OKLAHOMA PRESS ASSOCIATION
Every year at this time we go through the files of the pre-vious 52 weeks trying to decide what the number one story of the year is and the nine or so sub-sequent top stories of the year.
This year the number one story is also two through 10.
COVID-19 and the pandemic has taken our way of life away. It has also literally taken the lives of 2,383 (as of Monday) Oklahomans with over 35,528 active cases.
The first mention of the virus appeared on the front page of The Purcell Register in the March 12 issue and has been reported
on weekly ever since.That story March 12 said
there was a fear of a pos-sible global pandemic.
The following week city man-agers from Pur-cell and Lex-
ington met with PMH CEO/CNO Kem Scully,
Jackie Wadley and the PMH I n f e c t i o n Prevention
team.Schools ei ther

Westbrook gets
vaccinationsHealth Department team administers the drug to residents
Westbrook Gardens Com-munity Manager Sally Perry has confirmed 50 residents and staff have been given the Pfizer COVID vaccine.
Perry was contacted De-cember 20 and told the team from the Oklahoma State De-partment of Health would be at their facility December 22.
The 10 member team ar-rived at Westbrook at 9 a.m. and inoculated residents and staff and then monitored each patient for 15 minutes to ob-serve for side effects.
Perry said staff monitored the residents for another 48
hours.“We are happy to report
that no side effects were noted,” Perry told The Pur-cell Register.
“Most recipients had some soreness at the injection site but that was resolved within a couple of days,” she con-tinued.
“We will be receiving our second injection (phase 2) January 12. We were informed after the first injec-tion it was 80 percent effec-tive and after the second in-jection it would be 95 percent effective,” Perry concluded.

One
final
sermonPastor closes 21-year chapter at Union Hill
Last Sunday’s sermon at Union Hill Baptist Church was the Rev. Barry McConathy’s swan song from the pulpit he occupied for more than 21 years.
The 64-year-old pastor re-tired from the active ministry.
On Monday, he and his wife, Charlene, finished pulling up stakes and moved to Tecumseh where he’s purchased some land and plans to build a home.
“The biggest thing is not my age,” he said last week.
Rather, it’s the fact that “young ministers reach young families.”
“Young families and chil-dren need to know the Lord,” McConathy said. “He laid that on my heart.”
A native Texan, McConathy pastored a church in Houston for 15 years before he was asked to submit a resume to Union Hill.
“We felt that’s what the Lord wanted us to do,” he recalled.
Following a visit during which McConathy preached a sermon, the church’s search committee extended a call to him.
He arrived in October 1999.The rural church has grown
in more than two decades and pre-pandemic was drawing about 300 to worship services.
When COVID-19 shuttered many houses of worship, Union Hill responded with a parking lot service with the sermon delivered over car radios.
In October, in-house

New Year!
Editor’s note: The Purcell Register has introduced a feature in which civic lead-ers and others will answer five questions. The following were answered by Kem Scully, CEO/CNO at Purcell Munici-pal Hospital.
Q: Is being a hospital administrator what you expected?
A: Looking back, I worked for some pretty awesome Hospital Administrators who mentored me for the position long before I became an Ad-
ministrator. I learned to expect the unexpected. So with that I still believe God has placed me right where He wants me to be.
Q: Do you miss nursing?A: Since my title is CEO/
CNO, as Chief Nursing Of-ficer I am still involved in nursing. Perhaps a different role, but I am still close to the bedside and close to those performing at the bedside. I consider it a blessing to be

Jeanne Grimes • The Purcell RegisterCOVID-19 testingEmployees from Riverwind Casino came to Purcell to be tested for COVID-19 at a drive-through site operatied by the Chickasaw Nation earlier this year. The line of cars extended north on Hardcastle Boulevard to State Highway 39 where more vehicles were lined up to make the turn.
2020 is going to end with a messy weather event. Rain will start on Wednesday and the temperature will begin to
fall. Thursday there will be rain, snow and freezing rain throughout the day with gusty winds. The precipitation will

Messy end to year 2020

There is limited access to places like courthouses and schools.
There was no trick or treating or taking pictures with Santa or Bell Ringing for the Salvation Army. College and pro sports are played in front of nearly empty stadiums.
As the pandemic has pro-gressed over the months city councils in some towns, like Norman, have mandated mask wearing.
The Purcell Council has gone from suggesting mask wearing to requesting it, coming up just short of a mandate. Mayor Ted Cox has given shelter in place orders.
Washington, Lexington and Dibble turned to The Purcell Register and newspapers to provide their learning and study guides in the spring semester.

OKLAHOMA PRESS ASSOCIATION
I hope people in McClain County know how fortunate they have been for the past 22 years.
These past 22 years, our county has been blessed with what has to be one of the top sheriff’s in the United States.
I’ve been in this business for 44 years and have known numerous sheriffs.
Don Hewett is the pick of the litter.
That’s not to say his succes-sor Landy Offolter won’t be a dandy.
I think he will and wish him well.
But the pleasure has all been ours at the newspaper working with Don for the past 22 years.
He has been forthright with us through the good times and the tough times and the winner is you, the reader, and all of us citizens of McClain County.
Don had the same demeanor when one of his detectives solved a big case or if one of his jailers accidentally allowed an inmate to get away.
Hewett one in a million
And he never hid anything whether it was going to add to his career or if it might hurt it.
He is one in a million.A 1967 graduate of Washing-
ton High School, Hewett was a standout athlete excelling in baseball, which he went on to play in college.
Hewett had a brilliant 20-year career as a Trooper in the Oklahoma Highway Patrol eventually leading Troop A.
He taught and coached four years at Washington and then
embarked on his second stint in law enforcement in 1998.
And it’s not just me who thinks Don Hewett is an out-standing sheriff.
In 2018 Hewett became just the 27th sheriff in the history of Oklahoma Sheriffs to be inducted into the Oklahoma Sheriff’s Hall of Fame.
He has served as President of the Oklahoma Sheriff’s As-sociation and is blessed with an awesome family.
An extremely modest man, Hewett would never tell you this but I think he is proud of his law enforcement career.
I know I’m proud of him.I have bragged on him to

Never heard anyone dispute it, either.
I’m proud to have called him my sheriff for the past couple of decades and am proud to be his friend.
Good luck in retirement and good luck to new sheriff Of-folter in the years to come.
2021 is here, and will it be just another year? If it’s just another year then that won’t be bad at all because too many will not have another year.
The opportunity and privi-lege to have another year is the gift of life. Being alive and living your life is about as good as it gets. Aim for being alive this time next year.
Make some decisions about 2021. Where do you want to be this time in 12 months? Would you like to be 10 pounds heavier? Maybe you would like to be 10 or 20 pounds lighter? If you cut back on your portions and get off the couch you can lose a pound a week on average.
This is daunting but just think about where you can be the first of March if you start today? Don’t start tomorrow. Start right now. Today. This minute. Throw all that junk
Decisions for 2021By Dr. Glenn Mollette cake and pie in the trash.
This is a tough decision be-cause we hate to say goodbye to all those holiday cookies and candies. Your body will thank you and you will feel so much better very soon.
Decide about financial hab-its. Millions of Americans carry credit card debt. Minimum pay-ments on $3,000 of credit card debt is like swimming up river.
If you have missed a few payments your credit card com-pany may be anxious to hear from you. Ask them if they will consider a settlement payoff. A friend of mine owed $5,000 and his credit card company settled for a $2,800 payoff.
Your company might or might not but it never hurts to negotiate. You might be able to sell some things in order to erase that back breaking high interest debt.
Make some money in 2021 -
if you want to. Most Americans need to make money in 2021. Work on job applications. Peruse the newspaper. Search online. Consider places you have heard about and call them, go see them.
Knock on doors of opportu-nity. You get nowhere if you do not try. You might complete 20 or 30 applications to get one job interview. Complete the application thoroughly. Give them a reason to consider you. Put together a good biographi-cal sketch, resume.
Have a friend or two to review and edit because two heads are better than one. Have some good trusted references. Wherever you work do a good job because you want them to say a good word about you. A good word may seal the deal
Hello from District 43• Senator Jessica Garvin •
Although our Christmas cel-ebrations looked very different than in years past, I hope you were still able to enjoy this blessed season and celebrate the birth of our Savior.
As we look toward the new year, it’s important to look back and count our blessings from this year. There has been pain and struggle, but there has also been triumph, growth and new opportunities. We can’t let the difficulties overshadow the good.
Throughout the holiday season, work is continuing at the Capitol as legislative staff works through the nearly 3,800 bill requests in the House and Senate. I’m working with staff on my bills and corresponding with constituents about issues important to them.
As we work through the leg-islative process, I hope you will reach out to me and share your comments, ideas and concerns about current laws or bills being considered. In those areas I’m not familiar with, it’s important to have input from those who work in those particular fields or have personal experience with those issues.
I look forward to learning from you all and sharing your ideas and concerns with my legislative colleagues.
While I talked about re-districting last week, which is one of the things we are
Work continuing
at the Capitolconstitutionally required to address this session, passing a balanced budget will be our other main focus.
The state Board of Equal-ization recently released their preliminary revenue estimate. Currently, they believe the leg-islature will have $8.5 billion to spend for the FY’22 budget.
Gov. Stitt will use this initial number for his budget proposal that he will present on the first day of session on Monday, February 1. He will also present his agenda and what items he’d like the legislature to address. The Board will then continue assessing state revenues and certify the final amount for the legislature in mid- to late-February.
The legislature is constitu-tionally required to use the February amount to pass a balanced budget. The state leg-islature can spend no more than is certified by the Equalization Board. People often get the budget process of the federal government confused with that of our state government.
Congress doesn’t have to pass a balanced budget as they’re allowed to go into debt from year to year. We don’t have that ability at the state level, nor would any of us want that. Just as Oklahoma families

