MHS top-30 athletes: Nos. 6-10
Sports editor Kyle Salomon is ranking his current top-30 Mustang High School athletes in a six-week series of columns. This week he is revealing Nos. 6-10.
Here is a look at Nos. 6-10 in my current top-30 Mustang High School athletes list.
6. Austin Meyer, junior, basketball
Austin Meyer is perhaps the best-kept secret when it comes to Mustang High School basketball. You might ask yourself, "How can a 6-foot-10 forward that can move and handle the ball like a guard and has a mid-range jump shot be a secret in high school basketball?"
That question is definitely warranted. The fact of the matter is, Meyer is one of the best post players in the state of Oklahoma and he is being recruited by several major college universities to come play basketball for their respective institutions.
When Meyer does get the ball down low and has the freedom to go to work on the block, there is not a single high school basketball player in this state who could stop him.
His style of play reminds me of a young Tim Duncan. Yeah, Thunder fans, remember that guy? Well, Meyer has the ability to have the type of impact on the game that Duncan does for the Spurs. Just imagine if Meyer was used like Duncan in the Mustang offense.
Meyer is a highlight reel waiting to happen. If you question that, I beg you to go to You Tube and find the video of the MHS junior one-handing a pass from a teammate and throwing it down in a way only Blake Griffin could understand.
If the Broncos do follow through and cut the nets down next March as the state champions, Meyer will be a big reason why.
7. Alina Magruder, senior, soccer
Alina Magruder is fast, real fast. The senior forward on the Lady Broncos soccer team is so fast it's hard to take photos of her running down the field to go score a goal.
Magruder is one of the best athletes in all of Mustang High School and is one of the best girls soccer players in the state of Oklahoma. She has a rare knack to be at the right spot at the right time and find the ball with an open shot at the goal.
If Magruder has an open shot at the goal you might as well just go ahead and put a point on the scoreboard in Mustang's favor because that ball is going into the back of the net.
Magruder was a highly sought after soccer player all over the country, but she eventually decided to verbally commit to play at Iowa University.
Entering her final campaign as a Lady Bronco, Magruder will help lead the Bronco girls soccer team to another state tournament berth that this time will lead to gold in the end.
8. Josh Turner, junior, rowing
Josh Turner might be the best overall athlete at Mustang High School, but he's the most unknown athlete at Mustang High School.
Want to know why?
Turner doesn't play a sport that is sanctioned by the OSSAA or a sport that Mustang High School employs.
The Mustang High School junior is a national champion rower for his age division and is being recruited nationally by colleges to come and row for them.
Turner wasn't always into the rowing scene. Baseball was his true first love growing up, but the left-hander failed to make the cut his freshman year and he decided to give rowing a shot.
What seemed devastating at the time by not making the high school baseball team turned into a blessing in disguise.
If Turner continues on this path of success in the water, we will be watching him representing our great country in the Olympics someday.
9. Amirah Jones, senior, track
Amirah Jones earned her way into my top 10 current Mustang High School athletes when I went to the state track meet last May at Yukon High School and saw the then-MHS junior flying around the track earning a third-place overall finish in the girls 400-yard dash.
Jones will enter her senior season as one of the favorites to compete for the state championship in the 400-yard dash next May.
If the Lady Bronco senior has a strong fall and winter entering track season next spring, there is no reason why she won't be wearing the gold medal around her neck as a state champion in mid-May next year.
10. Caisey Jones, senior, softball
Caisey Jones is all about one thing, softball. The MHS senior has lived and breathed the sport since she was born.
It's not hard to figure out why as her mother, Amy Jones, was an All-State softball player for Mustang High School and is the most popular person when it comes to softball in and around the Mustang area.
Caisey's older sister, Bailey Jones, was a softball player at Mustang High School and is now playing at Southwestern Christian University in Bethany.
So the fact that Caisey's life is centered around softball is no surprise.
Caisey is making the move from second base and third base to short stop going into her final year for the Lady Broncos and she will be counted on to be a leader for the young team this fall.
There is no doubt, Caisey will play softball at the next level, but before that happens, she will try and help the Broncos softball team to a state championship in head coach Brian Howard's first year on the job.

