THE PHOENIX - This mythical bird is the alchemical symbol of rebirth through fire. The phoenix, sometimes known as the fire bird, sets itself on fire every 500 years, dies in the flames, and then rises again from the ashes. In medieval legend, the phoenix lives in ARABIA but flies to EGYPT, the home of alchemy, to undergo its ritual death and regeneration. Here it cradles the all-powerful elements of fire and water under its wings.

MEDICIS BEHIND SOME OF WORLD'S GREATES ART
Some of the brightes moments of the Renaissance, and some of its darker intrigues, are owned to a powerful ITALIAN FAMILY, the Medicis. Neither sculptors nor painters, they were wealthy BANKERS AND POLITICIANS who commissioned some of the greatest artworks in history. The Medicis RULED FLORENCE for much of the 15th through 18th centuries, and two Renaissance popes ---- Leo X and Clement VII, belonged to the family. One standout in the family is Lorenzo de' Medici (1449-92). Called Lorenzo the Magnificent, he was a scholar, gifted poet and a shrewd statesman who managed to survive assassination plots and avert wars between FLORENCE and the cities of NAPLES and VOLTERRA, Lorenzo built libraries and supported artists and poets, including Michelangelo and Botticelli. Unfortunately, his business sense was not as keen as his political skills or artistic acumen. He mismanaged the family's BANKING BUSINESS, and it never recovered.

Harrison Thomas 1319 Georgetown Muskogee, Ok 74403
Dear Mr. Thomas:
As promised, the information you gave me has been reviewed by the staff. However, I regret to tell you that this office will not be able to represent you in your proposed lawsuit over your MOTHER'S PROPERTY.
Because we have a very small legal staff, we cannot accept all of the applications we receive. This office is required to consider acceptance of cases according to the priorities set up by our BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
The highest priority cases must be accepted first. The highest priorities are the "basic necessities of life" such a shelter, medical care, food, income, and freedom from physical abuse. The type of assistance you are requesting is not ordinarily a high priority case so thiss office is unable to assist you other than giving you the legal advice you have already receivedand the writing of a letter to the BUYER as you and I discussed this morning.
A copy of that letter is enclosed. This letter merely puts MR. SELF ON "NOTICE" of your allegations as to your SISTER, KATHY. It does not, however, give anyone else notice that there is a PROBLEM with the last DEED because as the COUNTY CLERK'S RECORDS STAND NOW, it appears that your MOTHER SIGNED THE DEED.
Although there are several methods to attack this PROBLEM, you should consider filing a PROBATE of your MOTHER'S ESTATE. Then, within that case the issue of the DEED could be addressed. If you and the heirs pooled your money, then none of you would be struck with the entire attorney fee. However, you need to consider the cost of such a lawsuit ans whether or not they outweigh the possible return to each of you.
At this point, you can't even go to SMALL CLAIMS COURT and sue your SISTER for your "SHARE" of the profit on the sale of the house because before the PROBATE COURT determines who the HEIRS ARE, you just have the expectancy of becoming an HEIR. If your MOTHER dies without a WILL, then under OKLAHOMA LAW her surviving SPOUSE AND CHILDREN would be HEIRS however.
THOMAS LETTER, JUNE 16, 1997 PAGE 2 OF 2

If you have any questions about this decision, please feel free to contact the MANAGING ATTORNEY, LEOLA SCHUMACHER at (918)-683-5681 or 1-800-725-5681.
If this office can be of any other assistance to you, pleas feal free to recontact us. I hope this information has been helpful to you.
Sincerely,
**Harriet H. Harding** Attorney At Law

