Highway bill amendment could settle sign issue By Ken Milam PDN News Editor The six-year federal highway funding bill passed Thursday by the U.S. House of Representatives addresses a problem several area churches had faced over the size of their road signs, Rep. Markwayne Mullin said in a press release that he offered provisions to resolve the conflict between state and federal agencies over signs as well as encour- age U.S. automakers. The Surface Transportation Reauthorization and Reform Act passed by a vote of 363-64, the 2nd District Republican said. It will go to a conference committee to iron out differences between U.S. indicts county man it and the Senate version passed earlier this year. The size of church and civic group signs has been an issue because some have put up highway signs that comply with state law but not Federal Highway Administration regulations, which limits those signs exempted from registration requirements to eight square feet.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2015 BILL Heavener and other area communities have received notices to downsize or remove their signs or face legal action, legal fees and the cost of removal if the state chooses to remove the signs. Mullin’s amendment to the bill allows churches and civic groups to maintain informational highway signs no larger than 32 square feet, the press release said.. “The Oklahoma Department of Transportation and all state departments of transportation have more pressing things to do than be forced by the federal government to enforce the size of church and civic group signs,” Mullin said. “Now, we are one step closer to fixing this problem for good.” The bill includes two other measures offered by Mullin that support the U.S. automobile manufacturing industry. The first requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to provide the same incentives to automobile manufacturers for the production of natural gas vehicles that it does for the production of electric vehicles. The second enables small U.S. automobile manufacturers to produce up to 500 completed historic replica cars each year. These vehicles are ones that were produced more than 25 years ago, such as 1930s hot rods and 1965 Cobras. “We need to encourage growth in our manufacturing market, not create unnecessary barriers,” Mullin said. “I was happy to receive support from my colleagues on these important provisions.” TOYS ride participants.

Broadway. Edge specializes in internal medicine and pediatrics. She was inspired to become a physician at an early age. Raised by a single mother on public assistance, Edge was chronically sick growing up and often missed school. “Later as an adult, I found out that I had asthma, but I was never diagnosed as a child,” she said. “The problem was there was no continuity of care. Every time I went to the free clinic, I was seen by a new physician. I became a physician to prevent other children from going through what I did.” The Cleveland native served in the U.S. Air Force at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas, before earning her degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center Medical School in Houston. Edge loves traveling and music. She has played the drums since she was a teenager. She also is passionate about volunteering, mentoring and foster care. Dr. Arveitta “Vickey” Edge “I want to be a good community physician, a good community advocate,” she said. “I look forward to getting to know the area and becoming a part of the community.” Dr. Edge provides treatment for patients of all ages in areas including asthma, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, adolescent health, pediatrics, diabetes, hypertension and thyroid disease To learn more about the services she provides, visit SparksPhysicians.com or call (479) 709-DOCS.

OBITUARY Doris Anderson Smith Doris Anderson Smith died peacefully on Nov. 3, 2015, at the age of 86 in Plano, Texas. She is survived by her daughters, Mignon Caudle and husband Jim and Alison Lane and husband Scott, all of Plano. Doris was born Oct. 5, 1929, to Eula Beck and Clarence Anderson in Tuskahoma. She and her brother Duane were reared by their aunt and uncle, Clint and Elizabeth “Auntie” Lewis. She attended school in Clayton until age 14, when she moved to Muskogee to attend Boarding School at Bacone. She completed high school and junior college at Bacone and received her degree in music education from Northeastern Oklahoma State University. While at Bacone, Doris traveled extensively throughout the United States singing with a trio from Bacone and received numerous awards. She won the Miss Muskogee Pageant and advanced to the Miss Oklahoma Pageant in 1948 where she finished first runner-up and won the talent competition. Doris came home from Bacone College for Christmas break in 1948 and met the love of her life, M.G. Smith, who had just returned home from WWII and was the new basketball coach at Clayton High School. They were married a year later on Dec. 21, 1949. Doris and M.G. were married until his death 62 years later. Doris taught music and elementary education for many years. She was an accomplished vocalist and sang for weddings, funerals and in her church choir. She was a member of the First Baptist Church in Durant, the Fortnightly Club and PEO. Doris enjoyed traveling the world with her dear friends, Shirley Weder, Sally Clark, Doris Andrews and Lois Crow. She loved cooking, socializing, going to movies and the opera. Her smile would light up the room and she had a larger-than-life personality. