Opportunities helping needy for yuleOpportunities Inc. is helping clients that missed the Christmas Connec-tion in Clinton, and those that live outside of Clinton and Weatherford. Since Clinton and Weatherford only helped people from their towns, Op-portunities is trying to help with all children in the area and surrounding towns. The agency totally depends on donations for its programs, and this year it has received no monetary funds and no toys. Two individuals have come forward with toys for the families needing gifts. So far, in the fami-lies Opportunities has helped out, the parents are working and just don’t have extra funds for the Christmas dinner or gifts. The agency sees just as many people after the holidays who need help, too. Anyone who would like to make a donation can call (580) 323-4373. Here, Nancy Keeler Jones, right, is giving some gift items to Teffany Whedbee.

grant during its most recent audit year for improvements to Clinton Regional Airport, and the rest was connected to the city using its bond-ing capacity to help the Clinton Public Schools finance their big all-cam-pus improvement pro-gram in 2010. She said it really had nothing at all to do with the city’s own finances.
On the expense side, water costs rose the most – approximately $362,000, or 11 percent – with public safety and judiciary (mostly police and fire protection) up $267,000, or 10 percent, and economic develop-ment up $257,000, or 29 percent. No doubt the new fire station figured in the public safety rise.
Water costs for the year exceeded income by $737,000, primarily be-cause of overages bought
from the Foss Reservoir Master Conservancy District. (The audit covered a period before the drought forced Foss
directors to put a limit on how much water the city could buy above its contracted allotment.)
Total revenues for Fiscal Year 2013-14 were $16.8 million compared to $17.9 million for FY 2012-13.
Expenses were just over $17 million in FY ’13-14 versus $15.6 mil-lion in ’12-13.
The audit also contains a brief synopsis by Ms. Blanchard, the trea-surer. In it, she wrote in part:
“Clinton has seen its financial condition improve and is seeing some growth in the local economy. The City’s goal is to build reserves and invest in the future. The City has some obliga-tions that it must main-tain with past projects and purchases. The City must continue to make prudent financial man-agement decisions and continue to progress,
reinvest in infrastruc-ture, and continue to plan for the long-term quality of future genera-tions in Clinton. Serving the public trust requires the best possible balance of allocation to meet the varied needs of all citi-zens. . . .”
Also contained is a brief summary from the 2014-15 budget which states:
“Sales tax has become more consistent with normal historical levels within this economic environment. Clinton continues to battle ag-ing infrastructure with a large looming water project agreement in the near future. Due to these factors, no COLA (cost-of-living allowance) has been implemented. Health insurance (for employees) is estimated to increase only 2 per-cent. Areas such as Golf and Acme (Brick Park) continue to see a large subsidy. Minimal changes were made to departments’ day-to-day activities. Reserves and contingency for emer-gencies were considered planned. Retail economic development is empha-sized. Service demands increase, and retail is pushed to offset commu-nity needs and keep local tax dollars in the com-munity.
“The City budget provides the financial resources necessary to continue the current level of City services, meet the increasing de-mand of infrastructure issues, and position the community for contin-ued growth.”

Before the season, Clin-ton High head wrestling coach Shawn Finch gives his wrestlers a booklet that, among other things, lists team goals for the season.
Finch read off a couple of them Wednesday as his team was prep-ping for the Max Dipple Weatherford Tournament that begins today.
“Our goals are to be undefeated in duals and to be in the top three in
every tour-nament,” Finch said.
It’s a safe bet that the team goal for this weekend is higher than third
place. The Reds were runners-up to Texas power Amarillo High in last year’s Weatherford Tournament. Amarillo, which finished fifth in the state last year in the team standings, is back to defend its title from a year ago.
Finch was not ready to make predic-tions about winning the event, but he does have a team
that looks ready to make a run at winning its second tournament title this young season. The Reds won the Little Axe tournament to start the 2014-15 campaign, and are undefeated in road duals at Geary and Elgin.
“We’ve got momentum going in,” Finch said. “We weren’t very crisp in wrestling Geary but when we went to Elgin we fixed those things.”
The tournament at Weatherford High School begins at 3 p.m. Friday, with Saturday’s final matches starting at noon. Finch said he will be tak-ing 27 wrestlers, includ-ing junior varsity grap-plers, to the event.
Finch said other team title contenders include Carl Albert, Western Heights and Elk City. Winning the event would be good, Finch said, but the team’s goals include runs at individual and team state titles and this tournament serves to get his wrestlers ready for those future events.
“At this point in time we feel like there is more to accomplish,” Finch said. “We want to wrestle two or three good match-es in a row because that’s what it takes to be a state champion. You get that in a tournament.”
Clinton crowned three
individual champions in last year’s Weatherford Tournament. One was senior David Flores, who captured the title at 160 pounds. This year Flores is wrestling at 170.
Daniel Lopez had also been wrestling at 170 after coming over from football but will drop to 160 pounds beginning this weekend.
“That’s the best natural weight for him and it’s best for the team,” Finch said.
