Insurance Commissioner Visits County

By C.F. DavidO k l a h o m a I n s u r a n c e

Commissioner John Doak visited Cimarron County on Friday.

Doak said that one law passed could cut down on the number of Oklahomans (an estimated 670 thousand), driving each year without insurance. Doak explained that now, if a vehicle is stopped and found to be without insurance, the officer can pull the license plate off the vehicle.

Doak said that each of the last four years of his term, he has upheld his original campaign promise to visit every county at least once a year.

On Friday, Joe Dorman, of Rush Springs, a Dem. candidate for governor, got up about 5:30 and drove over (from Guymon) for breakfast at the Rockin’ A Cafe and drove around town. I thought it would be fun to come over there since I was so close. I had a good visit with the fellows present. Not sure if I got their votes, but I showed them I am willing to listen and am not afraid to discuss the issues. I appreciated their hospitality and it is proof that all the problems in the world can be solved every morning in coffee shops wherever you are in Oklahoma.

Hofmeister opposes BarresiBy C.F. DavidJoy Hofmeister is a Republican, running against Supt.

Barresi for Supt. of Public Instruction. She passed through Cimarron County last Friday.

Hofmeister is a former school teacher, a business woman and mother of four.

She has been a member of the Oklahoma State School Board of Education (the only educator on the board), until she resigned to run for office.

“I saw missed opportunities in respect to local control. We need to work with teachers, and make sure that parents aren’t shut out.”

“There has been an over emphasis on testing. We need assessment, and more time on instruction.”

“We need accountability. [In regards to] the A-F school report card we need useful, reliablile information. Janet (Supt. Barresi), ignored rescources from OU and OSU.”

“We need to set high expectations, for our students..our schools. But we need support to do that.

“I raised four kids K-12 in the public schools. But we need strong neighborhoods, communities. We have failed leader-ship at the state level. We need to set our expectations and then get out of the way.”

State Supt. Ja-net Barresi Cam-paigns Cimarron

CountyBy C.F. David“I have implemented all of

my reforms,” Barresi said.“I have been under a con-

stant barrage from unions and administrators fighting change.”

Asked about the Common Core, Barresi said she expects a roll-back, but that standards will be re-written.

“I have asked for enough time for the standards to be re-written. But I want the citizens and parents involved.”

“It is important that we buy into [the standards] I intend to make them the best and we should be done by 2016.”

When asked what might happen to the standards should she lose the coming election, Barresi replied, “First of all I am not going to lose. It is critical that we maintain con-sistency.”

“A lot of work has already been done.”

She then referenced the A-F school report card. “We must maintain teacher’s evalua-tions.”

“In my second term we need to strengthen reading. We will move kids forward.”

“I want to expand parent choice of where their kids go to school; I intend to encour-age home schooling. I believe in all forms of choice.”

“I am an advocate for strong accountability.”

“Our teachers need a raise; some of them qualify for food stamps. We need to take care of our own. Teachers need a career ladder so they can stay in the classroom.

Parents need to read more to their children; they need to talk to their children.”

“Ninety-five percent of our children can learn to read with competence; but, children living in poverty usually start school two years behind. That means if they are still reading “Horton Hears a Who” in third grade, they won’t be ready for “Little House on the Prairie” in the fourth.”

Do you know that we all haveselective thinking and memories?We pick and choose the thingswe like, the directions we wantto take, how we want to live,and the sources we believe andwhere to receive information.This is the main reason we allhave different ideas about things.

From an old movie, “Sneak-ers,” “The world isn’t run byweapons anymore, or energy, ormoney. It’s run by little ones andzeros, little bits of data. It’s alljust electrons…. There’s a warout there… and it’s not aboutwho’s got the most bullets. It’sabout who controls the informa-tion. What we see and hear, howwe work, what we think, it’s allabout information.”

A truly independent thinkerwould have no outside influencein any way and the result of thatwould be nothing in their brain.I don’t think that is possible sothe fact that you are an indepen-dent thinker may not really meana whole lot. There is no suchthing. We are all influenced bymany things. A baby starts get-ting information while they arestill in the womb, before they areever born, by their senses as theyare developing. As soon as he/

she is born they learn quickly bywho touches them, talks to them,and loves them. Their growthdevelops from this interactionand from many other outsidesources. Let’s redefine an in-dependent thinker as one whoexamines as much informationas possible and then makes uptheir own mine as to what is rightand wrong.

