Pocola bond fails
Children of the Corn
Superintendent says another try likely
By Ken Milam
PDN News Editor
Pocola voters turned down a $5.08 million school bond proposition for new construction Tuesday.
The vote tally was 299 to 260, or 53.78
percent to 46.22 percent in favor of the
proposal. By state law, bond issues require
60 percent approval to pass.
The money would have funded a new
activity center and safe room for the dis-
trict, according to Superintendent Lawrence Barnes.
The activity center would have served
all grade levels and featured a basketball
court, stage and safe rooms beneath the
bleachers and in the restroom areas to
house approximately 900 people.
Local law officials would have had key
access to the safe rooms at all times,
Barnes said.

October is Archaeology Month in Oklahoma and around the world, and the Spiro
Mounds Archaeological Center will hold a
special day Saturday with a lecture and a
guided walk.
The Spiro Mounds Archaeological Center is the only prehistoric American Indian
archaeological site in Oklahoma open to
the public. Archaeology Month is sponsored and promoted by the Oklahoma
Anthropological Society features many
more events across Oklahoma in October.
There will be a sand box for younger
kids to find coins and shells and a couple
of donated items given throughout the day A worker sets up the Ferris wheel at the LeFlore County Fairgrounds in advance of this weekend’s BalloonFest. Tonight is Family Night at the carnival with unlimited rises with purchase of

“We’re disappointed. It would have
been a good addition for our community,”
Barnes said.
He said school officials probably will
go to voters in the future “for this or something similar.”
“The need is still there. We can’t give
up on the kids or their needs,” he said.
He said the high school and middle
schools do not have a safe room, and the
facility would have been more conveniently located for the general public during dangerous weather.
“We really thought it was something
they could support,” he said.
Previous proposals for new construction also failed.
In 2014, the district sought a $4.48 million bond for a multipurpose building and
renovations to the high school, elementary
school and a baseball-softball complex. A
similar bond for $3.585 million in 2013
also failed.
If it had passed, the latest proposal
would have increased property taxes by
$16.42 for every $100 currently paid.
Traffic is closed down to a single lane while bridge work continues on U.S. Highway
59 bridges near the Long Lake Resort Wednesday afternoon.

DRIVING
of alcohol consumed were entered into
the simulator. Thanks to two monitors
around the display, classmates where able
to view the same thing the driver was
seeing.
For the texting and driving phase, students were told to drive 45 mph then told
to text “Happy Birthday” or “I will be
late getting home,” which very few were
able to do without hitting pedestrians,
other vehicles or running red lights.
The students also watched a very
graphic video that showed real accidents
and the aftermath for the victims and
interviews with family members. It was
limited to car accidents. A 17-year-old
boy who drank a quart of vodka fell 200
feet — equivalent to three stories — off
the side of an escalator at a mall and onto
a stone floor. The video followed him
through the emergency room into surgery
to relieve the swelling of his brain. The
teen was able to recover from the injuries
but it took several months and having to
relearn how to talk and walk again.
The Arrive Alive Tour travels all over
the United States to high schools and colleges.
Kyle Israel, 18, of Red Oak was the
first student to experience the simulator.
When told to text “Happy Birthday,” he
looked down and killed two pedestrians
crossing the street after typing only two
letters.
A computer also showed what citations
the drivers would have received. Israel
was cited for vehicular manslaughter.
This writer took the drinking and driving simulator test with a blood alcohol
level of 0.11 — well over the legal limit
of .08 — received citations for swerving,
driving below posted speed, driving on
wrong side of the road, failing to stop and
a collision in addition to driving under
the influence.
An Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper
spoke to the students about Oklahoma
House Bill 1965, which goes into effect
Nov. 1 and makes texting while driving
in Oklahoma a primary offense, meaning
an officer can pull over a texting motorist. A previous version made it a secondary offense, meaning the driver had to be
stopped for another infraction before he
or she could be cited for texting.
An accident involving two troopers
earlier this year helped boost legislative
support.
Troopers Nicholas Dees and Keith
Burch were struck by a vehicle Jan. 31
while investigating and accident on Interstate 40 in Seminole County.
Dees died at the scene and Burch was
seriously injured and continues to undergo rehabilitation. The driver of the vehicle reportedly was updating a social
media page at the time of the accident .
Gov. Mary Fallin stated, “The driver of
the vehicle actually didn’t notice the accident on the highway and was so distracted by looking at his phone device that he
never saw it until the impact of the crash
itself.”
In 2013, the last year for which statistics are available, drivers distracted by
electronic devices in Oklahoma were
involved in 14 fatal crashes and 602 injury crashes. Fallin said.
Bedlam blood drive comes to CASC
Oklahoma Blood Institute and Carl Albert State
College encourage all
healthy area residents to
show their Bedlam spirit
and save lives.
Anyone at least 16 years
old who donates Monday
Oct. 26 or 27 can select
from shirts that read, “Bleed
Orange?” or “Bleed Crim-
son?”
The rhetorical questions
are answered with the
encouragement to ‘Prove
It!’ through blood donation.
The blood drive in the
Carl Albert State College
ballroom will occur from
9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. both
days. One OBI donor this
football season will win a
free pair of tickets to the
2015 Bedlam football game
in Stillwater.
A single donation can
save as many as three lives. Oklahoma Blood Institute
exclusively provides every
drop of blood needed by
patients in Eastern Oklahoma Medical Center.

