Film crew ‘discovers’ Sayre
Discovery Channel films ‘Today
in America’ segment in Sayre
highlighting town’s attributes
Cheryl Overstreet
Community Editor
SAYRE - When a representative from
the Discovery Channel called Sayre’s
city manager and said the cable network
would like to produce a feature story on
his town, Guy Hylton said, “Come on.”
And they did.
A Discovery Channel film crew arrived
in Sayre on Dec. 9 to film a segment for a
new series – “Today in America.”
“Somehow, they found out Sayre is a
great place to raise a family,” Hylton said.
The city manager said the crew filmed
at several different venues in town and
interviewed local people, including the
school superintendent, the mayor and
several business people.
“We showed them the school, industrial
park, business park, new apartments, rail
spur, park facilities, golf course, downtown renovations and the new housing,”
Hylton said. “For the first time in 25
years, we have rail traffic in Sayre.”
Several spur lines pick up crude oil
from tank batteries and transport it by
rail to refineries.
“That has created a few more jobs
here,” Hylton said.
He said other oil-related businesses are
moving in nearby.
“Somehow, they
found out Sayre is a
great place to raise a
family ... We have a
lot of young families
here.”
Guy Hylton, Sayre city manager
In addition to the oil and gas industry,
a new NAPA store has opened. A fitness
center is under construction, as well as an
antique market downtown.
The city of Sayre is building a new animal shelter and McDonald’s is moving in.
“We have a lot of young families here,”
Hylton said. “We’re trying.”
Hylton said the Discovery Channel
video segment is in the editing process
right now.
“They will send us a version to approve
when editing is complete,” he said. “Then
they will send the schedule for broadcast.
“It will be narrated by Terry Bradshaw,” Hylton said. “He didn’t come here
though – he’s doing a voice over.”
Owners of upcoming Sayre gym hope for February grand opening

SAYRE - Chad and Jennifer Shotts may call
Hollis home, but they’re bringing a new business to Sayre.
“We looked around, but we decided to open
up in Sayre,” Jennifer Shotts said. “We like the
community there.”
C&J Body Works will be a 24-hour gym with
several kinds of equipment, including sports
toning tables, tanning beds weights, elliptical
machines and treadmills, Shotts said.
There will be a room for children whose
parents bring them to the gym, with a television in the child room and another in the gym
itself. Members will be able to access the gym
through a card system.
The Shottses have been hunting for a location for a couple of years, she said, and narrowed their focus to Sayre about a year ago.
“Trying to find a location and building was
the biggest hurdle,” she said. “We had to find
a place that was the right location, the right
size.”

They ultimately settled on a location along
Main Street, and now they hope to have their
grand opening next month.
“If everything goes good, we hope to have
the grand opening on Feb. 2,” Shotts said.
“We’re excited to meet more people in the
community and getting to know everyone better.”
Opening the gym, Shotts said, is her and her
husband’s way of trying to improve the health
of Americans.
“We’re trying to get America healthy,” she
said.
Shotts said she and her husband hope to
have between 200 and 400 members at the
gym.
“We won’t have contracts,” Shotts said.
While the Shottses aren’t accepting memberships right now, she said they will begin
accepting them the day they open.
“We’re really looking forward to being in the
community,” Shotts said. “We hope people will
use and enjoy the gym.”

Town hall
meeting
Monday
A town hall meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. at the City
Commission meeting room preceding Monday’s City
Commission meeting.
The mayor and city commission are hoping for the
public’s input on the dates and times for commission
meetings. The dates are being discussed in an effort to
make meetings as accessible as possible.
Historically, the meetings have been held at 7 p.m.
on the first Monday of each month and at 2 p.m. on the
third Wednesday of each month. However, last month
commissioners discussed the possibility of moving the
second meeting to 6 p.m. on the third Monday of each
month as a way to make meetings more accessible.
“It is open for discussion and the mayor and commission want to accommodate the desires of the citizens
as much as possible,” said a meeting notice from Sipes’
office Wednesday. “Please come share your thoughts
as they make this decision affecting the future of Elk
City.”
While the dates have officially been set for the year,
they can be changed, according to City Manager Anita
Archer during the Dec. 3 City Commission meeting.
Commissioners were required to vote on the schedule,
but could come back and change the schedule at a later
date if they needed to.

