From the pages of The Ponca City News, Sunday, October 17, 1999 LOCAL DEATHS NEWS BRIEFS LIFESTYLES SPORTS LOCALSuccessful Humane Society Event LettersSuccessful Humane Society EventThe Ponca City Humane Society just completed a successful golf tournament at the Ponca City Country Club. We had 25 enthusiastic teams playing on a beautiful Fall day. The Ponca City Country Club put their best foot forward with extraordinary food and service. Our guest, Coach Eddie Sutton, was proud of the commitment that he witnessed to the Humane Society. Coach Sutton played golf with each team, signed autographs and posed for pictures. Ponca City and the Humane Society was fortunate to have such a distinguished personality here for our event. The proceeds from the event are used to operate the Shelter, to assist in our spay and neuter program, and to educate the public about adopting animals and animal cruelty. On behalf of the Ponca City Humane Society, thank you to all of our sponsors, hole sponsors, players and the Ponca City Country Club. The homeless animals of Ponca City are fortunate to have friends such as you. Come out to the Shelter and adopt an animal. Suzanne Boettcher President, Ponca City Humane Society Let’s Take America Back!God bless America! Let’s take America back! This is by far the greatest country in the whole world! We have enjoyed freedoms like no other people, but we are losing these freedoms one-by-one. We live today in a country where people want to live without shame, without guilt, and without conscience, while they practice every atrocity ... and then somehow pretend that nothing is wrong. Abraham Lincoln believed in this country to the extent that no external threat that involves war could ever bring this country down. But there is something that can ... If we should lose the character and the decent judgment that’s required to sustain our freedom, then we will witness the loss of our liberty. More and more people are abandoning their vocation of citizenship, because they have lost all sense of it’s worth. It seems that Americans ... including the President ... think that freedom means you can do anything you want without responsibility and without consequences. You cannot have government of the people, by the people, and for the people, when the people are no longer willing to care, no longer willing to govern themselves ... and no longer demanding high standards for their leaders and their government. The greatest threat to America lies within it’s own borders ... It’s all the more reason we must re-acquaint Americans ... from our school children to our leaders in Congress ... with the truth of principle found in our Declaration of Independence. America, you are too young to die! The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), is constantly bringing up the big fat lie, “separation of church and state.” Hearing it and seeing it in print thousands of times has convinced people to believe it. Due to Adolph Hitler’s lies of “separation of church and state,” Christians in Germany retreated into the comfortable security of their sanctuaries, they sat in their padded pews, they kept their religion and their politics strictly separate from one another and their nation was destroyed! Statistics have shown over and over again how our nation has deteriorated just since prayer, the Bible and the Ten Commandments were removed from our schools. In a short span of time we have grown to accept the unacceptable and to tolerate the intolerable. God has given us a mandate to act as salt and light in the world. We must recognize that being salt in our society means more than simply voting or becoming politically involved. We must also become involved in defending morality and godliness in our neighborhoods, our schools, and our communities. Stand up for the First Amendment. When atheist groups try to halt such events as student-initiated prayer at graduation exercises or other constitutionally protected religious expression, take a stand for God and for freedom. Don’t be silent! Get involved! May the Lord open our eyes to the endless opportunities that are all around us to be salt and light in this hurting world.

This second collection, entitled “Prairie Impressionist Landscapes,” is presented by the Fairfax Art Association and Artist’s Alliance. Members of the Art Association and Alliance study a variety of artistic styles and then apply the knowledge to their own work. The results are an interesting blending of visions. “The Ponca City Library has developed a real alliance with the Fairfax Art Association, and our patrons are enjoying the results,” said Library Director Holly LaBossiere. “We believe that, by displaying these creations, we are giving the creators an opportunity to showcase their work, while providing inspiration to others.” The show includes a number of interpretive reproductions and original land and skyscapes. Impressionism is a theory of modern art in which dabs or strokes of unmixed color are used to simulate the natural appearance of reflected light in objects. An influential movement in the art world, Impressionism is also popular with the public. Plan to view this collection at the Ponca City Library now through October during regular Library hours. College Night At NOC Set For Oct. 26TONKAWA — Area high schools students and their parents or guardians are invited to the seventh annual College Night hosted by Northern Oklahoma College Tuesday, Oct. 26, according to Sheri Snyder, director of marketing and college relations. Representatives from more than 25 institutions, including two- and four-year private and public Oklahoma and out-of-state colleges, universities and military branches will be on hand from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the East Gym of Foster-Piper Fieldhouse to distribute materials and answer questions about their respective institutions. In addition, representatives from the First National Bank of Oklahoma in Tonkawa will be hand to give advice on funding a college education. Complimentary soft drinks will be served in the fieldhouse lobby to participants. “It's not too soon to start planning for a career,” Snyder said. “College Night will give students a chance to meet and visit with representatives about continuing education beyond their high school years,” she added. Institutions participating include the Art Institute of Dallas, East Central University, Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, Northern Oklahoma College, Northwestern Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma City University, Oklahoma Panhandle State University, OSU/Okmulgee, Oklahoma State University, and Pioneer Technology Center. Also, Southern Nazarene University, Southwestern College in Kansas, Southwestern Oklahoma State University, St. Gregory’s University, University of Central Oklahoma, University of Oklahoma, University of Science/Arts of Oklahoma. In addition, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Air Force ROTC, U.S. Army, U.S. Army National Guard and U.S. Marine Corps. High School Symphony Orchestra Strings Fall Concert Set at PoncanThe Ponca City High School Symphony Orchestra Strings will present a Fall Concert on Tuesday. The program will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the downtown Poncan Theatre. The orchestra is under the direction of Dan P. Larson. Featured at the concert will be the music of Berger, Bach, Dvorak and Williams. The High School Orchestra program has two orchestras this year for a total of 94 string musicians. The concert Tuesday evening features the top orchestra string ensemble. This 42-member organization will open the concert with the energetic “Short Overture” by French composer Jean Berger. Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor” is next on the program. Violinists featured on this selection will be the former Ponca City residents, Jeff and Barbara Gordy Fox. The Fox’s now make their home in Edmond, where Jeff is conductor of the Oklahoma Youth Symphony and Director of Orchestras at Memorial High School and Cimarron Middle School. Barbara is the music coordinator for the Oklahoma City Public Schools and teaches at Northwest Classen High School. She taught in the Ponca City Schools for 18 years and Jeff was the high school and mid-high director for five years. Of all the concerti for violin which J.S. Bach (1685-1750) wrote, only half have been saved. After Bach’s death, his manuscripts were divided between his two eldest sons, Wilhelm and Carl. Only those which came to Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach survived. The popular two-violin “Concerto in d minor” is written in three movements. The two violins are used as a dialogue against each other and the orchestra provides the harmonic and rhythmic background. The Largo, or solo movement, is one of exquisite, poignant beauty, with the solo violins melodic lines. The major work for the evening is “Serenade for Strings in E Major” by Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904). This romantic work was composed in 1875 as an act of relaxation, at a time when Dvorak was content and secure in his life. This is one of his freshest and most enjoyable pieces and was composed in only 11 days. In spirit, the “Serenade” recalls the 18th-Century divertimento in that the moods are light, the proportions balanced, and the forms simple. In spite of this there is much originality in the work. This is a five movement piece, of which four will be performed Tuesday night. These include the moderato 1st movement, the scherzo 3rd movement, the larghetto 4th movement, and the finale allegro. When Dvorak premiered his “Symphony No. 9 (New World Symphony),” this string “Serenade” was included in the concert. Closing the concert will be an exuberant arrangement of famous recent movie titles by Calvin Custer entitled “John Williams Trilogy.” Themes presented in the music are Star Wars (Main Theme and End Credits), Theme from “Jurassic Park” and Raiders March. The public is invited to attend the concert. There will be no admission charge, although donations will be accepted to offset concert expenses. Televised Meetings On Board AgendaBy KRISTI HAYES News Education Editor An agreement with Gordon Thompson and Creative Media Services, Inc. to provide television services for the Ponca City Board of Education meetings will be discussed Monday night at a regular board meeting at 6:30 p.m. Gary Bracken, board attorney, has drafted a proposed agreement with Creative Media Services (CMS). The proposal includes a $500 monthly service fee for equipment and operator costs, with the agreement expiring on June 30, 2000. CMS will provide three cameras, located in the board meeting room, complete with mixing and switch equipment. At least one operator will also be provided by CMS. According to school personnel, the meetings should begin being televised at the November board meeting. Energy Conservation Program A renewal agreement with Energy Education for the continuation of the district’s Energy Conservation Program will be decided. This will be the fourth and final year of an agreement with Energy Management. The contract is from Oct. 1, 1999, to Sept. 30, 2000. For this final year, the district would need to pay $4,300 per month for six months. The remaining balance of $25,800 (for the last six months) would be waived. Energy Education Inc. would receive $25,800 for the six months beginning Oct. 1, 1999, through March 31, 2000, and this would satisfy the terms of the contract. Mike White, Energy Manager, will give a report on the energy savings for the past six months. New Cargo Van Board members will vote to accept the low quote from Bowker Ford for $17,756 for a year 2000 maintenance cargo van. Other dealers submitting quotes were Davis-Moore Dodge and Pemberton Chevrolet. An estimated van purchase price of $18,000 was included in the Maintenance Department’s fiscal year 2000 budget. Other Items A presentation will be made to the October Employee of the Month and Friend of Education Awards.

