I had the opportunity to attend a Fourth of July parade, enjoy a Fourth of July fireworks display, and also learned some little-known facts about the Declaration of Independence . . . 1) Benjamin Franklin wrote the first declaration of independence. In April 1775, the Revolutionary War began at Lexington and Concord. Only July 5, 1975 – an entire year before the adoption of the Declaration of Independence – the Continental Congress adopted the Olive Branch Petition, written by John Dickinson, which appealed directly to British King George III for reconciliation between the Colonies and Great Britain. Though Franklin signed the petition for the sake of consensus, he radically differed with it and said that stronger sentiments were necessary because the petition was destined to be rejected. He was so appalled by British atrocities and exhausted of British rule that he planned the first articles of confederation and drafted a declaration of independence to be issued by none other than Gen. George Washington. So strong was the language of the draft that Thomas Jefferson wrote that though some members of Congress – including him – “approved highly of it”, some were “revolted at it.” Jefferson explained in his private commentary that “proposing it to Congress as the subject for any vote whatever would startle many members.” It seems Congress just wasn’t ready to throw down the gauntlet yet. My, how things can change in a year! 2) Jefferson had problems with the adopted version of the Declaration of Independence, which was written primarily by him. On June 11, 1776, the Second Continental Congress appointed a committee of five men (Franklin, Jefferson, John Adams, Robert Livingston and Roger Sherman) to write a declaration of independence. The committee, in turn, appointed Jefferson to produce a first draft for consideration, which he did by utilizing other documents, such as his own draft of a Virginia constitution, the Virginia Declaration of Rights and state appeals for independence. The committee and, later, Congress made some revisions to Jefferson’s draft before formally adopting it July 4, 1776. In the end, Jefferson was troubled by their revisions, especially Franklin and Adams’ removal of a diatribe blaming King George III for the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Who knows? Maybe if that paragraph were left in the document, our Founding Fathers might not be maligned so much for being pro-slavery. 3) The Declaration of Independence wasn’t signed July 4, 1776. On July 1, 1776, the Second Continental Congress began meeting in Philadelphia, at what is now known as Independence Hall. Delegates spent the next few days debating and revising the Committee of Five’s draft. After adopting the Declaration of Independence on July 4, they didn’t sign it for roughly another month because New York’s delegates weren’t authorized to vote in favor of independence until July 9, and it also took two additional weeks for the declaration to be produced in its final printed form. Most delegates signed the official declaration August 2, but at least six others didn’t sign it until later, and two more (Dickinson and Livingston) never signed it at all. 4) The original Declaration of Independence wasn’t written on paper. As the National Archives and Records Administration explains, the original was “engrossed on parchment which is an animal skin specially treated with lime and stretched to create a strong, longlasting writing support. The printed version is on paper and was read aloud from town squares throughout the colonies, so that those who could not read would receive the news about intended separation from England.” Chuck Norris Conservative Chronicle I love history, especially when it pertains to our great country. —CC— At a Fourth of July celebration Thursday, a few friends and myself were talking about how few World War II veterans were left. I have great respect and much admiration for our WWII veterans . . . my father was one of them. The following story was sent to me awhile back and I thought this was a perfect time to share it. Even though it was written about World War I, it reminds me of some of our local WWII veterans . .. He was very old now, but he could still hold himself stiffly to attention before the monument. His war, the one to end all wars, now just a fading part of history. Very few could remember firsthand the savageness of the ordeal that sent millions of young men to their deaths. “Cannon fodder” they’d call them, sent before the guns to be mowed down and blown apart by chunks of metal that had decimated their frail bodies. The cream of a generation, almost wiped out. He was haunted by the faces of the boys he’d had to order into battle, the ones who’d never come back. Yet one nameless ghost was able to bring a measure of comfort to his uneasy mind. At the sound of the gun signaling the eleventh hour, he was mentally transported back to the fields of Flanders. The battle had raged for over two hours, with neither side gaining any advantage. Wave after wave of soldiers had been dispatched from the muddy trenches and sent over the top. So many had died already that day that he decided he couldn’t afford to lose any more men before reinforcements arrived. Perhaps they’d give the remnants a few more days of life. There came a slight lull in the battle, due to the sheer exhaustion of men on both sides. It was always the same. There existed an unspoken agreement between the warring armies that they all be allowed some respite before continuing with the next onslaught. Time to catch one’s breath, until it was taken away forever. During this interval, a young soldier came up to him requesting he be allowed to go over the top. He looked at the boy who couldn’t have been more than nineteen. Was this extreme bravery in the face of the enemy, or was the soldier so scared he just needed to get it over with? “Why would you want to throw your life away, soldier? It’s almost certain death to go out there.” “My best friend went out over an hour ago, Captain, and he hasn’t come back. He could be lying out there hurt. I must find him, sir.” The pleading look in the young man’s eyes touched him. But to let him go now would be to condemn him to death. “I’m sorry, son, but I can’t let you go out there. It would be suicidal. Forcefully he said, “Go back to your post, soldier. That’s an order.” The young man turned, his head hung low, and slowly made his way back. The battle resumed its full fury, the guns pounding and acrid smoke stealing the little bit of fresh air that was left. Deafening explosions and showers of muddy earth hid the sight and sound of screaming men and horses. It was nearly two hours before the next pause in the conflict. The captain rolled a cigarette between shaking fingers. The smoke could not even curl up to penetrate the foul air. As he looked through the haze that surrounded him, he saw a figure approaching. It was the young soldier. He’d come back again. “Captain, please, please let me go out onto the battlefield,” he begged. “I know my friend must be hurt and calling for me. I must go to him, sir. I must.” There were tears in his eyes. It was as if this were the most important thing in the world to him. “Soldier, I’m sorry, but your friend is probably dead. What purpose would it serve to let you sacrifice your life, too?” “At least I’d know I’d tried, sir. He’d do the same thing in my shoes. I know he would.” He was about to order the boy back to the ranks again, but the impact of his words softened his heart. He remembered the awful pain he’d felt himself when his brother had died and he’d never had the chance to say good-bye. “All right, soldier, you can go.” Despite all the horror around them, he saw a radiant smile on the boy’s face. It was as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders. “Thank you, sir,” said the soldier. As he watched him slip away, he heard him shout out: “God bless you, sir.” It was a long time before the guns fell silent, and each side was allowed to gather their dead and wounded. The captain remembered the young soldier. He had to know what had become of him. He looked through the piles of bodies. There were so many. Perhaps he should check the living, just in case. When he came to the makeshift hospital, he looked carefully through the casualties. With a shock, he soon found himself before the prone body of the soldier. He was alive, but mortally wounded. He knelt down beside the young man and gently laid a hand on his shoulder. “I’m so sorry. I knew I was wrong to let you go.” “Oh, no, sir. I’m glad you did, and I’m glad you are here now so I can thank you. You see, sir, I found my friend. He was badly wounded, but I was able to comfort him at the end. As I held him dying in my arms, he looked me in the eyes and said, ‘I knew you’d come.” The young soldier gave one last gasp and slipped quietly into oblivion. *** As the bugle sounded “Taps”, the old captain, tears streaming down his face, envisioned once again the smiling face and hear the words, “God bless you, sir.” Looking up, he could almost hear the stone monument calling out to him: “I knew you’d come.” — Christine Ann Maxwell-Osborn —CC— Since the beginning of our country, almost every generation has been called on to defend our freedom.