The East 33 1/3 Feet of Lot 5 Block 122 J. R. Settle, Special District Judge Jake Simmons knows Mentally ill overload judicial system Mental Health Act of 1983 Mental health court could ease burden By D.E. Smoot Phoenix Staff Writer Dealing with people who struggle with mental health problems in the criminal justice system is a problem that continues to grow but gets little attention from state leaders. State mental health professionals say county jails and state prisons have become, by default, wards for people who struggle with emotional and mental health issues. The problem strains budgets and causes headaches for those charged with protecting the inmates while incarcerated and the public after the inmates are released. In May, an Ottawa County deputy left a woman handcuffed to the gates outside the Oklahoma Forensic Center. The Vinita facility, a hospital that holds and treats people with mental illness deemed incompetent to stand trial, had no available beds. The deputy�s actions are indicative of a problem quickly spinning out of control. According to the Department of Corrections Mental Health Services division, 36 percent of the 23,700 inmates incarcerated in June 2005 � or 8,550 inmates � had a history of mental illness or were exhibiting symptoms associated with mental health problems. About 5,100 of those prisoners, or 22 percent of the prison population, were considered seriously impaired by mental illness. It�s deplorable,� Muskogee County District Judge Tom Alford said about the way the state deals with mental health issues. �Normally when a person is found incompetent to stand trial they can be held in a secure facility until competency can be restored.� But Alford said it has been several years since normalcy existed. He said the closing of Eastern State Hospital, which was approved by Gov. Frank Keating in 1999 and accomplished in 2001, gummed up the process. He said those who are deemed incompetent now can sit in jail for months waiting for a spot to open up at the Oklahoma Forensic Center which regularly keeps its 190 beds filled. Without anyplace to go, the defendants eventually are released � only to be shuffled back into jail later. Closing Eastern State Hospital was supposed to be accompanied by a shift of funding toward community-based treatment facilities. The funding has yet to materialize, and county jail administrators and courts are shouldering the burden of having to deal with those who spilled out of the mental health facility � and others like it � onto the streets of communities across the state. Mental health Courts could be an answer ADVERTISEMENT According to a report published in February 2005 by the Governor�s and Attorney General�s Blue Ribbon Task Force on Mental Health, Substance Abuse and Domestic Violence, the state�s criminal justice system spends more than $630 million per year� 63 percent of its annual budget � addressing the needs of people with mental health or substance abuse problems. The task force recognized that treating mental health problems within the criminal justice system is not the most cost-effective way to deal with those who have mental health or substance abuse problems. The task force recommended expanding and appropriately staffing therapeutic-model courts for those with mental health problems. The so-called mental health court, which would be operated similar to the drug courts, would divert offenders from jail and prison toward community supervision programs that provide appropriate treatment. Three mental health courts � authorized by legislation passed in 2002 � exist in the state today. The Oklahoma County mental health court, began in operating in 2002 and was awarded a $150,000 federal grant. A year and a half after the program was started, according to one report, officials estimated the court was saving the county $15,000 a year for every defendant who went to treatment instead of serving time in jail. Many resources exist in Muskogee Joy Sloan, clinical director at Green Country Behavioral Services, said what some see as a mental health crisis is not just a concern for jails, it is a dilemma with which mental health facilities are struggling. She said while there are many people who struggle with mental health issues in jail who probably shouldn�t be, there are those people who do seek help that need to be in a secure environment. Do I think jail is the best place for them to be?� Sloan said. �Absolutely not.� Sloan said there has been some discussion of establishing a mental health court in Muskogee County. She said laws that bar those who have been charged with a crime from being treated in an unsecured treatment facility need to be changed. Sloan said a mental health court that would allow the diversion of non-violent offenders from jails into community treatment programs. That, she said, would go a long way toward easing the problems sheriffs are dealing with today. She said services necessary for an effective mental health court exist in Muskogee County today. We have a lot of resources,� Sloan said. �But we�re so fragmented, we just need to find a way to work together.� Alford, too, sees potential of a mental health court, but says finding the resources could prove difficult. Maybe there�s some federal grant money out there,� Alford said. �The county doesn�t have it, and the state won�t give it to us. But if providers like Green Country can get creative, we might be able to come up with something that works.� C.E. �Sonny� Scroggins, a civil and human rights activist of 37 years who grew up in Checotah, said the plight of the mentally ill needs to be brought to the attention of the public. The government, instead of stepping up, has stepped down and emptied the hospitals that have been closed,� Scroggins said. �A society is known by how it treats its less fortunate: We need to be more humane and show more mercy to those who have mental health problems.� Reach D.E.
