:'■'''■*■.' ._"'■' = '''''\ : INDEX News Around Indian Country 2 Commentary/Editorials/Voices 4 Smoke Signals of Upcoming Events 5 Classifieds 6"7 In loving memory of Brian Lee Chee pg3 Changing face of diabetes in Minnesota pgi Legislative standoff may spell defeat of tribal police aid bill and others By JeffArmstrong Tlie late of most state legislation affecting Natives in Minnesota will be decided in a special legislative' session expected to be called this month to avert a June 30 shutdown of state government services. Proposals to provide state funding for tribal police, limited urban Indian housing assistance, property tax exemptions for certain tribal housing and acceptance of tribal identification cards in state elections are all issues which would be decided by conference committees—ifthey are addressed at all. Refusing to accept the terms set by Gov. Ventura and house Republicans for summoning the legislature back into session, Senate majority leader Roger Moe said this week he would prefer to approve a minimal budget to provide for only essential state functions. A failure to resolve the impasse would dius likely result in the derailment ofthe legislation at least until tlie next session in February. Rep. Sondra Erickson, who sponsored the tribal i.d. registration bill and opposes the state tribal police aid measure, said both are incorporated into the state government finance bill which is among the disputed issues between the house and senate. A member ofthe working group on the legislation, Erickson predicted the tribal police aid provision would not be included if an agreement is reached between the two legislative branches. "That bill did not have a separate hearing and it should be heard next STANDOFF to pg. 4 "Indian courts": a brief history by Clara NiiSka In August 1881, Crow Dog, "belonging to" the Brule Sioux Band, killed Spotted Tail, who signed the treaty of 1868 as the principal Chief ofthe Brule Sioux. "The killing," according to court records, "took place at their agency upon tlie Great Sioux Indian reservation, in the first judicial district of Dakota Territory." Crow Dog was convicted of murder by the district court of Dakota territory, and sentenced to death. In November 1883 the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on writs of habeas corpus and certiorari filed on behalf of Crow Dog. In the case Ex Parte Civw Dog, decided December 1883, tlie Supreme Court reversed the territorial court decision, and ruled tliat, "the First District Court of Dakota is without jurisdiction to find or try an indictment for murder committed by one Indian upon another in the Indian country, and a conviction and sentence upon such indictment are void, and imprisonment thereon is illegal." The Supreme Court's decision in Ex Parte Crow Dog includes a finegrained analysis of tlie jurisdiction ofthe district courts ofthe Territory of Dakota, sections of die revised U.S. statutes pertaining to "crimes arising within the maritime and territorial jurisdiction of die United States," the provisions ofthe treaty of April 29th, 1868 and an agreement with "certain bands ofthe Sioux Indians, &c." approved by Congress February 28*, 1877. The eighth article ofthe 1877 agreement provided diat the signatory Sioux "be subject to tlie laws ofthe United States, and each individual shall be protected in his rights of property, person and life." The Supreme Court decided that the words of that agreement "can have no such eifect as that claimed by them"—that the Sioax were subject to U.S. law, "not in the sense of citizens, but... as wards subject to a guardian... as a dependent community who were in a state of pupilage." U.S. policy: "annihilation," "assimilation," and "tutelage" in "civilization" In 1871, Congress ended U.S. treaty-making with Indiaas. United States Indian policy underwent a transformation in the 1870s and early 1880s: from President Grant's "peace policy"—"Indians who did not go willingly to the reservations would either be driven there by force or exterminated in the process"—to a long-range agenda of "assimilation." As Senator Dawes, better-known for tlie General Allotment Act, put it, die "Indian people will not remain as a separate race among us ... He is to disappear in die midst of our population, be absorbed in it, and be one of us and fade out of sight as an Indian..." Tlie assimilationists' agenda of Christianization and the use of "education" to "kill the Indian... and leave the man and the citizen" was countered by the philosophy expressed by the Supreme Court in Ex Parte Crow Dog: that Indians were "... aliens and strangers... a community separated by race, by tradition, by the instincts ofa free though savage life ..." During the 1870s, most U.S. Indian reservations remained under military control—-Indian agents were often also officers in the U.S. Army. Excerpts from the annual Report ofthe Commissioner df Indian Affairs provide a glimpse ofthe foundations of present U.S. Indian policy: 1878, Indian police: By Act of May 27, passed at the last session of Congress, provision was made for die organization at COURT to pg. 4 MnDOT attempts to repeal new law to protect Coldwater Spring by Cheryl Fields The new law intended to protect historic Coldwater Spring is under attack by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) which is attempting to introduce an amendment, after the close ofthe regular legislative session, to exempt construction at the Highway 55/62 interchange that currently threatens groundwater