2012 was worst year for
whooping cough since 1955
The Associated Press
The nation just suffered its
worst year for whooping cough
in nearly six decades, according to preliminary government
figures.
Whooping cough ebbs and
flows in multi-year cycles,
and experts say 2012 appears
to have reached a peak with
41,880 cases.
Another factor: A vaccine
used since the 90s doesn’t last
as long as the vaccine that was
used in previous years.
The vaccine problem may
continue to cause higher than
normal case counts of whooping cough in the future, said
Dr. Tom Clark of the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention.
“I think the numbers are
going to trend up,” he said.
The agency provided the latest
figures on Friday.
Whooping cough has affected Elk City residents as
well. In July, 7-week-old Aiden
Smith died from whooping
cough.
“He has touched so many
lives across the world and just
because Aiden is no longer
with us doesn’t mean God
is finished with what Aiden
started,” Aiden’s aunt, Sarah
Simpson, posted in an update
to a Facebook page dedicated
to the infant after the news of
his death.
Last year, cases were up in
48 states and outbreaks were
particularly bad in Colorado,
Minnesota, Washington state,
Wisconsin and Vermont.
The good news: Despite
the high number of illnesses,
the number of deaths due
to whooping cough didn’t
increase. Eighteen people died,
including 15 infants younger
than 1.
Officials aren’t sure why
there weren’t more deaths, but
think that the attention paid
to bad outbreaks across the
nation resulted in infected children getting diagnosed faster
and treated with antibiotics.
Also, a push last year to
vaccinate pregnant women —
a measure designed to pass
immunity to infants — may
have had some small measure
of success, Clark said.
The final tally will be higher
but unlikely to surpass the
nearly 63,000 illnesses in 1955,
he said.
Whooping cough is a highly
contagious disease that can
strike people of any age but is
most dangerous to children. Its
name comes from the sound
children make as they gasp for
breath.
It used to be a common
threat, with hundreds of
thousands of cases annually.
Cases gradually dropped after
a vaccine was introduced in
the 1940s.
For about 25 years, fewer
than 5,000 cases were reported
annually in the U.S.
But case counts started
to climb again in the 1990s
although not every year.
Numbers jumped to more than
27,000 in 2010, the year California saw an especially bad
epidemic.
Experts looking for an
explanation have increasingly looked at a new vaccine
introduced in the 1990s, and
concluded its protection is not
as long-lasting as was previously thought.
Children are routinely vaccinated with five doses beginning
at 2 months, and a booster shot
is recommended at around 11
or 12.
Health officials are considering recommending another
booster shot, strengthening the
vaccine or devising a brand
new one.

Town hall:
Good call
Our
View
Mayor Teresa Mullican and Elk
City’s City Commission are hosting a
town meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday in
City Hall, 3rd and Washington.
The subject: Making the commission’s meeting schedule more publicfriendly.
City government belongs to the people who live in Elk City.
Streets paved, projects planned, money spent – it all is your
business. The people who gather in the City Commission
meeting room a couple times a month to make those decisions
are there because you voted them there.
The best slogan for government is “do it in the open.” Elk
City is fortunate to have elected officials who understand and
honor that message.
Monday’s meeting is testament to that as commissioners
invite residents to come in and let them know what meeting
times are most accessible for those who want to observe city
government in action – or to participate.
We commend our City Commission for taking steps to make
its 2013 meeting schedule as accessible as possible to the
public.
If you want to have your say, show up for Monday’s town
meeting. If you want to see how it all works, hang around for
Monday’s City Commission meeting at 7 p.m. We’ll save you
a seat.

I’ve heard the

People come into
the Daily News office to place an ad or
extend their subscription and suddenly
my girth becomes the hot topic of the
moment.
“That is one big dog.” “She’s certainly getting enough to
eat.”
Hello. I’m in the room here.
So, not that I would bend to reader pressure – but. It’s a new
year. What the heck. I have decided to curb my er, enthusiasm,
for food a bit and ratchet up the walks a notch. Prepare to see a
sleeker, more fit Boxer About Town by spring.
I have a plan. I am calculating my body mass index. Yes, dog
BMI is a thing – I googled it. I am weaning myself away from
the extra afternoon Milk Bones. And I am hitting the dog path
with renewed commitment. Keep your table scraps to yourself.
I am ALL about yoga these days. You should see my down face
dog.
Namaste.

STRONG 4 Jacob help
Letter to
the Editor
Thanks to all who helped
with the fundraising benefit
STRONG 4 Jacob.
Jacob was diagnosed with
end stage renal disease last
July. Because of the high medical costs associated with a kidney transplant, our friends and
San Francisco Chronicle on Russia’s adoption policy:
Russian President Vladimir Putin just signed a cruel and
spiteful law that will bar Americans from adopting Russian
children.
The new law will wreck the lives of the 46 children whose
American adoptions were already under way, hundreds of
other American families who had launched the adoption process, and the lives of countless children to come who will now
live out their childhoods in Russian orphanages. Americans
adopt nearly a thousand Russian children every year.
The worst part is, Putin did it just to thumb his nose at the
Americans for daring to protest his government’s loathsome
human rights record.
It wasn’t enough for Putin to crush dissenters and others
who object to his increasingly autocratic rule — he had to bring
vulnerable orphans into it, too.
and raffle ticket sales; and the
most unrecognized group, the
cleanup.
A special thank you to Mark
Britton, district manager for
TTS, for the use of the TTS
building in which the benefit
was held and for donating the
guns for the raffle.
Thank you to the generous
people and businesses who
donated food and time to make
the benefit possible.
For those who were able to
take off work and come to the
benefit to honor Jacob, bless
you. Our whole family is grateful to all of you.
Also, thank you to the strangers who gave, not because they
know Jacob, but because this is
what their heart led them to do.
Most of all, thank you for the
many prayers. God bless you.

What do I think?