Deadline For Time Capsule ExtendedBy PATTI PFEIFFER Special to The News Instead of tumbling in they are just trickling in and they want more. So the 1999 Leadership Class has extended the deadline for public contributions to the Millennium Time Capsule. “We want some really unique and exciting things to be placed in this capsule,” Content Committee member Diane Mitchell says. “These items will link this century to the next century and we want those that view them 100 years from now to know we were really special and are seeking items to reflect just that.” For the past few weeks the public has not only been invited but encouraged to submit items for consideration of placement in the capsule. The deadline has now been extended to Nov. 1. for persons to take advantage of the opportunity to become a part of this historical collection of timeless treasures. The Millennium Time Capsule will be buried in Centennial Plaza during a magnificent and memorable celebration at noon on December 31. The capsule will be made of stainless steel, placed inside a 12 gauge steel vault and be buried 6 to 8 feet underneath the plaza. Once it is sealed, buried and covered, a granite marker will identify the exact location of the underground legacy. The capsule and its contents will remain underground until it is uncovered and reopened 100 years later. According to Mitchell there are only two specific requirements that must be met before an item will be considered for placement within the time capsule. All items must pertain only to the year 1999-2000 and be specific to Ponca City. The contents will be selected from different categories including photographs, stamps, programs of community events and newspaper events of local interest. The public is being asked to submit items for several of those categories. Specifically, the content committee is seeking photographs, personal letters, original compositions including poetry and short stories, and clothing such as tee shirts pertaining to local events. In addition, items specific to community events such fliers or programs from church, businesses, clubs, or civic organizations are also being sought as well as sporting events. Any unusual item submitted will also be given consideration. Submitted items must be no larger than the capsule container which will measure 48x22x19. Items can not be returned. Items should be mailed or delivered to the Ponca City Chamber of Commerce, 420 East Grand Avenue. Diabetes Support Group Meets TuesdayKay County Diabetes Support Group will meet on Tuesday, at 7:30 p.m. at the Grand Avenue Church of Christ, 1300 West Grand in Ponca City.

Nearly NewsClasses in Ponca City will be dismissed on Thursday and Friday this week for Fall Break. Classes will resume again on Monday, Oct. 25. Smell of Gunpowder Nice When at Trapshoot EventBy Patti Carmack News Lifestyles Editor The cool, crisp Missouri air resounded with gunshots, but no bodies of animals or fowl littered the ground, only broken bits of orange-colored clay. The smell of gunpowder lingered briefly before the silence was broken by shouted words such as “PULL” and “NOW.” The occasional “ARRRGH” and even an “ARF” could be heard before the gunplay began again. For those of you not familiar with the scenario, the preceding paragraph describes a trapshoot. This particular scene was the Missouri Regional trapshoot held at Linn Creek, Mo. near the Lake of the Ozarks. Several area sportsmen were among the 2,500 participants at the fall event. Men, women and youth of both sexes were eligible for participation in the regional shoot through registration in the Amateur Trapshooting Association. The variety of ethnic backgrounds, states represented, and the number of wheelchair-bound shooters blended into a colorful collage of humanity. Monetary and other prizes were available in different categories for the best shooters; but most had to be satisfied with the experience of shooting in a regional event. Squads of five shooters each found their marks on 60 individual traps. Posed with open and unloaded guns, each squad member waited for his/her turn to shoot. The scorekeeper waits for the word to release the target and this is when the individual expresses his readiness to shoot, either by yelling “pull” or some other sound to indicate target release. There are 25 shots allowed per trap and the squad members rotate the five shooting stations so that all get the same opportunity and angle to shoot at the target, which is dispensed from a low traphouse located 16-27 yards from the shooters’ position. Each shooter has a scorecard average from the year’s events which places him/her in a category division of AA, A, B, C or D, Lady, Jr., Vet, and Sr. Vet. The atmosphere at a large shoot like this one is always fascinating for the onlooker. Just the idea that a pair of jeans can be molded in so many different ways is interesting, as is the variety of shooting attire and headgear worn. The specialty shooting glasses in red or yellow, sunglasses and paper side shields give the shooter an “advantage” depending on the weather; in this case, no help in the heavy morning fog. Camping trailers are side-by-side with RVs in two rows west of the clubhouse for those who want to remain close to each day’s shoot activities. The clubhouse is a busy terminal with new shooters registering, and those finished for the day looking for scores, and still others looking for food and drink. At some shoots bingo and card games are provided for spouses of shooters or those waiting their turn to shoot. A constant movement of people fills the clubhouse and surrounding area as shooters prepare for competition. Gun etiquette is followed carefully and shotguns are always unloaded until entering competition. Laughter rings out as friends greet each other and introduce family or buddies attending the event. The logos on caps, teeshirts, shooting vests and ammo cases proudly carry names like Tucson, Happy Hills Gun Club, Wisconsin, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Illinois, and others. True sportsmen, the participants at these shoots are always willing to loan or give equipment, vests, earplugs, extra ammunition, etc. to a person in need. For those hard-to-find items and trapshooting equipment, vendors are available to sell wares. In this day of shooting wars, needless slaughter of animals and fowl, and anger against gunowners, it is refreshing to view the sporting aspect of shooting. Honing your skill by shooting clay targets is a harmless sport and one greatly enjoyed by a great variety of Americans. The men and women and youngsters, trained in the responsibility of using guns, who participate in trapshooting are to be commended for the professional way they handle firearms. A steady arm, good eye and concern for sportsmanship are only some of the qualifications needed to be a trapshooter. Internet sites give greater detail of the sport as does the official Trap and Field magazine. For people-watchers like myself, the competition was a lot of fun to watch, and with a husband participating in the shoot, it was even more exciting. Classic Car Club Supports UW Agencies“Cruising Grand” may seem a frivolous way to spend time, but not if you’re a member of the Classic Car Club of Ponca City. Their “Cruising Grand” celebration raised enough money for them to donate to Hospice of Ponca City, Domestic Violence of Northern Oklahoma, and other service agencies in town. Over 220 classic cars participated in the event. Vice-President Gary Robinson recently presented the donation to Hospice of Ponca City Administrative Director Melody Lahann. In making the presentation he said what the Club wants the community to know is that the Classic Car Club does more than just restore vehicles. He says it’s a family and community oriented organization and will continue to support the community with fun events and fund raisers to help organizations such as Hospice of Ponca City.

