tim.,” wrote OSBI in a press
release.
The female’s identity remains
unknown. Her cause of death is
also unknown.
OSBI Forensic Artist Harvey
Pratt has reconstructed her skull,
hoping someone will recognize
her.
The medical examiner’s office
has determined the female is
between 18 and 35-years-old,
but most likely in her mid 20s.
She stood between 4’8” and
5’3” tall. They also determined
she is possibly of African-
American decent. She was
found wearing a unique earring.
The body was badly decom-
posed when found. Doctors
believe she was likely dead up to
several weeks before being
found.
If the reconstruction looks
similar to someone you have not
seen or heard from in approxi-
mately a year, please contact the
OSBI at 1-800-522-8017.

Senate panel votes to
reverse income tax cut: In a
surprise move Tuesday, a Senate
committee cleared a bill that
would reverse a 0.25 cut in the
state income tax rate. Gov.
Mary Fallin, Senate President
Pro Tem Brian Bingman and
House Speaker Jeff Hickman
have all expressed opposition to
the move. But Sen. Mike
Mazzei, who authored the bill,
said it's the single biggest thing
the Legislature can do to begin
to make up a $1.3 billion rev-
enue shortfall.
After News Stories,
Lawmaker Kills High-Interest
Loan Bill: In the wake of news
coverage, an Oklahoma lawmak-
er is pulling a bill that created a
new type of loan charging thou-
sands of dollars in interest to
Oklahoma’s poorest residents.
The bill was an attempt to avoid
pending federal regulation. The
bill, written by Sen. David Holt,
R-Oklahoma City, would have
allow companies to lend up to
$3,000 to residents with interest
capped at 20 percent per month.
Interest alone could balloon to at
least $6,000 during the life of
the loan. Holt announced on
Twitter Tuesday he was pulling
the bill because it does not have
enough support to pass the
Senate.
Bill passes education com-
mittee to eliminate high

the works for Oklahoma high
school students. One lawmaker
is wanting to toss out those end-
of-instruction exams required
for graduation. “The high stakes
we put on them has really
drained the joy out of the job,
and they are frustrated by that,”
said Katherine Bishop, vice
president of the Oklahoma
Education Association. A frus-
tration that could set students up
for failure, Bishop said, due to
an overload of exams.
Oklahoma thinks the
unthinkable with health care
cuts: Should Oklahoma strip
Medicaid health care coverage
from people least able to afford
insurance on their own? In a
state that trails most of the
nation in uninsured rates and
health outcomes, who could
defend this? Should the
Department of Mental Health
and Substance Abuse Services
no longer cover mental health
services provided to children
with mental illness by therapists
in individual practice? When
less than 40 percent of children
with a major depressive episode
received treatment in the past
year, how could such a move
even be on the table?

OKLAHOMA SUPREME COUR T
Upholds State Law Prohibiting Off-Label
Use of Drugs for Abortions
The Oklahoma Supreme
Court on Tuesday upheld a law
that requires abortion clinics to
prescribe abortion-inducing
drugs only in accordance with
the FDA-approved label.
The decision by the court
upholds HB 2684, passed by the
Oklahoma Legislature in 2014
to prohibit the off-label use of
drugs to perform abortions. The
law’s purpose was to end
Oklahoma abortion providers’
continued practice of using off-
label methods of abortion induc-
ing drugs like mifepristone, also
known as RU-486, despite safe-
ty warnings from the FDA that
followed the deaths of several
women who received abortions
using off-label protocols.
“I am pleased the Oklahoma
Established in 1927
FACSIMILE (405) 542-3120
Supreme Court has chosen to
uphold HB 2684,” Attorney
General Pruitt said. “The off-
label use of abortion-inducing
drugs has resulted in catastroph-
ic consequences for women
nationwide, and I appreciate the
Oklahoma Legislature’s efforts
to protect the health and safety
of Oklahoma women over the
interests of the abortion indus-
try.”
The decision reverses a lower
court ruling the law unconstitu-
tional. Laws similar to HB 2684
have also been upheld by federal
appeals courts in Texas and
Ohio.
The Oklahoma Supreme
Court also issued an opinion in
Heath v. Guardian Interlock
Systems, in which the AG’s
thegearystar.com
Office submitted an amicus brief
asking the court to uphold the
lower court decision allowing
for the non-maintenance fees of
court-mandated interlock
devices to exceed the $25 maxi-
mum that is allowed for mainte-
nance fees.
The Court’s decision agreed
with the Attorney General’s
Office, allowing for fees other
than maintenance fees to exceed
the $25 maximum that applies
to maintenance fees in the law
regulating interlock devices.
Interlock devices are installed
in the vehicles of those convict-
ed of driving while intoxicated
and prevent future drunk driving
by disabling the vehicle if the
driver fails to pass the device’s
sobriety test.

