Father Murphy walked
into a pub and said to the
first man he met, "Do you
want to go to heaven?"
The man said, "I do Father."
The priest said, "Leave this
pub right now!"
He then approached a
second man. Father Murphy
asked, "Do you want to got to
•Cozy cottage home
•2 Bed/2 Bath
•Two spacious lots
•30x20 Shop w/ electricity
heaven?"
"Certainly, Father," was the
man's reply.
"Then leave this den of
Satan!" said the priest.
Father Murphy then walked
up to O'Toole and asked, "Do
you want to go to heaven?"
O'Toole replied: "No, I don't
Father."
The priest looked him right
in the eye and said, "You
mean to tell me that when
you die you don't want to go
to heaven?"
O'Toole smiled, "Oh, when I
die. Yes Father. I thought you
were getting a group together
to go right now."
This one's just another
example of criminal
stupidity...sometimes it's
way too easy. Some officers
in my department got called
to the local movie theater.

Apparently a guy paid with
a counterfeit $20 bill and
then went into movie
before they figured out it
w a s a f a ke . O n c e t h e
officers got there the
theater staff figured out
what theater he was in and
they easily pointed him
out. The officers began
interviewing the guy about
the funny money and I
think his guilt was a little
bit in question....until they
got him to empty his
pockets. They found
another fake $20 in his
pocket....and then

immediately arrested him.
Seems this Einstein was so
proud of his work he
decided to make a fake
bill...with his OWN
picture! Kind of a nobrainer at that point.
A sidebar to this story is a
good friend of mine worked
at the same company as this
guy did. I had been through
the business before and
knew they had lots of high
quality full color photo
copiers for the digital
production services they
provided. My friend never
told me but I'm going to bet
the guy lost his job too.

City.”
Angel’s Steakhouse serves
only Certified Angus Beef
Prime, focusing on quality in
all the foods they serve. The
menu is small by design.
“I wanted to make sure that
everything that comes out of
our kitchen is perfect,” said
Bernhardt. “From the Prime
Rib (served on Friday nights)
to our homemade steak
butter, which is out of this
world, we want to give
people the very best quality
possible.”
Bernhardt jumped headfirst
into restaurant ownership
nine years ago when she and
her mom opened Angel’s
Diner. Her parents owned
the Happy Days Motel and
her dad Larry had a vision for

ANGEL’S STEAKHOUSE CREATES ELEGANT DINING EXPERIENCE
Angel
Bernhardt
wanted to
bring a
restaurant
experience
to McAlester
that is
unique. She By: Gina Stanley
envisioned an ambiance that
she seeks out when visiting a
large city.
And she wanted it to be
perfect. Her visions came to
life in Angel’s Steakhouse.
“I just wanted a nice, quiet,
elegant, dimly lit
atmosphere, with plush
surroundings,” she said. “So
that’s what we created.
People come in and love it
here. They can’t believe they
aren’t in Tulsa or Oklahoma
MARCH 17, 2015 -PAGE 3
an empty area in front of the
property.
So one day, he just said,
“Angel. Do you want to build
a restaurant in front of the
hotel?” As a builder, he
came up with plans and even
suggested the name, in
honor of her.
“I love to cook and as the
middle child, I had my hand
up saying pick me, pick me!”
Bernhardt said with a laugh.
With that family effort,
Angel’s Diner was born in
2006.
The diner has continued to
grow and thrive, even
recently undergoing a menu
revamping. But Bernhardt
saw a need to fill a different
niche too.
“Honestly, I just wanted to
appeal to a different crowd,”
she said. “I love our diner
customers and they are very
loyal. But I thought this
would be an opportunity to
reach other people who are
looking for a different
experience.”
In addition to being housed
in one building, the two
restaurants also share a high
level of customer service.
That is a top priority for
Bernhardt and her staff.
“We greet every customer,”
Bernhardt said. “ That’s
really important that our
customers know how much
we appreciate them and how
welcome they are.”
In addition to the Diner and
the Steakhouse, Angel’s will
also open a Pub in the
coming weeks. The evening
menu will feature pub food
like sandwiches, wraps, and
beer battered fries, along
with a house specialty called
Scotch Eggs.
“They are amazing,” said
Bernhardt. “I’m very stoked
about this menu.”
With the addition of the pub,
Bernhardt wants to create a
place where people feel so
comfortable they just want
to hang out and stay a while.
Angel’s location is 1402 S.
George Nigh Expressway in
McAlester.
The diner is open Monday
through Saturday, 7 am-9 pm
and Sunday 7 am-3 pm.
Bernhardt said the pub will
likely be open 4-10 pm every
d a y b u t S u n d a y. T h e
Steakhouse is open
T h u r s d a y, Fr i d a y a n d
Saturday, 4 pm- 9pm, though