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, M.G., and her brother, Duane Anderson.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2015 POTEAU DAILY NEWS Politics and perils of Muslim Missing the boat bashing on the campaign trail Editorial Round-up Editorial excerpt from Enid News and Eagle Oct. 24, 2014 In 2009, a foreign exchange student involved in a fatal car crash in Enid pleaded no contest to misdemeanor negligent homicide. So Jung Kim was driving east in the 3600 block of West Rupe when her pickup crossed the center line while she was changing her MP3 player. Kim struck a pickup driven by Jordan Harrell, 18, head on. Harrell was pinned for 44 minutes before being extricated by Enid Fire Department firefighters. A Chisholm High School student, he died at Integris Bass Baptist Health Center from his injuries. In Enid, calling distracted driving a potentially deadly issue is not hyperbole. Until a city of Enid ordinance banning texting while driving is put into place, the Enid Police Department will not be enforcing a state law going into effect Nov. 1 (except when another offense is involved). We were glad to hear an ordinance would be presented to the Enid City Commission during an Oct. 20 study session. During that study session, however, the commission did not discuss the texting ban, which was the eighth item on the agenda. Important items like Kaw Lake, a BMX track and comprehensive plan concepts on regional retail destinations were all discussed. Commissioners could not discuss the texting ordinance in the regular meeting because it wasn’t on the agenda. So, they were complying with the law by not talking about it. City spokesman Steve Kime said there was no discussion during the study session because time ran out. City Attorney Andrea Chism said she plans to place the item on the Nov. 3 agenda for discussion and, if the commission desires, a vote. If passed at that meeting, the ordinance would go into effect 30 days after it is published. “Like other topics, it will be moved to the next meeting,” Kime said. “I think the expectation is to discuss the texting topic, and then they (commission and Andrea) will agree on when to bring it to a vote. Typically, that’s the way it works.” This is frustrating considering the texting ban becomes law in one week and other cities already have passed emergency ordinances. The City Commission still has to hear it in study session before it goes to a regular meeting. At this speed, it will be December before they can do anything. We feel like Enid missed the boat, especially when the city prioritized enforcing ugly fences instead with a split vote. According to conventional presidential campaign wisdom, loose talk denigrating a religious tradition practiced by millions of Americans would seriously damage — if not sink — a candidate’s bid for the nomination of either major party. But in what is already the most unconventional presidential primary contest in modern history, Republican presidential hopefuls Ben Carson and Donald Trump continue to rise in the polls despite statements suggesting that American Muslims are somehow dangerous and un-American. Not only has anti-Islam rhetoric become politically acceptable in this campaign, it may actually be good politics in the fight for the Republican nomination. Carson — leading the field in the most recent national poll — made headlines this month when he declared that Muslims should be barred from the presidency unless, as he clarified later, they “reject the tenets of Islam.” Not to be outdone, Donald Trump, who is close behind Carson in the polls, let it be known during a television interview that he would consider closing some mosques as part of his anti-ISIS effort. When pressed about a mosque-closing strategy because of something called religious freedom, Trump said, “It depends, if the mosque is, you know, loaded for bear, I don’t know. You’re going to have to certainly look at it.” Trump and Carson are echoing a false and disturbing message about Islam disseminated over the past decade by a small number of anti-Muslim groups: Islam is America’s enemy — not extremists acting in the name of Islam, but Islam itself. Much like the nativists of the 19th century who warned that Roman Catholicism is incompatible with American principles, nativists of the 21st century are sounding the alarm about Islam in the United States. “Islam,” argues Ben Carson, “is not consistent with the Constitution.” Propaganda demonizing an entire faith community has consequences, especially when reinforced by leading candidates for the presidency. It’s worth recalling that in the heyday of antiCatholicism in America discredited rumors about the evils of convent life and “papist” plots to take over the country fueled widespread animus towards Catholics. Over a period of several decades, fear and hatred of Catholicism sparked periodic riots resulting in the loss of life and destruction of Catholic churches.