Kevin Black
I was all set to continue
boring the reading public with
a discussion of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery when my well-laid plans
were interrupted by a question
from a former student.
I must answer, for if you
have once sat in my classroom,
you are forever one of my kids.
This particular student, who
was a wonderful child with an
exceptional mind, emailed asking my opinion on education
reform, at both the national
and state level.
As a recent graduate of
Boston University with a law
degree, she is preparing to be-
come a teacher in an inner city
school in Massachusetts with
Teach for America, a nonprofit
corporation that places graduates of prestigious universities in public schools that are
generally, well, challenging.
I deeply admire her determination and willingness to
sacrifice for children.
What I would like to see in
terms of education reform,
speaking only as a teacher, not
an expert in any way, shape, or
form…I would say the following ought to be considered.
1. Accept the idea that not
every student will want to be,
or need to be, a college graduate.
2. Politicians are generally
clueless about education in
general and public schools in
particular and should not be in
charge.
3. Understand that parents
are the most important factor
in a child’s education and no
teacher can change that.
4. Realize that poverty affects how well a student does
in school.
5. Notice that the best
schools are not rundown.
6. Small classes are better
taught than large classes.
7. Standardized tests are, for
the most part, a waste of time
and money.
8. Poor funding yields poor
schools.
9. Teachers aren’t the enemy.
I could go on, but that’s some
of what
I would
like to see
targeted.
My opinions are my
own.
Have a
great day
and a betBlack

My mom turns 90 this
month.
Today she left on her first
cruise. She took along my
email address and said if she
had a chance to get online with
her laptop she’d shoot me a
note.
I think she’ll be too busy
for that. What with ports in
Cozumel and Jamaica and formal dinners and having three
generations of family members
tending to her every want and
need.
My mom’s been a lot of
places in her nearly nine
decades. Seen a lot. Felt a lot.
Experienced a lot.
She raised six kids she gave
birth to and two she didn’t.
She’s been around to see all
but four of them go to their
final resting place. And there is
little indication she might not
outlive the rest of us, too.
Mom has memories of the
Dust Bowl and the Great
Depression and the summer
during her childhood when she
didn’t own a pair of shoes.
She buried her sister when
she was 7 and her mama a few
months after. In 2006 she said
goodbye to her second husband
and a grandson.
She talks a couple of evenings a week with a favorite
aunt – living in Albuquerque
and nearly a decade her senior.
Mom has lived nearly 90
years of memories, some regrettable, some good.
Some of the good ones I’ve
been blessed to experience
with her.
Crazy stuff like bouncing along on a gravel road in
northern Canada, just us and
my dog, driving north until we
found a village on a lake and
pitched a tent under a sky that
never grew dark.
Sobering stuff like crossing behind the Berlin Wall
into East Germany with a
study tour during the Cold
War. Milestones like watching
television coverage of the same
wall crumbling to the ground a
few years later.
I was in college the year
Mom hopped a plane – alone
- and flew to Australia to see
my brother. There were many
other trips she took without me
– like the cruise that left port
today.
Mom doesn’t go nearly as often as she did even a few years
ago. Truth be told, she spends
a lot of time these days in her
recliner, watching her 50-inch
HD TV and figuring out the
nuances of Facebook posting.
“Tell me about the Twitter,”
she urges me.
We tease her now and
then about sleeping late and
jockeying that La Z Boy and
trying to figure out her cellular
phone. She lives with her dog,
drives her
minivan to
the grocery
store and
keeps track
of everything Gary
England
says
about the
Bittner
weather.
Mom
told me not long ago that in
her mind she sees her younger
self, able to go anywhere, do
anything. She looks in the
mirror and is surprised by the
white hair, the aged skin, the
octogenarian that is her.
True, these days her body
isn’t keeping up with the life
she wants to live.
But when she looks back on
the life she’s lived thus far,
what a body of work.

Elkette duo forms
solid front line
Blake Colston
Sports Editor
Erin Hutchinson and Nikyla
Clinton usually finish what
they start on the basketball
floor.
If they aren’t on the court
during the beginning, middle
and end of the game it’s
because they fouled out or the
game wasn’t close.
On average, the duo plays
27 of the 32 regulation minutes in a game. Sophomore
Whitney Brownfield spells the
pair sometimes, but basically
Hutchinson and Clinton are the
Elk City Elkettes’ frontcourt
this season.
Starting in little league,
every kid wants to play every
minute of every game. But how
is it when they actually get that
chance?
“We like it, we really do,”
Hutchinson said of the heavy
playing time. “During the
game when you get tired you
know you have to push through
it.”
A junior, Clinton didn’t play
many varsity minutes last
season. So the uptick in playing time has been nice, but it
hasn’t been easy.
“I like getting to play more,”
she said. “But it does kind of
suck when you get tired and
there’s no one behind you.”
Other than an occasional

earlier this season. File photo by Blake Colston.
grimace, neither shows any ill
effects on the floor.
And their play stays at a
high level late into games.
Hutchinson scored 8 of Elk
City’s final 10 points in regulation and overtime and Clinton
added a clutch layup in the
Elkettes’ 52-49 victory against
Woodward Dec. 14.
Clinton’s made a habit of
blocking opposing teams’ shots
around the bucket lately. She
denied seven shots in three
games in last week’s Duncan
tournament, including three
blocks apiece against 6A Norman North and Iowa Park,
Texas.
“(Nikyla) has done a good
job of figuring out where and
how to block shots,” head
coach Tim Ellison said.
At 6-foot-1 sometimes, Clinton says, blocking shots can be
about luck.
But, like her coach said,
she’s refined her ability to
make blocking shots more of
a skill.
“If I pay attention it’s a lot
easier,” she said. “When I get
a little lazy is when I get fouls
trying to block shots.”
Hutchinson says because
they’ve played together so
much, they’ve developed a
kind of sixth sense on the floor.
“We work together,” the
senior said. “We kind of know
how each other plays and
where we’re going to be on the
court.”
The pair takes advantage of
timeouts to regain their breath,
Ellison says. And the coach
plays four guards during certain stretches of games to steal
a few minutes of rest, too.
The Elkettes count on the
combo to rebound and play
defense, but lately both have
been contributing more on
offense. That makes Elk City
tough to defend, Ellison says.
“It helps a lot. It helps free
up MiKayla (Harrison), Courtney (Jacks) and Kailan (Craig).
When the posts can score
inside, now the other team has
to worry about them,” he said.
Because their offensive
punch makes Elk City harder
to guard, both players spend
extra time working on finishing
shots around the basket before,
during and after practice.
Most of the time, finishing
what they start isn’t a problem.
Aggies clobber Sooners
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) —
Oklahoma and steady veteran
quarterback Landry Jones
wound up being no match for
Johnny Football and a former
Big 12 rival.
Heisman Trophy winner
Johnny Manziel had a Cotton Bowl-record 516 total
yards with four touchdowns
and 10th-ranked Texas A&M
wrapped up its first SEC season with a 41-13 win over the
12th-ranked Sooners on Friday
night in Jones’ 50th and final
career start.
When Jones threw a 6-yard
TD pass to Justin Brown just
before halftime, the Sooners
(10-3) were down by only a
point.
They didn’t score again.
And after not punting before
that, they opened the second
half going three-and-out on
end of mayan calendar