Price to play golf soaring through the roof
Final Point
In the past several months, I have heard numerous people talk about golf as a dying sport in this nation.
It is a true statement. The number of people going out to play golf on a Saturday or Sunday is increasingly getting smaller every spring, summer and fall.
Golf courses all over the country are being closed because they cannot sustain themselves without anybody coming out to play golf.
That is probably why the golf courses that are staying open are not in the best shape because they have to cut their budgets somewhere.
So, the problem has been identified, now we have to figure out why golf is a sinking ship in the United States. And is there a solution to the problem?
Many people believe it is because of the slow nature of the game. We do live in a fast-paced society that has to have everything right now instead of being patient and actually waiting for a better outcome.
Hence why basketball and football are the two most popular sports in this nation and soccer is the fastest-growing sport. Baseball is definitely not known for its brevity when it comes to game time or action on the field. Therefore, it is slowly dying as well. However, not at the speed that golf seems to be.
Some people out there believe that it is because golf is a sport primarily played by middle-aged men with families to take care of, so now instead of spending four or five hours on a golf course on a Saturday, they are staying home and being with their families.
All of these reasons are valid and have strong points behind them, and even may be a part of the reason golf is slipping away, but the main reason I believe the sport is fading fast is what it does to our wallets. It empties them faster than the cable companies do. OK, maybe not that fast, but you get the point.
Golf is the most expensive sport-related hobby in the world. If you want to go play a round of golf, regardless of the niceness of the course, it is going to cost you an arm and a leg.
To get a round of golf in and spend less than $30 is a minor miracle these days. If you want to ride a cart, which is what most people do, you are most likely going to be spending around $35.
Here are the green fee costs of five different golf courses close to the Mustang area:
Early Wine Golf Club in southwest Oklahoma City has a green fee and cart price of $39. Lake Hefner Golf Club in northwest Oklahoma City has a green fee and cart price of $39. Crimson Creek Golf Course in El Reno has a green fee and cart price of $33.
The Links at Mustang Creek off Mustang Road and 15th Street is a private course but you can play with a member and that cost is $15 to walk nine holes, $30 to walk 18 holes and $40 to ride a cart on 18 holes.
In the 12 square miles of Mustang, the only golf course is a 9-hole par-3 course called Pebble Creek. If you want to walk 18 holes at Pebble Creek Golf Course, the cost is $14, if you want to ride a cart, the cost is $28.
Of course, all of these green fees and cart prices are the main prices to play. There are different rates for different times of the day, but the cheaper rates are not the best times to play a round of golf.
What is sad is that the owners of these golf courses don't seem to care that they are losing business in a rapid fashion. All they would have to do is cut the cost play in half and I believe you would see the number of golfers begin to climb again.
Instead, these owners cut costs in the maintenance department or cut back on their water usage, making their golf courses look like burnt-up pastures in late July.
My hope, as a golfer, is that one day these owners will see the light and realize by cutting their green fee and cart prices down, the number of golfers on their courses will begin to rise.

Top-30 current Mustang High School athletes: Nos. 11-15
Sports editor Kyle Salomon is counting down his current top-30 Mustang High School athletes in a six-week series of columns. This week is Nos. 11-15.
Here are Nos. 11-15 in my current top 30 Mustang High School athletes list beginning with No. 11.
11. David Parker, senior, football
David Parker can be summed in one quote from head Mustang football coach Jeremy Dombek.
"He's the best athlete I've coached since Justin Blackmon."
Well, if that is true, then Bronco fans, you are in for a real treat this fall when Parker will dazzle you with supreme athleticism. The 6-foot-2 MHS wide receiver has the ability to beat his defender down the field for a long-range touchdown toss, and he also has the ability to go inside and go up and grab balls out of the air with defenders hanging on him.
If Parker can live up to his head coach's bold statement about him, then we will have highlight reels every Friday night to look forward to this coming season.
12. Lance Frost, senior, cross country and track
Lance Frost will be one of the few harriers in the state this year who has a realistic chance to bring home the gold in cross country.
Frost is one of the best male runners the Broncos cross country team has had, and they have had some good ones in their rich history of excellence.
If Frost can stay on the healthy side of things this fall for the Broncos, look out for the senior to be near the top or top of every race the Mustang boys compete in this year.