Haynes later, American Muslims are the new Catholics. Mosques are frequently vandalized, Muslims are facing workplace discrimination and hate groups are organizing anti-Islam campaigns. Last spring, the antiMuslim frenzy was on full display outside a mosque in Phoenix, Arizona. Hundreds of anti-Muslim demonstrators attended what they called a “patriotic” protest; most of them carrying guns and wearing profanity-laced T-shirts. Similar anti-Muslim protests were held outside mosques across the country this fall. Of course, these attacks on Islam are not undertaken in a vacuum. Violent terrorists and extremists calling themselves “Muslims” have done much to fuel the blanket condemnations of Islam by anti-Muslim groups in the United States. But propaganda only works when people are susceptible to the message. In addition to horrific world events, religious illiteracy, fear of the unknown and changing demographics are powerful drivers of prejudice. Ben Carson is simply wrong about Islam in America. Millions of American Muslims are simultaneously faithful followers of Islam and p a t r i o t i c Americans. And Donald Trump is wrong about the danger of mosques in America. The hundreds of mosques and Islamic centers that dot the American landscape today are not hotbeds of terrorism. On the contrary, they are places where people of faith are actively engaged in serving the community, promoting understanding across faiths and preventing radicalization among young people. Here’s the good news: When it comes to building bridges across religious divides, familiarity breeds understanding and respect. According to various studies, people who actually know a Muslim or take time to visit a mosque are far more likely to have favorable views of Islam. As reported last spring in The Washington Post, Jason Leger — one of the protesters outside the Phoenix mosque wearing a hate message on his T-shirt — accepted an invitation to join the evening prayer inside the mosque. “It was something I’ve never seen before,” Leger told the Post. “I took my shoes off. I kneeled. I saw a bunch of peaceful people. We all got along. They made me feel welcome, you know. I just think everybody’s points are getting misconstrued, saying things out of emotion, saying things they don’t believe.” Anyone who is serious about being president of “We the People” — including Ben Carson and Donald Trump — should visit a mosque, talk to the Americans worshipping there and find out the truth about Islam in America. Charles C. Haynes is vice president of the Newseum Institute and executive director of the Religious Freedom Center. Rep. Lockhart explains ‘why I got into politics’ Over the past few years many people have asked me what prompted me to run for office. I’ve never really talked about it much publicly because it’s a very personal thing. As a kid I never dreamed of being the president or governor. I dreamed of being the world champion calf roper. I went to college, and when I got out I took a job with state government in Nowata, almost 200 miles from my hometown of Heavener. I was supposed to be in Nowata for about a year and a half and then a job closer to home would open up after another employee retired. That was the plan anyway. But fate had other plans. A group of state representatives and state senators got together and basically created several new posi- tions in the agency I worked for, and their relatives were given these jobs. The job I was hoping for was basically given to a relative of a state senator. This guy received a new truck and all new equipment while the rest of us drove worn vehicles and got by with junky equipment; even our supervisor drove a worn-out truck. I spent a lot of time with my grandpa when I was growing up. Shortly after I moved to Nowata he was diagnosed with cancer. I was working in my yard in Nowata when I learned that he died. My first thought, after hearing the news of my grandpa’s passing, was that politician’s kid didn’t have to move away from his family to get a job, nor would he be 200 miles away Weekly Wrap James Lockhart when his grandfather died. I vowed right there I would do something about it. That’s when I decided to run for office someday. A couple years ago I filed legislation to make applicants for state jobs sign an affidavit affirming they were not in collusion with any elected official. It passed through the House of Representatives but stalled out in the Senate. All too often in southeastern Oklahoma, how far you get in life is determined by who you know, not what you know. That good ol’ boy system has gone on far too long and needs to end. As I enter into my last year as an elected official, I hope to ensure that future generations will be judged by the quality of their character and resumes instead of their family relations. I am going to file that collusion legislation again next year, so hopefully my kids and yours won’t get the short end of the stick the way I did.

