Grant receives Lifetime Achievement Award at International Conference

ProvidedDr. Peter Grant (left) recently received a Lifetime Achievement Award at an international conference in Aracruz, Brazil. Shown with Grant are the two other recipients, Dr. John Brittain (center) from Norway and Dr. Eduardo Dominguez from Argentina.

Grant received the award at an international conference in Aracruz, Brazil. The conference brings together specialists on the study of two groups of aquatic insects – mayflies (Ephemeroptera) and stoneflies (Plecoptera) – every three years. Grant received the award for his work on mayflies.Grant began his studies of mayflies as an undergraduate

at Pennsylvania State University while participating in a student-originated study on a local stream. He continued his research on mayflies in graduate school, earning a master’s degree at the University of North Texas and a Ph.D. at Florida State University. He taught at Morris College in South Carolina for

three years and then joined the SWOSU Department of Biological Sciences in 1988 and continued his work on mayflies in the areas of behavior, ecology and systematics (species identification, classification and evolution). He has involved 14 undergraduates in this research, who have given presentations at local, state, regional and national conferences. Grant compiled an annual bibliography on mayflies for

the North American Benthological Society for 27 years. He assisted producers (BBC) and authors (National Geographic) who were searching for information on mayflies and was interviewed about mayflies by the New York Times.He also founded The Mayfly Newsletter and served as

editor for 26 years. Over 400 people in 51 countries received

the publication, which is now being published in a digital version. All issues have been archived in SWOSU Library’s Digital Commons collection.Grant was elected by his peers to serve on the Committee

for the International Conferences on Ephemeroptera in 1998. This committee assists with the organization of the triennial international meeting. He currently serves as the secretary of that committee.At SWOSU, Grant has served as president of the Faculty

Senate, chair of the Department of Biological Sciences and has been the dean of the College of Arts & Sciences since 2014.Grant has been active in the Weatherford community,

volunteering in Boy Scouts since 1992. He served as chair of the Weatherford Environmental Recycling and Solid Waste Task Force during its first two years and has offered several K-12 teacher workshops on campus dealing with science instruction. In 1996, he and his students developed the water session for the Deer Creek Conservation District’s annual outdoor classroom. Besides this recent award, Grant has received the

Bernhardt Academic Excellence Award, an Excellence in Teaching Award and the Professional Educator Award for Conservation Education. He was nominated by students three times for Who’s Who Among American Teachers and was selected to participate in the Outstanding Professor’s Academy.

This week’s story involves an Indian Head Cent dated 1877 whose date is a semi- key to the series for those who collect Indian Head Cents. A total of 852,500 circulating cents were coined in 1877 at the Philadelphia mint. A total of 900 cents were struck in proof condition. (The mint probably sold the proof cent for less than one dollar).This particular 1877 cent is

considered an almost perfect strike showing great strength in details on both sides of the cent.This very beautiful 1877 proof Indian Head Cent was

certified by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as a Proof 67 Red (proof 70 is considered perfect-Red means the cent looks like it was just struck yesterday, not 141 years ago). The cent sold at auction on June 14 2018 at Long Beach, California coin show.It brought a very impressive winning bid of $72,001.20.Do you need help with a coin collection? Call 405-222-

Who would pay more than a penny for a penny?

"The Coin Guy"

Jim Morrison

“Get your crosses here, “Cheap crosses for sale;” So cried the man hawking his wares at the Festival in Rio. Although he knew it not, he was parroting the understanding of many in the modern world. We fi nd it easy to talk about the Grace of God today. Many books have been written about it—most of them very helpful. But if we are not careful we will push the pendulum too far and picture a cheap grace that Bonheoff er talked about in his classic book, The Cost of Discipleship.”

He described cheap grace as “preaching forgiveness without repentance…grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.” Costly grace is described as the treasure hidden in the fi eld. Upon fi nding it the man sells all that he has to purchase the fi eld. Such grace is costly because it “costs a man his life.” It is costly because “it calls us to follow Jesus Christ,” to say with Paul, “I am crucifi ed with Christ.”

A seminary professor once asked his class to defi ne grace. One student who worked at a Goodwill store off ered a response. He said, “A youngster came in last week in need of a coat, but he had no money. So we gave him the coat freely, without charge. That was grace.’ The professor said, “You have given a partial answer. The picture of grace in the New Testament would have you say to the boy after having given him the coat, ‘Now you belong to me.’”

