‘High School Musical’PHS students bring popular Disney show to stage
Disney’s smash hit which later turned into a franchise, “High School Musical,” will be playing out onstage beginning tonight at the Bob Lee Kidd Civic Center.
The one-act version of the musi-cal is sure to be a hit with children of all ages — especially those who remember the film.
At East High, Troy, Gabriella, and their friends have to juggle their busy schedules, friends and family in this coming of age musi-cal. Students at East High find themselves divided into groups: The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Skater Dudes. However, lines will blur when jock Troy falls for brainy Gabriella and both navigate the world of theatre for the first time. Perhaps their foray into the arts is just what the school needs
to create opportunities for others to challenge the status quo.
At the helm of PHS’ production is choir director Alisha Smedley. Smedley has been directing the musicals at PHS since she began teaching here and has produced a number of popular musicals including “Bye, Bye Birdie,” “Grease,” “Cinderella” and last year’s “Annie.” Smedley is excited to give her students an opportunity to produce this show.

Learning becomes a game sometimesCASC computer science students build their own
Students with a keen sense of curi-osity and who enjoy taking things apart to see how they work need to check out Tommy Smith’s classes at Carl Albert State College.
According to Smith, earning a degree in the field of computer sci-ence from Carl Albert can be fun and lead into good career opportunities. Smith has taught at Carl Albert for 17 years and currently teaches Program-ming I and II, Animation, Photoshop and Internet programming among other things. He said his classes involve lots of problem solving and hands-on classroom work.
Regarding job potential, Smith
said, “With an associate’s degree, jobs in this region might include web administration or network adminis-tration at perhaps a school or small company. In larger areas, even like Fort Smith [Ark.], additional career opportunities exist in industry, etc. Students with associate’s degrees can step into jobs, and if they decide to continue their education to earn a bachelor’s degree then obviously more opportunities become available to become the boss.”
Students in the computer science department are working on a variety of projects.
They are building a drone that will
be ready soon. They have built an arcade game that is in working order.
“The entire arcade game runs off a small computer board called a rasp-berry pie. The students are also build-ing a skee ball game that will include three or four additional games. This is being programmed from scratch by the students with Sketchup software,” Smith said.

“I love this show, because I’m bringing one of my favorite childhood Disney movies to life,” said Rolens. Rolens is a
junior at PHS and involved in Thespian Troupe 3283, NHS, Silver Steppers Dance Team and choir.
Senior Dubois agreed. “This is my senior year and I’ve loved this movie since I was, like, five.” Dubois, who won an
award for her role as Grace in “Annie,” is involved in choir and Thespian Troupe 3283.
Thomas added that the charac-
ter development has been vital to him. “I’ve enjoyed most [my char-acter] going from Sharpay’s lap dog to finally standing up to her.”
found two plastic bags on the bedroom floor, one weighing 23.8 grams and the other 3.3 grams, both testing positive for meth-amphetamine. Officers said they also found digital scales, a crystal-like shard and a homemade metal
smoking pipe. On top of the dresser, officers alleg-edly found crystal-like sub-stance.
Court records said the officers also found a ceram-ic crushing device with residue, a crystal-like shard behind the dresser weigh-
ing about 0.2 grams and marijuana growing in a cabinet in the center bed-room. The setup allegedly had two lights and 31 mari-juana plants.
Officers also alleged they found a marijuana grinder, two smoking pipes
and two pills in the living room, along with a mari-juana bong, hemostat clamped onto a marijuana roach and a fake book on the bookshelf with numer-ous plastic bags and crystal residue in another bed-room.

Local Read Across America poster contest winner named at PKMSBy Angel BarbeePansy Kidd Middle School
The winner of the Read Across America 2016 Poster Contest on the local level is sixth-grader Michael Hamilton of Pansy Kidd Middle School.
The inspiration behind Hamilton’s drawing came from his love of science and astronomy.
“I attended a science camp and we studied about outer space. When I thought about the theme of the contest, ‘Oh the Places You’ll Go,’ I kept thinking about being an astronaut one day and reading all over the galaxy,” he said.
Hamilton received a $25 gift card presented on behalf of the PKMS Library.
His drawing will be featured on a T-shirt the PKMS Reading Club will be selling during January. Proceeds from the shirt will be used to buy books to be donated to the Women’s Crisis Center and Grace Cottage by the members of the Reading Club.
