Illegal Taxidermy Seized at Wildlife Ranch in Calvin
Allen Advocate VOLUME 67 NUMBER 42 ALLEN, PONTOTOC COUNTY , OKLAHOMA 1 SECTION (USPS 543600) 50¢ THURSDAY, JULY 17, 2014 Monthly City Council Meeting Notes The Allen City council met for the regular July meeting on July 7. Mike Todd was absent due to illness. It was a short meeting and after the formalities of paying the bills items discussed were dog nuisances and lawn abatement letters. It was mentioned the dogcatcher needed a new dog pole and loop. This will ensure a safe capture for the animal and the dogcatcher. The last CDBG grant has finally had all the paperwork and pay request finalized and after final inspection Allen will be ready to apply for another grant. This grant replaced motors and items at the water wells and also replaced 7 fire hydrants in the town. It was also mentioned it was time to start application for REAP grants and after reviewing the list. A decision will be made next month on what is most likely to receive funding. Billy Sanford gave the monthly police report. During the month of June the department investigated 2 cases of child endangerment and child abuse, vandalism, hit and run, reckless driving, domestic disturbance, prowler, fraud, public intoxication, stolen property, suspicious persons, motorist assist and assisted other agencies with stolen property cases, alarms, animal at large, welfare check and working on clearing warrant lists. The Allen PD helped DHS remove a child from one house, arresting the parents for child abuse, child endangerment and conspiracy to commit a felony. They also arrested an individual that had a warrant out of Seminole county for $25,000. That arrest was made from a simple rolling through a stop sign. During the month $9,045 in citations were written and $707 in warrant money was collected. ILLEGAL TAXIDERMY SEIZED AT CALVIN WILDLIFE RANCH — Chief Jerry Flowers, Ricky Rushing and Eddie Davenport, Special Agents with the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry’s Investigative Services Division, stand with some of the illegal taxidermy seized from the Triple S Wildlife Ranch and Resort in Calvin. Illegal Taxidermy Seized at Wildlife Ranch in Calvin A Hughes County wildlife ranch is at the center of an investigation that stems from the attempted sale of stolen ATVs. On Wednesday, July 9, officials from the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry’s Investigative Services Divi- ~~ Atwood Reunion ~~ Jim Wilkinson, Alene Blackburn Borders, Merle Dean Sparks Wilkinson & Leon Irwin sion with assistance from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Oklahoma Veterinary Medical Examiners and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol descended upon Triple S Wildlife Ranch and Resort in Calvin. Executing a warrant, the agents searched the 3,000 acre property and found a number of state and federal violations. A number of stolen ATVs were found on the property as well as two stolen tractors that were used in the daily operations of the ranch. A number of controlled narcotics were also found on the property. These drugs were used to conduct what are called green hunts. The animals are shot with the narcotics, which sedate them. Once the hunter takes a trophy photo with the animal, it is brought out of sedation. These hunts are typically done when the animal is in need of veterinary medical attention. However, Triple S was conducting these hunts strictly for profit and not for the animal’s health. As the Oklahoma Veterinary Medical Examiners explained, these drugs are not illegal, but it is illegal for this type of facility to obtain them. The ranch’s lodge was filled with mounted animals, many of them species that are illegal to have and sell in Oklahoma. The evidence seized by Special Agents included several duck mounts that Triple S had for sale. The sale of water fowl taxidermy violates federal law. Some of the more exotic seizures included a Caracara Mexican Eagle, Scimitar oryx and an Addax. The Scimitar oryx is an extinct species once found in North Africa. The mount seized included a tag that clearly stated it could only be owned in Texas. The Addax is a type of antelope found in Africa and is near extinction in their native habitat. A number of state and federal charges could be brought against the Triple S Wildlife Ranch and Resort. The name of the ranch owner has not been released as charges are still pending.

