The statute gives a provision for continuing the salary an additional six months, “not to exceed a total of 12 months,” according to the Oklahoma State Courts Network.

Read about a pinklake, a red waterfall, andpurple snow. Peep a pic-ture of a luxury tractor-trailer limo and inflat-able weapons that werereally used in war. Ifyour tastes run to thegross (and who doesn’tlike a disgusting fact ortwo?), you learn aboutJohn Lennon’s toilet,Mozart-loving sewage,glowing urine, and bugsthat are bigger than yourforearm.

When it comes tomovies, men can’t help it

The Saturday night neighborhoodgathering was winding down. Toomany hamburgers and too much pota-to salad had weighed down the strag-glers in chairs on the patio.The citronella torches wereburning, and the condensa-tion on the beer cans made lit-tle wet rings on the outdoorfurniture. Things were goingsmoothly until Irene asked ifanyone had seen “The Help.”

“No, I’m dying to go,”Melanie said. “I loved thebook.” Ellen and Trish agreed.They couldn’t wait to see ifMinny, Aibileen, Hilly andSkeeter were exactly as theyhad pictured them.

“Let’s go Tuesday night,”Irene said.

“Yes, let’s all go,” three or fourwomen said at once.

None of the husbands made asound. Randy suddenly asked Irene’shusband, Sal, how he liked his newfour-wheeler. He purposely used hisoutside voice.

“I really haven’t had a chance totake it out and put it through itspaces,” Sal said. “I was planning to goout Tuesday night.” Randy allowed ashow he’d like to see that.

“Wednesday night, then,” Irenesaid. The women all agreed that wasgood for them. All the men sadly shooktheir heads. It was a shame, they’dlove to, but not on Wednesday, and, bythe way, Thursday and Friday werebad for them, too.

“Why don’t you girls all just go byyourselves?” Sal said.

“Yesssss!” the other men agreed asone, that would be best. Why wait forus? We’ll see it when it comes out onDVD. Go have fun, enjoy yourselves.

“You said that about ‘Mamma Mia!’and you’ve still never watched it withme,” Trish said to Max.

“That’s right,” Irene chipped in. “Iwanted to see ‘The King’s Speech,’ butSal talked me into going to ‘Iron Man 2’instead. He said he thought that wasthe king’s nickname and pretended hedidn’t know it was some superheroshoot-’em-up.”

“Who knew?” Sal said, while Maxand Randy gave I-didn’t-know-eithershrugs.

“I wanted to see ‘Julie & Julia,’ thatmovie about Julia Child, and Randyput it off until it left the theaters,” saidDot. “But we had to run to see ‘Spider-Man 3’ the day it came out.”

“Are you telling me in this day and

age that men don’t want to see chickflicks? Didn’t that go out with eatinggoldfish and stuffing phone booths?”asked Irene. “I know I’m a woman, but

I’m also a human. We do have afew things in common.”

“Like what?” asked Sal. He had not really thought

through that comment.Sometimes, he knew, hismouth worked faster than hisbrain. But he knew for certainthat he had said The WrongThing. He quickly tried to coverhis mistake.

“We both like ice cream,” hesaid.

Irene shook her head. “Noteven close.”

“We’re both carbon-basedlife forms?” which only reminded Irenethat he had dragged her to see the last“Star Trek” movie, but when she want-ed to see “Benjamin Button,” thingswere suddenly hectic down at hisoffice. A pattern began to emerge.

Irene decided to change her tactics. “Yes, carbon-based life forms. That

reminds me, has anyone seen the new‘Planet of the Apes’ movie?”

Low moaned “nooooooos!” camefrom several women, but the men did-n’t seem to hear it.

“I’m dying to see that,” Randy said.Maybe it was the beer, maybe it wasthe heat, maybe a brain hiccup, butSal said, “Me, too. Let’s all go Tuesdaynight.”

Max, who didn’t drink, tried towave him off with a quick “What aboutthe four-wheeler?” but the glue traphad been set, and the guys walkedright on to it. The more they struggledto free themselves, the more theystuck to it.