You are influenced all thetime, every day, by everyoneand everything around you.What you watch, hear, and readmoves you in various directionsin your thinking. Often timesyou are influenced by people andthings that you never intendedto be influenced by. This issomething you need to watchcarefully.

Do you know what the jobof an advertiser and a commer-cial writer is? It is to disrupt ourlife and make you not satisfiedwith anything until you get or usetheir product. Their goal is tochange your thinking. You needto learn to be in control of whatyou see and hear and be able toblock the bad out. Don’t letinformation control you.

Have you seen the movie“God is Not Dead?” In it themain premise or story is a bouta college professor that teachesphilosophy. He has taken uponhimself the job of convincing stu-dents that there is no God. Onestudent rebels against that

thought because he is a Chris-tian. In turn he challenges theprofessor and has to try to con-vince not only the professor ofthe truth of God but also all ofthe class.

As we grow up and get olderwe soon learn that everyone,everywhere is trying to convinceus of many things; some good,some bad, and some in gray ar-eas. As you mature you musttake some control of how theseinfluences affect you and decidewhich path you are going to fol-low.

In my life because of variousinfluences, I became a Christian.As time went on I determined tobelieve and follow God in allthings. I continue purposefullyon that path. In some waysthe path is difficult to follow.There is always a bombardmentof the many things that the worldthrows at us. This stuff pullsus off that good path and downother paths that I perceive aswrong. It is very easy to strayoff into other things. Do you letoutside influences control you ordo you blow in the wind follow-ing every whim that comes by?Have you found a path thatseems to be true and straight?

John 8:31-32: Jesus said toHis followers: “If you continuein My word, then you are trulydisciples of Mine; and you willknow the truth and the truth willmake you free.”

AS GOD’S CHILDREN,WE ARE MORE THAN OURMISTAKES

One of my favorite people inthe Bible is David. This prob-ably isn’t unusual, as manypeople love the stories of Godusing David to slay the giantGoliath, and of David beinganointed king over his older, andseemingly more-qualified broth-ers. However, my reasons forenjoying the accounts of David’slife have little to do with whatGod accomplished through him,and much more to do with agreat truth illustrated by his ex-periences with God.

David’s story represents whatmay seem a contradiction, butis actually a great truth aboutGod’s basis for accepting us. In1 Samuel 13:14, while announc-ing to Samuel that he is about tobe replaced, God refers to Davidas “a man after his own heart”.However, when reading ofDavid’s sins of adultery, deceit,betrayal and murder in 2 Samuel

11, one might wonder how sucha person could be referred to asbeing after God’s own heart.The truth of this illustration isthat God does not judge us bythe mistakes we make, but bywhat is in our hearts. (1 Samuel16:7)

One glaring fact which can-not be avoided in this case isGod’s foreknowledge of ourlives. Simply put, God knowswhat we are going to do beforewe do it. (Isaiah 42:9, Daniel2:28, John 2:25) Also, weknow of other people in theBible who were believers, butsinned grievously against God.Jonah ran from God, not wish-ing the people of Nineveh to berescued from their sin. (Jonah4:1-3) Peter denied Christ, evenas Jesus said he would. (John13:38) And, of course, any fol-lower of Christ who reads thiscan bring to mind a time whenthey said, did, or thought some-thing which was completely aliento their Christianity. God knewit was going to happen, and stillloved/loves you.

Am I making excuses for, orrationalizing, sin? Absolutely not.I find myself in agreement with

what Paul wrote in Romans 6:1-2 – What shall we say, then?Shall we go on sinning so thatgrace may increase? By nomeans! We died to sin; howcan we live in it any longer?This follows Paul’s explanationof the benefits of God’s grace inthe previous chapter. So, whilewe are not to abuse God’s grace(his unmerited favor) by sinningwillfully and purposely, we areto appreciate it for what it doesin our lives. It makes us accept-able to him, able to be consid-ered his heirs, and co-heirs withJesus, DESPITE our sin. (Ro-mans 8:17)

The Christian is meant to livea life which models Jesus tothose around them. (1 Peter1:14-16) However, we are go-ing to make mistakes, as Paulillustrates in Romans 7:21-25.We can and should be thankfulthat God has provided a way forus to appear righteous beforehim, so that we don’t have tolive in guilt for the inevitable sinin our lives. Thank God that,despite our struggles, we can bemen, women, boys and girls af-ter God’s own heart!