Body
Cams
T h e M c A l e s t e r Po l i c e
Department is currently in
the process of purchasing all
of our Police Officers body
cameras. These cameras
will help our Officers by
recording audio and video of
situations in which they
have interactions with
civilians. The cameras are
so small that they can be
attached to a collar, a cap or
even the side of an Officers
sunglasses.
The cameras will be
equipped with High capacity
battery packs that can last for
an extended shift if
necessary.
Many people have video on
their cellphone and there
have been instances that
police have been videoed
using force to make an arrest,
but either the person
videoing didn’t see the whole
thing or when it was put on
the internet only a partial
video is showed. By Officers
wearing these cameras, the
whole encounter will be
videoed and this will benefit
all parties.
The public is protected from
police misconduct, and the
police officers are protected
from bogus complaints. If a
complaint is filed, a
supervisor will be able to
retrieve and play the video
on the spot a see what
transpired. Another benefit
for police officers wearing
these cameras is that video
will be available for evidence
in court.
McAlester Police Officers
should be equipped with
these cameras by the end of
2015. Bids have been
opened and funding has
been identified for the
purchase of this technology.
We feel this is an area
departments nationwide
will be addressing in the
near future and our move in
this direction will be viewed
in a positive light.
Our officers are also
scheduled to be furnished
new side arms which have
recently been ordered.
These pistols will replace the
old ones, which are nearly 13
years old.

Tip of the week: We are receiving calls about
another scam. The scammer calls and tells
you that you qualify for a $9,000.00
government grant and all you have to do to
receive your money is send them 2% upfront
and then donate 1% to the homeless or
another charity of your choice. The caller
has a foreign accent and the phone number
is (239)444-8648. Don’t fall for this it is a
scam!

Lesson learned, I have been in marketing and design for many
years. Would I ever charge a client a design charge for a pickup
ad that needed no composing work, absolutely not. One has to
ask themselves, is the extra hit on a bill worth losing a client? In
my world the answer will always be no, some might want to take
note of this.

Well if you complain about people don't get enough sleep
before they get into a car to drive to work, now they have
started daylight savings time, people will lose another hour of
sleep, kids lose an hour. We defeat ourselves when we vote to
cut an hour rest off, more accidents, more asleep at the wheel,
it's a bad thing, we need to stay with standard time.
On the news today former attorney general Eric Holder made
a remark that they would like to like to dismantle and redo the
police department in Ferguson Missouri, well does he want a
gestapo or Russian KGB? Be careful of what you want to
change it to.
I need to ask a valid question here, what happened to the
millions the city has received to x our roads? I can name two
streets that are being worked on, but what about the main
roads that are in such bad shape? Today, I almost bottomed
out on Main and Commanche, the road is that bad! What will it
take to get our main roads up to par and out of the miserable
shape they are in now?

There is something I do not understand. If Republicans are so
racist and sexist, then why did they appoint the rst AfricanAmerican secretary of state (Colin Powell) and the rst female
African-American secretary of state (Condoleezza Rice)?
This was done during George W. Bush's term.
It has become common knowledge that the jobless rate is not
calculated as it once was. Just like most statistics today,
whatever administration is in power will try to make
themselves look good, and (manipulated) statistics is a great
tool. There is only one statistic that you should be
concentrating on today, and that is the national debt. What this
country owes cannot be skewed. We're darned near bankrupt,
and no Democrat or Republican is doing anything to stop the
down slide. Time to stop playing "sides," my friend. We'll ALL
go down together if we do not join together to bring our country
out of this tailspin.
How many times do we have to hear the same thing before it
nally sinks in? I guess this means change will never come.