SJRMC Employees Pull Together for United WaySt. Joseph Regional Medical Center employees lived out the Via Christi core value of Community when they pulled together to support the United Way with donations and pledges of over $10,000, and, with corporate matching funds, the total United Way commitment will be over $20,000. Garry England, president and CEO of SJRMC, said “the missions of the agencies supported by the United Way are consistent with the mission of this medical center — from encouraging healthy lifestyles to supporting families to providing healthcare related services. I believe it is important that the Medical Center and its employees support the United Way given the United Way’s support of such worthwhile and complementary (to the Medical Center) services and programs. I am pleased and thankful for the significant additional giving, both in terms of numbers of employees who gave and total amount given, during this 1999-2000 United Way Campaign.” According to Jackie Hunsucker and Kathy Turner, co-coordinators for the SJRMC campaign, “We wanted to have fun while bringing the United Way agencies and the work they do to the attention of our employees. With the hard work of the team leaders and department heads and because of the generosity of both the employees and SJRMC, the dollar amount we are able to donate to the United Way exceeded our greatest expectations. We are proud of the commitment our fellow employees have shown for the community and the United Way.” Activities during the two-week campaign included a kick-off party with door prizes, a United Way Dunk Day that featured SJRMC management team and department heads “taking a plunge” for the United Way, and a contest between teams to meet the “100 Percent Participation Challenge.” The winning team was the Birth and Family Center, and there were many departments within teams who had 100 percent participation. Oklahoma Will Receive Health AwardState Health Commissioner J.R. Nida, M.D., announced today that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have selected Oklahoma as one of 18 states to receive a Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH 2010) award. The awards are a component of CDC’s new initiative, REACH 2010, a demonstration project that targets six health priority areas. These are infant mortality, improving breast and cervical cancer screening and management, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, improving child and/or adult immunization levels and HIV/AIDS. Oklahoma’s project will focus on cardiovascular disease and diabetes among Oklahoma Native Americans. The Oklahoma State Department of Health, Chronic Disease Service will serve as the lead agency and central coordinating organization for the Oklahoma REACH 2010 Native American Coalition to Address Diabetes and Cardiovascular Health. “CDC is committed to the ambitious goal of eliminating the disparities in health status experienced by racial and ethnic minority populations, while continuing the progress we have made in improving the overall health of the American people by the year 2010,” said Dr. Nida. “These awards are part of an initiative to support community-based programs that will reach and serve affected communities.” “The REACH 2010 awards will put funds into the hands of frontline leaders and minority health organizations without delay to build on the progress we’ve already made in reducing racial and ethnic health disparities. With this money, we are helping local communities marshal the resources and fund the programs they need to close the health disparities gap — to the benefit of all,” said Adeline Yerkes, chief of the state health department’s Chronic Disease Service. The Oklahoma Steering Committee has been formed and includes the following: Absentee Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma, the Cheyenne Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma, the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma, the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, the Indian Health Care Resources Center of Tulsa, the Wichita Tribe of Oklahoma, the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma, the University of Oklahoma’s College of Public Health, the Native American Prevention Research Center, the Oklahoma City Area Office of Indian Health Service, the Oklahoma State Department of Health’s Office of Minority Health, and the Oklahoma State Department of Health’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Unit. A total of 32 community coalitions from 18 different states will receive funding nationwide. Grantees will spend the first year planning and developing activities to reduce the level of disparity in one or more of the priority areas. The following year, all of these organizations will compete for funding to implement these plans utilizing clearly defined interventions in a geographically defined minority population. The populations include African American, American Indian, Alaska Native, Hispanic American, Asian American, and Pacific Islander. Volunteers Meet To Determine Present United Way AllocationsIn the final weeks of the 1999-2000 United Way campaign, a group of volunteers are meeting to decide how contributions will be allocated to the 17 member agencies of United Way. The Admissions and Allocation committee is made up of volunteers representing a cross section of the community that are actively concerned with the quality of life in Ponca City. The committee consists of two-thirds community volunteers and one-third United Way board members. These citizens decide which agencies become member agencies and evaluate and recommend funding levels to the United Way Board based on the budgets the agencies submit. They scrutinize budgets and extensive budget request forms, make site visits, talk to agency staff and volunteers, and recommend which agencies should be funded and the level of funding they should receive. Volunteers spend long hours studying each individual agencies’ needs and budget requests, weigh different kinds of services; distribute available funds in the way which seems best for the whole community, and still secure and carry out the needs of the agencies. Although each agency is autonomous with the right to manage its internal affairs, the agencies recognize that total information is essential to the proper understanding of its budget. This recommendation is contingent on sufficient funds raised in the annual campaign. In reviewing a program budget of an agency, committee members consider whether the current programs contribute to the stated agency objectives; question whether programs could be developed at less cost and still accomplish the same objectives; determine if activities or programs require a long-term appraisal as opposed to one or two years; suggest changes in the stated objectives or mission to be more consistent with changes in the community. To qualify for United Way funding, an agency must be a registered non-profit agency (IRS 501 (c)(3)) serving a need in the community and agree to abide by the United Way standards as set by the volunteer board of directors. They must agree to be audited or reviewed by a Certified Public Accountant annually. Those audits/reviews are available to any contributor who wishes to review them. The tax records and financial audits are open to the public. In addition, careful oversight by local volunteers has been United Way’s hallmark for the past 61 years. To this end, agencies are required to submit monthly reports on past month’s expenses when requesting their monthly allocation. “The Admissions and Allocation committee takes on the responsibility to insure the public that when you support United Way of Ponca City, your dollars are spent wisely and efficiently,” said Helene Schwartz, executive director for United Way of Ponca City. “You support a network of local human service agencies and organizations working year-round to bring about positive change in Ponca City.” United Way dollars are at work preventing family violence; combating the spread of drugs and helping those dependent on drugs, building good leaders for tomorrow, impacting the lives of children and adults through sports, leisure and character building activities, providing activities for teens, and elderly in a safe environment, alleviating hunger and homelessness and being there to serve the emergency needs of the community. “Our most important commitment is to the people in our community who need our help,” says Mike Mott, committee chairman. “Citizens can be assured that the funds they contribute to United Way supported agencies are continuing to serve the needs of our children, adults, seniors, struggling families, the unemployed and those with devastating terminal illness.” Others serving on the Admissions and Allocation committee include: Kim Adams, Chester Anderson, Carol Bouldin, Vic Coates, Rev. Kent Dorsey, Steve Kellert, Marc LaBossiere, Sandy Murphy Driggers, Donna Trewitt and Bill Wetzel. SJRMC Physical Therapy Provides Wound Care PlanIn order to serve Kay County’s growing number of patients with acute, traumatic or chronic wounds, the St. Joseph Regional Medical Center Physical Therapy Department offers a comprehensive wound care program which includes complete wound assessments, aggressive treatment and patient education. Current technology, trends and techniques in wound management and the newest and most effective types of topical agents and wound dressings are being utilized by the staff led by Melinda Soto, PT, CWS, a designated Clinical Associate of the American