Hamilton will advance to the state level where he will compete with other artists around the state of Oklahoma for their drawing to appear on the official state poster promoting Read Across America Week 2016.

Oklahoma Forestry Ser-vices invites third- through fifth-grade classes to partici-pate in its annual Arbor Week poster contest, giving stu-dents the opportunity to uti-lize their creativity while learning about the impor-tance of trees.
Working with the theme “Trees are Terrific … Inside and Out,” students have until Dec. 11 to submit their post-ers.
“Not only is this a fun way to get students interest-ed in trees, but the Arbor
Day Foundation is providing high quality teaching resources for our state edu-cators,” said State Forester George Geissler. “I would encourage teachers to take advantage of this great opportunity to engage their students with nature.”
The National Arbor Day Foundation provides a cur-riculum for educators, based on the contest theme. Educa-tors utilize the curriculum to teach students about the important parts of the tree and how they function to
help the tree live and grow. Students then create their posters based on what they have learned about trees.
The finalists for each grade will receive a pizza party for their class. The first-, second- and third-place overall winners of the com-petition will receive a num-ber of prizes including cash prizesFor more information, contact Jerí Irby at [email protected] or (405) 522-6158 or visit http://www.forestry.ok.gov/2016-arbor-week-poster-contest.

Society's loss of respectIs this what Fallin wanted?
Editorial Round-up
Editorial excerpt from The Journal RecordOct. 26, 2015
It's like watching a bad remake of a 1989 Disney film called "Honey, I Shrunk the Government." But this one isn't the "ridiculous, cute and fun family entertainment" one reviewer labeled the movie that starred Rick Moranis.
In this all-too-serious version, Gov. Mary Fallin tells state agencies to submit plans that reduce their expenses by another 10 percent. That's necessary because, for the first time in five years, the state's 12-month revenue is less than it was for the previous 12 months. September collec-tions were down 4.6 percent from the previous year. That's a difference of more than $50 million for the month.
"This is the fifth consecutive time the monthly com-parison has been negative," an Oct. 7 press release from state Treasurer Ken Miller's office said. "The last time 12-month receipts showed contraction was in October 2010 as the state was still shaking off the remnants of the Great Recession."
It's no secret that low oil and natural gas prices are discouraging production, and less production means less revenue from gross production taxes. Those were down more than 52 percent this September compared to the same period last year, off by more than $42 million for the month. Gross production tax revenue was down $4.14 million — more than 10 percent — from August's report. Sales tax collections were down too, but every other taxa-tion category showed an increase.
Budget cuts are service cuts; it's state government doing less for its residents. The people who educate your children will have less to work with. So will the people who keep your drinking water safe, contagious diseases under control, help the poor find food and shelter, and help children find a safe home.
You'll see plenty of candidates boasting they'll cut taxes, but you'll never see a campaign slogan that says, "I'll cut services!" What's the difference?
Despite the ill-conceived personal income tax cut that will further shrink Oklahoma's revenue, the real lesson is that the state still relies much too heavily on a single industry. The extraordinarily low gross production tax rate in Oklahoma doesn't matter when no one's producing; the folly is in eliminating incentives for the development of other industries that could diversify Oklahoma's reve-nue and prevent fiscal mayhem every time oil takes a plunge. Investment in wind energy looks pretty good right now, but the incentives to develop it have blown away.
Is this the economy Fallin envisioned when she cam-paigned on her intention to "right-size" government? Probably not.
Military family appreciation month Oklahoma is a special
place because so many of our sons and daugh-ters answer the call to serve our country and our state. They are will-ing to be part of some-thing greater than them-selves.
And when an Oklahoman makes that commitment, it is not just that soldier, airman, sailor or marine who is answering the call to serve — it is their entire family.
November is Military Family Appreciation Month. It is a time when we appreciate those who are standing beside the service member, support-ing them and holding down everything back home while they are away on a mission or training.
Military families need our support, our under-
standing and our prayers. The days and months without their loved ones can be long and stress-ful. The frequent moves, adjustments and other uncertainties are chal-lenging.
One former Army wife I know remembers how meaningful it was when her husband was away on active duty and a group of neighbors came over unannounced one day and quickly mowed and edged her lawn. That simple gift of a few min-utes of the group’s time relieved a chore that would have taken her several hours to com-plete on her own.