McAlester is coming up
soon. Pride In McAlester is
gearing up to host its
annual Spring Cleanup on
Saturdays and Sundays
from April 11 until April
26. McAlester residents
can bring out bulk trash,
tires and electronics to
dispose of them free of
charge at the former
National Guard Armory
located at 319 E. Polk Ave.
The Cleanup will be open
on Saturdays from 9:00
am to 3:00 pm and
Sundays from noon to
3:00 pm. Residents
wishing to dispose of
brush may do so at the
McAlester Landfill, which
will be open to residents
during the Cleanup hours
and days for brush dropoff.
On the last Saturday of the
Spring Cleanup, April 25,
household hazardous
waste and prescription
drugs will be accepted for

This event encourages
citizens to dispose of
unwanted items properly,
which is important for the
environment and our
wellness. According to the
Environmental Protection
Agency, used motor oil
from a single oil change
can ruin a million gallons
of fresh water. Flushed
medications and dumped
chemicals such as
antifreeze can also create
water quality problems
and cause harm to people,
pets or wildlife.

FDA proposal to allow drug reps to circulate data draws protests
(Reuters) - Consumer watchdog Public Citizen has called on U.S. health regulators to withdraw a proposal that would allow
pharmaceutical companies to distribute medical literature suggesting that a drug's risk is less than stated on the label.
In a letter released on Wednesday, the organization urged Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell to withdraw
the proposal, saying pharmaceutical companies could "sell more drugs by making them seem safer than FDA has judged them
to be."
Last June the Food and Drug Administration issued a proposal allowing the distribution of new risk information about
approved drugs, saying it "recognized that the safety profile of a drug evolves throughout its lifecycle as the extent of exposure
to the product increases."
The FDA said it would allow distribution of new information published in medical journals showing that the severity or rate of
a side effect is lower than described on the product label. The new data could even "call into question a causal relationship
between a drug and an event in the approved labeling."
Companies would not be allowed to distribute literature about newly identified risks or information that shows an already
identified risk is more serious than stated on the label.
The proposal, critics say, would strip all meaning from current laws requiring FDA approval of a drug's label, which includes
its risks, benefits and other prescribing information.
An HHS spokeswoman was not immediately able to comment. Neither was a spokeswoman for the FDA.
The FDA requested public comment on the proposal and has not yet issued final guidance. Public Citizen obtained copies of
1,771 public comments under an open records request and made them available publicly. Of those comments, roughly 99
percent oppose the proposal.
"This is a misguided FDA proposal that could result in physicians relying not on approved warning labels but on information
provided by drug companies that may be more concerned with profits than patients," wrote one commentator.
Another said "drug reps stretch the truth more than enough." Yet another asked: "How can this be considered in any way?
Where I come from you do not let the fox in the hen house."
Among supportive comments, Public Citizen drew attention to one from the Medical Information Working Group,
representing big drug companies including Allergan Inc, Amgen Inc, Pfizer Inc and GlaxoSmithKline Inc, who argue they
should be allowed to distribute the literature under the First Amendment.

Full Senate approves measures to reform tax breaks for new wind farms
Two measures reforming
tax incentives for future
wind farms in Oklahoma
have cleared another
legislative hurdle. The
full Senate on Tuesday
gave approval to Senate
Bill 498 and Senate Bill
501. Sen. Mike Mazzei is
principal author of the
measures, which would
take effect beginning
January 1, 2016.
“These credits were
originally approved to
encourage job growth
through incentives for
what was then a fledgling
industry in this state,”
said Mazzei, R-Tulsa.
“That is no longer the
case, so in a time of
limited state resources,
revisiting those
incentives to ensure the
benefits do not outweigh
the cost is a responsible
approach on behalf of
Oklahoma taxpayers.
We know that without

reform, the cost of these
tax breaks will continue
to grow at a troubling
rate.”
SB 498 will adjust the
state’s ad valorem policy
to change the exemption
for wind manufacturing
that requires specific job
creation in order to
qualify for the tax
exemption. SB 501 will
reduce zero emissions tax
credits over a five year
period and establish a $6
million statewide cap.
“If we fail to adjust these
incentives, the
consequences to state
services could be
devastating. Looking at
the combined impact of
tax breaks for current and
planned industrial wind
facilities, the cost is
projected to be at least
$700 million over a ten
year period,” Mazzei said.
“I have long supported the
use of incentives to boost
job growth, but I believe
there is an increasing
awareness that we must
exert greater oversight
over these incentives to
make sure they are doing
what they were designed
to do without costing
more than they generate
for our state.”
Both measures now
advance to the House of
Representatives for
further consideration.

