Sanders Funeral Home United Supermarket mote a radical agenda without a solution.” “What we’re seeing right now is a debate about what some people think should be in the Constitution…” Michael Hammond, legis- lative counsel for Gun Owners of America, commented that Obama has made it clear, “the Constitution is not an impedi- ment to his agenda.” Former Kingfisher Police Chief Tom Jones said he didn’t think the anti-gun efforts would succeed. “For one thing, sheriffs across the nation aren’t going along with it. Some big city police chiefs might endorse it but they rep- resent only a small part of the country. “People in rural areas like ours aren’t going to give up their guns. “Farmers going to feed their livestock carry guns in their trucks to control predators. Hunters will have guns.” He also pointed out that the laws proposed regarding lim- iting the number of shells a clip would hold, would outlaw most guns used by police offic- ers. “People in Washington don’t understand that our cul- tures are so different. “We don’t want their six houses and cocktail parties and they don’t want the things we cherish, like a day afield hunt- ing or riding horses. Watson said of Obama’s executive orders, “he has a real problem on constitutionalism and public opinion.” Hammond said legislative proposals are anchored by a gun ban. “It would ban about 50 per- cent of all long guns and 80 percent of all handguns. “He starts out with a gun ban that is so sweeping, so over- whelming and so unconstitu- tional that it is going to taint all other proposals. Both Hammond and Watson believe Obama will be unsuccessful in his efforts. Because of public opinion that isn’t on his side, Obama will find it difficult to have his ideas resonate with the Ameri- can people, Watson said. Be- cause of this Congress will not be supportive. The two national gun lead- ers also agreed that the new gun control push is part of a larger agenda. Hammond contended that executive orders “would not have done anything about Newtown, Clackamas or Au- rora. Obama thinks the Second Amendment is a prominent part of the Republicans’ ground game, Hammond said. They both believe the ulti- mate goal is not the criminal with a gun, but Watson said, “the regulation of lawful own- ership is where he is going to take his fight.” Hammond added that this may be a part of a larger game by leftist interests to help re- vive the anti-gun lobby that has faltered since the 1990s. He related that “every time we go on a major TV program we get people calling us with death threats and threats to our children and that we should and will burn in hell for eternity.” “That is an effort to create a lobby,” he said. “My own sense is that if it doesn’t get any more serious, (meaning if Obama can be stopped) it is probably not going to have much of an im- pact. If we end this process and Obama gets not one word of gun control, that will be de- moralizing to this liberal move- ment he is trying to create.” Hammond pledged his organization’s opposition to Obama. “We will fight to ensure that not one single word of gun con- trol gets passed into law,” he said. The National Rifle Associa- tion also said it was planning the “fight of the century” against Obama. And a sheriff in Oregon told Biden in a letter he won’t en- force any federal regulation “offending the constitutional rights of my citizens.” Nor will he allow federal agents to do the enforcement, said Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller. Various states also are ad- dressing their residents con- cerns. In Missouri, there’s a proposal to make it a felony for any federal agent to enforce such restrictions against a per- sonal weapon. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said that in the United States,” we Mastalka [Continued From Page 1A] do not have a king but we do have a Constitution.” “We also have a Second Amendment,” he said. “I will fight tooth and nail to protect it.” Even some in Obama’s adopted hometown, Chicago, say gun restrictions historically haven’t helped prevent attacks. Steve Stanek, research fel- low for the Heartland Institute, said there “was less violent crime in this country in the 1950s, before background checks, waiting periods or age limits to buy firearms, and be- fore licensing of gun dealers and the existence of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.” “So if easy access to guns is a major cause of violence, why was there less violence in those days?” David L. Applegate, a policy adviser on legal affairs for the organization said, “Everyone agrees that shooting schoolchil- dren is a very bad thing and therefore agrees with the presi- dent that something should be done to reduce the likelihood of further Newtowns.” But he said: “A serious pub- lic policy debate, however, would take place over time and consider such issues as (1) whether protection of school- children is best handled at the state, local, or national level; (2) whether the answers to school violence in general lie in treat- ing causes or symptoms; (3) what the causes of such vio- lence are; (4) whether different solutions would better fit dif- ferent locations than a one-size- fits-all national policy; (5) whether enough is being done to enforce existing laws against murdering people and unlaw- fully using weapons; and (6) what the experience of the 1994- 2004 ‘assault weapons ban’ has been. The governmental body that is best suited to do that is the legislature, not an ad hoc month-long commission headed up by Vice President Joe Biden.” Research Fellow Benjamin Domenech said President Obama’s “attempt to disarm the law-abiding comes wrapped in the tragedy of Sandy Hook, but not one point out of his 23-point plan would’ve prevented it.” “This is rank political pos- turing, not serious policy based on the real data about mass murder.” inch.