I want to challenge everyone to look out for our military families — not just this month, but year-round.
Maybe it is attending the soccer game of a
child whose parent is away on active duty, just to add a little boost to their cheering section. Is there a military spouse in your church community who could use help win-terizing the house? Or perhaps you have a neighbor whose child is away on duty and you drop them a note appre-ciating their commitment as a military parent.
We do not have to look very far to find military families in our midst.
If my office can be of assistance to any mili-tary family, please do not hesitate to contact us in Muskogee at (918) 687-
2533 or McAlester at (918) 423-5951. Our Washington office can be reached at (202) 225-2701.
It will be our privilege to help our district’s mil-itary families however we can
Markwayne Mullin of Westville represents Oklahoma’s 2nd District in the United States House of Representatives. Call his Washington, D.C., office at (202) 225-2701 or e-mail him at m a r k w a y n e . m u l l i n @mail.house.gov. His web-site is mullin.house.gov.
Not long ago, I had a lengthy conversation with a state trooper. He was eating lunch with my wife and I and he had some interesting things to say.
In spite of my clever efforts to reveal his name he chose not to divulge it, nor did he want to go on the record or be quot-ed — he jokingly reiter-ated that several times.
For some time, I’ve been longing to write about the lack of respect plaguing our nation and the good trooper was an inspirational spring-board.
The 34-year-old troop-er, an 11-year veteran, said he’s seen a shift in our culture during his career. He said respect in society has dwindled dramatically.
At a death scene the trooper said traffic was blocked and body bags were used to cover the dead lying on the road. Much to his astonish-ment people were get-ting out of their cars, glancing down at the body bags with little regard or emotion, to say: “I’m in a hurry and I got things to do.”
A lack of respect not only rears its ugly head towards policeman, fire-men, the troops, clergy, the Constitution or con-servatism — it’s spread-ing like a disease throughout the land.
Everything that’s hon-est and decent seems to be ridiculed. Having a high moral standard seems ludicrous in the eyes of many. The Constitution is some old
dusty parchment and a socialistic society where anything goes seems to be the allure anymore.
How do we stem the tide, you may ask?
Many see government as their savior, their sup-ply, their all in all, their freedom from the drudg-ery of life’s mundane responsibilities. The answer doesn’t lie in Washington D.C. The cure manifests itself in s e l f - d e t e r m i n a t i o n , moral rendering, the sense of freedom, self liberty, that no politician or government can bestow.
Moral fiber, integrity, honesty and steadfast-ness seems to be outdat-ed tendencies nowadays for the Obama adminis-tration fabricated a story instead of telling the truth about four American citizens who were mur-dered in a coordinated attack on our embassy in Benghazi, Libya.
The reason the admin-istration found it neces-sary to lie to the American people was no doubt because at the time of the attack the national presidential election was less than two months away and they didn’t want to risk losing the election.
What good does it do to gain the world, yet lose a soul?
I’m not immune from the barbs of disintegrat-ing respect when it comes to this column either. Twice a month, when the column runs in newspapers and maga-zines around the nation, I receive my share of
hate mail from individu-als.
What’s astounding to me is someone who’s never met me could be so visceral in the hate they parade across the page. It doesn’t matter that they’ve never met me. Their opposing views are a chip on their shoulder that promotes a lack of respect to be hoisted up the flagpole as a standard to wave.
The Koch brothers, conservative billionaires, who see a disintegration of America, have used their money to try and change the landscape of despair. When it was rumored they were try-ing to buy six of the largest newspapers in America, including the L.A. Times and Chicago Tribune, there were union protests and dem-onstrations at the very possibility of that trans-action. Many of the newspapers employees stated they’ll quit if the Koch brothers bought their paper.
Why is there so much discourse in America?
Why is there such intolerance for conserva-tive values?
Why is there rabid disrespect dwelling in the land?
It’s being taught through the White House, the classroom, on the college campus, in the workplace and through
the media ports we view.
To say one can never change society is a mis-conception. To throw your hands in the air and retreat is a symptom of the growing problem.
Parents, teach your children that moral fiber, decency, honesty and respectability are noble traits that need not be shied away from — take a hands-on approach in your rearing tendencies — be astute about what teachers are filling their minds with.