their first three drives — while
the Aggies (11-2) were scoring
three consecutive touchdowns.
“It was obvious tonight
that we didn’t play the way
we should have played,” said
Jones, whose frustration was
evident when he yelled at a
teammate after a failed fourthdown play. “We couldn’t run
it. We couldn’t throw it. It happens, you know. “
The Sooners played in
the Cotton Bowl for only the
second time, but faced their
former Big 12 rival for the 17th
consecutive season.
With first-year coach Kevin
Sumlin and their young star
quarterback, the Aggies are
already fitting right in with the
SEC.
They broke the broke the
SEC record with their 7,261
total yards this season (the
first over 7,000 after 633 in
Cowboys Stadium). They also
averaged more than 40 points
a game.
And they capped their debut
season with an overwhelming
victory in the only postseason
game matching teams from the
Big 12 and SEC.
This win marked the Aggies’
first 11-win season since 1998,
when they won their only Big
12 title.
The chants of “S-E-C! S-EC!” began after Manziel’s 33yard TD pass to Ryan Swope
with 4 minutes left in the third
quarter for a 34-13 lead.
They got louder and longer
after that.
Texas A&M never trailed after Manziel tiptoed the sideline
for a 23-yard touchdown on the
first drive of the game.
“To come in and go against a
Big 12 rival and do everything
we wanted as a team, and send
these seniors out with a win,
we couldn’t feel any better,”
Manziel said after his first
game since becoming the first
freshman to win the Heisman
Trophy.
Texas A&M never trailed
while winning its last six
games.
That included its win at SEC
champion Alabama, which
plays for the BCS national title
Monday night.
Manziel set an FBS bowl record with his 229 yards rushing
on 17 carries, and completed
22 of 34 passes for 287 yards.
“Johnny Manziel is everything he was billed to be,
expected him to be,” said
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops,
who after the game shook the
quarterback’s hand and told
him “good job.”
SEC teams have won the last
five Cotton Bowls, all against
Big 12 teams, and nine out of
10.
That included Texas A&M’s
loss to LSU only two years ago.
Oklahoma, led by quarterback Landry Jones in his 50th
career start, had 401 total
yards as a team.
Jones completed 35 of 48
passes for 278 yards with a
touchdown and an interception.

sweeps
Elk City
WEATHERFORD – It
wasn’t meant to be for Elk
City Friday night at Weatherford.
Weatherford beat Elk
City on the basketball
floor twice in two different
games.
The Elkettes weren’t
competitive in the girls
contest for long. The Lady
Eagles raced out to a 22-6
lead after the first quarter
and cruised to a 77-29 win.
Chandler Roof scored
21 points and grabbed five
rebounds and three steals to
pace 4A No. 5 Weatherford.
Erin Hutchinson and Nikyla Clinton scored 8 points
apiece to lead Elk City in
the loss.
The Big Elks were in the
game with the Eagles until
the end. They even led with
42-39 with 1:42 to play, but
Weatherford found a way
to defend their home floor
and scratched out a 45-42
victory.
Elk City returns to the

