At stake:DECISION TIME 2016
County voters heading to polls
Where do I vote?
One of the nation’s more bizarre and contentious political campaign seasons is nearly at a close, after months of insults, accusations and innuendos hurled from both sides ofthe presidential race.
Add to that the additional inundation of pro and con advertising Oklaho-mans endured on several hotly contested state questions and it’s no wonder that more than 250 county residents showed up to cast their ballots on the first day of early voting Thursday at the courthouse.
County voters reading this article before Saturday can still get their civic duty out of the way early by voting from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the King-fisher County Election Board at the county courthouse.
On Tuesday, voting takes place at precinct polling places from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.Regardless of where or when ballots are cast, voters are required to display
their official voter identification cards or a state-issued photo ID before they are given a ballot.
If you hope to save some time by filling in the square for Republican, Liber-tarian or Democratic under the “Straight Party Voting” option at the top of the ballot, be aware that a vote for that party’s candidate will be counted for the races for president, U.S. senator and representative and the county clerk race, but separateyes or votes are still required for judicial candidates seeking retention and the sevenstate questions.
However, ballots aren’t nullified if a selection is not made in every race, which may provide some solace to those who just can’t bring themselves to vote for any of the choices for president.
Voters also can bring a “cheat-sheet,” such as the one at left or a completed sample ballot, to use as an aid in navigating their way through the lengthy two-sided ballots.
Sample ballots are available at the county election board or can be downloaded from the state election board website at services.okelections.us/votersearch.
However, state law prohibits voters from sharing any notes or pre-marked ballots with other voters at the polling place, or displaying them in any way.
And speaking of displaying ballots, Oklahoma law is somewhat ambiguous on whether “selfies” taken of voters holding their completed ballots and displayed on Instagram,Face-book, Snapchat or other social media are illegal, so the general advice is don’t do it.

We have been over this in earlier columns but – if any-body’s interested – this is how we are going to vote in Tues-day’s general election, except for the county clerk election.
We don’t pick between friends on the local level.Here we go...President – We’ll vote Republican, for Trump, seeing his
as the administration under which we might survive as a nation of free people.
Congress – We’ll vote for Congressman Frank Lucas. He serves the needs of his district well. Besides that, he is a farmer and Congress needs at least one man of the soil to tell other members where their food comes from.
U.S. Senate – We will vote to give Republican James Lankford a full term, hoping to keep the Senate in Repub-lican hands as a means of controlling Hillary Clinton, if she is elected president, and providing sage advice to Donald Trump if he is elected.
Judicial retention:We will vote for Supreme Court Justice James R. Win-
chester. He was one of two justices who dissented from the court decision to gut reforms to the state’s disastrous worker’s compensation law. We will vote “no” on Justice Douglas L. Combs, who is much more leftist. Winchester voted to remove the 10 Commandments Memorial on the state capitol grounds but that can be forgiven. He was correctly interpreting the state constitution as it exists, which he was sworn to do. Oklahomans can change the constitution to permit the memorial this year by voting “yes” on S. Q.790. (See below).
We will vote yes on both judges of the criminal court of appeals up for election, Rob Hudson and Clancy Smith.
We will vote “yes” for Thomas Thornbrugh for the civil court of appeals.
We will vote “no” on the other civil appeals court judges Larry Joplin, who was appointed by David Walters, whose governorship still ranks as one of the worst, and John Fischer, who was appointed by Brad Henry.
If Joplin and Fischer lose and Gov. Mary Fallin considers them good judges, she can reappoint him.
That’s about it on state and national elections.The state questions are so numerous, some may feel like
throwing up their hands and voting “no” on all of them.That would be a mistake, in our opinion. We will vote “yes” on S.Q. 777 (Right-to Farm), S.Q.
776 (reiterating the constitutionality of Oklahoma’ capital punishment law), S.Q. 780 (Smart Justice Reform Act, reclassifying certain nonviolent crimes as misdemeanors) and S.Q. 781 (creating a Community Safety Investment Fund – a companion to 780) and S.Q. 790 (changing the state constitution to allow religious symbols on public property).
We will vote “no” on S.Q. 779, which would raise the state sales tax by 1 percent, from 4.5 to 5.5 percent – a 22 percent hike, and S.Q. 792 (allowing chain stores to sell liquor and keep beverages refrigerated).
