Buyers at the Noble County Spring Livestock Show next Thursday will have the opportunity to win a couple of really nice prizes.

Each person who makes a purchase during the premium sale will receive a ticket for a drawing of one of two prizes, which have been made possible by two businesses and the four 4-H/FFA groups: Perry, Billings, Morrison and Frontier.

From Kennedy’s True Value, a Traeger wood pellet grill valued at $999

will be given away. The second prize is a Yeti cooler from Kinnunen of Stillwater, valued at $450.

The drawing will be held at the conclusion of the premium sale, and one must be present to win.

4-H and FFA students are currently distributing 2015 Noble County Spring Livestock Show booklets which have a color photograph of each 4-H/FFA member from Perry, Billings, Frontier and Morrison who will be exhibiting, with a brief biography of each member and what animals they are showing.

The public is encouraged to come out and support these students who have achieved success with their projects. The show is held at the Noble County Fairgrounds.

The show will begin at 5 p.m. Monday with the swine show and continue through Thursday, concluding with a chuck wagon feed for all exhibitors, parents and premium buyers. The meal will be served in the women’s building at 4:30 p.m. and will be followed by the premium sale at 6:30 p.m. in the show arena.

A Traeger wood pellet grill and a Yeti cooler will be given away to some lucky premium buyer next Thursday at the Noble County Livestock Show premium sale. Pictured with the items are, from left, Randy Henderson, Frontier FFA Advisor; Colton Lane, Austin Sawyer, Callie Lane, Kelsey Hawk, Maddie Evans, Taelor Baetz and Kyle

Shaylie Hamilton; fourth hour — “Girl in Red” by Dallan Thomas; fifth hour — “Captive” by Chloe VanZant; and sixth hour — “Senior Year” by Zoe Freeman. Voted the 2015 February Fever Champion was Dallan Thomas with his story titled “Girl in Red.”

Mirrors of yesterday

ISOLATED TEEN SHOULD TURN TO TRUSTED ADULTS FOR HELP

DEAR ABBY: I am a teenager who went through some emotional stuff a couple of years ago. It was horrible. My parents thought it was just a phase, so I had to deal with it myself until it got better.

I don’t feel like I can communicate with my parents. If I try, I’m afraid they’ll just downplay it again.

I feel so alone sometimes. Even when I’m happy I still have this feeling of sadness. Then suddenly, I feel angry for no reason, and I hate it. Other times, I get so anxious I don’t know what to do. I feel like my friends don’t like me, even though nothing is wrong. I feel stuck.

Most people say it’s because I’m a teenager, and that’s what I try to tell myself, but it doesn’t work. I don’t know what to do. What do you think, Abby? — ANONYMOUS IN THE U.S.A.

DEAR ANONYMOUS: I’m sorry that when you tried to tell your parents you were in pain they didn’t take you seriously. While the feelings you’re having may be caused by “raging teenage hormones,” they could also be a symptom of something more. That’s why I’m suggesting you talk to another trusted adult about your feelings — the parent of one of your close friends, a counselor at school or your pediatrician, if you have one. It never hurts to have a “reality check” every once in a while, and when you share what’s going on in your head with someone who has more life experience, it can give you a better perspective.

———DEAR ABBY: This time last year, I read a letter

from a young woman whose live-in boyfriend doesn’t get her anything for Valentine’s Day.

I have been married to my husband for 28 years. When we were first married, I was often disappointed because he was never good at getting me gifts on holidays. Every year I would remind him ahead of time.

But gradually over the years, I began to realize that the gifts were not important. He has been the best husband I could ask for. He knows me better than anyone else. He adopted my two young girls and has been a wonderful father to them.

Throughout the year we do almost everything together. He loves to shop with me, and I buy what I want for my birthday or whatever. When holidays come around, we acknowledge them to each other and do something together for the day if we can.

A few years ago he was very ill and almost died. I am so grateful for him every day. I couldn’t ask for more. The material gifts are unimportant. — MARY M. IN MINNESOTA

DEAR MARY: Thank you for an upper of a letter. You are a woman who clearly has her priorities straight. I told the young woman who wrote that letter that she’d feel less “deprived” if she focused not on what she ISN’T getting out of the relationship, but more on what she IS. You reinforced this beautifully.

Readers, on this “day of love,” I’d like you to know that you make writing this column a joy. I wish you all a very happy Valentine’s Day.

known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

President’s Day is the holiday traditionally set aside by Americans to honor the life and birthday of George Washington. At his Virginia plantation, he raised tobacco, distilled whiskey, brewed beer and grew hemp. He was recognized by young people throughout the Colonies as the Father of Spring Break.