flow to the Spring. Since losing a court decision last week allowing the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District to continue dye tests on groundwater flow at the 55/62 interchange - tests that MnDOT roadblocked for months - MnDOT has been meeting in conference committees in an attempt to weaken the language ofthe new law to protect the Spring. The law protecting Coldwater Spring was signed by Gov. Jesse Ventura on May 15, passing 123 to 20 inthe House, and unanimously in the Senate. Not a single witness testified in opposition to tlie legislation throughout all legislative committee hearings which included representatives from MnDOT and also spokesmen from Tlie Metropolitan Airport Commission, the Department of Natural Resources and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District In a letter to the members ofthe conference committee, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District states that MnDOT's action "would effectively repeal" die law, adding, "It is hard to conceive of activity other than Highway 55/62 construction work, now or in die future, that would pose a risk to the Springs. Therefore, to exempt planned construction on this project from the law would seem to exempt the only work that might trigger the law." According to the watershed district "fairly inexpensive redesign can eliminate" risk to the Spring if implemented at this time during construction. "MnDOT's present legislative effort seems to be a disproportionate response to the concern, particularly where it repeatedly has expressed its commitment to avoid any possible harm to die Springs." According to attorney Jordan Kushner who has otlcn provided counsel to the Preserve Camp Coldwater Coalition which initiated the protective legislation, "MnDOT's previous opponents have been community, environmental and Native American groups who lacked funds to hire independent experts to challenge MnDOT's hired guns. Now, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District another government agency with the budget to hire an independent expert is finally using accepted science to back up obvious common sense conclusions about the effect of its (MnDOT's) project." According to Mary Weitz, a member of die Preserve Camp Coldwater Coalition, the legislation had strong bipartisan support and MnDOT had ample opportunity to raise any objections. Now, after being signed into law, MnDOT and a conference committee of eleven individuals can undo the entire legislative process. Coalition member Susu Jeffrey sees the introduction of this REPEAL to pg. 3 Peace pipe makers in the town of Pipestone By Vince Hill In the southwest part of our state, with out-of-the-way access from the major freeways, lies Pipestone, Minnesota, rich in both white and American Indian history. George Catlin, the famous American artist and explorer, traveled dirough the Pipestone area in 1836. In his letters and notes on die North American Indians, first issued in 1841, he commented that on top ofa mound or ridge was found "The far-famed quarry or fountain of the Red Pipe, which is truly an anomaly in nature (Plate 270)." Of interest to me personally, since I attended my first four elementary grades atthe Pipestone Indian Boarding School in 1944- 1948, was the mention by Catlin ofa quarry, which in lateryears served as the swimming hole for Anishinabe Pipestone Indian Boarding School students, and staff. I still vividly recall superintendent J. W Balmer, with a cigar in his mouth, swimming the approximate 150-yard long quarry back and forth with his face toward the sun and clouds. Mr. Balmer was a pudgy balding Chimook (white). "At the edge ofthe wall, and within a few rods of it, and on die very ground where the Indians TUte Pipestone Quarries "The Pipestone Quarries' dig for the Red Stone, rests a group of five stupendous boulders of gneiss, leaning against each other" (Catlin). This is now the location ofthe money - making Song of Hiawatha Pageant performed annually and marketed to tourists. "The surface of these boulders is in every part covered with a gray moss, which gives them an extremely ancient and venerable appearance, .. ..it is under these blocks that the two holes, or ovens are seen, in which, according to the Indian superstition, the two old women, the Guardian Spirits ofthe place reside." (Catlin) A number of local and outside interest groups have been fighting for years over actual control ofthe Pipestone and Sioux quartzite i", George Catlin, 1836 mines at Pipestone. After the Sioux Indian insurrection in the 1860's that led to ensuing near extermination ofMinnesota Sioux Indian tribes, the Chimooks in soudiem Minnesota wanted the remaining "savages to be taught manual labor skills" - hence the Pipestone Indian Training & Boarding School at Pipestone, Minnesota. The Indian Boarding School became fully operational by 1893, and was open to all Indian tribes in Minnesota and surrounding states. The 640-acre "Pipestone Reservation" so designated by the U.S. Congress to authorize funding of the Indian Training School, included control ofthe Pipestone and Sioux Quartzite mines, served to CATLIN to pg. 5 Minnesota Department of Transportation to repeal new law to protect Coldwater Spring pg5 What American Indian students need pg4 Commentary Nei Bottling of Bemidji to distribute Red Lake bottled water pg4 Voice o T H E People web page: www.press-on.net Native American Press Ojibwa News We Support Equal Opportunity For All People A weekly publication.

