By Marione MartinWheat harvesters weren’t the

only ones hoping for sunshine. Unseasonably cool weather and recent rains have delayed the start of asphalt street work in Alva. City Business Manager Joe Don Dunham said street projects are about four weeks behind because of the weather.

The Alva Street Department began work with the new-to-them asphalt laying machine this week. The city bought the lightly used machine from the county a few months ago.

Dunham said work on Church Street would be first followed by Sunset, Young, 14th and 12th. The asphalt has to be in a particular temperature range which means it can’t be applied during cool, rainy weather. The hot asphalt mix is transported from an Enid plant to Alva on the day it is applied.

Dunham said when the 2016 plan is completed, 85 percent of the Alva streets will have received resurfacing or other required maintenance.

Library RoofWork started Tuesday on

replacing the roof at the Alva Public Library. High bids and bidders lacking required qualifications delayed the project. The city council was finally able to accept a bid in May.

The library summer reading program for youth began Monday with about 150 enrolled.

Water ProjectsSeiling Street: A waterline

project was slated to start this week, too. The Seiling Street waterline replacement was set to begin on Monday. City employees are doing that work.

AMR Project: Dunham said the AMR (automatic meter reading) water project was declared completely installed on May 25. The first billing cycle using the system was mailed in May. The city staff is working to strengthen some

billing issues.Now the water department will

start installing the AMR meters at city-owned properties. Although the city doesn’t bill itself for water usage, the office wants to track water usage so they can account for all water pumped from the Alva well field and flowing through the city’s system.

8th and Young Waterline: The construction and installation of the major water distribution line along Young, Monroe and 8th streets is complete, Dunham said. However, the whole project is not complete. The installation of sod is still not finished. Luckinbill, the contractor, told the city that sodding of several properties has been contracted out to Coffman Landscaping. Luckinbill will sod the remainder.

Once all the sod is in place, it will be the property owner’s responsibility to water the grass. The project will have a one-year warranty. If there is settling or faulty sod, the city will need to contact Luckinbill so they can address and/or repair the issues.

Mosquito SprayingDunham said he’s had several

people voice concern about the Zika virus carried by mosquitoes and ask about the city spraying outdoor areas such as the parks.

He said he would do some checking on the cost. The city does not have that type of equipment so would have to contract with a firm who could do the work. Purchasing the equipment might be possible in the future, but it is not included in next year’s budget.

Alva Vision CommitteeIn March the City of Alva held

a retreat for department heads, employees, city council members and other city officials. A group of city employees, one from each department, has volunteered to be a part of the City of Alva Employee Vision Statement Development. The development of this vision statement will give employees a

Making streets while the sun shinescommon goal to work toward.

While each department is working to achieve individual goals or mandates, there is no common goal for all departments, said Dunham. This group recently held an initial meeting.

Dunham described the vision statement as a “future-oriented declaration of the City’s purpose and aspirations.” He said it will play three critical roles: (1) communicate the purpose of the city to the citizens, (2) inform strategy development, and (3) develop the measurable goals and

objectives by which the success of the city and the employees can be gauged.

Once the vision statement is completed, it will be brought to the city council for adoption.

Integris Medical Healthcare Facility

After having their application turned down by the city last year, the Integris Medical Center has once again applied for a permit to open a healthcare center in Alva. Only one written comment was received during the comment phase, and it has been forwarded to

Integris for any comment in reply.Dunham said Eide Baily was

retained again to perform the required needs assessment. The city received an email version of the summary letter and as of Monday was awaiting the full report.

Planning Commission members are being polled about a possible date for a special meeting. That’s the next step in the process. After the Planning Commission meets and makes a recommendation, the Alva City Council will have final action on the permit.

Earthquakes continue in northwest OklahomaBy Marione Martin

The rumble of wheat trucks in Alva has replaced the rumble of earthquakes in most residents’ awareness recently. But earthquakes are continuing to occur across the state.

The 5.1 earthquake near Fairview in early 2016 still holds the record for the largest magnitude this year. However, a 3.9 at Luther is the largest for June. Just this week, Pawnee and Fairview experienced 3.9 quakes.

According to the USGS, as of the morning of June 9 Oklahoma had experienced 16 earthquakes in the last seven days, 59 in the past month and 1,334 in the past year. Tremors below 2.0 are not included.

Early Thursday morning, there were three earthquakes reported in northwest Oklahoma. At 3:02 a.m. a 3.7 was recorded 20 miles northwest of Fairview. At 5:35 a.m. there was a 2.6 located three miles east northeast of Hennessey, and at 6:15 a.m. a 3.4 magnitude quake hit 16 miles south southeast of Medford.

This portion of an earthquake map shows that earthquakes are still occurring on a regular basis. The two circles at the left are recent tremors northwest of Fairview while top right circles show some near Medford and the lower right circle is near Hennessey.