Charles Manson broke off his engagement to his L.A. fiancee Tuesday. He learned she’d planned to claim his corpse when he dies in prison, place his body inside a glass display crypt and then sell tickets to see it. So to everybody who voted a month ago that this story couldn’t get any weirder, you lost.

Tennessee lawmaker Jerry Sexton made national news Wednesday introducing a bill in the state legislature in Nashville to designate the Bible as the official state book of Tennessee. Not everyone embraces the idea. The Bible would replace Tennessee’s current state book, the menu at Cracker Barrel.

San Francisco’s new Archbishop demanded that all teachers and staffers in all four S.F. Catholic high schools sign a morality contract. Is this guy ever in the wrong town. Yesterday the wind was blowing so hard in San Francisco, it blew a gay guy into a movie theater showing Fifty Shades of Grey.

The Democratic Party picked Philadelphia as host city of the National Convention Friday. This could be historic. The Republicans never thought they had a chance of carrying single women voters until the Democrats came up with the idea of nominating Bill Clinton’s wife in Bill Cosby’s birthplace.

NBC suspended Brian Williams as anchor of the NBC Nightly News for six months without pay Tuesday for making up Iraq war coverage stories. He says it isn’t his fault he misremembered the events in Iraq. He thinks the hits he took during his fifteen-year NFL career have affected his memory.

House Republicans stood by their bill cutting funds for Homeland Security to enforce Obama’s order giving amnesty to illegal aliens. John Boehner denied racism saying it doesn’t matter if you’re white, yellow, brown, red or black. How high you turn up the dial in the tanning booth is your business.

President Obama was ripped by the New York Times for diminishing the presidency after he mugged it up in a comedy video. He thought he’d try making faces and taking selfies for laughs. If he said man-made global warming is a bigger threat than terrorism, people would know he was repeating jokes.

President Obama vowed to destroy ISIS Tuesday but insisted it won’t require U.S. ground troops to win. Air strikes don’t faze them. When the TV weatherman in ISIS-controlled Syria gives the day’s forecast, he gives the day’s high, the day’s low and whether the drones will be out of the east or the west.

The Powerball jackpot total hit five hundred and sixty-four million dollars Wednesday when three winning numbers revealed one of the winners lives in Texas. The jackpot winner plans to do what most Texans would do with the money. He’s going to move back to Mexico and immigrate here legally.

The Jackie Robinson Little League team in South Chicago was stripped of its U.S. championship title on Wednesday. It was found they played ringers from outside their district and cheated to win. When the kids graduate high school, they’ll begin college with six credits toward a degree in Chicago Studies.

Bruce Jenner’s multi-car wreck on Pacific Coast Highway last weekend was caught on cameras and shown on TMZ Friday. He was careful to follow California law after the crash. It requires you to remain at the scene of the accident and exchange plastic surgeon information with the other drivers.

House of Cards starring Kevin Spacey as President Frank Underwood premieres its third season on Netflix next weekend. It reveals the world of politics as a life of double-crossing, manipulation, lying, blackmail, and access granted for sexual favors and cash. There’s also a negative side to politics.

Two Perry men and one from Lucien were new enlistees in Headquarters C., 1st Brigade of the 45th division. They were Eddie D. Hodge, Bobby Hoffman, and Ronald Golliver, Lucien.

Noble County Family YMCA youth wrestlers were among 900 who took part in the Oklahoma Kids State wrestling tournament at Tulsa. Division III, Bryan Wilson, 110 pounds, second place; Division IV, Jeff Shelton, 96, third. Others taking part were Danny Ray Williams, Caleb Allen, Heath Harman, Justin Stevens, Marcus Long, Kevin Owens and Shawn Warden.

Marilee Macias, local business owner and community volunteer, was among the first 10 inductees to the Perry Hall of Fame by the Chamber of Commerce.

Church met for their regular meeting in the church fellowship hall. Geraldine Finley, Margaret Matthews and Cheryl Stodola were hostesses. Attending were Lil Brokop, Geraldine Finley, Margaret Matthews, Mary Lue Rupp, Zelma Rupp, Cheryl Stodola, Shirley Beier, Vicky Beier, Teresa Kukuk, Lorene Loveless, Imogene Rieman, Bernice Schieffer, Teresa Snyder, and Dorothy Voise.

