Waurika Rotary Club Receives Honors
Curtis L Plant
Waurika News Journal, Managing Editor
The Waurika Rotary Club was recognized and honored for their achievements this past year. Within the small club division of Rotary District 5770 Waurika was awarded the Outstanding Service Citation for the year, the Community Service Attendance Award, and was recognized for having 100 % member participation. Club president, Carter Waid, said he was very proud of the Waurika Rotary Club.
“We may be few in number, but we are very active. Every member is very dedicated,” said Waid. Waid is not only the Club President for Waurika, he is also the Assistant District Governor for Rotary. He has had perfect attendance to Club meetings and functions since June 1, 1973. He says he was inspired by Ed Anderson and Vester Phillips who each had fifty years plus of perfect attendance. He hopes to one day beat their records. (Continued on Page 10)

New Business in Waurika Offers Mystery and Adventures Curtis L Plant
Waurika News Journal, Managing Editor
Everyone enjoys a good mystery, however, there is no mystery about the passion Miranda Fox and her mother Donna Brown have for travel. Saturday was the grand opening of Waurika’s newest business, Awesome Adventures, located on Hwy 70. Although the weather was rainy and stormy, the day was anything but for Brown and Fox as they greeted guests
to their spacious new travel agency. Besides the service of booking a great get away for those in need of a little rest and relaxation, they also offer little things that can make your trip a bit more pleasurable such as beach towels and sunglasses. Travel agent Donna Brown began assisting travelers in 1999 from her home. She enjoys saving travelers both time and money. (Continued on Page 2)

Editor’s Desk On Being Positive Everyone has heard the story of the Sunday School teacher who gave each of her students a blank sheet of paper and told them to draw a picture of something from the Bible. As the teacher walked around looking at each student’s progress she stopped at a young boy’s table and asked him what he was drawing. “I’m drawing a picture of God,” he responded. “But nobody knows what God looks like,” she informed her student. “They will when I’m finished,” the student answered confidently. I read somewhere that a true optimist is someone who would go after Moby Dick in a rowboat and take the tarter sauce with them. Attitudes are like dreaded diseases, they are very contagious. It doesn’t matter if they are positive or negative. They have an impact on those nearby and they usually spread. Staying positive in a negative world is an uphill struggle, some would say, but once a positive attitude is achieved it is easy to maintain if it is nurtured and exercised daily. That’s where many of us fall short, we don’t do anything to foster or feed a positive attitude. We watch negative junk on television. We read negativity on the web.

We listen to negative talk show hosts on the radio. We listen to negative friends. Everyone has a gripe or complaint of some kind. I once was talking to someone who was complaining and forecasting that he was about to experience a set back, that things were going to fall apart. I said, “You need to stay positive.” He answered, “I am positive. I’m positive that it’s all going to fall apart.” I’m not sure if it is a science or a spiritual law, but it seems that those who generally have a positive attitude and expect the best of every situation tend to have more happiness and greater success in life than those who are pessimistic and always expecting the worse. So for at least one week, let’s try to keep a positive attitude and believe that the best is yet to come. Have a great week!

Waurika Lake Master Conservancy District receives $10,000,000 loan from OWRB for lake dredging and other improvements OKLAHOMA CITY – Waurika Lake Master Conservancy District (District) received approval for a $10,000,000 Financial Assistance Program (FAP) loan Tuesday from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) for dredging and other improvements to Waurika Lake. The District will use the FAP loan for several water supply improvements to Waurika Lake including dredging of sediment material from the lake, as well as the proper management of the dredged materials. The project will also include the removal and replacement of six gates and frames in the lake’s intake structure, the installation of a floating intake pumping structure, and for a pipeline extension. Portions of the intake structure at Waurika Lake are unusable due to sedimentation which blocks access to a significant portion of the lake’s water storage supply. These
improvements will help secure the future water supply for the communities dependent upon Waurika Lake. According to Joe Freeman, chief of the OWRB’s Financial Assistance Division, the District’s customers will save an estimated $3,100,000 in interest charges, over the life of the 30-year loan, compared to traditional financing. Dave Taylor, District Manager, attended the OWRB’s monthly meeting in support of the loan application. Since 1983, the Oklahoma Water Resources Board has approved over $3.2 billion in loans and grants for water and wastewater infrastructure improvements throughout Oklahoma. “We are grateful to the state legislators in southwestern Oklahoma for their support of our financial assistance programs,” said J.D. Strong, executive director of the OWRB.
(Continued from page 1) Brown says that having a travel agent pre-plan and fill out necessary paper work can even streamline the process of entering another country. Cruises, Disney Adventures, Sea World, Sesame Street Park, Vegas, or any trip you can imagine, they can book for you. Traveling and participating in one of their packages is actually cheaper than
if you book it yourself, because of discounts they can offer. They also can get you discounts to local entertainment as well. For instance you can get tickets to Castaway Cove (Wichita Falls), Frontier City, and Whitewater Bay cheaper than can by paying at the gate.