Oklahoma City – Nine area teachers recently attended a teacher-training workshop hosted by the Oklahoma Energy Resources Board, and walked away with hundreds of dollars in free classroom supplies. Now, they are encouraging other Oklahoma teachers to sign up for the free program.

OERB workshops instruct teachers how to use one of the OERB’s eight energy and science curricula in their classrooms. The curricula provide teachers from kindergarten through 12th grade hands-on lessons to educate their students about the oil and natural gas industry. The high school curricula also incorporate language arts and social studies.

The teachers from the Woods County area who attended the workshop are Sara Eckhardt (Lincoln Elementary, Alva), Melissa Maharry, Karolyn Cole and Gail Swallow (Longfellow Elementary, Alva), Whitney Cotton and Kayla Gilchrist (Washington Early Childhood Center, Alva), Lauren Blubaugh and Jennifer Williams (Freedom Public Schools) and Marjie Bagley (Waynoka Public Schools).

“We wanted to provide Oklahoma teachers with a program that engages their students, while also meeting state academic standards,” said OERB Education

Director Carla Schaeperkoetter. “We used oil and natural gas industry professionals and teamed them up with teachers to write the lessons. This way we know the lessons are not only well designed, but really engage the students in a meaningful way.”

OERB workshops are free of charge, and train teachers in how to appropriately use the curricula in their classrooms. Upon completion of the workshop, teachers go home with a free box of supplies worth up to $1,100, a teacher’s guide and are mailed a $50 stipend for attending. Teachers who complete a curriculum also receive a free field trip for their classroom, and six hours of professional development credits.

“The field trip is a really exciting benefit for the teachers,” said Schaeperkoetter. “Many times they tell us that this is the only field trip their kids get all year. Otherwise they wouldn’t have the resources to take them.”

The OERB is in its 19th year offering these free workshops. The hands-on curricula reach students at all ages and grade levels. The OERB provides the Little Bits program for early childhood education, Fossils to Fuel and Fossils to Fuel 2 program for elementary students, a Petro Active program for middle school students and CORE Energy for high school students, which

offers a language arts, social studies or science curriculum. Each curriculum uses lab experiments, reading assignments, games and more.

Melissa Maharry teaches second grade at Longfellow Elementary. She attended the workshop to learn how to implement the Little Bits curriculum in her classroom.

“We live in oil and natural gas country. Students will benefit from safety lessons and the history of the industry,” she said. “They will love the hands-on lessons.”

Kayla Gilchrist teaches first grade at Washington Early Childhood Center, and said she would recommend the OERB workshops to other teachers.

“We learned a lot of great ideas and are being provided a curriculum and materials to teach the lessons in our classrooms,” she said.

For more information on OERB’s education programs, or to sign up for a workshop, visit www.oerb.com and click on the “For Educators” tab.

The OERB was created in 1993 by the Oklahoma Legislature and is funded through a voluntary one tenth of 1 percent assessment on oil and natural gas producers and royalty owners. The agency’s purpose is to conduct environmental restoration of abandoned well sites and to educate Oklahomans about the importance of the petroleum industry.

By Lynn L. MartinAn oilfield company, DCP

Midstream LP, with transmission pipelines through Woods County has challenged their tax assess-ment by assessor Renetta Ben-son. The actual footwork on the assessment was accomplished by TASC (Total Assessment Solu-tions Corp.), which is employed by the Woods County Assessors Office because they specialize in monitoring oilfield assets.

Using a speaker-telephone, DCP Tax Manager Scott Crisler spoke from Denver to the ex-cise board, the county clerk, the county assessor, a county attor-ney, a representative of TASC and the news media, explaining why their assessment should be reduced. Of the excise board, Chris Olson was present along with Bob Seivert. The third ex-cise board member, Joe Shirley, was absent.

After both sides presented their reasons, the board deferred making a decision because DCP had not provided any data exclu-sive to the operations in Woods County. The board gave them

until June 18 to provide that in-formation.

In the telephone discussion, DCP argued that the rig count is down by 74 units, production volume in the oilfield in general is down 14-19 percent and their workforce is down 600-700 peo-ple. They also mentioned that assessors in Texas were giving them tax reductions. (This ar-gument did not sit well with an excise board in Oklahoma.) DCP argued that the value of much of their equipment in the oilfield has plummeted to scrap metal value.

The TASC (Woods County) argument in defense of their as-sessment is that they started with the “settled” assessment from last year and added the appro-priate assessment for 6 miles of new transmission line construct-ed this year.

Board Chair Olson asked if they could supply operating profit figures for the pipelines in Woods County, and the answer was “No, their figures are for a group of counties in Oklahoma.” Olson speculated that the amount

of revenue from the 250 miles of pipeline in Woods County has likely gone up, if for no other reason than they added six more miles of line.