Carving figures out of Bars of soap had turned up a few skillful talents among first and second graders of Christ Lutheran school. Displaying their works of art were L to R Shawn Courtright, a boat; Robbie Cotner, a fish; Mike Mesloh, a boat; and Sandra Kukuk, a boat.

Black History in Perry

Feb. 12, 1944Race Relations Sunday will be observed at

the First Methodist church in Perry Sunday night at 7:30 when Rev. C. M. Ellison, colored pastor of the Mt. Olive African Methodist church, preaches the sermon.

The congregation of the Mt. Olive church will attend the service, while Reverend Ellison conducts the program and gives a sermon on “An Important Question.”

A choir of 12 men and women will be directed by Mrs. Ray Brown in four Negro spirituals, “Steal Away,” “Lord I Want To Be A Christian,” “He Will Remember Me,” and “Jesus Died and Paid It.”

Race Relations Service Set

To make the most of the skin you’re in, you need to keep it hydrated. That’s one reason you should make sure your skin care routine is made up of formulas that enhance hydration and nourish the skin. Here are hints on how.

Step 1—Cleanse: Use a mild cleanser that thoroughly cleans your face and removes your makeup without stripping your skin of its natural oils. One, specially formulated with a sugar-derived glycoside foaming agent, is Ultra Facial Cleanser from the skin care company Kiehl’s Since 1851.

Step 2—Tone: Let a mild, alcohol-free toner, such as the company’s Ultra Facial Toner, gently remove surface debris and any remaining residue while providing hydration and comfort to your skin.

Step 3—Moisturize: A 24-hour hydrator, Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream, helps reduce moisture loss and at the same time draws in and absorbs moisture from the air so your skin is visibly well balanced, even in harsh weather.

This light-texture cream provides continuous water replenishment throughout the day. It’s made with natural ingredients, including Antarcticine, a glacial glycoprotein found in Antarctica; Imperata cylindrica, an Australian desert plant; squalane, a botanical liquid molecularly similar to natural skin so it’s easily absorbed; avocado oil; and vitamin E.

Not even seeded in his bracket, Hadyn proved himself big time as he dominated an 8-2 solid decison over #2 seed Colton Schneider of Edmond North in the consolation finals medal match.

Getting there was not so easy. Though he started off strong with a fall then 9-1 and 9-0 majors, that led him to #1 seed Ty Nohelty of RAW in the quarterfinals. Hadyn had Ty in pin trouble once but, still leading by 5, Ty got the fall over Redus sending him to the wrestlebacks. After a 7-1 win Hadyn was then trailing Irwin Portillo of Sand Springs 5-1 with six seconds to go when he threw him to his back for a huge 6-5 victory in the consolation quarterfinals. Irwin had knocked Colton to the backside in the first round with a 4-3 ultimate tiebreaker upset. Hadyn then soundly handled #3 seed Jake Ahrberg of Cushing 6-2 to advance to the bronze medal match as Perry’s solo medalist in the event. Congratulations, Hadyn!

Our USJOC champ Dylan Avery had to bow out from the event due to a death in the family, so remember them in your prayers. Dylan and his younger brother, Carson, are heading to the OKWA NW Regionals tournament in Stillwater this Saturday, Feb 14, along with 19 additional Maroons in attempts to qualify for the OKWA State Tournament Feb. 20-21 in the downtown Tulsa Civic Center. Only the top six in each weight class qualify from each of the four regions; NW, NE, Southern and Central. Last year our Div IV 12 & under group won the first place team trophy at regionals, which was a first for Perry. With 12 of our team in that age group this year, maybe we can pull off a repeat if everyone wrestles well.

Kohl Owen and his brother Kaleb will also be heading to regionals and got in more prep as Kohl advanced to the Elite 8 in his 51-man 175# Junior High All State bracket. Kaleb placed second in Mulvane Kansas with two falls, a 5-0 decision and lost by fall in the 10 & under 85# finals to his old nemesis Mason Levin of the Kansas

Young Guns. He met Mason in Ark City and Derby as well and has yet to beat him.

Angel Tiscareno placed third in 10 & under 58# class in Mulvane. Angel got a :51 fall then lost 3-4 in a messed-up score match that he definitely did win. But he battled on with a 1:33 fall and then lost another 2-3 heartbreaker.