Sports POTEAU DAILY NEWS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2015 . . . PAGE 5 Howe basketball teams begin seasons tonight at home against Wister By David Seeley PDN Sports Editor The basketball seasons will begin tonight for the Howe Lady Lions and Lions as they entertain county and Green Valley Conference rival Wister at the Howe Gym. The girls game will begin at 6:30 p.m., followed by the boys contest at 8 p.m. The Lady Lions were 26-3 last season and had two shots at making state at the Class 2A Area Tournament in Wilburton. They lost the finals to Preston 54-41 in overtime, then fell 46-44 to Quinton — which lost earlier in the regular season to Howe — in the consolation finals. The Lady Lions return three starters from a season ago — senior guards Kerstein Hall [6.1 points, 2.1 rebounds per game last year] and Jentry Brown [6.2 points, 1.9 rebounds] and junior forward Braden Dorsey [12.1 points, 7.4 rebounds]. Other players who likely will see quite a bit of playing time will be senior guards Lexi Denton and Kealy Brandin, senior forwards Macee Williams, Allison Beames and Karagin Angel, junior forwards Morgan Hillebrand and Lauren Ford, junior guard Taya Kellogg, sophomore guard Kennedi Cooper and freshman guard Jalei Oglesby. Oglesby showed some of what’s to come over the next four varsity seasons as she scored 40 points in the title game of last season’s LeFlore County Junior High Tournament as the Lady Lions downed Spiro to claim the county title. Rounding out the roster are senior guards Miriam Landeros and Brianna Branning, junior guard Tina Chuang, sophomore forwards Brittney Wann and Sara Fox, sophomore guards Morgan Turner and Elizabeth Crabtree, freshmen forwards Rachel Beames, Marlene Miller and Shae Singleterry [who played her junior high ball with Hodgen] and freshman guard Alena Vongnarath. “We are extremely excited about the upcoming season,” Howe girls coach Chris Brown said. “We have a challenging schedule in which we’re playing in both the Tournament of Champions in Tulsa [over Christmas break] and the Nike Tournament of Champions in Fort Smith, Ark. We also play at Muldrow and play Kiefer at Muskogee.” Brown said four areas where the Lady Lions will be strong will be defense, quickness, experience and depth, but a lack of size will hurt when it comes to rebounding. The Lions were 23-7 a season ago and got as far as the Class 2A Area Tournament consolation semifinals in Wilburton before seeing their season end. The Lions return four starters from last year’s team — senior guards Gaven Brown [16 points, nine rebounds per game last season] and Colten Meeks [six points, three rebounds], se- nior forward Josiah Mitchell [12 points, six rebounds] and sophomore guard Reid Frasher [eight points, three rebounds]. Rounding out the roster are seniors Clayton LeFlore, Pedro Rojas, Jake Lovell and Ryan Anthony and sophomores Reece Mitchell, Diego Sanchez, Trey Nation, Brant Denton and Tyler Singleterry. “We’ve got a tough schedule that should prepare us for the playoffs,” Howe boys coach Shane Brown said. “We’re an experienced team that will combine with some younger talent. We should improve throughout the season as the younger players adapt to their roles. We should make a good playoff run as we return four players that started games for us last year. We finished last year with 23 wins, made it to the area consolation finals and were ranked 12th in Class 2A. “We have proven leadership and scorers. We have several players that have been through big-time games and played in the state tournament [in 2014]. We’re physically strong and quick, and we play good defense. While we’ll be experienced, we’re going to use our talented underclassmen to complete our rotation. Our strength lies with our team. We play great team defense and execute offensively as a team. We could have any number of players stand out on any given night throughout the year.” Editor’s note: As more LeFlore County basketball teams’ season openers get closer AND their preseason questionnaires about those teams are received by the Poteau Daily News, look for more season-preview stories in future editions.