13. Geoffrey Hightower, senior, basketball
Geoffrey Hightower is the unsung hero of the Mustang boys basketball team, with highly-recruited division one prospects Jakolby Long, Austin Meyer and Curtis Heywood getting most of the notoriety on the roster.
The 6-foot-6 power forward averaged 10 points and nine rebounds in his junior season, but Hightower's presence on the Bronco squad goes much more beyond the numbers.
I compare Hightower to University of Oklahoma power forward Ryan Spangler. Spangler is not the tallest, quickest, most talented or most athletic player on the Sooners roster, but he is the heart and soul of the team.
Hightower fills that position nicely for Mustang. With Hightower leading the way and the rest of the roster the Broncos bring back this year, anything but a gold ball will be a disappointment.
14. Cutter Smith, senior, football and soccer
Cutter Smith is one of the top overall dual-sport athletes at Mustang High School. Smith will be the leader of the Bronco boys soccer team next spring when high school soccer kicks off in Oklahoma.
Smith is a midfielder for the Mustang boys and he's also a linebacker and running back for the MHS football team. The swift-footed senior plays both football and soccer with supreme intelligence, which is why he's successful at both sports.
Look for Smith to have a big impact on the Broncos' success on the football and soccer fields this coming year.
15. Marin Godwin, sophomore, cheerleading
Marin Godwin is what people like to call an up-and-coming star at Mustang High School. Even at her young age, Godwin is considered by many in Mustang as the face of the cheerleading program.
Godwin played a big role in helping the cheer squad earn national attention last winter as two Mustang cheer teams took top-five finishes at nationals in Dallas.
With Godwin as the face of Mustang cheerleading for the next three years, the Lady Broncos cheer squad will be in good hands.

Mustang comes together to show its heart
Wow. Just…wow.
Mustang Kiwanis last week put out the call their food pantry shelves were bare and area families were struggling to make it through the summer. The result was an outpouring of support that surprised even longtime volunteers.
Let's face it – we all know Mustang takes care of its own. Someone has a problem and people rush to help. Whether it's offering prayers or a helping hand, this is a great community that cares for its members. Sometimes, though, people get busy – school is getting ready to start, the summer is winding down, and that can be expensive for all of us.
But that didn't stop the more than two dozen people who have brought food to our office. Young and old, they have filled up the Kiwanis barrel – to overflowing – five times in as many days. On behalf of the Kiwanis and the people they help, we are beyond grateful to the people who have taken the time and the trouble to reach out to others in their time of need.
It was what we witnessed yesterday, however, that really got our attention, acts of selflessness and giving that topped even what I would expect of our residents. It was yesterday afternoon that first the Country Charm Day Care bus pulled up to our office. Out filed several children and their teachers, all holding at least one food item. They had collected things, they said, to "help the people who need it." After smiling, letting us take their photo and filling the bin, off they went.
But that wasn't the end of it. Shortly afterward another car pulled up. Out piled Christopher Maxeiner, Cyrus Maxeiner and Brock Carriger. The boys made several trips, carrying boxes and bags of food for the bin. The trio had read about the Kiwanis' need and made a sweep throughout their neighborhood, asking those at home for their help. They were met with many who were willing to lend a hand.
These children are a great example to all of us. It would be easy for them to spend their last weeks of summer break playing and having fun. Instead, they chose to think of others, to give from hearts that inspire all of us to do more for those who need it.
Our task is not finished, of course. The Kiwanis food bank won't stay full without us working to make sure it stays that way. Please, join in the effort – bring your non-perishable food items, paper goods, toiletries, whatever you can spare. Come in, have a cup of coffee, visit and let's celebrate the goodness that is the people of Mustang, Oklahoma.
We salute you.
Mustang News office is located at 290 N. Trade Center Terrace. Regular office hours are 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Call Traci at 376-4571 or 664-4641 to make arrangements for item deliveries at other times.
Mixon fumbles; Knight and Darlington shine
Final Point
By Kyle Salomon,
As I was sitting in my office earlier this week, I learned something about myself that I did not particularly like.
