WASHINGTON – Members of the Oklahoma delegation returned to Capitol Hill Tuesday to cast their first votes since the August break ended. But as the members filed into the House chamber, one key Oklahoma voice was missing.
Rather than walking the halls of the Capitol, Congressman Frank Lucas was at his ranch near Cheyenne, 150 miles west of Oklahoma City, recovering from a recent surgery.

Losing games to weather is not the perfect scenario for teams entering the latter stages of their season.
However, the rain this past week which forced the cancellation of at least one game for El Reno High School’s fast-pitch softball team has given the Indians some much-needed rest.
“We’ve had some good practices so it didn’t hurt us, especially after four games over the weekend in which we didn’t play very well.
El Reno High School’s volleyball team continues to play opponents tough but is struggling to turn the efforts into marks in the win column.
The Indians slipped to 3-10 on the season after dropping four matches in the recent Noble Invitational, winning one game off the host school en route to a 2-1 defeat.
The other losses were to Lawton MacArthur, ranked seventh in Class 5A, by scores of 25-15/25-14, and fourth-ranked Claremore 25-16/25-13. El Reno dropped a 25-12/25-18 match to Amber-Pocasset.
Redlands Community College women’s soccer team began the first of a three-game set against opponents holding the top four positions in the latest NJCAA Region 2 standings with a 6-0 setback to Murray State College.
The Aggies are second in the league and the loss to MSC dropped Redlands to 1-5 on the season and 1-4 in the Region 2 standings – which is seventh.
The Cougars were held to two shots in the loss, one each from Carlie Golden and Jaidyn Gonzalez.
Morgan Brothers belted out two extra base hits and drove in four runs as Union City High School’s fast-pitch softball team snapped a six-game losing streak with a 20-10 win over cross-county rival Calumet.
The win lifted the Tigers to 5-12 on the season.
Brothers logged a double and a triple and scored three times in the win after reaching base two more times via walks. Union City had eight hits in the win including a double from Kamryn Cook.
Lily Russell, Trestan Sutton, Skylar Morgan, Payslie Locke and Juliana Pappe added a single each.
It took a trip to Edmond and a turf stadium for Union City High School’s baseball team to beat the rain and get back into the win column with a 15-5 decision over Oklahoma Christian Academy.
Playing at Oklahoma Christian University’s Dobson Field, Union City took advantage of 13 walks and multiple hits from Rocky Carroll and Korbin Cook to improve to 13-8 on the season.
The Tigers dropped out of the top 20 in the latest Class A poll for the second time in three weeks, falling to 22nd despite winning two of its last three games.