All the questions were discussed in more detail in this space in the Oct. 23 edition.
We hope all county qualified voters will go to the polls, however you vote.
It’s our responsibility as well as our right.Do your research and make your own “cheat sheet” to
take with you to the polls. You can take notes of any kind in with you – even a pre-marked sample ballot – as long as you don’t show them to anyone else.
•••We have mentioned George Soros, the international
financier who has bankrolled Barack Obama’s left-wing agenda, in this space many times.
“Human Events” carried this column detailing Soros’ effect on U.S. government:
Top 10 Reasons George Soros Is Dangerous1. Gives billions to left-wing causes: Soros started the
Open Society Institute in 1993 as a way to spread his wealth to progressive causes. Using Open Society as a conduit, Soros has given more than $7 billion to a who’s who of left-wing groups. This partial list of recipients of Soros’ money says it all: ACORN, Apollo Alliance, National Council of La Raza, Tides Foundation, Huffington Post, Southern Poverty Law Center, Sojourners, People for the American Way, Planned Parenthood, and the National Organization for Women (NOW).
2. Influence on U.S. elections: Soros once said that re-moving President George W. Bush from office in 2004 was the “central focus of my life.” He put his money where his mouth is, giving $23.58 million to various 527 groups dedicated to defeating Bush. His early financial support helped jump-start Barack Obama’s political career. Soros hosted a 2004 fund-raiser for Obama when he was running for the Illinois Senate and gave the maximum-allowed contribution within hours of Obama’s announcement that he was running for President.
3. Wants to curtail American sovereignty: Soros would like nothing better than for America to become subservient to international bodies. He wants more power for groups such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, even while saying the U.S. role in the IMF should be “down-sized.” In 1998, he wrote: “Insofar as there are collective interests that transcend state boundaries, the sovereignty of states must be subordinated to international law and international institutions.”
4. Media Matters: Soros is a financial backer of Media
Here’s how we’ll vote

responsible for half the starling deaths in this country. And in England, where the bobbies don’t carry guns, cats kill an estimated 70 million small ani-mals every year. Cats are bred to be bad, just look in their family tree and you’ll find cheetahs, mountain lions, tigers, ocelots and leopards lurking.
As a country we are out of shape because not enough people are walking the dog any more. Just try putting a leash on your cat and taking it for a walk downtown and see all the strange looks you get. Milquetoast males and their cats can no longer be trusted in our society to bring home the bacon. Cats are sneaky too, they cover up everything. And smart. The average dog is about as smart as a three to four year old child whereas the average cat is as smart as a 78 year old Congressman. And almost as promiscuous.
The primary problem with our country today is that the dog is no longer the preferred pet. Finicky felines are. The cat is the politically correct creature of apartment dwelling baby boomers and millennials. Pet parents are even forgoing having children in favor of felines. Admittedly, there are several benefits to a cat over a kid: no stretch marks, college costs, need for babysitters or dirty diapers, in most cases. And if you grow tired of your cat you could just accidentally drop it off on the edge of town, whereas a child might eventu-ally find his way home. (Animal rightist alert: I was just kidding about dropping off your cat. It was supposed to make you do something I know you’ve never done before, smile.)
Like muddy paw prints all over your car, evidence of the kitty cult is everywhere. Garfield long ago scratched Snoopy’s eyes out and our country’s long and proud history of presiden-tial pooches is now threatened. Nixon’s dog scored higher in the polls than he did and the Bush’s dog wrote a best seller. The only thing that barks in the next White House will be the president.
Even our dogs are being named after cats, like CATahou-la, for instance. Llassa Apso and Shih Tzu may have fooled some people into thinking they are dogs but I know they are really just cats parading as dogs. Put them in a room with a Siamese and watch them run. The prob-lem is that we as a nation are
A country of cats (Best of)
I ask you, what has a cat ever done for society? Name one famous cat in history. They don’t pull sleds, herd sheep, sniff bombs or point out birds. What is their function in life? They are like a laid-off middle manager of a big corporation. A big waste of hair if you ask me, or fur. Whatever it is that’s all over the couch.
