Kingfisher (Okla.) Times & Free Press Sunday, April 6, 2014 5 People with traditional land telephone lines will have their address identified by their telephone numbers. Their addresses have been recorded along with telephone numbers on system computers. Those calling on cell phones will have to provide their physical location, at least for now. The exten- sive county road addressing system will help in that regard. When cell towers are fully implemented, cell phone data will be placed in memory at the center, also. This is important because so many telephone customers have gone to cellular phones only, including phones at home. Global warming fan challenged Investors Business Daily reports that 17 news organiza- tions have filed freedom of information claims to read the emails of Michael Mann, the Penn State scientist who in the late 1950s came up with the hockey stick-shaped graph predicting sharply warming Earth temperatures. The filing came from Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, according to the Columbia Journalism Review. The group is seeking Mann’s emails with other academics during his years at the University of Virginia. That period coincides with the ClimateGate emails, that revealed that some climate scientists were doctoring their findings to meet their agenda. The major media have been major boosters of the global warming initiative, giving it heavy and sympathetic cover- age while ignoring skeptics who had major concerns about the theory. In some cases, media instituted policy barring all coverage of “deniers.” Isn’t it about time some closed minds opened? Perhaps data showing that Earth temperatures have been cooling for the last 17 years finally penetrated some skulls. Don’t expect an about-face on the issue. Just think about how that would look to readers and viewers. Despite a massive campaign over two decades to con- vince world citizens that the Earth is in dire jeopardy from over-heating, IBD cites a Gallup poll that indicates that among those polled on 15 issues of concern the percentage concerned about global warming dropped from 42 to 24 percent. The United Nations continues to push the issue. Britain’s Independent says the United Nations will issue a report soon claiming that “Climate change will displace hundreds of millions of people by the end of this century.” The UN’s desire to establish itself as the one-world gov- ernment might just color its decisions. There remain those in the academic world who remain as wild-eyed over global warming as ever. Lawrence Torcello of the Rochester Institute of Technolo- gy wants those who fund and receive funding for “climate denial” to be incarcerated and held “criminally and morally negligent.” Torcello, a “philosophy” professor, possibly should ex- pose his emails on the subject, also. How strange that a college professor wants to kill freedom of speech. School bonds lose The Kingfisher School District proposed bond issue for school improvements failed last Tuesday. We wish we could say we were surprised. Several local district residents reported receiving un- signed anti-bond letters in the mail the weekend before the election. That is people’s right but we wonder why the author didn’t sign his/her name to the material. Was he-she ashamed of it? Anyway, the people have spoken and it’s time to move on. That’s the way representative government is supposed to work, deciding matters as close to home as possible. There will surely be matters we can agree on later – to improve our schools and community. View (Continued From Page 4) Malkin (Continued From Page 4) is grotesque. So is letting Obama do a touchdown shuffle without recalling the botched website launch and the agony it caused. There was a high overall degree of public satisfaction with health insurance, before ObamaCare, but all we ever heard about were the prob- lems, the hard cases, the 50 million uninsured… Hey, wait a min - ute.

Sure, Medicaid enrollment is way up – we could have honestly debated and passed a big Medicaid expansion without the rest of ObamaCare – and the Pres- ident mentioned 3 million young people who get to stay on their parents’ plans now, but add that to the best-case million newly insured, and you’re still nowhere near 50 million souls.

100 years agoWe have a few successful

farmers in different parts of Kingfisher County who are making farming pay, even in the unfavorable years. Their knowledge and experience and methods will slowly percolate out through their neighbors and acquaintanc-es, and in a generation might reach the furthest limits of the county. However, with an active Farm Demonstra-tor this valuable knowledge might be made the common property of all, and that with-in a very few years.

75 years agoClyde Corbin, senior vo-

cational agriculture student at Kingfisher High School, won the annual state Future Farmer dairy judging contest Saturday in Norman.