Saluting Dick Tracy and hanging at the library
Saturday was a beautiful
day with many special
events taking place in Poteau
and around the state.
Patrick Lynch had a second “Read and Grow” program, a time to celebrate
our pre-school children and
their amazing potential for
literary development.
While
participants
enjoyed a sit-down brunch,
Linda Lancaster visited with
families regarding their
individual children and their
degree of interest in books
or reading. With the children she shared a reading of
“Chicka Chicka Boom
Boom,” each child receiving their own copy after the
reading, and a second book
as well. Some families
received a sturdy family
book bag for attending at
least two library programs
with and for their young
learners.
Saturday also was an
important day in Pawnee:
Dick Tracy Day.
The birthday of the
“Dick Tracy” cartoon, cre-
ated by Chester Gould was
celebrated by locals and
tourists from afar, complete
with birthday cake, heroes
and villains from the strip
in town for the day and
special events at the Dick
Tracy museum which
showcases one of the largest collections of Dick
Tracy memorabilia in the
world.
Gould, a graduate of
Pawnee High School,
attended Oklahoma A&M
University and graduated
from Northwestern [Oklahoma] University in 1921
and went on to graduate
from Chicago Art Institute
in 1923 and work as a newspaper illustrator.
He was infuriated and
motivated by the criminals
who blatantly committed
crimes and went free, so he
channeled his graphic talent
into creating “Plainclothes
Tracy” comic strip, where
the good guy did get his
man and got him into prison, other appropriate justice
or far beyond what would
Treasure Hunting
Carole Gill
be accepted today: vaporizing, freezing, scalding and
ever more creative destruction of evildoers. The Chicago Tribune purchased the
strip, shortening its title to
“Dick Tracy” and it premiered Oct. 4, 1931. It resonated so much with the public during such an unjust era
and Gould became one the
the best-known Oklahomans
of the next five decades. He
passed the torch — or pen
— to his assistant in 1977.
Gould died in 1985.
Being a certified “oldie,”
I had the pleasure of explaining to a much younger friend
that Dick Tracy, wore a
watch-like device with
capabilities similar to the
one on his wrist here in
2015, but whose primary
function was to apprehend
criminals.
Turning the page, it’s
called passive programing,
but in fact, making PLPL
user friendly for children
and teens with a variety of
fun and educational activities they choose and initiate
themselves makes this community center a great “third
place” or hangout on these
days while school is out or
while evenings are still longer. You will find youngsters reading books and
magazines, exploring on
the computer and playing
board games, possibly
working puzzles or coloring. If you’re wondering
what to do this week, come
to the library. Our regular
programs for children are
not scheduled while Poteau
Schools are closed.
Adult programing this
week includes the Stitchers
Today's Weather
meeting from noon-2 p.m.
today in the community
room.
Next week, reading
books will be front and
center programing again.
Tweens are invited to participate in a discussion of
“Percy Jackson and the
Lightning Thief” by Rick
Riordan at 3:30 p.m. Monday and high school students will enjoy the discussion of “The Young Elites”
by Marie Lu at 4 p.m. Tuesday. Both events will
include after school snacks
and a take-home book offer.
Copies of the books are
available at circulation desk
until gone to those committing to participate.
A third book, Neil
Gaiman’s Newberry Award
and Hugo Award winning
“The Graveyard Book” will
be the center of discussion
for Tweens at 2:30 p.m. Oct.
31. Call (918) 647-4444
with questions. Books
selected by the grant committee represent a wide variety on genres and interests,
encouraging readers to be
aware of different writing
styles and perspectives. All
are popular literature.
Story Circles for our
young children will resume
at 11 a.m. Oct. 20 and 27
Here’s hoping weather
will be perfect for the BalloonFest this weekend. Winnie the Pooh tells us,
“Nobody can be uncheered
with a balloon.”