TASC suggested a possible area of relief for DCP if they can show they have unused pipeline in Woods County. So the board gave DCP until June 18 to pro-vide that information.

The Woods County Excise Board will have another meeting on June 22 to evaluate what is submitted.

By Marione MartinAlva police worked two

collisions recently. One involved inattention and the other a left turn. On May 25 at 3:15 p.m. there was a minor collision at Lane Street (US-281 North) and Oklahoma Boulevard (U.S. Highway 64).

Jason Anthony Marino, 31, of Wichita Falls, Texas, was driving a 2011 silver Dodge south on Lane indicating a right turn onto Oklahoma Boulevard. Chase Boekhaus, 24, of Rolla, Kansas, was also southbound in a 2015 white Chevrolet. Boekhaus failed to see that the other driver had stopped for the stoplight and struck the Marino vehicle from behind.

Marino’s vehicle had damage to the back bumper and Boekhaus’s vehicle had slight damage to the grill guard. The vehicles had been moved from the location of the collision. Officer Jade Cardenas investigated.

A collision on May 27 at 6:15 p.m. was more damaging. Both

vehicles had to be towed from the scene. The collision occurred on Oklahoma Boulevard at Third Street in Alva.

Bradley Michael Franz, 51, of Alva was driving a 2001 silver Oldsmobile westbound on Oklahoma Boulevard in the outside lane. Brienna J. McClure, 18, of Dacoma was in a 2002 black Jeep that was stopped facing east and preparing to make a left turn to the north into the O’Reilly’s parking lot.

McClure failed to yield and turned in front of the Franz vehicle. Franz’s vehicle struck the right passenger side of the McClure vehicle. Franz’s vehicle was disabled due to the impact and came to rest on the curb of the parking lot facing northwest. McClure’s vehicle turned and drove through the grass coming to rest in the parking lot. McClure’s vehicle was also disabled due to the impact. Officer William Shahan investigated.

By Lynn L. MartinCharla Enns, a career art teacher

in the Enid Public Schools, has a dis-play of acrylic and pastel paintings at the Graceful Arts Gallery in Alva during the month of June.

Enns said she has been interested in art ever since she can remember. Later, in seventh grade, when she took her first formal art class, she said to herself, “Hey, I know what I want to do. This is the direction I want to go.”

After finishing up a fine arts de-gree at Phillips University, she taught for six years at Longfellow Junior High in Enid, before moving over to

Enid High School for the last dozen years. For a while, she had a second round of teaching some of her previ-ous junior high students when they entered high school. At high school, she has taught three AP courses: Ba-sic Art 1, drawing and painting.

She said she enjoys high school teaching a lot because you get to see the students in a ‘more honed’ state.

Enns does not give private les-sons, but will accept commission work. Her husband is a state repre-sentative, John Enns, and both her parents and her mother-in-law live near Enid. The pair recently adopted a 1-year-old little girl, Brynley.

In My Corner

DrinksBy Arden Chaffee

Gone are the days of the simple soft drink. As a child, the farthest I strayed from the

Royal Crown Cola crowd was an occasional bottle of Yoo-hoo. Now, the choices are a multitude of flavored beverages and, of all things, bottled water.

Our daughters are both preaching the efficacy of coconut water. I tried the real

thing from a coconut years ago and I certainly wouldn’t pay extra for something that comes free with the coconut. It’s all about marketing.

Iced teas are really popular with half lemonade and tea, sweet tea, black tea, green tea, tea with ginseng, and flavored versions with peach or raspberry.

There are also the energy drinks. Red Bull was the original but Monster Energy products

are really catching on. They contain vitamins, sugar or a substitute, plus taurine, ginseng and other ingredients aimed at increasing your alertness.

They also make an iced coffee and many companies are betting heavy on canned and bottled java. Sugary iced-coffee concoctions, such as frappuccinos, are popular because they contain coffee as an ingredient!

Mainline soft drinks offer so many combinations that it’s tempting to blend several together for a “suicide.”

It was predicted that water would one day be more expensive than gasoline, and it has come to pass. Bottled water is distilled and then minerals added for flavor.

An exception is our local deVine brand, which is purified and bottled with minerals intact.

Water-water is still the best choice, but even that has become costly.

Random Thoughts

Oklahoma Profile: Pink Williams – Part 2By Roger Hardaway

In 1953, Caddo rancher Pink Williams printed up 100,000 postcards inviting his

fellow Democrats to a party. The cards featured a

kicking donkey and promised that Democrats who had voted for Republican Dwight Eisenhower in 1952 would receive an “ass-kicking” once they arrived at the Williams ranch.

The United States Post Office Department, ignoring the fact that a donkey is also known as an ass, decreed the cards to be obscene and refused to deliver most of them.

Williams appealed the post office’s decision and won. In the meantime, his humorous postcards had become nationally known.

People from all over the United States sent Williams money to purchase some of the cards. Eventually, he sold more than 500,000 of them!