All 15 libraries will host community events, book discussions, contests, parades and educational programs related to the book “True Grit” by Charles Portis. Among the many scheduled activities are a “True Grits” cooking contest and the publication of a “Crookbook” filled with recipes fit for an outlaw campfire, a chuck wagon feed or just an outdoor family dinner. “We will publish our ‘Crookbook,’ filled with recipes suited for outdoor cooking, early this fall,” said SEPLSO Director Wayne Hanway. “Librarians at all SEPLSO libraries are now seeking submissions for this one-of-a-kind collection of outdoor recipes.” Forms for submitting recipes are available at the Coal County Public Library, 115 West Ohio, Coalgate. Deadline for submissions is July 31. Completed forms may be submitted to any SEPLSO library or mailed to: Crookbook Recipes, SEPLSO, 401 N. 2nd, McAlester, OK 74501. Copies of the “Crookbook” will be available for purchase for a nominal fee at Big Read events beginning Saturday, October 5, and continuing through November 16. As readers throughout the area become acquainted with the “True Grit” story through lectures, book discussions, movie screenings and special events, they will be encouraged to read more for pleasure and enlightenment. Action in this modern American classic takes place throughout the Southeastern Oklahoma area— from the Oklahoma-Arkansas border at Fort Smith, to the J.J. McAlester Mercantile Company, to the famed Robbers Cave hideouts in the San Bois Mountains near Wilburton. The story follows the adventures of young Mattie Ross and U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn as they seek murderer Tom Chaney, who is riding with the Ned Pepper outlaw gang. “So this summer, we urge everyone in Southeastern Oklahoma to submit a favorite outdoor or Dutch Oven-style recipe,” said Hanway. “You might not be a crook like Ned Pepper or Belle Starr, but your Pepper Steak might become a star, and you’ll help support the Big Read program at the same time.” The Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest. SEPLSO is a multi-county public library district serving the residents of Choctaw, Coal, Haskell, Latimer, LeFlore, McCurtain and Pittsburg Counties through libraries in Arkoma, Broken Bow, Coalgate, Hartshorne, Heavener, Hugo, Idabel, McAlester, Poteau, Spiro, Stigler, Talihina, Valliant, Wilburton and Wister, and through various online and outreach services.