Vice-Chairman Glynn Crooks and Secretary/Treasurer Lori Crowchild cut the red velvet ribbon and welcomed guests to the store. Crooks in a brief speech said, "This store will give visitors an opportunity to learn about what Minnesota tribes have to offer, not just the tribal casinos, which are great attractions in their own right, but the amenities and ancillary facilities that tribes have developed so successfully in recent years. This past February Governor Ventura told some of our tribal leaders in Minnesota that he saw great opportunity for cooperation in the area oflndian tourism. We see this Mall of America's store as the first I step in an ongoing effort to ex- - pand tourism as an economic development tool, and to educate the public about the many wonderful things to see and do at every one of Minnesota's eleven Indian reservations." Good fishing opener prompts change in Mille Lacs harvest rules AssociatedPress BRAINERD, Minn. - Abusy fishing opener and strong catches by anglers has prompted the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to change regulations for walleye fishing on one ofthe state's biggest inland lakes. Tlie DNR announced Thursday that, effective June 5, only walleyes between 16 inches and 18 inches may be harvested and no trophy fish will be allowed on Lake Mille Lacs. The previous regulation allowed harvest of walleyes between 16 inches and 20 inches and one walleye over 28 inches. The previous regulation had been recommended by the Mille Lacs Fisheries Input Group, with the understanding diat if it was too liberal it would be changed to keep the walleye harvest under the state's allocation of 310,000 pounds for the 2001 season. Tlie input group includes resort owners, fishing guides, bait dealers, local and state government officials, tournament representatives and representatives of angling groups. On the fishing opener weekend, anglers harvested 52,000 pounds of walleye, the highest harvest in eight years, the DNR said. Tlie high harvest continued through Memorial Day weekend to bring the total har- . vest to 167,000 pounds as of Monday. Tlie harvest was significantly OPENER topg. 3 Paperwork filed before court showdown over ancient skeleton By William McCall Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore. - In what likely was the last exchange of legal paperwork before they head to court, attorneys for eight scientists battling Indian tribes over the oldest and most complete human skeleton found in North America repeated claims about an alleged cover-up by the federal government. The documents filed Monday in U.S. District Court also included new affidavits from two ofthe scientists questioning government measurements ofthe 9,000-year- old skeleton known as Kennewick Man. "The government really is saying 'Trust us to do good science,'" said Alan Schneider, one ofthe attorneys representing scientists who are asking for more time to independently study the bones found along the Columbia River in 1996 near Kennewick, Wash. "But it is fundamental to anything done in modem science to subject theories and materials to experimental testing," Schneider said. "In science, it's not 'aust me,' it's 'show me.'" SHOWDOWN to pg. 5 Changing face of diabetes in Minnesota By Jean Pagano Tlie 6,h Annual Changing Face of Diabetes in Minnesota was held on 4 June 2001 at die University of Minnesota in Saint Paul. The focus of die meeting was to examine diabetes and the care needs ofthe culturally diverse populations in Minnesota. Whereas diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death among Minnesotans, it is the fourth leading cause of death among American Indians and it is four times as prevalent among Native peoples as in the state's general population. A number of speakers addressed the problems that Indians widi diabetes face. These speakers included Yvonne Bushyhead ofthe Indian Health Board of Minneapolis, Dr. Felicia Schanche Hodge ofthe Center for American Indian Research and Education at the University ofMinnesota, Dr. Yvette" Roubideaux ofthe University of Arizona, Tucson, and Monte Fox ofthe White Earth Diabetes Project. Some interesting statistics about diabetes among American Indians in Minnesota: • The prevalence of diagnosed diabetes among American Indians in Minnesota is 12% ■ American Indians in Minnesota are more than 4 times more likely to have diabetes than non- Hispanic whites DIABETES to pg. 5 RETROSPECTIVE The Metis, or half-breeds ofthe Red River ofthe north by Alexander Ramsey Annual Report ofthe Commissioner oflndian Affairs, 1850 The Indian agents in diis quarter have, before this, called tlie attention of Government to the constant trespassing ofthe half- breeds, from the possessions of the Hudson's Bay Company, upon our territory, where they destroy immense numbers ofthe buffalo, thus depriving the half- breeds within our lines on the Red River ofthe north, and our Indians, ofthe proper and rightful provisions which nature has so bountifully provided, nearly exclusively within the precincts ofthe American soil. These hali-breeds are of every . imaginable cross of Scotch, English, French, Canadians, and Orkneymen, with Indian women - the latter, for the most part, Krees and Chippeways. They number in all quite ten thousand people, distributed in various settlements along the valley ofthe Red river of the North, which beyond its widening at Lake Winnipeg, is termed Mackenzie's river, until it debouches into Hudson's Bay. The main settlement is around Fort York, below Lake Winnipeg; and another considerable body are gathered around Fort Gary, at the mouth ofthe Assiniboine river, less than one hundred miles beyond the American boundary; METIS to pg. 6

