Jail damage
nets charge
Charges were filed against a
former LeFlore County Detention Center inmate after he allegedly flooded part of the jail.
Derik Wayne Taylor, 24, of
Poteau, was charged with injuring or burning a public building.
Court records show Deputy
Donnie Edwards found out there
was a small riot happening inside
the detention center, where Taylor had allegedly broken a sprinkler head that caused the Charlie
Pod and Bravo Pod to flood,
which then caused the fire alarms
to go off. According to the affidavit, Taylor fought the jailers and
deputies that were trying to get
the situation under control.
A warrant was issued for his
arrest last Thursday.

No. 233
A manslaughter charge has
been filed against a Fort Smith
truck driver who allegedly killed
a man in a semi crash while under
the influence of drugs.
The District Attorney’s Office
filed the charge Monday against
David Thad Webb, 58.
According to court records, on
July 3, 2014, Webb was driving a
Freightliner along U.S. Highway
59, about a mile west of Rhino
Road, when he tried to pass a
Ford truck driven by Donnie Lee
Fryhover while Fryhover was
making a left turn.
Webb tried to pass in a nopassing zone, Oklahoma Highway
Patrol Trooper Tim Baker said in
his report. The semi struck Fryhover’s truck on the driver side
and pushed it east into a creek
where it overturned, the semi coming to rest on top of the truck.
Fryhover was pinned inside his
truck and died from his injuries.
Court records said a blood test
performed through the Oklahoma
State Bureau of Investigation
showed Webb had methamphetamine and marijuana in his blood
at the time of the crash.
A warrant was issued for his
arrest Monday.

Bill would shield child rescuers
By Amanda Corbin
PDN Reporter
With the summer months almost
upon us, a bill to give civil immunity
to a person who breaks a car window
to save a child has passed the House
and Senate and was approved by the
governor Monday.
House Bill 1902 passed overwhelmingly through both houses and
was altered to take effect immediately
after being signed by Gov. Mary Fallin.
The bill was authored by Sen. Rob
Johnson and Kyle Loveless but has
since picked up several other coauRushing waters cut away a section in Sumler Road in thors, including Rep. James Lockhart,

and had grown to 23 wagons last.
The bill gives a person immunity
The ride will go from Poteau to the Oklahoma High- “from civil liability for any damage
way 31 junction at noon for lunch at Fashion Statement
courtesy of Danette Been. After lunch, the ride will continue to the Spiro Rodeo Arena where they will camp
Saturday night.
Saturday evening, there will be a live band, auction
and drawing for a Henry lever-action .22-cliber rifle.
Raffle tickets are $5 per chance. Kane Riggs will cook
pork and barbecue beans Saturday night. Attendees asked
to bring side dishes and desserts.
Wagon riders will camp at Moffit Stock Yard on Sunday night and then line up for the Old Fort Days Rodeo
Parade on Monday. Horseback riders are welcome.
All proceeds and donations will go to benefit Emma’s
family.

resulting from the forcible entry of a
motor vehicle for the purpose of
removing a child” in cases of an
emergency.
The bill outlines several guidelines
a person would have to follow. The
door would have to be locked or there
be no other “reasonable method” for
the child to exit the vehicle. The person would have to have “good-faith
belief” that the child is in danger if
not immediately taken out. They
would also need to contact local law
enforcement, fire department or 911
before breaking into the car and place
a note on the windshield with their
contact information, why they broke
into the car, where the child is now
and telling the car owner that the
authorities have been notified.
The bill also says the person would
need to stay with the child in a safe
place reasonably close to the vehicle
until authorities arrive and use no
more force than necessary to break
into the vehicle.
Statistics compiled by www.KidsAndCars.org show 606 children in
the U.S. had died from vehicular heat
stroke as of 2010, 97 percent of those
deaths occurring between 1990 and
2010. Oklahoma had 13 of the reported deaths. Texas was highest at 83
deaths, Florida second with 60 deaths
and California third at 51. Deaths
have increased to 717 as of 2013.
On average, KidsAndCars said, 38
children die inside hot cars each
year.
One child has died so far in 2015.
Experts suggest leaving something
you will need, such as cell phone,
handbag, employee ID or brief case
on the floor in the back seat where the
child is to avoid forgetting they’re
inside the car. Another tip is to leave
a stuffed animal toy in their car seat
or in the back seat when not occupied, then put the toy in the front seat
with you when they’re riding along
as a visual reminder that when the toy
is up front, a child is in back.