Williams also decided to parlay his newfound notoriety into a political career. After doing some research, he decided to run for lieutenant governor of Oklahoma in 1954.

The incumbent was James E. Berry who

had held the post for 20 years and was running for a sixth four-year term.

Williams was not the only person who thought that Berry had served long enough. A total of 10 men ran for lieutenant governor in the 1954 Democratic primary.

Berry finished first in the balloting, receiving 36 percent of the votes. Williams was a distant second with a little more than 19 percent of the tallies. Since Berry had not received a majority, however, he had to face Williams in a runoff.

During this second round of voting, Williams often told his audiences that it was “Berry-canning time” in the Sooner State.

The voters agreed, choosing Williams to be the Democratic nominee by the margin of 52.23 percent for Williams and 47.77 percent for Berry. With the state firmly in the control of the Democratic Party in that era, Williams easily won the general election.

Pink Williams was sworn in as Oklahoma’s lieutenant governor in January 1955 and served for four years.

But the 1954 election was not the only one he won – as we will see next week in the conclusion of this article.

By Bob Moos/southwest regional public affairs officer for the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

If you’ve ever gone a day without your medications or cut your pills in half to make them last a little longer, there may be relief for you. People on a tight budget can get help paying for the premiums, deductible and co-payments in their Medicare drug plan.

About 10 million people – about one in three people with Medicare drug coverage – now enjoy the break. But another two million may qualify for the help yet don’t even realize it. They’re missing out on hundreds, maybe thousands, of dollars in savings each year.

Recent changes in the law make it easier than ever to qualify for the “extra help” program. Even if you applied and didn’t qualify before, you may be eligible now. The amount of additional assistance you’d receive depends on your income and resources.

If you qualify for full help, you’ll pay no more than $2.95 for a generic drug and $7.40 for a brand-name drug. If you qualify for partial help, you’ll pay no more than 15 percent of the cost of your drugs. The program is estimated to save someone $4,000 a year on average.

So, if you’re having

difficulty affording your prescriptions, it’s worth checking out.

To get the subsidy, your resources can’t be more than $13,640 if you’re single or $27,250 if you’re a married couple living together.

Bank accounts, stocks and bonds count as resources, but homes, cars and personal belongings do not.

Also, your annual income can’t be more than $17,820 if you’re single or $24,030 if you’re a married couple living together.

If you support family members who live with you, however, your income can be higher.

In addition, the government won’t count any money you receive from friends or family for household expenses like food, rent, mortgage payments, utilities and property taxes.

Does that sound like you? Then give yourself a break and apply. Or if you have parents or other loved ones whom you think might benefit, reach out to them. Helping them save money on their prescriptions is one of the best things you could do for them.

There are three ways to sign up for extra help:

• Visit the Social Security website, socialsecurity.gov/extrahelp. The online application offers step-by-step instructions and lets you work at your own pace.

Don’t miss out on these savings on your prescription drugs

Is depression all in your headDear Annie: I suffer from ter-

rible depression. My doctor has me on antidepressants and suggest-ed that I seek therapy. However, I walked out on therapy because I felt that it was not for me and that it didn’t help me at all.

I have no friends, so having anybody to talk to about what I’m going through is difficult. When I attempted to discuss my depression with family, they repeatedly told me it was just in my head and I sim-ply needed to get ahold of myself.

I have turned to a few minor hobbies to help distract me from my depression. However, with the lack of support, it can be really dif-ficult. I do not feel valued by any-one. I have contemplated suicide, thinking that would wake people up enough to realize how I feel. What do I do? -- Blue Water

Dear Blue: Please reconsider therapy. It sounds as if you gave up too quickly. You want someone to talk to? Who will listen when you pour out your worries and fears? Who will be a means of emotional support? This is what a therapist is for.

Sometimes the first therapist isn’t a good fit. It takes a little time to find one you are comfortable with. And “help” doesn’t always appear obvious until you’ve been in therapy for a little while. We are glad you are taking appropriate

medication. Now it’s time to take additional responsibility by follow-ing your doctor’s instructions to seek therapy. Please ask for another referral. We promise it will help. And if you are contemplating sui-cide, you can speak to someone im-mediately at the National Suicide Prevention Hotline (suicidepreven-tionhotline.org) at 1-800-273-8255.

Dear Annie: As an only child, I have the task of caring for my el-derly mother. I am in my late 50s, and Mom is in her 80s. I have three children of my own, one of whom is a young teen, and I am also a grand-mother. I love my family, but there is only one of me and I can’t do it all. I’d like to offer some advice for parents who are lucky enough to have someone living close by who can help with their daily needs:

Please write down what you need. I will invariably walk in the door with several bags of grocer-ies, only to have you tell me that you forgot to mention that you also need eggs or milk.