$100M Station in CentralArkansas Proposed AlongPlanned Wind Highwayby Luke Jones  -Arkansas

Business  A $2 billion, 750-mile trans-

mission line project has been al-tered so that Arkansans will ben-efit from the wind energy high-way that will be built through thestate in coming years.

The project, called the Plains& Eastern Clean Line, won’tbreak ground until 2016, but thecompany behind it — CleanLine Energy Partners — an-nounced this month that it wouldbuild a $100 million convertorstation along the line’s route,somewhere in central Arkansas.

The station will allow localutilities to benefit from thepower traveling along the linesand potentially allow Clean Lineto become a utility in Arkansas.

Clean Line is a private trans-mission company in Houston. Itdevelops projects that connect

renewable generation points be-tween states.

The Plains & Eastern projectis one of five Clean Line trans-mission projects underway in thecountry, and the only one thatpasses through Arkansas. It hasbeen in the works for the pasthalf-decade and will build atransmission line intended toconnect the Midwest’s wind re-sources to Arkansas and otherstates in the South with less po-tential to generate wind. About3,500 megawatts of power inOklahoma would become avail-able to these states.

“In western Oklahoma, spe-cifically in the Oklahoma pan-handle, there’s a huge wind re-source,” said Michael Skelly,president of Clean Line. “Youcan generate wind power andelectricity at a very low cost. It’stypical to develop more projectsin western Oklahoma withoutexpanding the grid. At the sametime, you have customers in Ar-

kansas and the Southeast whoare buying wind energy todayand would like to buy more ofit.”

Those customers could in-clude Arkansas’ utility coopera-tives, for example. The hugelyexpensive job makes sense forClean Line, Skelly said, becausethe company gets paid for pro-viding transport to transmissionoperators and other energy com-panies throughout its network.The new line would mean manynew customers for the com-pany.

“What our project will do ishelp expand that market andconnect the resources with cus-tomers in those states,” Skellysaid.

But as initially planned, theproject would have had little ef-fect on Arkansans beyond cre-ating some jobs through the con-struction period. The line trav(Continued on page 3)

eled from Oklahoma eastthrough Arkansas, but CleanLine’s electricity wouldn’t havestopped in Arkansas along theway.

This was the basis of the Ar-kansas Public ServiceCommission’s 2011 denial ofClean Line’s attempt to be rec-ognized as a utility in the state.Becoming a utility would havemeant the company could haveused eminent domain in creatingthe route for its new lines.

However, that changed whenSkelly announced the convertorstation at this month’s Little RockSustainability Summit at theClinton Presidential Library. Thecompany has a similar convertorstation in the middle of the Okla-homa panhandle, where much ofits wind power is coming from,and where the company was ap-proved to be a utility.

“It looks like a substation, butit’s actually a fairly highly spe-cialized facility which takes ourelectricity, which is direct current,and converts it to alternating cur-rent,” Skelly said.

The result, then, is that theAC electricity can be transmit-ted to local energy companies,giving power companies moreopportunity to buy wind energythat can sometimes be cheaperthan other power sources.

“Arkansas is buying around250 megawatts of wind fromOklahoma and Kansas today,”Skelly said. “It will be able todouble that.”

For perspective, ArkansasElectric Cooperatives Corp. cur-rently receives about 51 mega-watts of power from a wind farmin Kansas and intends to increasethat to 201 megawatts by the endof this year. The company hasaccess to about 3,000 megawattsof power total from all genera-tion sources.

A single one-megawatt windturbine can power, on average,240 to 400 homes in the UnitedStates.

But still remaining is the ques-tion of whether the new stationwill mean the company will againattempt to become recognized asa utility, now that the project willaffect Arkansans more directly.The company recently appliedfor utility status in Tennessee,through which the Plains & East-ern line will travel.

A spokesman for the com-pany said the station “was a sig-nificant change in the scope ofthe project” that was “not initiallyintended” for it, noting that it wasexpressly requested by the PSCand by landowners.

However, the company re-mained silent on whether it willtry for utility status again. PSCrecords show no activity fromClean Line since it was denied in2011.

PermittingHowever, Skelly did say that

the company must complete itspermitting process before consid-ering approaching the PSCagain.

Like other projects that haveto be approved at multiple gov-ernmental levels, it takes yearsto complete.

“We’ve been doing this forabout five years,” Skelly said.

A lot of the job, he said, isgetting the word out about thejob to county officials, state agen-cies and environmental groups todetermine the route of the line.