Pocola looks to get Senior Night upset over Hartshorne Miners By David Seeley PDN Sports Editor SENIOR NIGHT SUCCESS — Here are the Blackbeard and Bluebeard Award winners from last week’s Senior Night game victory over Fort Gibson. Austin Archey, left, is the Blackbeard Award Winner for being the Defensive Player of the Game. Roger Barcheers, center, and Austin “Speedy” Skelton were the Co-Bluebeard Award Winners for being the Co-Offensive Players of the Game. The awards are being sponsored this season by Dunn Country Dodge. PDN photo by David Seeley Poteau Pirates seek 10-0 regular season tonight, travel to face Tulsa Central By David Seeley PDN Sports Editor For the ninth time this season, the Poteau Pirates were 1-0 for the week as they won their Senior Night game 46-20 over Fort Gibson Oct. 29 at Costner Stadium. “It was a good win,” said new coach Forrest Mazey, whose team locked up the District 4A-4 championship with the win. “We battled back from some adversity [in the early stages of that game]. The kids did well, and I’m proud of them.” The Pirates (9-0, 6-0), ranked second in Class 4A, can make it a perfect regular season at 10-0 with a road win tonight when they face the Tulsa Central Braves at 7 p.m. at Reed Park in Tulsa. While there’s nothing realistically to play for and the game will be a playoff tune-up for the Pirates, there’s no time to take a step backward. “We’re going to be the No. 1 seed in District 4A4,” Mazey said. “Everything is essentially a lock, but you don’t want to have a letdown. You want to keep getting better every week. That’s what we aim to do.” The Braves (2-7, 1-5) are better than their record shows. Two of their district losses, against Tulsa Metro Christian last week and Fort Gibson on Oct. 9, were heartbreakers — and that alone has made the Pirates take notice of the Braves. The saying, “Only one team can win its final game,” normally talks about a team playing for a championship. However, it also can apply to teams who won’t have any more games after their regular-season finale. That’s the case for the Pocola Indians. The Indians (2-7, 0-5 in District 2A-6) will play their Senior Night home finale against the Hartshorne Miners (8-1, 4-1), tied for 13th in Class 2A, at 7 tonight at John Carter Field. “We know the challenge we have,” Pocola coach Rick Lang said. “Hartshorne is a good team. They’ve gotten a lot accomplished. They’re a playoff team and coming in at 8-1. They’re huge. They’re as big as any team we’ve faced all year. Over the years, we’ve played Hartshorne tough.” However, an upset win tonight will do a lot for the Indians. “It will leave a good taste in our mouths, but we’ve got to go line up and play,” Lang said. “We’ve got to match-up with them, be physical with them and we’ll see what happens.” Depending on the outcome of Thursday night’s Vian-Panama game at George Ollie Stadium, the Indians could play spoiler to the Miners. If Panama upset Vian, a Pocola win will give the district title to the archrival Razorbacks — since Panama will own the head-to-head tiebreaker of a victory over Vian. If Panama and Hartshorne are both victorious in the regular-season finales, it will cause a three-way tie for the top spot in the district. Then, the district points will determine the Nos. 1, 2 and 3 seeds for the playoffs from District 2A-6. “We know if we beat Hartshorne, we can help somebody out,” Lang said. “You just never know. We’ve been on both ends of that, having to wait until the [regular] season ends to see who you’re going to play [in the playoffs]. Football is a funny business. The kids know that. They can see how the district can play itself out. That just adds to the excitement of the game. It’s a fun part about it.” At times this season, the biggest foe for the Indians has been themselves. “We’ve got a young bunch,” Lang said. “At times, we’ve had times when we’ve succeeded and gotten better, and sometimes we play stupid football because of our youth. At the end of the day, the kids are still playing hard. There’s no quit in this bunch. They’re giving effort. They’re a fun bunch to coach. Win-loss is one thing, but the kids getting better and not quitting is the most important thing.” If the Indians want to pull off the upset tonight, it likely will take playing their best game of the season. “We’ve got to have a lot of things go our way,” Lang said. “We’re going to have to play well