Iran is the world’s leading exporter of Islamic terror and our greatest enemy.
Your deal fails to keep Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. It’s time for a reset.
Iran’s constitution commands it to conquer the world through Islamic jihad, and Iran increases its bloody Middle East

Editorial Roundup
— with a free press purpose
Legislation aims at throwing
tax incentives at people willing
to live in unattractive counties
Tulsa World, May 17, 2015
Here’s a bad idea: If people don’t want to live someplace
— if they can’t make a living there or they just can’t imagine
taking their families to such an environment ­— let’s have the
state pay them to move there.
It’s ridiculous on its face, and it’s the premise of House
Bill 1747, which is dangerously close to becoming state
law.
The bill would give a five-year, 100 percent state income
tax exemption — $0 due for five years — to homeowners
who move from out of state to a county projected by the
Oklahoma Department of Commerce to have population
growth of 0.5 percent or less by 2075.
That would apply to 48 of the state’s 77 counties.
A version of the proposal blew through the rural-dominated House Agriculture and Wildlife Conference Committee
on Tuesday.
There’s no evidence this plan will actually do anything to
stop shrinking counties from shrinking.
The Oklahoma Policy Institute recently pointed out that
the idea is based on a Kansas law that created a tax exemption in 50 counties in 2012 and another 23 counties in
2013.
The first 50 counties had a net loss of 473 people due to
migration from 2010 to 2011. In the three years since the tax
break was created, the counties had an average annual loss
of 713 people. They shrank faster.
In the counties added in 2013, there was a net migration
loss of 1,121 the year before the incentive and an average
loss of 1,003 residents since then. The shrinking continued.
By the way, why would we want to base our fiscal model
on Kansas, a state facing an $800 million budget shortfall?
Beyond the lack of evidence, the premise of the incentive
is bad.
If the incentive works, it will amount to the state of
Oklahoma picking winners and losers among the counties
instead of allowing the natural effect of the marketplace to
rule.
It would lead to all sorts of ways to game the system.
Here’s an example: Get a job in a growing county, live just
across the county line in a shrinking county and commute to
work on a state highway you don’t have to pay for. Of
course, five years later, when the exemption runs out, you
can move closer to your job.
That’s the fundamental flaw of the legislation. If people
don’t want to live in a dying county, throwing a tax incentive
at them will only work, so much as it will work at all, as long
as you keep throwing the money. The underlying issues with
the shrinking county will still be there when the money
stops.
We aren’t hard-hearted toward the problems of shrinking
rural communities. A way of life is threatened by the erosion
of population loss. Attracted by the bright lights and big
salaries of the cities, children leave and return only for holidays. It’s painful to see, more painful to live.
But that’s the reality of life in a market-driven world.
People move toward better opportunities. If you want the
trend to reverse, change the market conditions — create better opportunities in your rural community.
In a year when lawmakers said they were finally going to
be rational about tax incentives, suddenly they aren’t.
In a year when the state budget is $611 million short of
breaking even and projections are for the situation to be as
bad or worse next year, the Legislature is toying with another effort to undercut the state’s ability to pay for its own
government.
Amazing.
As in amazingly bad idea.