“Because this is an interstateproject, it has to go through thefederal permitting process,”Skelly said. “We’re in the middleof that [process]. What it basi-

cally does is look at a series ofroutes, and we take all that in-formation which our differentstakeholders use to come up witha route.”

Currently, the U.S. Depart-ment of Energy is working withstates and local agencies to gatherinput on the line’s proposedroute.

The permitting process over-all, Skelly said, is expected toconclude in spring 2015.

“We hope to break ground ina year after that — at some pointin 2016,” he said. “This is likeany large infrastructure project.It takes a long time to workthrough the issues and come upwith a proper design and takeinto account the stakeholders’ in-terests. These things take a longtime. As things go, we’re mov-ing at a reasonable pace.”

When construction actuallystarts, the project is expected togenerate some local economicactivity in the state.

He said it would also indirectlycreate more work for wind in-dustry companies in Arkansas —LM Wind Power, for example,which has a turbine blade manu-facturing plant in Little Rock,could have more customers asmore wind farms are built fol-lowing the line’s completion.

“The wind energy associatedwith it … will facilitate the con-struction of another roughly $6billion to $7 billion of new windprojects that cannot be built to-day,” Skelly said.

It will also create some con-struction jobs. About a year ago,Clean Line surveyed some of theproposed line areas and identi-fied about 44 companies in thestate that could be suppliers forthe project. In particular, Gen-eral Cable will supply all of thecable for the line.

General Cable, a publiclytraded company based in High-land Heights, Ky., has a330,000-SF factory in Malvern,where the 20 million linear feetof cable will be manufactured.According to General Cable, thejob could be worth $100 million,depending on commodity prices.

“I think it’ll keep their fac-tory humming for a year and ahalf,” Skelly said.

“We are keen for this projectto create as many jobs as pos-sible in Arkansas,” he said.“We’re fortunate that there arecompanies like General Cablewho will make the wire right

there in Arkansas.”The job overall will be “pretty

labor intensive,” Skelly said.“We’ll have hundreds of jobsbuilding the line. In Arkansas,those are the direct impacts.”

Human activities are speeding the sinking of majorcoastal cities around the globe, contributing to morefrequent, severe, and protracted flooding. Landsubsidence can occur naturally, but human activities haveaccelerated the process in some parts of the globe, lead-ing the land there to descend 10 times faster than sealevels are rising. Tokyo, for example, sank two meters asa result of decadesof groundwater extraction. Venice suffered similar sub-sidence until groundwater extraction was halted there inrecent years. Unless action is taken, Jakarta, Ho ChiMinh City, and Bangkok, among other cities, will sinkbelow sea level.

Moist hay, hot temperaturesmix for combustion and destruc-tion By Sean Hubbard  STILLWATER, Okla.  –  It

might sound strange, but with noapparent ignition source, haybales can burst into flames andcause much damage to storagefacilities or cause a raging wild-fire. The  combination  of  low

wind speeds, high humidity,moist hay and hot temperaturesis a recipe for disaster. With thisset of circumstances, tightlystacked hay bales have beenknown to combust. Withoutproper preventative measures,hay barns or any other structuresclose to the bales, would be lost. Darren Redfearn, Oklahoma

State UniversityCooperativeExtension foragespecialist with the department ofplant and soil sciences, has someadvice for producers and buy-ers. “When you go in and imme-

diately harvest these forages,they have a high water content,”said Redfearn. “One of the thingsthat does continue is the processof respiration.” Respiration is a normal plant

process to produce food for it-self, which in turn also producesheat. This process will continueto generate heat until the mois-ture content of the hay dropsbelow 40 percent. At 20 percent moisture, the

hay is considered dry. However,mold will grow through respira-tion and produce heat until thatpoint. This heat, along with thehay itself, mixed with oxygencauses the combustion. Redfearn said the combus-

tion typically takes place alongthe surface of the bales becausethe oxygen has trouble penetrat-ing into the middle. Before thishappens, there are some preven-tative measures that should betaken. “Make hay while the sun is

shining,” Redfearn said referringto the old adage that has a lot oftruth to it. “We need to get thishay dried as quickly as possible.” The  summer  months  in

Oklahoma provide adequatedrying conditions with high tem-peratures, a slight breeze and lowhumidity. If there is any question as to

whether the hay was baled at thecorrect moisture, the tempera-ture of the bales should beclosely monitored. A bale thatmeasures less than 120 F is inno danger. Bales between 120 F and

140 F need some attention. Balesshould be removed from a barnor structure and separated sothey can cool off. Once a bale

reaches more than 140 F, it isgenerally too late, Redfearn said. “Once you start moving them

at that temperature, that’s whenyou really get into danger,” hesaid. “That’s when you are put-ting yourself in danger.” These types of issues will

generally occur within five toseven days of baling, so it is bestto leave bales in the field for sev-eral days before storing.

