Daily Scripture
And Jesus, full of the Holy
Spirit, returned from the
Jordan and was led by the
Spirit in the wilderness for
forty days, being tempted by
the devil. And he ate nothing
during those days. And
when they were ended, he
was hungry. The devil said
to him, “If you are the Son of
God, command this stone to
become bread.” And Jesus
answered him, “It is written,
‘Man shall not live by bread
alone."’ And the devil took
him up and showed him all
the kingdoms of the world in
a moment of time.
Luke 4:1-13

County approves emergency plan
BY JOHN BROCK
HERALD STAFF WRITER
Creek County Commissioners Monday approved a National Incident
Management System (NIMS) agreement.
“The NIMS certification is to be submitted to Homeland Security. It quali-
fies the county for grants and loans from the federal government including
FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency),” County Emergency
Manager Roscoe Thombury said.
NIMS is a national directive designed to institute a common standard for
comprehensive incident management for state, tribal and local governments,
private sector organizations and critical infrastructure owners. ‘Incidents’ to
Homeland Security could mean a wide array of misfortunes or disasters that
could potentially befall a community ranging from terrorism, severe weather,
earthquakes and the like.
The Department of Homeland Security was formed in response to the
September II, 2001 terror attacks by directives issued by then President
George Bush. The goal of Homeland Security is the protection of U.S territo-
ry, sovereignty, domestic popula,;on and critical infrastructure against external
threats and aggression.
Homeland Security Department includes 187 federal agencies and depart-
ments and private sector entities that employ 240,000. In 2011 the Department
of Homeland Security was allocated a budget of $98.8 billion. Jeh Johnson is
the current agency director.
In other actions by the BOCC this week the board agreed to sign a contract
with Pantera Energy Company, to allow the firm to drill a horizontal well in
Section 33 TI8N, R9E an area in both Commissioners Districts 2 and 3.
“It is a one year contract and the District Attorney Mike Loeffler recom-
mended we sign it,” BOCC Chairman Danny Gann said.
The board approved the high tech drilling method.
Pantera Energy was formed in 1982 and is headquartered in Amarillo,
Texas. The company specializes in oil and gas energy production and devel-
opment in the Mid Continent region of the U.S. primarily in Kansas,
Oklahoma, New Mexico and the Lone Star state.
Pantera specializes in acquiring low volume wells and then utilizes compa-
ny know-how to increase production.
Editors Note: Look for more coverage on Monday's meeting in an upcom-
ing edition.

only a wonderful thing for right here,
it’s helping us spread the word to
make change contagious,” said

nized as an Oklahoma Clean