The public furor and the
televised flames that
reached from Ferguson to
Baltimore over the last 10
months have faded — for
now — from the headlines.
For some, though, consideration of what happened and how the news of
those events was reported
remains very much in mind
— an aspect of First
Amendment freedoms we
don’t often consider.
The first 45 words of the
Bill of Rights protect religious liberty and freedom
of speech, press, assembly
and petition from government suppression, direction
or prohibition. In doing so,
it also provides us with the
mechanisms to change the
way our nation works.
But it’s up to us to use
those mechanisms, and
revisiting and reviewing
are methods to that end.
Most recently, at a journalists roundtable in
Washington, D.C., there
was some frank discussion
about how the news media
report on protests and violence — how some do it
well and others don’t.
Advocates and critics of a
free press both could find
something of interest in
that three-hour discussion.
For some, it started with
what to call the events in
Baltimore. “Who decided it
... was it a ‘riot’?” asked
one attendee.
For some, it was overheated rhetoric to use words
like “riots” and “thugs” on
the air, or to run headlines
of the kind that said
“Baltimore is Burning,”
noting that that looting and
violent incidents were confined to a near-downtown
neighborhood and a few
other areas of the city.
But others said “riot”
was appropriate, used by
city officials, as well as in
news media reports. And
some said they called the
events “unrest” or “pockets
of rioting,” to put the city’s
situation more accurately
and into perspective.
The time pressures on
today’s news media emphasize tweeting, going “live”
from the scene and to
update at an instant — all
robbing journalists and
news consumers of the ability to present and receive
perspective and context, a
number of attendees said.
But new digital opportunities also make it possible
for a reporter broadcasting
a brief on-air report to produce a longer report for the
online version of the news
outlet. WTOP reporter
Mike Murillo, who reported on-the-street from
Baltimore, said the combination of the station’s
quick-reporting on-air format and longer website
posts offered flexibility. “I
was able to go where the
story took me,” he said.
Too often, many said,
journalists report only the
immediate event, focused
Guest Column
Gene Policinsky
on “the symptoms, not the
problem itself,” such as a
decades-long absence of
jobs for the unskilled. One
reporter said he “saw people who just wanted a good
quote, instead of talking to
people. There was shoddy
reporting, because folks
didn’t take the time.” But
WEAA’s Carla Wills noted
that the Morgan State
University public radio station was able to use its
long-time community ties,
knowing “who to call and
where to get the story.”
And then there was an
account about a national
TV reporter and his producer who wanted to keep
young men on the street
after 10 p.m. ET to be on a
“live shot,” even though it
meant the men would be
violating a newly imposed
curfew — a tactic decried
by discussion attendees as
“manufactured” news, not
journalism.
The meeting was the latest in a continuing series of
roundtable discussions led
by national columnist
Richard Prince, who writes
“Richard Prince’s Journalisms” for the Maynard
Institute, focused on the
issue of diversity in
American news media. (He
posted a summary of the
discussion, a source used
here as well as my own
notes).
Why is just one such
meeting worth noting? It’s
just one of many such sessions that go on, small and
large, daily among journalists on how to improve the
craft — a positive process
all too often drowned out
by the negativity of those
motivated to diminish the
impact and engagement of
a free press that reports on
their actions and decisions.
And, as a mentor of mine
once offered, while each
life is a grand novel, the
reality is that most live that
life “in paragraphs” — in
day-to-day events and decisions. Perhaps the grand
and ongoing effort to
improve a free press also
rests with meetings that
aren’t so much sweeping
works of journalism as they
are “paragraphs” for
improvement.