I have no problem doing your laundry, but please, if I say you need to throw away an old piece of clothing, trust me enough to agree. When I say you need a bath, be-lieve it. All the denial in the world will not change how often you need to shower. Please wear your incon-tinence pads and change them fre-quently.

I am more than willing to do a lot for you, because I love you. But I will not bathe you or give you a pedicure. When you find that you cannot do these things adequate-ly, please hire someone. You can afford it. For those who cannot, Medicare often can provide help for some of these services. It will make me less stressed.

I, too, am getting older and my husband is ill. My body aches and I’m in physiotherapy. Please listen with your heart. -- Your Loving Daughter

Dear Daughter: Your sugges-tions are good, but please consider that Mom may need more help than you realize. It might be time to look into assisted-living options or live-in caregivers.

Can gasoline ‘go bad’ in hybrid engines?

into maintenance mode and run the engine for a short period of time. That removes vapors and conden-sation, and keeps the engine lubri-cated.

If you manage to go a whole year without using the gasoline en-gine, the engine will automatically run until the tank is empty -- or un-til you refill it with fresh gas.

Toyota has a similar system for its plug-in hybrids.

By Ray MagliozziDear Car Talk:If you drive one of the new plug-

in hybrids or a gas/electric hybrid on pure electric for an extended period -- say, six months or so -- is it possible for the gasoline in said hybrid to go “bad”? I’m guessing not, that the move-

ment of the car would keep the fuel mixed and not let it separate (or whatever happens to old fuel). Thanks! -- Ed

Theoretically, the gasoline can go bad. Condensation can build up in the gas tank, and if gasoline sits long enough, it can break down and create varnishes, which can clog fuel injectors.

But manufacturers have antic-ipated the problem. In the Chevy Volt, for instance, if you’ve been driving on nothing but electric power for six weeks, the car will go

The 2016 Petition Drive to get medical marijuana on the November 2016 ballot has started (May 14th). Instead of seeking a state constitutional amendment, Oklahomas for Health is seeking an initiative where instead of needing over 124,000 signatures they need only over 67,000 signatures. Additionally, the group is also seeking a second petition initiative on increasing the number of days from 90 to 120 to gather signatures.

Please go online if you can and research information for yourself, get educated. I will be sitting up along the highway in a couple of spots. This petition effort needs to be completed by Aug. 14th. I will be carrying both petitions, so if

you see me please feel free to ask to sign either or both. I am willing to discuss why I support this effort as I have seen improvements in some children plus have been told by dozens of stories of how medical marijuana is helping fight several forms of cancer, epilepsy, Parkinson’s Disease, PTSD, Crohn’s Disease, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, glaucoma, anxiety, arthritis and many more. So once again I ask that you research for yourself, just don’t believe me or someone else, find out for yourself. You can check okforhealth.org/medical-cannabis.

A subcommittee met with the de-signers after the regular meeting was adjourned and Priefert announced a goal to deliver some initial proposals in a couple of weeks.

Alva Arena Authority members present included Janet Cunningham, Charles Tucker, Todd Holder, Greg Glass, Daren Slater and Mike Hood. Jim Holder was not present.

By Lynn L. MartinThe Alva Arena Authority met

Tuesday, June 7, at noon in the Alva State Bank Annex in the Graceful Arts Building to hear a report from Priefert Complex Designs.

A group of three men from the firm said they had spent a couple of days carefully inspecting the current rodeo grounds, horse barns, live-stock building, merchant’s building, women’s building and poultry build-ing.

Several design possibilities were mentioned because of some of the strengths and weaknesses of the current buildings. For example, the proposed large arena building would occupy part of the space occupied

Alva Arena Authority authorizes designs

By Sean MurphyOKLAHOMA CITY (AP) —

Authorizing an extra $125 million for Capitol renovations is a difficult vote to defend, given the bright yel-low barriers and rusted, ramshack-le scaffolding that greet visitors to Oklahoma's seat of government, a state lawmaker said Thursday to a panel overseeing the project.

Now that lawmakers have autho-rized $245 million in total funding on repairs to the nearly 100-year-old building, Rep. Mark McBride said he expects to see work on the project beginning in earnest.

"We're the ones who made the hard votes ... when people in my district are asking why we're spend-ing this money on the Capitol while funding is being cut for schools," said the Moore Republican who's a member of the State Capitol Expen-diture Oversight Committee. "If we don't start work by July, I'm going to be ticked off."

The Oklahoma Legislature au-thorized the money in two separate bond proposals — one for $120 million in 2014 and a second for $125 million this session, the latter while grappling with a $1.3 billion hole in the budget.

The committee also discussed what to do with some of the dozens of works in the Capitol art collec-tion, which is valued at around $7 million.

Much of the time and money spent so far has gone toward a rig-orous inspection of the building, including trial repairs to determine the appropriate materials to use, ac-cording to Josh Martin, vice presi-dent of JE Dunn Construction, the contractor selected for the exterior renovations. He said work on the exterior will begin in July.