Hong Kong Disneyland Review
Though Hong Kong's home to Mickey Mouse is tame compared with other Magic Kingdoms, it's fast bringing Mai Kei Lo Su—as the world's most famous mouse is known locally—to a mainland audience. Younger kids will find plenty of amusement, but their older siblings and parents will have to settle for just one thrill ride, Space Mountain. If you need to visit a theme park in Hong Kong, Ocean Park in Aberdeen (Southside, above) is a better bet.

Inherited forms of cancer have been my main interest for around 20 years. The research I have been involved first focused on the identification of genes associated with with inherited forms of colorectal cancer and breast cancer. The research area proved to be extremely successful as it really set the scene for our current understanding of the genetic basis of malignancy.
Since the identification of genetic susceptibilies my research interests have focused on better defining these inherited entities such that more appropriate intervention strategies can be developed. Initially, much emphasis was placed on recognising genotype/phenotype correlations with disease and as such the research I have undertaken has done much to define such relationships. More recently, the role of modifier genes in disease penetrance has been a major thematic area and data forthcoming from these studies indicates that there are additional disease suspectibilies that are important in assessing individual risk on a genetic background of high risk. This research is now begining to be translated to the general population as it represents the first tentative move towards determining cancer risk in the general population. With increasing emphasis on disease prevention it is to be expected that this research will continue to flourish.
My research career took off in Switzerland where I consolidated a centre dedicated to the study of inherited predispositions to cancer. During this period of my research career I was heavily involved in the identification of genetic predispostions to breast cancer and bowel cancer and through my activities supervised 4 PhD students who have since had excellent careers in medical research. The research that I am focused on is consistant with two of Austalia's national priorities, heathy aging and a healthy start to life.