Guns — stopping
that one person
Would making guns illegal in America eliminate our
American mass murder horror?
Has making marijuana illegal for most of the country
eliminated the use of pot? Has making cocaine and heroin
illegal eliminated the use of these drugs in our country?
Prostitution is illegal in most of America. Is there prostitution in America? If we made cigarettes and alcohol illegal
would this eliminate their usage in America? Murder is illegal
in America but it happens about 40 times a day in our country.
Stealing is illegal but how much shoplifting goes in Wal-Mart
every single day? Making anything illegal does not stop the
activity. By the way, over 1,700 people were killed with knives
in 2010. If we made guns in America illegal, would Mexico suddenly have a new tremendous source of revenue? They disperse drugs throughout America and people buy them and use
them. Can you imagine if we tried to make casino gambling in
this country illegal? Some of the senior adults in this country
would throw a fit. I live about 14 miles from a very big and
active Casino and the senior citizen buses coming and going
are quite amazing. I have spent maybe $20 in my lifetime playing the one arm bandit. It doesn't do a lot for me. I've heard
horror stories of people losing everything in casinos. Yet, while
I don't feel gambling is the best use of my time what business
is it of mine if others want to throw their money away? Except,
it becomes my business when those same people have to fall
back on welfare or society to take care of them. It's none of my business if people want to own guns. It's my
business if they want to walk into a school or my house armed
with intent to kill. I am a second amendment guy. I own some guns. I never
want to point one at somebody unless my family, innocent
people or I are in danger. Some gun control would not hurt our nation. We monitor a
lot of things in this country, and a few checks and balances on
guns would not end the world. For example, we could live with a two-week or even a
30-day waiting period on buying a firearm. Everyone should
fill out paperwork when buying a gun. Showing a government
issued ID and allowing time for a proper background check
would not hurt anybody. We further need a gun sponsored
program in this country. People under 25 years old should have
an approved adult to sign on as their accountability big buddy
until they have reached 25. Adults with criminal records don't
qualify as a sponsor. And yet, this still will not solve the mass
murder problem. More security and more people carrying guns will not
totally stop murder and violence. However, it's time for all
schools to employ more security guards and utilize metal
detectors. College presidents who are making over a half million dollars and professors who are making over $120,000 can
take a small cut so our schools can hire security. The biggest problem we have in America is an evil problem.
Only the darkest of minds and hearts can so randomly execute
the lives of innocent people. If we ever needed a revival of
kindness, love and new hearts it's today. Yet, for the most part
I believe America is filled with good people and good hearts
who would never harm anyone. It only takes that one person to
bring about so much pain and loss of life. We all need to work
together to stop that one insane person wherever that person
appears. POTEAU DAILY NEWS

from reviewing all your
options. Some plans have
adjusted their out-of-pocket
costs and benefit packages
for next year. Shopping
around may save you money
or improve your coverage.
Here are five things to
know as you sort through the
many Medicare health and
drug plans available for
2016.
1. Generally, health and
drug plan premiums will be
stable next year.
Oklahomans in Medicare’s
original fee-for-service program can choose from 24
drug plans with monthly premiums ranging from $18.40
to $163.80 — about the same
premium range as last year.
The average premiums for
basic drug plans will inch up
91 cents to $32.50 per
month.
Oklahomans who prefer
an alternative to the traditional Medicare program
may join a Medicare
Advantage health plan sold
by a private insurer. You can
select from among two to 26
health plans, depending on
where you live in the state.
Most plans include drug coverage. The average premiums
for Medicare Advantage
plans will drop 31 cents to
$32.60 per month.
Look beyond premiums,
though. The only way to
determine the true cost of
your coverage is to consider
other factors like deductibles,
co-payments and coinsurance. Medicare’s website —
www.medicare.gov/find-aplan has the best tool for
helping you narrow your
search for a new health or
drug plan.
2. Check the quality of a
health or drug plan’s service,
too.
To help you identify the
best and worst Medicare
plans in your area, www.
medicare.gov/find-a-plan
will provide star ratings for
each by mid-October. A gold
star will show those plans
with the highest, five-star rating. A warning icon will alert
you to plans that have performed poorly for the past
three years.
Higher-rated plans deliver
a higher level of care, such as
managing chronic conditions
efficiently, screening for and
preventing illnesses and making sure people get muchneeded prescriptions. Higherrated plans also provide better customer service, with
fewer complaints or long
waits for care.
The well-publicized star
ratings have spurred many
Guest Column
Bob Moos
health and drug plans to
improve their performance
over the last several years.
About 65 percent of Medicare
Advantage enrollees are now
in health plans with four or
more stars, a significant
increase from 17 percent in
2009.
3. If you need help comparing health or drug plans,
it’s readily available.
There are four places to
turn for assistance:
1. Visit www.medicare.
gov/find-a-plan to compare
your current coverage with
new health or drug plans. If
you want to make a change,
the website will guide you to
where to enroll in a new
plan.
2. Call Medicare’s help
line at (800) 633-4227 at any
hour and talk with a customer
service representative.
3. Consult your “Medicare
& You 2016” handbook,
which you should have
received in the mail in the
last few weeks. The book
may also be viewed at www.
medicare.gov.
4. Get one-on-one benefits
counseling through your
State Health Insurance
Assistance Program. In
Oklahoma, you may call
(800) 763-2828 for the counselors nearest you.
If you’re on a tight budget,
see whether you can get help
paying for your prescriptions.
If you’re having difficulty
affording medications, you
may qualify for the government’s “extra help” program.
The amount of help depends
on your income and resources. Generally, you’ll pay no
more than $2.95 for each
generic drug and $7.40 for
each brand-name drug in
2016.
To qualify, your annual
income can’t be more than
$17,655 if you’re single or
$23,895 if you’re married.
Also, your resources can’t
exceed $13,640 if you’re
single or $27,250 if you’re
married. Savings and investments count as resources, but
homes, cars and personal
belongings do not.
Thirty-two percent of
Oklahomans with a Medicare
drug plan get extra help. To
apply, visit the Social Security
website, at www.socialsecurity.gov/i1020 or call Social
Security at (800) 772-1213.
5. If you think you’ve
been the victim of a plan’s
deceptive marketing, report
it.
Medicare closely monitors plans’ marketing activities to make sure they comply with the law. No one
should have to put up with
high-pressure sales tactics. If
you believe you’ve been
given incorrect or misleading
information or enrolled in a
drug or health plan without
your consent, and you haven’t
been able to resolve the issue
with the plan, call Medicare
at (800) 633-4227 or send an
email to surveillance@cms.
hhs.gov.
There’s no better time to
check your Medicare coverage. Any changes you make
will take effect on Jan. 1.