There were several friends that spoke about her and how she touched their lives. I was glad that Mom was able to attend her celebration with me.

Her daughter Leslie has retired from teaching and has moved back home with Edna to help her out on the farm.

Waurika Has Sent Six Boys Squads to State Tournaments
Trey Smart
Sports Journalist, WNJ & The Ryan Leader
There have been several great seasons of boys’ basketball at Waurika High School. But, none of them were more special and more memorable than the 1972-1973 edition of the Eagles. In just his third season at the helm of the Eagles, coach Jerry Marsh led his squad to the only state title in school history in boys basketball. Waurika capped off a rare perfect season with a 28-0 mark for the season and won the Class A state title with a 66-58 victory over Boley at the State Fair Arena in Oklahoma City. To win a state title in Oklahoma, you have to win three games in three days and after winning the previous 25 games, that is exactly what the Eagles did. In the quarterfinals of the state tourney, Waurika
picked up a 42-40 win over Silo. It was the first of a remarkable tournament for senior Jerry Gipson, arguably the best boys basketball play ever to don an Eagle uniform. In that first round win over Silo, Gipson scored 30 of Waurika’s 42 points. He made 14 of 36 field goal attempts. That number of attempts equaled what the entire Silo team had for the game. Waurika forced Silo into 23 turnovers - the final one coming with six seconds to play in the game to seal the win for the Eagles. In the semifinals, the Eagles had another hardfought win with a 74-72 victory over New Lima. Gipson helped rally the Eagles from a six-point deficit in the final quarter to earn Waurika’s first spot in the state championship game. Gipson hit a 15-foot jumper with 32 seconds left in the game to give the Eagles the win. Gip-
son finished with 31 points in the contest. Harold Herron added 20 points and had a steal with 21 seconds left in the game to secure the victory. The Eagles had to overcome 51% shooting by New Lima, but Waurika also took advantage of 30 New Lima turnovers in the game. Boley was an improbable opponent for the Eagles as the Bears entered the playoffs in the 1973 season with a losing record. In the title game, Waurika raced out to a 15-7 advantage after one period and by halftime had extended the lead to 33-23. Gipson was again the ringleader in helping the Eagles gain the 10-point advantage as he scored 21 of the first 33 Waurika points. Gipson finished with 31 points in the title game and Herron added 23. Gipson was named to the Class A all-tournament team following three

straight games of scoring 30 or more points. One thing that is remarkable about the 1973 team is that the five starters played every minute until the title game when Michael Ford fouled out late in the contest. Dale Bates and Duane Christian were the other starters on the team. Waurika earned a berth in the state tourney with a 46-41 victory over Wright City in the area tournament. The Eagles claimed the regional title the weekend before with a 67-48 victory over Lexington behind Gipson’s 33 points. The Eagles rolled to an 84-65 victory over Rush Springs in the first round of the regional. The post-season started
with the district tournament and that is where the Eagles faced their toughest test of the playoffs until the state tourney. After a dominating 8247 first-round win over Temple, the Eagles faced rival Grandfield, who had given Waurika a couple of tough contests during the regular season. The Eagles prevailed, 50-48, however, to advance to the regional tourney. Gipson capped his career with the Eagles by being named to the 1973 South squad of the AllState team selected by The Daily Oklahoman. He earned the honor by averaging 31.4 points a game - which was the second best individual scoring mark in Oklaho-
ma that season. Gipson scored nine points to aid the South in a 102-87 victory over the North in the game played in August of 1973. Waurika is one of the few state champions to record an unbeaten season. The Eagles were the only unbeaten team in Oklahoma during the 1973 campaign. The Eagles first entered the state rankings at seventh place in Class A with a 10-0 mark. They moved to third in the state by the end of January and stayed there until after the district tournament when they moved to second place in the final rankings. (continued page 8)

