Dr. Robert Rader speaks to a joint meeting of Kiwanis and Rotary clubs in the commons area at Share Medical Center. In the background is Regina Wilson, RN, and at bottom is a portion of the crowd. While and Kiwanis and Rotary members made up the bulk of the crowd, a half-dozen representatives of the Woods County extension clubs were in attendance, along with some invited guests. Rader explained how they now have a team of 17 physicians who can provide telemedicine service throughout rural Oklaho-ma. He said there are three typs of medical care generally practiced: surgery, medicine and psychiatry. He said “For the portion of the population needing medicinal help, telemedicine is excellent in providing support. More and more, it is saving time devoted to travel for both physicians and patients.” A video of his remarks will be available on the newspaper web site. Photos by Lynn L. Martin

By Lynn L. MartinEnough members of the rec park

board gathered to make a quorum. Those members present includ-ed Rachel Spellman, Greg Glass, Shane Hansen, Dr. Troy Smith, Chad Fisher. Absent members were Kindsey Ely and Matt Stratton.

The manager, Courtney Nesser-alla, said the softball tournaments were successful drawing a lot of people to town. The first tournament had 16 teams and the second tour-nament 14 teams. She said the gate receipts were down a bit, but not a lot. She also mentioned receiving compliments on the new concrete work around the backstops.

Joe Don Dunham told the board that the city council has passed their budget as requested with only a slight change because of insurance expense reduction.

The month’s revenues for May 2016 were $50,527.70. The 11-month revenue was $815,828. The budget balance for the final month is $230,607.42. The rec park has $404,802.59 in investments.

The remaining discussion cen-tered about completing shade and protective nets around the back-stops. The city manager mentioned he might have some cost estimates on those projects by the next meet-ing.

Alva Recreational Authority holds short June meeting

is located adjacent to the railroad tracks. It will require some cleanup before it is ready to use.

Williams is working on next year’s budget which begins August 1. The WCEDC operates on a “zero” budget. Williams said when money is needed, she goes out and finds it. They rely mainly on donations from economic develop focused businesses and organizations. At times the WCEDC office has hired a part-time person to assist Williams, but they are currently unable to pay for that help so Williams must handle everything herself.

The WCEDC had an agreement with the Alva Airport Commission for leasing some land, but new construction at the airport will infringe a little on area. So they’ve worked out a new plot location. McMurphy described the area as “infested with utilities” meaning it’s crossed by several utility easements but apparently that won’t hinder their plans.

The WCEDC has changed their bylaws to allow members to serve three consecutive terms before they must be replaced. This allows the committee to keep experienced members longer. Williams said the Woods County Industrial Authority which met earlier in the day approved the same change.

The next meeting of the Northwest Oklahoma Alliance will be Tuesday, June 28, at 11:30 a.m. at the Woodward Conference Center. The speaker will be Ben Kimbrough of the Ross Group who will speak on the unmanned systems industry.

Small Business PlansWilliams said she and Poe

considered as part of the business department staff at the tech center. Northwest Tech also provides the office space at no charge.

Williams reported that NWTC is also helping to revamp the committee’s website. Instructor Tammi Frascht has taken the lead and is making it a project of one of her classes. Frascht has also initiated Woods County Wired, a Facebook page about Woods County, as well as starting a LinkedIn account. Williams’ said the new website will be a collaboration of county chambers of commerce and will focus on tourism not business.

HousingUnder housing, Williams

said she has talked with Alva and Waynoka about incentives for new developers. Both have indicated a willingness to offer incentives. On June 9, the WCEDC cooperated with Freedom West and the Oklahoma Coalition for Affordable Housing to present a housing forum at NWTC. Williams said the FDIC talked to local banks about procedures to promote housing.

Regarding business, Williams said most of her work has been focused on helping those displaced from jobs with the downturn in oil and gas. WCEDC hosted a job fair in March.