Teacher shortage becomes critical
I am convinced from the
information presented at the
first meeting of the Teacher
Shortage Task Force which I
attended that Oklahoma is
facing a near-crisis situation.
The problem is having
enough teachers available so
school districts can select
those with the best skills to
prepare our students for their
next level of learning.
Recent data shows that
we’re losing numerous state
certified and/or current educators to neighboring states.
This is often due to higher
starting salaries, lucrative
signing bonuses and/or sec-
ond retirement programs. It’s
evident that we haven’t
developed programs to compete with any of these areas. On the issue of retirement,
there have been several ideas
proposed as legislation which
would encourage our retirees
to consider coming back into
to our schools while maintaining their retirement, but
the legislature has placed certain restrictions on this process in the form of salary
caps and the amount of time
before one can be considered
for employment in the
schools.
Another problem for the

local districts attempting to

it appears that the district

change based on these contributions. In addition, the
amount of income for each
unit of teaching or responsibility would be negotiated
between the district and
myself. Lastly, we were given data
which definitely caught our
attention. Specifically, we
were told that within a fiveyear period, 40 percent of
those teaching in our state
will have left the profession.
Some of this comes from
our low salary formula, while
others would say that teachers are operating in a lowmorale climate where they’re
seen as the proverbial “redheaded stepchild” in our
economy and society.
This is the absolute opposite of what’s needed when
addressing this problem.
Much of this atmosphere
comes from the legislature,
which has proposed and often
passed laws that promote the
idea that public school teachers are failing to educate students properly and, as such,
do not deserve to be given
the respect that’s needed for
them to stay in this field.
This negative image isn’t
missed by students who
should be encouraged to consider entering post-high
school programs that will
lead them back into the classroom as teachers.
Instead of addressing this
morale problem, we attempt
to see if we can find noncertified teachers through
programs such as alternative
certification, Troops to
Teachers and expand Teach
for Oklahoma site offerings
or recruit teachers from other
states
and
countries.
Alternative or emergency
certification has increased in
the last three years from near
30 to 842 thus far this year. We should compliment
our state superintendent for
putting this task force together and having Dr. Robyn
Miller provide the needed
leadership to direct this study
in a very narrow window to
perhaps impact legislation in
the second session of this
55th Legislature. Ed Cannaday represents

Spiro, Idabel meet tonight in battle of winless District 3A-8 teams
By David Seeley
PDN Sports Editor
When the Spiro Bulldogs (0-6
overall, 0-2 in District 3A-8) entertain the Idabel Warriors (2-4,
0-2) at 7 tonight at McClain Stadium, someone will get their first
district win — and quite likely
keep their playoff hopes alive.
“Just a win would be huge for
us right now,” said Spiro coach
Chris Bunch, whose Bulldogs
lost a 41-12 non-district game
Friday night at Stroud. “We’re
playing with a bunch of young
kids. We’re seeing improvements each week, but everyone
we’re playing has seniors — and
that shows up about the third
or fourth quarter. The kids are
giving everything they’ve got.
They’re not laying down or quitting. As long as you get those
kids to play as hard as they can,
you’ll have a chance.”
However, Bunch is just as
surprised the Warriors also are
winless in district play. In fact,
Idabel is on a four-game losing
streak. The Warriors haven’t
won since beating McCurtain
County rival Broken Bow 44-14
Sept. 11. In district play, they’ve
lost to Stigler (28-26) and to Roland (26-19) last week.
“I tell you they’re good,”
Bunch said. “I don’t understand
why they’re on a losing streak.
They’ve been in every game so
far. They’ve had bad things happen to them.”
The experience factor, the diversity on offense as well as Idabel’s passing attack has Bunch
concerned.
“They’ve got a lot of seniors,”
he said. “They like throwing the
deep passes. We’ve got to stop
their deep passes. You never
know what kind of offense
you’re going to see because
they’ve had different looks in
their last few games. It’s one of
those things where we’re going
to have to be ready for everything.”
Despite the rough season to
this point, if the ’Dogs win out,
there will be another playoff season for them in all likelihood.
“We still have the chance to
make the playoffs, but we just
want to keep getting better,”
Bunch said. “That’s what we’re
looking for right now. If we continue to do that, we’ll be happy.
If we happen to win the game,
then we’ll be happy about that,
too.

