Waynoka FCCLA helps create more birthdays
Appoints team to Relay for Life
The Waynoka FCCLA Chapter has been raising money for the American Cancer Society throughout the year for their Chapter Service Project. The Chapter wanted to make a difference by raising money and honoring our cancer survivors. Our FCCLA officer team has also formed a Relay For Life team to contribute to the project. We held a Pink Out in October at a home football game, organized a Hat Day during National FCCLA Week, made port covers in some of our FACS classes, and had two American Cancer Society representatives come speak to our classes about the programs and services they offer. Our first event this year was the Pink Out and it was a huge success. We raised over $2,100 which exceeded our goal. We appreciate everyone who contributed to our success at the Pink Out, and we hope we can raise even more money next year. During National FCCLA Week we had a Hat Day where students bought a Relay For Life sticker which allowed them to wear a hat at school for the day. Both of these events raised not only money but awareness about the American Cancer Society and Relay For Life. Two representatives of the American
Cancer Society came to the Family and Consumer Sciences classes on Marcy 29 to thank us for our efforts so far towards Relay For Life and to challenge us to do more. They discussed what Relay For Life is and explained what the money raised goes towards. The ladies from American Cancer Society also talked to us about things we could do to help prevent cancer such as eating right, staying fit, wearing sunscreen, and self examinations. The handouts and videos they showed were very informative. They also collected the thirty port covers that the clothing class had made to donate to the American Cancer Society so they can distribute
them to cancer patients who need them. The Waynoka FCCLA is raising money for their Relay for Life team and we would appreciate any support from the community in this project. We want to continue to help the American Cancer Society in any way we can. If anyone would like to donate to our team, feel free to contact Mrs. Poe at school at (580)824-4341. If you are interested in volunteering for the American Cancer Society you can contact Nichole Hamand at (580)744-0914. Thank you for supporting the Waynoka FCCLA and our philanthropy with the American Cancer Society as we create a world with more birthdays.

Fairview FCCLA completes exercise on cyberbullying Fairview FCCLA members are completing a Chapter Service Project, Social Networking: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Because the majority of us use some form of social networking, it is important to be able to identify the negative and positive communication consequences of its use.. Social networking lacks face-to-face communication so it’s impossible to rely on body language and tone of voice to help interpret messages. Because of this absence of face-toface interaction in social networking, many people become more outspoken. Conflict can escalate because people are more likely to say things that they wouldn’t say in person. This happens because the person is removed from the immediate and tangible feedback of the person. Because the effect words have on others are unseen, interactions can be blunter and possibly harsher. This can lead to cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is the harmful application of technology to extend the reach and impact of bullying behavior. A survey of 1,500 4th to 8th graders found: • 65% had been bullied online • 35% had been threatened online • 21% have received hurtful or threatening email • 58% say someone has said hurtful things to them online • 60% have not reported these incidents to parents or other adult Cyberbullying typically affects 9 to 14 year-olds. Ninety percent of middle schools students state that they have been a victim of cyberbullying. After age 14 it usually becomes cyberstalking or sexual harassment. If you are being bullied, harassed, or teased in a hurtful way – or know someone who is – you absolutely should report it. The first thing for teens to do is tell a trusted adult. This is often easier said than done. Teens who are cyberbullied may feel embarrassed or reluctant to report a bully. But bullying can escalate, so it’s important for them to speak up until someone helps. Walk away. Stepping away from the computer or turning off the phone gives perspective. Ignoring bullies is the best way to take away their power. Report inappropriate contact to the service provider. Sites like Facebook, MySpace, or YouTube take it seriously when people use their sites to post cruel or mean comments or to set up fake accounts. If users report abuse, the site administrator may block the bully from using the provider.
Don’t respond. Resist the urge to “fight back.” In some cases, standing up to a bully can be effective, but it’s also more likely to provoke the person and escalate the situation. Teens should ask an adult to intervene instead – after all, fighting fire with fire just leaves everything burned. Although it’s not a good idea to respond to a bully, it is a good idea to save evidence of the bullying. Instead of being confrontational, it is better to be assertive. Know what action to take. If someone is harassing or threatening you, remove them from your friends list, block them, and report them to the site administrator. Keep personal info personal. Be cautious about how much personal information you provide on social networking sites. The more information you post, the easier it may be for a hacker or someone else to use that information to steal your identity, access your data, or commit other crimes such as stalking. If you know about someone being cyberbullied, speak out and help the person being hurt. For more information contact Fairview FCCLA co-presidents, Larissa Austin and Emily Burggraf at 580-227-4446.

Cherokee I-46 School District to hold special election
e-mail, or by fax. Military personnel should contact the Voting Service Officers in their units for application forms and additional information. Residents of Oklahoma living overseas can obtain the same materials from any United States military installation and from United States Embassies and Consulates. Military personnel and overseas citizens also can download the appropriate application form from the Internet at www.fvap.gov.
Absentee ballots available Voters in Alfalfa County who want to have absentee ballots mailed to them for the May 10, Special Election for the Cherokee I-46 School District should apply now, County Election Board Secretary Kelly Stein said today. The Special Election is only for voters registered inside the geographical boundaries of the Cherokee I-46 School District. There will be two propositions on the ballot Proposition one is for constructing equipping, repairing and remodeling school buildings, acquiring school furniture, fixtures and equipment and acquiring and improving school sites, and levy and collect an annual tax, in addition to all other taxes, upon all the taxable property in such District sufficient to pay the interest on such bonds as it falls due and also to constitute a sinking fund for the payment of the principal thereof when due. Proposition two is for purchasing transportation equipment, and levying and collecting an annual tax, in addition to all other taxes, upon all the taxable property in such District sufficient to pay the interest on such bonds as it falls due and also to constitute a sinking fund for the payment of the principal thereof when due. Although the County Election Board can accept applications for absentee ballots until 5 p.m. on Wednesday, May 4, Stein urged voters who want to vote by absentee ballot to apply early. Absentee ballot application forms are available at the County Election Board office located at 300 S. Grand Avenue, Cherokee. The absentee ballot application forms also can be downloaded and printed from the Internet at www. elections.ok.gov. “At least two mail transactions must be made,” Stein said. “The County
Election Board must mail the ballots to the voter and the voter must return the voted ballots by mail.” Ballots must be in the hands of the County Election Board by 7 p.m. on Election Day in order to be counted. Stein said that any registered voter may vote by absentee ballot in any election in which he or she is eligible to vote. However, a voter must be registered and reside at an address within the geographical boundaries of a school district or a municipality to be eligible to vote in school district or municipal elections. It is not necessary to give a reason---or excuse---for voting absentee. “While anyone can vote absentee without giving a reason, the law still provides several excuses, and it is to the advantage of some voters to use one of them,” Stein said. By stating one of the following reasons on their applications, these voters can activate some special conditions that make it easier for them to use absentee ballots. The reasons are: Voters who are physically incapacitated and voters who care for physically incapacitated persons who cannot be left unattended may vote absentee. They may apply only by mail, by fax, or by telegraph. Voters who are confined to nursing homes in the county may vote absentee. An Absentee Voting Board actually goes to the nursing home a few days before the election, sets up a small polling place and allows these persons to vote under circumstances similar to those at a regular precinct-polling place. They may apply only by mail or by fax. Military personnel and residents of the county living overseas and the spouses and dependents of each group are eligible to vote absentee without being registered. These voters may apply by mail, by