Delivering safe and effective vaccines
News from Capitol hill
While 2020 has certainly been one of the most challeng-ing years in modern history and recent memory, there is hope on the horizon that better days are ahead.
Although the world is still reeling from the destruction caused by the coronavirus pandemic, glimmers of hope are brightening more each day with the discovery, develop-ment and delivery of safe and effective vaccines to save lives and eliminate COVID-19’s stranglehold on society.
Indeed, this scientific achievement is coming faster than any other time in human history, and for that, we can and should be exceedingly grateful.
As you might know, vaccines to fight infectious diseases normally take several years to develop and distribute. However, thanks to Operation Warp Speed (OWS), the United States has miraculously been able to race toward discovery of lifesaving vaccines, treatments and therapeutics for COVID-19 in a matter of months.
Initiated by the Trump Ad-ministration in mid-May, OWS established a public-private partnership between relevant federal agencies – including the Department of Health and Hu-man Services and Department of Defense – and pharmaceuti-cal companies.
Since it was created, OWS has not only supported some of the scientific research but it has enabled more rapid devel-opment and testing of vaccine candidates, allowing promising candidates to undergo clinical trials at essentially the same time as regulatory approval and preparation for mass pro-duction.
Delivering a vaccine in record time has led some to have concerns about safety. However, I want to assure you that the accelerated turnaround is not the result of cutting cor-ners or ignoring the existing safety standards required by statute. Indeed, from research and development to clinical trials to emergency use autho-rization (EUA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has remained closely involved
every step of the way.In fact, clinical trials on
promising vaccine candidates cannot even proceed without the FDA’s clearance to do so. Moreover, a Data Safety Monitoring Board advises pharmaceutical companies and oversees results throughout clinical trials.
If testing reveals that a vac-cine candidate is effective by the end of phase three, a com-pany can then request an EUA from the FDA.
Before an EUA for a vaccine can be granted, an FDA advi-sory committee must undergo a rigorous and fully transparent review of research and testing data in a public setting before making a recommendation.
Moreover, for a vaccine candidate or any other unap-proved medical product to receive an EUA from the FDA, it must meet certain conditions required by law under the Fed-eral Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act.

Nearly four years ago I started this little experiment of writing reviews for The Purcell Register.
Back then I had very little writing experience. Just an odd obsession with visiting the movie theater every week-end and watching absolutely everything that was currently playing.
Over the past few years I’d like to think I’ve learned quite a bit. Not just with movies and filmmaking, but also in how to express my thoughts in general.
It’s been fun, and overall I’m glad I decided to take that first leap into the film critic world back in 2017.
That said, I think it’s time I took a break from writing, at least for a while.
With the current state of the world, and the movie industry specifically, it’s been difficult not to feel mentally exhausted. And I know I’ve been very for-tunate, so I can’t even imagine what other people have been going through.
Many times this year I’ve just felt like I’m just going through the motions of reviewing, and not saying anything of sub-stance. If that isn’t an obvious sign of burnout, I don’t know

have to do, we, as a state, must live within our means each year.
While revenues are stronger than originally expected, it’s important for leaders to proceed cautiously as we don’t know how the pandemic will continue to impact our economy in the coming months.
We have to get through the remainder of the current fiscal year as well as look to FY’22. The budgeting process is going to be extremely difficult with so many unknowns, including when the pandemic will end, or at least get under control.
I’m pleased that our teachers and school personnel have been moved up to the second phase of the vaccine schedule.
These individuals are entrust-ed to care for and educate our state’s youth, and by allowing them to get vaccinated, they can rest assured that they’re protecting the health of their students and families by not spreading the virus or putting themselves in harm’s way. Their job is difficult enough without constantly worrying about contracting or spreading the virus.
Having a vaccine is wonder-ful news for those who choose to receive it, but it will take some time to get all Oklaho-mans inoculated. The pandemic has put a tremendous financial strain on our state’s healthcare system and nearly every state agency.
We must continue following health protocols and recom-mendations to slow community spread and protect our friends, families and neighbors as well as our state economy. By slow-ing community spread, we can ensure that our schools and businesses stay open, citizens stay employed and our economy continues to recover and strengthen. We have to stay united in protecting our great state and our fellow Oklahomans.

ness must exist. Second, it must be reasonable to believe that the illness can be prevented, diagnosed or treated by using the product. Third, the known and potential benefits of using the product must outweigh the known and potential risks. Fourth, there must be no ad-equate, approved and available alternative to the product.
While there are vaccine candidates for COVID-19 still in development or undergoing clinical trials, two have already received FDA’s authorization for emergency use in the United States.
And since the federal govern-ment contracted with pharma-ceutical companies to pre-pur-chase hundreds of millions of doses of promising candidates through OWS, vaccines could be manufactured at the same time as clinical trials and made ready to distribute immediately – but only if approved by the FDA.
The vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech was the first one approved and de-ployed nationwide, and Mod-erna’s followed about a week later. During testing with thou-sands of volunteers, the results were remarkable, with vaccines proving at least 94 percent ef-fective in preventing sickness from exposure to COVID-19.

New year, new holidaytradition: Home inventory update
By Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner Glen Mulready
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! People are busy decorating, gift-shopping and thinking about New Year’s resolutions. Tradition is one of the things that make the holiday season so special.
While insurance may be the last thing on your mind dur-ing the holidays, the start of a new year is the perfect time to review your insurance cover-age and update your home inventory list.
When you reflect on the last 12 months, especially with the pandemic, you might realize that some of those changes could greatly affect your insur-ance needs.
The holiday season is when many people reflect on the past year and pledge to do better next year. Whether it’s eating healthier, being more organized or running your first marathon, try starting a new tradition: up-date your home inventory list. Here are four good reasons to add an annual insurance review and home inventory update to your list of holiday traditions.
Your new gifts may not be covered
I hope you’ve been good this year and receive some nice gifts over the festive period. Your homeowners insurance will cover most of your big-ticket
gifts like a big screen TV, new electronics and expensive jew-elry, but only up to your policy limits. That’s why it’s important to maintain a current record of all your belongings.
Update your home inventory this holiday season so your cov-erage limits meet your needs.
A lot can change in a year.Think about the new “nor-
mal” we’re living in with COVID-19. With many people spending more time in their homes, it is not surprising that home improvement projects have increased in popularity.
According to a recent Porch.com survey, 76 percent of ho-meowners have completed at least one home improvement project since the start of the pan-demic. Take photos or a video of your remodeled kitchen or bathroom, gather receipts and add them to your inventory list.
When you review coverage at the start of the year, you can ensure your new assets are safeguarded.
It will make filing an insur-ance claim easier
The information you put into the home inventory list can make an insurance claim settlement faster and easier.