Farm Service Agency (FSA)Emergency Loans Available

April 9, 2014: Secretary ofAgriculture, Tom Vilsack, des-ignated several counties in Kan-sas as primary disaster areas dueto losses caused as a result ofdrought on January 1, 2013, andcontinuing. The disaster deter-mination allows eligible farmersin the disaster areas to apply foremergency loan assistance fromthe Farm Service Agency.Farm operators in contiguouscounties are also eligible to beconsidered for low-interestemergency loans from the FarmService Agency (FSA).Cimarron, Beaver and TexasCounties, in Oklahoma, havebeen declared contiguous disas-ter counties. Eligible produc-ers, in the designated counties,may apply for emergency loanassistance, according to JimMurray, Farm Loan Managerfor Cimarron, Beaver andTexas Counties.

Emergency loan funds maybe used to purchase seed, fer-tilizer, fuel, and repairs. “A

farmer can use the moneyfor the most essential operatingand living costs,” Jim Murraysaid. To be eligible for a loan,an applicant must have sufferedlosses as a direct result of thedisaster and be unable to getcredit from other sources.Loans covering actual losses areat an interest rate of 3.125 percent per annum. The amountof the loan is determined byactual certification of loss lessany compensation received, re-payment capacity of the bor-rower, and availability of secu-rity.

EM loan applications will bereceived through close of busi-ness (final application date).Farmers and ranchers, who be-lieve they can qualify, may con-tact the Cimarron County FSAOffice at 580-544-2401 for ad-ditional details.

Ag Census Shows OklahomaProducers Aging Slower thanNational Rate Oklahoma remains fourth in

the nation in number of farms,according to the 2012 Censusof Agriculture, released today bythe U.S. Department of Agricul-ture.  The  agriculture  censusoccurs every five years andtakes into account details spe-cific to the operations of farm-ers, ranchers and other ag pro-ducers across the United States. Farmer demographics is in-

cluded in the data compiled. The 2012 numbers reflect theaverage age of the Oklahomaproducer is equal to that of thenational average; 58.3 years old. However, the age of Oklahomaproducers has slowed since2007; perhaps indicating an in-

crease in young producers re-turning to the farm.  Like all producers, younger

farmers were not immune to theobvious increase in productionexpenses.  From 2007 to 2012there was an increase in themarket value of ag productssold.  There was  also  an  in-crease in production expenses. However the increase in pro-duction expenditures outpacedthe increase in total ag productssold by 5%.  In Oklahoma,  livestock,

poultry and their product val-ues outpaced the crop values bya rate of nearly 3:1. This is incontrast to the US trend wherecrop values dominated the mar-ket values for the first time since1974.  In Oklahoma of the $6.7billion total production ex-penses, $3.7 billion was live-stock or poultry purchases andfeed expenses.  Producers began receiving

census forms in December2012.  Following  a  two yearmission, the Census of Agricul-ture culminates in a full reportdetailing millions of pieces ofinformation outlining the struc-ture of Oklahoma’s agriculture. Like the products reported onin the ag census, the data wouldnot be possible without the sup-port and participation of farm-ers and ranchers.  ”I  would  like  to  thank

Oklahoma’s farmers and ranch-ers for responding to the AgCensus,” said Oklahoma StateStatistician Wilbert Hundl. “It’sa privilege to work with ODAFFas they continue to cooperatewith USDA NASS to providedetailed facts about Oklahoma’sagriculture.” 

FSA Livestock DisasterAssistance Programs for2012, 2013, & 2014

On April 15th, livestockproducers started sign up fordisaster assistance programs atthe Cimarron County FarmService Agency (FSA) office.The Livestock ForageDisaster Program (LFP) willprovide payments to eligibleproducers for livestock deathsand grazing losses that haveoccurred since the expirationof the program in 2011, andincluding calendar years 2012,2013, and 2014.

LFP providescompensation to eligiblelivestock producers that havesuffered grazing losses due todrought or fire on land theyhave leased for grazing. Aneligible livestock producermust own, cash lease, or be acontract grower of eligiblelivestock during the 60calendar days before thebeginning date of thequalifying drought or fire in acounty that is rated by theU.S. Drought Monitor as D2,D3, or D4.