On one occasion, King David was to build an alter and off er a sacrifi ce. He needed wood, fi re, and an animal to complete the sacrifi ce. He came to Araunah and off ered to buy the needed supplies. But Araunah protested saying, “May the Lord the king take whatever pleases him and off er it up.” But David would have none of that. He said, “No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifi ce to the Lord my God burnt off erings that cost me nothing.”(2 Samuel 24:24)

In this age of entitlement we are quick to take anything that is off ered, feeling somehow that we have earned it by just getting up that morning.

Following Jesus is costly, if you are thinking in terms of ease and comfort. But there are those who count it all joy when they have chosen to suff er hardship to follow Jesus. I think of a friend of mine, who was a leader in the Campus ministry, graduating with a degree in Pharmacy from SWOSU in 1968. Upon retirement, rather than settling for comfort and an occasional trip to see the Cardinals, he moved to Nicaragua serving the poorest of the poor in medical missions. This past week he moved to Nepal to give assistance to those still recovering from the earthquake. He posted a picture on face book of his clothes drying in the window. He has discovered that Grace can be costly but the cost of not following Jesus in discipleship is far greater. In the words of Dallas Willard, “Nondiscipleship costs abiding peace, a life penetrated throughout by love, faith that sees everything in the light of God’s overriding governance for good, hopefulness that stands fi rm in the most discouraging of circumstances, power to do the right and withstand the forces of evil. In short, it costs exactly that abundance of life Jesus said he came to bring.” John 10:10. To comment [email protected]

Hofmeister announces first winners of state’s $4 million Champions of Excellence grant

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Joy Hofmeister announced the 18 winners of a new Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) competitive grant focused on ensuring students have access to a well-rounded education in a safe and healthy school environment.For the new “Champions of Excellence” grant, Oklahoma

is leveraging millions of dollars in federal Title IV, Part A funds to increase the ability of local schools to improve conditions that lead to student learning. This year’s grantees were awarded a total of $4 million.“Through this grant program, we are working to

prioritize activities that promote well-rounded education opportunities,” said Hofmeister. “In order to reach those goals, it is crucial we invest in schools that have big ideas and bold plans that take shape in innovative programs to foster student learning. Oklahoma’s new Champions of Excellence Program is proud to make that investment in the outstanding Programs of Excellence announced today.”Forty-one districts applied for the $4 million made

available to Oklahoma through Title IV, Part A of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Many of the 18 winners are pursuing multiple focal areas for a total of 34 new programs that will launch in Oklahoma schools in July 2018 as a result of the grant funding.The competitive grants will serve as investments in

schools seeking to improve or advance student achievement by addressing well-rounded education, safe and healthy schools, and effective use of technology. However, the Champions of Excellence program is available to all Oklahoma districts. After successfully completing a rubric in one of six focal areas (fine arts, mathematics, science, social studies/civics, world languages and safe and healthy schools), Programs of Excellence will receive recognition on the state’s school report card dashboard to be unveiled

in December.Oklahoma will receive an additional $11 million of

Title IV, Part A funding this fiscal year, which will be distributed to all Oklahoma schools. OSDE will introduce two new focal areas – computer science and English language arts – at that time.“By leveraging Title IV, Part A funds in a competitive

grants process, already we are seeing innovative projects that will have a significant impact on students,” said Hofmeister. “These funds will help districts ensure their students have access to the well-rounded education all Oklahoma students deserve.”Districts that received 2018-19 Champions of Excellence

OSDH Warns About High Temperatures for Safety of Children As temperatures climb, so

does the risk for heat-related illness due to hyperthermia (overheating). The Oklahoma State Department of Health reminds parents that children’s

bodies overheat easily, and infants and children under age 4 are among those at greatest risk for heat-related illnesses. Heat stroke is one of the leading causes of non-crash,

vehicle–related death for children. In the United States, a child dies from heat stroke in a vehicle every 10 days. Parents and caregivers of young children should especially keep in mind that vehicles heat up quickly and can be extremely dangerous for children.A report from the National Safety Council indicates more

than half of deaths of kids in hot cars were at home, and 25 percent of deaths occurred at the caregiver’s workplace. The report also states there were 21 deaths of children in hot cars in Oklahoma from 1998-2017.OSDH offers the following safety tips to keep Oklahoma

children safe in cars during extreme heat:Never leave a child unattended in a vehicle, not even for a

minute, even if the windows are open. The temperature inside a vehicle can rise to more than