Armando Tiscareno wrestled two matches in 12 & under 130# in Kansas but lost both by fall. And Ivan Tiscareno unfortunately lost his first match by forfeit, confused about times in the split session tournament and showed up too late. Still alive on the wrestleback side, he did just that — wrestled back to third in 8 & under 58# Novice division. He had a :39 fall, a :59 fall, a 7-0 win, a 1:58 fall and a quick :17 fall in the medal match over Chase Geihsler of Derby.

Meanwhile back in OKC, Kohl Owen pinned Mathias Lick of Choctaw during a close match by double legging him up and taking him straight to his back at the 1:27 mark. After many missed opportunities, unable to stay in the boundary, Will Heinsselman of Piedmont lucked into overtime with Kohl. But Kohl threw him to his back quick for a 7-3 overtime victory. Then Kohl won 2-1 over last year’s OKWA state placer Matthew Woods of Duncan. Then he met #2 seed Drake Barbee of Stilwell who he almost rolled to his back once and was trying an over/under throw that Drake countered for his own pin at 1:49. Kohl took that frustration out on Nathan Seaton of Oklahoma Wrestling Academy, taking him down and cranking on him to the 3:28 mark. Isaac Garrett of Elgin pinned Kohl in the exact time in the consolation quarterfinals to tarnish his medal hopes.

Briar Chafin finished an impressive Top 12 status in his 55-man 285# class. After a bye he had to face #1 seed Montana Phillips of Lawton Highlanders, who finished third. Montana pinned Briar in 2:30, but Briar then pinned Zack Jones of Del City in the same timeframe. He quickened his fall time a minute to 1:30 next match to then face #7 seed Hunter Spankowski of Jenks. Briar pulled that one off in the tiebreaker periods by escaping first period and riding Hunter the second for a 1-0 victory and staying alive. He then beat Blackwell Maroon Jozeph Johnson 2-0 before losing by fall to #5

Hadyn Redus third place at Junior High All State

seed Cassady Pritchard of Bristow for elimination.

Ryan Smith made Top 12, wrestling up at 80# in a 41-man bracket. He beat Jared Head of Owasso 6-3 then tech pinned Jon Henry of Wildcats 15-0 before losing another incorrectly scored match 3-7 to #3 seed and soon 4th placer Kristopher Humble of PCCats. With the wind knocked out of his sails a bit, he suffered a 5-8 loss to Jake Denney of Chargers for elimination. Ryan will be wrestling his 73# class at regionals and brother Logan 76#.

Logan went two and out with a 3-6 loss to 4th seed Evan Kennedy of Cushing and a 2-4 loss to teammate Gabriel Valencia, who will also be heading to regionals.

Gabe finished Top 12 in the 21-man 6th-7th grade 76# bracket at JrH All State. He lost a 0-9 major to #3 seed Jacob Adams of Vian, who finished fourth. After a bye and win over Logan, Gabe beat Kolbe Madron of Sulphur with two takedowns 4-1. Gabe then lost a 0-9 major to Blake Jones of Sand Springs for elimination.

Cade Moxley and Jace Burdick battled up to Top 24 status in their 58- and 57-man 108# and 118# weight brackets, respectively. Cade wrestled a 13-1 major win, a 1:42 fall, then a heartbreaking 1-2 loss and 1-8 loss to #7 seed Kamran Collins of Southmoore. Cade left it all out there on the mat every match and made those two earn their advancement to move on.

Jace was trailing both matches when he found 4:11 and 3:54 big falls for the wins. He was then pinned by #6 seed Braden Kincaid of Blackwell in 4:55 and lost a hard-fought 5-7 match to Zach Wattenbarger of Vinita for elimination.

6th-7th grade 88# Jaden Oakes and step brother 8th-9th 200# Teaguen Wilson picked up some valuable mat time experience in the OKC Fairgrounds Arena to prepare them for upcoming regionals and their high school state tournaments. 8th-9th grade 94 pounder Logan Patton got some exciting mat time in at OKC too. He lost 1-5 to Jared Campbell of Collinsville, then picked up a bye on the backside. He was trailing at the end of the third when, BAM, he hit his desperation headlock for five points and the 8-5 win over Jayston Cato of Carl Albert to stay alive. His hopes were dashed as he lost a hard-fought 3-5 heartbreaker for elimination.

Our coaches were really proud of our Maroon Matmen as they made a great showing of heart, determination and sportsmanship throughout the event. That event is a truly a battle of endurance with no qualifying regional eliminations, thus huge brackets to battle through in short time. We will now head to OKWA NW Regionals this Saturday with just 504 total wrestlers to battle through to claim a ticket to state by placing sixth or better. Then the OKWA State Tournament will only have a maximum of 24 wrestlers to plow through in a two-day event, giving more recovery and prep time between matches, with all the medal matches in a separate session on Saturday evening.