BusinessThe City of Waynoka applied to

the Northwest Oklahoma Alliance (NwOA) for help in expanding the Waynoka Industrial Park. They had an opportunity to buy a strip of land adjacent to the current park. NwOA approved the grant of $30,000, and Waynoka will match that to buy the land. Olson, who is from Waynoka, said described it as a “very attractive property.” It

new opportunity for economic development. At the Woods County Economic Development Committee (WCEDC) meeting Tuesday, Director Sonja Williams read a letter from Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad. They are developing a site certification program “aimed at identifying optimal rail service sites for customer development” along BNSF railways.

BNSF said a small number of sites have been invited to participate “in this exciting economic development program.” BNSF said the Avard park had been selected as a candidate based on “its multiple advantages.” Williams said she will be filling out the paperwork to apply for the site certification program. She believes some meetings held with attendees at the Lt. Governor’s Turkey Hunt held in Woods County earlier influenced being included.

The quarterly meeting of the WCEDC was held at Northwest Technology in Alva where the committee office is located. The meeting started a little late because they were waiting for a quorum of members. Randy McMurphy chaired the meeting in the absence of Daren Slater. Doyle Wardop was also unable to attend. Other members present were Dr. Steve Lohmann, Alan Poe, Sandie Olson and Kyle Murrow.

ObituaryDOROTHY JEAN

BLANKENSHIP BROWN McMANAMAN

Dorothy Jean Blankenship was born April 13, 1927, near Belle

Plaine, Kansas. She was the last of Willie Maud Hammond and Edward Blankenship’s 13 children. She lost both parents by age ten and was raised by her brother

and his wife, Earl and Pamelia Blankenship. She graduated as valedictorian from Belle Plaine Rural High School, class of 1945. Dorothy soon met and married Robert Brown on June 7, 1945.

Once Robert’s service was competed with the Merchant Marines, the couple returned to Beaver, Oklahoma, where Robert began his career in construction. They had three children, Reta, Adair and Dennis, before moving to Alva in 1953. Shortly thereafter the Robert R. Brown Lumber & Construction Company was established with Dorothy as co-owner and full working partner. Her intelligence, capable management and hard work helped the company prosper over the next 24 years. She was equally dedicated to her family – she was an excellent cook, maintained a succession of 12

beautifully decorated homes, and loved her flowers. Dorothy was a member of the First Methodist Church of Alva and P.E.O. She earned her private pilot’s license in 1970.

After Dorothy and Robert divorced in 1977, she managed a large apartment complex in Oklahoma City. In 1981, Dorothy married Edward McManaman; they resided primarily in Oklahoma City area until Ed’s death in 2004. Dorothy relocated to the Denver, Colorado, area to be near her son Adair and his family. She passed away on June 6, 2016, at the age of 89. Her ashes will be interred in Alva Cemetery at a later date.

Dorothy is survived by her three children: Reta Brown (Oklahoma City), Adair and Susan Brown (Denver, Colorado and Palm Desert, California), Dennis and Judy Brown (Fountain Hills, Arizona), her eight grandchildren: Roger and Janice Brown (Denver, Colorado), Romily (Cutter) and Mark Estell (Oklahoma City), Jeremy Brown (Mesa, Arizona), Erin (Cutter) and Scott MacDonald (Woodlands, Texas), Randy Brown (Denver, Colorado), Julie (Brown) and Mike Haslar (Denver, Colorado) Sara (Brown) Schnipkoweit (Davenport, Iowa), and Preston and Sara Brown (Mesa, Arizona). She also leaves behind 13 great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

By Marione MartinThe Alva Airport Commission

spent quite a bit of time discussing weekend staffing at their Monday meeting. They also talked about a volunteer program as a way to cover times when employees are not able to work.

All members of the airport commission were present including Chairman Kory Washburn, Terry Turner, Paul Kinzie, Dale Logsdon and Wes Miller.