Poteau has big district game
tonight with Broken Bow
By David Seeley
PDN Sports Editor
The Poteau Pirates had a happy homecoming Friday night as they routed the
Stilwell Indians 61-12 at Costner Stadium.
“Anytime you win like that, and in that
manner, for homecoming, it’s always a
good feeling,” Poteau coach Forrest Mazey
said. “Our younger kids got some gametime experience in a game like that on
homecoming night. We did what a championship team needed to do. I’m not saying
we’re at 100 percent where we need to be
in that regard, but we took a big step toward that Friday night to put a team away
that we were supposed to beat — and we
did it in a manner that we needed to do it
in. I was very pleased with the effort and
execution. Everything came out according
to plan.”
However, one group of Indians exited
and a new bunch, the Broken Bow Savages (4-2 overall, 2-1 in district play), are
coming to town for a crucial District 4A-4
game for the second-ranked Pirates (6-0,
3-0) at 7:30 tonight at Costner Stadium.
“They’re still very much in the playoff
hunt,” Mazey said. “They only have one
district loss. They’re very much still in the
hunt for a district championship. We have
to take the steps necessary to take care of
them, and take care of our end of business.
We have to have a good game plan, and
we need to get the kids up to par on how
it needs to be executed. So far, so good on
that aspect of it. We still have to take the
steps necessary to progress the way we
need to progress.”
The Savages saw their three-game winning streak snapped Friday night in a 42-7
loss to the Sallisaw Black Diamonds at Memorial Stadium. A new coach has brought
some new wrinkles to the table.
“They’re very physical up front,”
Mazey said. “They’ve pretty much gone
to a slot-T formation, which is a form
of the wing-T type of offense. The new
coach has come up from Texas, and he’s
put some confidence into those kids. We
have to be prepared for a physical game
up front. We can’t let them lull us to sleep
by running the ball, then hit us with some
play-action pass. We can’t go to sleep, but
we also can’t expect them to just give it [a
victory] to us.”
If ever there was a time that the Pirates
needed to be successful in Mazey’s three
key facets of the game, it will be tonight.
“It’s going to come down to those same
three things — third-down [conversion],
red zone [getting points] and turnovers —
big time,” he said. “We’ve been fortunate
in all three of those phases, and we’ve got
to take care of those three [this week to get
a win].”
Editor’s note: Due to not all the LeFlore County high school football teams submitted their Week 6 statistics by press time,
the Week 6 Gridiron Notes Column did not
publish in today’s edition. Look for it in one

