While Kingfisher, Cash-ion, Crescent and Hen-nessey are hoping for deep runs into the playoffs, the three non-football schools in the Times & Free Press coverage area are on the doorstep of another season.

Basketball season is officially here for Dover, Okarche and Lomega.

Well, on Friday, that is. And just for two of them.

According to OSSAA rules, non-football schools can officially begin their basketball seasons on Nov. 1 of each year. Since that falls on Wednesday, most schools will wait until Friday, a tra-ditional high school basket-ball day in Oklahoma.

Longtime rivals Dover and Lomega once again begin their seasons against one another at Dover.

Girls tipoff is set for 6:30 p.m. with the boys’ game to follow.

The Dover boys are com-ing off a 4-16 season in coach Kyle Bengs’ first season. Unlike the previous handful of coaches for the program, though, Bengs is returning for a second year.

Lomega is coming off a 22-9 campaign in which the Raiders fell one game shy of reaching the Class B state tournament.

The two girls’ programs are currently at the opposite ends of the spectrum.

Dover’s girls - once the juggernauts of Class B - have gone two full seasons with-out a win.

The Lady Longhorns last won a game in 2014, though coach Byron Randle expects this year’s squad to eventually put an end to that streak.

Lomega, meanwhile, has

reclaimed its spot as the most successful girls pro-gram in Oklahoma.

Though they were upset by Kremlin-Hillsdale in last year’s state championship game, the Lady Raiders have still been to the Class B finals three years in a row.

This year’s team will be among the favorites to get right back.

Lomega will return home Tuesday, Nov. 7, to host its other county rival - Okarche.

That will be the opener for the Okarche squads.

The Warriors are coming off a 23-6 season that ended in the Class A area consola-tion semifinals. Coach Ray West’s squad hasn’t been to state since reaching the semifinals in 2012.

As for the Okarche girls…it’s a new era.

For the first time since the 2001 season, Cherie Myers won’t be on the Lady Warriors’ bench.

Kelli Jennings takes over

a Lady Warriors’ program that has reached the final four of the last five years, including last year’s Class A runner-up finish.

Jennings spent the last three seasons at Oklahoma Bible Academy in Enid. Prior to that, she was at Cashion for one year.

Okarche’s home opener will be Friday, Nov. 10 against Dover.

After opening with Lomega, Dover travels to Calumet on Saturday.

Thank you, Father, and mother for this day. Thank you for watching over our president and nation. Thank you for blessing America. And all on Earth.

Father, we have good peo-ple in America. More good than bad. We are people of a lie. Darkness has covered the earth over 1,500 years.

The elite reptiles’ blood-lines have controlled the earth. Today they control the banks of the earth. They hoard their wealth to make the world suffer. They bribe world leaders.

They cause wars for their profit. They have sacrificed over 40,000 children to Sa-tan’s reptiles who live below the earth.

Our government made a bad deal with the reptile. To give us high-tech UFO technology for our children to eat. Too much innocent blood.

People are unaware, still live in darkness.

The beast is a system of slavery. To keep man in fear. To make man forget our DNA to our Heavenly Father who created all.

We are one with the creator always. Darkness hates light.

Father, when our citizens suffer in Puerto Rico, all Americans suffer. We have the high-tech for free energy and clean water now.

May we fight the beast in the light. So be it.

Simon Gracey

Letter to the editorLiving in darkness

Want to win a hunting trip for a pronghorn or a ram?

Or how about a scholarship to the American Wilderness Leader-ship School in Wyoming?

These are some of the prizes available to Oklahoma students ages 11-17 and to Oklahoma educa-tors in two different creative writ-ing contests sponsored by Okla-homa Station Chapter-Safari Club International and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conser-vation.

Entries are due by Nov. 13, so the time to start writing is now.

2017 Student Creative Writing Competition

This contest is divided into two categories: ages 11-14 and ages 15-17. Each category will have a boy and a girl winner. Students must be enrolled in school or homeschooled, and must have completed the Oklahoma Hunter Education course by Nov. 13.

An essay or short story may be submitted. The writer may choose either of two themes: “Hunting:

Sharing the Heritage” or “Archery: What I Like About Archery in the Schools and Bowhunting.” Each entry must be submitted with an entry form.