Miller, who is a member of the city council and chairs Alva’s finance committee, said there was no action involving the airport at the last meeting. However committees have been discussing ways the city departments can work together to lower costs. “The more collaboration we can get between departments, the better,” he said.

Manager’s Report“Fuel sales are down a little

bit,” said Airport Manager Greg Murray. He attributed that to the weather, which had not been ideal for flying. He said sales were still “pretty good.” The airport sold $13,521.07 in fuel and other items during May compared to $16,617.45 in April. Of the May total, $8,257.07 was from 100LL fuel and $4,948.46 from Jet A.

Nash Construction was at the airport recently to correct the drainage issue on taxiway construction. Logsdon said they have reduced the amount of water standing after a rain, but there is still water pooling. Dunham said the city has not signed off on the contract work and will not do so until they are satisfied.

Murray told the committee the new weekend airport attendant, David Verhaert, started on June 9 and is catching on very quickly. “I think he has done an excellent job so far,” said Murray. He said the previous attendant needed more hours during the summer so went home to work for family.

Work began Monday on construction of Terry Cline’s hangar at the airport. Cline leased land from the commission and is having his own hangar built.

Lease ApprovedThe commission approved an

agricultural lease with HE Land & Cattle Co. LLC for $62 per acre. Two bids were received, but Kelly Thiesing who held the previous lease bid less at $60.50 per acre.

Logsdon asked if any incentives were added to the bids as in years past such as mowing and weed spraying. Dunham said that was not included in either bid.

Payments on the three-year lease are due on July 1 of each year.

South Share RepairsBid specifications on the South

Share hangar repair project have been prepared and are ready to be advertised with commission approval. Since the airport commission is not sure what will be needed for the repairs, the bids are generic. Dunham said bidders will be expected to visit the airport where they can look at the problems and propose a solution. Logsdon volunteered to show any bidders the hangar and describe the problems.

Kinzie said he was concerned bidders might not have the same information if they talked to different people at different times. They decided to designate Logsdon as the one person to work with the bidders, and he vowed to give each the same description.

Washburn said the drainage problem should be solved before the commission has roof work done. Miller said he didn’t think they should solve half the problem. Dunham suggested doing an either/or bid document where bidders could bid on both or just one part. Miller liked that idea saying if the bids came in low enough that the airport could afford to do both, they would have that option.

Logsdon made a motion, seconded by Kinzie, that the bid be advertised to repair the door leakage and repair the water drainage problem with quotes on either or both. The motion passed unanimously.

Weekend StaffingA lengthy discussion ensued

on weekend staffing. Dunham said at times the airport has hired two weekend staffers to alternate so no one was required to work every weekend. Before he advertises for a position, he asked their wishes about a second part-timer or perhaps one full time person.

Logsdon suggested the full-time airport manager might need to switch off weekends sometimes with the part-time employee.

Dunham asked if there was enough work to hire a second full-time person to cover weekends and some weekdays. Murray said with over 130 acres of grass there is enough mowing during the summer to keep two people busy, but he doubted there would be enough work in winter months.

Dunham said the city has some employees who might work in two

departments like the recreation complex and the swimming pool. If the airport employee was willing to work in any department, it might be possible to find work in the winter. But it could mean riding on the back of a sanitation truck. There was also discussion about the difficulty in finding reliable part-time employees willing to work Saturdays and Sundays.

Using BJCC work crews was another option discussed. Dunham said the city is contracted to use 25 offenders per day but they rarely get that many. The inmates seem to get pulled off the work crew assignments regularly for infractions. Dunham said they usually have less than half that amount.

Turner suggested high school boys might be able to help, but Dunham read wage and regulations which showed those under 18 could not be employed to use most powered equipment such as mowers. Turner said they are able to work on farms, but Dunham said agriculture has an exemption to the rule.

Eventually, the board members decided to leave staffing as it is with the full-time manager and a part-time weekend employee.