Academy of Wound Management. The department, which is located at the second floor of the hospital, has Hydrosound whirlpools, conventional turbine whirlpools and a newly acquired Low-Boy whirlpool to accommodate half-body to full body immersions. As part of a Joint Commission accredited hospital, the wound care department adheres to strict infection control guidelines to prevent and control the spread of infection among patients. Soto has been a staff physical therapist at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center for the past ten years and has been involved in wound care for most of that time. She is one of the few healthcare professionals in Oklahoma who are board certified by the American Academy of Wound Management as wound care specialists. “There is a great need for quality wound care in our community partly because of our large diabetic population,” Soto said. “We see many wounds that are a result of complications of diabetes.” She adds that the wound care clinic at SJRMC treats other kinds of wounds resulting from circulatory diseases, burns, pressure ulcers, infections and post-surgical wounds. “It is so rewarding to practice in this area of physical therapy because the results of your efforts are so visible. By healing their wound you also enable the person to return to normal activities. That is always the ultimate goal of physical therapy — to return the person to the highest functional capacity.” State-of-the-art equipment and new techniques are used to treat and heal these wounds. According to Soto, there are a lot of new and innovative trends in wound management. The popular belief of allowing the wound to “air-dry” has passed with the proven theory of keeping the wound moist and clean for faster healing. She recently attended the 3rd Annual Wound Care Conference in Las Vegas, Nev. “Wound management has always been a progressive field with clinical advancements being made each year,” she said. “This year’s conference was full of new ideas from research done by pharmaceutical companies and by clinicians like myself. This field has always been successful in being inter-disciplinary, with doctors, nurses, PTs, OTs and dietitians involved in the patient’s care. I have the pleasure of working with great doctors and healthcare professionals in our community.” The Physical Therapy wound care clinic at SJRMC is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. to noon. Appointments can be made by calling the Rehabilitation Services Department at 765-0518. Physician referral or a written prescription from your physician is required. SJRMC Birth, Family Education Gets Program Grant From March of DimesThe Birth and Family Education Dept. at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center recently received a program grant from the March of Dimes, Oklahoma Chapter for a project designed to encourage expectant mothers to breastfeed their babies and support new mothers who are breastfeeding in continuing to do so in the weeks following their baby’s birth. The grant proposal, titled “Breastfeeding is Best Feeding”, was submitted by Sharon Clark, SJRMC Birth and Family Education Coordinator. “The grant funds will help us provide a program of education and support to expectant and new mothers in the Kay county area,” Clark said. “An innovative component of this project will be the use of experienced mothers as peer counselors who will provide information, insight and support for expectant mothers.” Prenatal education workshops about the benefits and how-to’s of breastfeeding will be presented over the coming months. Breastfeeding mothers will receive support through individualized assessment and assistance. After receiving training, peer counselors will be matched with expectant and new mothers who have signed up for the program. Peer counselors will stress the benefits of breastfeeding, try to dispel myths and answer commonly asked questions. All of the contact will be by phone. “This buddy system is very accessible to volunteers who have young children and work inside the home because they can easily work their commitment into their personal routines, and expectant and new mothers can get the information and support they need by just dialing the phone,” Clark said. The March of Dimes Birth Defect Foundation is a voluntary health, non-profit organization. The goal of the March of Dimes is to improve pregnancy outcomes, prevent birth defects and reduce infant mortality and morbidity. MOD encourages the greatest possible amount of breastfeeding, citing research that shows that breastfeeding provides numerous advantages with regard to general health, growth and development of infants, while significantly reducing the risk for a large number of acute and chronic illnesses. “All of these benefits add up to a compelling incentive for the March of Dimes to invest in the education, programs and support that will help more mothers choose to breastfeed and to continue to breastfeed for as long as they wish,” said Stephanie Soucek, Division Director, March of Dimes Birth Defect Foundation, Oklahoma Chapter, North Central Division. “This project most certainly meets those goals. We wish St. Joseph great success and congratulate them in supporting the mission of the March of Dimes.” March of Dimes carries out its mission through the Campaign for Healthier Babies, which funds programs of research, education and community services. Funding for grants comes from contributions to the Western Oklahoma Chapter through MOD fund raising projects such as WalkAmerica. SJRMC has been a consistent sponsor of Kay County WalkAmerica for many years. Women who are interested in participating in the program may call Clark at 580-765-0529 for more information. Pulitzer Prize Winner To Be at Cowley CollegeARKANSAS CITY, Kan. — A new program sponsored by Cowley College feature William Styron, Pulitzer Prize winning author of “Confessions of Nat Turner,” “Sophie’s Choice” and “Darkness Visible: a Memoir of Madness.” Styron will speak on his writing process, success and challenges on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the Robert Brown Theatre, 200 S. 2nd Street. The event is open to the public and there will be a book signing reception following his presentation. Modern Library has designated “Darkness Visible” as “one of the top 100 nonfiction books of the 20th Century.” Styron’s greatest artistic concern has always been substantive. Avoiding the post-modernists’ obsession with technique, Styron holds that “language, character, and narrative are interconnected in an almost inseparable way. The three are trinity.” Describing the conception that helped shape his narrative, Styron observed: “A great book should leave you … slightly exhausted at the end.” In addition to Styron’s keynote presentation, a workshop for writers and would-be writers will be held on Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon and 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Workshops will include the follow presentations: “Get Excited About Writing All Over Again (or the first time)” by Carol Powell of Woodland Park, Colo.; and “Under the Publishers Hat” and “Form Your Own Critique Group” by Laurel Schunk of Wichita, Kan. Schunk is a publisher and author. Schunk’s current work in print includes “Black and Secret Midnight,” “The Voice He Loved,” the Regency mystery “Death in Exile” as well as her first book in the Callie Bagley Gardening Mystery series “Under the Wolf’s Head.” Schunk will present from both the author’s and the publisher’s point-of-view. Powell has been an English professor for a number of years and has recently developed her own consulting/teaching firm. She has published numerous essays and short stories. Among other issues, Powell will explore working out of “the box,” figurative techniques, options in punctuation, theme, being word smart, reading to write. Tickets for Styron’s presentation are $5 for adults and $2.50 for all students with valid student identification. A limited number of complimentary tickets will be distributed through regional high school and college instructors. Tickets are available at the Home National Bank in Arkansas City and Cowley College publicity office or by calling (800) 593-2222 ext. 5208 or 441-5208. Workshop fees are $30 for the day. This includes continental breakfast. Scholarships are available for high school and college students. Call (316) 441-5208 for information, enrollment and tickets. Creative Adventures is part of the Heartland Arts Series and is sponsored in part by friends of the series including the Home National Bank, Kansas Arts Commission, a state agency and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. Les Gilliam Returns Home To The Poncan TheatreLes Gilliam has seen it all lately. In the last couple of months, he has performed from Washington, D.C. to Arizona, and a whole bunch of places in between. Acclaim has followed him everywhere he goes. On Saturday, Oct. 30, he comes back home to perform at the Poncan Theatre. With him onstage will be the outstanding members of the Silverlake Band. JC Broughton, twice a national fiddle champion, will be there. So will Clarence Boyd, Larry Broughton on bass, and Ponca City favorite Don Long on drums. Recently in Michigan, Gilliam performed for the Prairie Village Jamboree, with such stars of the Grand Ol’ Opry as Bill Anderson, Jan Howard, and others. In Willcox, Ariz., he was a mainstay performer in a tribute to the great Rex Allen, performing with such Western legends as Johnny Western and Dale Robertson. In fact, Gilliam received