USDA chief orders improved animal
welfare protocols at research center
No new research projects will
begin at the U.S. government's
key livestock study center until
animal welfare is improved
through stronger oversight and
better training of standards, U.S.
Department of Agriculture
Secretary Tom Vilsack said on
Monday.
Vilsack also ordered that USDA
staff update electronic recordkeeping practices at the U.S. Meat
Animal Research Center
(USMARC) facility in Nebraska, to
ensure all animals are being
appropriately monitored and cared
for.
The agency announced in January
it was looking into livestock
conditions at the center, which
seeks ways to improve profitability
of the U.S. livestock industry, such
as by making pork loins less fatty,
after a New York Times report said
staff had failed to follow basic
animal welfare standards during
decades of research.
While "no instances of animal
abuse, misuse, or mistreatment
were observed," according to a
draft of the report released
Monday by USDA, the facility was
not in compliance with Agricultural
Research Service policies, in part
because the center's committee
charged with keeping track of

animal care had fallen short of its
oversight duties.
The independent panel that
conducted the review said the
center's Institutional Animal Care
and Use Committee provided the
review panel no evidence that it
met regularly to discuss issues or
concerns over animal care, and no
evidence of a formal review or
approval process for research
projects proposed by the oversight
committee members themselves.
"There appears to be a formal and
informal process for research
project approvals. There needs to
be one process that is followed,"
John Clifford, USDA chief
veterinary officer with the agency's
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, wrote in an
email. The email - sent by Lauren
Christensen, chief of staff for
USDA's Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service's veterinary
services - was released by USDA
Monday.
Clifford added, "I believe they do
take personal interest and care of
animals but need to keep better
records of [the] formal process."
Other problems identified
included: uncertainty over who is
responsible for, and in charge of,
oversight for animal care and
welfare in the cooperative
arrangement between USMARC
and the University of NebraskaLincoln; and no evidence of a
clearly defined animal handling
training program, or
documentation that staff have
completed such training.
According to the Times report, the
center put animals used for
research into cruel and dangerous
conditions and has operated
outside of the federal Animal
Welfare Act, which does not cover
most farm animals used in
research.
Of the controversial research
reported by the Times, only the
pasture-lambing project was
ongoing, according to USDA. The
Times reported that lambs in the
project - an effort to turn
domesticated sheep into a breed
that is not reliant on human help –
suffered a very high rate of death
due to predators, weather and
abandonment. During the panel’s
review of the center, the animals
were in healthy condition,
according to USDA.

A Bottom For U.S. Natural
Gas Producers Is In Sight
Crude oil is not the only energy commodity that has taken a beating over
the last 12 months. U.S. spot natural gas prices, priced at the Henry Hub
in Louisiana, closed Monday at $2.72 per million British Thermal Units.
U.S. spot natural gas is down by $2.05/MMBtu, or 43%, over the last 12
months. UNG, the natural gas ETF, fared even worse, declining by 46%
over the last 12 months.
As an aside, the under performance of UNG is due to the unique construct
of the ETF. UNG seeks to replicate the performance of natural gas prices
by purchasing the front-month natural gas futures contract priced at the
Henry Hub, and rolling the contracts over each month. Since the natural
gas futures curve is upward sloping (a technical condition labeled as
‘contango’), this means investors in natural gas futures will lose money
over time even if the spot price remains the same. As such, UNG is only
good for short-term speculation.
Meanwhile, the stock prices of our ‘watch list’ of U.S. natural gas

producers have also been beaten down over the last 12 months:
•Chesapeake Energy CHK +2.24% (CHK), $14.24, down by 40.4%
•Cabot Oil & Gas COG +3.46% (COG), $27.53, down by 21.9%
•Range Resources RRC +2.07% (RRC), $46.61, down by 46.4%
•Southwestern Energy SWN +1.8% (SWN), $22.29, down by 47.6%
•Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ), $29.16, down by 20.5%
There are three major reasons for the decline in U.S. natural gas prices
over the last 12 months, all of which have resulted in higher-thanexpected supply:
1.Higher-than-expected production from the Marcellus shale, which
makes up more than 20% of U.S. natural gas production. The Marcellus
shale is unlike any other shale (gas or oil) in terms of productivity. Defying
expectations, some of the wells drilled in the Marcellus shale actually
experienced production increases six months after production began;
2.Technological innovation has driven efficiency gains as each rig is able
to drill an increasing number of wells, e.g. three years ago, it took about 23
days to drill a well in the Marcellus shale; today, it takes only about 14
days;
3.An increase in ‘associated gas’ production as shale oil production