In my highly valued opin-ion, cats just aren’t good for anything. Throw a tennis ball and a dog will retrieve it until the end of time. Throw a ball for a cat and he’ll sit and stare as if to say, “Look dude, it’s like this, you threw it, you go get it.”
Like the rest of our society cats are always “THE VICTIM.” If they spill the milk they’ll shrug as if to say, “Don’t look at me. I wasn’t the idiot that put too much milk in the bowl.” And like a mistreated wife, a scorned cat remembers forever. Get your dog fixed and he’ll have forgot-ten all about it by the time you get it home. Get your cat fixed and when it wakes up you’ll have scratch marks all over your arms and face.
The cat’s only redeeming feature is they keep the mice population under control with-out chemicals. But that too will change. Just watch. I have a sneaky suspicion that behind that catty smile is a militant vegetarian animal rightist with a battery of lawyers ready to pounce.
We really are becoming a country of cats.

Don’t be fooled: S.Q. 779 much more than‘only a penny’
By Dave BondPublic school teachers in
Oklahoma urgently need a pay raise. But there’s zero need for State Question 779, which would raise Oklaho-ma’s sales tax burden to the highest in the nation.
Teachers are leaving Oklahoma classrooms. Chil-dren are disadvantaged. Parents are worried.
But let’s be clear: On Nov. 8, with S.Q. 779, Oklahomans aren’t voting on whether public school teachers need a raise.
With S.Q. 779, we’re voting on whether working Oklahoma families should be forced to pay the nation’s highest sales tax burden in order to fund teacher pay raises and more new spending.
Please don’t be fooled: S.Q. 779 is much, much more than “only a penny.”
In fact, according to its supporters, S.Q. 779 would increases taxes by a total of $615 million. That’s an aver-age tax increase of over $420 per household statewide each year.
When added to existing state, county and munic-ipal sales taxes, S.Q. 779 would raise Oklahoma’s average combined state-and-local sales tax burden to 9.8 percent, the highest permanent rate of any U.S. state. Oklahoma already has the sixth-highest sales tax burden.
In many communities, S.Q. 779 would cause the sales tax burden to reach double digits.
The combined sales tax burden would hit 10 percent in Weatherford, Lawton, Ar-dmore, Chickasha, Purcell and Guthrie, to name a few.
It would jump to 10.2 percent in Kingfisher, Talo-ga and Perry, 10.3 percent in Elk City, 10.4 percent in Woodward, and 10.5 per-cent in Cordell, Clinton and Anadarko.
It would rise to 10.7 percent in Fairview and Pauls Valley, 10.8 percent in Piedmont, 11 percent in Marietta, and 11.2 percent in Watonga.
S.Q. 779 would be a tax increase on everyday pur-chases, including groceries, clothing, tools, home sup-plies and more, for low- and middle-income families.
Adding insult to inju-ry, over 60 percent of the money from S.Q. 779’s tax increase would be spent on things besides pay raises for classroom teachers.
You read that correctly.A $5,000 raise for every
public school classroom teacher statewide costs $245 million. And remember, proponents of S.Q. 779 proj-ect the tax increase will raise $615 annually.
Where will the extra $370 million go? In lump sums to bureaucrats in Higher Education, Career Tech, school districts and the State Department of Education, with little direction on how to spend it.
TV commercials say money from S.Q. 779 will be used to make college more affordable. But there is noth-ing – nothing – in S.Q. 779’s fine print requiring this.
Finally, it’s completely unnecessary to raise taxes to increase teacher pay.
Since last fall, our organi-zation has offered an alter-native plan to fund teacher pay raises of $5,000 or better without raising taxes or restricting core government services.
At www.StopHigher-TaxesOK.com, we offer a menu of $753 million in inefficient or nonessential state government spending that could be redirected to teacher salaries.
Oklahoma needs a teach-er pay raise, not a tax in-crease. S.Q. 779 is a major tax increase that will un-necessarily burden working Oklahoma families of all incomes.

SWISHER’S SUITE By
MichaelSwisher
The scoreboard didn’t show it, but Tuesday night was a big win for Dover Schools.
On the opening night of basketball season, the Lady Longhorns and Longhorns were dealt convincing de-feats by visiting Calumet, but the results of the games were secondary.
The games taking place on the Dover campus were the primary cause for cele-bration.