Heavener Wolves hit road
tonight to face Roland
By David Seeley
PDN Sports Editor
The Heavener Wolves
are looking to rebound
from Friday night’s crushing 63-6 defeat at home to
the Stigler Panthers as they
travel to meet the Roland
Rangers at 7 tonight.
“We knew it was going
to be a tough game,” Heavener coach Sam Hembree
said. “They came down
and got after us. They had
a good game plan, and they
executed well. They controlled us on both sides of
the ball.”
The Wolves (2-4 overall, 1-2 in Districty 3A-8
play) are going to be the
underdog in their remaining games, due mainly to
the injury bug hitting the
team hard.
“Connor Place and Trey
Grubbs are probably out for
the year,” Hembree said.
“Ashton Wright will be out
for a couple of weeks. We
have some more that may
be back next week. We’re
playing at about 70 percent, but this is giving the
players who haven’t seen
a lot of playing time their
chance. Now that they have
the opportunity, they need
to take advantage of it.
(See WOLVES, Page 6)
First of all, I would
like to congratulate Wister
Schools for having your
boys make it to the Class
A state semifinals and to
your girls for playing Class
A state title — both being
beaten by Binger-Oney’s
teams. Despite the boys
falling by a run and the
girls by two runs, you’re
winners in your community
and county. •••
Now, let me get back to
the sport I love — Poteau
football. We’ve been awaiting
this season ever since the
Class of 2016 started to matriculate through the Poteau
School system. They’ve always been a good offensive
team, but this year with the
new offensive philosophy
under new coach Forrest
Mazey and an offensive
line that’s getting better on
each snap, the Pirates are
reaping the rewards. Toss
in the skill players, and this
team has a great chance to
go extremely deep in the
quest of the gold ball. The Pirates on defense
are improved. The adage
states, “You win games with
offense, but you win championships with defense.”
I’e been very blessed
in my lifetime to see some
great running backs that
have played for Poteau. I
very faintly remember the
great David Rolle. I remember the Irvin brothers,
Jerry Garner, Vic Kidd,
Chris Douglas, Chris Duncan, Dustin Beeson, Kale
Streetman, Terrance Warren, Durfrey Thompson,
Erick and Derrick Warren,
Nik and Nyles McDaniels and late, great Patrick
Lynch. I sure I’m missing a
great back.
How do you compare
greatness? I believe that
Rolle and senior Roger
Barcheers are the two best
running backs that have
worn the red and white, and
have Pirate DNA running
through their soul.
Rolle was an All American who was believed to
have around 5,500 yards
on the ground. I remember Rolle as wearing No.
22, being six-foot tall and
weighing more than 200
pounds, and he had an All
American in John Bowden
blocking for him.
Barcheers on the other
hand has worn Nos. 23
and 3, he stands 5-9 and is
185 pounds of solid muscle. Roger gives credit to
his line and its blocking
for him, and his coaches
Marsh's
Matters
By Jim Marsh
Sports Correspondent
for having faith in him and
who continue to call his
number. He has had three
All-State linemen blocking
for him.
Here is a breakdown of
Roger and his yardage per
year:
Ninth Grade — 1,252
yards. Early in the season, he split time between
the freshman and varsity
teams. He topped the 1,000yard plateau against Broken
Bow in Week 9. His high
game was 224 yards against
Tulsa Rogers. 10th
Grade
—
1,530-yards. He had his
career-low against Durant
as he only managed 34
yards. He topped the 2,000yard mark against Cleveland as he ran for 232 yards
in the opening round of the
Class 4A playoffs. 11th
Grade
—
1,662-yards. He cracked
the 3,000-yard barrier
against Haysville [Kan.]
Campus when he ran for
255. Later in the year, he
toppled the 4,000-yard
goal with a 233-yard game
against Tulsa Central.
12th
Grade
—
1,179-yards, so far. He
eclipsed the 5,000-mark
against the Muldrow Bulldogs. His career high was
341 yards against Tulsa
Metro Christian. He has
rushed for more than 200
yards six times. He should
be around 6,000 yards
when Fort Gibson rolls into
town two weeks from now,
with 7,000 yards a possibility because Roger plays his
best in big games.
It’s thought that Rolle’s
rushing record of 5,500 was
unbreakable and safe, but as
of the Stilwell game Friday
night, Roger passed Rolle
with 5,623 yards so far in
his career.
I’ve heard Roger say
on numerous occasions, “I
could care less about the
yards I gain, I just want
to win. I want to win the
championship.”
I can say in closing, I
vividly remember the great
Roger Barcheers.

Cubs win NL Division Series,
defeat Cardinals in Game 4
CHICAGO (AP) — Joe
Maddon posed for a selfie
on the field with his wife.
Jon Lester sprayed champagne with his young son.
Rocker Eddie Vedder partied on the mound.
For the Chicago Cubs
and their ever-hopeful fans,
this bash was a long time in
the making.
Kyle Schwarber, Anthony Rizzo and Javier Baez
homered and the fresh Cubs
clinched a postseason series
at Wrigley Field for the first
time ever, beating the St.
Louis Cardinals 6-4 Tuesday to win the NL Division
Series in four games.
"This is all just baseball
fantasy, right?" a drenched
chairman Tom Ricketts
said.
Only once since they last
brought home the World
Series in 1908 had the
Cubs won a playoff series
and never before had they
finished off the job at their
century-plus-old ballpark.
But with a raucous, towel-waving crowd jamming
the Friendly Confines, the
North Siders gave generations of fans exactly what
they wanted. And as they
gathered in the pulsating
neighborhood, the lit-up
marquee at Wrigley Field
said it all: Cubs Win.
Even President Barack
Obama — who roots for
Chicago's other team —
got in on the celebration,
tweeting his congratulations and noting "even @
whitesox fans are rooting
for you!"
"I can only imagine what
the next thing is going to
look like," said Lester, the
lefty who twice won the
World Series with Boston.
"And the next thing after
that."
The crowd started roaring before the first pitch.
And when closer Hector
Rondon struck out Stephen
Piscotty on a ball in the dirt
and catcher Miguel Montero made the tag to end it,
the Cubs came streaming
out of the dugout.
"They deserve it," Riz-
zo said in the middle of
the party. "Hopefully, this
is just a taste of what's to
come."
Up-and-comers all season under their first-year
manager, Maddon's bunch
of wild-card Cubs had arrived.
As the music blared and
the strobe lights flashed in
the clubhouse, Cubs players and coaches soaked
each other. Then they took
the celebration back onto
the field as fans went crazy
— Vedder, from the local
area, pitched right in.
The Cubs will face the
winner of the Los Angeles
Dodgers-New York Mets
match-up. The Dodgers
evened the series at 2 with
a 3-1 victory in Game 4
Tuesday night.
Chicago will play Game
1 Saturday on the road.
No team was hotter
down the stretch than Chicago, which finished third
in the majors with 97 wins
after five straight losing
seasons.
Westbrook, Kanter help lead
Thunder past Mavs in Tulsa
TULSA (AP) — Russell Westbrook,
playing parts of the first and third quarters,
scored 19 points in 20 minutes to lead the
Oklahoma City Thunder to a 100-88 preseason victory over the Dallas Mavericks
on Tuesday night at the BOK Center.
Enes Kanter came off the bench to score
17 points and grab 11 rebounds before a
sellout crowd, helping Oklahoma City
treat a sellout crowd of 17,978.
John Jenkins, a free-agent signee, scored
26 points for Dallas on 11-of-18 shooting.
WOLVES
We’ve been preparing them
all week. We just have to
go out and execute.”
The Rangers (5-1, 2-0)
have suffered only one
loss all season, that coming Sept. 11 in a home
14-6 loss to SequoyahTahlequah. Last week in
Idabel, they got past the
Warriors, Spiro’s opponent tonight, by the score
Go
Pirates
Hwy 59 • Poteau, OK
918-647-8284
of 26-19. Most preseason
prognosticators predicted
Roland as perhaps the
team that would win District 3A-8.
“I think it’s going to be
a dogfight between Roland, Stigler and Eufaula,”
Hembree said. “All three
are good football teams.
As beat up as we are, we’re
going to try to sneak up on
Roland.”
The Rangers perhaps
will be the speediest team
the Wolves will have faced
to this point.
“They’re deadly fast,”
Hembree said about the
Rangers. “They have several players who were
on their state track team.
They’re physical up front.
They tackle well. They’re
just a good team.”
Thus, the Wolves will
have to play as close to a
perfect game as possible to
stand a chance to upset the
Rangers.
“Our players are going to have to step up and
make plays,” Hembree
said. “We’re going to have
to get some breaks, and
hope that everything goes
wrong for them. We have
to go play perfect.”

