Clinton teacher receives grant; Updates FACS Ed Food LabClinton High School teacher Sherrie Johnson was one

of five recipients, and the first Oklahoma winner, of the Farmers Insurance “Dream Big” $100,000 grant that allowed her to finally realize her dream of renovating the 1966 Foods Lab. Her proposal was titled “Give a student a meal and he eats for a day. Teach him to cook and he eats for a lifetime.” With this mindset, she designed a new Foods Lab that would have a new floor plan, updated appliances, and new age kitchen technology. Her goal was to give more students and their families the opportunity to learn how to cook in a fun and controlled environment. After she was announced the winner, CHS quickly began working on renovating the old room. Now, they are less than two weeks away from unveiling the new FACS Ed

Foods Lab.With the help from the grant, Sherrie was able to get

everything she needed. The new lab is now a state-of-the-art, fully-utilized kitchen that blends both traditional and modern cooking techniques. Hopefully, students and community cooks will be excited to begin working in the Lab. Some of the new updates include: high-tech commercial equipment (like Wi-Fi cooking appliances and a new dishwasher), an indoor aeroponic gardening system where students will learn to grow herbs and vegetables, and NASA technology for preserving food by extending shelf life to 15-25 years. These updates should give students and FACS department members a nice location in which to expand their repertoire while staying ahead of the curve.

itself, draws very little fan-fare in Great Britain. This car has a tenuous link to The Beatles and the numismatic community. This car enjoyed an opening

bid price of $25,000 in Maryland. It is also covered in 4,000 British copper pennies. A coating of lacquer was added as protection for the pennies. All the pennies are pre-1968 and some are dated in the era of Queen Victoria.The Morris Mini is noted as being in superb shape for its

age but, the pennies are no longer in Mint shape condition.How many Lincoln cents would it take to cover a Lincoln

also see and hear some of the greatest rodeo support staff to ever enter an arena. Weston Rutkowski, or simply “The Beard”, will be returning for his third year as a bullfighter. Joining alongside him will be the western Oklahoma home boy from Dover, Chuck Swisher. No rodeo is complete without a rodeo clown and there’s no one else you’d want for the job besides Justin Rumford, the “Rumpshaker”. As one of the top rodeo clowns in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, you can bet he’ll be on his A-game each night.If you’re a thrill seeker and wish to get your heart racing,

then you’re in luck. Raising the attending audience’s blood pressure and skidding narrowly past near-death experiences is a normal day for this year’s specialty act, John Payne “The One Arm Bandit”. His act consists of him driving and spinning his expertly trained animals atop his custom trailer with a bullwhip and his trusty mule. John has won the PRCA’s Specialty Act of the Year fifteen times and he has performed his act around the world. You don’t want to miss this legendary performance. With this much excitement swirling around in the arena, it could be tough to follow all the action. Luckily, six-time PRCA Announcer of the Year and seven-time WNFR announcer Wayne Brooks will be returning for his 9th year working the Elk City Rodeo.Let’s be real. You can have the best talent in the world work

a rodeo, but you need the right kind of livestock too. After all, a cowboy is a man with guts and a horse, and there’s no better provider of rodeo livestock than the Beutler family. Every year the family travels around the country with their bulls and horses to give fresh-faced and grizzled veteran alike the shot at working with high class animals. Rhett

Beutler, his wife Tracy, and his kids all work together with his dad to take care of the ranch and the animals. Out of all the rodeos they go to, they say the Elk City Rodeo, their hometown rodeo, holds a special place in their lives. Rhett has never missed a year of the Rodeo of Champions, so make sure you give him and his family a special Oklahoma thank you for their hard work. When you go to the Rodeo, don’t forget to wear pink on

Sunday, September 2nd for the “Tough Enough to Wear Pink” night. That night will be focused on supporting all of those who have fought breast cancer. You can buy pink clothes at the rodeo from the local Relay for Life chapter and all proceeds will go to benefit Relay for Life. Tickets for the Rodeo are on sale now from Doug Gray

Dodge in Elk City and from Circle A Western Wear in Elk City. Tickets will also be available at the gate the nights of the rodeo. Bleacher seat prices: adult tickets $12 at the gate and $11 in advance; child tickets $10 at the gate and $9 in advance; and children 5 and under can get in for free in bleacher seat only. Grandstand seat tickets are $15 for all when purchased in advance and $18 at the gate. Specialty seating: box seats, chute seats, and sky box tickets are available through Doug Gray Dodge ONLY. The first night of the rodeo Friday, August 31st is Dr. Pepper Night – kids 12 and under get in free with a Dr. Pepper can (bleacher seats only).Vendors will be serving tons of food and selling fun

western items that you can only find at the rodeo. If you have even the slightest interest in attending, you better head over. With all the hard work put into it, you won’t be disappointed.