increased, i.e. natural gas is produced as a by-product of shale oil
production. The shale boom over the last several years has resulted in an
increasing amount of natural gas produced that essentially has a zero
cost of production.

Selecting the
Perfect Garden
Site
With vegetable gardening
season just a little more than a
month away, now is a great time
to select that perfect garden site.
Choosing a garden site is as
important as selecting the
vegetables to grow in it. All
vegetables need sunlight and
fertile, well-drained soil, and they
will contract fewer diseases if the
site has good ventilation.
Another key aspect of site
selection is to place the garden
so it will be convenient to plant,
care for, and harvest.
While very few of us are lucky
enough to have the ideal place
that provides all of the needed
conditions to grow a successful
garden, we can find the best site
in our landscape by following a
few simple guidelines.
First, select for sunlight. An
open, south-facing, gradual
slope is best, but if you don’t
have that, look for a shade freeplace. All vegetables need a
minimum of 6 hours of sunshine.
Next, get to know the soil in your
yard. Good gardening soil warms
early in the spring, is loamy
enough to provide oxygen to the
roots of growing plants, holds
enough water for several days,
and is fertile enough to grow a
good crop of weeds. An
indication of general fertility of
your garden soil is its natural
vegetation. As a thumb rule, the
healthier the weeds or grass
already growing on the site, the
better the soil will be for growing
vegetables. Also, try to locate
your garden away from trees and

The roots from nearby woody
plants will take nutrients and
water away from your
vegetables.
And finally, avoid placing the
garden where there is little air
movement. A natural breeze
helps prevent foliage diseases,
where as stagnant, humid, warm
air creates ideal conditions for
development of
problems such as tomato blight,
powdery mildew and other plant
health issues.

Oklahoma Black Caucus leaders address racial slur from
OU fraternity members
OKLAHOMA CITY – Members of the Oklahoma Black Caucus responded Monday afternoon to a video that depicts members
of the University of Oklahoma chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity chanting a song laced with racial slurs.
The video, taken last Saturday evening on what appeared to be a bus, showed several fraternity members and their dates
dressed in formal wear and many can be heard chanting the offensive words. By the time the footage surfaced Sunday
evening, it quickly gained national attention as it drew momentum in various social media channels. By Monday morning,
University of Oklahoma President David Boren had already called for the SAE fraternity members to vacate the chapter house
in Norman, and he also moved to permanently sever ties with the national organization.
“I am pleased with President Boren’s swift action to call for a complete investigation in response to this incident. His
immediate decision to order all members to vacate the fraternity house and call for OU to cut all ties from the national SAE
organization is to be commended and sends a strong message that such disgraceful behavior will not be tolerated,” said Sen.
Anastasia Pittman, D-Oklahoma City, and chairwoman of the Black Caucus. “As an alumnus from the University of Oklahoma
and as the state’s only female African American legislator, I am disheartened at the obvious lack of tolerance for diversity
within these student fraternities. This is a prime example of how one incident can quickly become systemic and unravel years
of hard work by many black and whites who foster diversity and tolerance.”
Echoing similar sentiments, Rep. Kevin Matthews, D-Tulsa and vice chair of the Black Caucus noted his disappointment as
well.
“I am disgusted and upset such racist beliefs still exist in 2015,” said Rep. Matthews. “I support President Boren’s decisive
action to immediately remove this group from the campus community. Intolerance has no place in a progressive society, and
racism like this video depicts certainly has no place at a state-funded university.”
The video was first posted online by a black student group at the university, but it was not clear how it was obtained. The
incident remains under investigation, but African American legislative leaders pledged to press for answers.
“This video is just a sign of an issue much larger than this particular incident,” said Rep. George Young, D-Oklahoma City. “We
do not need to be talking about intolerance and racism in 2015. We should be long past incidents like this hurtful video made
by these young men of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. It’s imperative that people truly understand the pain and sorrow such hurtful
words and actions can carry with them. It’s sad that this video comes on the heels of the 50th anniversary of ‘Bloody Sunday’
in Selma, Alabama.”
Representative Mike Shelton, D-Oklahoma, believes the offensive video and subsequent events can serve as a catalyst for
change within the student community.
“It’s my hope this will spark real and meaningful change on campus,” said Shelton. “There are numerous groups on the OU
campus that are constantly working to diversify faculty and staff, and when we don’t have an environment that embraces
diversity, that effort can easily be overlooked. I commend President Boren for his swift actions, but simply closing the SAE
house and expelling the offenders doesn’t address the root of the problem. Ensuring tolerance and diversity throughout the
campus requires cooperation and commitment from all members of the university community.”