He did it his way
I was about 16 years old
when Hershel Lester, our
FFA teacher, took us on a
field trip. Mr. Lester was
intrigued by a young
rancher who had shunned
the traditional practice of
purebred cattle for crossbred cattle ranching. To
the north was Hereford
country and to the south
were Angus cattle, but Mr.
Lester was buying into the
idea of more vigor and
economic profit in crossbred cattle and thought we
boys should hear this story
from the young rancher —
which proved to be true.
Little did I know that
day there was much more
to this young rancher than
owning a cattle ranch in
Cameron and that our paths
would cross again.
He
wasn’t
from
Cameron, but found his
way here following a stint
with the Army-Air Corps,
getting married and buying a piece of the property
at a sheriff’s sale. On his
way here, he got stuck in
the road between Sallisaw
and Poteau. In the distance, he could see a house
and walked to ask the
farmer if he could pull him
out. Upon arrival, he found
the house on his new property drafty — you could
see through the floors and
walls. He and his wife —
who we affectionately call
“Granny” — put some
linoleum on the floors,
some thick wallpaper on
the walls and they began a
lifetime of cattle ranching.
There were no golden
parachutes to rely on, but
both husband and wife had
a track record of self reliance, hard work and perseverance. The two of them

ranching work. They lived
the American dream; started with nothing, worked
hard, became respected
and proved to be among
very best at what they did.
How many of us can say
that?
Often times, I would see
our friend and family at
lunch. He would come
over and share what books
he was reading and would
ask if I would like to borrow any. He was a wellread man. I always enjoyed
hearing his stories and
what he had to say.
He would have been 92
this July. Those of you
who did not know Bud
French and the inspiring
story and example of a
person who was able to
live life just as he wanted,
missed out on one of the
true great Americans living right here with us.
I will miss him. He was
exactly the kind of person
I wake up every morning
wanting to meet. RIP, Bud

Poteau soccer players honored
at Tuesday night’s banquet
By David Seeley
PDN Sports Editor
Tuesday night’s awards banquet for
the Poteau Lady Pirates and Pirates soccer teams at the First United Methodist
Church capped off banner seasons for both
teams.
The Lady Pirates were 10-5-2, were
runners-up in the Greenwood [Ark.] Tournament and made the playoffs for the first
time in school history — including winning their playoff opener.
At Tuesday night’s banquet, Poteau
girls assistant coach Shanna Hall showed
the two key trophies from Greenwood that
arrived Monday — the team runner-up
plaque and Josie Garrett’s All-Tournament
Team trophy. Then, Hall handed out the
postseason honors.
Brianna Battiest and Allison Matos were
the Co-Newcomers of the Year for 2015.
Bailee Bates [offense], Garrett and Taylor
Darneal [midfielders] and Kaitlyn Henderson [defense] were awarded specialized
Most Valuable Player plaques, while goalkeeper Taryn Shelton got the team’s MVP.
Four Lady Pirates were named to the
All-District Team — Bates, Darneal, Jennifer Marvin and Haley Hall, while Garrett, Mallory Clark and Gwen Clark were
honorable mention all-district.
Shelton also was named as an alternate All-Stater for the Oklahoma Soccer
Coaches Association’s All-State Game,
which will be at 6 p.m. June 11 at Noble,
located just south of Norman. Should an
East team All-Stater not be able to play in
the game, Shelton could be chosen as a replacement.
The Lady Pirates then gave all their
moms special tokens of thanks for all the
work they do.
Melissa Holcomb awarded Clay [girls]
and Vikas Bhakta [boys] the 2015 Paige
Underwood All-Heart Awards. Holcomb,
Underwood’s mother, created these awards
in memory of her daughter, who was killed
in an automobile accident near Calhoun on
the next-to-the last day of school in May
17, 2012. Since the 2013 season, the Lady
Pirate uniforms have a No. 8 patch [Underwood’s number] and that number has
been retired in her memory.
For the Pirates, who made it to the Class
4A state semifinals for the second straight
season and went 11-1-1 this season, Kaegan Clark was the Newcomer of the Year,
David Lanuza the Offensive MVP, Connor Matos the Midfielder MVP and Jesse
Barnes the Defensive MVP and overall
team MVP awards.
Seven Pirates were named to the AllDistrict Team, since they were the outright district champions — Matos, Barnes,
Bryan Gutierrez, Kanaan Hardaway, Cuco
Bustos, Braylee Garcia and Grant Buckles.
Lanuza and Carlos Panduro were named
to the East All-State Team and will play in
the All-State Game at 8 p.m. June 11 in
Noble. Goalkeeper Jayson Davis and Davis Kuck were named All-State alternates
and could play in the game should one or
more current East All-Staters not be able
to play.
Kuck ended the boys presentation portion of the awards banquet by giving
coaches Neto Silva and Kyle Hardaway tokens of the Pirates’ appreciation. All three
coaches in attendance at Tuesday night’s
banquet, Silva, Hardaway and Hall, were
given tokens of appreciation by the players
on behalf of the Kick-It Club, the booster
club for the Pirates and Lady Pirates.