Our current high school 106# varsity starter Alex Valencia captured the gold and an OKWA State Championship in Div V 106# last year. Which Maroon will do it this year?

Continued from page 1Rural care:heart attack. Approximately 400,000 of those victims will experience what’s called a ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction or STEMI, the deadliest type of heart attack. This is when there is a complete block in blood flow to a portion of the heart. Unless the blockage in the artery is eliminated quickly to restore blood flow, the patient is at greater risk of death or debilitation. Unfortunately, far too many STEMI patients do not receive the treatment they need fast enough. For best results, treatment should be administered within 90-minutes of the STEMI event.

For many Oklahomans, distance from a hospital has been a barrier in receiving necessary treatment in the right amount of time. However, with this new EKG-based rapid response program, patients experiencing a heart attack can be rapidly identified in the community then transported to the hospital for the necessary traditional treatments.

Traditional treatments include clot-busting drugs or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), which uses mechanical means such as stents, balloon angioplasty or surgery to restore blood flow. While most hospitals can administer clot-busting pharmaceuticals to heart attack patients, only 25 percent of our nation’s hospitals are equipped to provide PCI, the most effective form of treatment for a STEMI heart attack. INTEGRIS Heart Hospital is a PCI-capable hospital seeking to save lives by closing the gaps that separate STEMI patients from timely access to appropriate treatments. These include:

• Patient Delay – Too many patients ignore their symptoms or put off seeking help until it is too late. Patients and bystanders must be able to recognize the symptoms of a heart attack and realize the urgency of responding quickly by calling 9-1-1.

***The most common heart attack symptom in both men and women is chest pain. But there are other symptoms that should not be ignored:

discomfort in one or both arms, shortness of breath, light-headedness or sudden dizziness, breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea and vomiting, unusual fatigue which may be present for days, and pain in the neck, back, shoulders, and jaw.***

• Ill Equipped First Responders - Unfortunately, a minority of our nation’s EMS vehicles are equipped with 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) machines. These 12-lead machines are critical for detecting a heart attack and more accurately differentiating between STEMI and non-STEMI events.

• Emergency Room Delays - The current process for triaging, evaluating and treating a patient suspected of STEMI who presents to the emergency department includes a large number of potentially avoidable delays.

• Transfer Delays – Many times it is crucial to transport a patient to a hospital capable of performing PCI. Non-PCI hospitals are often located in rural areas and face real challenges related to distance from PCI centers. Much improvement is needed to reduce transfer times from non-PCI to PCI-capable hospitals.

To meet the overarching goal, INTEGRIS Heart Hospital is attempting to streamline the response protocol between: patients and care givers, EMS crews, physicians, nurses and other providers, non-PCI capable hospitals and PCI capable hospitals. It is working to develop STEMI systems of care, ensuring that STEMI patients can get the life-saving care they need within the critical time window. By bringing together healthcare resources into an efficient, synergistic system, improvements in the overall quality of care will occur. The needs of heart attack patients will be met throughout the continuum of care.

The INTEGRIS pilot program will include the communities along Highway 81 between Duncan and Enid, along I-40 from Clinton to Seminole, and now along I-35 north of Oklahoma City. INTEGRIS Heart Hospital physicians are donating $140,000 of their own money to purchase and install EKG machines in every ambulance responding in the area, which is believed to cover more than 300,000 people. As part of the trial, Perry Fire EMS will have access to the EKG device to utilize when responding to potential cardiac events.

The small mobile, wireless, 12-lead EKG device being used is a brand new product called the ReadyLink designed by Physio-Control. INTEGRIS Heart Hospital at Baptist Medical Center was the first health care system in the country to use this device. It is designed to adapt to the medical knowledge and training of the responder as well as the physical needs of the patient, enabling fast, smooth transitions from the scene through EMS to treatment at the hospital.

ReadyLink is fully automatic, with a simple two-step process that gives the first person

to respond to the scene the confidence they need to help save a life. A responder only needs to turn on the device and apply the electrode pads

to the victim. The device will obtain a 12 Lead EKG and

then be transmitted by the LIFENET system to be interpreted by a qualified health care provider. ReadyLink also has

the ability to transmit important information

across devices and organizations. It can send the

information to the emergency department who can in turn share

that data directly with a PCI-capable hospital if needed. Lifesaving decisions

can be made while the patient is still at home or in the ambulance.