About nine months prior, a fire destroyed the high school and caused major damage to the high school gym, which sits on the north end of the campus.
Since that tragic night, the Dover basketball teams have been without a home.
The remainder of their home games for the 2015-16 season became road games.
Practices, if able to be held at all, took place in Hennessey or Kingfisher at a time when those gyms weren’t being used for a myriad of reasons for their own student-athletes.
That carried over into this preseason.
Girls’ coach Byron Ran-dle and new boys’ coach Kyle Bengs had to transport their teams just to practice as the school district hadn’t been given the “all clear” by the state fire marshal to occupy the revamped gym.
Finally, however, enough red tape was hurdled and on Tuesday night Dover was able to open its 2016-17 season.
At home.It was a bit muggy inside
and the faint smell of smoke still hung in the air.
But also hanging were all the banners from state championship teams of Dover past.
The gym was back and Supt. Shannon Grimes, at least for a night, was all smiles.
“The money (to fix the issues) doesn’t go very far,” he said. “But we’re playing basketball.”
Grimes deserves to smile.He took the job as Dover
superintendent in July 2014 when it appeared nobody else wanted it.
Dover had thrived - even in some tough times - under longtime Supt. Gene Benson and the reins were then turned over to Floyd Kirk for a long tenure.
That tenure ended with Dover struggling, especially financially.
Mark Batt came to Do-ver from Snyder in 2013 and lasted a year (he took a job as superintendent at Carnegie).
Batt’s replacement, Chad Wilson, lasted considerably less time: A week, to be exact.
Wilson, too, was offered another position that was “too good to turn down” before he left town.
Both admitted Dover’s financial struggles (Batt took over when Dover had a paltry $80,000 carryover) loomed large, but weren’t the deciding factors in their quick departures. The school district’s test scores were also in a free-fall.
In stepped Grimes, who had just finished an eight-year stint at Watonga, the last three as high school principal.
Grimes was a finalist when Wilson was hired.
When Wilson quickly backed out, Grimes got the call.
“We were lucky because we had more than one really good option,” said Nathan Guinn, then the president of Dover’s board of education.
Not only was Grimes a good candidate, he was the
perfect man for the job.He got to work on slow-
ly improving the school’s financial situation, made a promise to get test scores up
and worked to stabilize the staff, which had seen more than its share of turnover in recent years.
Slowly, but surely, there was progress. A school that many figured would just close up shop because of its money crisis was improving under Grimes’ leadership.
Then last year happened.It started with the death
of a student, Guinn’s son, Donnie.
On the day he was to be buried, the school burned down.
The fire turned the en-tire school upside down. Damage was felt through-out the entire campus and temporary classrooms were set up inside the elementary gymnasium.
Instruction days were lost and those that were held the rest of the year were completely disrupted by the surroundings.
The results of that cha-os were evident last week when the State Department of Education released its A-F Report Cards for schools.
Dover, which had shown improvement the previous couple of years, bottomed out.
Grimes was quick to act and sent a letter to patrons. He explained the poor scores, pointed out some positives found in the scores, reiterated the trage-dies of a year ago and vowed to be better.
Dover won last Tuesday night

Jon’s ‘Ramblin’s’The election
In a few days, we will elect a new president. This election is the most import-ant presidential election we have had for a long, long time, if not the most im-portant.
Our life, liberty and pur-suit of happiness are at stake.
Since March 1933, our Constitution has gradually deteriorated. In the last eight years our Constitution has eroded to the point of being almost nonexistent under the regime of Barack Obama.
This legacy was left to us by our forefathers. It was drafted to guarantee our rights and freedoms. Our ancestors fought and died to continue this legacy. If Hillary Rodham Clinton is elected president our rights, guaranteed us by the U.S. Constitution. will disappear as well as the Constitution itself. Our forefathers and ancestors that fought – and the many that died – will have fought and died in vain.
I salute our veterans, both the ones still here and the ones who have gone on. Thank you for your sacrifices.
Donald Trump has af-firmed his support of the constitution. That in itself is the reason why we should elect Trump as our presi-dent.
In October of 1963, I took an oath to uphold and de-fend that constitution. As far as I’m concerned, I am still bound to that oath.