With Lopez dropping down, Flores will have 170 to himself. Finch said Greyson Weedon is slated to move down to 152 after the holiday break.
Lopez placed second in the event at 152 last year as a freshman, one of five Clinton wrestlers to earn runner-up finishes. The others all return: Bodhi Hines, Seth Glance, Luis Martinez and Jordan Metheny.
Hines lost to an Ama-rillo wrestler in the finals last year at 120, but is at 126 this season. A state
qualifier a year ago, Hines is unbeaten this season at 5-0.
Hines kicks off a Clinton strength in the middle weights this sea-son, as he is followed by
Glance at 132, Martinez (138) and senior newcom-er Cole Sanchez (145).
Sanchez was a student at Weatherford High School last year. As a ju-
nior he was third for the Eagles in last year’s Wea-therford Tournament at 138 pounds. He’ll wrestle this weekend at 145, com-ing in with a 2-2 record so far this season.
Sanchez said the fact the tournament is at his old school – and Clinton’s fiercest rival – won’t mat-ter to him.
“I’m just going to go in there and wrestle and not worry about the Clinton-Weatherford rivalry,” he said.
Clinton appears strong in the other ends of its lineup in the lower and upper weights, as well as the middle weights. Many of them are young but the Weatherford Tourna-ment will be a chance for experience against solid
competition.In a 57-12 rout of Elgin
in their last dual, Hayden Williams at 106 pounds and Dason Hicks (113) won by fall. In the Little Axe tournament, Gon-
zalo Rivera (113) and Jeff McDow (120) won their weights.
Jordan Metheny (152) and Zach Acosta (220) also won their weights in that tournament.

Have your kids started asking for cell phones or mobile devices of their own? Usage of mobile devices is growing among the younger set.
In fact, 45 percent of parents say they have already purchased or plan to purchase mobile de-vices for their kids. Today, 25 percent of all students in grades kindergarten through 12 carry a phone to school every day accor-ding to the Grunewald Mo-bile Learning Study.
The Oklahoma Society of Certified Public Ac-countants offers the fol-lowing advice for parents considering taking the plunge and getting a mo-bile device for their child.
Is ChIld Ready?Age is one thing to con-
sider, but so is maturity level. Is the child up for the responsibility of own-ing a mobile device?
A phone is a big obliga-tion. Before making a purchase, it wouldn’t hurt to go over a few rules for owning a mobile device.
Parents can make up their own rules or even draft a contract similar to the one at www.About-Parenting.com.
PRe-PaId oR seCond lIne?
There are many options available, but a parent should determine which would work best for one’s budget and the child’s needs.
One option is to go with pre-paid service. With this type, one only pays for a certain amount of minutes at a time, but if the child uses the phone often, the parent might be bugged to pay for additional min-utes.
However, one also won’t have to worry about the child racking up extra charges on the monthly bill and there is no con-tract involved.
If the child wants a phone with all the bells and whistles, then the phone prices are usually hefty because one pays the regular retail price.
Another option is by
adding another line to one’s account, it can be a more economical choice in order to get a phone with all of the features, plus one may be eligible for a family discount. These plans also offer discounts on phones.
lImIts?Does the parent want to
limit the amount of time his or her child can be on the phone? Going with a plan that has only a cer-tain amount of minutes might be a good choice.
However, if the child goes over the allotted minutes, fees can mount quickly, especially if one isn’t closely watching the usage.
On the other hand, if one chooses an unlimited plan, there aren’t likely to be any additional fees, but one will usually pay more for the plan each month.
What about data?Besides talking, does
the parent want the child to text and have Internet access on their mobile device?
A phone without data may save one some money, but most want to send and receive text messages. If one wants the child to text or surf the web, he or she will need to consider a data plan, which can also be limited or unlimited
depending on one’s pref-erence. Unlimited plans generally cost more than plans that are limited.
PaRental ContRols?Most major phone carri-
ers have parental controls that can be purchased for an additional cost. While the features do vary for different providers, some allow one to view usage from a computer or mobile device.
There is also a content filter available for brows-ing online and a GPS feature to locate the child. One can also limit con-tacts and block certain in-coming messages. Certain mobile devices also have features within the phone that can be adjusted.
safety KeyA quick safety lesson is
also not a bad idea. While we know it’s dangerous to text and drive, it’s also un-safe to text while walking and not paying attention to where one is going.
Unknown callers or texts from strangers should be verified before respond-ing and kids should be extremely careful about giving out their phone numbers.
It also doesn’t hurt to re-mind them that they need to protect their phone by not dropping it or leaving it out where just anyone can have access.
However, because kids will be kids, one may want to investigate device insur-ance through the carrier.
For a monthly fee, one can often insure his or her device, but there are usually additional costs involved and, as with any insurance, there are limi-tations.

Daughter refuses to open door mom’s new beau
Half of calories from sugar alcohols count as carbs
DEAR ABBY: I have been divorced for more than a year and recently started dating a very nice man, “John.” My eldest daughter and her children live with me. I’d like to be able
to invite John over to our house, but my daughter doesn’t want “strange men” around her kids, which I understand. I tried suggesting that she meet John before assuming that he is a strange man, but she’s hesitant about meeting him.