“Everything is happening in parallel,” says Charles Bethea, M.D., medical director of INTEGRIS Heart Hospital. “The medics are conducting the EKG while the patient is being transported, the emergency room is reading the data and preparing for the patient’s arrival, consultations are being made with physicians at a PCI-capable hospital, and arrangements are being made to get the patient to that hospital either by ground or by air if needed. It is a true choreography of sorts involving multiple people and organizations.”

All of this will be coordinated through the Code STEMI Hotline, where one phone call will seamlessly set everything in motion. “Perry Memorial Hospital will be able to handle the majority of cases, but in a true STEMI event we will need to get that patient to a PCI-capable hospital and into the heart cath lab in less than 90 minutes. Depending on the patient’s proximity to Oklahoma City, we will either dispatch an ambulance or a helicopter. In the future we hope to have designated in-field landing areas so we can transfer patients having a heart attack even quicker by bypassing the regional hospital all together” says Russell Brand, Perry assistant fire chief.

“This collaboration between the Fire Department, INTEGRIS and Perry Memorial Hospital allows the best cardiac care to be provided to our community” says Dean Turner, Perry hospital CEO.

The goal of the project is to increase efficiency across the care continuum and reduce time to treatment by at least 30 minutes, which could ultimately save lives. If the INTEGRIS pilot program proves successful, the hope is to roll it out to the entire state and let it serve as a model for other organizations to follow.

Pet Talk - Pet Dental Health MonthWhile any pet owner knows the importance of a

regular grooming and exercise routine for their pet, proper dental care is often overlooked. With February being National Pet Dental Health Month, there is no better time to develop a maintenance plan for your pet’s oral hygiene.

“How goes the mouth, so goes the health,” said Dr. Bert Dodd, clinical professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. “Overall health can be affected by oral disease, which can get into the blood stream and affect the animal’s internal organs and joints.”

Dental disease affects a significant number of pets at any age during their lifetime, and just like with people, there can be serious consequences as a result of poor dental health.

Although pets aren’t typically known to have minty-fresh breath, an extremely foul odor can be the first sign of a severe dental problem. “Often, exceptionally bad breath is the first indicator of oral disease,” said Dr. Dodd. Some other indicators of oral disease may

include excessive drooling, inflamed gums, and loose teeth.

More mouth problems that could arise from poor dental hygiene include periodontal disease, gingivitis, halitosis, gum disease, mouth tumors, dropping food and facial pain. It is always best to check in with your veterinarian if your pet begins to show any sign of mouth discomfort or exceptionally foul breath.

Dental care for your pet should begin as soon as possible, so it is vital that your veterinarian teach you how to properly care for their teeth and gums right

from the start. They can provide demonstrations of the most effective and hassle-free way to brush your pet’s teeth, as well as which diets and toys are the safest and most effective.

“It generally is not a good idea to give your dogs any antlers or calf hooves, and don’t let them chew on rocks or bones, as these can potentially cause harm to the gums and teeth,” said Dr. Dodd. “You should be brushing their teeth regularly, using water additives, and providing them with safe chew toys”

said Dr. Dodd. To play it safe, ask your vet to recommend toxin-free rawhide, nylon and rubber chew toys.

Another important step in caring for your pet’s dental health is to have your vet perform a complete cleaning and examination on an annual basis. “Oral examinations and cleaning should be performed on your pet at the very least once a year,” said Dr. Dodd. “They should be performed more frequently if home care can’t be done or if the animal has any other oral problems.”

Dental health should be a daily ritual for pet owners to follow all year round, not just during the month of February. Keep in mind that the oral health of your furry-friend has a direct effect on their overall health.

The Oklahoma Water Resources Center helps resolve water issues in Oklahoma by sponsoring research and disseminating the knowledge gained. While headquartered at Oklahoma State University, the center serves the entire state.

The Water Research Advisory Board, consisting of 22 state regulators, policymakers and water professionals, develops a list of priorities to address the needs of Oklahoma. These priorities guide the board in its selection process of awarding funding to water researchers.

After hearing presentations from five researchers from OSU and University of Oklahoma, the Advisory Board selected three Oklahoma State University researchers to receive funding for 2015.

“Water quantity and quality have always been very important issues in our state,” said Garey Fox, interim director of OSU’s Oklahoma Water Resources Center. “The fact that all three of the selections made by the Advisory Board are researchers from OSU is a testament to the work being done at our university to address critical water issues of utmost importance to Oklahoma.”