a touching tribute from Rex Allen Jr., who attributes his recent revival to Gilliam. On stage, Allen said to the crowd, “Last year I quit the business. I was tired and worn out.” But he subsequently returned to performing because of the efforts of two men. One was Johnny Western, and “the other fella here gave me such a warm reception that it inspired me to go on.” That other fella, of course, was Les Gilliam. Les will perform this month at the Cowboy Hall of Fame celebration in Penn Square Shopping Mall in Oklahoma City. He has also recently performed at a festival in Ruidoso, N.M., and at Silver Dollar City in Branson. Gilliam also received high praise for his presentation at the prestigious Leadership Oklahoma assembly at the Zink Ranch near Texas. Ralph Ratliff, a local Ponca Citian who has seen Gilliam often, said “it was wonderful. Les was better than ever.” And Jim Giles, a television celebrity for Tulsa’s Channel 6, called Gilliam’s work “the best entertainment I’ve ever experienced.” Gilliam brings his Silverlake band to a homecoming in the Poncan Theatre at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 30. Tickets will sell for $8 in advance or $10 at the door. They are now available at the theatre office at 104 East Grand in downtown Ponca City. The box office is open 1 to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. For information or tickets, patrons may call the theatre at 580-765-0943. Youth Teen Pregnancy Prevention Event Oct. 26“Discussing Women’s Health Issues With Your Young Daughter” is the title of the upcoming health forum sponsored by the Ponca City Alliance for Youth Teen Pregnancy Prevention Taskforce. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 26, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Ponca City Library programming room. Information will be designed to help mothers and their daughters, ages 10 to 14, communicate about the changes young girls go through as they experience adolescence. “Not only are mothers invited to attend with their daughters, but grandmothers, stepmothers, foster parents and women who serve as guardians are invited to attend with the young girls in their care,” said Erika Macy, taskforce chairperson. “This is an opportunity to educate all parties on a variety of issues these young girls face on a daily basis.” Topics to be covered include growth and development during adolescence, postponing sexual involvement, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). In addition to covering the topics listed above, local obstetrician and gynecologist Ron Kreger, M.D., will present a slide show produced by the State of Oklahoma Department of Health about STDs. Information will also be available to help facilitate parent/child communication. Space is still available for those interested in attending this forum. Reservations are requested and must be made by Friday, Oct. 22. Call Michele Jean at 765-2476 for reservations or more information. Two Locals Joining Others in Stage ProductionTULSA — Oklahoma Indian Theatre and Dance Company is gearing up for Native American Heritage Month in November with a stage production of “Black Elk Speaks,” starring Wes Studi of “Dancing With Wolves” and “Geronimo” fame. The production will be performed Monday at the Myriad in Oklahoma City for the National Indian Education Association. Regular production will be at the Brady Theatre in Tulsa Nov. 5, 6, and 7, and again Nov. 12, 13, and 14. Tickets are available for $20, $15 and $10 by calling Brady for reservations at (918) 582-7239. Two Ponca City residents will also be in the play — David Jefferis and Casey Camp-Horinek. David Dillinger Jefferis plays the feature roles of General Custer and Andrew Jackson as well as other white settlers of the west. Jefferis is best known to Ponca Citians as a WBBZ radio personality and for his performances in over 25 Ponca Playhouse productions including “Oklahoma!” “Guilty Conscience,” and “Wait Until Dark.” He also recently completed filming a role in the Oklahoma produced film “The Confessional” to be released in the spring. He helped with the movie “Twister” and was a guest artist with Northern Oklahoma College production of “Amadeus.” Casey Camp-Horinek, a native of White Eagle, will play the part of Yellow Woman. She received an Emmy nominee for her work in the ABC mini-series “Son of Morning Star” in which she researched and showed the differences between hair styles of the five tribes that participated in the Battle of Little Big Horn. She has recently attended a workshop at Sundance Institute in Utah as an actress-advisor where she played the role as Grandmother in “The Silent Raven,” written and directed by Princess Peter-Raboff. Wes Studi, a full blood Cherokee and former Oklahoma resident, will portray Black Elk. Larry Seller, starring in television’s “Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman,” is a Wajaje (Osage), Cherokee and Lakota Indian and portrays Black Kettle. The cast, numbering over 20, is 97 percent Native American, and many will be playing two or three characters. Indians will be portraying both Indian and non-Indian roles. Costumes have been specifically designed for this production and its cast, and an interpreter was brought in for the translation of the traditional songs that will be used. “Black Elk Speaks” was written after John G. Neihardt met the Oglala Sioux in 1930. Black Elk shared a vision from his childhood, showing his power vision. Neihardt recognized that Black Elk was a holy man and a prophet even though Black Elk made no claims to wisdom or prophetic sights. He spoke of the broken “hoop” of his people and the tragedies of battles — Custer, Wounded knee, Sand Creek and others. He witnessed many atrocities in he his life and carried the burden of his visions. Although almost unnoticed and unrecognized until discovered by Carl Jung, a psychologist, it was released in paperback in 1961 and was hailed as a classic by 1971. It is now revered as the Indian’s bible, teaching that all humans are equal and to respect life and mother earth. Renowned Musician Will Be in Arkansas CityARKANSAS CITY, Kan. — Grammy-nominated, renowned pop music singer-songwriter Don McLean will perform at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 30, in W.S. Scott Auditorium at Cowley College in Arkansas City. McLean is best known for his song “American Pie” that held the No. 1 position on the pop music charts for four weeks and remained on the chart for 17 weeks in 1971. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. There is no reserve seating. Tickets are available at the Humanities Office in the Brown Center for Arts, Sciences and Technology at Cowley, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, call (316) 441-5275. For tickets, call (800) 593-2222 ext. 5367 or 441-5367. McLean captivates audiences with songs like “American Pie,” “Starry, Starry Night,” “And I Love You So,” “Crying,” “Killing Me Softly,” and “Castles in the Air.” McLean will perform with the Winfield Regional Symphony as well as his band, Tony Miglior, piano; Ralph Childs, bass; and Jerry Kroon, drums. In the 34th year of his recording career, McLean remains among the most popular singer-songwriters in pop music history. The year 2001 will mark the 30th anniversary of his “American Pie,” the eight-minute plus song heralding the end of a musical era. McLean’s lyrics were analyzed first on radio and television and then around the world. His follow-up single, “Vincent,” McLean’s tribute to Vincent Van Gogh, actually became a bigger international his than “American Pie” and still plays daily at Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum. For the past 30 years, McLean has performed “America Pie” at each of his concerts. “I am very proud of ‘America Pie’ and the many satellites that grow from it and revolve around it,” he says. “For many years I carried my songs around, and now they carry me around. I have always sung ‘America Pie’ for my audience and would never think of disappointing them since it is they who have given me a wonderful life and untold affection for 30 years.” “It’s very exciting to bring internationally known musicians to this area and to break into areas we’ve never been before,” said Gary Gackstatter, director of instrumental music at Cowley College and director of the Winfield Regional Symphony. “We’re really excited about this. McLean is one of, if not the, foremost songwriters of all time. His music receives as much radio play today as it did when it came out. He has one of the top-selling songs of all time. It is an honor to have him here to perform. These days McLean can be found in the recording studio working on several new projects, including a new album of McLean originals, a children’s album, and a Marty Robbins tribute, “Don McLean Sings Marty Robbins.” he also continues to perform around the country and is planning a “Don McLean, American Troubadour” PBS music special expected to air the first half of 2000. He also is writing the title song for a Broadway musical based on the life of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Recently referred to by Garth Brooks as his “idol,” McLean appeared as a special guest during Brooks’ Central Park concert in New York City, and closed the concert with a performance of “American Pie.” Free Workshop In Storytelling Set for TulsaStoryTelling 101, a free workshop being offered by the Territory Tellers, is scheduled for Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to noon for all who wish to learn how to develop and tell personal stories.