Volunteer ProgramThe board discussed

developing a volunteer program for the airport. Several local pilots have said they would be willing to fill in when someone is ill or needs to take off. Dunham said he checked into the city’s coverage. Volunteers would be covered under the city’s liability policy but not under workman’s comp.

Those willing to volunteer will need training on such things as fuel truck operation and running the credit card machines or other paperwork. Commission members told Murray to train volunteers until he is satisfied. Then a list can be developed for use as needed.

Kinzie made the motion to develop a volunteer program, seconded by Turner, and it passed unanimously.

CommentsIn the open comments period,

Turner mentioned talking with a visiting pilot recently who was very complimentary of the appearance of the airport and how nice the facility was kept.

Mayor Parker said he appreciated how the board takes action to live within their means in this time of budget downsizing.

Airport staffing toremain the sameVolunteer program starting to fill scheduling gaps

By Lynn L. MartinCommissioner John Smiley was

absent from Monday’s meeting, but he asked his fellow commission-ers to approve a check for $86,290 from the Woods County Treasurer to “Iron Planet” for a grader pur-chased during an online auction for District 3. The transfer was ap-proved, with Commissioner Randy McMurphy commenting, “Guess we’re going to have to get used to these new ways.”

In another purchase, three bids were opened for a 2014 John Deere 672G grader with a trade-in of a 2011 John Deere 672G at a cost of $25,000 from Yellowhouse. Two other firms declined to bid: GW Van Keppel and Kirby-Smith.

Terri Salisbury from the Of-fice of Juvenile Affairs asked if the commissioners would be okay in subleasing a portion of the health department building to the Office of Juvenile Affairs. One employee would be working there: Melissa

Jones. The owner of the building, John Ryerson, has a no sublease clause in the original contract and he is willing to write an exception. Contract renewal is up at the end of this fiscal year. Salisbury said this approach will save the state some money.

The commissioners approved the Juvenile Detention Transporta-tion agreement for another year. The county has no facilities for housing juvenile offenders and they must be transported to other locations.

The annual voting ballot bids were opened. The commissioners acknowledged receiving them but directed them to the election board for their recommendation.

Bids had been solicited for a 1999 Dodge Pickup from District 1. No offers were submitted.

In other routine actions, minutes were approved and six month bids were opened. They will be analyzed and reviewed at the June 27 meet-ing.

Black boxesBy Arden Chaffee

There is an old question that still comes up in conversations about airplane crashes. “Why

don’t they make the whole plane like the black box? It always seems to survive.”

The truth is, the black box doesn’t always survive and in the case of EgyptAir Flight 804, it was never found, though it was thought to be

“pinging” weeks after impact. The truth is, the black box is obsolete. An

innovation introduced in the ‘60’s, they have been invaluable in crash investigation and recovery.

Today, streaming real-time data has even made it into the mainstream with Snapshot from Progressive, a streaming device that reports automobile behavior and adjusts insurance

rates in favor of safe drivers. Experts believe that changes to the black box

are overdue but airlines resist due to cost and there are also legal ramifications. Streaming in real time is an invasion of privacy and with the crossing of oceans and borders aviation officials worldwide would have to be updated on laws governing each country covered.

Fact: black box batteries last only 30 days and though the European Aviation Safety Agency has new 90-day battery-life regulations, they won’t go into effect until 2019. There have been some recent improvements including designs meant to eject automatically in a crash, float on the ocean surface and transmit data at lower frequencies, allowing the radiation to travel farther.

At the end of the day, with GPS technology available on your wrist, isn’t it time to bring aviation into the 21st century?

Random Thoughts

Oklahoma Profile: Pink Williams – Part 3By Roger Hardaway

On Jan. 10, 1955, Cowboy Pink Williams became Oklahoma’s lieutenant governor.

When he entered the capitol in Oklahoma City to preside over the state senate, it was only the second time he had ever been in the building.