Each day in Oklahoma, a child is taken out of their home, their school and away from their siblings. These children are taken because they have suffered physical or emotional abuse and neglect or sometimes even death at the hands of their parents, stepparents or other caregivers in these children’s life. These children are faced with many obstacles and most times do not understand why or what is happening to them. Sometimes these children get kicked to the side or lost in the system while their parents are being investigated for abuse, or waiting for them to work a treatment plan, these children sit in shelters or foster homes with strangers, feeling scared and alone. This is where YOU come in; CASA volunteer helps the child understand what is happening and stays with the case until the safest home is found. CASA means Court Appointed Special advocate- trained community volunteers appointed by a judge to speak up for abused and neglected children in court. Volunteers receive 30 hours of training in social work and legal basics. CASA training enables the volunteer to learn about courtroom pro- cedures, social services and the juvenile system. A CASA will research the background of the case by reviewing documents and interviewing everyone involved, including the child. A CASA provides the judge with information that will help the judge make informed decisions for the child. A CASA volunteer is instrumental in assuring that a child is receiving services, which the court has ordered. A CASA volunteer is assigned to know the child, one child at a time, to understand the boundaries of their life, to consider their hopes and dreams to try to come to some conclusion about what will be in the child’s best interest. In Atoka & Coal County we now have 27 cases serving 51 children with very few volunteers; CASA is asking the community to take a stand and get involved for these abused and neglected children, it only takes a few hours of your time a month to make a life time of difference in a child’s future. So please take a few minutes to come by the office located in Atoka County courthouse or phone 889-5860; in Coal County we are located in the Big Five Office or phone 927-2381; pick up an application and get started on giving an abused child another chance in life for a brighter, healthier, happier and safer future. COALGATE RECORD REGISTER—JULY 10, 2013—PAGE A-5 Coalgate Independence Day Fun for All Coalgate was the place to be for a fun-filled Independence Day 2013.

The day began with the recently re-organized Oklahoma Territorial Gunslingers making their return debut after being inactive for the past several years. True to form, the Gunslingers captured the attention of hundreds of people who lined up on Main Street to watch their skits and gun safety presentation. The group is made up of several of the original members as well as a couple of rookies – and they’re as good as ever! People from all over the county participated in the parade emceed by Coal County Commissioner Johnny D. Ward and K101 Radio personality Chris Bradley. Oklahoma state Sen. Josh Brecheen and Rep.

One Pharmacist’s View...by Wayne Bullard, Pharm D Digging ‘taters on Goat Ridge Summertime is special. For kids It’s time for vacations, trips, camp-outs and doing things— school is out and it’s time for swimming and free time—a time to make memories. I’ve had some pretty special summers when I was a kid— but the summer of 1943 was a pretty memorable one for me and my brother Gerald. I’ve mentioned before how that my brother Gerald and I were often banished to my grandparents down on Goat Ridge in Leflore County every summer. Dad said we were to help him on the farm. Gerald felt they were just trying to get rid of us in that early summer of 1943. And I remember it very well. We were raised by a man (our dad) who owned a movie theatre—thus we learned to make sense of things by relating things to movie plots. For instance our arrival on J. T. Bullard’s farm that summer caused Gerald (in later years) to compare our visit to the events in the movie “Bridge on the River Kwai,” starring William Holden and Alec Guinness. In the movie the slave driving POW Jap camp commander literally works the Allied POWs nearly to death building this bridge the Japs need to win the war. In our situation, we arrived just in time to “help” dig potatoes. He had what seemed like thousands of acres of potatoes which were ready for harvest and he took his obedient mule and plowed them up but not perfectly. You still had to grunge around for them. In Gerald’s view grandpa was the Jap Commandant. We were the allied POWs. In our roles we carried large buckets and dug out the potatoes. When our bucket was full we struggled to the nearby wagon to unload. We finally got the potatoes dug. It took about 6 days. My Uncle Jack was home for his last summer before graduating from Fanshaw School the next spring and going off to war. Things improved drastically after that with daily trips to the “Bluff Hole’ a clear water perfect swimming place. One day melted into another and time passed. Another casualty of the war was up on the ridge, too. My Aunt Inez and her little 3 year old girl Gail were there. Her husband, my Uncle Tracy, was already gone to the Army and they were another pair of disgruntled ridge dwellers. There was no running water or electric up there but we didn’t mind. In the evenings the family gathered on the long front porch. Jack would get his guitar out and Inez liked to sort of coordinate things. We would sing songs like “You Are my Sunshine,” and such as that. Gerald was worried. He confided his fears that we might be stuck there—forever. “We came down here on one way bus tickets” he reminded me. I spoke with Grandma of my concerns and she said she was sure that we would be going home soon and not to worry. “You’ll understand all this in the sweet by and by,” she said. Then I heard a familiar and welcome noise. It was the rattles of my dad’s old 1935 Ford. He was coming to get us and he did. He also had news. Gerald and I had a new sister. Linda Kay had been born on July 3 and I suppose she wasn’t as big a surprise to my mom as she was to me. When Inez let me know that she knew, I asked her how. “I just know,” she said. We went home to Centrahoma that day and met the prettiest little girl baby I had ever seen. Linda grew up and became a beautiful woman and remained a very pretty lady all her life. But that dread disease cancer took her from us about 2 years ago. Now when her birthday rolls around every July 3rd I miss her a little more as I think of that day on that front porch 70 years ago down on my beloved Goat Ridge. It tempers us to remember that life comes to us with a mixture. Have a good week and be sure and go to church Sunday.