Elk City star halfway home
Throughout this basketball season The Elk City Daily News will
provide readers a chance to keep tabs on former Elk City basketball star Cade Davis from the perspective of Davis and his wife,
Mara, while he plays professionally in Macedonia.
Davis is in his second season with MZT Skopje of the Adriatic
Basketball League.
Davis is in his second year
playing basketball overseas,
making a total of 15 months being away from family, friends
and home.
“Even though it may seem
difficult at times being so far
away from the things you
know, there are valuable lessons to be learned along the
way as well as great experiences to cherish,” he said.
MZT will host Budućnost
from Montenegro Saturday at
10 a.m. and action can be seen
live at abaliga.com.
Mara Elizabeth Davis
Special to the Elk City Daily News
SKOPJE- Six months into the season means one thing for
American basketball players overseas: There’s light at the end of
their journey and only five months left to play.
For the first half of the season, MZT Skopje has played 15
games and is ranked fifth in the Adriatic League standings.
They have topped well-respected opponents such as Cibona
and Cedevita, both from Croatia, as well as Union Olympia coming out of Slovenia.
Cade Davis began the season with 21 points in the first victory
over Cibona. He’s played 431 minutes in all 15 games, scoring
176 points. While maintaining a solid 50 percent shooting average
from the field and 36 percent from the 3-point line, Davis has
earned a spot on the Top 10 Best Shooters in the ABA League
Listings. He’s also chipped in areas on defense with 13 stolen
balls and 68 rebounds thus far.
“With having the first half of the season under our belt, it’s
great for our team that we have learned what needs to be done to
win in this league along with building confidence not only in the
team but in ourselves to play at this level,” Davis said.
With little expectations being rookies in the league, MZT has
shocked many of the veteran teams by climbing in standings
throughout the season.
A few of the opposing teams MZT defeated contained future
NBA hopefuls along with some Euroleague players, which is the
best European basketball league.
“Being ranked where we are gives us motivation to finish out
the second part of the season better than we did in the first. We
have seen the potential in our team and have set goals that we
hope to reach by the end of the season,” Davis said.
This year the break between the first and second half of the
season was short-lived due to the addition of the ABA League.
However, the days given off for Christmas gave the Davis family an opportunity to venture out and see more of Europe.
“We were blessed to be able to travel to Vienna, Austria, for our
first official Christmas as newlyweds,” Davis said. “The city was
very romantic around this time of year with several traditions
and sights to see. We got to experience and witness an entirely
different culture. It was not only wonderful to see the fascinating
city and its heritage but also to rejuvenate for the second half of
the season.”
Also, the Davises were fortunate to ring in the new year seven
hours earlier than usual due to the time difference between Skopje and Elk City.
“We were kindly invited to a neighbor’s flat for a traditional
Macedonian meal and music as we counted down the minutes to
2013,” Davis said. “It was interesting and intriguing seeing how
another country brings in the new year.”

“Hello, this is President
Kennedy, whom am I
talking to?” Peck identified himself and Kennedy
replied, “Thank you, I was
just checking.” The call was
part of Kennedy’s check-up
on the operation of several
military hotlines for use in
times of crisis.
75 Years Ago
-This week in 1928,
Charley Smotherman, Elk
City police chief, captured
a fugitive with $150 on his
head. Smotherman saw the
man, Tony Morton, driving
down the street and tried to
stop him. Morton poured on
the speed and attempted to
get away, but Smotherman
shot both rear tires with his
six gun. Morton jumped out
and ran for it, but Smotherman gave chase and quickly
caught him.
- Elk City’s Rex Theatre
showed “Get Your Man,” a
silent movie featuring Clara
Bow.
- Rawleigh Methods ran a
want ad for an “ambitious,
industrious white person to
introduce Rawleigh Household Products.”
- Gould’s Market of Elk
City began taking telephone
orders for groceries.
The monthly meeting of
United Methodist Women was
held Jan. 2 in the Life Center
of the church with Phillis
Smith presiding.
She began with a welcome
to all and extended thanks to
the executive committee who
hosted the baked potato and
trimmings luncheon. Tables
were decorated in a New Year
celebration theme.
Sharon Hodges, reading
from Luke 9:23 and 2 Corinthians 3:6, gave the devotion and
urged us, as Christian women,
to focus on our commitment
to serve him in spite of fear or
reservation, remembering that
our strength comes from the
Lord, through the power of the
spirit.
Sibyl Hillock read the minutes of the December meeting,
as well as current correspondence and approved.
The treasurer’s report was
given by Mareen Hallmark.
All past transactions have
been verified and nothing new
needed review.
Carla Garrison read from
the prayer calendar according
to the English version of the
Austrian unit concerning the
young women’s program in
Africa.
Several items were addressed under new business
including Smith’s reminder to
sign up on the passed-around
sheet as to how many books
each person has read on the
reading program.
Members were reminded
they could count books as
being read if they had heard a
book review program.
In addition, Smith sent
around a questionnaire giving members opportunity to
express goals for 2013 for our
unit.
The Jan. 12 Re-Ignite
district workshop for officers,
which we will host, was discussed.
Registration fees will be
paid for anyone who signed up.
The group decided by
consensus to provide a light
registration breakfast and
cater the luncheon through
Western Sizzlin’. Breads and
other breakfast items should
be at the church by 8 a.m.
A list of sessions was sent
around for review and a signup
sheet for breakfast items. Vicki
Chambers reported that, it
being calendar time, we need
to have our ad subscriptions
turned in by the February
general meeting.
She had cards ready for
members to use in contacting local businesses. Ads are
priced at $45 and $25.
A calendar is complimentary
to those who purchase ads,
but listings, made through the
church office, are 50 cents per
item.
Chambers also passed out
the new 2013 membership
books entitled Connecting
Members for a Faithfull Future: Everyone Matters! Smith
displayed the UMW resource
book that members can use in
preparing programs.
Recommendations from the
executive committee: Mareen
Hallmark suggested that
we establish a fund to save
for renovation of the parlor,
especially since we have
received generous unexpected
and funeral dinner donations
that would make a nice start
for such a fund. It was moved
by Garrison and seconded by
Anita Carpenter that we do so.
The motion carried.
Suggestion was made that
we contact Gary Thompson
and his wife for consultation
input on what is needful and
would be advisable to consider. Also, an estimate of costs
would be appreciated.
It was suggested that profit
from calendar sales this year
also go into that fund. After
discussion, a motion made
by Barbara Thompson with
second by Garrison that we
look into the possibility of
purchasing a large rolling tool
chest in which to store our new
flatware was carried. A report
on findings is to be made soon.
Concerns for those ill or
bereaved were voiced and
Smith lifted those to the Lord
in prayer. Beverly Wall’s address, 3308 Westover, Plano,
Texas, 75093 was noted.
Smith reminded of upcoming meetings: Christine Smith
Circle, Jan. 16 with Garrison
and Debra Gholston in charge;
Lois Smith Circle, Jan. 28, Lois
Hubbard responsible; and
general, Feb. 6 with Carpenter,
Gholston, Deannie Rule and
Barbara Blake hosting.
Hallmark presented the
day’s program, quoting
Thompson’s reading of I Peter
4: 8-11, praying over and commenting on its teachings of
constant love. She pointed out
that there are many avenues
open to us as United Methodist
women and encouraged members to be mindful throughout
our year of the ways we can
walk in holiness and invite others to the Lord’s banquet table.
Pledge cards were handed
out for each member’s consideration.
Smith closed the meeting
with the reading of the Prayer
of St. Francis of Assisi, then
wishing a happy new year to
all.
Meeting adjourned.
In attendance were Barbara Thompson, Phillis Smith,
Devon Krause, Pat Henry, Nita
Blackwell, Nelda Burch, June
Conrad, Sue Atchley, Anita
Carpenter, Mareen Hallmark,
Sibyl Hillock, Vicki Chambers,
Helen Nayfa, Mary Townsend,
Debra Gholston, Carla Garrison, Stephanie Hinkle,
Miranda Soto, Ginger Savage,
Patsy Soto, Cheeri Anthes,
Sharon Hodges and Charlene
Sharp.
Retired educators meet
The Beckham/Roger Mills
Unit of OREA met at 11:30
a.m. Dec. 14 for their regular
meeting and luncheon at the
Elks Lodge, Elk City. President
Linda Long presided over the
meeting. Carla Garrison led in
prayer. Mary Fern Carpenter
led the Pledge of Allegiance.
She thanked Long for the special treats she gives each one at
the meetings.
Carpenter gave the devotion.
She read the essay, “One Solitary Life.” Twenty centuries
have come and gone but Jesus
is still the central figure of the
human race.
During the business session,
minutes were approved as pre-
sented. Becky Newlin gave the
treasurer’s report. The cost of
the program booklets is an outstanding bill. The report was
approved as presented. The
officers made a motion to give
Purcy Walker a gift certificate
to Simon’s Catch instead of a
plaque. A Certificate of Appreciation will also be presented.
Motion carried.
The membership report was
presented by Jane Mershon,
SW district director. A membership campaign ends Feb.
28. For each new member,
the unit will receive $9from
the state. The goal is to get
five new members. Garrison
reported on the idea for rais-