Moreover, he wore red and white cowboy boots and a Stetson hat to that first legislative session of his

tenure.Williams highlighted his frugality once he

was in office. When the legislature appropriated $6,000 for him to buy a car to drive to work, he bought an inexpensive one and returned half of the money to the state treasury.

In 1958, Williams ran for a second term and lost under basically the same set of circumstances that had allowed him to win in 1954.

First, Williams drew 10 opponents in the Democratic primary. Second, he led the initial primary handily, winning almost 41 percent of the votes.

But, lacking a majority, Williams was

forced into a runoff with the second-place finisher, State Representative George Nigh, who had garnered less than 19 percent of the ballots. But in the runoff, Nigh won easily and Williams was tossed out of office.

Williams made a comeback, however, in 1962 when he won a four-year term as Oklahoma state treasurer.

In that race, Williams led the field in the first primary and then won a runoff against Glen R. Key by the razor-thin margin of 50.37 percent to 49.63 percent.

Williams then won the general election and served as treasurer from 1963 to 1967. In 1966 he ran for re-election but lost. At 74 years of age, he opted never to run for office again.

So, Pink Williams’s political career consisted of four years as lieutenant governor and four years as state treasurer.

All in all, his was a very successful stint as a governmental official – especially considering that he didn’t plan to be a politician in the first place.

Cowboy Pink Williams died on April 1, 1976, a few days shy of his 84th birthday. He was certainly a “character” who deserves to be remembered in Oklahoma history.

See Guns Page 5

By Erica WernerWASHINGTON (AP) —

The slaughter in Florida and an attention-grabbing filibuster in the Senate did little to break the election-year stalemate in Congress over guns Thursday, with both sides unwilling to budge and Republicans stand-ing firm against any new legis-lation opposed by the National Rifle Association.

Democrats renewed their call to action after Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., held the floor along with colleagues in a nearly 15-hour filibuster that lasted into the early hours Thursday.

"We can't just wait, we have to make something hap-pen," said Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., at an emotional news conference where Democrats joined family members of peo-ple killed in recent mass shoot-ings. "These are people bound by brutality, and their numbers are growing."

But Republicans were cool-ly dismissive of Democrats' demands. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., de-rided Murphy's filibuster as a "campaign talk-a-thon" that did nothing but delay potential votes.

Noting that a few Demo-crats had skipped a classified briefing on the Florida night-club shooting to participate in the filibuster, McConnell chid-ed: "It's hard to think of a clear-er contrast for serious work for solutions on the one hand, and endless partisan campaigning on the other."

Democrats spoke of the

need for new gun legislation. Republicans cited the threat posed by the Islamic State group, to which Orlando gun-man Omar Mateen swore alle-giance while killing 49 people in a gay nightclub early Sun-day. But the two sides mostly talked past each other, and ef-forts to forge consensus quick-ly sputtered out. As a result, the Senate faced the prospect of taking dueling votes begin-ning Monday on Democratic and GOP bills, all of which looked destined to fail.

The back-and-forth came as President Barack Obama visit-ed the victims' families in Or-lando, and called on lawmak-ers to act.

"Those who defend the easy accessibility of assault weap-ons should meet these families and explain why that makes sense," Obama said.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton joined Senate Democrats' call for action. Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump weighed in with a tweet suggesting he would meet with the NRA and support efforts to keep guns out of the hands of terrorists. Exactly what he would support was unclear.

It's the same exercise the Senate has engaged in time and again after mass shootings. Even after the Newtown, Con-necticut, shootings of school-children, the Senate could not pass a bipartisan background checks bill. Moderate Repub-lican Sen. Susan Collins of

Annie’s Mailbox®

The best way to deal with a bullyDear Annie: What is the best

way to deal with someone who is a bully and verbally abusive? My brother-in-law is very demeaning to my sister. He makes cruel re-marks about her physical appear-ance, calls her names and criticiz-es everything she does if it isn’t exactly what he likes.