Abby, I’d like to be able to spend some nights at home with him in-stead of always going out. It hurts because I have allowed the father of her children to live with us, yet I can’t have someone I care about visit me at the home I work hard to pay for.
Please, Abby. I need advice on how to make my relationship with him and her work. — STRESSED IN THE MIDWEST
DEAR STRESSED: I wish I had more information about your daughter and her attitude. Did she disapprove of your divorce from her father and harbor hopes that
you will reconcile? Could she be worried that if you and John become serious, she will have to find an-other place to live? That she’d refuse to even meet him seems peculiar.
It was generous of you to allow her children’s father to live under your roof. (Has he left yet?) No-tice that I said “under YOUR roof.” If you want to entertain a guest, as the person who pays the mort-gage, that should be your privilege. If that makes her uncomfortable, perhaps it would be better if she took the children to their father’s or another relative’s place for the evening.
You are entitled to live your life without your daughter controlling you, but it appears that may be exactly what she’s trying to do.
DEAR DOCTOR K: I have Type 2 diabetes. Many low-carb and sugar-free products contain “sugar alcohols.” What are they? Do they count as carbohydrates?
DEAR READER: Type 2 diabetes is marked by el-evated levels of blood glucose, or sugar. Untreated or poorly controlled diabetes can lead to serious com-plications including heart attacks, kidney failure, amputation and blindness.
An important part of controlling blood sugar involves making healthy food choices. People with diabetes should be particularly mindful of carbohy-drates. Carbohydrates are like a chain with a num-ber of links. When a carbohydrate with many links
enters your stomach and intestine, it is broken down into multiple small pieces. The smallest piece, the single link in the chain, is primarily what is absorbed into the blood. The most important small sugar is glucose.
Table sugar is a two-link carbo-hydrate that is easily broken down into glucose. If you were to swallow 10 teaspoons of table sugar, it would quickly enter your bloodstream. That’s not good. You want to eat carbohydrates that are broken down in the gut more slowly so that they enter the bloodstream more slowly.
We’ve talked about this concept before: Foods that contain carbohy-drates that are rapidly broken down
into glucose have a high glycemic index and high gly-cemic load. A steady diet of such foods is not healthy for people with diabetes — or for anyone else.
Carbohydrates are the major component of bread, pasta, cereals, fruit, milk, vegetables and beans. They have more of an impact on blood sugar levels than fats and proteins do.
For years, doctors advised people with diabetes to avoid table sugar or foods with lots of sugar. That’s still good advice, of course. But these days, the taboo against sugar has been replaced by an emphasis on overall carbohydrate control.
What does that mean? First, limit carbs to about half of your total calories for the day. Equally impor-tant, primarily eat carbohydrates with a low glyce-mic load.
You asked about the many so-called sugar-free foods that contain sugar alcohols. Examples of sugar alcohols (also called polyols) include sorbitol, xyli-tol and mannitol. These sweeteners are often found in sugar-free chewing gum, candy, cookies and ice cream.
Polyols do contain some calories and carbohy-drates. But only half of the sugar alcohol is digested and absorbed into the bloodstream. On the other hand, nearly all the table sugar in the diet enters the blood. If you count carbohydrates, as many people with diabetes do, count half the calories from sugar alcohols as carbohydrates.
Products containing sugar alcohols do have draw-backs. If eaten in large quantities, for example, they can have a laxative effect.
In summary, reach for healthy sources of carbo-hydrates — vegetables and fruits — over candy and soft drinks. And choose whole grains such as brown rice, whole-wheat flour and rolled oats over refined carbs such as white rice, white flour, white pasta and instant oatmeal. You’ll be doing your blood sugar a favor while getting a lot more nutritional bang for your buck.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You will be im-patient, but that doesn’t mean you should gossip or make someone look bad.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Making solid invest-ments before the end of the year will help increase your finances.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Positive results are im-minent if you keep your promises. Think before you speak, or you may inadvertently cause embarrass-ment to someone who looks up to you.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Despite your hard work, your plans and projects will fall short. Someone will try to take advantage of your good nature.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — It will be difficult to get your ideas off the ground by yourself. Utilize your skills.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — If you are seeking inspi-ration, study different cultures, countries or subjects that interest you. There are many ways to expand your knowledge and stimulate your mind.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Someone will try to dis-credit you. Make sure you accurately present yourself and what you have to offer.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Romance will brighten your day. Plan to do something special with a loved one. Personal adjustments made now will enable you to take on a number of new challenges in the coming year.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — There are tremendous per-sonal changes happening. Whatever has been hold-ing you back will be rectified, allowing you to move forward. It’s time to try something new and exciting.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — No matter what you do, you will not be able to please everyone. In the end, you need to do what you feel is right. Don’t feel obliged to answer for your choices.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You can expand your so-cial and professional connections if you participate in an organization that you believe in.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Someone you care about won’t appreciate the extra hours you put in at work, but the financial results will be well worth it.
