby DEAR ABBY: It bothers me greatly to know that so many children continue to start smoking at an early age. My husband and I did that, and now we're paying an awful price. We have had emphysema for years. Four of our children also took up the habit. I finally started paying them to quit ($100 every two weeks they didn't smoke -- up to five payments). I decided to head off the temptation our grandchildren would face. We told them if they didn't start smoking by the age of 18, we'd pay them $2,000. So far, seven of the 10 have collected a nice check on their 18th birthday, and we expect the remaining three to collect in turn. They have grown up understanding that cigarettes are "gross" and, if they start smoking, it will cost them a lot of money! Abby, you're the best way to spread ideas. I hope you will think it worthwhile to pass this one along. DO AS I SAY, GAINESVILLE, FLA. DEAR DO AS I SAY: I'm passing it along, but frankly, I'm not crazy about bribery. One would think that, having witnessed firsthand the serious health issues you and your husband are experiencing, your grandchildren would have understood what awaited them if they took up the habit. The tobacco industry has done a huge disservice to young people by marketing their products to them -- and not just in the form of cigarettes, but also with flavored chewing tobacco, which is equally addictive. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, nearly 90 percent of smokers start by age 18. In 2006, U.S. District Judge Gladys E. Kessler of Washington, D.C., ruled the major cigarette manufacturers were guilty of fraud and racketeering under the federal RICO Act. (When the tobacco companies appealed, the Supreme Court rejected it without comment.) She wrote that for more than 50 years the tobacco industry "lied, misrepresented and deceived the American public, including smokers and the young people they avidly sought as 'replacement smokers,' about the devastating effects of smoking.... "They suppressed research, they destroyed documents, they manipulated the use of nicotine so as to increase and perpetuate addiction, they distorted the truth ... so as to discourage smokers from quitting." It is extremely important that young people be educated about -and prevented from -- using tobacco. Smokers who start as teenagers increase their chances of becoming addicted. Think about it: reduced lung function, early heart disease, cancer, asthma, disfigurement. Yes -- it could happen to YOU. DEAR ABBY: I have a wonderful husband and adorable grandchildren, but I have developed deep feelings for a man I met at the gym where I go with a friend. I find myself thinking of this man during the day and night. I don't want to have an affair nor do I want him to know what I feel. When the thoughts of him come, they overwhelm me so I try to pray. I have no plans to cheat on my husband. What else can I do? CONFIDENTIAL IN GREENVILLE, N.C. DEAR CONFIDENTIAL: Because you have a wonderful husband and a life you do not want to be disrupted, I recommend that when you finish exercising at the gym you take a COLD shower. And if that doesn't work, go to an all-female gym.

Students read the fictional title set during World War II, a story seen through the innocent eyes of Bruno, the 8-year-old son of the commandant at a concentration camp, whose forbidden friendship with a Jewish boy on the other side of the camp fence has startling and unexpected consequences.

She is a good coach for p.e. She knows a bunch of exercises that we do the days we have gym. She pushes us until we can’t go any farther. She is a great inspiration to us. She teaches us different sports. She picks a sport and we learn about that sport for several weeks. We also do exercises some weeks. She has taught me a lot of things I didn’t know about or how to do. She makes us change out of our school clothes to our gym clothes that we bring from home. After we get done changing we run for three minutes everyday that we do gym. After we get done running we sit in a circle and we do 10 stretches every time we have gym. She makes us take fitness tests. Gym really keeps you active. When you learn these new things it makes you want to keep doing them at home too. Ryann is the daughter of Teena and Brian Richardson.