a voter’s registration informa-
tion.
Then, the Board issues all the

Trey Thomason looks at
Hinton with a positive outlook,
not only from way back when,
but moving forward.
“Hinton has so much appeal,”
said Thomason, who will bring
primary care to Hinton and
North Caddo County.
With Dr. Thomason not only
growing up here, but having
roots that go back generations,
this was an easy choice.
“Hinton has so many things
going for it,” said Thomason.
“With investing in it’s schools
over the last several years and
now obtaining new medical
facilities, Hinton is building a
solid foundation for years to
come.”
Thomason’s goals of estab-
lishing a clinic in Hinton are
multifaceted.
“Foremost, is to provide the
HEALTH February 25, 2016 - 9
highest standard of primary care
to Hinton and the surrounding
communities,” said Thomason.
He brings a specialty training
in both Internal Medicine for
adults and Pediatrics for child
and adolescent medicine.
Dr. Thomason attended the
University of Oklahoma where
he received his bachelor of sci-
ence degree in
Zoology/Biomedical Sciences.
He made the President's and
Dean's honor roll on multiple
occasions. He graduated from
OU with distinction and then
matriculated into medical school
at Oklahoma State University
College of Osteopathic
Medicine in Tulsa, OK.
In addition to studying medi-
cine, he became very involved
beginning with being voted

of medical school.
He attended several advocacy

Op-Ed: Let's Invest in Calumet Public Works
our Teachers and Schools
by Shawn Sheehan
This week a citizen-led move-
ment begins in earnest.
Education advocates will be out
canvassing our communities
with petitions and pens in hand.
They will urge Oklahomans to
sign a petition that will give us
the chance to invest a penny in
our teachers and schools to fund
a comprehensive solution plan
to reverse our state’s nose dive
to dead last in education fund-
ing.
As Oklahoma’s Teacher of
the Year, I am proud and excit-
ed to support this measure.
Later this month I will have the
honor of traveling to
Washington, D.C. as one of four
finalists for national teacher of
the year, where I will share my
experiences as an Oklahoma
educator. My message will
continue to center on what a joy
and privilege it is to teach my
students.
I have carried this encourage-
ment to other teachers across
our state and to college students
considering a career in educa-
tion. I have counseled col-
leagues to not just listen to neg-
ative noise about the challenges
facing our schools and profes-
sion. Rather, listen to their stu-
dents. I encourage them to hold
onto the joy of when that one
child understands an algebra
equation for the first time or
reads out loud for the first time.
I have sought to assure future
teachers of the nobility of the
profession we share.
Today, I ask all Oklahomans
to join me in spreading this
hopeful message with their sig-
nature and, ultimately, their
vote. By signing the petition to
support a penny investment in
public education, Oklahomans
can provide targeted invest-
ments to many of our schools’

go to provide all teachers a
$5,000 pay raise and address
the shortage of teachers in Celebrating National FFA Week!
Oklahoma. The remaining
funds will be used to improve
reading and high school gradua-
tion rates, offer enhanced access
to pre-kindergarten, make col-
lege tuition more affordable and
expand vocational education.
None of the funds can be used
to increase superintendent
salaries.
Time is of the essence.
Teachers have not had a pay
raise in more than 10 years, and
our education system has
endured the largest cuts in the
nation since 2008.
Our children need us. Our
teachers need us. They need our
leadership. The crisis is severe
enough that only the people of
Oklahoma can solve this now.
The best and only option on the
table that fully addresses the
education funding crisis is this
ballot measure. I urge all
Oklahomans to visit
OkChildrenOurFuture.org today
and pledge your support.

Seeds of Hope
Have you ever met someone
who did not like their name?
Perhaps it reminded them of a
person who disturbed them in
one way or another. Or it may
have represented something that
was offensive to them. Maybe it
“sounded” like a girl’s name or a
boy’s name or a sissy’s name.
Then we are occasionally
“given” names by the way we
act or what we do or even how
we look.
David knew there was some-
thing unique and special about a
name that was above every
other name. He knew that there
was one name that represented
the solution for the problems of
mankind. He understood the
significance of that name. He
knew that the road for man to
recover from the fall - from
destruction and death to happi-
ness and heaven - was in that
name.
“Save me, O God, by Your
Beulah Land Church of God & Christ
name; vindicate me by Your
might.” In asking God to save
him, David wanted God to deliv-
er him from his sinful condition
- even though the Savior had not
come and completed His work
on the cross. He was well aware
of his sins and shortcomings
and knew that there was nothing
he could do to rescue or redeem
himself. Only a gracious God
who had rescued His children
from times of destruction and
death in the past could do the
same for him in the present. He
knew God’s power from His
story in the past as He brought
His children to their Promised
Wednesday “iStep Students Ministries” @
Land.
When David called on God’s
name in prayer, he brought God
into that moment in his life. He
needed God to be with him, hear
him, save him and deliver him.

As we continue through the ly and focus on our time of wor-

Lenten Season of the Church
Year, we are reminded of the
beginning of Jesus' ministry.
He started out with the
words..."Repent, for the king-
dom of heaven is near."
(Matthew 4:17). This was one
of the shortest Sermons ever
preached, and it was shared
from the lips of our Lord.
Just what do we mean by the
word repent? It means we are
sorry for our sins, and we can
say this openly to our Lord
Jesus. We so often think of giv-
ing something up for Lent, when
our Lord really wants us. Self
denial brings this into sharp
focus, as we offer more prayers,
read the Scriptures more intent-
ship at Church.
Are we as close to the Lord as
we should be?
Praying with an open heart is
a start. We need to pray for our
leadership, our Pastor or Priest.
Then we should pray for our
Nation of America.
We are going through rough
times and the Bible asks us to
remember our leaders. Do not
curse them, but support them
with love and appreciation. This
means, when we are praying for
people we might know, we are wholesome feeling between our-
showing support and encour- selves and the Lord. Ask Him in,
agement we did not have before, and He will not disappoint you.
and we are drawing nearer to Start right now. It's never too
our God. late to pray.
Repenting means gaining a Pastor Al Trucano, retired