Bernal’s double in ninth inning
lifts Arkansas over Tennessee
HOOVER, Ala. (AP)
— Michael Bernal’s ninthinning double scored the
winning run to lead Arkansas over Tennessee 2-1
on Tuesday in the opening
round of the Southeastern
Conference Tournament.
The win advanced
Arkansas (34-20) into a
Wednesday game against
fourth-seeded
Florida,
when the tournament’s
format switches to double
elimination.
Tennessee
(24-26) was eliminated.
Arkansas needed a twoout rally in the ninth to win.
After the first two Razorbacks were retired, a Rick
Nomura single, followed
by Bernal’s double to left
field ended the game.
Trey Killian started on
the mound for the Razorbacks, giving up just one
run over 7.2 innings. Zach
Jackson (5-0) earned the
win, throwing 1.1 innings
of scoreless relief.
Tennessee swept Mississippi State last weekend to earn the final spot
in the SEC Tournament,
but managed just four hits
against the Razorbacks.

Warriors rally past Rockets
in Game 1 of West finals
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)
— Down big at home, the
Golden State Warriors went
small.
It turned out to make a
huge difference.
Stephen Curry hit two
free throws in the final
seconds to finish with 34
points, and the Warriors
rallied from a 16-point deficit in the second quarter to
beat the Houston Rockets
110-106 on Tuesday night
in Game 1 of the Western
Conference finals.
With the Rockets seemingly ready to rout the
home team, the Warriors
used a smaller line-up featuring 6-foot-7 Draymond
Green at center and closed
the first half on a 21-4 run.
Shaun Livingston scored 14
of his 18 points in the quarter, helping Golden State go
ahead 58-55 at halftime.
The Warriors held off
James Harden and Houston
in the fourth quarter again
behind their undersized
line-up, which worked especially well after Rockets
center Dwight Howard departed with a left knee injury.
"It really stretches people out," Warriors coach
Steve Kerr said of his lineup full of shooters. "Houston does the same thing.
It was an interesting chess
match, because they like to
go small and we like to go
small."
Harden, the runner-up
to Curry in the Most Valuable Player voting, nearly
brought the Rockets back
without Howard in the
fourth. Harden finished
with 28 points, 11 rebounds,
nine assists and four steals,
but his late push fell short.