Hopefully last week’s article at least made you consider the advantages of getting out, exercising, and potentially getting healthier. It is something anyone can do and all it takes is a little time each day to change your life drastically! By the way, if you happen to go by “The Bike Stop” in Wichita Falls tell Austin you would like to look at new bike and pick up a pint of “bile” before you leave! It was funny, I took him a copy of the newspaper last Friday so they would have a copy of the article for their shop. He opened it up and started reading and then cracked up, it seemed the caption under his picture said, “Austin Monson at the Bile Shop”. Needless to say he was speechless. Just for the record their shop is named “The Bike Stop”. Now with the corrections out of the way let’s concentrate on getting (in my case anyway) our old bodies back in shape. As I said last week anything that gets us outside and moving is great. A walk around the block with your dog is a good way to start. For me a bicycle works so much better because there is no impact on my knees and hips. Those football injuries in your teens didn’t seem to be a big deal back then but when you get into your sixties they really began to take a toll. As I mentioned before bicycling is one of the best low impact exercises around and affordable.
Good quality bicycles can be found to fit anyone’s budget, just remember to pass on the discount store bikes! Their quality is questionable at best and you are better off to spend a little more for a bike that will last. I’m sure everyone knows of the “Tour de France” but even southern Oklahoma is surrounded by many bike rides located within 50 to 60 miles of us. The “Possum Pedal” in Graham, Texas is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and the City of Graham and is held in early June. The Possum Pedal offers rides of 6, 21, 27, 34, 50, 65 and 79 miles through northern Young County, including Graham, Newcastle, Padgett, Olney and Jean. The ride begins and ends at the corner of Third and Oak Street, in America’s Largest Downtown Square. Historical areas along the routes in-
miles. You are invited to join other cyclists as they blaze the roads of Wilbarger County in blazing heat. The ride promises to be fun and challenging, for the novice as well as the expert. So bring your water bottles and come prepared for a hot time. The “Tour of the Wichitas” will be held next weekend, June 20, 2015 at 8:00 a.m. A beautiful ride through Ft. Sill and the Wichita Mountains. You will be leaving the Polo Club at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday and riding either 17.5, 32, 42, or 50 miles (distances subject to change the day of event) through some of the most beautiful scenery in Oklahoma. The longer rides will have a water stop at the Visitors Center in the refuge. You can pause here and learn about the makeup of the refuge along with what types of animals it supports, also the

location of the hiking trails and fishing lakes. From the Visitors Center you may ride back by Mt. Scott through Medicine Park, or on a breathtaking downhill that will pass the Meers Restaurant and loop around Lake Lawtonka back to Ft Sill. This is a “smell the roses
ride”. Take your time, look around and enjoy! “The Duncan Dehydrator” is exactly that! It will be held July 25, 2015 in Duncan. Rolling through the low hills of southwest Oklahoma, the Dehydrator is a fun ride with distances ranging from 10-80 miles.

The recreational courses are clearly marked; route maps will be provided when participants pick up their race packet on the morning of the event. Stops will be provided approximately every 10 miles and there will be plenty of fluids, fruit and cookies. Known for its heat, the Dehydrator stages itself at Duncan’s premier sports and activity center, the Simmons Center. Participants will have run of the building, which includes showers, a pool, a sauna and a variety of athletic equipment. A free meal is served up for all entrants.