The recording told me that was no longer a working number. Like so many others he is now using his cell phone only. Those of us with landlines are a dwindling number. In fact, in the not so distant future, landlines may go the way of telephone operators. Residents of Carbon Hill, Alabama, and Delray Beach, Florida, may be among the first to bid farewell to traditional landline phone service. If federal regulators approve, AT&T, America’s largest phone company, will use the two towns as testing grounds for the future of telephone technology. New customers in both towns would be unable to sign up for a traditional telephone line, and instead would have to use internet-based or wireless phone connections. The experiment is part of a slow, industry-led transition to next-generation voice service. After decades of connecting distant friends and relatives over small copper wires and circuit-switched networks, plain old telephone service (the industry calls it “POTS”) appears to be going the way of the dinosaurs. AT&T wants to retire its circuit-switched networks by 2020. Many people have already ditched their landline phones in a practical effort to cut home utility bills. About two out of five U.S. households rely exclusively on cell phones. Many others are using landline phones that channel their voices over the internet, in the form of data “packets,” rather than through a traditional, direct phone line. In some cases, people don’t even realize they’ve made the switch: It generally occurs when telecommunications providers (including cable companies) bundle phone and broadband internet service plans. Daniel Lyons, who teaches at Boston College Law School and specializes in telecommunications law, says the THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, JULY 17, 2014 -PAGE 3 down, and they work well with 911 service. The nextgen networks could have trouble with both issues. In addition, federal regulators have a giant puzzle in their hands. They’ve long required phone providers to interconnect calls without interruption, and to make phone service available even to rural customers. Those rules, among others, may not directly apply to internet-based calls, so now regulators have to determine how to apply old laws to new networks, something Lyons said could be like “trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.” And then there’s always the matter of keeping customers happy. The Federal Communications Commis- sion says it will be listening for complaints from Americans—such as those in Carbon Hill and Delray— who liked their plain old telephone service better. I enjoyed the days when the operator said, “Number, please”, and I especially enjoyed the party lines. I learned more eavesdropping in the evenings than I did at school. —CC— Speaking of phones, Ed Lucas writes . . . A phone company representative called to ask if I was interested in caller ID. Since I’m blind, I asked, “Does it come in Braille?” The rep put me on hold. When she returned, she replied, “I’m sorry, sir, but the caller ID box doesn’t come in that color.” Furniture Take % 60OFF Furniture Store Prices Sofas Loveseats & More Walls Ada 806 Arlington Center 10 - 7 Mon - Sat Closed Sundays XXXXBMMTCBSHBJODFOUFSDPN THE ALLEN ADVOCATE, JULY 17, 2014 --PAGE 4 Threads of Life Democrat or Republican by Cleo Emerson LeVally Democrat or Republican I have worked at the voting site in my community for several years and usually don’t think too much about whether a person is registered as a Democrat or a Republican, but every election when the race is for President & Vice President, Senators and Representatives, I feel bad because not all of the people have a choice as to whether they can vote for the person of their choice, no matter what party they are. They receive a ballot for the way they are registered, until the General Election, and then all candidates chosen up to that time are listed, and they can vote the way they choose. A lot of people register as a Democrat so they can vote in most elections. People who register as Independent, thinking they can always vote for whomever they choose, regardless of the party, that seem to be left out. At primary elections they only receive the Independent Ballot. If no one runs on a ticket as an Independent, there is no one for them Now Accepting New Patients! on cati ars o L e Ye Sam er 15 v o for Office Hours Mon - Fri 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Close at noon on Thursday AllenMichelle Health Clinic Barlow, D.O.

Those who register as a Democrat get a Democrat ticket at the Primary elections. Those who register as Republican get a ballot listing those who are running on the Republic ticket. Same as the Independent ticket. Those who register as an Independent get only a ballot with those who run on the Independent ticket. , My father, for instance, called himself a ‘Yellow Dog Democrat’. That means he would rather vote for a Yellow Dog than vote for a Republican. I have a brother who feels along the same lines. He will only vote for a Democrat. I try to analyze the person the best I can and then vote the way I have chosen. But I do want to vote. I want to have my vote count. I was born in 1922 when Harding was President. In 1940 I became eligible to vote and I voted for Franklin D. Roosevelt as the first President I was able to vote for. I have voted in every election since that time. I try to study their platform and then make my choice. Looking back, I have voted for a lot of Republicans. So what am I-a Democrat or a Republican? I’ll probably keep on voting the best way I know how, and hope I have made the right decision.

Jim Weddle, the firm’s managing partner, said the award is a strong indicator of a financial advisor’s future success. “We recruit and hire our financial advisors from among the best, so we expect our financial advisors to do well,” Weddle said. “But to achieve such success this early in his career is outstanding, and I commend Taylor for his performance and dedication.” Edward Jones, a Fortune 500 company, provides financial services for individual investors in the United States and, through its affiliate, in Canada.