"We couldn't agree with you more. It's time to get going," Martin said. "We're going to take this beau-tiful building and restore it to where

it should be, and soon."So far, $54 million in bonds

have been issued for the first phase of the project, Capitol project man-ager Trait Thompson said, and of that, $11.6 million has been spent, mostly on interior inspection, de-sign and some initial construction on new House and Senate office space.

Eighty-eight separate works of art — mostly housed in the Capitol rotundas — will need to be moved during the first phase of construc-tion, said Alan Atkinson, director of visual arts for the Oklahoma Arts Council. He suggested the com-mittee approve moving and storing those pieces at an off-site location and reinstalling them when the work is completed.

But the panel voted to table a vote on that plan to give Atkinson time to explore other options, in-cluding the possibility of loaning pieces to museums around the state.

NWOSU Sports InformationNorthwestern Oklahoma State

centerfielder Thomas Bess had an outstanding year as a senior in a Ranger uniform where he was named to the Honorable Mention All-GAC team, a First-Team CoSIDA Academ-ic All-District 7 team selection and now he has earned the title of a Third-Team Academic All-American.

Bess was a member of the Rang-ers baseball team for just one year, but made an obvious immediate impact as he wasn’t only a leader and produc-tive on the field, but was a leader in the classroom as well, leading the

way on his team with a stellar 4.0.He is currently working towards

his master’s degree in adult education, management and administration and excelled while here at Northwestern.

Head Coach Sam Carel has now had two Academic All-Americans since taking the helm in Jeff Martin last season in 2015 and now Bess fol-lowing the 2016 season, and frankly couldn’t be more proud.

“What is there left to say about Thomas Bess?” Carel said. “The guy has had a remarkable year in every aspect of a collegiate athletic season. Thomas has personified excellence in

what it means to be a student athlete. This award is a fitting capper to a suc-cessful and hard-earned career!”

The graduate student from Cher-ryville, North Carolina, was greatly beneficial to his team on the field as well, as he led the offensive unit in 10 different categories, including batting average (.339), on-base percentage (.412), runs (28), hits (56), triples (5), total bases (84), hit-by-pitch (8) stolen bases (19) games played and started (48).

Bess also joins two other Great American Conference players to earn the All-American accolades.

NWOSU Sports InformationDuring the 2015 football sea-

son, the Rangers went through many changes – the new Head Coach Matt Walter leading the program, new field turf and the Dean Linder Press Box, as well as becoming full members of NCAA Division II. The 2016 season will be full of familiarity for the most part and the Rangers will be striving for excellence on the gridiron.

The 2016 schedule will comprise 11 Great American Conference foes, three of which were participants in last season’s postseason play. The Rangers will have five home games this season.

It has become somewhat of a tra-dition over the last several years for the season-opening game to be played on a weeknight, and this season is no different. For the sixth straight year, Northwestern will open up the season on a Thursday, this year on Sept. 1 when they will host Arkansas-Monti-

cello. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.The 2016 road opener will take

place on Saturday, Sept. 10, when they will travel to Magnolia, Arkansas, to take on Southern Arkansas. The kick-off is scheduled for 6 p.m.

For Week Three of the season, on Sept. 17 the Rangers will travel for the second straight competition, head-ing to Arkadelphia, Arkansas, to play against 2015 GAC defending regular season champs Henderson State for a 2 p.m. kick. The Reddies finished 10-1 on the season and narrowly escaped a loss from the Rangers in 2015.

Northwestern will host two con-secutive home games on Sept. 24 and Oct. 1, with the first coming against Ouachita Baptist at 7 p.m. for Mili-tary Appreciation Day. The following week is Northwestern’s annual home-coming week and it will be played against East Central at 4 p.m.

The following two weeks will be on the road, with the first being played at Southeastern Oklahoma State in Durant at 2 p.m. on Oct. 8 and the next at Oklahoma Baptist in Shawnee on Oct. 15, with a 2 p.m. start.

The final four games will alternate between road and home contests with the Rangers hosting Southern Naz-arene on Oct. 22 at 4 p.m. at Ranger Field.

Like a season ago, the third-to-last game of the year will be against Ar-kansas Tech, when the Rangers will be traveling to Russellville, Arkansas, for a 2 p.m. kick on Oct. 29.

Northwestern will return home for its final home game on Nov. 5, when they will take on Harding on Senior Day beginning at 2 p.m.

Rounding out the 2016 regu-

lar season, the Rangers will travel to Weatherford to take on arch-rival Southwestern Oklahoma State on Nov. 12 when they will take the field for a 5 p.m. kickoff.

By Cliff Brunt, AP Sports WriterOKLAHOMA CITY – Paige

Parker pitched a complete game to help Oklahoma defeat Auburn 2-1 on Wednesday night for its third national softball title.