on both sides of the ball. We have to be physical, and not shoot ourselves in the foot. It’s been a lot about us and playing stupid football. We’ve done things are the wrong time. We’re going to have to tackle. Special teams will be big. We’ve have to get better special teams play to have a chance.” Unfortunately, the Indians will be without one of their key players. Receiver Corey Edwards will miss tonight’s game due to a concussion suffered in last week’s home loss to Wilburton. Heavener, Spiro travel to south to wrap up seasons tonight By David Seeley PDN Sports Editor “Their athleticism concerns us,” Mazey said. “They’re going to be one of the better coached teams we’ve played. Their record doesn’t indicate it, but they’ve had some adversity hit them. They’ve lost some close games, including [Tulsa] Metro [Christian] last week [33-30]. They were up 30 on Fort Gibson, and Fort Gibson came back to beat them [35-32]. They post a lot of problems. I think they’re going to be a good test for us.” Facing a team like the Braves will be a great way to prepare the Pirates for what’s ahead in the Class 4A playoffs, which will start next Friday night at Costner Stadium. (See POTEAU, Page 6) LeFlore County’s two District 3A-8 teams, the Heavener Wolves and the Spiro Bulldogs, will each hit the road tonight to McCurtain County to wrap up their 2015 seasons as the Wolves will face the Idabel Warriors and Spiro will be in a battle of Bulldogs with Valliant. Both games will kick off at 7 p.m. The Wolves (3-6 overall, 2-3 in district play) can only make the playoffs if two things happen. The Wolves must beat the Warriors (5-4, 3-2) and the Eufaula Ironheads (3-6, 3-2) must upset the Roland Rangers (8-1, 5-0) — who have already clinched the District 3A-8 title. In that scenario, Eufaula will be third at 4-2 in district play, while Heavener and Idabel each will be 3-3 and tied for fourth — but the Wolves’ win over the Warriors would give them the nod as the fourth seed. Any other scenario that takes place tonight will knock the Wolves from playoff contention. A Heavener win over Idabel and a Roland victory over Eufaula will put the Wolves, the Warriors and the Ironheads into a three-way tie for third, but due to Heavener’s low district point total the Wolves will not be able to snatch either the third or fourth seed playoff spots. A Heavener loss also will eliminate the Wolves from playoff contention. As for the Spiro Bulldogs (0-9, 0-5) when they play Valliant’s Bulldogs (0-9, 0-5), some canine group will get its first win of the season, but it should make for an entertaining game. Spiro has been outscored 367-125 so far this season and lost its season opener 41-40 to Stilwell at McClain Stadium when the Indians stopped the ’Dogs on a two-point conversion with 1:09 left to play in the game. On the other hand, Valliant has been outscored 382-67 and the closest game its ’Dogs have been in was a 27-15 loss to Heavener on Oct. 2 at Harvey Stadium. ••• For Heavener Fans to Get To Idabel — Take U.S. 59 south to U.S. 259.

Leflore girls open season with win over Moyers on Tuesday night MOYERS — The Tiffany Luttmer era got underway in fine fashion Tuesday night as the her new team, the Leflore Lady Savages, opened its basketball season with a 61-51 road win over the Moyers Lady Tigers. The Lady Savages (1-0), who trailed 29-26 at halftime, outscored the Lady Tigers 20-6 in the third quarter to take a 46-35 lead into the final period. Kaylee Roath led Leflore with a game-high 26 points, followed by Shaelyn Green with 11 points, Masey Brannon with seven points, Ayme Warren with five points, Madison Vaden and Hailey Brown with four points each and Emily Sinclair with three points. Some big showdowns to end regular season With the 2015 high school football regular season ending tonight, there are two monster games involving LeFlore County teams. Panama entertained Vian on Thursday night in a big District 2A-6 contest. If Panama, tied for 15th in Class 2A, upset Vian and Pocola upsets Hartshorne tonight, the Razorbacks would have won the district championship and have up to at least two home playoff games — possibly a third. If Panama and Hartshorne both end up winners on Week 10, there will be a three-way tie for first place, then the district points will determine playoff seeds one through three. Talihina, ranked 11th in Class A, and Sallisaw-Central will play for the