Funding awarded to Oklahoma Statefaculty for water research

The three projects awarded funding all address various water issues across the state. The first is a study into the water quality in Lake Altus-Lugert, the primary water supply for the Lugert-Altus Irrigation District in southwest Oklahoma.

In October 2014, the lake was 10 percent full and was recovering from a golden algae bloom, which killed all fish in the lake. The lake has not contained enough water to produce an irrigated cotton crop since 2010. Tyson Ochsner, Sarkey’s professor in the department of plant and soil sciences, and his team will investigate the relative impacts of drought, upstream land use change, climate change and groundwater development to better understand the watershed.

The second project to receive funding support will look at the two primary pollutants to surface waters – sediment and nutrients. Dan Storm, professor in the department of biosystems and agricultural engineering, will lead the project. Joined by Aaron Mittelstet, BAE research engineer, the team will inspect the excess sediment affecting the water chemistry,

aquatic organisms and water clarity of streams and rivers.

The duo hopes to be able to provide agencies with accurate estimates of streambank erosion and phosphorus contributions for the Barren Fork Creek watershed, improve watershed-based plans, test and assess a model that will be applicable to other watersheds throughout the world and provide recommendations to watershed modelers and managers.

The third and final project awarded with funding is that of Jason Warren, associate professor in the department of plant and soil sciences, and his team.

The Ogallala aquifer is a vital resource for the economy of the Panhandle. Agricultural irrigation is the primary use (86 percent) of water in the region, used to produce a variety of crops, primarily corn.

The objectives of the study are to evaluate the yield and water use efficiency of corn, sorghum and wheat under a range of irrigation capacities and evaluate the profitability and production risks of these crops so producers can make sound decisions on the utilization of their water resources.

All three projects are underway and data is being collected for analysis. For more information about these and previously funded projects, visit http://water.okstate.edu/programs/owrri/project-reports.

(NAPSA) — A look at one man’s story may inspire many people, veterans or not, to help others overcome difficulties such as blindness.

Consider the case of First Sergeant Danny Wallace (Ret.). He enlisted in the Army as an infantryman, completing one-stop training that

included basic airborne school at Fort Benning, Georgia.

He served for a total of 20 years as a rifleman, radio transmitter operator, team leader, squad leader, ranger instructor, platoon sergeant, company executive officer, and company first sergeant.

During a tour in Iraq, Wallace’s life changed forever. Two weeks before Christmas, a car bomb attack in Tal Afar left him totally blind. After multiple surgeries-to attach both retinas, replace the cornea in his right eye, and stitch severe wounds to his

How veterans help other veterans face and neck — he was still blind in one eye but had limited vision in the other.

Wallace remained on active duty for two years after his injury. Upon retiring, he struggled with the transition to civilian life.

“I felt distant and unwilling to participate in any veterans

organization,” he recalled.

Finding HelpThis isolation lasted

about eight years. Then, he attended the Central Blind Rehabilitation Center at Edward Hines, Jr. VA Hospital just outside Chicago.

There, he found out about the Blinded Veterans Association, or BVA. Soon after that, BVA invited him to participate in its Operation Peer Support initiative. It connects combat-blinded veterans of World War II, Korea and Vietnam with the newly blinded who have

been wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan. Operation Peer Support activities also provide informational seminars that touch on topics such as education, rehabilitation through sports and recreation, technology, and career development.

It helped Wallace rediscover purpose in his life and the experience had a ripple effect as he now serves as a BVA peer mentor for newly blinded veterans such as Mark Wilson, who lost his sight as a result of a gunshot wound to his face. Wilson’s mother says that meeting Wallace through BVA has literally “transformed” her son.

Over the past two years, Wallace’s eyesight has begun to decline even further. Nevertheless, he remains driven to serve. And he is once again a Sergeant, this time for BVA. “Early in 2014, I had the privilege to be selected as the Sergeant-at-Arms for the Blinded Veterans Association,” he explained. “Words cannot express how grateful I am. Now it is my turn to help other veterans feel that they belong as well.”

What BVA And Operation Peer Support

Are All AboutFounded in 1945 by

a group of combat-blinded veterans of World War II, BVA was and is the only veterans service organization exclusively dedicated to serving America’s blind and visually impaired veterans. Membership is not a requirement to get

help nor does vision loss have to have occurred during military service.