Experience and References A Coal County inmate DIRT crew picks up trash on a county road. Sheriff Launches Fulltime Inmate DIRT Program Coal County Sheriff Bryan Jump’s inmate work program is now an official fulltime program aimed at cleaning up roadways and other public areas. Even though the sheriff has been taking inmates out to perform cleanup tasks practically since he took office, the program now has an official name. Jump’s DIRT (Daily Inmate Roadside Task) Program was launched July 1 after the Board of County Commissioners voted June 17 to fund the program on a one-year trial basis out of the county’s solid waste account. Roger Cunningham, a CLEET certified officer, was hired to oversee the program. The overall cost of the program is about $2,800 a month, Jump said. The work crew generally consists of two to eight inmates that clean up trash, mow, weed eat, and cut and chip brush on roadways and other public property — “Anything that is on county, state or city rights of way or public property,” Jump said. “Their job will be to help keep the county clean and looking good.” Typically, the crew works eight hours a day, five days a week. “We don’t take any violent offenders, sex offenders, or high risk offenders out, and the workers are easily identified by florescent-colored vests and orange shirts or pants. “I feel like it’s a good program. It’s on a year trial, and if it’s successful, I see no reason why it won’t be continued. It’s funded out of solid waste, and any grants that we can obtain will be added. “I would encourage the public to let us know about any roadside dumps or trashy areas or areas where road signs are not visible because of high weeds. We’ll be glad to come out and take care of the problem.” Jump said he is happy to get support for his DIRT Program. “I want to thank the commissioners “The Gospel Barn” 1 1/2 miles West of Coalgate, Ok on Hwy 31 (Follow Signs) NEW DAY 3 rd Friday Nite of each month 6:00 - 10:00 concessions Southern Gospel, Bluegrass, Traditional Country/Gospel Information Call 580-927-2829 or 927-0861 No Drugs or Alcohol Allowed PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH = (Corner of Newell & Queen) Meeting Each Sunday at 11:00 a.m. would like to invite you to join them in worship 580-258-8856 or 580-927-2267 Storm Shelters All Concrete 10 yr.

This program is something I’ve been pursuing since I’ve been in office — it was just a matter of finding a way to get it done. “The public seems to like it, and the inmates like it. They’re happy to get out and work instead of laying around all the time.” In addition to the DIRT Program, Coal County inmates have been maintaining their own vegetable garden that they planted in the spring. Letter to the Editor I had the opportunity to take a couple from California to the cemetery to show them where their grandparents were buried. They couldn’t believe that a country cemetery would look so nice. They stated the cemetery was in better shape than some of the perpetual care cemetery in California. All of the good comments were because of the new cemetery boards and volunteers hard work in at the cemetery. A special thanks to the Hatton family for donating the mowing and weed eating at the cemetery. The cemetery is in the best shape I have ever seen it. I believe more flowers were put out this year than ever before. I wish everyone would visit the cemetery to see it even if you don’t have any relatives buried there. Personally I felt at peace just being at the cemetery with out some one being there acting like you might steal a tombstone or something. I know my Grandfather who donated the land for the cemetery would approve of the way the new board is managing it. S)Robert King Shawnee, OK Dr. Donald Dingle, D.C.