Are they being taught time-tested distinctions, or indoctrinated with a foreign ideology you’re unaware of?
Being influential to those around you isn’t a non-contact sport, it’s an in the trenches affair.

Mullin’ It OverMarkwayne Mullin
By David SeeleyPDN Sports Editor
The Talihina Golden Tigers, ranked 11th in Class A, and the Sallisaw-Central Tigers will have a regular-sea-son ending showdown for the District A-8 champion-ship at 7 p.m. Friday in Sequoyah County.
“That’s our goal every year,” Talihina coach Kelly Gravitt said. “We expect to win. If we can beat the Cen-tral Tigers and win the district championship, then that’s another goal we can check off. The kids are looking for-ward to it, and they’re looking forward to playoff foot-ball.”
The loser will be the district runner-up, but both teams will have a home playoff game Nov. 13. However, the district champion could have as many as three home playoff games — with two playoff wins.
“The last couple of years, this has been our big rivalry game,” Gravitt said. “It’s also normally one of our best games. It’s for the district championship. The winner will be the district champion, and will get three home playoff games — if we get that far.”
The Golden Tigers (7-1 overall, 5-0 in district play) have won six straight since losing a 34-20 road game to Antlers in Week 2.
The Tigers (7-2, 5-0) have won two in a row and six of their last season since losing their heartbreaking 49-48 overtime home opener to Panama in Week 2.
“Their skill kids are better than ours, so we’re going to have to play good defense,” Gravitt said. “We’re go-ing to have to be ready to make plays on the back end [defensive secondary]. We’re going to have to be ready in a big time game. If we can three-and-out them like we’ve been doing, then we’ll be fine.”

Pirate Profile
SUCCESSFUL SENIOR NIGHT — Senior Night last Thursday was a successful one for all the Poteau football seniors, including lineman Colton Garrett, left, and wide receiver/strong safety Tyler Wolf, as the Pirates beat Fort Gibson. However, both said there’s more work to do this season for the Pirates.

Poteau seniors glad Senior Night was successful, but more work lies ahead
By David SeeleyPDN Sports Editor
The Poteau Pirates celebrated Senior Night last Thursday night by handling the Fort Gibson Tigers 46-20 at Costner Stadium. The victory was sweet for the senior players.
“They beat us last year by a lot on their Senior Night,” senior lineman Col-ton Garrett said. “So, this year on our Senior Night, I guess you can say we got revenge. They did give us trouble in the end, but we came back in the second half. We did what the Poteau Pirates do.”
The win clinched the District 4A-4 title for the Pirates, but there’s still more tasks at hand.
“We’re looking for that one more win so we can get that undefeated [regular] season and be among those elite teams,” senior wide receiver/strong safety Tyler Wolf said.
Should the Pirates win Friday night’s regular-season finale on the road against Tulsa Central, they would be just four
wins away from the Class 4A state title — something the Pirates played for two seasons ago.
“That would be pretty sweet to get to go to state [finals] again,” Wolf said.
However, the Pirates are taking things one game at a time.
“It’s one week at a time,” Garrett said. “That’s what [first-year] coach [Forrest Mazey] tells us. We’re just looking for another 1-0 week.”
Both seniors said that philosophy makes things easier on them.
“For me, it seems easier, and I guess it does for the other players on the team, too,” Garrett said. “We aren’t looking too far ahead, like we did at times last year. We were looking ahead as to just looking forward only to that Friday night. It’s just one day at a time.”
“It helps focus on the task at hand,” Wolf said. “That’s the game we have this week. We only have one game this week, so it’s the most important game of the week. It’s the only game we have this week.”
NEW YORK (AP) — Clemson, Louisiana State, Ohio State and Alabama are the top four teams in the first Col-lege Football Playoff selection committee rankings of the season.
Notre Dame was fifth and Baylor was sixth on Tuesday
night.Clemson, LSU and Ohio State are among 11 unbeaten
teams in FBS, nearly quadruple the number there was last season when the committee started ranking teams. Ala-bama and Notre Dame each have one loss.
Memphis was the highest ranked team from a Group of Five conference at No. 13.
Last year the top four teams in the first playoff rank-ings were Mississippi State, Florida State, Auburn and Mississippi. Only the Seminoles reached the playoff. Ohio State, the eventual national champion, was 16th in the first rankings.