District A-8 championship at 7 tonight in Sequoyah County. The winner will be the district champion and get up to three home playoff games, while the loser will be the district runners-up and get a home playoff game before going on the road in the second round. The Poteau Pirates, ranked second in Class 4A, will try for a perfect 10-0 regular season at 7 tonight in a road game against Tulsa Central. From the opposite perspective, Arkoma will try to end the season at .500 with a road win over Caddo, while Bokoshe and Spiro will try to win their first games of the season as the Tigers entertain Class C's second-ranked Fox Foxes and the Bulldogs head to Valliant for a battle of the Bulldogs. Players of the Week Offensive — Ben Klutts, Roger Barcheers, Austin "Speedy" Skelton, Poteau. The Pirates' version of the three-headed monster [appropriate since it was Halloween Week] proved to be too much in last Thursday's Senior Night win over Fort Gibson at Costner Stadium. Barcheers rushed for 210 yards and scored three touchdowns en route to eclipsing 6,000 yards for his career. Klutts passed for 249 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 37 yards and scoring two TDs, and in so doing he passed his brother, Garrett, as the all-time leading passer in PHS history with 3,599 yards. Skelton hauled in 11 passes for 168 yards and a TD. Between the three of them, they amassed 470 total all-purpose yards of Poteau's total of 536. However, kudos to Poteau place-kicker Jesse Barnes for setting the school record for extra points with 92. Defensive — Austin Archey and Antonio Martinez, Poteau. Archey had 16 tackles, seven solo, two for loss, a quarterback sack and a pass break-up in Poteau's Senior Night win over Fort Gibson. Martinez had eight tackles, six solo, two for loss and a QB sack in the Fort Gibson victory — with his tackles for loss securing the school record at 43, and growing with at least two more games ahead. 100-Yard Rushers Roger Barcheers, Poteau — 210 yards, three touchdowns. Eric Smith, Talihina — 193 yards, two TDs. Carter Cochran, Talihina — 121 yards, two TDs. Sooner Box, Talihina — 117 yards, two TDs. 100-Yard Passers Ben Klutts, Poteau — 249 yards, touchdown. 100-Yard Receivers Austin "Speedy" Skelton, Poteau — 168 yards, touchdown. Scoring [Minimum of 12 points] Roger Barcheers, Poteau — 18 points. Eric Smith, Talihina — 18 points. Carter Cochran, Talihina — 14 points. Ben Klutts, Poteau — 12 points.

With those two things themselves, you’ve got to be on your toes and be ready for anything to happen.” All season, Mazey has preached about winning three key areas, and it’s no different this week. “It would have to be winning the battle of turnovers, third-down conversions and red-zone [scoring] percentage,” he said. “They all have to be good for us. We want all those to be in the positive for us. It’s what we practice every day on the field, and that’s what we’re shooting for on the field [tonight].” ••• To Get There — Take U.S. 59 north to Sallisaw.

DeMar DeRozan scored 10 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter, and the undefeated Raptors overcame an eight-point deficit in the final six minutes to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 103-98 on Wednesday night. Toronto shot 42 percent but fought through that for its best win yet. "I don't know how many games we're going to win, but I do know that we're going to scrap," coach Dwane Casey said. "We're going to compete, play hard, get after people. Tonight, our shots weren't falling and we attacked the rim and got to the free throw line, made the officials make a decision and forced the defense to react." Jonas Valanciunas had 17 points and 12 rebounds and Kyle Lowry added 17 points for the Raptors (5-0), who beat Dallas the night before. Toronto benefited from 19 Oklahoma City turnovers and outscored the Thunder 32-12 at the foul line. Oklahoma City lost its second straight despite shooting 48 percent. It was the first time this season the Thunder scored fewer than 100 points. "It's all correctable stuff," star forward Kevin Durant said. "I'm not worried at all. It's not like we just can't get a grip on what's going wrong. We turn the ball over and we foul. That's the game." Russell Westbrook scored 20 of his 22 points in the second half and finished with 16 assists. Durant had 27 points and Enes Kanter added 15 for the Thunder. PAGE 8 . . .