My sister has been married to this bully for 30 years. I really don’t know how she has put up with him for so long. I try not to spend a lot of time around my brother-in-law, but when I’m with the two of them, I want to defend my sister. I’m just not sure how to go about it.

Is it best to ignore a bully’s comments or is there a way to put him in his place? -- A Bully’s Sis-ter-in-Law

Dear Sister-in-Law: Please talk to your sister. This is not a bully on the playground, who should be held accountable. This is your sister’s husband and while you want to protect her, you also must respect her wishes.

How does this abusive behav-ior affect her? She could be afraid or she may be ignoring him. After 30 years, she may not be bothered by it. Does she want your help? Would she prefer that you not in-tervene?

Encourage your sister to speak up for herself or ask whether you

can counteract her husband’s negative remarks with more pos-itive ones. You can suggest she speak to someone at the National Domestic Abuse Hotline (theho-tline.org). But ultimately, this is her marriage and she gets to de-cide how to handle it. You cannot force her to want something bet-ter. You can only be a source of love and support.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Missing Her,” the woman who was looking for a way to lessen her guilt over firing “Ma-ria,” the nanny who had worked for her family for 20 years. Ma-ria’s services are no longer re-quired, now that her youngest child is old enough to drive her-self around.

Certainly, this employer has paid into Maria’s Social Secu-rity taxes over the years, hasn’t she? And also contributed to their state’s unemployment insurance program for her employee?

If “Missing Her” can’t “justi-fy the cost” of keeping the wom-an who dedicated so much of her life tending Missing’s children, she should at least help Maria apply for programs to which she is entitled. This will benefit her ex-employee far more than a farewell gift. -- M.

Dear M.: You are not the only one to bring this up. Several read-

ers asked whether “Missing Her” had been paying federal and state taxes as Maria’s employer. We suspect not. A great many peo-ple who hire nannies (and house-keepers, etc.), pay them in cash, especially if they are not U.S. cit-izens. It also is not uncommon for these same employees to prefer cash payments because they, too, do not want to pay taxes.

But avoiding taxes on these employees is not only against the law, it does them a grave disser-vice when they are no longer in your employ and have no ben-efits. It’s too late to do this ret-roactively for Maria, but it’s not too late for others who are hiring good people to help them in their homes and who will become part of their families.

Car Talk

It’s not practical or safe to drive like a racecar driver on the highway

cause an accident.Since each lane contains ve-

hicles, changing lanes inherently increases the risk of hitting one of those other vehicles -- or having it hit you.

And if you change lanes fre-quently and unpredictably (or if it appears to be unpredictable to other drivers), you make the risk much higher.

So you might save 17 cents’ worth of fuel but pay a $1,000 de-ductible to your insurance company and miss six months of work recov-ering from a broken butt bone.

So, theoretically, is this a good idea? Yes. Practically? No. Not at all.

By Ray MagliozziDear Car Talk: Is it worth cutting into the

curves when driving on multi-lane highways? For example, when on the interstate system, can I save fuel by switching lanes to reduce the distance trav-eled? -- Marcel

Sure. We all know that the fastest route from point A to point B is a straight line. And that’s what racecar drivers do: If there’s a right-hand curve on the racetrack, they’ll go from the far left side of the track, cut the right-hand corner at the apex of the curve, and then drift back out to the far left. That’s the straightest possi-ble line through the curve.

You can do that on the high-way, too, Marcel. But why stop there? You can make your line even straighter by cutting through near-by neighborhoods. You can go right across the lawns and through the back yards. Just watch out for those in-ground pools.

Theoretically, you certainly can reduce your distance by a small amount and save a small amount of fuel. But the risk is that you’ll

have been working with several people requesting small business plans. Northwestern Oklahoma State University used to have a small business development program, funded by a grant, which handled these but it is no longer in operation. Apparently there is still a demand for the service. Williams said Jeannie Cole is being brought

out of retirement to help. Poe said they are “trying to figure out how to meet that need sustainably.”