ing funds for an educational

The program was presented
by Walker and his mother, Carolyn. Walker reminisced about
Christmas childhood memories
with his family then he and his
mother sang a Christmas song
after each story.
To end the program, members joined in singing, “O
Come All Ye Faithful,” “Joy to
the World,” and “We Wish You
a Merry Christmas.”
After a white elephant gift
exchange, the meeting adjourned with 17 members and
guests attending: Linda Long,

Healthy diet helps hair and body
A Natural Way
Donna Nicholas
Thomas
Dear Grandma Donna:
Jay is highly upset because
he is losing his hair. I know
many guys and even some
women lose their hair as they
get older, but Jay is only 18,
which seems way too young to
be balding.
You know that we young
people like to look our very
best and our hair is our shining glory. Do you know anything that might help Jay?
Love, Savana
Dear Savana:
When I was a much younger
woman, I remember being
with two of my dad’s aunts
who had such thin hair their
scalp showed clearly between
hairs. Because my hair is fine
and thin like that side of the
family, I knew I could have
the same problem as I grew
older.
I am thankful that I didn’t
waste time worrying about
that possibility. Today I am
the age of those aunts and my
hair is better than it was when
I was young. It continues to
be fine and thin but it has far
more body.
The condition of my hair
changed for the better when
I changed from the regular
American diet of meat, dairy
products and refined food to
an all-plant-food diet.
Our diet affects every as-
pect of our body’s health and
that includes our hair.
Not only does Jay need to
sacrifice animal products
and refined food, he must
exchange sodas for water or
fruit juice.
His new diet will be made
up of whole grains, fruit and
vegetables, legumes and
nuts.
One more possibility to
stop hair loss comes from the
director of the Restoration
Ranch Health Institute in
Yucca Valley, California.
He recommends eating
only whole foods, then take
these three ingredients available at health food stores:
Biotine
Flaxseed Oil
Silica
For healthy hair - eat plant
food!
Grandma Donna
To help Jay make this
change, I will write a breakfast and four main meal
plans. He should add whole
grain bread with peanut butter or his choice of spread,
and as much fresh fruit and
vegetables as he wants to
each meal.
Breakfast: Whole-grain
cereal (oatmeal, brown rice,
whole wheat) with almond
milk, banana, raisins, a citrus
fruit and choice of nuts.
Dinner #1: Large lima
beans, baked sweet potatoes
and cooked cabbage.
Wash 2 cups beans and put
in the crockpot with 5 cups
water, a chopped onion and 3
minced garlic cloves to cook
overnight.
Wash the sweet potatoes,
wrap in foil and bake at 400
one hour. Wash the cabbage,
cut up and cook with 1/4 cup
water about 30 minutes.
Dinner #2: Lentil/Rice
Soup. Put these ingredients
in a pot and simmer for one
hour: 1 cup lentils, 4 cups
water, 2 chopped onions, 3
cloves minced garlic, 1/2
cup washed, brown rice, 2 T
lemon juice.
Add 10 ounces frozen
spinach and cook 10 minutes
longer.
Dinner #3: Stir fry with a
pot of black beans. Wash and
cook 2 cups beans overnight
in the crockpot with 5 cups
water, a chopped onion and 3
garlic cloves.
Wash and cook 1 cup of
brown rice in 2 cups water for
1 hour.
Cook in a sprayed skillet
until tender: 2 peeled, sliced
potatoes, 2 sliced yellow
squash, 1 chopped tomato and
1 chopped onion. Serve on
top of cooked rice and season
with salt.
Dinner #4: Avocado sandwiches with baked beans!
Wash and cook 2 cups great
northern beans with 5 cups
water overnight in the crock
pot.
Add to 4 cups cooked beans
2 cups canned tomatoes, 2 T
lemon juice, 1 chopped green
pepper, 1/4 cup molasses,
3 minced garlic cloves, 1
chopped onion, 1 t salt. Bake
at 350 one hour.
For sandwiches, peel and
slice an avocado on whole
wheat bread and top with
tomatoes and onion.