Honest communication is the first step toward solving your problems. Don't allow anyone to take advantage of your generosity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Overextending your budget will result in added pressure. Travel and trinkets are enjoyable, but not if you are putting your financial future in jeopardy. Don't give in to demands or ultimatums. THE BORN LOSER© by Art and Chip Sansom FRANK & ERNEST© by Bob Thaves THE GRIZZWELLS© by Bill Schorr MONTY© by Jim Meddick THATABABY© by Paul Trap Friday, Nov. 6, 2015 Today is the 310th day of 2015 and the 45th day of autumn. TODAY'S HISTORY: In 1860, Abraham Lincoln defeated three other candidates to win the presidency. In 1861, voters in the Confederate States of America elected Jefferson Davis president. In 1947, "Meet the Press" made its television debut. In 1975, punk rock pioneers the Sex Pistols played their first concert. In 1995, Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell announced a deal that would move the nearly 50-year-old NFL franchise to Baltimore. TODAY'S BIRTHDAYS: Charles Dow (1851-1902), economist/journalist; John Philip Sousa (1854-1932), composer; James Naismith (1861-1939), inventor of basketball; Zig Ziglar (1926-2012), author; Mike Nichols (1931-2014), filmmaker; Sally Field (1946- ), actress; Glenn Frey (1948- ), singer-songwriter; Ethan Hawke (1970- ), actor; Rebecca Romijn (1972- ), model/actress; Pat Tillman (19762004), football player; Emma Stone (1988- ), actress. TODAY'S FACT: "Meet the Press," which is the longestrunning television series in history and is still on the air, began in 1945 as a radio show called "American Mercury Presents: Meet the Press." TODAY'S SPORTS: In 1869, Rutgers College defeated Princeton University (then known as the College of New Jersey) by the score of 6-4 in the first modern intercollegiate football game. TODAY'S QUOTE: "What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals." – Zig Ziglar TODAY'S NUMBER: 6 - years in the term for which Jefferson Davis was elected to serve as president. The Civil War ended before his term expired. TODAY'S MOON: Between last quarter moon (Nov. 3) and new moon (Nov. 11). Sense & Sensitivity DEAR HARRIETTE: My elementary-aged children have asked me why I don't give money to people on the street. I don't know how to explain to them that some of these people are drug addicts, and that I do not want to support anyone's life-ruining habit. I usually say that we don't have cash to give them right now, but as they get older, I know I will have to explain homelessness to them more. What do you think is the right age to get children thinking about devastating issues like this? I do not want to depress them. – No Money for Homeless, Dallas, TX DEAR NO MONEY FOR HOMELESS: I started talking to my daughter about the conditions of people with whom we interact on a regular basis from the start. When we pass homeless people, I do not typically give them money, but I do greet them on occasion. For example, if someone speaks to me, I acknowledge him or her. At your children's ages, you can definitely talk to them about the reality that some people struggle far more than your family, including not having a place to live. You can tell them that some of these people are mentally ill, while others may have lost their jobs and their homes. Tell them that you feel compassion for them, but the way that you support the homeless is through charitable giving. You can engage your children in saving money that they can donate periodically to homeless shelters or other organizations that support those in need. In this way, you show them by example how they can By Harriette Cole help others. DEAR HARRIETTE: My girlfriend has been driving me wild about getting engaged. We are at the point in our lives where everyone seems to be getting married. My girl wants me to propose to her as soon as possible, and has even gone ring shopping for herself! She thankfully didn't buy a ring and probably just wanted to make it clear she was very, very ready to get hitched. I don't think I'm ready, but she doesn't seem to understand. She thinks I just don't want to go through with wedding planning when I really just don't want to be married until I turn 30, which is in three years. Is there any way I can get her to hop off the engagement train? I just want to take it easy for now and stress about marriage later in life. Besides, it's expensive! – No Bling Yet, Shreveport, LA DEAR NO BLING YET: You and your girlfriend need to have a serious sit-down. Beforehand, decide for yourself how you feel about her. You already know you don't want to consider marriage until three years out. Do you envision that she might be the one when you get there? If there is a chance as you take the long view, you can tell her that. If not, be clear that right now you just want to enjoy your life, and while you do appreciate spending time with her, marriage is not on the table for you. Know that she may want to move on and find a husband. Being honorable and clear now may lose you a girlfriend in the short term, but it will gain you peace of mind moving forward.