HOROSCOPE

Last
Thursday, May 21, 2015
You are a unique and creative
individual. Start doing more for
yourself and less of what everyone else thinks you should do.
Regaining control over your life
will strengthen your character
and increase your self-confidence.
This is your year to put your
needs first and reap the rewards.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Communicating with a distant
friend or relative will remind you
of your earlier goals. Revisit
those ideas and start researching
ways to get yourself back on
track.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- It may be flattering to be the
object of attention, but a charismatic con artist may be leading
you on. Rumors and gossip can
fuel resentment and jealousy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- Proceed slowly and carefully.
You are likely to miss an important detail or opportunity if you
are in too much of a hurry.
Double-check your work to
ensure accuracy.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Don't let the negativity of others prevent you from getting
where you want to go. You will
stifle opposition if you move
ahead with determination. Your
success will be proof that you are
right.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Make plans for a solitary day.
Trying to get along with others or
convincing them to follow your
lead will be difficult. You can get
more done on your own.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- You can make great progress
by staying focused. Don't get
caught up in what others are saying or doing. If you stick to your
game plan, you will come out on
top.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
-- The benefits of assisting others
will be satisfying. Your generous
spirit will inspire others, and your
popularity will grow. You will
gain the attention of an important
mentor.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Someone will try to set you up
for a fall. Be honest and own up
to any error you make. Blaming
others will make you seem
untrustworthy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Romance is in the air. If you are
single, this is the perfect time to
meet someone special. If you are
not, show how devoted you are to
your loved one.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- You have control over your
future. Educate yourself and make
social and business connections
that will give you an edge over
the competition. Take charge and
excel.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- Limit your spending. Pay down
any charges that are incurring
interest. Your hard work will be
wasted if you can't stick to a realistic budget. Excess and
indulgence are your enemies.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- An entertaining day with family
and friends will cheer you up. A
game or challenge will shake up
your usual routine and provide
you with a pleasant and
humorous diversion.

ant for trees, this is what it will
smell like. But it's not what the
country smells like.
When I hear people say they
wish they lived in the country
because the cities have become
so dirty, I wonder – do they
know that the country has a dirt
floor? It is filthy. It is full of
mud, bugs, rotting pine needles,
decomposing mushrooms, twigs,
worms and slugs. It has dust
bunnies the size of – oh, never
mind, those aren't dust bunnies,
they are real bunnies. And those
are real bunny droppings. And
most of the other wild animals
don't pick up after themselves,
either. The country is where dirt
comes from.
Someone over at Air Freshener
Central is living in a fantasy universe where the country is taken
out and dry cleaned twice a
week. They are, however, right
about one thing. If you want a lot
of bang for your fragrance buck,
you can't beat the country. It's
wonderfully smelly. An everchanging mixture of odors from
septic systems, frightened
skunks, mown hay, freshly
spread manure, fermenting
silage, stagnant water, damp
leaves, compost heaps, dead fish,
deer carcasses, pollen – you
name it, it's out there.
Does that sound like something
you'd want to spray around your
living room, even if it does
remove the odor of cooking from
your curtains? And what are you
cooking that smells so horrible?
Maybe it's time you got a new
recipe book or stop cooking the
chitlins indoors. Trust me, no
one ever walks into a bakery and
says, "Ugh, this place stinks!"
And yet no one sells "Donut
Shop" air freshener. It's always
pine needles. What is it with pine
needles? Why not coffee air
freshener, or toast or bacon?
I do worry about household
odors, not like I worry about
nuclear war or tornadoes or
Ebola. Still, we don't want visitors to our house saying things
like, "Oh, they're nice enough,
but that cat smell ..." Hey, it's
not the cat – it's her box. You'd
think someone would make cat
litter that smells better than
what the cat does in it. Alas,
cat litter science has been a
miserable failure.
Sure, there are pleasant country odors, too – burning wood
in the fall, flowers in the
spring, new-mown hay in the
summer, crisp, clear, cold fresh
snow in the winter, but when
you hear advertisers romanticize the country, cover your
eyes and ears. Every time you
hear the words "fresh mountain stream water," ask yourself where frogs live and die
before you start guzzling it.
Of course, the air freshener
industry doesn't really care
what the country smells like.
All they know is that an air
freshener called "Scent of the
City" would sit on the store
shelf from now until the end of
time. The mental whiff of garbage piled up on street corners
mixed with smog, bubble gumcovered sidewalks baking in
the hot sun, rolling clouds of
bus exhaust, gutters full of
fast-food containers and
unscooped dog poop would be
a hard sell.
The funny thing is, they
would make it smell exactly
like "Fresh New Country
Scent" – a woodsy, pine-needle
scent with a hint of a doorman's uniform and new-car
plastic. The only thing different about it would be that
instead of a picture of trees and
mountains, the can of "Scent of
the City" would feature a picture of a big city skyline.