Dave: what is.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read my reviews over the years. Your kind words, encouragement, and even your harshly worded critiques have meant a lot to me.
I think it’ll be nice to watch new movies for the first time in a long time without worrying about taking notes or forming a coherent opinion about them.
Speaking of, I still have a couple more movies to talk about before I go. And lucky for me, they’re two of the big-gest films of the year. “Soul” and “Wonder Woman 1984.”
So without any further ado, let’s get to the reviews.
***First up is
“Soul.”Joe (Ja-
mie Foxx) is a middle-school band t e a c h e r whose life hasn’t quite gone the way
he expected. His true passion is jazz, and he’s good. But when he travels to another realm to help someone (Tina Fey) find their passion, he soon discov-ers what it means to have soul.
I think it’s fairly safe to say that if you’re a fan of animated movies, you know the kind of quality expected from films created by Pixar.
Over the past 25 years the studio has set the standard for animated films.
Even while their parent com-pany, Walt Disney, was strug-gling in the mid-2000s, Pixar never skipped a beat, producing movie after movie that not only kept children entertained for a couple hours, but touched the hearts of millions and leaving many of us adults ugly crying in the middle of a crowded theater.
Of course since the 2000s, Pixar has had a few notable missteps. A new Pixar film becoming an automatic mas-terpiece isn’t as guaranteed as it once seemed a decade ago.
Even so, time and time again Pixar has proved they’re a stu-dio worthy of paying attention to, because when they produce high quality work, they knock it out of the park like no one else in the business. Especially when they happen to be written and/or directed by Pete Docter.
Which I suppose brings me to this film.
I’d like to think of “Soul” as a spiritual successor to Docter’s last Pixar movie, “Inside Out.”
Where “Inside Out” per-sonifies aspects of people’s personalities, like Joy, Anger, and Sadness, “Soul” seeks to represent concepts which are even more abstract and even existential, like death, the hu-man soul, and even the meaning of life itself.
Not exactly light subject matter, though Pixar has never been ones to stray away from tough topics. Heck, this isn’t even their first movie set in the afterlife.
But unlike “Coco,” the world of “Soul” is far more abstract than the colorful Día de los Muertos themed Land of the Dead.
Souls here are little more than blue blobs in the vague shape of humans, and the entities who run the “Great Beyond” are basically just outlines which can take just about any shape they wish.
Thanks to an unfortunate ac-cident, our main character, Joe, finds himself in this odd realm. But, deciding it isn’t his time to go, he escapes to the “Great Before.” The place where un-born souls are prepared for life on Earth.
Eventually, he finds himself paired up with one of those un-born souls, voiced by Fey, who doesn’t want to go to Earth. Yet, despite their disdain for human existence, Fey’s character is persuaded to help Joe find his way back to his body.
What follows is nothing less
than an exploration into what makes life worth living and the simple pleasures of being human.
And since Joe is a talented pianist, much of this experience is enhanced through the realm of music. Specifically jazz.
So naturally, you’d prob-ably expect a pretty standout soundtrack with such musi-cally focused film. And luckily, you’d be spot on.
While Foxx and Fey may be the lead actors in this film, the real star of the show here is the sound.
There’s such a wonderful en-ergy to the music in this movie. Both in the Jon Batiste written jazz segments, and in the new age songs composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
It’s a soundtrack that stands out far more than your typical film, at least when it comes to non-musicals.
In a different movie, I could almost see the sound mixing here coming across as a bit obnoxious. But music truly is the soul of this film. It’d be more strange if the score wasn’t this prominent.
I’d go as far to say it’s the best Pixar soundtrack ever. In no other film of theirs has the music so perfectly fit the emo-tion of each and every scene. It really is beautiful.
Speaking of beautiful, the quality of animation here is just as great as we’ve all come to expect from Pixar.
No one, not Illumination, not Dreamworks, not even Walt Disney’s own animation studio, makes better looking animated movies.
Even when Pixar makes bad movies, as was the case with 2015’s “The Good Dinosaur,” their films are still always a visual feast for the eyes.
And not only does this movie look and sound incredible. It also has a wonderful story, with a great message. One that will probably stick with parents far longer than it will their children.
In fact, if I had one concern, it’d be that some younger chil-dren may have trouble grasping a story this heavily focused on existence and what it means to be alive.
I’m sure most kids will still be entertained by the colorful characters and cute comedy, but unlike most animated films, I’d say “Soul” is more for adults than it is for children.
Bottomline though, this is easily one of the best movies of 2020. It’s definitely worth the $7 for a month of Disney+.
If this somehow doesn’t win Best Animated Feature at the Oscars, I’ll be flabbergasted. Heck, I could see it making a run for Best Picture depending on the competition that’s yet to be released.
Even after 25 years of in-credible feature films, Pixar is still outdoing themselves and showing the world no one does animation better than them.
“Soul” is rated PG and is available to stream on Disney+.
***The oth-
e r m o v i e th is week i s “ Wo n -der Woman 1984.”
D i a n a Prince (Gal Gadot) lives q u i e t l y
among mortals in the vibrant, sleek 1980s, an era of excess driven by the pursuit of having it all. Though she’s come into her full powers, she maintains a low profile by curating ancient artifacts, and only performing heroic acts incognito.
But soon, Diana will have to muster all of her strength, wis-dom and courage as she finds herself squaring off against Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal) and the Cheetah (Kristen Wiig), a villainess who possesses su-perhuman strength and agility.
Ah, DC. My poor old belea-
guered comic book franchise holding friend.
What are we going to do with you?
I swear, for a minute there it seemed like you’re finally getting it together after ditching Zack Snyder, the filmmaker responsible for cinematic mis-steps such as “Man of Steel” and outright disasters like “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
Things started to look up after the first “Wonder Woman” film, and 2019 saw the release of “Shazam!,” one of my favor-ite movies of that year.
Sure, “Aquaman” wasn’t the best, and “Birds of Prey” from earlier this year could have been better, but overall I was pretty optimistic about the future of DC.
And with the next film on the horizon being helmed by Patty Jenkins, the same woman behind “Wonder Woman” from 2017, it seemed reasonable to be hopeful about the future of this cinematic universe.
Honestly, I probably should have taken the news of a four hour Zack Snyder director’s cut of “Justice League” as a bad omen.
Because I guess some people think it’s runtime limitations, not poor editing, bad story-telling, or abysmal characters, that’s keeping Snyder from making good movies. But I digress.
“Wonder Woman 1984” isn’t quite what I’d call a terrible film, but it certainly does seem like yet another misstep for DC.
It’s just kind of a mess that gets more and more incoherent as the movie goes on.
I suppose it starts out interest-ing enough.
Inadvertently, our characters end up running across a magic stone which grants whoever holds it a single wish.
Without realizing the stone’s power, Diana wishes back her romantic interest from the pre-vious film, Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), who died heroically back in World War I.
Steve’s soul or personality or whatever ends up inhabit-ing some other random guy’s body, which is kind of weird, and opens up a huge morality can of worms that this film completely avoids.
Kristen Wiig’s character also makes a wish. In her case it’s to be just like Diana, though she’s unaware of the woman’s secret Amazonian origin.
From there, we’re introduced to Maxwell Lord. An 80s busi-nessman who is more focused on creating the appearance of successfulness, while in real-ity is nearly on the verge of bankruptcy.
Whether intentional or not, Lord’s character bears a strik-ing similarity to our current president, Donald Trump.
Beyond the failed businesses and the focus on image above everything, Lord even men-tions the power of positive thinking, which has been well documented as one of Trump’s core philosophies.
Plus, of course, Pedro Pas-cal is also sporting a terrible haircut, just like the president.
Naturally, Lord wants to get his hands on the magical wish-ing stone, and once he does, his wish is what shapes nearly the entirety of the film’s plot from that point on.
I’ll admit, I was intrigued by the direction the story seemed to be taking. Sadly, what started off as fairly small, ends up spiraling into an out of control, unfocused mess with apocalyp-tic consequences.
If I had a wish that an imagi-nary rock could grant, it’d be to tell those behind superhero movies that not every film in-volving a comic book character has to have stakes so high that the end of the world is on the line.
Especially when these larger-than-life ramifications seem to be at the expense of writing
good characters.Gal Gadot and Chris Pine
just don’t seem to have the same spark that they did in the last film. Plus, all the fun side characters which filled the 2017 film with funny moments are nowhere to be found.
And if that wasn’t bad enough, the action scenes here are also a huge step down from the last movie as well. Everything just feels floaty and unrealistic. Not to mention, it lacks the sheer spectacle of the previous film.
Instead of awe inspiring, everything just feels cheesy.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind a little cheese in my superhero movies. It worked quite well in “Shazam!” for instance. I just don’t think the action scenes here matched the tone set by the storytelling, nor the expectations of the previ-ous film.
I don’t know.This is far from the worst
movie DC has produced. Though granted, that is an incredibly low bar.
I wish I liked this movie more. As a kid, DC superhe-roes were always my favorite. It’s heartbreaking seeing so many live action films with these characters fail time and time again.
I guess all I can do is hope that the next film from DC, James Gunn’s reimagining of “The Suicide Squad,” is better.
“Wonder Woman 1984” is rated PG-13 and is available to stream on HBO Max.
In fact, this data is even better than the efficacy of an-nual vaccines to protect against influenza. Neither COVID-19 vaccine has live coronavirus in it. As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ex-plains on their website, these messenger RNA vaccines trigger an immune response, which produces antibodies and then protects against infection if the real virus enters the body.
At the recommendation of the Office of the Attending Physician and to demonstrate my total confidence in our na-tion’s vaccine efforts, I recently received my first dose of the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine.
While vaccinations are a personal decision, defeating this terrible coronavirus is a war we must fight and win together. We can all do our part by taking the free-of-charge vaccine as soon as it becomes available.
In the meantime, please continue taking the same practical precautions we have learned this year to slow the spread of COVID-19. Please continue to wear a mask, social distance and frequently wash your hands.

Hello again everyone, and Happy New Year! If you are any-thing like me, you can’t wait for this year to be over. Never in my life have I ever experienced a year like 2020. I saw a T-shirt at a local store that said, “My only resolution for 2021 is to never speak of 2020 again.” Amen to that!
As we look forward to better days ahead, we still need to wash our hands often, wear a mask and keep a safe distance from others, and pray that a vaccine will soon be available for us all.
Here is the menu for January 4-8:Monday—Steak sandwich with lettuce, tomato and mayo,
tomato soup, salad, strawberries and bananas.Tuesday—Chicken and dumplings, peas, carrots, chocolate
chip cookie bar.Wednesday—Breaded fish with tartar sauce, oven browned
potatoes, coleslaw, hush puppies or cornbread, pudding swirl.Thursday—Ham and beans, sliced onions, tomato spoon rel-
ish, spinach, cornbread, fruit crisp.Friday—Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy, broccoli, din-
ner roll, frosted chocolate cake.Milk is available with every meal.The senior garage sale is open every Thursday and Friday for
your convenience, with all proceeds benefitting local seniors. Donations of items are always appreciated, but if you plan to drop them off after 1 p.m., please call Hester at 990-1840 to assist you.
This has been a very challenging year for us all. But we have also been fortunate to have found a way to stay open, sort of, and to keep serving good meals for our congregates and home-bound recipients.
It is still very important to make and keep your reservations every day to ensure a meal is prepared for you. Just call the kitchen at 527-9462 by 8:30 a.m. and ask for Sherrie, Evelyn or John.
We have lost several of our people in Wayne and Purcell this year, some due to COVID, some not. They will all be missed by the families and friends they leave behind.
As we move into another year, let’s be hopeful that it will be a good one. Please stay safe and healthy and thank you for continuing to support the senior centers of Wayne and Purcell.

Though the University of Science and Arts of Okla-homa has decided not to hold a fall 2020 commencement ceremony due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the institution has still bestowed 44 bachelor’s degree this term. USAO will recognize and honor graduates during the April 2021 ceremony.
Among those students were Harrison Johnson and Eric Lynch of Purcell. Johnson earned a bachelor of science degree in biology, while Lynch earned a bachelor of sci-ence degree in business administration.
“Shaking the hand of each graduate is one of the highlights of every semester I have served as president, so I deeply regret the distance that this disease has put between us,” said President John Feaver. “I am, however, extremely proud of the efforts these students have made in this un-precedented situation. Their perseverance, courage and adaptability should be a lesson to us all in how to carry ourselves through the most difficult of times.”

Phil McMillanA Celebration of the life of Phil McMillan, 71, of Lexington
will be scheduled at a future date when we can share hugs and stories and remember his life. Services will be under the direction of the Wilson-Little Funeral Home in Purcell.
Mr. McMillan passed away Saturday, December 26, 2020.
Phillip Charles McMillan was born November 15, 1949 in Oklahoma City, the third of four children born to Foster Elmer McMillan and Flora Dee (Townley) McMillan. He was raised in Oklahoma City and attended school there, graduating from Capitol Hill High School in 1968.
Phil worked for Wilson Foods for several years before the company closed its doors. His heart had always been to live on the farm, and so he followed his dream. By 1980, Phil had settled in Lexington. In 1994 he began working for William Hightower.
Later that year he met Tina Brown Harp. They started dating and eventually married on his birthday in 1999. He loved life on the farm, building fence, caring for his livestock, and tending to his garden. He was a man’s man; an avid outdoorsman and he loved fishing and hunting. Phil and Tina made their home on an acreage near Lexington and have called it home ever since.
Phil was a loving husband; a proud father and the best grandpa a kid could ever want. He was outgoing and his circle of friends was large. He will be dearly missed!
He was preceded in death by his son, Kevin McMillan; parents, Foster and Flora McMillan; sister, Myrna McMillan and brother, Robert McMillan.
Phil is survived by his wife, Tina of the home; son, Brent McMillan of Lexington; daughter, Jamie Anderson and husband, Kregg, of Purcell; sister, Gayla Whitten and hus-band, David, of Edmond; four grandchildren, Kaden and Cruz McMillan and Kelly and Kendra Anderson; several nieces and nephews and a host of other family and friends.