“Life is an investment. God planned it that way.” This quote from Wesley Duewel’s book, Measure Your Life” suggests that what we sow into the lives of others, what we do with our resources, and how we conduct our lives, will reap an eternal reward, either good or bad. This life as compared to eternity lasts about 5 seconds. While we all tend to think that we are bullet proof; that surely life will go

on as usual with no tragic circumstances, we are brought up short when we get a bad medical report, a heart-breaking phone call, or experience a broken relationship. The reality is that life can be and often is filled with pain. I recently visited two single mothers; each with three small children for which to provide not only the necessities of life but also the character traits and virtues that would allow them to be successful, productive adults, not repeating the generational cycle.The Ministerial Alliance was able to help with utility bills, I gave some

counsel and materials but the struggle will be long. But God loves and longs to be not just a part of their lives but the sustaining center of all their days and nights. I recently heard a statement: “You never look into the eyes of someone that God does not love.” If that is true and the Scriptures certainly teach that, then we too are accountable to put that same kind of love into action. Two agencies in Weatherford that certainly demonstrate that love are the Agape Clinic and the Et Cetera Shop. With many volunteers, they meet a wide assortment of needs and put love into action. I received a check from a former student with the simple statement,

“Expand the Kingdom.” I am responsible to be a good steward of that resource. I cannot spend it on myself. I carefully evaluate how to best use the money to advance the kingdom or demonstrate the love of Jesus. But in reality each of us has been given enormous resources with the

same admonition, “Expand the Kingdom.” The Kingdom of God that the Scriptures refer to is the rule and reign of God in the lives of people. Too often we allow society, commercials, and our own desire for comfort and convenience cloud the issues. Life is an investment. How are you investing your resources? I recently received a letter from an inmate serving a life sentence.

Expressing gratitude for the growth and instruction he had received from the Chains or Change program, he mentioned that he had attended a worship service and was planning to attend two inmate led Bible studies. He has been challenged to invest his life behind bars in the lives of people, many of whom have lost hope--- filled with resentment and bitterness. But these too need to experience the love of Christ. I leave you to ponder a strong statement from Duewel’s book and a Scripture verse to consider. “The person who has money to invest for God but fails to invest it is one of earth’s fools. Every person has a life to invest, time to invest, abilities to invest, money and possessions to invest.” “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously” (2 Corinthians 9:6)To comment: [email protected]

ProvidedBulldog Cross Country team picked to finish 7th in GAC poll pictured front row from left Yvette Tavarez, Haley Mandakunis, Itzel Flores, Dani Whiting, and Kinley Davis; back row from left Head Coach Shane Brookshire, Eliza Cummins, Brianne Kirchgessner, Josilyn Schenk, Bailey Richardson, and Alexis Davis.

SWOSU Men's Golf has been chosen to finish in the fourth spot in the Great American Conference for the 2018-2019 season according a poll of the leagues head coaches. The poll was announced by the conference on Thursday afternoon.After a national quarterfinal run, Arkansas Tech

received four first-place votes and holds the top spot in

the poll with 76 points, but were just one of three teams to receive a first-place vote. Southeastern Oklahoma State came in just three points behind Arkansas Tech with 73, while defending GAC champion Henderson State found themselves in the third spot with 65. SWOSU and Harding were tied for the fourth spot in the

poll garnering 55 points followed by Oklahoma Baptist, Southern Arkansas, Southern Nazarene, Northwestern Oklahoma State and Arkansas Monticello.

After a fourth-place finish in the GAC tournament and a sixth-straight regional appearance a season ago, the Bulldogs look to continue that success this season behind the play of returning All-GAC Second Team selection Kason Cook and fellow returner Gustavo Tineo who placed sixth at the Central/Midwest Super Regional last season. The Bulldogs hit the course to begin the season at the

Mule Invitational on Sept. 10 in Warrensburg, Missouri.

Fall sports kicks off in Western OklahomaLast Friday night was week zero, where several teams

kicked off their 2018 season. Weatherford soared past Chisholm with a 35-14 victory. This is the second straight season Weatherford has won their season opener 35-14, after last year’s opener against Guymon. The Eagles have a bye week next week and will play Piedmont on Sept. 7. Last year, Weatherford defeated Piedmont 9-6. Merritt had the largest margin of victory on the night

with a 70-0 win over Beaver. Cordell and Mooreland’s match-up couldn’t have been more different with Mooreland squeaking past Cordell 8-6. In Class B, Burns Flat-Dill City defeated Corn Bible Academy 60-14.Clinton, Elk City and Hinton all scrimmaged last

week and look to start their seasons this week. The Red Tornadoes will start their season on the road against 5A Woodward, while Elk City faces Bethany at home and

Hinton plays Walters at home. Weatherford Softball had no problem reaching home

scoring 22 runs this weekend. The Lady Eagles Friday 7-5 win against Ponca City and they were led by Haylee Garcia with three hits and two RBI’s. Friday was the only close game they faced this weekend, after large margin victories over Classen and Ponca City.Friday was a different story for the Clinton Red Tornadoes though, with their two games that couldn’t be more opposite of each other. They lost their first game in a 2-1 loss to Chisholm and were held to five hits. In the second game of the night, the Red Tornadoes blew away Kingfisher’s JV 10-0 in four innings. Clinton ended its weekend on a sour note though with a shutout loss 8-0 to Dibble. In College Athletics, It’s a big week for South Western

Oklahoma State University sports. The Bulldogs Soccer and Football teams start their seasons on Thursday. The SWOSU Soccer team last year won the Great American conference and finished with a 13-4-5 overall schedule. They open this year’s season against defending NCAA Division II National Champions Central Missouri. SWOSU lost last year’s season opener to Central Missouri 4-0. The Football team starts their season under new Head

Coach Chet Poblolish, who was Missouri Western’s Offensive Coordinator last season. SWOSU finished last season at 3-8 with one of their three wins being the season opener against the University of Arkansas at Monticello 20-19. The Bulldogs will once again open up the season against their conference foe the Weevils.