They have been working with NWTC and are now charging a small fee for the service. Poe said, “We want to help but how much can we do without a full-timer?” Williams added, “I they walk through our doors, we try to help.”

Dunes Film CrewOlson said a film crew has

been in Waynoka filming at Little Sahara State Park. She didn’t know much about it, but apparently they are using the location to depict an Egyptian setting. Poe, who is from Waynoka, said the film crew is having some economic impact in the community.

From Page 4 GunsMaine criticized the state of affairs as "Groundhog Day."

After the shooting in San Ber-nardino, California, last year, the effort was downgraded to trying to pass a bill by Sen. Dianne Fein-stein, D-Calif., to keep people on a government terrorism watch list or other suspected terrorists from buy-ing guns, but that too failed.

This time, Feinstein is seeking a revote on her bill. Republicans will offer an alternative by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, that would al-low the government to delay a gun sale to a suspected terrorist for 72 hours, but require prosecutors to go to court to show probable cause to block the sale permanently.

Votes were also expected on du-

eling background check bills. All were expected to fail.

Collins said she was working with other Republicans, as well as talking to Democrats, on a bill that would prevent people on the no-fly list — a smaller universe than tar-geted by Democrats — from get-ting guns. But her bill had not been blessed by GOP leaders and it was unclear if it would get a vote.

Polls show large numbers of Americans agree with the need for at least some limited gun measures such as background checks. But Democrats have been unable to turn the tide of public opinion to their purpose because the NRA is able to mobilize and energize vot-ers who will threaten to vote law-

makers out on the gun issue alone.This past week, the NRA made

robo-calls in Pennsylvania urging people to contact their senators and "express their strong opposition to any new gun control laws."

In the GOP-controlled House, Republicans had no plans to act on guns and Democrats were unable to force any action, given House rules less favorable to the minority party than in the Senate. Instead the House passed a bundle of previous-ly approved counterterrorism bills and sent them to the Senate again.

"The question is, is going after the Second Amendment how you stop terrorism? No. That's not how you stop terrorism," said House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma’s governor is criticizing the state’s Tobacco Settlement En-dowment Trust governing board for hiring a new chief executive officer at $250,000 a year.

Gov. Mary Fallin on Thursday said she has instructed Health and Human Services Secretary Terry

Cline to reject the salary.Fallin’s office claims the hire

violates the spirit of an executive order she issued last year requir-ing approval from a top statewide elected official or cabinet secretary before making new hires or offer-ing raises or bonuses.

The trust’s governing board

had announced Tuesday the hiring of former Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner and two-term Ed-mond Mayor Patrice Douglas to the post.

Fallin’s office says the most re-cent state study on the matter rec-ommended a maximum salary of $143,714 for that position.

NWOSU Sports InformationBoth men’s and women’s rodeo

teams are picking up where they left off during the regular rodeo season and are in the middle of contention at the College Nation-al Finals Rodeo following several quality individual performances.

Bareback riding is the one competition at the CNFR that has gone two rounds already and the Rangers representative, Austin Graham, recorded scores of 68.0 in round one and 63.5 in the sec-ond, placing him in 11th for the time being. Round three begins today and will be where the short

round qualifiers will be decided.Bryson Sechrist was stellar

in his first go around in tie-down roping as he recorded an 8.4 time and is in first place. His time was 0.6 seconds ahead of the sec-ond place participant, leading to Sechrist’s 80 point performance.

Two other Rangers men had successful first runs as well, this time in steer wrestling. Senior Ja-cob Edler took down his steer in a matter of just 4.7 seconds, put-ting him third so far in the event, while teammate J.D. Struxness is in ninth overall, following a run of 5.7.