In the ages 11-14 category, one boy and one girl will get a hunting trip at the Chain Ranch and re-ceive a scholarship to the Outdoor Texas Camp for hunting during summer 2018. Oklahoma Station Chapter-Safari Club International will reimburse the winners travel expenses up to a maximum of $500 per winner.

In the ages 15-17 category, one boy and one girl will go on a guided antelope hunt in the Texas Panhandle in the 2018 hunting season. Oklahoma Station-Safari Club International will reimburse travel expenses up to a maximum of $500 per winner. This trip is subject to change based on Texas hunting rules.

The four statewide winners and their legal guardians will be invited to Oklahoma City to attend an awards ceremony in March

2018. In addition, the top 25 essay entrants will receive a one-year youth membership to Safari Club International. The four state win-ners’ entries will be printed in the Oklahoma Station Chapter-Safari Club International newsletter “Sa-fari Trails” in December. Printing makes the essays eligible for con-sideration in the Outdoor Writers Association of America Youth Writing Contest. Essays may also be printed in Outdoor Oklahoma, the official magazine of the Wild-life Department.

For full rules and entry form, go to www.wildlifedepartment.com/education/youth-opp/cre-ative-writing-competition.

2017 Conservation Scholarship for Educators

Two educators will be award-ed a scholarship to an eight-day conservation education school at Safari Club International’s American Wilderness Leadership School (AWLS) at Granite Ranch near Jackson, Wyo. The AWLS program covers many aspects of

conservation education; for more information go to www.safari-clubfoundation.org/education/american-wilderness-school.

Lodging, meals and training materials will be provided by Okla-homa Station Chapter-Safari Club International. Transportation to Wyoming will be covered by the Oklahoma Wildlife Department.

Educators must fill out an entry form and write an essay of 500-1,000 words on “Why Wildlife Conservation is Important.” Other judged criteria include training received in conservation educa-tion or environmental education programs, current programs the educator is conducting in the school and community, and past programs. Teachers of state win-ners in the youth essay contest will receive priority consideration.

For full rules and entry form, go to www.wildlifedepartment.com/education/conservation-edu-cation-scholarship.

Four different earth-quakes rattled Kingfisher County in the early-morn-ing hours Tuesday.

The largest was a 4.1 magnitude quake that struck about halfway be-

tween Dover and Hen-nessey, west of U.S. 81. According to the United States Geological Survey, that quake hit about 4:50 a.m.

About three hours prior

to that, and in about the same spot, was a 2.6-mag-nitude quake.

A 2.9-magnitude earth-quake struck southwest of there about 5:30 a.m. There was also a 3.0-magnitude

earthquake in that same area around 7:30 a.m.

Although no major damage or injuries have been reported, there were several social media posts regarding the earthquakes,

especially after the largest.There were several re-

ports of decorations rattling off walls and the movement from the earthquake awak-ing people from their sleep.

Multiple quakes rattle county early Tuesday

In November, we travel and we eat. We shop for Christmas gifts, and we eat some more.

The best way to enjoy this time of year, and not lose control of your money, is to make a budget for the month’s special costs. With that in mind, here are some budget items to be ready for in November:

CookwareAre you hosting Thanksgiving

Day dinner for your family, or bringing your favorite side dish to a potluck? Either way, you’ll need pots, pans, and casserole dishes. Cookware discounts can be as high as 80 percent in November, so it’s a great month to budget for them if you need to add or replace an item

in your collection.

Higher Food CostsPlan your Thanksgiving recipes

ahead of time, so you can wow friends and family with your cook-ing (and budgeting) abilities. If you’re hosting out-of-town family for more than a day, you’ll want to budget even more for extra meals and restaurant visits.

ShoppingThe last weekend of November

is when you’ll find all the big, crazy sales. Set aside some money so you can take advantage of the great Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts on things like clothes, televisions, and other technology.

Pet BoardingJust because you got an invi-

tation to Aunt Elizabeth’s fancy Thanksgiving dinner two states away doesn’t mean Fido did. If your pet isn’t making the trip with you, make sure to budget for boarding fees.