OHLAP modification bill passed by full Senate
OKLAHOMA CITY – The Senate passed a bill Tuesday to provide the State Regents of Higher Education more flexibility when
deciding students’ eligibility for the Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Program (OHLAP). Sen. Corey Brooks is the author of
Senate Bill 137, which would direct the Regents to create an appeals process for students denied OHLAP because of their
families’ special financial situations.
“The purpose of the OHLAP program is to help provide free tuition to any Oklahoma student who wants to get a college degree
and meets the qualifications. However, many students have been denied the scholarship because of their parent’s Social
Security disability payments or nontaxable military pay including combat pay, hazardous duty pay and active duty basic
allowance for housing benefits among other payments,” said Brooks, R-Washington. “This bill will allow the Regents to review
these special cases to ensure that the state isn’t keeping someone who truly has a financial need from getting a degree.”
Currently, in order to qualify for OHLAP, a family’s taxable and nontaxable income cannot exceed $50,000 annually. SB 137
would allow the Regents to review cases where a family’s income includes nontaxable military benefits or federal Social
Security Administration payments due to the death or disability of one or both parents. If the family’s income is found to be less
than $50,000 excluding those benefits, the student will be eligible for the OHLAP program.
SB 137 will now go to the House for further consideration.
Sen. Brooks: (405) 521-5522
Senate approves measures to help Oklahoma veterans
OKLAHOMA CITY – On Tuesday, the Senate passed two bills to provide more services for Oklahoma veterans and their
families. Senate Bills 398 and 713 seek to help veterans both living and deceased. Sen. Frank Simpson, a retired Navy
veteran and chairman of the Senate Veterans and Military Affairs Committee, is the author of the measures.
“The federal V.A. has dropped the ball when it comes to looking out for our veterans. They’re not receiving the help they need
financially, emotionally, mentally or physically,” said Simpson, R-Springer. “We have so many veterans who are unemployed,
homeless, struggling with addiction and so many other issues from the trauma they suffered while serving their country. Even
worse, we have homeless veterans dying who aren’t getting a proper burial. Our veterans deserve to be treated with more
dignity while alive and after they’ve passed by their government for whom they have given so much.”
SB 398 would require the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs (ODVA) to establish a program to provide assistance for a
proper burial for homeless or indigent honorably discharged veterans. The program would aid in obtaining any available
burial benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or through private organizations. The program would also
provide a burial grant for any indigent veteran or anyone who qualifies for financial assistance as determined by the ODVA.
SB 713 would allow for the establishment of veteran drop-in centers around the state to provide counseling, job placement and
family services for Oklahoma veterans. The centers would be jointly administered by the ODVA and the state Department of
Mental Health. Nonprofits, with expertise in assisting veterans, would be allowed to apply to provide services at the centers.
Both measures received unanimous approval from the Senate and will next be considered by the House.