An old high school friend, Dr. Duane Riley had tied the knot for us and I guess he did a good job. I remember little of what he said but I do know we are still married. But how did you do it? A young man wanted to know some years later. Not being the first to inquire I set out to tell him. First of all, I explained, it takes a lot of thought and planning. Some like to say love is involved but that really isn’t the case at all. I’ve known a lot of people How to keep on being married who have been married over 50 years that don’t even like each other but yet, they stay together year after year. Is it making lots of money? No. I know lots of poverty stricken people who stick together too. No, it’s something else entirely. Something almost spiritual. You just have to understand the wants and needs of a woman to keep them happy. And I know what they are. First of all, understand that women have a strong need to serve their man and if you are smart you will watch out for these opportunities for service. For example, if I am seated in my den and my wife is Light from God’s Word Mark Legg, Allen church of Christ Global Positioning Systems devices (GPS) can be a great help. However blind trust in them can certainly bring trouble. It is told that one man drove his car into a lake when he turned exactly as instructed by the device. My wife and I ended up on a dirt road in a farmer’s pasture when we followed the directions the device gave us. It should have told us, it was recalculating and to turn around, but it didn’t. In religious matter, it is surprising how many will blindly follow instructions they are given. Some have sold their possessions and even climbed to the top of mountains and hills because they were told that Jesus was returning on a certain day. Radical Islam promises that by killing unbelievers, people will go to paradise. People are so gullible; some will believe almost anything. However, every religious teaching is not the truth and God warns us to not be deceived by falsehood. The Apostle John wrote, “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” (1 John 4:1) We must not have mindless devotion to religious leaders, but test their teaching by the word of God as the Bereans tested the words of the Apostle Paul. They “received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.” (Acts 17:11) We are saved by obedience to God’s word, not the word of any religious leaders. Jesus said, “He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him — the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.” (John 12:48) Do you obey God’s word? way back in the laundry room washing my underwear and I need my coffee cup refilled I don’t just hop up and get it. Not if I want to score some points here I don’t. No, I yell until I get her attention so she can bring it to me. I do it for myself but if she sees me doing something she feels is “her job” she will start having feelings of rejection and other fears of inadequacy. While we may chuckle at this being waited on hand and foot, it’s the only way to go if you want to stay married. Let her do the housecleaning. I know it may be easier to just roll the vacuum out and do it yourself but when you do, watch out! You running the vacuum is telling her you think the floor is dirty and it’s her fault. Leave it in the closet. Avoid dust rags and whatever you do don’t jump up after a meal and start loading the dishwasher—especially in front of the kids or visitors. She will be humiliated. In the rare event you feel you need to eat out, take your wife and baby with you. It’s yet another opportunity for you to show your true love. Avoid carrying the infant into the restaurant. Many dads love to help out here but beware the pitfalls. Carry the diaper bag? Not hardly. Let her make two trips if necessary while you look on protectively, opening doors and helping her get settled and all. She’ll love you for it. And listen closely: To avoid a lot of hurt to the mom don’t ever change a diaper if the mom is there to do it. For the sake of the family a man needs to avoid such acts as bathing, feeding and wanting to hold the baby very much. It not only makes her feel more love toward you and pride for herself it is a good object lesson for the baby too---seeing what daddy’s role actually is. Sometimes a wife has to go out of town for a few days—such as for her mother’s funeral or something of that sort. If it is convenient you should go with her but we all know a man has to work hard to support his wife so most likely you will stay home alone. While she’s away, don’t go crazy and start doing housework. Stack up the dishes you mess up. Eat a lot of “take-out” and leave the greasy sacks on her coffee table and when you have to do a little laundry hang up your underwear on her antique chandelier. Leave a few dresser drawers open wide. Garbage? It can wait too. She’ll fuss a little but there will be a little satisfied smile on her pretty face and you will never see a time when she is more contented. Not only is she back with the man she loves, she can find a lot to do for him. I hope all you guys enjoy your marriage as much as I have mine and for that let me say, “You ‘re welcome.” Oh, and don’t neglect your church this weekend.

Last year, as in years past, our tap water met all U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state drinking water health standards. Local Water vigilantly safeguards its water supplies and once again we are proud to report that our system has not violated a maximum contaminant level or any other water quality standard. Do I need to take special precautions? Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/ Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Water Drinking Hotline (800-426-4791). Where does my water come from? Wells located on the S. Canadian River alluvial and terrace Source water assessment and its availability A source water assessment report has been completed and can be located at city hall Why are there contaminants in my drinking water? Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity:microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, that may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife; inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial, or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming; pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses; organic Chemical Contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems; and radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. How can I get involved? Regulary-scheduled meetings are held each month on the first tuesday at 7:30 pm Cross Connection Control Survey The purpose of this survey is to determine whether a cross-connection may exist at your home or business. A cross connection is an unprotected or improper connection to the public water distribution system, that may cause contamination or pollution to enter the system. We are responsible for enforcing cross connection control regulation and insuring that no contaminations an, under any flow condition enter the distribution system. If you have any of the devices listed below pleas contact us so that we can discuss the issue, and if needed, survey your connection and assist you in isolating it if that is necessary • Boiler/Radiant heater (water heaters not included) • Underground lawn sprinkler system • Pool or hot tub (whirlpool tubs not included) • Additional sources of water on the property • Decorative pond • Watering trough Additional Information for Lead If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. City of Francis is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