The organization also represents the interests of blinded veterans before the legislative and executive branches of government and encourages them to participate in VA blind rehabilitation programs and VA national sports

events. BVA counsels blinded

veterans and links them with benefits, services and job opportunities. It also advocates for blinded veterans in the VA claims process.

Danny Wallace, a blinded veteran, learned how to help others like himself enjoy productive and fulfilling lives.

OKLAHOMA CITY - Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes nationwide, and tax refund fraud caused by identity theft is a major challenge facing taxpayers.

According to a Government Accountability Office report, fraudulent tax refunds were estimated at $5.2 billion for the 2013 tax filing season.

The Oklahoma Society of Certified Public Accountants (OSCPA) offers the following advice to help you guard against tax return and other forms of identity theft.What is tax return ID theft?

Identity thieves often use a legitimate taxpayer’s identity to fraudulently file a tax return and claim a refund. However, many individuals who are iden-tity theft victims are unaware that their identities have been stolen to file fraudulent tax returns. It’s not until legitimate taxpayers file returns resulting in duplicate filings under the same names and Social Security numbers that they realize they are victims of identity theft.What are some red flags?

Be alert to possible tax-related identity theft if you receive an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) notice or letter that states any of the following:

• More than one tax return for you was filed.• You have a balance due, refund offset, or have

had collection actions taken against you for a year you did not file a tax return.

• IRS records indicate wages received from an unknown employer.Be proactive.

The IRS recommends you take the following steps to protect your tax and financial information:

• Don’t carry your Social Security card or any

documents that include your Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.

• Don’t give personal information over the phone, via the mail or on the Internet unless you have initiated the contact or know exactly who you are dealing with.

• Check your credit report every 12 months.

• Secure personal and financial infor-mation.

• Use firewalls and anti-spam/virus soft-ware, update security patches and periodically change passwords for Internet accounts on your personal comput-er.What should you do if you’ve been victimized?

If you become a victim of identity theft, the IRS recommends you take the following steps right away:

• Contact the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at 800-908-4490 x245 so that steps can be taken to secure your tax account.

• Report ID theft incidents to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at consumer.ftc.gov or the FTC Identity Theft Hotline at (877) 438-4338.

• File a report with the local police.• Contact the fraud departments of the three major

credit bureaus: Equifax, equifax.com, (800) 525-6285; Experian, experian.com, (888) 397-3742; and TransUnion, transunion.com, (800) 680-7289.

• Close any accounts that have been tampered with or opened fraudulently.

Remember, the IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information. This includes any type of electronic

communication, such as text messages and social media channels.

As the most romantic day of the year approaches, AAA Car Buying experts reveal what our cars say about our dating style.

“Once you get behind the wheel, you broadcast certain personality traits,” said Chuck Mai, spokesman for AAA Oklahoma. “Some are good, some aren’t. Just like a person, every vehicle has its good and bad points. It’s up to the car owner to showcase the good and dim the bad.”

AAA Car Buying experts reveal what certain styles say about you:·Hybrid/electric vehicle: You’re looking to save the planet – or at least save on gas.

You’re a humble person who wants a reliable car.·Small sedan: You’re practical and economical, but you still need some pizzazz in your

day-to-day life. For example, you enjoy high-end restaurants – but you are also always on the lookout for discount coupons for them.

·Mid-size sedan: You’ve settled down a bit and are more established. To you, sacrificing a few MPGs is a good tradeoff for more room, comfort and features. If you’re building a family, you are one step away from a minivan.

·Luxury cars: You’re either a hard worker or born lucky. As a result, you like the finer things in life and are proud to show it. Just don’t let that luxury get to you.

·Sporty cars: You’re in it to win it. As a fun risk taker who lives in the moment, you’ll ignore eye rolls about your $1,000 rims as you leave the scoffers in the dust.

·SUVs: You’re an outdoorsy soul who enjoys the open road, tailgating and camping. Traveling light is not in your vocabulary. Cargo space is required for sports equipment, friends, family and pets. The “26.2” sticker plastered on the back bumper demonstrates your penchant for extremes.

·Truck: You’re dependable and not afraid to get dirty, and you have an air of mystery about you. As the go-to person for anyone who needs to move a couch, you sometimes feel taken advantage of – but rest in the knowledge that you’ll always be needed.

AAA’s advice? Drive the vehicle that best fits your personality.

“Love is difficult enough to find without confusing potential suitors,” Mai said. “Drive what you love and your true personality will shine through.”