Not only did the men do well through the first rounds, but the Northwestern women were fairly dominant in goat tying as well. 2015-16 Northwestern Female Athlete of the Year Shayna Miller was excellent in the first go as she was able to record a time of 6.2, giving her the lead in the event. Laremi Allred also continued her success as she was just 0.4 sec-onds behind Miller and is sitting in 10th after a solid first go. Only 0.1 second separates Allred and Tearnee Nelson as well, putting her in the mix as well moving for-ward.

Carter led Northwestern’s ef-fort to gain active membership in Division II.

“Five years ago, when he came to Northwestern, I

charged Andy with leading the school through the Division II membership process,” Cunning-ham said. “He accomplished that mission and has helped po-sition us to be successful in the Great American Conference and Division II. I thank him for his work and dedication and wish him and his family the best at Minot State.”

Are you familiar with the term “proof-texting?” I know it sounds like it might have something to do with a cell-phone, but no – this is something different. Proof-texting is the habit of deciding what we believe and then going to the scrip-tures to find passages that “prove” our point.

For example, some believe the Lord requires the communion to be taken “above the ground floor.” They turn to three passag-es to prove their point. (1) Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper in an upper room (Mark 14:15); (2) the disciples were gathered in an upper

Proof-textingroom on the day of Pentecost (Acts 1:13), and (3) the church at Troas was gathered in an upper room when Paul preached past midnight and Eutychus fell out of the win-dow (Acts 20:8). They overlook the fact that these passages all speak of larger groups that needed larger rooms. In that culture, these were most often found “upstairs.”

As I began preparing my ser-mon for Sunday, I realized that I, too, have used proof-texting to make a point. The last half of Acts, chapter 20, revolves around a con-versation Paul had with the leader-ship of the church at Ephesus. He

Today is Father’s Day: A day that we set aside to honor our fa-thers for who they are and their great love for God, their wives and their children.

The Bible pens some powerful words in Isaiah 32:8: “the noble man makes noble plans, and by no-ble deeds he stands.” Every father wants to make noble, heroic and epic plans. He wants to be a shining light for his children.

What does it take to be a no-ble father? This verse answers that question.

1. It takes a noble man. It takes a man who has integrity and means what he says and says what he means. He practices what he preaches. What he says in public, he does in private when no one is looking except God and his con-science.

2. It takes noble plans. The most noble plan is making sure his chil-dren grow “in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men” (Luke 2:52).

3. It takes a noble stand. He does not look at the world for his march-ing orders. Every day He picks up God’s Word and he asks God to

speak to him. Then he goes and carries out the noble plans that God has placed before him. He lives a holy life. He loves his wife and children. He serves his God with all his heart. He loves his neighbor as himself (Leviticus 19:18).

You say that father has a pretty tall and almost impossible order to fulfill. You are right. It is when a fa-ther turns his life over to Christ dai-ly, he can become a noble father. He makes noble plans and takes a noble stand each day. Today let’s encour-age fathers to be noble men of faith. Like David of the Bible he wants to be a “man after God’s own heart.”

A noble father

LPXLP

was beginning to understand just how difficult the following months and years were going to be, as he was heading toward a show-down with the Jewish leadership at Je-rusalem. The Holy Spirit had been preparing him for what lay ahead, and Paul was convinced he would never see these men again. It is an amazing passage, full of raw emo-tion. But the proof-texting side of me is interested in something else, entirely.

The New Testament uses sever-al words to describe the leadership of the local church. In this passage, Paul uses three of them to identify the work

these men were doing (and would continue to do in his absence). First, he calls them “elders.” It means the older men. He then refers to the same group as “overseers.” Finally, he calls the group pastors and shepherds. They were all the same group. Elders, pastors and overseers in the church refer to the same position of authority and service. That’s important; but not the main point of the passage.

This Sunday, I have decided to spend less time with proving that point and more time listening to Paul, as he says goodbye to this group of fel-low-servants.

See you Sunday.