I found myself checking up at least once every hour on the recent story of OU running back Joe Mixon and his alleged assault of University of Oklahoma female student Amelia Rae Monitor last Friday morning at Pickleman's restaurant, a sandwich shop on Campus Corner just outside of the OU campus.
The story is still under investigation by the Norman Police Department, but witnesses and videos say and show Mixon and his friends got into a verbal altercation with Monitor and her friends. There are conflicting reports that say Monitor struck Mixon across the face and then Mixon retaliated by striking Monitor and breaking numerous bones in her face.
The other report says Mixon and Monitor engaged in a heated verbal confrontation and Mixon struck her in the face with Monitor not assaulting Mixon first at all.
The fact of the matter is it doesn't matter which report is accurate. It is never OK for a man to strike a woman in any way regardless if the woman strikes the man first.
The incident happened at 2:40 a.m. on Friday morning, which begs the question, why were they out at that time, especially with Mixon being merely 18 years of age?
What I found out about myself that I was not impressed with, was me sitting there getting angry about the possibility of OU losing one of its best recruits in the program's rich history.
Mixon was rated as the No. 1 running back in the nation coming out of high school last year and when the Sooners coaching staff pulled off the minor miracle and convinced the California native to sign with Oklahoma, OU fans all over the world started having thoughts of the next Adrian Peterson entering Memorial Stadium.
I was angered because it seems like every year, OU football has to deal with situations where a key player or players either suffer season-ending injuries or has trouble with the law and is removed from the team or suspended for a long period of time.
The bottom line is I thought I was better than that. I would talk constantly about how ridiculous certain Oklahoma fans can be in these types of situations and how they think about nothing other than the football aspect and how it will affect their beloved Sooners on the field that coming year.
I proved to myself I was not better than that, and that is something I desperately need to improve about myself in the very near future.
All you saw on Twitter and Facebook over the weekend were comments from people saying horrible things about Monitor, Mixon, OU football or women in general. News publications from newspapers, websites, radio talk shows and television news and sportscasts dedicated most of their space and time to the Mixon story.
It was truly an example of how negative this world and especially the media universe can be.
However, I came across a story earlier this week that is both tragic and uplifting at the same time.
OU cheerleader Taylor Witcher was killed in an automobile accident on Monday and five others are still in serious condition. That is the part of the story that is incredibly tragic and sad. The part of the story that will bring happiness to your heart is what OU football players Trevor Knight and Ty Darlington did in response to the horrific news.
Knight is the starting quarterback for the Sooners and is very much a public figure in the entire state of Oklahoma, and Darlington is a starting offensive lineman for the crimson and cream.
Both OU football players led a prayer vigil on the South Oval on the University of Oklahoma campus, which had hundreds of people show up and participate in the gathering. Knight and Darlington didn't know Witcher or anybody else involved in the fatal accident, but that didn't matter to them. They used their pedestal for something good, and not something negative like so many others in their shoes.
Knight and Darlington are two famous major college athletes who went against the grain and didn't fall in love with themselves because they can throw the football a long way or can run faster than most human beings on this earth. They chose to be a good example to others. They chose to be role models because they know they are.
After doing more digging into the two Sooner football stars, I found out they lead a weekly prayer group on the South Oval. They started it in June and it has been growing ever since. It took a tragic accident like the one that happened on Monday for this to be a story.
How sad is that for the media?
I know negativity sells, but maybe, just maybe if the media would take a stand and tell positive stories like the Knight and Darlington prayer group story, positivity would begin to sell as well.
I know for me, it has changed the way I look at my profession and my job. Yes, the Mixon story has to be told, but the Knight and Darlington story should be showcased.

Mustang High School current top-30 athletes: Nos. 16-20
Mustang News sports editor Kyle Salomon is listing his current top-30 Mustang High School athletes in a six-week series of columns counting down. This is week are Nos. 16-20.
Here is a look at my top 30 Mustang High School athletes list Nos. 16-20, starting with No. 16.
16. Zach Davis, senior, football
Zach Davis is the definition of a journeyman on the Mustang football team. The senior defensive back saw time as a running back for the Bronco offense as a sophomore, was a starting cornerback on the defense his junior season and this year will be a starting safety for the Broncos.