Any politician who breaks the oath to uphold
Matters for America, a pro-gressive media watchdog group that hyperventilates over any conservative view that makes it into the main-stream media. Now its founder, David Brock, has openly declared war on Fox News, telling Politico that the group was mounting “guerrilla warfare and sabo-tage” against the cable news channel, and would try to disrupt the commercial interests of owner Rupert Murdoch—an odd mission for a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt educational foundation that is barred from participating in partisan political activity.
5. MoveOn.org: Soros has been a major funder of Mo-veOn.org, a progressive ad-vocacy group and political action committee that raises millions for liberal candi-dates. This is the group that had on its website an ad comparing President George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler and ran the infamous “General Betray Us” ad in the New York Times, dispar-aging the integrity of Gen. David Petraeus.
6. Center for American Progress: Headed by John Podesta, White House chief of staff under President Clinton, the Center for American Progress has been instrumental in providing progressive talking points and policy positions for the Obama administration. There has also been a revolv-ing door between the White House and the Soros-fund-ed think tank, with Obama staffing his administration with many CAP officials.
7. Environmental ex-tremism: Former Obama green jobs czar Van Jones and his leftist environmen-tal ideas have been funded by Soros’ money at these groups: the Ella Baker Cen-ter, Green For All, the Cen-ter for American Progress, and the Apollo Alliance, which was instrumental in getting $110 billion in green initiatives included in Obama’s stimulus package. Soros also funds the Climate Policy Initiative to address global warming and gave Friends of the Earth mon-ey to “integrate a climate equity perspective in the presidential transition.”
8. America Coming To-gether: Soros gave nearly $20 million to this 527 group with the express purpose of defeating President Bush. A massive get-out-the-vote effort, ACT’s door-to-door canvassing teams included numerous felons, its voter registration drives were riddled with fraud, and it handed out incendiary fliers and made misleading taped phone calls to voters. ACT was fined $775,000 by the Federal Election Com-mission for violations of various federal campaign finance laws.
9. Currency manipula-tion: A large part of Soros’ multibillion-dollar fortune has come from manipulat-ing currencies. During the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad accused him of bringing down the nation’s currency through his trading activi-ties, and in Thailand he was called an “economic war criminal.” Known as “The Man who Broke the Bank
Thank you Father for this day. Father, when I attended a Catholic school, our nuns did not allow “locker room talk.” Sister Mary could make you feel every inch of her ruler. I don’t remember what I said wrong. Her ruler kept me straight. Thank you.
Father, Mr. Trump is worried that other video of his past misdeeds may come up. May all remember “God Judgment Day,” all our deeds shall be reviewed. All-seeing eyes.
Yes we know this election is rigged by Satan’s agents. If Republican good evan-gelicals can forgive Trump’s past sins, they must forgive Hillary’s past sins.
When I hear pastors de-fend Trump’s bad action toward women, it makes me feel they can defend brother Satan. If they were in Sister Mary’s class, they’d know better.
Yes, sister Hillary and brother Donald have a 65 percent unfavorable rating. Don sins with women; Hil-lary sins with Wall Street.
Smart money is on Hil-lary and dark money on Donald from the same bank.
Father forgive us of our sins as we forgive others. Do unto others as you want others to do unto you. Amen.
Simon Gracey
‘Nun’ of that locker room talk allowed
All the while, Grimes and his staff (second-year elementary principal Trilla Guinn Cranford, a Do-ver alum, has also worked around the clock and de-serves a ton of credit for her efforts) have been wading through mountains of more red tape and paperwork just to get the district in position to start to build a new school.
When dealing with state government or insurance companies, nothing comes easy. When dealing with both simultaneously, it’s nearly impossible.
But Grimes, once again, labored through it all.
And, finally, things are possibly starting to look up again.
The district sent out for bids earlier this month. Construction (hopefully) will begin soon on a new high school that might have students in it around 2018.
Dover’s coaching staff, which has been a revolving door for all sports for several years, just might see that door stop turning.

Financial help should also be on the way in the way of ad valorem tax money from the Kingfisher Midstream plant and wind turbines going up in the district.
So Grimes deserved that smile on Tuesday night.
There was a sense of normalcy with basketball being played on a Novem-ber night in Dover.
Hopefully for Grimes, Cranford, the Dover staff, students and community, much more of it is on the way.