Wilson-Little Funeral Home • 127 S. Canadian • Purcell • 527-6543
Leroy MarcumA Celebration of the life of Leroy Marcum, 92, of Goldsby
was held Monday, December 28, 2020 at the IOOF Cem-etery, 1913 N. Porter Ave., in Norman. Services were under the direction of the Wilson-Little Funeral Home in Purcell.
“Hardworking” – Ask anyone to describe Leroy Marcum, and you were likely to hear that adjective. Leroy was born on October 14, 1928, in Rosedale, Okla., the second of Leroy Glenn and Ruth Marcum’s five children.
He grew up in Washington, Okla., and never hid from hard work. As a young boy, Leroy helped his dad in the dairy and farm-
ing business, but school was important too. He graduated from Washington High School in 1946 and attended the University of Oklahoma for one year before beginning his own farming and dairy business.
Leroy married Laquawana McClure in 1949, and the couple were married 71 years. In 1956, the couple faced a severe hail storm that destroyed their entire crop, leading them to move back to Norman, Okla. Leroy was involved in farming, cattle, oil and gas, and real estate. He and his wife also operated a Borden Milk distributorship until he retired in 1976.
Leroy enjoyed working hard and sharing fun times with family and friends. Some of his favorite memories include times spent on the couple’s boat at Soldier Creek, Lake Texoma. He will long be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Laquawana; his parents; three sisters; two brother-in-laws and a sister-in-law.
Leroy is survived by his two daughters, two granddaugh-ters, and two great-granddaughters: From Goldsby, Okla., daughter, Melody Marcum and her daughter, Marca and husband, Kevin Bozeman, and their daughters, Avery and Tatum; From Norman, Okla., daughter, Joi Marcum and husband, Phillip McMillian, and their daughter, J Pasque and husband, Kurt. He is also survived by one brother, Bill Marcum of Washington, Okla.; brother-in-law, Billy Owen of Washington, Okla.; Julie and Chris Watson of Ft. Worth, Texas; Robert Hamilton of Lake Toxaway, N.C.; many nieces, nephews, and a host of friends.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Westside Church of Christ.

sheriff Don Hewett, whose retirement is effective Friday.
Now 65, Offolter was just 21 when he embarked on Phase 1 of that career.
He joined the Purcell Police Department, staying about a year.
From there, he went to work for then Sheriff Don Smith. He remained with the department for another year.
And then he joined the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, a move that is still opening doors after all these years.
As a trooper he was assigned to Grady County and settled in Chickasha.
At the time, the patrol re-quired troopers to live in the county seat.
He was in Chickasha 11 years.
Offolter also spent six years working security for Gov-ernors Henry Bellmon and George Nigh.
In 1990, the Purcell na-tive moved back to McClain County, settling 12 miles west of Purcell in the Washington-Dibble community.
He was a lieutenant when the patrol made him a super-visor in the Size and Weights Division, responsible for all of Oklahoma south of I-40.
By the time he retired in February 2016, Offolter, by then a captain, was the divi-sion’s executive officer.
“I enjoyed the highway patrol,” he reflected recently. “Police department work is different from sheriff’s depart-ment work. And the highway patrol is very different (from either).”
Still, each afforded an op-portunity to engage in com-munity policing before anyone knew what community polic-ing was.
Back in 2016, Offolter thought his law enforcement career was at an end.
He was content to raise a few cattle and bale hay on his 87 acres.
Then in late 2017 Hewett contacted Offolter, asking him to join the department as
undersheriff.Offolter agreed after Christ-
mas that year and started working for the department Jan. 1, 2018.
Eventually Hewett con-vinced Offolter to file for the sheriff’s post in 2020.
He was the sole candidate.“I wasn’t planning to be
sheriff,” Offolter said.And he’s not planning any
departmental changes as sheriff.
“He’s (Hewett) got a good department here,” Offolter said. “Why fix something that’s not broken?”
That’s not to say there aren’t ongoing concerns.
The McClain County Deten-tion Center tops that short list.
“The jail is probably our biggest issue,” Offolter said. “Every time the health depart-ment inspects us, they write us up for overcrowding.”
County voters have twice in recent years turned down proposals to build a new, larger jail.
Offolter has tapped James Goins as his undersheriff. He’s been at the department a long time,” Offolter said.
Depending on his health, Of-folter plans to serve two terms.
For relaxation and to de-compress, Offolter and his wife, Genise, have made a practice of going to Ontario, Canada every other year to fish and camp in the area 150 miles north of International Falls, Minn.
“If a person likes to fish, I recommend it,” he said.
They had tentatively planned a trip in 2021.
“But we found out our old-est daughter is due then and Grandma nixed the trip,” he laughed.
The Offolters have two daughters and a son, along with nine grandchildren.
Kristi lives at Blanchard and is an RN at Mercy Heart Hos-pital. Lanae lives at Sulphur.
She and her husband own several funeral homes. Jason lives at Dibble and works as an oilfield electrician.

McConathy: worship resumed.
On Sunday, there is a mask-required service at 8:30 a.m. and a mask optional service at 10 a.m.
The car radio service contin-ues to be offered at 8:30 a.m.
In addition, all services at the church are livestreamed on social media.
“We try to accommodate people in worship,” he said.
McConathy said the church was debt-free when he arrived
in 1999.During his tenure, there have
been major expansion at the church, including remodeling every building and construct-ing a 7,300-square-foot fellow-ship hall.
All has been done without borrowing any money.
With all of the building experience, it’s no surprise McConathy plans to build that home outside Tecumseh himself.
He and his wife chose Te-cumseh because their daughter lives there. They also have a son who lives at Yukon.
He will join a church at Te-cumseh and should an oppor-tunity arise to fill in for another pastor, he’s open to that.
He admitted his final sermon to his Union Hill congrega-tion “obviously wasn’t easy for me.”
His sermon topic was “Christ-mas is a Time for Giving.”

he was calling me to do,” he said.
He continued his undergrad-uate education at a college in Mississippi. He then attended Midwestern Baptist Theologi-cal Seminary at Kansas City, Mo.
Smith received his doctor-ate from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
In the summer of 1982, he met his future wife at a Glorieta church camp in New Mexico.
“She slid down a hill and fell on top of me,” he recalled.
He quickly fell for Sheree and they married in May 1983.
Soon to celebrate 38 years married, the Smiths have two sons – Kody, 31, and Kameron, 25 – and three granddaughters.
By mutual agreement, Sher-ee’s family became Smith’s family and he became their son.
They moved to Tennessee where Smith pastored a church. One day he read an announce-ment that a Baptist church in Aviano, Italy, was looking for a pastor.
He sent a letter and his re-sume and “six months later we were getting on a plane.”
The church, which was founded after World War II, was near Aviano Air Base.
“We lived on the economy and my kids went to Italian schools,” he said, adding that he learned to speak “street Italian.”
The family spent about four years at Aviano.

Preach:
“old school” minister, believ-ing certain principles are the foundation of a good, strong church.
“Show me a church that be-lieves in and supports missions, I’ll show you a church God blesses,” he said. “Show me a church with a strong men’s ministry, I’ll show you a church God blesses.”
The same goes for church with strong community in-volvement and programs for women and children.
If there’s anything Smith has learned in his 38 years as a minister, it is this:
“You have to earn the right to be heard. Be sure you fol-low God’s word. Do that and anything can happen.”
Even “God thing” offers from churches to which you don’t remember applying.”

When Robby Elliott was in fifth grade, he went to work cleaning up around the family-owned Purcell Auto-motive for his grandfather, Don Elliott.
His second day on the job, he pulled a transmission from a pickup.
Now 37, Robby has worked 28 years at Purcell Automotive. He’s owned the business for the past seven years.
The senior Elliott opened the mechanic shop at 830 S. Green Ave., in 1967.
Robby’s father, Randy, was the second generation to run the garage.
Robby is the third and now there’s a fourth waiting in the wings. Robby’s soon to be 8-year-old son, Bergen, is already showing signs he will be every bit as much a motorhead as his dad.
Robby also has a daughter, 4-year-old Maggie who is “all girl.”
The shop is staffed by four mechanics and Robby. Keep-ing the business in the family is Robby’s sister, Amanda, who handles the office.
“We do pretty much every-thing but paint and body,” said Robby, who still does some of the mechanical work himself.
Certainly vehicles in the 21st century aren’t the same beasts as those in his grand-father’s day.
The business has evolved along with the internal com-bustion engine.
“We stay in business be-cause of my customers,” he said. “I wouldn’t trade my job for any job.”
The challenge of working on all makes and models of vehicles is the norm for in-dependent repair shops like Purcell Automotive.
And really the similarities

The department held a retirement reception for Williams that day.
Williams had been on the Purcell Force since coming here in 1992 from his home town of Sulphur.
Elmore first worked on the staff of the Mc-Clain County Sheriff’s Department in 1995 be-fore moving to the police department in 1999.
He took a short break from his police work in Purcell, working for the Aurora, CO., Police De-partment in 2005.
He returned here in 2007 and had advanced his way
up to Captain.With Elmore moving
up to Chief, Patrol Lt. James Bolling has been promoted to Captain.
Bolling and his wife, Jana, have two children, Lilyan, eight and Travis, 15.
In making the announce-ment of the promotions, City Manager Dale Bunn said he has every confi-dence in Elmore as Chief and advancing Bolling to Captain.
“I enjoyed working with Kevin,” Bunn said of the retiring chief. “I thought he really cared about his staff and the people of Purcell.”
Williams served as In-terim Chief from April of 2007 to June of ‘07 when then City Manager Eric Johnson removed the Interim title.

Three-peat on potCouncil halts marijuana enforcement
Will Purcell’s third attempt to draft a medical marijuana ordinance be a charm?
The devil, it seems, is in the details.
The city’s first ordinance approved Oct. 1, 2018, lasted just five weeks before un-dergoing a major overhaul of permissible locations for retail marijuana businesses,
commercial growing facili-ties, wholesale facilities and marijuana storage facilities.
Those ordinances also set business hours – 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Satur-days, while also mandating the businesses be closed on New Year’s Day, July 4, Thanksgiv-ing and Christmas.