Davis will be the defensive leader for the Broncos on the gridiron this fall when Mustang takes the field in early September against rival Yukon. Having him at the back end and in the middle of the defense will free Davis up to make plays in a bigger area of the field compared to just one side of the field as a cornerback.
Davis has added size to his frame, which will allow him to come up and make plays at the line of scrimmage in the run game for the Bronco D. His one-on-one matchup days against receivers are finished, but Davis will play a big role in the MHS pass defense as well.
Look for Davis to make another huge step in his progression as a football player and become an even bigger force for opponents to deal with this fall.
17. Kyra Fuller, senior, cross country and track
Kyra Fuller enters her senior year as an athlete with something to prove. She had the nearly impossible task of taking over for 2013 Mustang graduate Emily Helms as being the face of girls cross country.
Helms won eight individual state championships between cross country and track, so for Fuller to step into those shoes would be a more than daunting task. The senior has not disappointed in her time as the face of girls cross country as a part of the girls track team.
Fuller has dealt with several injuries in her career that have slowed her down in key races, but if the Lady Bronco can stay healthy for her senior year in cross country and track, she will be a force to be reckoned with come state championship time.
18. Cade Fulton, junior, baseball
Cade Fulton is one of the best up and coming pitchers in the state. His size, arm strength and potential will have college recruiters and professional scouts all over the Mustang baseball facility for the next two years.
Fulton was counted on down the stretch last season for the Broncos. It seemed like every time Mustang needed a big win down the stretch of the year, Fulton was on the bump for MHS.
Fulton will be counted on next season to be a leader for the Broncos as a junior. His performance on the mound will dictate how successful Mustang will be on the diamond next year.
If Fulton continues to progress the way he has the past two seasons, the 6-foot-5 right-handed slinger will be one of the top pitchers in the entire state.
19. Keegan Radichel, senior, soccer
Keegan Radichel and the Bronco boys soccer team had a tough season in 2014 after having high hopes of making the playoffs before the season started.
Mustang returns a lot from that squad and Radichel will be one of those pieces counted on to carry Mustang soccer back to the top of the state.
Radichel has the ability to be a game-changer every time his foot touches the ball. If the Bronco boys are going to be successful next spring on the soccer field, Radichel will be a big reason why.
20. Logan Haller, sophomore, basketball
Logan Haller was counted on late in the season last year for Kevin Korstjens and his staff to provide a spark off the bench for the Lady Broncos basketball team.
Haller didn't disappoint as the year went on, she improved every time she took the court. The sophomore forward will have a bigger role for the Bronco girls this year on the hardwood and will compete for a starting job.
Haller already looked like a much more confident player this summer in the team camp the Lady Broncos hosted at Mustang High School. If Haller can continue to develop her game and her confidence, the young Lady Bronco will have a solid sophomore year.

Obsessed with Facebook?
Not too long ago, someone told me I was "obsessed" with Facebook.
Initially, well, I was kind of insulted. After all, I'm not one of those people who document every move I make, every meal I eat, with a post. I was fairly active on the site, but no more so than most of my friends.
Then, something happened. It wasn't anything really serious, just a bad situation that left me feeling rather isolated and alone. It wasn't really a big deal, in the scheme of things, but in my little world, it was a doozy. It was one of those times you just feel down for a while, one of those situations where family really helps.
The problem for me was we don't have nearby family — or so I thought. Like so many other people these days, we moved away from our families and long-time friends, establishing a life in Mustang. Of course, we have friends here, and good ones, but we don't have the luxury some people have in living in the community we were raised in.
And that's where Facebook comes into it. That's why maybe I am obsessed with social media after all.
Facebook can certainly show the best and worst of people. Some interactions are — for lack of a better word — horrendous. It's terrible to see how people can treat each other, from the anonymity of a computer screen. But it can also be a very positive thing. It helps people reconnect, allows friends who are separated by distance overcome that and interact more often and with more substance. When's the last time you wrote a letter? Facebook helps people share who they are and what's important to them.
And it was through that online connection that I learned just how lucky I was, how much support and what kind of friends I was blessed to have.
You see, I wasn't alone — not in the fact we don't have family nearby and not in dealing with a difficult situation on my own. Without even knowing what was going on — or even, really, that something was going on at all, friends from long ago were joined by people I have never met in person in showing the true meaning of caring and friendship.