Parker put the Tigers down in or-der in the seventh to improve to 5-0 at the Women’s College World Series.

Auburn’s Emily Carosone, the star of Tuesday’s comeback win with a grand slam in the bottom of the eighth, couldn’t follow it up.

In the bottom of the first, she com-mitted an error on a grounder by Shay Knighten, and Caleigh Clifton scored for the Sooners (57-8) when Carosone lost control of a throw to first. Knight-en then scored on a slow-bouncing infield single by Fale Aviu to make it 2-0.

Auburn (58-12) loaded the bases with no outs in the third, but Parker struck out Carosone, then the Sooners turned a double-play to get out of the inning unscathed.

Jade Rhodes’ solo shot in the top of the fourth made it 2-1, but Parker

regained control.Oklahoma won its first two titles

in 2000 and 2013. The Southeastern Conference had won three of the pre-vious four, with Oklahoma interrupt-ing.

Oklahoma coach Patty Gasso was questioned about the decision to rest Parker during Game Two, when Au-burn rallied from an early 7-0 deficit to beat the Sooners 11-7 in eight innings. Parker was the winner in Game One, a 3-2 decision, and Gasso felt it would have been unfair to Parker to start her on Tuesday.

Parker came back refreshed. She threw 107 pitches, struck out five and walked one.

Carosone went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and two errors.

Auburn, which was seeking its first national title, snapped Oklahoma’s 31-game win streak on Tuesday to force Game 3. The Sooners hadn’t lost since April 2.

The Sooners went through Ala-bama, Michigan, LSU and Auburn to win the title.

*Home games in bold.


CLEVELAND (AP) – Crawl-ing on the floor after a loose ball, Lebron James gathered himself and quickly got to his feet.

He stood tall, and so did the Cavaliers.

James had 32 points and 11 rebounds, Kyrie Irving added 30 points and Cleveland, pushed for 48 minutes by a delirious, cham-pionship-starved crowd, ham-mered the Golden State Warriors 120-90 in Game 3 on Wednesday night to pull within 2-1 in the NBA Finals.

On their home floor, where they have been dominant all post-season, the Cavs yanked their season from the brink of disaster following back-to-back blowout losses in the Bay Area.

“Coaching staff gave us a great game plan and we execut-ed it,” said James, whose energy from the start electrified 20,000 fans, and most importantly his teammates.

They Cavs did it without starting forward Kevin Love, with little help from their bench and by keeping Stephen Curry penned in.

The league’s MVP was most-ly MIA, scoring 19 points – two in the first half – on 6-of-13 shooting. Harrison Barnes scored 18 and Klay Thompson 10 for the Warriors, who had won sev-en straight over Cleveland – the first two finals games by a com-bined 48 points – and came back to the birthplace of rock and roll

looking to party like they did af-ter winning the title in Quicken Loans Arena last year.

The Cavs, though, have made this a series after it appeared the Warriors were on the fast track to another crown.

James had called it “do or die” for Cleveland.

Well, done and living.“We’ve got to give the same

effort on Friday,” James said. “It started defensively and it trickled down to the offensive side.”

The Warriors didn’t look any-thing like the team that won a re-cord 73 games during the regular season or the one that overcame a 3-1 deficit in the Western Con-ference finals.

“We were soft,” said coach Steve Kerr. “When you’re soft, you get beat on the glass and turn the ball over.”

Curry didn’t offer any excus-es.

“I’ve got to play 100 times better than this,” he said, dis-missing any notion he’s slowed by injuries. “I’m fine. Not the way we wanted the night to go.”

Irving bounced back from two rough games out West, J.R. Smith made five 3-pointers and Tristan Thompson did the dirty work inside, getting 13 rebounds for the Cavs, who improved to 8-0 at home and can even the series with a win in Game 4 on Friday night.

The Cavs hardly missed Love, still suffering from a concussion

sustained in Game 2. He wanted to play, but is still in the NBA’s concussion protocol and has not yet been cleared to return by league and team doctors.

Coach Tyronn Lue started veteran Richard Jefferson and moved James into Love’s power forward spot, giving the Cavs a smaller lineup better equipped to run with the Warriors.

The 35-year-old Jefferson gave the Cavs a huge boost in 33 minutes, scoring nine points with eight rebounds.

Leading by eight at halftime, Cleveland took control in the third quarter when James and Irving combined on a play that symbolized the Cavs’ resurrec-tion.

Scrambling on his hands and knees after a loose ball near mid-court, James got to his feet and whipped a pass to Irving on the left side. Irving returned a lob to James, who leaped high and flushed it with his right hand, a basket that seemed to erase all that went wrong for the Cavs in California.

Before taking the floor, James and the Cavs huddled in the hall-way outside their locker room and prayed.

James then gave his team-mates some instructions.