Jets, Tebow get to work on wildcat package
By DENNIS WASZAK Jr.
Topics: From the Wires
CORTLAND, N.Y. (AP) — The New York Jets have extensively practiced their wildcat package with Tim Tebow for the first time in front of the media during training camp.
The Jets provided a small glimpse into their plan for Tebow and their wildcat-style formation on Aug. 2 during goal-line drills, but had not worked specifically on the scheme until Monday.
The practice is closed to the public, so the media is restricted from reporting specifics about how the Jets are using the wildcat and with what personnel. But, as coach Rex Ryan has insisted, the wildcat appears it will be at least a small part of Tony Sparano's offense with Tebow in the mix.
Sparano helped make the scheme popular again a few years ago when he was the coach of the Miami Dolphins.

Tate Liverpool Announces First Major Retrospective of Nam June Paik
Nam June Paik, Route 66, 1993, Installation, 2 channels, approx. 130 x 150 x 120 cm. Mixing technique: motorbike, monitors © Nam June Paik Estate, New York, 2010/ collection Peter Kolb. Photo: Peter Kolb.
Video artist, performer and composer Nam June Paik (1932-2006) was one of the most innovative artists of the 20th century and is widely considered to be the first video artist. From 17 December 2010 - 13 March 2011
Tate Liverpool
, in collaboration with FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology), presents the first major retrospective of Paiks work in the UK. Displaying works from all phases of his career, many shown in the UK for the first time, the exhibition traces the artists avant-garde and experimental spirit.
Born in South Korea, Paik began his career as a composer in Japan and Germany, later developing an interest in electronic art and avant-garde movements including the Fluxus group. Influenced by and working alongside artists such as John Cage, Joseph Beuys and Karlheinz Stockhausen, his early years in Germany proved to be a formative experience for his practice. Paik continued his experiments in performance and video art after moving to New York in 1964. His collaboration with cellist Charlotte Moorman was particularly significant in the context of the New York avant-garde.
Characterised by an inventive use of technology, Paiks signature style has been established through mesmerising closed-circuit video installations and manipulated TV works. Covering the diverse yet coherent phases of his career, Tate Liverpools exhibitionoffers a definitive look at Paiks body of work, from the scores of early music performances and TV works, to robot sculptures and large-scale video installations. In the late 1960s Paik and Japanese video engineer Shuya Abe developed a sophisticated method of manipulating video images with the invention of the Video-Synthesiser, which revolutionised video art by distorting the colour and shapes of images on TV screens. Paik also undertook public broadcasting and satellite TV projects that were revolutionary in demonstrating the power of decentralised public media, and his experimental use of popular music and visual images are recognised as an early precursor to the MTV generation.
The exhibition also showcases a rich selection of documentary materials from Paiks performances and early exhibitions, including Exposition of Music Electronic Television, the artists first solo exhibition at the Galerie Parnass (Wuppertal, Germany) in 1963. Paiks influential collaborations are also explored in depth, including his friendship with artist Joseph Beuys, and its wider significance in both artists practice.
Focusing on Paik's innovative use of creative technology, FACT will showcase Laser Cone for the first time in the UK: a major laser installation representing Paik's 'post-video period and the culmination of his continuous experiments with new technology and media. The presentation will also include a number of single-channel video works, demonstrating the artists interests in the digital manipulation of visual images as well as the possibilities of satellite technology in extending the physical realm of video art. FACTs display concludes the retrospective both in terms of its chronology and its conceptual genealogy.
Nam June Paik is initiated and developed by Tate Liverpool and museum kunst palast, Düsseldorf, curated by Sook-Kyung Lee and Susanne Rennert. The exhibition is presented in Liverpool by Tate Liverpool in collaboration with FACT, with curatorial support from Karen Newman.
Museum kunst palast, Düsseldorf, will present the exhibition from 11 September 21 November 2010.

If you were to take the mind of an adolescent male and somehow fuse it with that of a sophisticated film auteur, you would end up with Quentin Tarantino. (Beavis meets Bergman, I guess you could say.)
Indeed, on its most basic level, Inglourious Basterds advances a simplistic premise: Killing Nazis is cool! And killing lots of Nazis in lots of different ways is even cooler.
No argument here. But amid all the killing, Tarantino takes time to have scenes that are breathtakingly beautiful, suspenseful, audacious, hilarious, and, yes, even reverent to the filmmakers who have preceded him (the old cinephile video store employee in Tarantino still lives on).
He tells his story in chapters. In chapter one, we meet a French dairy farmer who is harboring a family of Jews in his floorboards. Into his home comes Col. Hans Landa (Christoph Walz, deliciously sadistic), nicknamed "The Jew Hunter." (He pretends to be offended by the handle, but secretly loves it.) What follows is a masterful pas de deux, where the unctuous Landa toys with the poor...