Mary Corson’s journal notes reveal the times
Metcalfe Museum News
Roger Lester
Lloydelle Lester
I said in last week’s article
that I was going to begin my
journal writings from Mary
Corson’s hand in 1895 but
today I was thumbing through
earlier writings and discovered
Corson had written more than
just weather temperatures and
whether it was windy, cold or
raining.
From October to December
1892, at the time they were
located in Beaver County badlands, there seemed to be a lot
of interaction with friends and
neighbors.
Corson wrote mostly in
pencil so, at times, it is hard to
distinguish names but it was a
fairly interesting time.
I will begin writing notations
that she made at random in her
journal.
Much of the writing involves
Augusta Metcalfe’s father,
Edward Corson, and brother
Howard Corson who was 11
years older than she was was.
He died around age 30 from
asthma.
“Howard got home from
Texas claim and went to Kneonis Ranch.
“On the 3rd, he came home
with beef and left again on the
4th for the claim.
On Oct. 9, Mary writes that
Howard is not home yet.
“It takes a whole week to
make a round trip as it is 40
miles to the claim.”
She wrote that he has a fast
team. Later that day she wrote
that he got home at noon.
On Oct. 10, Corson wrote,
“Sam Sh. came and we traded
horses with him. Paw and
Howard tearing down the
Gnaring house. Blowing a
gale.”
Oct. 11, “Pulling down the
Gnaring house. Blowed a hurricane for about 15 minutes.
Got house loaded on wagon and
at house. Blowed great guns
all night and let up a while to
begin again and still at it.”
Oct. 12, “Spit of rain. Paw
and Howard left with load for
the dam claim.
On the 14th, “they came back
at sundown.”
On the 15th, “they started
back with rest of the house.”
On the Oct. 16 and Oct. 17,
Corson wrote that the wind
blew again.
She wrote, “Pa came home.
Howard stayed at the claim.”
“Oct. 19th - the wind is still
blowing very hard. Billy Davis
came and Howard is home. He
and Edward (Pa) left to brand
cattle and haul a load. It rained
all night.”
Oct.20, “Still raining and
leaking, everything full. Paw
and Howard came home on the
21st.”
It continued to rain for two
more days, Corson wrote.
Then she wrote, “Howard is
sick and it is clearing up on the
24th.
“Howard feels a little better
on the 25th so he takes another
load to the dam. Old Haley borrowed horse collar.”
Mary wrote that Sam has
been there for three days hauling fodder.
She continued, “Pa and
Howard return home on the
28th and they all haul fodder
on the 29th. Old Thompson
electioneering. Howard and
Dick and Jackson C. loading to
haul to meadow.”
It was clear and warm on the
Oct. 31.
In Corson’s final journal entry for October 1892, she wrote
that Sam was hauling fodder
and “Augusta’s got bad cold.”

Iris Blackketter
We received snow over
Christmas and a rainy mix
New Year’s Eve that resulted
in .34 inch in the rain gauge.
For that, we’re truly thankful,
as moisture is needed so very
badly!
Delbert and Wanda Meyer
hosted Christmas at their
house the Saturday before and
the family was mostly all there
for a count of 42! They had
a very good time with lots of
good food. It’s been reported
that they even entertained a
visit from Santa Claus!
Those who were able to attend were Kenneth and Tarena

Pastor Dave and Jo McGarvey spent Christmas in the
hospital as Pastor Dave had
just finished a new round of
chemo. All reports are that it’s
going well, and he’s feeling
pretty chipper. They certainly
do appreciate all your prayers
on their behalf!
Asa and Louise Albright
hosted their family Christmas
the Saturday before and they
had a good crowd. Present
were Gina and Dennis Heck,
Leedey; Trey and Linda Albright and Wade, Leedey; Jason and Tosha Welty, Leedey;
Chancey and Morgan Heck,
Edmond; and April and Blake
Chambers, Kinley and Griffin,
Edmond.
Rev. Charles Rickel filled
in for Pastor Dave McGarvey
Sunday. His wife, Barbara,
came with him and she sang a
special song.
Linda Blackketter fixed
Christmas dinner for the Ruth
Blackketter family. Those
present to enjoy the wonderful
meal she put on the table were
Ariel and Alton Lohberger,
Allison, Texas; Laura Lohberger, Allison, Texas; Alicia
and Russell Lohberger, Amarillo, Texas; Loy Blackketter,
Marion, Kansas; Iris Blackketter, Little Canada, Minn.; and
of course, Lyle Blackketter.
Unfortunately, Ruth wasn’t
able to join them, as she spent
the day in the hospital.
Ruth would like to thank