“Follow my lead from the be-ginning!” he screamed. “And do your job!”

The Cavs listened, scoring the game’s first nine points and open-

ing a 20-point lead in the first quarter, rattling the Warriors.

Picked OffKlay Thompson left briefly in

the first quarter with a thigh bruise after he crashed into Cleveland’s Timofey Mozgov trying to set a screen.

“It seemed kind of dirty to me,” Thompson said. “He stuck his knee out, too.”

Sit Down Curry was beaten on two back

cuts early in the game and was benched by Kerr.

“I would have done the same thing,” Curry said. “He’s trying to figure out a way to get me go-ing.”

Say What?Kerr was startled when the

opening question in his postgame news conference was whether he’s considering changes.

“We just lost one game,” Kerr said. “Change the starting line-up?”

Tip-InsWarriors: Shot just 9-of-33

on 3-pointers. Kerr became emo-tional before the game when pay-ing his respects to Sean Rooks, his former Arizona teammate who died Tuesday at the age of 46. Green has become Public Enemy No. 1 in Cleveland – and elsewhere. He smiled while be-ing booed during pregame war-mups.

Cavaliers: James has 82 ca-reer 30-point games in the play-offs, third most all-time. Only Michael Jordan (109) and Kobe Bryant (88) have more. Smith nailed a shot from halfcourt at the end of the second quarter, but the shot came after the horn and was waved off. Lue said he doesn’t pay any attention to all the out-side second-guessing about his lineups.

“I don’t care,” he said. “They (critics) should be coaches.”

Legendary Browns running back, Jim Brown sat courtside and gave the crowd a thumbs-up when he was shown on the giant scoreboard.

Oklahoma law to allow breweries to sell full-strength beer

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A new Oklahoma law that will go into effect this summer will allow craft breweries to sell full-strength beer.

The Oklahoman (http://bit.ly/1TYp7g1 ) reports that Gov. Mary Fallin approved the law this week, allowing craft breweries to sell glasses of full-strength beer to visitors, as well as cans, bottles and growlers for customers to take home. The law will go into effect Aug. 25.

State law thus far has limited craft brewers to selling 3.2 beer and providing up to 12-ounce samples of full-strength beer on premises. To sell full-strength beer, Oklahoma brewers have had to go through a wholesaler that distributes the prod-uct to liquor stores.

Republican state Sen. Brian Crain of Tulsa says he decided to sponsor the bill because he believes Oklahoma's alcohol laws were out-dated.

By W. Jay Tyree, College Hill Church of Christ

As part of kick-off Sunday for the Alva School of Music – host-ed by the College Hill Church of Christ – I was allowed to lead the song service and hear someone else preach. I often go several months at a time without sitting in the pew at our home congre-gation, being fed by another ser-vant. Chris Johnson is the lead teacher for our boys program and did a wonderful job of sharing the text of Acts 16, in which Paul and Silas are thrown in prison after casting a demon out of a young girl. Of course, the fact that I was

being fed by someone else didn’t stop me from making some notes of my own for the weekly article.

The city of Philippi was ex-tremely patriotic; Roman to the core. Being Jewish in Philip-pi put you in the vast minority, and it often put you in danger of being subjected to ridicule and mistreatment. The result was that few Jews decided to settle in Philippi.

When Paul and Silas (along with Timothy and Luke) ar-rived, they sought out the “place of prayer” where they met an

open-hearted woman named Lydia who became their first convert in the region. The reason they didn’t go straight to the syn-agogue was that probably there wasn’t one. It took ten faithful, adult Jewish men to establish a synagogue – probably more Jew-ish men than could be found in Philippi.

When Paul and Silas were ar-rested, the charges against them included being Jewish and teach-ing things unlawful for Romans to follow. The irony of it all is that both Paul and Silas were Roman citizens. Paul was born in Tarsus, a “free” city under Ro-man rule, which meant he was a

citizen from the time of his birth.Which brings us back to

Chris’ point. Paul and Silas had such a great attitude that, even though they were arrested with-out cause and beaten illegally, they were able to sing praises while in prison. Their attitude, coupled with some earth-shaking assistance from the Lord, result-ed in a teaching opportunity that changed the life of a Roman sol-dier. God is Good!

Singing School will conclude this evening with a special pro-gram of song. It would be well worth your time to attend. It’s at 7 p.m. at the College Hill Church of Christ – 1102 College Ave.

Kelli Woods (left) and Pastor Ron Pingelton (right); both of First Christian Church; present Alva Mid-dle School counselor Stephanie Marteney (middle) with a check for the school's Bug Bites backpack program. The money was raised by kids attending First Christian's vacation Bible school (VBS). The kids; who wanted to help hungry children in the community; brought in change each of the four days of VBS. When the change was counted on the last day; the kids proved to have raised a whopping $814.32; amazing Pingelton and the others at First Christian; and making them very proud.
