Apparently, I stepped on the toes of one of our county elected officials recently. On Sheriff Maxwell’s Facebook page, she referred to our newspaper as an “a**-wipe” newspaper. I know she was raised in the country, but she should know that now they have an item called toilet paper that replaces, corn cobs, newspaper and Sears catalog pages. However, she can use our newspaper any way she wants to, we just appreciate her reading it first. We are using a very high-quality newsprint so hopefully it won’t cause too much irritation.

Softball Crazy! The state of Oklahoma has gone softball crazy! The Sooners are national champions and the Oklahoma State Cowboys narrowly missed a chance to play for the national title! Rogers State won the NCAA Division 2 national championship! Oklahoma City University won the NAIA championship! My first experience with fast pitch softball came in 1984 when Prague called and asked me to umpire an Invitational tournament. I had umpired a great deal of summer slow pitch games and this would be my first experience with fast pitch.
Cheyenne Fixico was presented with an All-State Plaque at the awards banquet. Fixico played for the winning team from the East! Cheyenne went 1-2 at the plate, with RBI and then later scored a run in her team’s 7-5 victory.