Expectations low for Arkansas men after 27-win seasonFAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP)
— After its first NCAA Tourna-ment appearance since 2008, Ar-kansas enters this season facing a rebuilding effort following the de-partures of leading scorers Bobby Portis and Michael Qualls.
Just don't tell that to Razor-backs coach Mike Anderson.
"We're not going backward," Anderson said.
Anderson's confidence aside, expectations for Arkansas this season are as low as at any point during the coach's five seasons. The line-up will be missing six of the school's top seven scorers from a season ago.
The most significant loss from last season's 27-9 team that fin-ished second in the Southeastern Conference is Portis, the league's
player of the year now with the Chicago Bulls.
Portis averaged 17.5 points and 8.9 rebounds last season for the Razorbacks, helping serve as the most recognizable and important player during Anderson's return to Fayetteville, where he previously served for 17 seasons as an as-sistant under former coach Nolan Richardson.
Losing Portis after two sea-sons will be difficult, but the Ra-zorbacks will also miss Qualls, the team's second-leading scorer (15.9 points per game).
And perhaps even more devas-tating were the offseason arrests of three players on allegations of using counterfeit money — charges that remain unresolved. Among the three players was All-
SEC freshman point guard Anton Beard, who was expected to take on a leading role this season but is currently suspended.
The Razorbacks were picked by the media to finish 11th in the 14-team SEC. It's a position An-derson isn't accustomed to, though his players are embracing the role of underdog.
"We know people are counting us out right now, and that's OK," senior guard Anthlon Bell said. "We've just got to come out on the court every night and prove that we're still here and there's no let-down coming."
Some things to watch as Ar-kansas tries to avoid a letdown:
Jimmy Buckets: Anderson's top recruit last season was Mis-souri high school standout Jimmy
Whitt, who averaged 30.6 points per game during his senior season. The 6-foot-4 guard joins a team desperately looking for scorers, and Whitt is expected to fill that role from the opening tipoff.
Bell's Range: Bell is Arkan-sas' leading returning scorer after averaging 7.9 points in 18.3 min-utes per game last season, during which he hit 35.1 percent of his 3-point attempts. The 6-foot-3 senior has been the Razorbacks' most likely 3-point option the last two seasons, but he's likely to take on an expanded role this year.
Hannahs' Arrival: Dusty Han-nahs averaged 7.7 points per game as a freshman at Texas Tech two seasons ago, though he sat out last year after transferring back to his home state. The 6-foot-3 guard
brings a reliable outside shooting touch, having hit 36.9 percent of his 3-pointers with the Red Raid-ers.
Steady Improvement: Ar-kansas' win total has increased in each of Anderson's four seasons, improving from an 18-14 record in 2011-12 to 19 wins a year lat-er and 22 two years ago before last season's NCAA Tournament team.
In Limbo: Anderson said Beard and transfer Dustin Thom-as, another of the three arrested this summer, are still enrolled in school while awaiting the legal outcome of their case. The third player arrested, Jacorey Williams, was dismissed from the program after averaging 4.8 points per game last season.
Tulsa men in position to build on strong season TULSA (AP) — Tulsa is in position to
build on a season.The Golden Hurricane were 23-11 over-
all and finished second in the American Athletic Conference at 14-4. They return seven seniors who accounted for every start and most of the significant bench minutes
"Almost every player has improved their skill set," coach Frank Haith said at last month's TU Media Day. "I think you will see us shoot the ball much better and the offensive flow will be better."
Haith pointed to senior point guard Sha-quille Harrison, the second leading return-ing scorer at 13.1 points per game. He has raised the release point on his jumper dra-matically in an attempt to elevate his 23 percent 3-point shooting.
"You just don't see guys making a dra-matic change like that this late in their ca-reer, but Shaq has worked really hard on it
and is shooting much better."James Woodard, the team's leading scor-
er at 14.5 and the man who accounted for 88 of the team's 188 3-pointers last season, has been working on becoming a more re-lentless penetrator who gets to the line far more often. D'Andre Wright, the 6-foot-9 center who was one of the team's most tal-ented but least productive players the past two years — averaging 7.0 points and 4.0 rebounds last season — spent the summer with a traveling Athletes In Action team in the Phillippines.
