OBN donates vehicle to CCSO
The Cleveland County Sheriff’s
Office received an early Christmas
present Dec. 20.
Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics
and Dangerous Drugs Control
Director Darrell Weaver presented
Sheriff Joe Lester keys to a vehicle
the agency has donated to the
sheriff's office. The vehicle was
seized during an OBN investigation.
Weaver said OBN started a
program in 2007 where the agency
gives vehicles to law enforcement
departments in the state. The
vehicles are either no longer used
by agents or may have been seized
as the result of an investigation.
Weaver said many
departments work with limited
budgets and may not have the
ability to purchase vehicles.
“We’ve donated many vehicles
around the state,” Weaver said.
Sheriff Lester said he and
his department appreciate the
partnership with OBN.
“We thank them so much
for providing us a much needed
vehicle,” Lester said. “This vehicle
will be used to keep the residents of
Cleveland County safe."
2013 Cleveland County Showmanship Clinic
On December 14, 2013 the Cleveland County OSU Extension partnered with Canadian County and McClain County
along with Moore FFA to provide a showmanship clinic to 9K registered youth in 4-H and FFA. This clinic was geared
towards the local youth who show in local livestock shows or have an interest in the project areas such as swine, cattle,
lambs, chicken, or even rabbits and dogs! The day consisted of showmanship practice, livestock judging, basic animal
health, and lunch along with door prizes for everyone. Some of the instructors included staff from Oklahoma State Uni-
versity, Agriculture Education teachers from Oklahoma, and local veterinarian Dr. Kristi Scroggins, DVM. Overall the
day was full of hands on learning experiences for each individual. A special thank you from the Cleveland County Exten-
sion Center goes out to each sponsor, donor, instructor and also each participant from 4-H and FFA programs. Good luck
to all during the spring stock show season!!
The Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service offers its programs to all eligible persons regardless of race, color, national

Do you suffer from back pain?
It is estimated that 65 million people in the U.S. suffer from
neck or back pain. Neck and back pain can be caused by many
reasons; most commonly, it is caused by bulging, degenerative
or herniated discs. Until recently treatment has been limited to
medication, therapy and even surgery. A new therapy is now
available using FDA registered equipment, called DTS-spinal
decompression therapy. DTS therapy has shown excellent
results in clinical trials and is becoming the leading non-surgical
alternative for treatment of herniated, bulging of degenerative
discs. DTS therapy gently decompresses the spine in a safe and
cert controlled manner to greatly increase critical circulation
to the discs and joints of the spine. The increased circulation
allows the discs and joints to heal correctly and the decreased
pressure on the spine provides significant pain reduction
For more information or to schedule a free consultation and
demonstration of DTS therapy please call the office of Dr. Colt
Hazel, DC, at 527-3323.

JSA Today article
From Rep Bobby Cleveland
Knockout game
Over the past few months,
several state lawmakers
across the country have introduced bills that would I
impose harsher punishment on perpetrators of the I
“knockout game.” In “knockouts,” an assailant randomly I
punches a person as they are walking while the attack is I
videotaped and often posted to social media.
Oklahoma
Jnder a bill proposed by Republican state Rep. Bobby
Cleveland, a juvenile charged in a knockout case would
be tried as an adult. Additionally, a knockout charge
would be considered a felony instead of a misdemeanor,
which could result in a minimum of 10 years in prison, j
“This is something that is planned, and I don’t think a
eenager who does this should hide behind being a
eenager," Cleveland told USA TODAY Network.
Ilinois |
Republican state Rep. Dwight Kay introduced the
Knockout Assault Prevention Act, a bill that would make
committing a knockout a felony, resulting in a prison
sentence of three to seven years. Additionally, the
egislation states that teens 15 or older involved in the
crime would face trial in adult criminal court.
“I don’t think it’s funny at all,” Kay said of knockouts. “This
is not a game, and furthermore, it will not be tolerated.” I
Wisconsin
Republican state Rep. Dean Kaufert proposes a bill I
argeting not only knockout attackers but also those who
videotape the incidents. The measure would require that I
uveniles charged with knockouts be tried as adults.
“I think the person who does the videotaping should be
leld responsible, too, as an accomplice,” he told USA
TODAY Network. “It’s a proactive thing to say to teens
or young adults in Wisconsin that this is not a prank or I
a game And if you do something like this, there will be I
serious adult consequences."
New Jersey I
Republican state Rep. Ronald J. Dancer is co-1
sponsoring a bill that would set a minimum amount of!
time that those convicted in knockout cases would havel
to serve in prison before being eligible for parole. |
“It's really time for these individuals to do the time,"
Dancer told USA TODAY Network. “I think it’s a message
that we have to send to these sick individuals who want
to assault unprotected and unsuspecting everyday, real-
life people."
New York I
Republican state Assemblyman Jim Tedisco and state I
Sen. Hugh T. Farley propose a bill in which those I
convicted in knockout cases could receive up to 25 years I
in prison (up from the current four to 15), regardless of I
their age. The bill also would mandate that juveniles be I
tried as adults.
“They are not treated in a criminal manner, and really I
they have [had] no fear of the consequences of their
actions," Farley said of juveniles in knockout cases I
under current law.