Budgeting in a
PANDEMICArea school superintendents working with what they have
In the best of times, putting together a school district’s budget is, if not a simple mat-ter, a pretty straightforward one.
These are not the best of times.
And with the start of a new fiscal year just weeks away, area superintendents are try-ing to draft budgets for their respective districts without all the numbers in place.
The state’s fiscal year 2020-21 budget passed by the
Oklahoma Legislature in an override of Gov. Kevin Stitt’s veto hit common education with a 2.5 percent cut or roughly $78.2 million less than last year’s $3 billion ap-propriation.
But then the federal govern-ment’s Cares Act sent $200 million to Oklahoma for schools.
That would seem at first glance to indicate districts will have more money to spend.

Daycare
dilemma30 percent of facilities closed shop during pandemic
Janell Wheat knows child-care on the front lines at Chris-tian Life Daycare in Purcell and as a board member of the Licensed Childcare Associa-tion of Oklahoma, the largest childcare organization in the state.
And you might say she’s updated her resume in 2020 to include childcare in a pan-demic.
Daycare facilities are some-times half humorously referred to as petri dishes. And it is generally true that whatever bug one child has can spread through that youngster’s peers at shocking speed.
Faced with a new virus that infects its human host with a never before seen disease for which there is no vaccine and no cure, it couldn’t be busi-ness as usual for the childcare industry.
In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, Christian Life Daycare put additional sanitation measures in place “just like every other business,” Wheat said.

A bill named for a Lexington Middle School football player who died after an on-field injury last fall was signed into law last week by Gov. Kevin Stitt.
The Riley Boatwright Act takes the first step on a path to ensuring emer-gency medical services are available at all athletic events or activities on
school grounds.Until now, those ser-
vices were on site at high school games, but not competitions in the lower grades.

When Taylor Marcum was a Dragon at Purcell High School, she played on the school’s first fast-pitch softball team to win a state championship.
She won an athletic schol-arship to Baylor University but after 1-1/2 years she wanted to be closer to home.
So she transferred to Oklahoma State, which also gave her an athletic scholar-ship to play softball.
She was a pitcher and also played first base.
In 2012, she graduated from OSU with a bachelor’s degree in athletic training.
But that was little more than a stepping stone to her career goal.
She next attended Langs-ton University and received her doctorate in physical therapy in 2015.
“I knew pretty early what I wanted to do,” she said last week in her office at Valir Physical Therapy here. “I had knee surgery in 2003 and went to physical therapy at Valir in Norman.
“I was intrigued by it and thought this is something I could do.”
Now she’s come full circle with Valir from patient to clinic manager.
Though she hasn’t played sports since leaving OSU, she hasn’t turned her back on the game entirely.
“I do some lessons for girls on pitching,” she said.
And with her degree in athletic training, she’s often on the sidelines at Purcell’s football and basketball games, ready to assist the school’s athletic trainer with any player injuries on field or court.
Taylor’s days are long.She’s usually up at 4:30
a.m. to work out at a facility near her home in Norman.

Purcell Municipal Hos-pital CEO Kem Scully told The Purcell Register the
preliminary date for the ground breaking for the new hospital is February 7 at noon.
The new 30,000 sq. ft.

The pulse of PMHPreliminary ground breaking for new hospital February 7
This Sunday while you’re prep-ping your favorite Superbowl snacks and getting ready for the plethora of commercials, don’t forget to train your eye on one of your own.
James Winchester, donning the famous red and yellow of the Kansas City Chiefs, will be hitting the field to throw the ball in the toughest situations.
He won’t be launching Hail Marys, or threading the needle, instead he will be taking the field to zip the ball backwards while his head is upside down.
Winchester is the starting long
snapper for the Chiefs and is play-ing in his first Super Bowl Sunday.
He is looking to do his part to bring home one of the most famous championships in the world.
If you don’t know who he is, he is perfectly okay with it.
“The thing with my job is that some people know I’m up here, but you don’t get a lot of attention being a long snapper,” the rangy Winchester said.
“It’s more of a service role,” he continued. “And if people don’t know my name that probably means I’m doing a pretty good job.

Bed bugs & COVID-19Fighting both at McClain County Courthouse
Proceeds of a $99,000-plus “soft” grant through the CARES Act will do more than keep the McClain
County Courthouse free of the coronavirus.
Sheriff Don Hewett is also using some of the funds to battle an ongo-ing bed bug problem in the McClain County Detention Center.
While the sheriff’s depart-ment is spending the bulk of the federal grant to pay the
salary of a second courthouse deputy and to purchase
masks and PPEs, it has also bought a
machine to sani-tize the aging
jail and installed a shower system.
Incoming prisoners are required to use the shower when they are booked.
The shower utilizes a soap solution that’s deadly to the tiny bloodsuckers and
is also supposed to kill the coronavirus which causes COVID-19.

In a world of hurtPhysician raising funds for paraplegic
On March 5, John Morris’ world turned upside down.
A bicycle accident in Hawaii severed the Purcell man’s spinal cord and left him a paraplegic.
Morris and Dr. Peter Chau were physical therapists here 40 years ago.
Morris worked as a physi-cal therapist for a local home health agency, but was recent-ly laid off due to home health cutbacks from Medicare. While awaiting responses
from prospective employers, Morris accepted an offer to join the Chau family on an Hawaiian vacation.
Chau became Morris’ close friend when they were fresh-men at the University of Okla-homa. Both graduated from OU as physical therapists. Chau was a physical therapist at Purcell Municipal Hospital years ago and is now an emer-gency physician in Southern California.

Sensible responseMcAdoo: No plan to close schools
Purcell Public Schools officials have no plans to close schools in response to the developing COVID-19 situation.
Still, the district is work-ing closely with the Okla-homa State Department of Education and Oklahoma State Health Department, as well as other agencies, to prepare for – and prevent – the spread of coronavirus.
The district’s recom-mendations to prevent the spread of the novel virus are largely drawn from common sense:
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
• Stay home when you are sick
• Cover coughs or sneezes with a tissue and then dis-pose of the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces with a regular household cleaning spray or wipe
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
And with spring break next week, the advice goes a little deeper.

through Central Oklahoma last Sunday afternoon kick-ing off light rain showers that lasted throughout much of Sunday night into Monday morning.
Purcell received .2”, bring-ing the year-to-date total to 6.4” for 2020.
Oklahoma City has re-corded 3.93” of rain so far this year. Normal for this time of year is 3.75”.
Additional rain is forecast for Friday and Saturday.
Vocal supportPHS choir serenades school board
Before getting down to business Monday evening, Purcell’s board of educa-tion was serenaded by high school choir members.
The group sang two songs a capella, previewing music they performed Tuesday at a district vocal music com-petition.
The meeting also included a report from Goldsby Con-
struction.Workers are on schedule
to complete the LED wire-less in the new junior high school this week.
In addition, all the dry erase boards and televisions have been installed and fur-niture should arrive soon, the board was told.
Masonry work on the weight room has also start-ed.
The board approved a con-
tract with Boynton Williams & Associates to prepare a FEMA grant application for the junior high school gymnasium.
The board also scheduled a special meeting at 4:30 p.m. April 8 for the sale of $615,000 in general obliga-tion building bonds.

An accurate census is needed to benefit Purcell Public Schools, the district’s board of education learned Monday evening.
Superintendent Dr. Sheli McAdoo directed the board’s attention to the district website for an explanation of what is at stake.
Beginning April 1, the 2020 Census will be available to complete.
According to the web-site, the census determines how much federal funding and services towns, cities and schools will receive each year for the next decade.
Each under counted person means an estimated $1,675 less per year (or $16,750 per person in Okla-homa over the next 10 years) in lost funding, grants and support for our communities.
For example, in 2015, the following U.S. Department of Education state aid programs re-ceived funding based on census data:
• Federal Pell Grant Program• Title 1 grants to local educational agen-
cies• Special education grants to states• Vocational rehabilitation state grants• Improving teacher quality state grants
• Career and technical education – basic grants to states
• English language acquisi-tion grants
• Adult education – basic grants to states
• Special education grants for infants and families
• Special education preschool grants
• Rural education• Safe and drug-free schools
and communities state grants• Supported employment
services for individuals with significant disabilities
• Program of protection and advocacy of individual rights
• Rehabilitation services cli-ent assistance program• Independent living state grants,
andThese programs would be hurt by
an under count on the census.The 2020 Census takes less than
15 minutes to complete, and the impact it has on our communities is
far-reaching and long-lasting.Schools can be effective in reaching
out to hard-to-count populations by providing information about the ben-efits of Census 2020 and encouraging participation.

Purcell Police get
BIG awardGraham Fishburn sworn in, Ted Cox, Danny Jacobs re-elected
Graham Fishburn was sworn in for another term and Ted Cox was elected to another term as Mayor but it was the Purcell Police Depart-ment that stole the show at Monday night’s regular city council meeting.
A project that now Purcell Police Chief Bobby Elmore started back in 1998 has come to fruition.
Purcell’s Police Depart-ment now joins just 21 other police departments across the state to be an Oklahoma Law Enforcement Accredited Program.
Kevin McCullough, a Law Enforcement Specialist with the Oklahoma Municipal Assurance Group (OMAG) presented Elmore and the department with Accredita-tion and Certification from OMAG.
“This is unique and spe-cial,” McCullough said. “Purcell has become one of the best in Oklahoma. We look at the policy manual. We look at procedures and compare them to the state’s
and national’s best practices.“Your department exceeded
the best in Oklahoma,” Mc-Cullough continued.
“It takes an entire agency to accomplish this,” Elmore said.
The chief gave credit to Accreditation Manager Cpl. Josh Van Ort for putting the finishing touches on the report and project.
Fishburn commended the
department, that has 20 full time officers.
“I applaud you to have an outside agency come in and have the reassurance from experts we are doing things correctly,” Fishburn said.
Another gesture of good will from the Purcell De-partment came from Officer Brooke Gaines.
Danny Jacobs, who was re-elected to another term as
Vice Mayor at the meeting in the Police Service Building, singled out an act that Gaines recently did.
Jacobs told a story about a senior couple from Ada who had been to a doctor’s ap-pointment in Oklahoma City. On their way back to Ada they got hungry and pulled into McDonald’s in Purcell.
Gaines was also in line and paid for the order the couple had placed.
“And the reason I know this story is because the man taught me chemistry and he told me the story,” Jacobs said during the meeting. “Of-ficer Gaines went above and beyond service above self.”
Captain James Bolling in-troduced a new officer who came from Cleveland County. Jeffery Hixon, Bolling said, will be a great addition to Purcell’s Department.
After an executive session the council approved collec-tive bargaining agreements with the FOP and IAFF for the fiscal year 2020-2021.