“I meant (BEGIN ITAL) next (ENDITAL)ˇTuesday,” tried Sal. “Yeah, that’swhat he meant, next Tuesday,” theother guys agreed, but their heartsweren’t in it. Their enthusiasm for“Planet of the Apes” dwindled quickly.

“I heard it sucks,” Max announced. “It can never beat the original.

Charlton Heston. Now that guy couldact. You’re not gonna see acting likethat in the new one.”

“So that’s settled,” said Irene,“Tuesday night seems to work foreveryone. We’ll see you at the movies.”

‘Simpsons’creatorimmortalizesalma mater

Q: Although I don’t watch the animated TVseries “The Simpsons” very often, I do love theshow. The family lives on Evergreen Terrace. I’mwilling to bet thename has somesignificance. Doyou know what itis? — E.M.M.,Davis, Calif.

A: The Simpson family lives at 742 EvergreenTerrace. Evergreen Terrace is named after TheEvergreen State College in Olympia, Wash.,which is the alma mater of “Simpsons” creatorMatt Groening. Extra trivia: Groening’s parentsare named Homer and Margaret (Marge), andhis younger sisters are Lisa and Margaret(Maggie). Bart is an anagram for brat.

Q: Many years ago I visited Australia andlearned of a special honeybee that was import-ed from Italy. That’s about all I recall. I can’tfind any information on this. — B.W., Marion,Ohio

A: In 1881, bees were imported from theItalian region of Liguria. The bees were given anew home on Kangaroo Island, which is farenough removed from the mainland of SouthAustralia to be out of flight range for bees.Kangaroo Island now has the only pure strain ofLigurian bee in the world.

DID YOU KNOW? It takes about 40 gallons ofsap to make 1 gallon of maple syrup.

Q: I’m reading a Western novel set in the late1800s. One of the characters bought stock inthe Vulture Gold Mine. The book never says inwhich state it was located. Is the Vulture Minea fictitious name? — L.L.V., Bangor, Maine

A: The Vulture Mine really existed. In 1863,Henry Wickenburg opened the mine in whatthen was the Arizona Territory. (Arizona did notbecome a state until 1912.) It is said that morethan 5,000 people moved to the area and to thetown of Wickenburg, which still exists. Whenthe mine closed in 1942, it had been the mostproductive in Arizona history. The unrestoredmine and surrounding structures still exist. Fora fee, you can explore the area on a self-guided“at your own risk” tour.

Extra trivia: In 1971, the Arizona Legislaturedecreed the bolo tie the official state neckwear.Vic Cedarstaff invented it in 1949 inWickenburg.

DID YOU KNOW? Ronald Reagan and JaneWyman had a daughter Christine who was bornJune 26, 1947, and lived nine hours.

Q: I was only a kid, but I have fond recollec-tions of my paternal grandfather. One of hisfavorite sayings was that someone should be“hung higher than a Jillroy kite.” I never knewwhat it meant. Long after he was gone and I wasan adult, I asked my father, but he had no clueas to its meaning. Can you help? Oh, my grand-parents were from Devon, England. —T.M.,Peabody, Mass.

A: The name is Gilderoy, and to “hang higherthan Gilderoy’s kite” means to be punishedmore severely than other criminals for the sameoffense.

The name Gilderoy comes from “Gillie Roy,”the Scottish nickname for a red-haired lad.Gilderoy was the nickname of the thief PatrickMacGregor, who, of course, had bright red hair.It is said that Gilderoy once picked the pocket ofCardinal Richelieu while in the presence of theking. He even picked the pocket of England’sLord Protector Oliver Cromwell.

Luck ran out for Gilderoy and his cohorts,who were caught and sentenced much moreharshly than normal for their crimes. After theirrelease, the gang retaliated and hanged thejudge. It took authorities maybe five seconds tofigure out who performed this dastardly deed.In 1636, the lads faced another judge who sen-tenced them to be hanged, with PatrickMacGregor to be hanged higher than the others.His body swung in the wind like a kite, 30 feetabove the ground.