Timothy White, now head of UC Riverside, will take over as chancellor of the California State University system in late December with an annual salary of $421,500, with a CSU standard benefits package and a $30,000 supplement from CSU Foundation sources.

University of California Berkeley Chancellor Provost salary #756,000. Democrat and Republican, you can help Cal. The public�s University of California harvests family savings, Alumni donations, supporter�s money and taxes. Cal. ranked #1 public university total academic cost (resident) as a result of the Provost�s, Chancellor�s �charge resident�s higher tuition�. UCB tuition is rising faster than other universities.
Cal ranked # 2 nationally in faculty earning potential. Spending on salaries increased 29% in last six years. Believe it: Harvard College less costly.
University of California negates promise of equality of opportunity: access, affordability. Self-absorbed Provost Breslauer Chancellor Birgeneau are outspoken on �charging residents much higher� tuition.
Birgeneau ($450,000) Breslauer ($306,000) like to blame the politicians, since they stopped giving them their entitled funding. The �charge instate students higher tuition� skyrocketed fees by an average 14% per year from 2006 to 2011 academic years. If they had allowed fees to rise at the same rate of inflation over past 10 years fees would still be in reach of middle income students. Breslauer Birgeneau increase disparities in higher education, defeat the promise of equality of opportunity, and create a less-educated work force.
Republican, Democrat, and Tea Party you can help. The sluggish economy, 10% unemployment devastates family savings. Simply asking for more taxes (Prop 30, 32, 38) to spend on self-absorbed Cal. leadership, inefficient higher education practices, over-the-top salaries, lavish bonuses, is not the answer. Additional state tax funding must sunset:
UCB is to maximize access to the widest number of residence at a reasonable cost. Birgeneau Breslauer�s �charge Californians higher tuition� denies middle income families the transformative value of Cal.
The California dream: keep it alive and well. Fire Provost George W Breslauer. Birgeneau resigned. Cal. leadership must accept responsibility for failing Californians.

What is the average salary of a chancellor like person in a private school? If you
want top notch public education - you have to pay top notch. If you dont -- then public education will go to the dogs and the only education left will be private and everyone will have to pay for this.
By this time - half the readers have already tuned off and made their judgement.
Now - I'm certainly not arguing that this other reality isn't acceptable or better -- but I want to make sure you realize clearly what the end game is going to be. No safety nets ... and then we are all off to the races.
Posted by Helen, a resident of the Another Pleasanton neighborhood neighborhood, on Oct 8, 2012 at 8:45 am
Notice that the new Chancellor got his start at the community college level then progressed to eventually earning his doctorate degree. Without the passage of Prop 30, the community colleges will lose funding. Students who might otherwise not attend college will lose out. This eventually affect everyone, not just youth, as we all know education leads to better employment, stable economy, etc. Vote wisely....
Posted by Ptown native, a resident of the Stoneridge neighborhood, on Oct 8, 2012 at 8:58 am
I completely agree with Milan.
Btw...democrats gave been in control of the education
system for so long. Yet they are the ones who complain.
These people should care more about education than
pensions. All they care about is raising taxes for their
Own salaries.

Salaries for college administrators and faculty have gotten way out of hand. It is one of the leading causes of the skyrocketing price of a college education. Unfortunately, it won't stop until parents start boycotting institutions with high tuitions.
Posted by Parent paying tuitions, a resident of the Another Pleasanton neighborhood neighborhood, on Oct 9, 2012 at 9:16 am
Community Colleges are the way to go these days. The Universities will suck us dry if we continue to let them charge these insane tuitions. Time to take a stand and stand along side the Alternative Choices.
Posted by mixitup, a resident of the Castlewood neighborhood, on Oct 9, 2012 at 9:47 am
Such a salary is a really good indication of how pathetic California is becoming when it comes to education. I am confident that someone could be found for half that salary and do a better job.