People were there for me in a way it's difficult to describe. We've all seen it — individuals gather to offer encouragement and support, prayers and words of advice. The interesting thing about this wasn't the response of my long-time friends, people I grew up with and who know me. It was those people I've never met or barely know, those whose knowledge of me comes completely from what I've written (and the silly photos I've posted) on a social media site.
It was those people who made me realize just how alone I was not. Were they sitting right there with me? No. But, there were plenty who offered to, who said they were there in spirit and would be in person, if that's what I needed. They helped me work through a bad situation, but they also did something more — they went beyond their own lives in a way some people never do.
That's the beauty of something like Facebook. It gives us the ability to touch someone's life in a positive way, offer them support, encouragement, a light where they might not have seen one. It doesn't matter if someone is facing a health issue or a family matter. Maybe they've lost someone, maybe they just need prayers, need to know there is someone who cares and is thinking of them.
Most of us feel empathy. We see a story that touches us and we might "like" it or make a comment. But, we can move beyond that and remember that the best of who we are can be expressed through our interactions with others. Even if those interactions come through a computer screen.
Our society has changed since I was a child and even a young adult. Many of us are more spread out, we have moved far beyond where we started or even where we thought we might go. Look at the impact the internet as a whole has had on our lives and our jobs. It can be negative, surely, but oh how positive it can be.
For me, I want to work to help others more – through volunteering, community service, giving back for a life that's truly been a gift. But, what I can do – and what we all can do, every day – is let someone know we care. If that's all Facebook and other social media ever is, then it's a pretty darn good thing. And, yes, I'm obsessed with that.
Letter to the Editor
Baseball without tobacco?
Like all baseball fans, I was saddened to learn of the death of Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn in June, and I followed closely the outcry from fans and the sporting world for Major League Baseball to ban smokeless tobacco use among players. I thought it would be a great idea, but would never happen … smokeless tobacco is just a part of the game, right?
So imagine my surprise when my ESPN text alert the week of the MLB All Star Game said the commissioner of baseball and the players association were aiming to eliminate smokeless tobacco use in baseball.
MLB has made some efforts to curb smokeless tobacco use among players, like banning its use in the minor leagues, not providing dip to players, and not allowing tobacco use during interviews. But can professional baseball survive without tobacco, something that seems to have been married to the game as long as anyone can remember? I think yes, and it would be for the best.
Players like Stephen Strasburg of the Nationals and Addison Reed of the Diamondbacks have publicly come out to say they are kicking their tobacco habits because of Gwynn's death. But if baseball can ban the use of smokeless tobacco, future generations of baseball players, from high school through the pros, may not have to quit – because they never started.
Kids want to do everything their favorite players do – from wearing the same cleats and copying their batting stance, to using (or simulating the use of) smokeless tobacco. The tobacco industry already spends millions of dollars marketing smokeless tobacco as grown up and manly; kids don't need to have that message reinforced by their favorite baseball players. Already here in Oklahoma, 21.2 percent of male high school students – more than one in five – use smokeless tobacco.
A ban on smokeless tobacco in professional baseball would not only benefit the health and well-being of current players, but also that of future generations of baseball players at all levels. I commend the commissioner and the players association for even approaching the subject and look forward to seeing what the outcomes are during their next collective bargaining.

Communication missing from water hunt
By Ray Dyer
One word is obviously missing when learning how members of the Central Oklahoma Water Resources Authority, also known as COWRA, were taken by surprise by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board's plan to study the same issues undertaken by the local authority.
That word is communication.
COWRA lobbyist Shawn Lepard said he was planning to discuss the OWRB plan with COWRA members at a meeting in Yukon last Friday. Lepard did not attend the public meeting held last spring in April that was hosted by OWRB. That meeting, also in Yukon, was to gather input from "stakeholders" interested in water issues. Lepard said he thought a COWRA representative was at the meeting, but wasn't for sure.
J.D. Strong, the executive director of the OWRB, said he too believed a COWRA authority member was present, but again he wasn't sure. Lepard said the Yukon meeting was lightly attended, while Strong said it had strong attendance, until told of what Lepard said, then backed away from his earlier statement.