Some say that instant messaging
and email are destroying our language.
The patois of acronyms and emoticons is constantly evolving; text
messaging is becoming a digital
dialect that only those who use it
frequently can understand.
Sure, most of us know what some
of them mean - IMHO, BRB,
TTFN and LOL - but there are new
ones being coined every day, like

HOROSCOPE

Last
Thursday, Oct. 15, 2015
You shouldn't hesitate to travel if it
will help you take advantage of a
lucrative opportunity. Business
conferences, seminars or conventions will offer valuable contacts
and increased prospects. Hard
work, flexibility and determination
will bring you success. Minor
health issues are best dealt with
quickly to avoid setbacks.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Love is on the rise. Participation
in a philanthropic or charitable
event will bring you recognition
and respect from an influential
individual. Highlight your innovative ideas and express your desire
to join forces.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Change is highlighted.
Unanticipated alterations to your
home or property will be beneficial
in the long run. A former friend or
flame will want to reconnect.
Consider the pros and cons before
agreeing.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
-- Travel and communication
delays can be expected. Resist the
urge to make hasty decisions or
unreasonable promises, or you will
find yourself in a vulnerable position.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Finish projects, conclude contracts or finalize deals. Completing
your current plans will show everyone that you mean business, and
leave you free to take advantage of
new opportunities.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Advance preparation will prevent you from becoming overwhelmed by your responsibilities.
Helping others through community
assistance programs or fundraising
will introduce you to a diverse
group of people. Romance is highlighted.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Your reputation will grow if you
make personal changes. Expand
your profile and touch up your
resume in order to give your confidence a boost. Patience will be
needed regarding family matters.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- Fun and entertainment will highlight your day. A close friend or
relative will entice you to try something adventurous. Have a great
time, but avoid taking unnecessary
risks.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- You must be clear about how
much you are willing to do for others. Embarrassment or hurt feelings could result if those around
you expect more than you can
give.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Holding a grudge is pointless
and stressful. You will cause more
harm internally if you harbor ill
will toward others. Treat the issue
as a painful lesson and move on.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Timely information will accompany a chance for a new beginning.
Hesitation will lead to a missed
opportunity. Be prepared to act
quickly when the occasion calls for
it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- Your competitive spirit will give
you an advantage over your rivals.
Others will be impressed by your
skills, enabling you to gain support
and gather good advice.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- You may feel generous, but overindulgence will cause serious problems when your bills arrive. Offer
your time or suggestions, not
money, when someone comes to
you for assistance.