Jim Thomas has returned from the North American Corriente Association National Show in Gillette, Wyo., which was held Sept. 22-25. In the performance class of bulldogging, Thomas’ steers claimed first, second, third and fourth place — not bad considering he only took four steers. In the team roping class, his steers claimed third, fourth and a fifth place. As a result of the superior performance of his stock, one of his steers claimed the National Champion prize in the all-around class at this event. That steer placed in both the team roping and bulldogging events to win the top award. Over 200 exhibitors from the United States, Canada and Mexico participated in this show. Thomas has 30 head of registered steers which he works with and trains for rodeo events such as the North American Corriente Association National Show from which he just returned. Thomas’ business associates are Norman and Doug Hazelbaker of Redfield, Kan. Thomas works with the steers in his roping arena north of Ponca City. The steers are judged in the team roping competitions by how straight they run, how they handle when roped and when they hop (referring to their hind leg action). In the bulldogging event they are judged by how straight they run and how they throw down (referring to the head action of the steer). Thomas is humble when it comes to discussing his success. When asked how he trains steers, his simple reply, with a slight shrug of his cowboy shoulders, is "You just teach ‘em. How you treat ‘em (the steers) when you rope ‘em," explains the superior performance of his steers. The steers are ready for training when they are 10-11 months old. When asked whether the size of roping and bulldogging steers matters to rodeo competitors, Thomas relays "cattle never get too big to rope as long as they drag off good." Thomas also has 20 registered cows on his land with calves on the ground and new ones expected in the spring. His current stock of 30 steers will be sold this winter, and Thomas will train the new stock. Thomas calls this a "hobby" as his day job is ranch foreman at the Red Rock Ranch in Marland. Thomas’ National Champion prize steer looks forward to the good life as a result of his superior performance in September. The steer will be turned out to lush pastures at the Hazelbaker ranch in Kansas. As for Thomas, he’ll keep training steers, working toward another national champion. Lookin’ With LouIt Should Be The Law…By LOUISE ABERCROMBIE News Staff Writer It should be the law — that whoever does not return the household flashlight to its normal lodging place deserves the consequences. One such case in point is that the certain guilty party had to crawl around in the dark looking for the sewer leak that had taken up residence in the washing machine. Similar punishment is long overdue for the offender who robs the flashlight for batteries. They should be made to crawl around on their knees hunting candles during a electrical power outage. Tissue IssueIt should be the law — that places of commercial enterprise, which furnish restrooms — such as restaurants — should be required to have regular TPI’s (toilet paper inspections) to test the thickness of toilet tissue to meet minimum sanitation criteria. Being required by the present law to have a restroom at an eatery is great. But the standards should also specific the tissue should be more than one-ply thick. Some of the stuff is so thin it could be used to read through, or as one of those fancy wedding invitations. And another thing, standards should be set about the height of the toilet paper dispenser. Why couldn’t it be within easy arm’s reach of the average person? Instead, it is either so low one has to be an acrobat to reach it or so high a step ladder is needed. Carrying a two-step ladder just for a “potty break” seems to be unreasonable and carrying a roll of tissue in one’s purse or brief case could be a bit awkward. But then again, why doesn’t some enterprising soul market toilet tissue in an easy-to-carry tastefully monogrammed leather box. I see the slogan now — “Never Leave Home Without it.” (My editor tells me this slogan is already copyrighted). Fishing LuresIt should be the law — that every fisherman be obligated to buy an underwater throw-away camera (less than ten bucks) before being issued a fishing license, therefore solving the problem of proving an exceptional catch. Here again is an opportunity for the inventor to configure a fishing rod with a built in camera that flashes on a big catch. The camera could be triggered by a sound bite such as the whooping and hollering (Hey Ethel look at this!) of the fisher person. Instantly computerized data from the “Fishy Tales of World Records” (contained in the reel) would determine if the fish is worth photographing. Course, a manual override would allow the fisher to enlarge the specimen on the spot for bragging rights. Just in case the fancy electronics malfunction, think how handy it would be to have the licensed throwaway camera.

Ponca City Medical MinutesA family practice physician at the Urgent Care Clinic, 1715 North Fifth, Dr. Karen Adams graduated from Washington University and completed her residency in Tulsa. She is board certified in family practice. A resident of Ponca City since 1987, she and her husband, Will, a chemical engineer at Conoco, have three sons, ages 12, 10 and 3. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month, and as a service to readers, Dr. Karen Adams has written this brief outline on breast cancer and how to perform self breast examinations. Who Is At Risk For Breast Cancer?Breast cancer is second only to lung cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths among American women, and is the leading cause of cancer death among women aged 40 to 55. The most important risk factor for developing breast cancer is advancing age. The incidence of breast cancer increases exponentially after menopause with the risk of developing breast cancer at 1 in 8 for women 80 years of age. Family history of breast cancer in a first-degree relative (mother, sister, or daughter) is also an important risk factor. Women with both a sister and mother with breast cancer, a relative who develops breast cancer before age 50, or a family history of bilateral breast cancer are especially at risk. However, 75 percent of breast cancers develop in women with no family history of breast cancer. Some minor risk factors include early onset of periods (before age 11) or late menopause (after age 55), late or no pregnancy, exposure to radiation, and racial differences. How Can We Reduce Breast Cancer?Since we don't know what causes breast cancer, the only way to reduce mortality from breast cancer is early detection. We can detect breast cancers mainly by self-examinations (BSE), yearly breast examination by a health care professional, and by mammogram. Who Should Have A Mammogram?Although there is some controversy about how often women should have mammograms, the current recommendation from the American Cancer Society is a baseline mammogram between the ages of 35 and 40, and yearly after the age of 40. Mammograms can pick up breast cancers as much as a year before they can be felt, and breast cancer picked up on mammogram are much less likely to have already spread. However, mammograms can miss up to 10 percent of breast cancers, so it cannot replace breast self exams and exams by health professionals. How Do You Do A Breast Self Exam?Breast exams should be done once a month starting at the age of 20. The best time to do a breast exam is the week following a period, since the breast changes through the cycle and this is the time when they are least swollen. You should check your breasts while standing in front of a mirror, looking for any dimpling of the skin, changes in the nipple or redness or swelling. Check each breast for anything unusual. Take your time and check again for any changes in the size and contour of your breasts. Look for any changes in size, shape discoloration. Use the top third of your fingers and press firmly. Most women choose a circular motion during examination, but any method can be used as long as the whole breast is covered. A firm ridge in the lower curve of the breast is normal. Many women fear that they are not doing it right, or don't know what they are feeling. However, if it is done on a regular basis, the woman gets to know how her breasts normally feel and will be able to detect any change. Breast exams can also be done in the shower . For more information on breast self exams, pamphlets are available from physician offices, St. Joseph Cancer Center, the Kay County Health Department, or on the Internet at www.cancer.org. Traci Myers, Russell Gentry Wed in Outdoor CeremonyTraci S. Myers and Russell E. Gentry were united in marriage on Sept. 18 in Paradise Valley at Roaring River State Park Cassville, Mo.