Spearheaded by Washington Superintendent Chris Reyn-olds, three area schools will be publishing a newspaper that will include such things as lesson plans and other school work for distance learning.
Working with Reynolds are Lexington Superintendent Chad Hall and Dibble Superin-tendent Chad Clanton and their respective faculty members
All three superintendents have been holding virtual meetings with teachers at every grade level and in every subject.
“It’s amazing what technol-
ogy will allow you to do,” Reynolds said. “We couldn’t have done this two years ago.”
And they couldn’t have done it this year without two signifi-cant cash donations.
One business and one indi-vidual made donations total-ling $150,000.
“That allowed us to purchase 300 Chromebooks and laptops for our secondary faculty to work with at home,” Reynolds said.

Who says you can’t have an Easter egg hunt and stay safe during a pandemic at the same time?
The annual Easter egg hunt is a treasured tradition for many, espe-cially the younger members in the congregation at Landmark Church.
This year with churches closed because of COVID-19, services celebrating the Risen Christ have been cancelled.
The Easter egg hunt was collateral damage – until the Rev. Justin Blanken-ship, Landmark pastor, and his staff put a new, stay safe spin on the event.

Closing in on 101 yearsStone to receive centenarian award
Editor’s note: Westbrook Gardens resident George Stone will celebrate his 101st birthday on April 17. The fol-lowing is taken from a feature in The Purcell Register on April 11, 2019.
A person can do a lot of liv-ing in 100 years.
George Stone accomplished enough for several lifetimes.
The longtime agricultural leader and ordained minister was one of eight children born into a farm family at Byars on
April 17, 1919.Of the family’s three boys
and five girls, Stone is the only one still living.
His parents farmed – “that’s all they ever did” – and it was that upbringing that taught him the work ethic that would become his hallmark in a re-markable career at the helm of the National Farmers Union.
“One thing I learned is never ask anybody to do something you can do for yourself,” he

Dale K. Graham Veterans Foundation
For the last 25 years, I have watched my Daddy, Dale Kent Graham, give 70 to 80 hours a week volunteering his time to help others.
My Dad retired from Tinker Air Force Base at 55 and has spent every day since then working for veterans. He started assisting veterans in
his shop next to his house, and people would line up; the yard was full of cars. Not for one minute did he do it for recognition; he did it because he cared sincerely about every single veteran and surviving spouse who sat across from him and told their story.
Soon the people he had helped started coming back to help him help others. All the while, he has been a wonder-ful dad and Papa to me, my siblings, and our children.
It was never about a big building, large donations, or his name on a plaque. It is about the veteran suffering from PTSD and his nightmares and the wife of a deceased veteran who cannot pay her rent - those are the people he has served.
After months of working through the pandemic, my Daddy, Dale Graham, has CO-VID-19. When everything shut down, and people stopped go-ing places, he was still putting in 50 to 60 hours a week filing claims, taking phone calls, and answering veterans’ emails.
I do not know if you have any idea about how much of himself my Dad has given to others throughout the years, but I can tell you he does it all entirely without compensation.
At this time, he is still battling COVID at home, and we are doing the best we can to keep him out of the hospital. Please keep him in your prayers as he fights to beat this virus that has taken many lives across the country. At 73-years-old, it is a bit tougher than it is for those of the younger generation.
We love you, Daddy! Get well soon! We can’t wait to hug you again.

Quite often when we partici-pate in Bible study, we discover something we haven’t noticed before. That happened to me over the past week. I received a couple of devotions from a website I sometimes check, and they encouraged me to think in a slightly different way.
In 1 John 5:6, we read “Jesus Christ was revealed as God’s child by water and blood.” Now we usually think of these as the water of baptism by John the Baptist and the blood that was shed on the cross. But what if we think of it in another way?
If we believe that Jesus was truly human, then when we sing Christmas songs and recall the story of Jesus’ birth, they don’t give the complete human story. There is no description of Mary telling Joseph that her water has broken. We don’t read about the travail of childbirth, with Mary’s agonized groans, nor do we think of the messi-ness of human birth. She may have even had a midwife in attendance.
Even if we believe in the miracle of Jesus’ conception, I think we can all agree that there was no difference in Mary’s birthing process from our own mother’s delivery of each of us. Jesus didn’t come out fresh and clean with a halo
around his head as we often see pictured. He was born wet and slimy, with an umbilical cord like any other baby. And most likely, his cry was heard to high heaven as he exercised his new lungs.
In Luke 2:12, the angel of the Lord told the shepherds that “This will be a sign for you. The child will be wrapped in cloth and lying in a manger.”
Now, I don’t know about you, but I don’t see any mention of animals in this part of Jesus’ story, no matter which of the Gospels you choose to read. But in none of them, there are no lowing cattle, no braying donkey, no stamping sheep, no sleepy-eyed camels outside. I imagine the shepherds left someone to watch over the flock, but I don’t think they brought their sheep with them. (In my opinion.)
But… there’s a manger, so there must’ve been animals! It was likely dingy, loud, messy, grimy, and stinky. The evangelists probably just forgot to mention the friendly beasts. Surely God wants this corrected. So we sing about the donkey in the corner stall, paint lambkins into the scene, arrange cattle in crèches where they belong, and let’s even put a cat in the rafters to keep the
mice down.In our mind’s eye, animals
have become part of the gospel. After all, it wouldn’t be Christ-mas without them. Newborn Child, give us imagination to see who’s missing and bring them into the stable. You were born for us. Your bright realm is where no one, critter or hu-man, is ever missing and no creature great or small is left out of God’s Love.
No matter who you are, or where you are on life’s journey, you’re welcome to be with us. We invite you to join us at 9:30 a.m. on Sundays to spend some time with God. We will be celebrating the first Commu-nion of 2021 this Sunday. All are welcome to participate. We have plenty of room to spread out in the sanctuary to distance ourselves, and we have masks and hand sanitizer available.
The next Food Bank Give-Away will be held on Saturday, January 16, from 12 to 4 p.m. We ask that everyone wear masks and pay attention to social distancing.
Our address is 631 East Ash, near Lexington High School. For more information, please call the church at (405) 527-3506 to leave a message, or contact Pastor David directly at (405) 406-6174.

December 27, 2020 was the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. The Feast of the Holy Family is a liturgical celebration in the Catholic Church in honor of Jesus of Nazareth, his mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and his foster father, Saint Joseph, as a family. The primary pur-pose of this feast is to present the Holy Family as a model for Christian families.
The Gospel reading is Luke 2:22-40. Jesus was taken to the temple as an infant to be consecrated to the Lord. Two older devoted servants of the Lord, Simeon and Anna, each had prayed for years for the consolation of Israel and the redemption of Jerusalem.
They recognized Jesus as the fulfillment of their prayers. Mary and Joseph were amazed at what was said about Jesus even though Gabriel had re-vealed to them prior to Jesus’ birth that he would be the Mes-siah. Verse 40 says, “The child
grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him.”
We know that God could have sent Jesus to earth in any fashion he pleased. The fact that he arrived as a baby needing the attention of fam-ily may be indicative of God’s desire for each of us to be part of a family because it brings us support and encouragement to grow to our fullest.
In the second reading, Co-lossians 3:12-21, St. Paul reinforces this concept of sup-port and respect. Brothers and sisters: 12 Put on, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kind-ness, humility, gentleness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and forgiving one an-other. 14 And over all these put on love 15 And let the peace of Christ control your hearts and be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another,
singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giv-ing thanks to God the Father through him.
Let us pray that as we near the beginning of another year that we will practice compas-sion, kindness, and patience with everyone we encounter.

The dawning of the New Year is a time to review the past and look into the crystal ball of 2021. There is no way to capture all the events of 2020, but we can concentrate on the wonderful stories that were told
and lived during this past year.We would like to express our
appreciation to all those who prayed, supported and attended Johnson Road Baptist Church during this past year.
We appreciate the planners, workers and volunteers from the City of Purcell and sur-rounding communities that made the Purcell Lakeside a dreamland of Christmas joy.
The scripture text for Sun-day’s sermon was taken from the fourth gospel in the New Testament, John 9:1-7. The entire 41 verses in the ninth chapter of the Gospel of John record one of the many miracles performed by Jesus and the response by His detractors.
John records the account of a man born blind who encoun-tered the Master of Life. Jesus spit on the ground and made some mud in His hands and applied it to the blind man’s
Johnson Road Baptist Churcheyes and sent him to the Pool of Siloam to wash away the muddy mixture of spit and dirt.
The blind man obeyed Jesus and was miraculously healed. The blind man received both physical and spiritual sight.
The religious leaders tried vainly to find fault with the blind man, his parents, his friends and healing on the Sabbath day. The innocent blind man said, “I don’t know the man that healed me. I simply did what the stranger told me. I went to the Pool of Siloam, washed my eyes and now I see.”
In today’s world we are tempted to minimize God’s involvement in dealing with COVID-19. Hopefully we will never deny God’s power in providing another miracle. A miracle vaccine has been developed, delivered and ad-

virus swept across our land. In the Year of 2020 our God of miracles blessed our land with a vaccine to protect us from death.
My file cabinets hold many wonderful memories of my Christian friends who have moved on to Glory Land.
John C. Cobb was born Dec. 9, 1915 in Pottawatomie County. There were 10 chil-dren in the Jim and Sophie Cobb family.
The Cobb family lived on farms that were scattered from Little Axe to Asher, Okla.
A big change in life oc-curred when John received notice that he was drafted. Jan. 30, 1941 in Oklahoma City, John became a soldier.
He became a part of the fa-mous 45th Infantry Division. During the summer of 1942
the 45th Division traveled some 400 miles from Abilene, Texas, to Fort Polk, La., on foot and truck.
On June 8, 1943, a troop ship sailed out of Newport News, Va., for an undisclosed assignment in Europe. Before returning to Oklahoma, John Cobb registered 511 days in combat.
While serving in Sicily, Italy, France and Germany, John drove an ammunition truck. He earned a Silver Ser-vice Star and a Bronze Service Star. On Sept. 24, 1945 John Cobb was discharged. John returned to the oil fields.
Three cute little girls lived next to John’s apartment in Oklahoma City. John gave the girls Christmas presents. Evelyn, Marsha and Pat told their mother Zelpha they had found themselves a daddy. On Feb. 10, 1947 John and Zelpha were united in marriage. The
Cobb family increased to four with the arrival of Johnna.
John retired from the Sohio Oil Company. In 1980 the Cobb family moved to Purcell and became members in the First Baptist Church.
John was admitted to Pres-byterian Hospital in February. On March 3, 1993 the family was told that John would be leaving this world. The nurse suggested the family tell John good-bye.
With Zelpha and Johnna at his side, Jesus arrived. John opened his eyes as if to say good-bye, relaxed and trav-eled home to heaven after 77 fruitful years in this world.
Sermon title for this Sunday is “Be Careful What You Say and Do.”