140 degrees Farenheit when the outside temperature is 101 degrees Farenheit, and a child’s body temperature can increase three to five times faster than an adult’s body temperature.Even in cool temperatures, cars can heat up to dangerous

temperatures very quickly. Interior temperatures can rise almost 20 degrees within the first 10 minutes, even with the windows cracked.Look before you lock. Always check the back seat. Check to

ensure all children are taken out of the vehicle when reaching

the destination. More than 50 percent of cases of children dying in hot cars occurred when a distracted caregiver forgot that a child was in the back seat. Even great parents can forget a child in the back seat.Set up a reminder– a phone call from a friend or spouse, a

note on the vehicle dashboard, or place something needed for the day (such as a purse, briefcase, or cell phone) in the back seat so you will check the back seat and see the child before leaving the vehicle. Be especially careful when changing routines for dropping

off children for child care. Heat stroke incidents occur when people’s routine is disrupted.If transporting children and cargo, such as groceries, take

children from the vehicle first.Make sure the child care provider has a system in place to

prevent leaving children alone in their van or bus.Keep vehicle doors and trunks closed and locked. Up to

one-third of heat-related deaths among children occurred when a child was playing in an unlocked vehicle and became trapped inside. Keep vehicle keys out of reach and out of sight. Teach

children not to play in or around vehicles. Teach children that vehicle trunks are not safe places to

hide. Show children how to use the emergency trunk release if they become trapped inside. If a child is seen alone in a locked, parked car, it is permitted

by law to forcibly enter the vehicle to rescue the child. Call 911 immediately for emergency assistance. Once the child is out of the vehicle, stay with the child in a safe place near the vehicle until emergency responders arrive.To receive more information on summer car safety, contact

Food, family, and everything in betweenIt’s no secret that I have

a bit of a sweet tooth. This summer my go-to treat has been ice cream. My freezer is fully stocked with ice cream sandwiches, ice cream candy bars, and at least three different flavors of ice cream. It’s hard to beat a big bowl of the homemade stuff though. I used to think that ice cream

was way too difficult and expensive to make, and while it can be as expensive to make as it is to buy it’s not as labor intensive as you might think. Since July 15 is National Ice Cream Day I thought I would

share some delicious recipes to try.

Toasted Marshmallow Brownie Ice Cream

32 regular-sized marshmallows2 cups whipping cream2 cups half and half½ cup malt powder½ tsp. vanilla extractpinch of salt2 cups brownie pieces

Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat your oven to broil. Place marshmallows on a baking sheet. Broil the marshmallows for 1 to 2 minutes, just until they begin to brown and puff. Remove them from the oven and set them aside.In a large saucepan, heat the whipping cream and half-

and-half over medium heat. Once the mixture is warm, add the toasted marshmallows and stir until the marshmallows are melted. Whisk in the malt powder, vanilla and salt and stir until the malt is dissolved. Remove the pan from heat and let it cool to room

temperature. Transfer the ice cream base to a covered plastic container and chill for 24 hours.Remove the ice cream base from the refrigerator and give

it a few whisks to reincorporate the ingredients. Follow your ice cream machine manufacturer's

instructions for processing the ice cream. It usually takes 25 to 30 minutes for the ice cream to become creamy and frozen. Add in the brownie pieces just before you're about to

turn off the machine, and let the machine mix them in for about a minute. Scrape the ice cream into a freezer-safe container and

freeze for several hours, or until the ice cream is firm enough to eat. The ice cream will keep in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.If you don’t like malt flavor you can leave that out and it

will still taste amazing. What if you don’t have an ice cream maker? Guess what,

you don’t need one. This no-churn version is just as tasty and super simple to make. You can switch out the strawberries for blueberries,

cherries, or raspberries and add other ingredients like graham cracker crumbs, cream cheese, or chocolate chips to make it your own fabulous creation.