The ringbearer was Brady Gentry of Ponca City, nephew of the bridegroom. He carried a white satin pillow decorated with satin ribbon and a tulle bow. Each of the couple’s mothers carried a pale pink Anna rose tied with white satin-trimmed ribbon. Matron of Honor, Ginger Tabor of Pryor, wore a midnight blue designer gown. The ankle-length sleeveless dress was styled with a jewel neckline. She carried a bouquet of pale pink Anna roses, white lilies, pink and white carnations, and white daisies accented with sprigs of baby’s breath, English ivy and plumosa fern. The other bridal attendant was Benjamin De La Paz of Edison, N.J. Paul Shrum of North Dakota served as Best Man, and Bob Gentry of Tonkawa, father of the bridegroom, was the groomsman.

The bridegroom’s brother, Rob Gentry of Oklahoma City, played guitar and sang “I Will Be Here” by Steven Curtis Chapman. The bride wore a white designer gown fashioned with a sweetheart neckline, spaghetti straps and an A-line bodice. The gown was complemented by a bolero with cap sleeves and cloth-covered buttons down the back. The jacket and chapel-length train were both trimmed in Battenberg lace with windowpane cutouts enhanced with pearls and iridescents. The bride wore an illusion veil hemmed with rolled satin. She carried a bouquet of cascading pale pink Anna roses, lilies, white daisies, baby’s breath, English ivy, plumosa fern and bear grass. Following tradition, the bride also carried a white Bible given to her by her grandparents and covered with the same lace Bible cover carried by her mother in her wedding. In one of her slippers, she carried a sixpence given to her by her mother. The bride and groom were escorted by horse-drawn carriage from the ceremony to the reception at the Roaring River Lodge. The dinner guests were given a floral print picture frame with the couple’s names and wedding date inside to remember the event. The wedding cake was a two-tiered white cake with ivory icing. The cake was overlaid with sotos and had double draping on the sides. It was decorated with fresh flowers and ivy matching the bride’s bouquet. The tables were decorated with the bride’s and attendants’ bouquets, along with the Bible carried by the bride, and a floral centerpiece matching the bridal bouquet. For the toast, the couple used engraved pewter champagne glasses given to them by the bride’s mother. Serving as wedding coordinator and reception hostess was Kristin Kennedy of Albuquerque, N.M. Don Tabor of Pryor, and Kris Kever of Tulsa, video taped the event. The couple will reside in Tulsa, where the bride is a Registered Nurse in Cardiac intensive Care at Saint Francis Hospital, and the bridegroom is an Environmental Specialist and Safety Coordinator at Combustion and Environmental Testing Consultants (CETCON).

Kiwanis Learn About Moldova Orphanage Service OpportunityThe Kiwanis Club heard from Debbie Herron that “400 children, ages 4 to 18, need our help.” Paula Coppock, president, read a letter from Herron requesting help to provide mittens and other warm essential children’s clothes for Mrs. Herron to deliver to the orphanage on her next trip to Chisneau, Moldova, in late November. “Moldova is a small and very poor country right next to Romania, “ wrote Mrs. Herron. She also said “I am asking for your help with a donation, first of new mittens, and then, perhaps, other new articles of children’s winter clothing or even a monetary gift.” “Young Children Priority One” is a prominent slogan of the Kiwanis International service organization. While supporting needs in local communities is the primary role of each Kiwanis club, worldwide needs are also met when possible. Don Long explained the role of Inter-Club visits to the newer members of Kiwanis. “Our district has nine other clubs, besides Ponca City, and we try to visit all of them at least once a year. Arnett, Woodward, Okeene, Alva, Enid, and Blackwell each have one club and Stillwater has three Kiwanis clubs,” explained Long. He will have a schedule and sign up sheet at the next meeting and encourages each member to plan to make at least one trip. In his closing remarks, Don said that “a trip provides a chance to visit and get better acquainted with the others and get new ideas for our local club at the same time,” “How does Ponca City benefit from having a Kiwanis Club?” questioned Paula Coppock, president, and Chuck Rager, former Lieutenant Governor, as they took the club through a Club Analysis brainstorming session. Club members identified scholarships to college and Boys and Girls State, as well as volunteering at Friendship Feast and the Festival of Angels. Other activities mentioned included bringing a circus to town, the Head Lice Prevention program, and participating in the Worldwide Service Project to rid the world of Iodine Deficiency Disorder. The personal benefits individuals receive from belonging to an international service organization were even easier to list, said members. They listed “friendships with many you might not meet otherwise, a vehicle to use and expand your personal talents, and ways to serve locally and internationally to make a difference.” One of the Seven Objects of Kiwanis is to provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities. Joining the Kiwanis Club were Irene Czaplinski and Fran Long. Men and women interested in community service are welcome to visit a meeting on Tuesday, noon to 1 p.m., at either E.W.’s or the Caucus Room at the Marland Estate. Sara Beth McKinney Weds Paul Allan Block in TexasThe Dora Lee Langden Concert Hall in Granbury, Texas, was the setting for the Oct. 2, 1999, wedding of former Ponca City resident Sara Beth McKinney and Paul Allan Block. Their double-ring vows were solemnized in a 2 p.m. ceremony by Dr. Charles Somervill. Parents of the bride are Clyde and Margaret Findley of Iowa, La., and Dr. Charles M. McKinney of Durant. The bridegroom is the son of Phillip and Wanda Block of Arlington, Texas. The musical program presented by John Melton, pianist, and cousin of the bride, included “Clair de Lune” by DeBussy, “Dance of the Blessed Spirits” by Gluck, “Canon in D” by Pachelbel, “The Bridal Chorus” by Wagner, and Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March.” Jessica Dodson, cousin of the bride, sang “Ave Maria” by Schubert and “The Lord’s Prayer.” Brock McKinney was a reader, and Barlo Brown read a poem written by the bridegroom. Ashley McKnight attended the guest book. Sarah J. Ritchie of Laurenceville, N.J., a former resident of Ponca City, was the Matron of Honor, and bridesmaids were Judith E. Riedt and Angela L. Evans, both of Arlington, Texas. Each was attired in a Victorian-styled amethyst-colored gown. Douglas Nickerson of Plano, Texas, served as Best Man, and groomsmen were David Wickersham of Grand Prairie, Texas, and Douglas Hyde of Overland Park, Kan.

