The Altus High Bulldogs used some good defense and spe- cial teams play to defeat the Vernon Lions 13-6 here on Friday night. It was especially sweet for Chad Stone who was on the side- lines for the first time as head coach for the Bulldogs. “Getting that first win is usual- ly always the hardest,” Stone said. “I knew they (Vernon) would play us well. It was the defense and special teams that highlighted the Altus victory. In fact, it was the special teams that had a part in all three of Altus’ scores. Senior linebacker Dom Nortonen intercepted a pass and returned it 40 yards to the Vernon 20 yard line. Altus could not get anything going offensively. Junior kicker Michael Perez came on and drilled a 32-yard field goal with 5:46 left in the first quarter. That lead was short lived however. Vernon’s David Garza picked off a pass and returned it 52 yards for a touchdown giving the Lions a 6-3 lead with 3:12 left in the first period. Stone was quick to defend quarterback Brantley Ford, saying Altus Times photos the throw wasn’t his fault.

232401 240820 12A • ALTUS TIMES SUNDAY, SEPT. 4, 2011 Labor Day 2011 from U.S. Census data Even though it's recognized as the official end of summer, it's not just another day to play. Labor Day celebrates the efforts of those who helped earn labor laws for our jobs.

The first observance of Labor Day is believed to have been a parade of 10,000 workers on Sept. 5, 1882, in New York City, organized by Peter J. McGuire, a Carpenters and Joiners Union secretary. By 1893, more than half the states were observing “Labor Day” on one day or another, and Congress passed a bill to establish a federal holiday in 1894. President Grover Cleveland signed the bill soon afterward, designating the first Monday in September as Labor Day.

Who Are We Celebrating? 153.2 million That's the number of people 16 and older in the nation’s labor force in July 2011.

Morgan Peccia graduates from proton therapy for brain tumor These are Morgan Peccia's classmates in Mrs. Boaldin's 2nd grade class at Rivers Elementary. This photo was taken on Thursday, Sept. 1, Morgan’s first day back to school from proton therapy for a brain tumor. Morgan, daughter of Col. James and Sarah Peccia, is pictured in the middle holding the stuffed monkey, front row, fifth from the left. Her monkey has been attending school for her. Morgan is partici- pating in the "There's a Monkey in my Chair" program through the Love, Chloe Foundation. Morgan was the 486th patient to graduate from the ProCure Proton Therapy Center in Oklahoma City. Proton therapy offers precise radi- ation therapy without exposing healthy brain tissue to the radiation. Morgan's cranio pharyngioma was discovered June 2. Sarah Peccia said Morgan's brain tumor is benign, meaning it would not spread to other parts of the body. The tumor was beginning to cause swelling in Morgan's brain. She had surgery to remove all the tumor that could be safely removed. She then underwent proton therapy from July 18 to August 30 at ProCure's facility to destroy the remainder. Col. James Peccia III, Altus AFB 97 Mission Support Group commander had help from his father in taking care of Morgan's little four- year-old brother, who just started Pre-K at Rivers.