HUGO ––Members of the Hugo city council approved several items regarding the Hugo Airport during its regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday evening, including two service agreements for the newly installed AWOS system.
After a recommendation by airport supervisor De-Wayne Pence and a motion by councilman Bart Tedder, it was approved to allow Charles Cousins with Cousins Electronics to be the technician, due to cost ($200/month) and location, of the AWOS system.
Also approved regarding the airport was renewal of the subscription for the National Weather Service annual fee of $900.
CHOCTAW COUNTY ––At approximately 7 a. m. Monday morning, District 17 Drug Task Force Agents, assisted by the Choctaw County Sheriff's Office, served a search warrant at a Swink residence, belonging to Art Sarver, who was believed to be trafficking in large amounts of marijuana.
According to official reports, when law enforcement agents arrived at the home northeast of Swink, the smell of marijuana was so strong, it could be detected from the front yard. Oune-pound bundles of marijuana were hidden inside ice chests and coolers inside the home, reports stated, and agents found large scales in the location the marijuana was being stored.
Agents seized more than 11 pounds of high-grade marijuana, several vehicles, motorcycles, 11 firearms and $5,782 in cash. Agents believe Sarver was a marijuana supplier for the Choctaw and McCurtain County area.
Candidates for municipal office in Choctaw County municipalities file declarations of candidacy beginning at 8 a. m. Monday, Feb. 4, 2013.
Cathy Davidson, secretary of the County Election Board, said the filing period ends at 5 p. m. Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2013.

HUGO — Oklahoma Second District Congressman Markwayne Mullin included Hugo and Choctaw County last week in his first townhall blitz since being sworn in the first week of January.
Flanked by a large gallery of law-enforcement officers, Mullin explained that he and his family recently received death threats as a result of his stance against the banning of assault weapons.
Mullin said representing Oklahoma's Second District in the nation's capital, "is an honor I don't take lightly."
As the freshman congressman learns the ropes in Washington, D. C., he made it clear that he was highly put off by "party politics."
The Board of Directors of Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma (LASO) has elected Bruce Frazier, advocate for the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Victim Assistance Program, to serve as LASO's president for 2013. Frazier served last year as vice-president and has been a board member since 2009.
"Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma helps provide much needed legal services to those who would otherwise have no one to turn to," said Frazier, who lives in Hugo. "In today's economy we have many members of the Choctaw Nation as well as others who would be lost in a justice system through which they could not find a path. I feel it is an honor and a privilege to serve Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma as a member of the Board of Directors and strive to lead the board through these days when funding challenges are surpassed by the greater need of our clients."