Placing seventh in the Sooner State dairy judging contest in Enid last Septem-ber, this top ranking FFA boy went ahead of the old mark to garner 832 points of a possi-ble 900 to win over 200 other boys. There were 20 points between Clyde and his near-est ranking competitor, who made 812.

The team from Kingfisher High School ranked sixth among 31 teams. Clyde Triplett placed second on this team, with only four points between him and Milton Snethen, third team member.

In the individual contest, Charles Schoelen scored 739, Earl Grabow, 703, Norman Smith, 654, and Carl Mackey, 670.

50 years agoThe Barefoot Club had a

benefit dance Sunday to raise

funds for their pow-wow. The Dog Patch Club had their benefit last week. Made over hundred dollars, at Eagle City Hall. The Hob City Club had their benefit at Excelsior Hall Saturday.

More than 950 persons attended the Kingfisher Di-amond Jubilee kickoff bar-becue and quilt auction held Saturday in Sts. Peter and Paul Parish Hall, and about 200, including the interna-tional students who were guests of Rotary club mem-bers and others, attended the dance held at Memorial Hall.

25 years agoDanny Randall of King-

fisher, a computer repair student at Canadian Valley Vo-Tech, has been inducted into the National Vocation-al-Technical Honor Society.

Letter to the editorNo wind towers

As a Kingfisher native I will support no wind towers. As a landowner and third generation farmer I respect the homeowners and the oth-er farmers that live in rural Kingfisher County.

Now I am the tenant on other local farms. The land-owner doesn’t care, they want their money. But the farmer has to put up with the mess.

Letter to the editorWind investment

I think it's timely and worth sharing with your readers the news about wind power's incredible invest-ment in our state.

According to a new eco-nomic impact study con-ducted by Economic Impact Group, LLC out of Oklaho-ma City, wind power has invested over $6 billion in 26 facilities in Oklahoma wind farms over the last 10 years while creating over 4,000 in-direct jobs with $340 million in income.

More importantly, it has created 1,600 direct full-time jobs that have provided $15 million in wages to local, direct full-time workers and provided over 3,000 mega-watts of clean energy.

Locally, the proposed Kingfisher Wind project is expected to directly hire about 165 workers during construction and support an additional 100 jobs elsewhere in the economy.

Property improvements made by wind power de-velopers created a tax base that's is paying more than $22 million a year in payments to local landowners and more than $42 million a year in property taxes to Oklahoma school districts and counties around the state following the short abatement period.

It goes to show you that wind power helps drive economic development throughout our communities and state, which benefits all property owners.

The best part is, the in-vestment isn't going to stop here; with more transmission capacity being built out and planned, there could be over 5,000 megawatts of clean energy development over the next 10 years.

Wind energy is amongst the safest forms of energy for us and our environment and uses virtually no water. Wind farms already installed in Oklahoma help us conserve more than 2.3 billion gallons a year of water and are also helping extend the life of other natural resources such as gas.

The economic impact from wind farm develop-ment, along with its ability to provide clean, renewable energy is a win-win for ev-eryone.

Leveling Whether you’re just hanging a picture or building an entire house, getting things level is part of the project. And often there’s a tip that’ll help you get the job done quicker, easier and more accurately.

HERE ARE THREEOF MY FAVORITES:

1. POOR MAN’S LASER LEVEL. A long level line can be easily made by using a standard size level to get the height and 2 level marks, and using a chalk line to extend the level marks across the wall.

2

3. SMARTPHONE LEVEL. Whether built-into the your smartphone or downloaded, it really comes in handy for small leveling tasks or when you’re in a pinch.

3 TIPS FOR

...because having the RigHT TOOL for the job makes all the difference! WALTER BUILDING CENTER...not just products, but real service that you only get in a small town. Because getting the RigHT ADViCE before you start your project saves time, hassle and money.

Brian Walter

2. EASY APPLiANCE LEVELiNg. Use a magnetic level to free up both hands and a pry bar to lift the appliance and take pressure off the leveling feet.