Keeping Kids Healthy

It’s Lunchtime!

Let’s eat!Have you ever walked through the

lunch line at school? If so, you areone of more than 31 million kids whoparticipate each day in the NationalSchool Lunch Program. The purpose ofthis program is to provide nutritionallybalanced*, affordable lunches to kidsacross the entire country.

But there hasn’t always been anational program to feed America’schildren. This week, The Mini Pageexplores the past, present and futureof school lunches in the United States.

*When something is nutritious, it meansthat it’s good for your body. It helps you to grow and to develop in a good way. Nutritious food is also good for your brain, giving it fuel to help you to think and learn.

Healthy habitsThe Department of Agriculture’s

new MyPlate model has replaced theold food pyramid, which many peoplefound confusing. MyPlate is what ahealthy, nutritious meal for childrenand adults should look like. Some ofits guidelines include:

vegetables.

Fighting hungerYour parents or

grandparents mayhave walked or riddenhome for lunch whenthey were kids. Butnow, most studentsstay at school all day, so it’s importantthat they eat a good lunch.

The recent bad economy also hasmade it harder for some families toafford good food for meals at home.Some kids may even go to bed hungryat night. But there are programsavailable that can help to fight hunger.Many schools offer meals in addition tolunch, including breakfast and after-school snacks.

In the late 1700s and early 1800s, peoplebecame concerned about what children wereeating. Kids usually were fed only at home bytheir parents. If they were lucky, they were sentto school with something to eat for lunch. Moreoften, though, they went hungry during the day.

People began to notice that kids were suffering.In Britain, for example, military officials weresurprised by the poor physical condition ofyoung recruits. They discovered that one of themain causes was malnourishment* amongschoolchildren.

joining together to feed children during the day.Scientists began keeping track of kids’ heights,weights and learning.

The results were clear:Kids who ate a good meal inthe middle of the day grewstronger and more quickly.They also performed better in school than kidswho didn’t.*Malnourishment means a person’s body is not gettingenough vitamins, minerals and proteins. This can lead toserious health problems and can even cause death.

By the early 20th century, America also hadrealized the importance of lunch. But mostschools in the U.S. had been built withoutkitchens, large dining areas or the space to storefood. In rural areas, many schools were just oneroom filled with kids of all ages.

concerned citizens worked together. Some of thefirst school lunches in America were made bypeople who lived close to the schools. Studentsoften helped out, and then ate lunch at theirdesks.

It seemed the seniorwide receiver (5-10,160) never left thefield in Warriors’ 57-6conquest ofChouteau. He scoredon 70-yard and 28-yard receptions fromBrady Bradbury, whileamassing 139 yardson five catdhes. Thenthere was the 81-yardTD return on theopening kickoff. Plus,a pass interceptionand 27-yard return inthe second period.

The senior line-backer (6-2, 200) hadan active night inTigers’ 38-9 victory atFort Gibson. Herecovered andreturned a fumble 35yards for touchdown,picked off a pass,and recorded 12 tack-les. On offense, herushed for 120 yardson 11 carries, with a46-yard TD.

Class 2A has newleader atop poll

Seven of the eight top-ranked teams in TheAssociated Press Oklahoma high school football pollretained their lofty status, but the defending Class 2Astate champion Hennessey Eagles were not so fortu-nate.

Previously fourth-ranked Jones surprised No. 1Hennessey with a 23-18 win that knocked the Eaglesdown to No. 4 in the weekly rankings releasedMonday. Davis replaced Hennessey atop the poll, andJones advanced into second after the victory at home.

Ten representatives of newspapers (including TheTimes) cast votes in the poll. The only unanimous No.1 selection was defending state champion DeerCreek-Lamont in Class C.

In Class 6A, Jenks slipped a notch to No. 3 afterlosing to Union, 41-19, last week.