Strawberries and Cream Ice Cream

1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold2 Tbsp. granulated sugar14 oz. sweetened condensed milk1 tsp. vanilla extract1 cup strawberries, diced

Chill a metal mixing bowl and metal mixing whisk in your freezer for at least 15 minutes. Combine the granulated sugar and cold heavy cream

in the mixing bowl and mix on medium-high until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk, then the

vanilla and the strawberries. Pour into a sealable container and freeze overnight. Honestly, how would we survive summertime without

ice cream? Whether you decide to whip up a batch or buy a gallon at

the store make sure you celebrate National Ice Cream Day enjoying a big serving of this cold and creamy concoction.

Feed OK App Makes it Easy to Round Up and Donate to Fight Hunger

Every $1 donated to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma provides four meals for chronically hungry children, seniors on fixed incomes and families struggling to put food on the table. With the launch of the Feed OK app, the Regional Food

Bank is making it easier than ever to join in the fight to end hunger in the state.“Oklahoma is the fifth hungriest state in the nation,

where one in six Oklahomans lives with hunger,” said Katie Fitzgerald, chief executive officer, Regional Food Bank. “Join us in ending hunger by donating your spare change through this user-friendly and secure app.”To get started, download the Feed OK app in the Apple

App Store and Google Play, text “Give2-FeedOK” to 77948 or visit regionalfoodbank.org/feedok.

Once Oklahomans sign up, they securely link an account or debit/credit card they use regularly and their purchases on that card will be rounded to the nearest dollar to help the Regional Food Bank solve hunger.The Regional Food Bank provides enough food to feed

136,000 each week. Last year, the Regional Food Bank distributed more

than 52 million pounds of food, or more than 43.4 million meals, and product through a network of more than 1,300 community-based partner agencies and charitable feeding programs and schools throughout 53 central and western Oklahoma counties.Working together, we can end hunger in Oklahoma. For

more information visit regionalfoodbank.org/feedok or call 405-972-1111.

The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) has worked for the past three months to develop a framework for implementing the requirements of SQ 788. Now that Oklahoma voters have approved the measure, OSDH is confident that we are ready to meet those requirements by the specified time and that the process will be handled with integrity.Emergency rules governing the Oklahoma Medical

Marijuana Authority will be considered by the Oklahoma State Board of Health at their July 10 meeting. Application information and requirements will be available by July 26 for all of the defined categories and the agency will begin accepting applications no later than August 25. Program information will be made available at omma.ok.gov. “Please do not visit the state or county health department

offices with questions relating to medical marijuana. We are still working with limited staff who deliver clinical and other services across the state,” said OSDH Interim Commissioner Tom Bates. “All relevant information and instructions will be provided online.”The application process will be available at the required

time and will be enhanced in the coming months to make it more efficient for all interested parties. It may take some time to fully implement all of the steps recommended in preparation for this new program, but we will continue to work to meet the letter of the law and to protect the health and safety of all Oklahomans.We have also established a phone number that will

provide pre-recorded information for interested applicants. The number is (405) 271-2266.

for the service, and has allowed both Blaine County and Weatherford to expand their 911 services.

CORDELL REJECTS CONSTRUCTION BID- Cordell City Council voted to reject a bid received for a construction project at the Cordell Fire Department.

at its next meeting.

Taxpayers Unite announces they will not seek a second petition effort to force a veto referendum on tax increases designed to help fund teacher pay raises. The group made the announcement after the initial petition effort was ruled invalid by the State Supreme Court. Clinton Schools Superintendent Kevin Hime said its good news for educators and provides clarity moving forward. “In Clinton, we were moving forward as if the petition

didn’t exist so it works out really well for us because there were still uncertainties and what we were going to do if the petition was successful and the vote went the wrong way.” Tax increases on gasoline and cigarettes went into effect

in Oklahoma on Sunday July 1.

COMMISSION EXTENDS AGREEMENT WITH MCYS- The Weatherford City Commission last approved extending its agreement with Multi-County Youth Services. Police Chief Louis Flowers said the Community Intervention Center helps the Police Department. “Anytime we have a juvenile that has a problem or been

charged with a crime, anywhere from truancy to curfew violation, or any other ones the CIC will actually, well what we do is we take them and do the reports on them, but we take them to a housing facility in Clinton and they house these and notify the Department of Juvenile Affairs, their parents are notified, and they have to come sign them out.” Flowers said by using Multi-County, it allows the police

department to return an officer to the street instead of staying with the juvenile until they are released.