The path Mary Jane Stillwell has walked started with soreness and a lump in her breast, discovered late in July on a family vacation to Pigeon Forge, Tenn.
A few weeks later, on the afternoon of Aug. 17, she received the numbing news from a voice on the phone that the lump was cancerous.
The end, as she knows it, could be Thursday when she has her breast removed at University Hospital in Louisville. Stillwell already has endured numerous rounds of chemotherapy to shrink the lump and rid her body of cancer.
"I am just ready for it all to be over with and to move forward," said the Hodgenville mother of three. "In some ways it has been a blur the last several months."
There have been regular Thursday trips to the James Graham Brown Cancer Center in Louisville, lonely nights when the darkness left her frozen in emotional and frightening thoughts. There also have been days filled with hugs, tears and laughter.
And there have been shopping trips for scarfs, a wig and most recently, as she calls it, "boobie shopping" for a gel implant.
The noon surgery is expected to last about an hour, followed by about an hour of work for the implant.
As part of the surgery, a nuclear dye test will be administered to identify if there is cancer in any of Stillwell's lymph nodes. The magic number the Stillwells are looking for next week is four or less.
Anything less than that number won't require radiation treatments. Above it, and the constant battle against cancer will continue.
"Hopefully everything is good and it's gone," said David Stillwell, her husband of 19 years. "There's always that nervousness until you are for sure it is gone."
Before she started chemotherapy, tests were run to see if she could handle it. Stillwell said no cancer showed up then in her lymph nodes, so the family is confident she will be fine with this test. It will take up to 14 days to receive results.
Life has changed in the last seven months. Stillwell said living with cancer has become "normalcy" for her and her family.
She only recently returned to work as a teaching assistant at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School because there were so many students absent with the flu she couldn't risk getting sick.
Getting back to work and with many of her strongest supporters — students and staff — has been a nice remedy for her.
"The journey that I have been on has been mentally and physically draining at times," she said. "The Lord is with you as you go in valleys and he is with you on the mountaintop."
Since her final chemotherapy treatment Jan. 31, there has, in some ways, been a void in her life.
"It was our Thursday thing to do. I didn't comprehend how much chemo can beat your body up until I've had this break from it," she said. "That last chemo was the grandest thing."
Should no radiation be required, Stillwell will return in six months to be examined and tested again. If she is cancer free, she will have visits once a year for the next five years.
A week from now, the Stillwells will be playing the waiting and wondering game again.
"I'm human, of course it is in the back of my mind if it is all gone," she said. "It's a mind thing. What if they didn't get all the cancer or did not get it in time?
"From Sept. 13 on, it (the tumor) gradually kept shrinking and has responded well," she said.
She expects to be off work for about a week.
"I plan to come back to work and see my little friends here and my big friends here, too," she said. "They are a big support for me and that means everything."

Mary Jane Stillwell is a married mother of three who loves to spend time with her family. She works as an instructional assistant at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School in Hodgenville.

Side dishes are extremely important for Thanksgiving Day. Vegetables and the infinite ways to prepare them are all the rage these days, so why stop on Turkey Day.
Let's be inventive, not just with preparation of vegetables and fruits (cranberry sauce counts), but with the types of fruits and veggies used.
In this story out of the New York Times, we're shown several different approaches to the traditional Thanksgiving side.
I'd personally be thankful for roasted squash, brussels sprouts and even something hidden deep in the story...kimchi.
Kimchi is a fermented cabbage dish traditional in Korea. But kimchi can also be made with Napa cabbage, radishes, scallions or cucumbers.
It's the kind of spicy and healthy dish that could liven up the normal hum-drum of your Thanksgiving spread.

The risks and opportunities for carbon reduction strategies for the automobile industry are considerable and warrant particular attention from investors.
SocialFunds.com -- On January 26, President Obama issued two orders that would require more stringent fuel efficiency standards for new cars and light trucks. In one, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was directed to consider granting states waivers to set their own emissions standards, which are in several cases stricter than proposed federal standards. California, for example, has passed a mandate that requires a 30% decrease in tailpipe emissions. In the other order, Obama instructed the Transportation Department to provide interim targets for mileage standards starting in 2012 to ensure that new vehicles reach a goal of 35 miles per gallon by 2020. Citing these and other new regulatory pressures, institutional investors released new climate disclosure guidelines for the auto industry that call on car manufacturers to strengthen their reporting on the risks and opportunities presented by climate change. The report finds that companies in the auto industry have provided inadequate data on climate change, making it difficult for investors to assess the risks and opportunities posed by climate change policy to individual auto companies. According to the report, investors require strategic overviews of long-term strategies for increasing fuel economy and reducing emissions, and quantitative data on emissions and development of clean technologies. The transport sector is one of the greatest emitters of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for 18% of all carbon emissions worldwide. Noting that new climate regulations and customer demand will increasingly have an impact on companies in the auto sector, the report encourages companies to disclose information on emissions using existing communication channels. These channels include Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) reporting, Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) responses, financial reports, sustainability reports, analyst briefings, and mandatory reports to securities regulators such as the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The new reporting framework was developed by the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) in Europe, the Investor Group on Climate Change Australia/New Zealand (IGCC), and Ceres in the US. Ceres, a national network of investors, environmental organizations and other public interest groups, manages the Investor Network on Climate Risk (INCR), a $7 trillion network of investors that promotes better understanding of the financial risks and opportunities posed by climate change.