Pryor’s defense swarmed Fort Gibson from start to finish Friday night.While handing Fort Gibson a 38-9 whipping, Pryor limited the hometown Tigers to 216 rushing yards on 45 plays, and 80 yards throughthe air.An airborne Carson Smallwood and a grounded Christian Considine (12) combined to ensnareFort Gibson’s Jake Gandara on this play.

Scouting around ... Aaron Brent is thefirst-year defensive coordinator atChouteau. Even though the Wildcats won

their first game and still enter thisHomecoming week at 1-1, he’s not been exact-ly his normal self.

There’s been that grimace on his face. Thatcrutch that props him up. An ever-presentpain in his right ankle.

Brent has been suffering from gout forgoing on three weeks.

Gout has long been considered “an old-man’s disease,” a common type of arthritisthat results in painful swelling and inflamma-tion of joints, particularly the feet and ankles.Studies show that symptoms of gout usuallyshow up in men between the ages of 40 and60.

Brent is 24. “Yeah, (they players) have beencalling me ‘old man’ for a while,” he said justbefore the Wildcats kicked off in AdairThursday. “I thought I was over it, had a cou-ple of good days, then I rolled my ankle walk-ing out to practice and it kicked right back upagain.”

His players, he says, “all like to take creditfor my injury.” He has been easily spotted onthe field during the first two weeks, hobblingon a crutch. “Oh, it’s especially difficult whenI’m coaching from the (press) box like I amtonight,” he said, pointing to the steps thatlead high above the visiting stands.

“Hopefully, it’ll be over in less than a week.I’m keeping my fingers crossed,” he said.

Coaches are generally a superstitious lot.Brent is no different. “If I had to have gout forthe whole season for us to win, I’d do it. I’dtake it,” he said. …

Now that the pro footballers havereturned to the forefront of the American con-sciousness, the TV lords are fast-forwarding tothe Super Bowl. The head of sales for NBCSports was quoted on the eve of the seasonopener last week that a mere five 30-secondSuper Bowl ad slots – at $3.5 million per –remain.

The Super Bowl – XLVI, if you’re keepingtrack – is not scheduled until February, butadvertising spots are virtually sold out.

Seth Winter told USA Today that NBC isrequiring all Super Bowl advertisers to alsobuy ad time on other NBC Sports broadcasts.

About a minute, or a minute and a half, ofthose Super Bowl ads might pay Albert Pujols’contract for a year …

This is Win-Win Week, as promoted bythe Oklahoma Secondary School ActivitiesAssociation, in collaboration with theOklahoma Cancer Center. The goal is to use allhigh school sporting events this week to high-light cancer awareness.

Schools compete for a state championshiptrophy presented to the most successful Win-Win program in each of the state’s athleticclassifications. Although this is the officialweek for such events, activities will undoubt-edly stretch into October. …

NSU drops game on roadSeth BlankSpecial to CNHI News Service

KEARNEY, Neb. — QuarterbackJake Spitzlberger and the University ofNebraska at Kearney offense madequick work of Northeastern StateSaturday.

The 13th-ranked Lopers scored ontheir first six possessions — all inlightning-quick fashion — in rolling toa 65-10 victory at Ron and Carol CopeStadium.

Five of UNK’s first six scoring driveswere 60 yards or longer, and all tookless than 3 minutes. The Lopers’ no-huddle offense had the RiverHawksdefense scrambling.

Northeastern State coach KennyEvans was looking for answers after-ward.“Against a good option footballteam like they are, you can’t makemistakes. Even a little mistake or oneof your 11 players out of position canturn into a big play, and that hap-pened six or seven times in the firstquarter,” Evans said.

Spitzlberger completed 14 of 22passes for 242 yards and three touch-downs and had a 5-yard TD run beforebeing relieved by Kevin Romero withnine minutes left in the second quarterand UNK — a future MIAA opponentfor NSU — holding a 42-0 lead.