Senate backs measure for vote of the people on modernizing
alcohol laws
The Senate has taken a giant step
forward by promoting further discussions
by all stakeholders on legislation to
modernize Oklahoma’s archaic and
uncompetitive laws regulating alcohol
sales. Senate Bill 383, by Sen.
Stephanie Bice, began as an effort to
give liquor stores the option of selling
refrigerated beer. Bice, R-Oklahoma
City, said since that time, the focus of the
legislation has changed.
“Oklahoma’s alcohol laws were created
more than 50 years ago after the
repeal of prohibition. If you change one
area of those laws, it may inadvertently
affect another area. But I continue to
hear from Oklahoma consumers who are
frustrated with the current restrictions
that they see as outdated,” Bice said.
“So we’ve removed the title from
Senate Bill 383, and the idea is that it
will become a measure to let the citizens
of this state decide whether they want to
keep Oklahoma’s alcohol laws as they
are, or modernize them.”
Oklahoma is one of only five states
where 3.2 beer is still sold, although in
another of those states, Kansas, efforts
are underway to modernize their liquor
laws.
“I think it is important to bring everyone
to the table, from wineries, breweries,
grocery and convenience stores, retail
liquor store owners and distributors as
we develop this proposal, and that’s
what we will be working on in the weeks
and months to come,” Bice said.
SB 383 was approved by the Senate on
Wednesday 38 to 10. The measure now
moves to the House of Representatives.
Any announcement made at auction shall supersede any previous advertisement or
statement and prevail as the final terms and conditions.

Senator Boggs’ Weekly in the Know
We’ve wrapped up our fifth legislative week of the session, and next week marks the deadline to get bills that have been approved by
the various Senate committees heard on the Senate floor.
As you may have heard or seen, there has been a good amount of discussion on the possibility of reviving the prison rodeo in
McAlester and I’m encouraged by the enthusiasm and interest in bringing back the event. I had the opportunity to visit with
Oklahoma Department of Corrections Director Robert Patton and while we agree the significant state budget shortfall makes the
timing unlikely this year, we’re hopeful for the possibility of a future prison rodeo when the time is right.
As I reported last week, SB 278, also known as the 911 bill, has been laid over in the Energy committee. I’ll continue to fight for this
legislation, whether it’s this year or next, because our current system needs to be adequately funded and updated and we simply
can’t service rural emergency calls effectively with the outdated equipment and service we have now.
We are still working on Senate Bill 224, authored by Sen. Frank Simpson, as it would change the requirements of the Oklahoma
Strategic Military Planning Commission to include a member of the Oklahoma Army and Air National Guard facilities. The legislation
also would allow the Commission to disperse monies from the Commission Incentive Fund to eligible local communities. I have been
discussing this legislation with the McAlester munitions plant as well as the City of McAlester how important this is for our district.
It’s been a great week for visitors here at the office as well. Daniel Royer and Evan Fowler shadowed me this week at the Capitol.
They’re both sophomores from Union High School in Tulsa and I enjoyed having them work with us to learn more about state
government.
Also, the All-Oklahoma Academic Team & OACC Scholarship Luncheon was held this week and I was honored to present citations
to six students from our district. Hannah Franklin and Erin Hearn represented Carl Albert State College in Poteau, while Paige
Henninger, Victor Reich-Martins, Hayley Myers, and Tylee Phillips from Eastern Oklahoma State College were all recognized at the
event.
To contact me at the Capitol, please write to Senator Larry Boggs, State Capitol, 2300 N. Lincoln Blvd. Room 529-A, Oklahoma City,
OK, 73105, email me at [email protected], or call (405) 521-5604.