Strong said he and Lepard have worked closely on water issues over the years.
But is Lepard working closely with COWRA, the entity that is paying him a handsome sum of money to help develop a "secure water source" for Canadian County?
When city managers and county commissioners who serve on the COWRA board don't know what's going on until contacted by reporters, the answer may not be yes.
The people who serve on the COWRA board, in my opinion, deserve credit. They are taking on a task, whether right or wrong, apparently without seeking compensation. It appears they are people who are trying to make a difference.
Hats off to that.
Can the same be said for the paid lobbyist?
Don't know. Hope so. But don't know.
Strong and Lepard both said COWRA needs to continue its independent work at finding a source of brackish water. Lepard said the local folks, meaning COWRA, shouldn't expect the state to do for it what it should be doing for itself.
At the same time, Strong said the federal government is no longer interested in building a lake or reservoir so that option is off the table. He agrees, a body of water would produce a far greater economic impact than simply drilling holes in the ground.
"The low hanging fruit is gone," Strong said, referring to a lack of federal support for such an undertaking.
So, COWRA is supposed to be independent, but OWRB isn't? Is that what I'm hearing?
One point that did stick out, at least in my mind, that causes me concern, is that no one from the Oklahoma Water Resource Board or COWRA, from what I can gather, has ever picked up the phone and called the Cheyenne and Arapaho leaders to discuss water.
Oklahoma City is involved in a lawsuit with two powerful Native American tribes over an effort to pull water from lakes in southeastern Oklahoma. How long will it take to get that resolved?
From what I understand, Concho, home of the C&A tribal headquarters, sits on about 6,000 acres. Under this land that runs along the North Canadian River are natural springs. The springs supplied water for cattle drives that moved through here in the 1800s. It gave water to Native Americans and early settlers. From what I'm told, the springs are still running. And yet, no one has picked up the phone and invited the C&A to the water talk table.
Of course, Oklahoma City hasn't been invited to the COWRA table either, even though it's the largest city in Canadian County.
Communication is a big deal.

Navajo Code Talker dies. Chester Nez of Albuquerque, N.M., was among 29 tribal members who developed an unbreakable code that helped win World War II. He was 93 when he died and the last of the original U.S. Marine Code Talkers.
Before hundreds of men from the Navajo Nation became Code Talkers, 29 Navajos were recruited to develop the code based on the then-unwritten Navajo language. Nez was in the 10th grade when he enlisted, keeping his decision a secret from his family and lying about his age, as did many others. It's one of the greatest parts of history that they used their own native language during World War II.
Of the 250 Navajos who showed up at Fort Defiance, Ariz., then a U.S. Army base, 29 were selected to join the first all-Native American unit of the Marines. They were inducted in May 1942. Nez became part of the 382nd Platoon.
Using Navajo words for red soil, war chief, braided hair, beads, ant and hummingbird, for example, they came up with a glossary of more than 200 terms that later were expanded into an alphabet. Nez has said he was concerned the code wouldn't work. At the time, few non-Navajos spoke the language. Even Navajos who did couldn't understand the code. It proved impenetrable.
The Navajos trained in radio communications were walking copies of the code. Each message read aloud by a Code Talker was immediately destroyed. The Japanese did everything in their power to break the code, but they never did.
After World War II, Nez volunteered to serve two more years during the Korean War. He retired in 1974 after a 25-year career as a painter at the Veterans Hospital in Albuquerque.
Nez was eager to tell his family about his role as a Code Talker, but he couldn't. Their mission wasn't declassified until 1968. The accolades came much later – the Code Talkers are now widely celebrated. The original group received Congressional Gold Medals in 2001, and a movie based on the Code Talkers was released the following year. They have appeared on television and in parades and routinely spoke to veterans groups and students.
Nez threw the opening pitch at a 2004 Major League baseball game and offered a blessing for the presidential campaign of John Kerry. In 2012, he received a bachelor's degree from the University of Kansas, where he abandoned his studies in fine arts after money from his GI Bill ran out.
Despite having both legs partially amputated, confining him to a wheelchair, Nez loved to travel, meet people and tell his story.