Green Avenue Church of Christ The Wednesday evening
auditorium class continued a study of the fifth chapter of Ephesians where the apostle Paul exhorts Christians to be imitators of God and not be accused of improper behavior or bad language.
The Sunday morning adult class, studying the subject of influence, emphasized that in order to influence others unto good one must themselves be good. It was noted that it takes constant and consistent effort
to maintain a good influence.During the morning service
Keith Shackleford read Luke 11:1-4 and discussed the example prayer Jesus gave to the disciples. Particular attention was given to what this prayer revealed about the attitude of Jesus and how those attitudes should shape all disciples.
The Sunday evening sermon was entitled “Virus!” The les-son examined four types of spiritual virus’ that can infect
Christians today: apathy, ar-rogance, fear, and lack of knowledge.
The church meets at 407 Jackson and Green Avenue. Worship assemblies are at 10:45 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. every Sunday and Bible classes at 9:45 a.m. Sunday and 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Welcome to the final “front porch” visit of 2020. It is funny that, as I sat down to write, the one biblical hero that inevitably seems to come to mind is the old statesman Caleb.
When you sit and talk about Caleb, we also have to talk about those unbelievable un-believing Israelites with whom Caleb has to deal. I say ‘unbe-lievable’ because of how ab-solutely faithless they prove to be, when they just as well could have been faithful. Their pitiful, flailing faithlessness, really, is nothing short of unbelievable. I don’t know a better word for it.
But Caleb stands out as a ray of light amidst that dark genera-tion. He is one of the world’s great ‘Can’ men. We read of our share of ‘cannot’ men in the Bible – We see many of those kinds of folks around us every day – but to find a ‘Can-man’ such as Caleb is a rarity.
I’m not sure I’ve ever en-countered a more positive, determined, faithful, encour-aging, purpose-driven, God-fearing man than Caleb. That description may sound extraor-dinary, but that’s exactly what this Caleb is!
When the twelve spies in Moses’ day go over to spy out the land of Canaan and come back with a glowing report,
you would think that such an occasion would end in an im-mediate God-driven assault on their enemies, resulting in a resounding victory and a return home to the Promised Land.
You would think.But we know things don’t
always go the way we think they should. This Israelite gen-eration looks at the giants over in Canaan, then looks at how puny they are in comparison, and says, “Why, we’re noth-ing but grasshoppers,” and the whole generation tucks its tail and runs (Numbers 13:33).
This scared, “let’s just give up” attitude infuriates Caleb, the great man of faith; and it perplexes the great warrior Joshua standing alongside of him, too. They had never seen such faithlessness just come out of the woodwork unimpeded the way it does that day.
Oh, Caleb stands up and delivers one of the greatest “halftime” speeches you’ve ever heard, the theme being,
“Listen, fellas, we can do this. We can win this battle! Don’t you know that God is on our side? Don’t you know that we cannot fail with God with us!”
But halftime speeches only work if the players are willing to borrow the courage of the orator standing before them
and go out to the field and lay everything they have on the line. But these Israelites aren’t even going to leave the locker room to take the field for the second half.
As a result, our two heroes must endure four grueling de-cades longing for the Promised Land. But they never give up, through it all. Caleb will be 85 years old before he ever sees the Promised Land, and Joshua is close to the same.
But the battle, as we know, does not go always to the swift. It is he who is determined who wins the prize, and there are no men in the Bible more determined. After nearly half a century, they eventually will cross the Jordan into Canaan.
So, today—Determine to cross over into 2021 with Caleb’s vibrant spirit burning deep in your heart. And when someone comes along this year – and they will – and says, “Nah, we can’t do that. It just won’t work.”
You will be well-prepared to say, “Oh, no sir, that’s where you’re wrong. We can do it, and, with the Lord’s help, we will. You see, I’ve chosen to be a ‘can’ man, and I’m going to be one all the way.

The story of the Seminole Na-tion’s migration to Oklahoma from the Everglades of south Florida begins after the Second Seminole War of 1835, Band Chief Wayne Shaw said.
“But one thing to note is that the war never technically ended,” Shaw said. “About 200 to 300 of our men stayed behind and fought off the United States armies until they eventually stopped pursuing them.”
Those warriors became known as The Unconquerable, while the rest of what became the Seminole Nation of Okla-homa was forced to travel to its allotted lands in Indian Territory. Today, the tribe is headquartered in Wewoka and its land is all contained within Seminole County.
“The former lands of the Seminoles were taken and bought out by the government for 50 cents an acre,” Shaw said. “Then, they turned around and sold us present-day Seminole County for even more. At that point, we are left with no money and no valuable territory. The land rush of ‘76? That was the biggest slap in my face because we held that land way before any of the settlers did.”
The Seminole people wanted to remain in Florida for several reasons, the most substantial be-ing their investment in the land and agriculture and the years of work that went into building their homes and way of life. The move to Indian Territory was a blow to every aspect of the

chief for 50 years and has served 40 years on the Seminole Na-tion Council as well as the Five Civilized Tribes’ Inter-tribal Council.
“I try to tell my kids that this is a give-and-take world. The more you give, the better you will leave this world,” Shaw said.
“I never close my door to anybody. If you come to my
house tomorrow and say you need a roof over your head, I can give you that. You may have to sleep on the floor, but you’ll have a place to sleep. That’s how my grandfather operated, and that’s how our ancestors did it for hundreds of years.”
Shaw bemoans the systemic assimilation he said has been carried out against his tribe for more than 180 years.
“It all comes back to assimi-lation in this country, and I’m tired of our culture being always under attack. We are losing our rights to our nation,” he said.
Greg P. Chilcoat is presi-dent of the Seminole Nation and oversees the tribe’s busi-ness matters, including joint meetings, employee training
sessions and collective social activity. Tribal enrollment is about 19,000.
Chilcoat served last year as president of the Inter-Tribal Council, made up of leaders from the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee (Creek) and Seminole nations. Together, they steward about 750,000 Native Americans across the country.
The history and culture of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma are documented at the Seminole Nation Museum in Wewoka, which is open every day but Sundays and federal holidays.
Seminole Nation Days, a celebration of Seminole cul-ture and heritage, is held every September.

A powerful, slow-moving winter storm blew through south central and central Oklahoma last Tuesday night dumping up to four inches of snow in the Heart of Oklahoma.
Snow continued Wednesday morn-ing with snow flurries lasting most of the day.
The frozen precipitation forced school closings all across the area for not only Wednesday but Thursday as well.
Marlow’s basketball teams elected not to travel to Lexington Tuesday night, forcing the games to be played Saturday afternoon in Lexington.
Snow plows were called out to scrape off highways and byways and streets inside city limits to allow drivers the means to travel about.
Luckily, there was little to no ice with the system that dumped up to eight inches of snow in Pauls Valley.
The swath of snow came up from the southwest portion of the state near Lawton right up the I-44 corridor through the Heart of

In Tuesday’s Purcell City Council election, Fishburn and Boyle were the top two in the ballot box.
However, neither won 50 percent of the votes cast forcing a runoff for the Division 1 post.

Plunging right inSaturday’s Polar Plunge all for Special Olympics
Mark your calendars and set your watches.
At 10 a.m. Saturday, several law enforcement officers from McClain County will take leave of their senses and risk pneumonia or worse by diving into the frigid pool at Whitewater Water Park in Oklahoma City.
They are on a mission, raising funds for Okla-homa’s Special Olympics.
Sgt. David Childress with the McClain County Sheriff’s Department was the top individual fund raiser at a previous Polar Plunge.
That was also the year the McClain County team snared first place af-
ter raising more than $10,000.
This year’s team has already surpassed the $10,000 mark, Childress said.
The team includes of-ficers from the Purcell Police Department and the sheriff’s department.
The sheriff’s personnel taking the Polar Plunge this year include Chil-dress, Lt. Billy Scott, Deputy Scott Gibbons and members of the jail staff.
Childress is an old hand at plunging into chilled depths when the weather is likely fine for swimming in the southern hemisphere, but definitely

The Chickasaw Nation Department of Health has introduced COVID-19 temporary testing centers to provide patients with ac-cess for symptoms relating to the coronavirus.
These tented structures are located at Chickasaw
Nation Health Clinics in Ardmore and Purcell in addition to the Chickasaw Nation Medical Center in Ada.
The tents went up in Purcell late last week.
Tents are located in parking lot areas of these
facilities and stocked with necessary medical equip-ment to assess patients quickly for potential infec-tion of COVID-19.
The areas are designed as drive-throughs so patients do not exit their vehicle. The tents keep patients
separated from the healthy population while providing quick and timely care.