Cooking and gardening involve so many disciplines: math, chemistry, reading, history. - David Chang During the summer months, if you have children in the home with you, try sharing a cooking project with them – they’ll learn confidence and you’ll gain satisfaction teaching them a good healthy way to eat. The 80th Annual Meeting of OHCE will be July 12, 13 & 14, 2015 at the Embassy Suites in Norman, Oklahoma with the theme being “The Power of Many Will Make Us Strong “80” Years and Helping to Build the Future”. Get your reservations made before June 22 as they will increase after June 22. The Jefferson County OHCE group met for a Cultural Diversity Pot Luck lunch on Tuesday, June 9. We had a good meal and lots of good fellowship. Our next county evening meeting will Monday, August 10 at 5:30 p.m. where we will finish fair projects. Then we will meet Tuesday, August 11 at 12 noon where Pam Varner, Extension Educator from Cotton County will present “Quick Sewing Gifts”. Come join us as we learn quick gifts to make.
S U D O K U Solution
Here’s a thought for the day: “The object of Teaching is to enable those taught to get along without a teacher”. Each of us is a teacher – share your skills and teach someone something positive. Jefferson County Cooperative Extension provides assistance with Agriculture, Family Consumer Sciences and 4-H. Our office is located at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds and our number is (580) 228-2332. Cooking allows an opportunity to be creative. Of course, some food items require a little extra attention prior to the actual cooking process. Cooking helps to strengthen the math – measuring of ingredient items; determining size of pan or dish to cook the food item in and helps in determining the amount of cooking time. Cooking helps strengthen chemistry – when making yeast bread, a little salt and sugar are needed to aid the action of yeast; baking soda and baking powder are two different items and each requires a different liquid to properly allow the product to rise and brown; Cooking helps strengthen reading – reading the instructions and order to place the ingredients will make a big difference in the outcome of the cooked item; There is history in cooking – our grandmothers and great grandmothers, and even men, have cooked for centuries and many have passed down their recipes and such. Cooking is also a good family time – allowing children to assist in cooking helps to strengthen their confi-
dence and many times, the adults’ patience! Cooking your own meals allows you to prepare healthier meals by reducing the amount of fats and sodium found in already prepared food items. Gardening does not require a large area; many people are using large flower pots or other containers to grow tomatoes, green beans and herbs. It is a feeling of gratitude to watch a small plant begin to grow, bloom and produce the vegetable which, then, you can cook or even eat it raw. If you have questions on how to garden in small areas, contact your local Jefferson County Extension office at 580-228-2332. 4-H Summer Camp: noon July 8 – noon July 10 at Salt Creek Retreat, Ringling, OK. Call 580228-2332 for registration. 4-H Round up The 94th State 4-H Roundup slated on the OSU campus will be July 22-24, with an optional County Night Out July 21. This year’s theme is Building Your 4-H Legacy. Call 580-228-2332 for additional information. Summer Workshops: Wednesday, June 10, we had 7 students to participate in Poster Art lead by Pat McGriff assisted by Francis Jackson and Tara Brown. Each student had terrific ideas and I’m excited for you to see their posters at our Free Fair the 1st week of September! Our next workshop will be Wednesday, June 24 from 9:30 a.m. -1 p.m. at the Ringling Methodist Church. Each attendee will be making an apron and will need to bring supplies and a sack lunch. Call Tara Brown at 58022-2332 for information on type of supplies to bring. Here’s a challenge for all students (and their families): Eat a minimum of 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Drinks for hydration. You might think you’re all muscle but about twothirds of your body is made up of water. Water helps keep your body’s temperature stable, it carries nutrients and oxygen to cells, cushions joints, protects organs and tissues and removes wastes. You lose water from your body through sweating, breathing, urine and feces. Being properly hydrated helps your body function at its best. Dehydration – not having enough fluid
in your body – can cause headaches, fatigue, crankiness and poor concentration. It also affects your sports performance. To stay properly hydrated, you need to give your body a certain amount of fluids every day. This includes water, milk and other drinks. You need to drink more on hot days or if you’re exercising. Make sure you drink plenty of water before, during and after physical activity to put back what you lose through sweat. We often don’t feel thirsty even when we’re dehydrated, so it’s a good idea to drink water regularly even if you aren’t thirsty. Water and low fat milk are the best drinks for you. They quench your thirst without giving you all the sugar and additives found in fruit drinks and juices, soft drinks, sports drinks and flavored mineral waters. Here’s a fact: a 250ml glass of apple juice or cola contains the equivalent of six teaspoons of sugar. Drinking just one can of soft drink every day adds up to 18 kilograms of sugar in a year! Drinking water also helps rinse your mouth and prevent tooth decay. Most tap water contains fluoride which helps develop strong teeth. On top of that, tap water is inexpensive compared to all other drinks. Sports drinks which contain electrolytes have been shown to have benefits when you exercise for more than one hour. Sports Medicine Australia says that while water replaces lost fluids, sports drinks (containing 4% - 8% carbohydrate and small amounts of electrolytes) also provide additional energy and salts. Flavored drinks, such as sports drinks and low concentration cordial, may encourage more fluid consumption than plain water because of their taste and sodium content.