Holiday TravelPlane tickets and hotel rooms

aren’t the only travel costs to ac-count for this time of year. Snacks at the airport, Uber or cab rides, parking garages, tips, and extra gas money are some of the smaller expenses that can slip under your radar.

Christmas DecorationsYou’re probably excited to string

up lights as soon as you’re done eating turkey on November 26th. If you’re also in the mood to buy a peppermint scented candle or a new Christmas wreath, make sure to set aside money to pay for it.

Higher Utility CostsLow temps mean high heat-

ing bills. Keep your budget from getting burned by increasing the amount you plan to pay for electric or gas heating.

Remember, when you make a plan for your money each month you’ll have more peace of mind. And who doesn’t want to enjoy their turkey in peace?

They were later an-nounced as national cham-pions and got the opportu-nity to walk across stage in front of 50,000 FFA members and live on RF-DTV at the Ninth General Session of the National FFA Convention.

Kingfisher FFA will now be in the history books as the winner of the first Na-tional Conduct of Chapter Meetings Event, followed by Asotin FFA of Washington, Barrington Middle FFA of Florida and Litchfield FFA of Minnesota.

Meanwhile, Kingfisher’s Parliamentary Procedure team, consisting of Madelyn Gerken, Addison Themer, Peyton Burns, Emily Gar-rett, Bree Taylor and Lane Dobrovolny, all became ac-credited parliamentarians at the national convention.

On the written test, King-fisher’s team posted a higher test average than any of the other teams representing 44 states and Puerto Rico.

Bree Taylor also received the award of best secretary.

Law 89-387 on April 12, 1966, by President Lyndon Johnson, created Daylight Saving Time to begin on the last Sunday of April and to end on the last Sunday of October.

Any State that wanted to be exempt from Daylight Saving Time could do so by passing a state law.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 extended Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. beginning in 2007, though Congress retained the right to revert to the 1986 law should the change prove unpopular or if energy savings are not significant.

Going from 2007 forward, Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. begins at 2 a.m. on the

second Sunday of March and ends at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of November.

That’s where we stand now. Like it or hate it, this is the time we will live under in Oklahoma until March 11.

The official change time is 2 a.m. for each switch but most people don’t stay up to do that. Besides many clocks today are programmed to make the switch for you.

So happy snoozing on Sunday morning but be ready to go home in the dark if you have to work late during the week.

So far, no one has proposed publicly ending the work day at 4 p.m. during the shorter daylight time of the year.

A warrant was still out-standing at press time for a Dover woman charged Thursday in Kingfisher County District Court with possession of methamphet-amine with intent to dis-tribute.

Misty Hedge, 48, al-legedly had three grams of methamphetamine in her possession when she was arrested July 11 in Dover on an unrelated warrant.

According to an affida-vit signed by Kingfisher County Sheriff’s Deputy Todd Davis, the amount of methamphetamine and its packaging in a corner of a trash bag tied in a knot is more typical of drugs intended for repackaging and distribution than for individual use.

According to the arrest warrant, Hedge’s bond won’t be set until her first court appearance.

If convicted, she faces from two years to life in prison and a fine of up to $20,000.

Kingfisher County com-missioners tabled action a second straight week Monday on purchasing 10 acres of land for a new county jail.

District 3 Commissioner Keith Schroder made the motion to delay action on buying the property because a contract, including final amendments, had not been delivered to commissioners for review by trust attorney David Henneke.

Schroder said he didn’t want to vote on the matter until he had a chance to re-view a contract to purchase the project and until after Assistant District Attorney John Salmon reviews it and okays it.

Commissioners Jeff Moss, District 1, and Ray Shimanek, District 2 and chairman, agreed and voted

yes on Schroder’s motion to table THE action.

Jerry Copeland, a mem-ber of the Kingfisher County Criminal Justice Authority, the committee working on the new jail project, dropped by the commissioners’ of-fice after Monday’s meet-ing, and explained that the amendments needed on the contract, dealt with such matters as assuring that the jail would have access to City of Kingfisher utilities, including sanitation, and that it would be platted to have access from the Mercy Hospital circle streets, both of which are assured.

The proposed jail is on property already within city limits.

The proposed jail site lays adjacent to the west of the hospital complex.

The action item on

Monday’s agenda called for the purchase of 10 acres from Vincent Rother in the amount of $350,000 with a down-payment of $17,500 in earnest money.