Program Emphasis Imagine living with pain every hour of every day, never getting a restful night’s sleep. Although millions deal with it daily, very few know the reason why. It is called fibromyalgia (pronounced: Fi-bro-my-aljah)/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and it robs people of a normal life, making even the smallest of daily tasks unbearably painful said Moeller. At it’s worst, fibromyalgia can be completely debilitating. Clinically speaking, fibromyalgia’s been in existence since 1904, yet only about 7 percent of the population has been diagnosed. Many doctors are saying it is now in epidemic stages. In years past, most patients were treated as if the pain was only in their heads. That’s changing. The pain and symptoms are very real, and it is very hard for those who haven’t experienced it to understand how it can consume even the strongest person’s whole being, said Moeller. There is no known cure. Researchers do not know the causes of it, but it tends to manifest itself after a major trauma — physical or mental. The symptoms are many, and include pain/achiness in many or most parts of the body, low energy/often tired, difficulty falling asleep, sleep disturbance, poor muscle tone, headaches, high/low blood pressure, allergies, muscle spasms or twitches, easily bruised, craving of sweets/salty foods, moods of depression. A lifestyle change is often indicated says Moeller, and includes the areas of food/nutrition, sleep, exercise and emotional support from family and friends.

SPORTSWildcats Stumble Despite Enid Gifts Wildcats Stumble Despite Enid GiftsBy FRED HILTON News Sports Editor ENID — The Wildcats won the battle of fumble but couldn’t take advantage of six Enid turnovers and lost a 34-0 decision to the Plainsmen here Friday night. Ponca City recovered five Enid fumbles and had one pass interception but couldn’t solve the Plainsmen’s defense. On the other hand, the Wildcats lost two fumbles and Enid used both to score points. On a night when the ball needed a handle, Enid used a strong running game and a new-found passing attack to post its first win of the season. The Plainsmen scored their first passing touchdown of the year in the second period and liked the feeling so well they did it two more times in the second half to drop the Wildcats to 1-6 overall and 0-4 in District 6A-3. The Cats were shutout for the second week in a row and for the third time this season. Enid, which had turned the ball over 20 times in its first six games, fumbled on the third play of the game and Mark Goddard recovered for the Wildcats at the Enid 46. But the Poncans couldn’t get a first down and had to punt, pinning Enid at its own 15. The Plainsmen ground it out to midfield but fumbled a snap with Goddard recovering again. This time the Cats did move the ball, taking five plays to reach the Enid 17. But quarterback Kyle Henderson was hit by a blitzing linebacker and fumbled to thwart that scoring chance. That was as close as the Wildcats would get the rest of the night. Realizing they had dodged a bullet, the Plainsmen promptly drove 74 yards in 13 plays with running back Ryan Few scoring from the one-yard stripe. Three plays after the ensuing kickoff, the Wildcats fumbled a pitch out and Enid recovered at the Ponca City 24. This time the Plainsmen needed just one play as quarterback Jon Lamerton lifted a pass to wide out Cer Edwards, who had gotten past the Wildcat secondary. Spurred by a 39 yard run by tailback Micah Johnson, who broke three tackles along the way, the Cats drove to the Enid 20 but came up dry when a fourth-down pass fell incomplete under a tremendous Enid rush. The Poncans ended a late first-half threat by Enid when Scott Steichen picked off a tipped Enid pass. Late in the third period, Enid got a lucky bounce — literally. Enid had driven to the Wildcat 15 when a Plainsmen pitch was short. However, the ball bounced right to running back Drew Smith who found no one at home on the right side to collect the Plainsmen’s third TD of the night. Enid opened it up in the fourth quarter with Lamerton throwing and 8-yard touchdown pass to Edwards (who had six catches for 87 yards) and later a 23-yarder to Chad Duke. That final touchdown was set up when the Cats got a high snap from center on a punt attempt and the Plainsmen took over at the Ponca City 11. Lamerton was sacked for a 7-yard loss and the Plainsmen were flagged for illegal procedure before Lamerton found Duke across the middle. In addition to the pair of fumble recoveries by Goddard, Josh Young, Derek Jump and Wes Crosson each fell on Enid loose balls. In addition to his interception, Steichen also caught five passes from Henderson fore 29 yards.. Po-Hi coach Rusty Benson found some bright spots in the Wildcats’ play. “Micah Johnson (48-yards on 15 carries) ran very hard, breaking tackles; Kyle Henderson played very well on defense, too; and Brett Skaggs showed a marked improvement in his punting,” the coach said. The Wildcats will have a short week, playing host to Sand Springs on Thursday. The Sandites surprised Edmond Memorial 21-6 on Thursday to move to 2-2 in the district, 3-4 overall.

Tonkawa expected a battle from Barnsdall, which was also unbeaten and had allowed just 13 points in their previous six games. The Bucs got it in the first half, A freaky fumble recovery and 90-yard return by Barnsdall’s Eric Sofian gave the Panthers a 26-22 lead just seconds before halftime. But that didn’t last long, Klufa scored his third touchdown of the night from 2 yards out after a Barnsdall turnover to put Tonkawa ahead to stay. Tonkawa scored 43 unanswered points in the second half before the Panthers scored in the final minutes after the game was out of reach. “They were throwing the ball a lot,” Tonkawa coach Steve Love said of the first half, “and got the big plays. We started bringing pressure on their quarterback, stunting more, in the second half. We sacked him a couple of times and had a couple of interceptions. “Jake Tautfest had an interception that set up one score and Klufa returned an interception 42 yards for a touchdown.” In addition to touchdown runs of 16, 29, 2 and 20 yards, along with the interception, Klufa also scored on a 65 yard punt return. He had 195 yards on 26 carries. Kolby Simpson had 140 yards on 13 carries , including a 64-yard TD sprint. Simpson got the Bucs rolling in the first period when he blocked a Barnsdall field goal try and returned the ball 60 yards for the first touchdown of the game. Klufa’s 16-yard TD gave the Bucs a 14-0 lead before Barnsdall came back through the air. Panthers’ quarterback Will McCauley, connected with Sofian on touchdowns of 38 and 30 yards to keep Barnsdall close. McCauley hit 11-of-14 passes for 255 yards in the game. But the Panthers had only 47 yards on the ground in the game while Tonkawa rushed for 387 yards. Quarterback McCain Brown got in on the TD act with a 7-yard score. Coach Love said the Bucs’ pressure not only caused several Barnsdall turnovers, it also took its toll physically. “I think they were tiring in the second half,” Love said. “We were in better shape and just wore them down. “This puts us in pretty good shape in the district,” the coach said. “We’ve got Wellston at home Thursday, we’ve off the ninth and finish at Woodland. We can’t take anything for granted, but we’re where we need to be.” Tonkawa 65, Barnsdall 32 Tonkawa 8 14 29 14 — 65 Barnsdall 6 20 0 6 — 32 Scoring Tonkawa — Simpson, 60 blocked field goal return; Simpson run Barnsdall — Eaves, 1 run; run failed Tonkawa — Klufa, 16 run; Klufa run Barnsdall — Sofian, 36 pass frm McCauley; Nelson kick Tonkawa — Klufa, 29 run; pass failed Barnsdall — Sofian, 30 pass from McCauley; Nelson kick Barnsdall — Sofian, 90 fumble return; run failed Tonkawa — Klufa, 2 run; Burris run Tonkawa — Simpson, 64 run; run failed Tonkawa — Klufa, 20 run; Simson run Tonkawa — Klufa, 42 interception return; Klufa kick Tonkawa — Brown, 4 run; Robinson kick Tonkawa — Klufa, 65 punt return; Robinson kcik Sofian — 16 pass from McCauley; kick failed Statistics Tonk.