LIP provides compensationto eligible livestock producersthat have suffered livestockdeath losses in excess ofnormal mortality due toadverse weather. Eligible

livestock includes beef cattle,dairy cattle, bison, poultry,sheep, swine, horses, and otherlivestock as determined by theSecretary of Agriculture.

Regulations for the programrequire that producers will needto submit a written lease for theacres that they have or hadcontrol of for grazing losses forthe 2012, 2013, & 2014 cropyear.

If you have any questionsconcerning this program orwould like to make anappointment, please call theFSA Office at 580-244-2401.

Equine Herpes Virus Update OKLAHOMA CITY, OK-   

The State of Oklahoma is hometo countless horse owners andmany large equine events. Dueto the potentially serious conse-quences, news of an Equine Her-pes Virus incident has causedquestions and concerns through-out the horse industry. Horse owners, event manag-

ers, and veterinarians should beaware of two recent cases ofEquine Herpes Virus (EHV-1) thatoccurred in Wisconsin and Kan-sas after the horses attended abarrel racing event in Lincoln, NE.Unfortunately, the condition of thetwo horses deteriorated and theywere euthanized. Almost twoweeks have passed since the twohorses became ill. No other af-fected horses have been reported,and the remaining horses on theaffected farms are restricted fromattending events. Hopefully, wehave seen the worst of this par-ticular incident. There are no re-lated cases of EHV-1 in Okla-homa. The Oklahoma Department

of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry(ODAFF) recommends horseowners and event managers re-main at a heightened level ofawareness, implement biosecuritypractices to minimize potentialexposure, consult with a veteri-narian on an appropriate vacci-nation schedule, and report anysuspicious illness or neurologicdisease. There have been no changes

in import regulations and no rec-ommended event cancellationsissued by the ODAFF. Symptomsof EHV-1 infection are fever, na-sal discharge, incoordination, hindlimb weakness, urine dribbling,and a flaccid tail.

Oklahoma Fares Poorly onHealth Assessment OKLAHOMA CITY  – A

health care scorecard releasedWednesday that evaluated all 50states and the District of Colum-bia ranked Oklahoma 49th over-all. Only Arkansas (50th) and Mis-sissippi (51st) fared worse.

The Scorecard on State HealthSystem Performance was issued

by The Commonwealth Fundand evaluated the states on 42measures of health care access,quality, costs and outcomes overthe 2007-12 period. Those fiveyears encompassed the GreatRecession and preceded themajor coverage expansions ofthe Affordable Care Act.

Oklahoma worsened on eightindicators but improved on adozen others. South Carolinawas better on 13 indicators andworse on 13 others. Alabamaimproved on seven indicatorsbut worsened on 16.

Oklahoma ranked among thetop five states on none of theindicators, and among the worststates in 25 indicators.

The analysis reported that: 21% of American adults aged 19-64 had no health insurance in2011-12. In Oklahoma that ra-tio was 25%. (The U.S. Depart-ment of Health and Human Ser-vices reported Thursday thatmore than 69,000 Oklahomanssigned up for health insuranceplans under the Affordable CareAct between Oct. 1 and theMarch 31 deadline. Approxi-mately 29% of the enrolleeswere aged 18-34 and approxi-mately 56% are women, recordsreflect.)

* Among U.S. children (new-borns through age 18) who wereuninsured, the national rate was10%; in Oklahoma it was 8%.

* In 2012, research found,17% of U.S. adults went with-out any health care because theycouldn’t afford it. The compa-rable figure in Oklahoma was18%.

* Nationally, the 50-statemedian number of at-risk adultsin 2012 who had not had a rou-tine visit to any doctor in the pre-ceding two years was 14%.Among Oklahomans it was 20%— one of every five – rankingus 46th in the country.

* Nationwide, the number ofadults in 2012 who had not beento a dentist was 15%. In Okla-homa, it was 18%.

* The number of U.S. chil-dren in 2011-12 who had amedical and dental preventivecare visit within the past year was68%. In Oklahoma, it was 62%.      * The number  of U.S.

children aged 19 to 35 monthswho had all of their recom-mended vaccinations in 2012was 68%. In Oklahoma thenumber was 61%, ranking theSooner State 48th in the nation.

* Nationally, the infant mor-tality rate in 2009 was 6.4 deathsper 1,000 live births. The Okla-homa rate was 7.9/1,000, rank-ing the Sooner State 44th in thecountry.