The Lopers held a 484-222 advan-tage in total yards at halftime, and a624-439 edge in the game.

The closest NSU came to scoring inthe first half was after Ryan Keenomblocked a punt that Montra Nelsonrecovered at the UNK 26. Northeasternmoved to the UNK 8 before ArthurHobbs intercepted a Kenny Davis passand returned it 98 yards for a touch-down expanding the UNK lead to 51-0with 27 seconds left in the first half.

The interception was one of threefor Hobbs . He also had a 90-yardinterception return for a touchdown inthe third quarter.

Davis was 17 of 28 passing for 223yards, but all three of his interceptionswent to Hobbs after only throwing sixinterceptions in 11 games last year.

NEA CROSSWORD

Comics

Dear Annie: My son has been married to"Josie" for 11 years. I admit I never cared forher. She has a volatile temper and createsdestructive scenes. Once they married, I didmy best to be friendly, hoping she would mel-low with time. She has not.

In the past three years, Josie’s violentbehavior has escalated. She used to put holesin the walls and destroy dishes and furniture.Now she hits my son. If he defends himself,she calls the police and has him arrested.Thishas become a regular routine.

She recently held a loaded gun in his face.I’m scared to death that she is going to killhim. On top of that, their children are fre-quent witnesses to this madness. They haveseen their father hauled off to jail numeroustimes, even though he is never the aggressor.Josie has actually hit herself in the face to cre-ate the impression that she’d been beaten.She once admitted to me that she smashed abottle on her head so there would be blood.

I’ve pleaded with my son to get her helpbecause she is mentally ill. Josie says shedoesn’t need counseling or medication, andmy son cannot get her to go. Quite honestly,I don’t think he’s tried very hard.

Josie’s family wants little to do with her,and her own mother warned my son not tomarry her. He inherited money from hisgrandparents, and she has spent the majorityof it on illegal drugs, yet he always goes backto her. I know I can’t force him to do any-thing, but I want to protect my grandchildren.They always rally to their mother’s defensedespite her putting them in harm’s way.Whatcan I do? -- A Concerned Grandmother

Dear Grandmother: This sounds like anightmare.Abused men often are reluctant toget help. Please urge your son to contact theDomestic Abuse Helpline for Men andWomen (dahmw.org) at 1-888-7HELPLINE(1-888-743-5754).You also can call the Dept.of Children and Family Services, explain whatis going on and ask them to investigate.And ifyou ever witness Josie hitting your son, callthe police and file a report.

Dear Annie: I am writing about "Suffering

Soon-to-Be Ex," who joked that he wouldhave snatched up his wife’s sister, "Zoe," ifher husband hadn’t gotten to her first. Heclaims he didn’t mean it, but his wife was sohurt that she left him. I find it hard to believeshe could walk away so easily if their mar-riage was as wonderful as he claims. I think"Suffering" should seek counseling. His "flip-pant comment" probably does hold a hiddentruth. -- Elmira, N.Y.

Dear Elmira: It was interesting how theresponses to this letter broke down alonggender lines. See if you can figure out whowrote what:

From Tarentum, Pa.: Since he embarrassedhis wife in front of so many people, he needsto apologize in front of many more. I believehe needs something really big such as a bill-board apology.

Nampa, Idaho: This guy made a majorerror in judgment, but the degree of overre-action by his new wife and her family shouldsend him running for his freedom. I see onlyoppression and sorrow in his life if he contin-ues with this oversensitive, controlling family.

Florida:This guy’s disbelief at the enormi-ty of his hurtful comment, underscored bythe statement that he would "give her timeto calm down," is yet another example ofmale disregard for female sensitivity andinnermost feelings. I think she is justifiedbelieving she can never trust him again.

N.Y.:Are you kidding me? A flippant com-ment turns into divorce papers? He apolo-gized and admitted he had no attraction tothe sister, but you tell him to beg for forgive-ness? This is demeaning. He’s been savedfrom a life of misery living with an emotionalwhack-job with some serious jealousy issues.