"I've seen a real difference in him," Haith said. "More confident, more asser-tive. He's 6-10, 245 and can jump out of the gym. In order for us to get where we want to be, we need him, Rashad Smith and (backup center) Brandon (Swannegan) to take the next step.
"Marquel Curtis is shooting the ball
much better, as is Smith. Rashad had to make the toughest adjustment last year, going from playing underneath to facing the basket on the wing. He's much more comfortable now. Brandon has come a long ways with his jump hooks and post moves.
"Last year at the end we were getting great execution but just not making any-thing. It was frustrating for the coaching staff, because we knew we were running the right stuff. The guys realized they just needed to get in the gym and work on their shots. We track everything in practice and we're shooting at a much higher level now than we did at any point last year."
Junior college transfer Pat Birt and freshman point guard Sterling Taplin are expected to ease the 3-point drought. Only Woodard and guard Rashad Ray shot bet-ter than 30 percent from outside the arc.
Tulsa will need to execute at a high lev-el with a daunting schedule that includes an early home date with Wichita State on Nov. 17, a game at Oklahoma State on Dec. 2 and a neutral-site game against Or-egon State on Dec. 19.
With its veteran core, Tulsa would seem poised to make a run at the American cham-pionship and an NCAA Tournament berth (it lost in the second round of the National Invitation Tournament a year ago). Haith, who coached seven seniors four years ago at Missouri, said this group should avoid any cases of "senioritis."
"You can have guys look at it as this is their last time to shine and then you have individualism," Haith said. "Or you can have guys who are all about team. ... We have a team that really loves each other and pulls for each other. It's a good charac-teristic to have."

Channel your energy into progressive action, not anger. Practice positive thinking and don't let anyone drag you down or stand in your way. Refuse to stew over past disappointments. Stand tall and stay focused on your success and your future. Choose to
live life.SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Jealousy is apparent. Keep your workplace friendships professional. You may have things in common, but becoming personally involved with a colleague will have negative
effects on your future. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- In order to keep moving forward, you will have to make the first move. Don't wait for someone else to showcase your ideas. You have the talent. Make your dreams come
true. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Don't slow down when you are so close to the finish line. Don't waste the groundwork you've so diligently put in place. Keep the momentum going. Romance is in
the stars. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- If you hit a snag, confer with successful people who can offer sound advice. A second opinion will help you calculate your
options and potential outcomes. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Your emotions will cause havoc to your schedule. Avoid impulsive behavior or rash decisions and think deals through before you make unrealistic statements and
impossible promises.ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- Procrastinating will get you nowhere. Get unpleasant tasks finished so that you will have more time to do the things that you find satisfying. Someone from your past will make an enticing
offer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Don't give in to self-doubt. A charismatic attitude will make others take notice of what you are doing. A polished presentation to the right people will bring you
greater recognition. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Just because you are a go-getter doesn't mean you can't become overwhelmed. Consider what you have taken on and delegate tasks to friends and peers or learn to say
no without feeling guilty. CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Reconsider an offer that was presented to you in the past. Something you enjoy doing can turn into a paying gig. A trip will introduce you to a potential
partner. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- Listen carefully to what's being said, but unless you are asked for your advice, don't give it. Your attempt to help will be interpreted as meddling and end up causing
friction. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- A costly mistake will result if you are impulsive. Prosperity can be yours if you are patient. Make sure you have all the relevant factors in place before you make a
move. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Make your home more orderly and efficient. Rid yourself of items you no longer use and make your home a refuge where you can relax
at the end of a stressful day.

THE OUTLET MAULThe hotel room had everything
you could ask for: hairdryer, iron, coffeemaker, floor lamp, desk lamp, night-table lamps, mini-fridge, TV, DVD player and a room air-control unit. We were spending the night to attend an out-of-town wedding.Sue and I set our suitcases down
and pulled out our laptops and cellphones. After unplugging all the lamps so we could charge our
Today is the 309th day of 2015 and the 44th day of autumn.TODAY'S HISTORY: In
1605, Guy Fawkes was arrested in a Westminster Palace cellar, and the Gunpowder Plot to assassinate King James I of England was thwarted.In 1872, suffragist Susan B.