The balance of the pay-ment would be delayed until early 2018.

Commissioners approved a professional agreement between Kingfisher County Health Department and Adult Partners for Healthy Living Grant.

The agreement calls for the health department to pay Adult Partner for Healthy Living at the rate of $1,200 a month for a 12-month pe-riod ending on May 31, 2018.

State Rep. Rick West hosted an interim study Tuesday on Oklahoma’s Central Purchasing Act during a House Govern-ment Modernization Com-mittee meeting.

The study included pre-sentations from three state agency representatives who claim mandatory state con-tracts force agencies to purchase items at a higher cost than what they could pay locally.

“I first learned about cen-tral purchasing concerns from agency employees in my district who were frustrated with the manda-tory contracts,” said West, R-Heavener. “And if you find a problem at multiple agencies locally, there’s a good chance you’ll find the same problem elsewhere in our state.

“This practice of over-paying for basic items is unacceptable, and it has to stop.”

Speakers from the Okla-homa Department of Cor-rections, the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department and the Okla-homa Department of Trans-portation appeared before committee members Tues-day saying policies put in place by the Office of Man-agement and Enterprise Services are inefficient and enable government waste.

“OMES is a good part-ner,” said Cathy Menefee, chief financial officer for the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. “But there is still work to be done.”

Menefee expressed frus-tration with mandatory contracts, but conceded there were ways around the traditional purchasing agreement.

Ultimately, Menefee said obtaining exceptions for a multimillion dollar state agency with dozens of lo-cations across Oklahoma is “an onerous process.”

“Running government efficiently means reducing the administrative over-head. Decreased appropria-tions have led to lower staff-ing levels and we have less time to carry this adminis-trative burden,” Menefee said. “We have to work to simplify the rules.”

OMES rebutted, saying the agency has not received any vendor complaints this year.

State Central Purchasing Director Ferris Barger said agencies were losing sight of the smaller costs associated with procurement.

He said there were sim-ple steps state agencies could take to receive pur-chasing exceptions.

“If you’ve got to jump through fire and monkey

hoops that you’ve created, then that’s what you’ve done,” Barger said.

West said agencies in his House district are forced to purchase standard items outside of LeFlore County. At least one contract re-quires purchases be made in Fort Smith, Ark.

West said rooting out government inefficiency is critical, especially when the state is trying to fill a sub-stantial budget hole.

Reforming central pur-chasing is a simple way the Legislature could redistrib-ute control to local agencies and potentially save the state millions of dollars, he said.

“Sometimes we get so caught up in Oklahoma City that we lose sight of the big picture,” said West, R-Heav-ener. “Well, trimming fat so agencies can operate more fully within their means should always be the big picture.”

House committee holdshearing on purchasing

A worker for RES was trapped 300 feet on a wind turbine in the Red Dirt Wind Project near Hennessey early Thursday morning, a Kingfisher County sheriff’s deputy reported.

Deputy Mike Shults was the first on the scene in response to a 911 call about 2 a.m. Thursday at a wind turbine located one mile south on Exxon Road and two miles east.

David Sims, 33, and an-other RES employee were working on the wind turbine when when a bolt trapped Sims’ hand, Shults said.

Members of a company rescue team working for RES were able to cut the bolt with a saw to free Sims’ hand and assisted him in climbing down from the tower.

Sims was transported by air ambulance to St. Antho-ny’s Hospital in Oklahoma City, where he was treated for a traumatic injury to his hand, Shults said.

Shults said company of-ficials told him the turbine has been deactivated and locked down, pending an

internal investigation into the cause of the accident.

The flu is nothing to sneeze at, especially if you’re an older adult.

Anywhere from 140,000 to 710,000 Americans are projected to land in the hospital this year as a result of the flu and its complica-tions, and 12,000 to 56,000 are expected to die from flu-related illnesses. Adults 65 and older will account for as many as 70 percent of the hospital stays and 85 percent of the deaths.

Vaccination remains the best protection against the flu virus. Besides the tradi-tional flu vaccines that help protect against three strains of the virus, there are now “quadrivalent” vaccines that help protect against four strains.

This year, there are two vaccines designed specifi-cally for people 65 and older.