Tart cherries – today’s hottest super fruit
CROSSWORD
1/2 cup)
1 jalapeño, chopped
1 tablespoon honey
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
Salt and pepper, to taste
(Family Features) Known
for their powerhouse of antioxidants, tart cherries have
emerged as one of today’s
hottest super fruits.
“The power of this Super
Fruit is undeniable,” said
Dr. Wendy Bazilian, author
of “The SuperFoodsRx Diet:
Lose Weight with the Power
of SuperNutrients.” Dr.
Bazilian explains that what is
really amazing is how far tart
cherries have come over the
last few years. “For example,
the fruit has long been anecdotally associated with pain
relief benefits. Today, there’s
a strong and significant body
of evidence backing that up.”
Beyond their health benefits,
tart cherries are shaping key
nutrition trends. “A growing
body of research suggests that
the powerful antioxidants in
tart cherries are linked to a
broad range of benefits – anti-inflammation, heart health,
pain relief, exercise recovery
and more. Some of the latest
reports call out the tart cherry
as ‘the’ Super Fruit to watch,”
says Dr. Bazilian.
Honey-Tart Cherry Glazed
Salmon with Rustic Tart
Cherry Salsa
Recipe courtesy of the
Cherry Marketing Institute in
partnership with www.SarahsCucinaBella.com
Serves: 4
Salsa:
1 cup chopped tart cherries
(thawed from frozen)
1 small red onion, diced (about
Salmon:
1 pound salmon fillet, cut
into four pieces
1/4 cup tart cherry juice (juice
from frozen cherries will work)
1/4 cup honey
In medium bowl, stir together ingredients for salsa
until well combined. Cover;
chill until ready to serve.
Preheat oven to 350°. Line
baking sheet with nonstick
aluminum foil or parchment
(foil preferred). Rinse salmon
fillets under cool water; pat dry
with paper towel. Arrange on
baking sheet.
In small bowl, whisk
together cherry juice and
honey. Spread half of mixture
over salmon fillets, reserving
second half.
Slide baking sheet into oven;
bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until
just about cooked through.
Drizzle second half of tart
cherry-honey mixture over fillets; bake for an additional 2 to
3 minutes, until slightly golden
at edges.
Serve salmon fillets on bed
of greens with tart cherry salsa
on top.

Needy couple wants money, not food
Dear Abby
Garfield
DEAR ABBY: I spent the afternoon
running errands. As I left the shopping center, I saw a young couple
with a baby and a toddler holding a
sign requesting help with food, as the
husband had just been laid off. I drove
past, then considered the children and
circled back.
I had no cash with me, so I stopped
and offered them our family's dinner
-- a jar of premium spaghetti sauce,
a pound of fresh ground beef, a box
of dried spaghetti, fruit cups that my
children usually take to school for
treats, and some canned soups I occasionally have for lunch.
Imagine my surprise when the
couple declined my generosity.
Instead, the man strongly suggested
that I should go to a nearby ATM
and withdraw cash to donate to them
because they preferred to select their
own groceries and pay their phone
bills. What are your thoughts on this?
GENUINELY PUZZLED IN AUSTIN, TEXAS
DEAR PUZZLED: What happened
is a shame. Some families are truly in
need and should be guided to a shelter
so they can receive help getting back
on their feet. However, in some cities you see the same people on the
same streets for long periods of time.
They have staked out their "turf," and
because the money they are given is
tax-free, some of them are doing quite
well. In your case, the couple you
saw holding the sign may have been
professional panhandlers, and the
children may have been "borrowed."
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I
have been separated for a year and
I have filed for divorce. We have
reached an agreement about everything except one thing: our tortoise.
This may seem strange, but Herbert
has always been our "child." I think
of him as my kid, and I believe my
husband when he says he loves him
that much, too. We got Herbert as a
baby that fit into the palm of my hand.
Herbert is now 9, very large and
lives in the backyard in a "doghouse"
structure.
The problem is, my husband still
wants to see Herbert. He agrees that
he will visit only when I am not at
home. I don't distrust him or worry
he will try to take Herbert, but I just
don't want him here.
I know that if Herbert is mine
legally, I won't have to let anyone see
him. Once our divorce is final, I want
nothing more to do with my husband
and he knows that. But it's like telling
someone he could never see his kid
again. I'd really like to know your
thoughts.
NICOLE IN SANFORD, FLA.
DEAR NICOLE: Because you can't
split Herbert in half, why not consider
shared custody? If your husband can
provide a safe place for the tortoise
to stay while he's with "Daddy," you
could work out an agreement so that
you could exchange your "kid" at a
neutral place -- such as your veterinarian's office -- and you wouldn't
have to see your husband and vice
versa.
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I
will celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary next summer, and we're planning to renew our vows. I'm trying to
decide if I should wear my original
wedding gown. (I wore it on our 25th
anniversary.)
Would it be in good taste to wear
the same dress, or should I go with
something else? We'll be inviting some
of the same people who attended the
25th anniversary party.
MARY IN ALBUQUERQUE
DEAR MARY: Congratulations on
your long and happy marriage. If you
can still fit into your original wedding
dress, by all means wear it. I consider
it an accomplishment. You'll be the
envy of most of the women at your
celebration, and probably some of the
men.