The project will be bid as both a concrete and asphalt project. The first five-mile section was awarded as a concrete project. Concrete was less ex- pensive than asphalt at the time the first segment of the road was contracted. Projects [Continued From Page 1A] Rain [Continued From Page 1A] The award is presented to Americans who dedicate at least two years or 4,000 hours over the course of their lives to serve others at home or abroad. Debbie Chaloupek, current civil engineering technician for the Corps of Civil Engineers, said the couple’s total hours well exceeded that minimum. “Their hours totaled 6,018 for the year 2000 and then the years 2002-11,” she said. “Then begin- ning in 2012, they served as park coordinators and supervised about 14 other volunteers.” “I’ve fished Canton Lake for 45 years and when I heard from a Watonga friend that the Corps was looking for volunteers to work out there, we jumped at the chance,” Mastalka said. Mastalka, who retired as Guns [Continued From Page 1A] emergency management direc- tor in 2000, had just returned from a months-long tour of the country with his wife in a rec- reational vehicle when he learned about the opportunity to volunteer. Along with a group of other volunteers Mastalka coordi- nated, Danny and Phyllis made Canton Lake their home for half of every year, camping there from April to October. The couple helped plant trees, maintain flowerbeds, clear brush, paint or whatever was required. “Someone from the Corps would tell us what needed to be done and that’s what we would do,” he said. “We en- joyed it.” But Mastalka freely admits it wasn’t all work. “That was the beauty of it, you could choose when you wanted to work and if it was a perfect day to go fishing, you could do that instead,” he said. The Mastalkas second ca- reer ended in May of 2011 when a tornado took out the Cana- dian Campground where they lived and worked. Mastalka, who said weather monitoring was the most inter- esting aspect of his career in emergency management, actu- ally filmed the tornado mov- ing into the campground. “The good part was that ev- eryone was able to take shelter and we didn’t have a single in- jury,” he said. “But it wiped out the campground and that left us with nothing to take care of.” Now Mastalka is concerned about another action that may destroy the entire lake for years – Oklahoma City’s proposal to exercise its water rights and draw down Canton Lake to refill Lake Hefner. “I really hate to see it,” he said. “With the lake already nine feet down because of the drought, I really don’t want to see them take any more water out of the lake. “It’s going to ruin the fish- ing there if they take it down to where they want to. It would be a heck of a kill off. “I’m not for it, but us fisher- men, we don’t have much con- trol over it.” Oklahoma City will lose an estimated one-third of the wa- ter as it moves down the North Canadian River to the Okla- homa City reservoir. That water will be enough to last Oklahoma City four months, Stahl said. Canton Lake is capable of holding 111,310 acre-feet of water but now holds an esti- mated 51,362 acre feet of water, or about one-half its capacity. Jeff Converse of Woodward, president of the Canton Lake Association, observes: “Canton Lake will essen- tially be destroyed for four months of water for Oklahoma City and its recovery will take up to 10 years. “Is it really worth destroy- ing the lake for a decade for just four months of water?” he asks. Stahl also believes Oklahoma City’s reservoirs hold more water than officials realize. “Lake Hefner is built like a bowl and Canton like a plate,” he said. Hefner can look low and still have a substantial reserve of water, he indicates. The long-range forecast for cen- tral Oklahoma gives little reassur- ance for relief from the drought. Daryl Williams, forecaster for the National Weather Service, said: “There’s nothing pointing to anything driving a wet pe- riod during the rest of the win- ter to early spring.” He also pointed out that just as the drought situation devel- oped over a several months period, it will take several months of above-average pre- cipitation to get out of the drought. cal malpractice and product li- ability defense.