Anthony defied the law by voting, leading to a $100 fine.In 1895, George B. Selden
patented the first automobile.In 1940, incumbent Franklin
D. Roosevelt defeated challenger Wendell Willkie to win an unprecedented third presidential term.In 2007, Chang'e-1, China's first
unmanned lunar spacecraft, entered orbit around the moon.TODAY'S BIRTHDAYS: Ida
Tarbell (1857-1944), journalist; Roy Rogers (1911-1998), actor/singer; Vivien Leigh (1913-1967), actress; Art Garfunkel (1941- ), singer; Sam Shepard (1943- ), playwright/actor; Bill Walton (1952- ), basketball player/commentator; Bryan Adams
(1959- ), singer-songwriter; Tilda Swinton (1960- ), actress; Famke Janssen (1965- ), actress; Sam Rockwell (1968- ), actor; Ryan Adams (1974- ), singer-songwriter; Kevin Jonas (1987- ), musician.TODAY'S FACT: In August of
2015, women in Saudi Arabia were allowed to register to vote and to run for political office for the first time in the nation's history.TODAY'S SPORTS: In 1994,
45-year-old George Foreman knocked out 26-year-old
devices, there were still more out-let decisions to make: Do we unplug the TV or the fridge in order to charge my toothbrush?"You know, they make tooth-
brushes that don't use electricity," Sue reminded me."And there's a phone on the
desk," I said, "so why bother charging your cell?"Obviously, Sue and I had much
advice to give the young couple we came to see get married. Like, "Always say the first thing that pops into your head." And, "You don't have to be all lovey-dovey after the first few weeks; it's not like you have to impress him/her anymore."Who needs marriage counseling
when they've got us to advise them? Why be happy when you can be like us?Of course, we're not always like
that. It had been a long day. We set our alarms for 4 a.m. to catch a 6 a.m. flight. Then the phone rang at 3 a.m., telling us the flight had been changed to 9 a.m. - so we could sleep in. Except that now, we were wide awake. That's all right, we thought, we'll sleep on the plane."Sleeping on the plane." I've met
a few people who can do that. Incidentally, none of them are babies. No, what babies do on planes is the opposite of sleep. And the opposite of sleeping is not being awake, like you might think; it's bawling at the top of your lungs.The good news is that we were
sitting next to the plane engines, which blocked out much of the noise. Had he not been sitting next to us, I might not have even heard the wet, phlegmy cough of the passenger on the aisle. What could possibly make someone cough that much? Ebola? Pneumonia? The plague? The odd thing about it was that he also seemed to be sleeping. Cough, snore, cough, snore, cough cough,
snore.We finally lost him at the bag-
gage claim, because his luggage came out first and ours came out last. That put us last in line at the rental car counter, just in time to get on the road in rush-hour traffic. It was like we were winning the lottery in reverse.Plugging in a cellphone should
have been easy after that. But just as they say that an army is "always fighting the last war," hotels are always prepared for the last trend. They started put-ting fax machines in their lob-bies just about the time every-one switched to email. They started offering paid Wi-Fi just around the time Starbucks and McDonald's were offering it for free. Now they have free Wi-Fi, but not enough outlets for peo-ple who travel with every elec-trical gadget known to man.Most airports have gotten up
to speed on this, with charging stations all over the place. Who knows who's paying for all that electricity, but I hope it's the people who can afford to spend a week in short-term parking. Not me, in other words. New hotels are probably being
built right now with hundreds of outlets in each room, but by the time they open to the public, Silicon Valley will have proba-bly invented something new that needs a special plug or cord or voltage that no one antici-pated. Guaranteed, it will make every gadget you currently own either useless or tragically old-fashioned. Until that day comes, I'll be
traveling with several three-plug outlet adapters in my lug-gage. You should consider join-ing me in this.The marriage you save may be
your own.(Contact Jim Mullen at JimMullenBooks.com.)

Adult Learning Center adds HiSETPoteau Adult Learning Center
announces a new High School Equiv-alency Test.
Oklahoma is now offering the HiSET, as the first alternative to the GED test since 1942.
The candidate can choose which exam is a better fit for them in order
to demonstrate their high school level proficiency and readiness for higher education or the workplace.
The HiSET exam measures the same competencies as the GED test. All major federal programs, includ-ing the military, will accept the HiSET as well as the GED credential for
determining a valid high school diploma or its equivalent.
Poteau Adult Learning Center is an authorized GED Test Center and HiSET Test Center. Contact the PALC at (918) 647-0754 for additional information and a complete schedule of classes.