7.30pm: Thornbury and District Townswomen's Guild Meeting
Cossham Hall, Thornbury
Avril Harley: 'Olveston Handbell Ringers'
Competition: Bell
Sales Table: Christmas
Click to see more events for Thornbury and District Townswomen's Guild.
Meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 7.30pm in the Cossham Hall, Thornbury.
If you are interested in joining the Townswomen's Guild please contact the Chairman Pat Denney for more information at: or on 01454 614232.
For more information about the Townswomen's Guild nationally, click here to visit www.townswomen.org.uk
The primary objective of the Townswomen's Guild movement is 'to advance the education of women irrespective of race, creed and party so as to enable them to make the best contribution towards the common good'.
Groups of women of all ages meet monthly to exchange ideas, learn new skills, raise money for local and international charities and generally have fun!
Townswomen's Guilds grew out of the Women's Social and Political Union or suffragist movement which we in Thornbury Guild commemorate by sometimes turning out in boaters, most recently at the Thornbury Carnival.
Over its 80 year history the Townswomen's Guild movement has consistently fought for the advancement of women's rights.
Thornbury and District Townswomen's Guild celebrated its 50th Birthday in 2009. It meets in the Cossham Hall on the second Wednesday in the month when there is a short business meeting followed by a speaker or entertainment.
Members run special interest groups for Arts and Crafts, Music, Books, and supporting sick members.
We have been delighted to welcome new members recently, and look forward to welcoming many more in the coming months.
The subscription for 2014 is £28.
October is when Thornbury Guild celebrates its birthday and this year was the 55th. Guests from neighbouring Guilds, the Federation President and Chairman joined members in the Cossham Hall. Pat Denney, Chairman, congratulated Linda Hitchcock and Beth Bebb on their winning photographs in the recent Federation competition.
Names were taken for the Christmas lunch at The Anchor, Oldbury on 3 December, and members were reminded of the Carol Service organised by Willowbrook Guild on 6 December.
Lizzie, Rachel and Sophie, otherwise known as The Lunettes, ably accompanied by Roger on the piano, entertained with a delightful medley of familiar songs from musicals to folk songs to those made famous by The Andrews Sisters of long ago. Their arrangements in three-part harmony were a pleasure to listen to. This very talented group began their performance with "I Feel Pretty" and ended with "When You're Smiling"; Pat Denney thanked them for their superb musicianship and for making the appreciative audience smile.
The evening ended with an excellent American supper and raffle. Next month's meeting is on 12 November when Chris Priddis will give a flower demonstration. The competition is for a flower ornament and there will be a Christmas sales table.

As an MSer, you always hope. Perhaps you dream big, and you wish for a cure. Or you pray for a new form of medication to tackle your most annoying symptoms. In my case, I literally ache for better trigeminal neuralgia treatment before having to resort to surgery to numb or destroy the trigeminal nerve in my face. I also hope that one day, my severe fatigue will be something of the past by having medication that will keep me alert, awake and active without having nasty side effects.
Hoping for a cure? Of course. I am realistic though, as it might not happen in my lifetime. Simply being part of the solution, is all I wish for right now. Whichever comes first, the 8,000 people with MS in Ireland, 100,000 in the UK, 400,000 in the US and many other people around the world are looking forward, and simply… hope. Continue reading

Garage door opener remotes don't work
A week ago both of my garage door opener remotes stopped working. They will not open or close the door unless they are within 4 feet of the motor. The wall unit still works like normal. We assumed it must be a logic board issue, so we totally replaced the garage door opener with a new one, Craftsman model 139.53930DM. (I do not know what the model of the old one was, just that it was a Craftsman also.) The new remotes for the new opener will not work, either, same exact problem. What could be the issue, since we replaced everything with new?

Don Durkee
Counselor, EdS, LPC, CPCS, NCC
"People seek counseling because they feel overwhelmed and unable to take active control of their lives. Distress often results from making ineffective responses in familiar situations, unconsciously repeating mistakes. I believe that as people become more aware of the choices they are making and the choices they could make instead, they can gain more personal power and lead more satisfying lives. The goal of counseling is to help clients gain an increased sense of independence and learn to act rather than react; in short, the goal is to enable clients to approach life not as victims, but as volunteers.