It’s no accident that a song is never far from Corbin Hall’s lips or music from his soul.
Neither is it an accident that he sees his future bring-ing voices together in choral harmony.
His musical achievements include four years partici-pation in the Summer Arts Institute at Quartz Mountain.
He even found something to sing about in this, his final year, when the COVID-19 pandemic forced the revered institute to resort to distance learning in place of in-person immersion in the arts.
Choir classes were every day last week, Corbin said Friday.
The instruction covered all aspects of choirs, including what makes a choir member and what makes a choir, he continued.
There were also voice lessons in a master class set-ting. Participants like Corbin were coached on how to re-main healthy when singing.
The weeklong curriculum reached into the evenings with guest artists sharing their experiences in making music a successful career and professional struggles along the way.
Corbin is definitely count-ing on a career in vocal mu-sic, just not in show business.
He just graduated from Purcell High School and in the fall will attend the Uni-versity of Oklahoma where he will major in vocal music education.
There’s a need in smaller Oklahoma schools for some-one to teach choral music.
Corbin first sang in a choir setting in seventh grade. But he wasn’t able to fully participate in choir until his senior year when the district finally hired a vocal music

Purcell Firefighters had a busy day Monday answering two calls on Interstate 35 for auto accidents and two other calls that afternoon.
First responders were called to I-35 at 9:52 a.m. for what turned out to be a non-injury accident just north of mile marker 92 in the southbound lanes.
A trailer cam unhooked from a pickup and went into a ravine.
Purcell City Councilman Graham Fishburn handily won a new term for his Division 1 seat in the primary election
Tuesday against challenger Bill Boyle.
Fishburn, who polled 740 votes to Boyle’s 451, had this to say about the outcome.
“Thank you to everyone who supported me for this elec-tion. I’m greatly humbled and honored to serve. I would also like to thank my opponent for running a good campaign and I appreciate his willingness to
serve. I will continue to work hard as a councilman and help make Purcell the best it can be.”
Boyle didn’t respond to The Purcell Register’s request for a comment.
The other big news coming out of the election was the apparent statewide victory for State Question 802, which put in the voters’ hands the decision to accept the return of Okla-homa tax dollars to the state to fund Medicaid expansion.
With 98.92 percent of pre-cincts reporting, the statewide vote was leaning in favor of passage with 336,314 in favor to 329,574 against. However, the question didn’t find much support among McClain Coun-ty voters who cast 4,967 votes

Allen takes over the reinsAs Lexington City Manager
John D. Montgomery
The Purcell Register
Former Lexington Police Chief Deana Allen is now settling in as the city man-ager.
Allen had been serving as interim city manager but the council pulled the interim title off and gave her the job.
Allen, a 1992 graduate of Purcell High School, got into law enforcement in a unique way.
In the spring of 1990 she was instructed to participate in a career day in Sue Hurt’s class at PHS.
“I had no idea what I wanted to do but I did have an interest in law enforcement,” Allen said. “I decided to shadow the police for a day.”
Darrell Moring was the police chief. Kathy Fleck, who would later become an OHP Trooper, and David Tompkins, now with the McClain County Sheriff’s Department, were patrol of-ficers that day.
“I watched Kathy work an accident in what used to be Spencer’s parking lot and she answered questions about being a female in law en-forcement,” Allen recalled.
“David taught me about operating the radar while observing traffic in the school zones and shared the pros and cons of being in law enforcement.”
Tonya Blair-Wheeler, who was the dispatcher at the time, taught me about the du-ties and responsibilities of a dispatcher what an important and vital role they play, not only for the caller, but also for the officer on the street,” she said.
That was the day she decided to go into law en-forcement.
She was eventually hired as a dispatcher at Lexington, rising to the role of police chief.

New Trinity United Meth-odist Church Pastor Susan Whitley had a bit of a delay answering her call to the ministry.
She and her husband, Mark who is also an ordained Meth-odist Minister, are settling into their new digs at Trinity. Last Sunday was Susan’s third as pastor here.
They moved from Ski-atook, where she was pastor for 7 1/2 years, June 26 and her first day to preach was June 28.
Rev. Whitley has also pas-
tored churches in Coweta, a two point charge at Mounds-Schulter and Drummond.
She said she was first called to the ministry at age 15 attending youth camps and rallies and doing evangelistic service.
“I felt like God wanted me to be a minister but the church where I grew up didn’t have a place for women,” she said.
A 23-year career as a first grade teacher came along when she heard the Lord still calling.
“I had served in a lot of different ways but in early 2000 I realized that call was

The new pastor at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church knew as a child he wanted to be a Catholic Priest.
Rev. John Peter Swamina-than, who finished his sec-ond Sunday as pastor of Our Lady last Sunday, reports he is excited to be in Purcell and looks forward to getting to know his parishioners and the community.
Fr. John Peter reported he lived in a very small community that consisted of 100 Catholic families.
There were no priests for such small communities so missionaries from London
were sent to India to pastor small churches.
Those priests were such an inspiration to him that he decided as a seven or eight year old child he was going to be a priest.
“Those priests never went back to Europe,” he said. “They would stay in India and be buried there.
“I was an altar boy and was so impressed by their sacrifices. I was at the church all the time opening it up for daily Mass at 5 a.m. for the

Return
to LearnMcAdoo: “Dragons are ready to start the year August 13”
Purcell School Superinten-dent Dr. Sheli McAdoo shared the district’s Return to Learn
plan to board members on Monday.
She cited a survey of t eache r s and par-ents that
indicated they want
kids back in school.
And that’s the plan – with some caveats and the realization that the closure of classes and the district will be possible.
“We will follow CDC guide-lines to the best of our ability,” she said.
In addition, the district is working with the Oklahoma State Department of Health, which has a 4-stage green through red alert system rank-ing counties by new daily cases of the virus per 100,000 population.
At this time, there are no red or high risk counties. McClain County is one of four orange (moderate risk) counties. There are 62 yellow (low risk) counties and 11 green (new normal) counties.
The district’s focus will be to limit exposure to the virus

Purcell nurse faces COVID-19 on a daily basis
In the era of COVID-19, it is good that Myka Rhodes works
better under pressure.Rhodes, of Purcell, is a registered
nurse in the emergency department at OU Medical Center.
She is on the front line for 12 hours at a stretch when confirmed or prob-able COVID-19 patients arrive at the
hospital. It is hospital policy to test every patient
who presents with COVID-19 symptoms.Those results can be days in coming,
however, and once the patients leave the emergency department, Rhodes has no con-tact with them. She never knows the results
of the COVID-19 tests administered during her shift or the fate of the patients she treats.
The rule of thumb for Rhodes and her co-workers is treat probables as positives until testing shows they aren’t.
“We see all kinds of patients,” she said. “We see COVID, we see trauma – any kind of patient.”
The medical center has set up tents outside to control the flow of patients and separate the COVID-19 patients from compromised patients.
When it comes to planning in the midst of a pandemic, acquiring personal protective equipment for staff and supplies needed to

Milestone birthdayMillie Brockhaus celebrates 104!
Wynnewood, Oklahoma, April 18, 1916.
That’s when Jessy and Archie Wilson welcomed the birth of Mildred Florene, the fourth of their seven children.
On Saturday, Millie Brock-haus celebrated her 104th birthday at Sunset Estates in Purcell.
Abut 15 of Millie’s descen-dants were there, too, albeit on the outside looking in.
The nursing home is en-forcing a strict lockdown, determined to protect its vulnerable residents from the deadly COVID-19.
Millie’s daughter, Suzanne Clark, said the family ma-triarch particularly enjoyed watching the youngest family members through the window.
“She loves the little ones,” Clark said.
Birthday greetings were shared via posters held up to the glass. Clark brought a big birthday cake, which staff ac-cepted at the door.

Pandemic delayRegina Clark sentencing reset to July
The COVID-19 pandemic will delay sentencing for a former Purcell woman who pleaded guilty in February to 18 felonies committed more than five years ago.
Regina K. Clark, 53, of
Euliss, Texas, was to have been in McClain County Dis-trict Court Thursday morning to be sentenced.
Now she will be sentenced at 1:30 p.m. July 28.
Clark was a co-owner of Sooner RV north of Purcell on Dec. 17, 2014 when she
brandished a .357 revolver at her then-husband, Brett Clark, and three employees. He had filed for divorce three days earlier.
She fired several shots at

Living in Oklahoma, it’s good to brush up on the climatologi-cal basics behind tornadoes and learn what ranks them among the “most violent ... of all atmospheric storms.”

Those basics start with knowing the difference between a tornado watch and tornado warning.

Reopening government offices and courts Government offices are
feeling their way as the state begins to reopen for business.
In any event, it won’t be “business as usual” for some time.
The City of Purcell on Friday released its guidelines governing the reopening of City Hall on Monday.
Those include:• Only customers paying
by cash or credit card will be allowed into the lobby. Anyone paying with a check or money order needs to con-tinue dropping their payment
into the drop box on the east side of the foyer.
• Everyone entering City Hall must wear a mask. It was reported at Monday’s city council meeting that only about 30 percent of walk-in customers are complying with the requirement. Those without masks are being asked to leave.
• Entry and exit must be through the west door on Main Street,
• No more than two people in the lobby at the same time.
• Practice social distancing and maintain at least six feet
between yourself and the other person in line.
• Sanitize in and sanitize out. Liquid hand sanitizer is available in the lobby.
• If using the drop box for utility payments, include the service address, account number or copy of the bill with payment. Do NOT drop cash payment in the box.
• Do not mail cash pay-ment. If mailing your pay-ment, include the service address, account number or

The first time McClain County Sheriff’s Sgt. David Childress saw Viken Detec-tion Company’s HBI-120 handheld x-ray machine in
use was at a drug interdiction class in Mississippi in 2017.
He came away impressed and convinced in equal mea-sure that, need notwithstand-ing, the device valued at $40,000 was simply unattain-
able given the department’s budget.
That all changed in 2020 in the middle of a global pandemic.
With the blessings of Sheriff Don Hewett, Childress and Deputy Tony Simpson ap-plied for a “very competitive” grant and the McClain County Sheriff’s Department was one of five agencies nationwide selected by Viken to receive one of the machines gratis.
“Not only was the tool val-ued at $40,000,” Hewett said, “they (Viken Detection) flew and paid all expenses to Boston for a 2-day training period for the two deputies.”
The training consisted of scanning numerous types of metal, wood, cardboard boxes and cloth, as well as how to record all scans as evidence.
Awareness of laws pertain-ing to search and seizures was another topic of intense training.