IRL, DBEYR, ICYMI and STBY.
Then there are the emoticons.
Perhaps this is how Chinese characters came to be thousands of
years ago: the first one no more
than a smiley face at the end of an
actual sentence.
Why do we need emoticons?
How did we get along without
them for all these hudreds of years?
It's been a literary deficiency, no
doubt. One can only imagine how
much better Shakespeare would
have been had he been able to use
them.
To be, or not to be? That is the
question. :-(
Et tu, Brute. :[
A rose by any other name would
smell as sweet. :-x
Alas, poor Yorick. :-(
There's no telling how much
emoticons could've punched up
snoozefests like "War and Peace"
and "Oliver Twist."
As with most trends, teenagers
are the driving force behind many
of the new acronyms. But TCPTG
(two can play that game). First,
WDTWSRAT (when did the world
start revolving around teenagers)?
WIOOTTDWGTAVFT (Was I out
of town the day we got together
and voted for that)?
No, it wasn't us, but advertising
agencies who decided that teenagers should run the world. Because
teens have so much "disposable
income," allegedly. Can you really
call the money parents give their
children "income"? "A bribe"
sounds more like it. Except with a
bribe, you expect something in
return. It really sounds like it's PM
(protection money).
And what do they mean by "disposable"? SWDMBD (Since when
did money become disposable)?
When I buy a $600 set of snow
tires, it's not considered disposable, but when a teenager spends
$600 on his car's sound system, it
is. Would somebody please explain
that?
Let's see. I own a car, I own a
house and I spend a ton of money
to keep both of them up and run-
ning. On top of the mortgage,
there's heat, gas, electric and
never-ending maintenance costs.
What little change is left over, I
waste on little extras like food
and medicine. So GWATIMI
(guess who advertisers think is
more important)? Me or the
13-year-old girl next door? Why
is she suddenly an economic
powerhouse, while her parents
are just some schmucks who live
in the same house with her?
Here's why: because she'll probably drop the phone in the bathtub before the contract runs out,
and they'll just buy her another
one. And another one after that.
She'll stop being important the
minute she starts spending her
own money. Because then she'll
take care of the phone.
But guys in advertising
ANASATTTA (are not as smart
as they think they are). If they
were, they wouldn't spend nearly
$2.5 million on a 30-second beer
commercial during the Super
Bowl.
What do they think the football
audience is already drinking?
HACYNHAASBP (Here's a
conversation you'll never hear at
a Super Bowl party):
"Honey, could you get some
more milk for me and the guys?
No, wait a minute - what's this?
A beer commercial? Beer! That's
a great idea, beer and football!
Anybody else want to try one?
I've never thought of having a
beer while watching a football
game before."
I wonder if it wouldn't be more
effective to throw 2.5 million
one-dollar bills out of a blimp
over some big city. Not only
would the beer company get
gobs of publicity, a lot of people
who pick up the money MSIOTP
(might spend it on their product).
Because there's one emoji
everyone understands: $$$.

Math Wars
Poteau first grade students have been
learning how to add in many ways.
One was playing “Addition War” using
a deck of cards. The students decided to
have a “battle” between classes. The
teachers used a bracket system to
determine the champions and runners up.
These finalists advanced to compete in
the “War” to find the first grade addition
champion. The “War” took place Friday.
Both the teachers and the students
thoroughly enjoyed this exciting event to
make learning more fun while increasing
their fluency with addition facts.

Survivor stresses value
of early screening
By Amanda Corbin
PDN Reporter
A
Cameron grandmother of
three is focusing attention on
the importance of early
screening for the detection of breast
cancer.
“The biggest thing is, women
have to stick to the routine, have to
be checked,” said Beth Tucker, 62,
of Cameron. Tucker was diagnosed with breast
cancer in September of 2012. Tucker
said she was diagnosed with ductal
carcinoma in situ and invasive ductal
carcinoma. “Everyone was just shocked to
hear it,” she said.
According to NationalBreastCancer.org, ductal carcinoma occurs
when the cancer is contained inside
the milk duct of the breast, while
ductal carcinoma in situ means the
cancer has began spreading to surrounding tissue.
NationalBreastCancer.org said
invasive ductal carcinoma is the
most common type of breast cancer,
making up 70-80 percent of diagnoses. “Always keep getting your routine checkups,” Tucker urged. “If I
had skipped the check-up ...” Tucker said she underwent a routine MRI and had surgery in November 2012, followed by lymph node
surgery in December.
In January 2013 she began chemotherapy but had to stop due to
complications with her heart and
kidney. Tucker said she still is
undergoing routine mammograms
Beth Tucker, three-year breast cancer survivor, with her son, Jeff,
Tucker, and granddaughter, Jamye Durham.
and MRIs. NationalBreastCancer.org said the
standard recommendation for starting annual mammograms in women
is 40 years old, although Tucker said
she had a neice who developed
breast cancer at 35. “It can happen at any age,” she
said. She also had an aunt develop
breast cancer.
Tucker recently participated in the
LeFlore County Relay for Life in
Poteau and Paint the Park Pink in
Fort Smith, Ark. Tucker said support
is important, and she had great support from her family, husband,
daughter and a sister who visited
from Pennsylania.
She is the mother of Amy Durham from Hackett, Ark., and Jeff
Tucker of Pocola. She also is the
grandmother of Lauren, 20, Brock,
15, and Jayme, 13. Tucker was a
receiving clerk at the Commissary
Little Creek in Virginia while in the
Navy wen she met her husband,
Jerry, a Navy Seabee Vietnam veteran. She was originally from Altoona,
Pa., and Jerry from Cameron. They
married in Oct. 30, 1971, in Elizabeth City, N.C., before returning to
Cameron. MEMBER FDIC