Canton [Continued From Page 1A] Ogletree [Continued From Page 1A] A felony charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon was filed last week in Kingfisher County District Court against a Kingfisher man charged with intentionally ramming a vehicle and leaving the scene of the accident. Lenard Charles “Charlie” Briscoe Jr., 54, also faces misde- meanor charges related to the same incident, including driv- ing a motor vehicle while un- der the influence of alcohol, leaving the scene of an acci- dent involving property dam- age and obstructing an officer. Briscoe also faces a separate felony charge for allegedly pointing a shotgun at Oswaldo Iniguez of Kingfisher and three misdemeanor charges of ha- rassing and threatening elec- tronic communication involv- ing Iniguez and two other al- leged victims. Briscoe is scheduled to make his initial court appearance on all charges at 2 p.m. Wednesday. Briscoe was arrested Jan. 21 after allegedly ramming Iniguez’s vehicle with his pickup truck and then leading law enforcement officers on a pursuit through town. Briscoe allegedly got into an altercation with Oswaldo Iniguez, an employee at the LTB Resources Inc. yard five miles south of Kingfisher, King- fisher County Sheriff Dennis Banther said. When Iniguez got into his vehicle and headed toward Kingfisher, Briscoe followed in his truck and then allegedly ran into the back of Iniguez’ vehicle on U.S. 81 about 2.3 miles north of the Chesapeake Energy office, Banther said. Iniguez was not reported injured, Banther said. Law enforcement pursued Briscoe to an alley behind his father’s residence on South Main Street, where he was arrested after a struggle, according to a sheriff’s department report. Briscoe also is separately charged with allegedly point- ing a shotgun at Iniguez Dec. 30 and threatening to shoot him after allegedly making a series of threatening phone calls and text messages to Iniguez. He also is charged with al- legedly threatening to shoot Nathan Kirtley and threaten- ing to “knock out” Amber Mueggenborg, both of King- fisher, in telephone calls to them. Briscoe was released on a $50,000 bond on the charges related to the Jan. 21 traffic ac- cident. Bond has yet to be set on the other charges.

A felony charge of assaultand battery with a dangerousweapon was filed last week inKingfisher County DistrictCourt against a Kingfisher mancharged with intentionallyramming a vehicle and leavingthe scene of the accident.
Lenard Charles “Charlie”Briscoe Jr., 54, also faces misde-meanor charges related to thesame incident, including driv-ing a motor vehicle while un-der the influence of alcohol,leaving the scene of an acci-dent involving property dam-age and obstructing an officer.

Gun owners boycotthuge outdoors show
The good guys have won abig one.
The annual Eastern Sportsand Outdoor Show normallyattracts 200,000 visitors. Itearns money from 1,000 ex-hibitors.
Last week the British firmthat owns it decided to ban allvisible references to assaultweapons, so called. No sales,no advertising, nothing.
A boycott began. The NRAcanceled. Then hundreds ofexhibitors canceled. Therewere lots of stories about theboycott.
The politically correct Britswho thought they would jumpon the gun control bandwagonhave announced that therewould be no show .
Kingfisher County com-missioners approved a newpolicy for individuals seek-ing burial or cremation forindigents at their meetingMonday.
The new policy calls foran affidavit of financial in-ability to pay.
It also requires reasonswhy family or friends can-not pay the costs, plus finan-cial statements from such in-dividuals, a list of family as-sets, including cash, check-ing accounts, jewelry, auto-mobiles and other propertyand a signed affidavit underpenalty of perjury that infor-mation submitted is correct.
Commissioners also ap-proved a bid from S&J Heat-ing and Air in Kingfisher of$18,588 to replace the westheating and air conditioningunit in the west end of theExhibit Building at thecounty fairgrounds.
Fair Board ChairmanMark Walta and County Ex-tension Director KeithBoevers recommended ac-cepting the single bid fromS&J.
Commissioners did notconsider a second bid, by fax,that was received in the of-fice of County Clerk TeresaWood after the bid deadline.
Boevers said the S&J bidwas under the estimated cost
for replacing the unit.Commissioners voted to
retract an action naming Sh-annon Moery as assistant di-rector of the county’s 911emergency calling system.
The position was not ad-vertised but has now beenposted, it was announced.
The board named RoadForeman Fred Bredel firstdeputy in District 3.
Commission ChairmanKeith Schroder said the lawrequires a first deputy to actin the place of the electedofficial in case the elected of-ficer becomes incapacitatedor leaves office.
Commissioners approveda fresh water line crossingfor Brickman Fastline, Inc. inDistrict 2. The line will crossNorth County Road 2870 be-ginning at a point in theNortheast Quarter of theNortheast Quarter of Section25, Township 19 North,Range 7 West and ending incenter of the North Half ofSection 33-T19N-R6W.

agreed to place the scrapmetal bid on its six-monthbid list in the next six-monthcycle.