Columns, Puzzles, & Entertainment Horsefeathers give away what you wish would have been a secret . Recently I sold a horse trailer to a man who passed by my place and saw it parked by the road with a for sale sign on it. He told me he would buy it and bring the money when he came to get it. A week later he phoned and said his girl friend would stop by to pay me and pick it up. When she got here she was driving a big SUV. I had pulled the trailer up in my driveway and unhooked it from my pickup. The jack on the tongue didn’t have a wheel to go on the ground. When she backed up to hook on, the jack wouldn’t raise the hitch high enough to reach the ball. I ask her to pull up so I could again hook it to my pickup and raise the
tongue high enough to let it down on a block. When I backed up to the trailer I discovered I didn’t have the slide hitch and ball in the receiver. I opened the door to the back seat in my pickup and got the ball and hitch, put it in place, hooked up. raised the jack and put a block under it. Everything was now ready for me to move my pickup so the lady could back up to the trailer. I walked up to my pickup, got in, closed the door and was reaching for the ignition key when I realized that I was in the back seat where I had left the door open. I jumped out and looked at the lady with a stupid look on my face. She shook her head and said, “I saw nothing, nothing at all.” I helped our daughter
with a garage sale last week- end. We used her pickup to move some sale items from a storage building. When we parked to unload we both got out. I watched as she slammed the door to walk away and then cocked her head listening for something. When I ask if she wanted to turn the motor off in her truck she got one of those dumb look on her face and said, “I was just trying to figure out what that noise was.” Now I find out that when she went to the cleaners recently she left the door to her pickup open after she got the clothes from the back seat to take inside. When she left, the girls at the desk watched as she walked around to the open door, got in the back seat, put on her seat belt and reached for the

Waurika Basketball History (continued from page 4)
Rarely challenged during the season, the Eagles coasted to the Southern Eight and Red River Rebel Conference titles. The Eagles also won both conference tournaments. Waurika did not surprise everyone as they had compiled two outstanding seasons prior to the run to the state title. The Eagles were 23-5 in 1972 but fell in the district finals to Grandfield. Waurika won three straight to claim the regional consolation title. In the area tourney, Waurika defeated Keyes, 85-82, but were
eliminated by Cache, 93-65, in the consolation semifinals. In 1971, Waurika also finished 23-5 on the year. The Eagles secured the district tourney title with a 61-60 win over Lawton MacArthur on the Highlanders’ home floor. In the first round of the regional tourney, Waurika edged Cyril, 56-54. In the regional finals, Cache defeated the Eagles, 67-52. The 1971 playoffs were single elimination. Coming Next Week: A look at the other Waurika boys’ basketball teams to make the state tournament.

ignition. Realizing what she had done, with that dumb look on her face, she leaned over and looked to see if the girls inside were watching. At first she didn’t see them- -- but--when they stood up from behind the counter where they had been doubled over with laughter she knew they knew. Bless her heart, she didn’t get to choose her parents so it’s not her
fault. It must be hereditary. She’s such a sweet girl and she takes such good care of the whole family. Mama and I use her two or three days a week but looks like we will have to cut back now that she’s doing all her laundry at home. It’s a shame those girls at the laundry weren’t washing and ironing instead of spying on people getting in their pickup.
And the winner is.... Each week we will give away a copy of David Gregory’s autobiography, Accomplished Dreams to one of our subscribers. This week’s winner is Stephen Kennedy.

ALLEN returned from Gainesville where he took his wife about two weeks ago to place her under the care of physicians at a sanitarium there. J. A. BISHOP has moved his stock of second hand goods into the building formerly occupied by TOM’S CAFÉ. The rest of this article contains news found in the May 9,1957 edition of the Waurika News-Democrat. The lead article by Don Morrison says that “Washington Outlook Encouraging for Water Project on Beaver Creek.” It is a story about the future Waurika Reservoir. That week Morrison and a Blen MaGee had traveled to Washington to investigate if the project was even under consideration. They were happy to report that the project seemed high on the list of priorities of the Bureau of Reclamation as well as the Oklahoma Congressional
delegation. While there they spoke to a Don McBride, special assistant to Senate Robert S. Kerr, and to Kerr himself. They also visited with Carl Albert, Ed Edmondson, Tom Steed, John Jarman, and Page Belcher. The climate in Washington, however, seemed to be unfavorable toward “money bills” according to the article. Morrison believed the best time to introduce the bill would possibly be in the spring of 1958. In a related article titled, “‘Moderate’ Flood Toll May Reach $150,000 Total in County Alone” it is reported that agricultural losses were estimated at $81,200 on the Beaver and Cow creeks. Evidently in April there were 2,210,000 pounds ( or 113 tons) of water per acre that fell from the skies on Jefferson County. Also in 1957 the Waurika Hospital (located across from the Christian Church on Elm Street at the time) had recently underwent renovations. It had been repainted white with green trim