This brings me to a very important point. Now that it is July and our temperatures are already in the 90’s, we need to be very mindful of our elderly living in nursing homes and in their own homes. It doesn’t take very long for our body to become dehydrated from heat and the lack of necessary fluids. Please encourage our elderly to consume more liquids in this warmer weather. (Make sure that they are not on a restricted fluid intake, before doing so.) Beverages need to be easily accessible for them. Residents that suffer from Alzheimer’s, dementia, incontinence, or residents that have colds or the flu are at greater risk for dehydration. So those elders that cannot or don’t think by themselves, please offer them a Coal County District Court Records Felonies Amanda Marie White, Euless, TX – Uttering a forged instrument. Christian Harold Sherwood, Ada, OK – Cruelty to animals. Misdemeanors Virginia Ray Sim, Durant, OK – Possession of controlled dangerous substance; unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. Tammy Ann Jackson, Wapanucka, OK – Obtaining cash or merchandise by bogus check/false pretenses. Small Claims FirstBank vs Lacy Stiles – Money judgment. Marriages Oscar Dean Campbell and Skye Ames, both of Coalgate. drink and remind them to drink water throughout the day as you talk or check on them. Other causes of dehydration can be fluid loss due to an illness, (diarrhea, fever, infections), side effects of medications, (diuretics). So please help promote adequate hydration to our elders, so they may have a happy and safe summer. To learn more about dehydration and how to assist our elders, try becoming a Volunteer Ombudsman.

Texas Woman Arrested for Attempting to Pass Counterfeit Money A 33-year-old Euless, Texas, woman was arrested July 3 after attempting to buy 4th of July fireworks at a Masonic Lodge fireworks stand with counterfeit money. The fireworks stand was set up at the American Legion post. Investigator Jarel Bailey said Mason Scott Wright notified the sheriff’s office at 8:20 p.m. July 2 that a woman had attempted to pay for the fireworks with a counterfeit $100 bill. Deputy JoshVincent responded to the call. At that time, Wright told Vincent that the woman got $106 dollars worth of fireworks and attempted to pay for them with two $100 bills, one of which Wright immediately recognized as counterfeit. Wright said when he confronted the woman about the money being counterfeit, she drove away from the stand after she ripped the counterfeit bill in half and left it at the fireworks stand. Wright had gotten her tag number, and the Atoka Police Department stopped the vehicle. She was arrested for driving without a license and transported to the Atoka County jail. Wright identified the woman as the same woman that attempted to pass the counterfeit money. David Cathey, an investigator with the District Attorney’s office, attempted to interview the woman on July 3, but the woman refused to speak with Cathey, according to Bailey’s probable cause affidavit. Amanda Marie White appeared in court in Coal County on July 8 for her initial arraignment, at which time the court entered a plea of not guilty on her behalf to the felony charge of uttering a forged instrument. Bond was set at $7,000, which White posted on Tuesday. She is scheduled for an August 8 preliminary hearing conference. If convicted, she faces a prison sentence up to seven years. Ada Man Charged with Animal Cruelty An Ada man was charged Monday with cruelty to animals after allegedly shooting and killing an 8-month-old Boxer in Centrahoma. Investigator Jarel Bailey’s probable cause affidavit states that the owner of the Boxer said the dog had been missing several days and he had been told that Christian Harold Sherwood, 18, had shot the dog. Bailey said when he spoke with a relative of Sherwood, the relative stated that Daffern had told him he shot the dog for tearing up the trash. The relative said the dog was stinking, so he moved it with his tractor. Sherwood was located at a relative’s home in Coalgate. During an interview, Sherwood first stated that he saw the dog sniffing the trash near the roadway and shot him with a .22 rifle. Bailey said when Sherwood was confronted with the eyewitness account, he admitted that he had never seen the dog before and that he was an “innocent” dog. He said the dog was standing in the roadway when he shot it for no reason, according to Bailey’s affidavit. A warrant has been issued for Sherwood’s arrest.

Steve Penney, PT JEREMIAH WEEDEN AND HIS FIRST SET OF WHEELS — Jeremiah Weeden of Coalgate received a very special birthday gift this year — his first car! Jeremiah celebrated his 18th birthday on June 8, but he received the classic all-original 1976 Ford LTD Landau in April as an early birthday present. Jeremiah and his Ford have spent so much time together since April that Jeremiah decided the car needed a name. So…the Ford is now known as Larry. Larry may have a few years on Jeremiah, but with only 39,612 original miles, he and his owner undoubtedly will be friends for many more years. Belated happy 18th birthday wishes, Jeremiah! 1004 S Broadway, Coalgate.