I tend to make people nuts
in my office, at 4-H and
OHCE events, at my church,
and at family reunions
when I preach food safety
especially regarding carryin dinners, pass-a-dish,
potlucks, or covered dishes.
No matter what you call
them, potlucks are scary in
my minds. The bottom line
is that it comes down to
foodborne illness.
Ac c o r d i n g t o t h e C D C
(Center for Disease
Control), every year 1 in 6
Americans get sick after
consuming a contaminated
food or beverage. These
illnesses are largely
preventable with proper
food safety, yet potlucks are
where food safety strategies
often break down. Foods sit
out for far too long at the
wrong temperature, and
people can easily
contaminate a dish by
grabbing a serving with
their hands or doubledipping.
So a few dos and don’ts for a
food-safe event makes for an
interesting article. Here
goes……
Do remember the “two hour
rule.” Any potentiallyhazardous foods (dairy,
meat, fish, cooked
vegetables, rice or
chopped/sliced fruits and
vegetables) that have sat out
at room temperature for
more than two hours should
not be eaten. The rule
changes to one hour if the
room temperature is above
90 degrees.
Do have a plan for keeping
hot foods hot and cold foods
cold. Hot food should be
kept over 140 degrees and
cold food should be kept
under 40 degrees. If the
situation does not allow for
temperature control of the
food, consider taking foods
that are less risky. Think
bread, chips, nuts, dried
fruits, or washed whole
fruit.
Do consider transportation
before you decide on what
you’re taking. Can you keep
it hot or cold while getting it
to the event? County the
transportation time in the
“two hour rule.”
Don’t forget to wash your
hands. When preparing
foods for an event, take extra
care at home to keep things
clean and safe. Be sure to
wash your hands before
cooking.
Don’t prepare food for other
people if you’re sick. If
you’ve had the sniffles,
vomiting, or diarrhea in the
past few days, then don’t
cook. Your friends and
family will thank you.
Don’t partially cook food at
home to finish at the pot
luck. The best method
would be to completely
cook all potentiallyhazardous foods at the meal
site.
Don’t prepare foods the day
before with the intent of
reheating in a slow cooker.
Completely cook the food
on the day of the event
eliminates the risky cooking
and reheating steps.
Do use enough ice. If you’re
using coolers to keep food
cold, make sure to have
enough ice to keep the foods
below 40 degrees.
Don’t use slow cookers to
reheat leftovers. This is too
slow. If you’re using a slow
cooker to keep the food hot,
reheat the food to 165
degrees and then put it in
the slow cooker. Don’t use
warming trays to cook or
reheat food. These
appliances are not designed
for this purpose.
Don’t wait to eat. If facilities
are not available to keep
food at the correct
temperature, don’t wait
until the speaker if done or
the ‘short’ business meeting
is over to eat.
Do encourage people to
label and describe their food
items. This will help with
possible food allergies, and
also will keep people from
smelling or touching the
foods with their hands,
taking just a little taste in
line to see what it is. Do
remember to have tongs or
other serving utensils
available. This will help
people avoid using their
fingers or “double dipping”.
Do encourage the use of
paper plates and/or clean
plates for “seconds” and
desserts. Refrigerate
leftovers ASAP. Break large
items into smaller portions
so that they will cool more
q u i c k l y. C l e a n u p
immediately. Remember to
use plastic wrap or zip-top
bags to allow for quick
clean-up and refrigerator
storage.
Don’t take leftovers home.
This could be risky. Not
only has the food sat out at
room temperatures for a
long time, there is potential
contamination from the
many people passing
through the buffet line.
Do throw away any
leftovers that you are not For more information in Educator for the Pittsburg

ASTROLOGY
UPDATE
ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Partnerships may be
strained if one of you has been erratic and hard to
deal with. You will be able to enlist the help of
colleagues who believe in your ideas. Look into
physical activities that will help get rid of some of that
tension you may be feeling.
TAURUS (Apr. 21- May 21) You can bet that you'll
draw attention to yourself. Changes at home might
come fast and furious. It's a great day to attend social
functions.
GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You could be emotional if
you didn't take care of problems with loved ones.
You will have to do a lot of running around, so be
prepared to fall short of your expectations.
Emotionally, things may not run so smoothly.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) You must use
discretion when it comes to lending money or making
donations. People you live with will not be terribly
happy with you regardless of what you do today. You
can form new partnerships, but don't move too
quickly; things may not be as they appear.
LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Tie up your personal papers
or push to have legal settlements completed.
Friendships will be ruined if you let too many people
get involved in any disputes. You can't lose today
unless you get involved in gossip or overwork to the
point of exhaustion.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Travel could be in order.
You must be careful not to trust just anyone. Be
innovative.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Don't count on others to
cover up for your shortcomings. You need time to
think things through. Sudden good fortune will help
you cover your debts.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) You will be relentless
when it comes to getting yourself back into shape.
Get involved in sports groups or hobbies that attract
you. Put your efforts into your work or money making
ventures rather than your emotional life.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) You can get into
weight loss programs or go out and change your
image with a new look in clothing, hairstyle, and
attitude. Someone may be trying to damage your
reputation. Be willing to listen, but don't be fooled.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Socializing or
travel will lead to partnerships. You will do your best
work on your own. Don't back down but don't ignite
the situation.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) You may need help
with your financial situation. Don't let others know
about your private affairs. Keep important
information to yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Try to get others to stand
behind your good judgment. Your bankbook will
suffer and your restrictions will put a damper on your
relationship. Empty promises and a lack of cash may
put a damper on your plans.
