Runic expert to speak at chamber lunch
Dr. Henrik Williams, a professor in
Scandinavian languages at Uppsala
University in Sweden will be the
guest speaker at a Poteau Chamber of
Commerce luncheon. Williams is a
philologist, teaching and doing
research in runology, Old Swedish
and Old Icelandic.
Williams has authored numerous
scholarly papers in both Swedish and
English and published a variety of
pieces including a book on the language of the Viking-age Swedish
runestones, an edition of the Old
Swedish romance Haerra Ivan and
major articles on the conversion of
Sweden.
Recently, he was awarded the Rudbeck medal for his ground-breaking
work in runology.
Did Scandinavian traders explore
America and Oklahoma long before
Columbus sailed the ocean blue? Williams will discuss this possibility at
the Donald W. Reynolds Center during the lunch on April 29.
Williams will examine stones in
Heavener and Poteau before the
lunch. He will measure the runic letters, take photographs and try to
determine how they were chiseled
into the stone. He also will examine
the two stones for less apparent markings.
Lunch will include a Power Point
presentation that shows significant
examples of runes. In Sweden he has

to the Rolling Stone lesson: Tracking
down facts does matter — a lot
EDITOR
Dear Editor,
Here we go again trying to degrade what is a very good
911 system with Pocola trying to do what Pocola usually
tries to do, which is their own thing.
Why should anyone allow an existing party to the
county 911 system pull out just so they can say they have
their own system. Why not fully back and participate in
the county system rather than take vitally needed funds
to, in their words, “upgrade” their system which could
take five or more years to achieve. From the beginning of
our countywide system and that is what we voted on
overwhelmingly in 1999 — a countywide system (which
by the way includes Pocola), it was planned to be a centralized location receiving calls then transmitting that
information to the respective jurisdictions in a manner
very similar to what the majority of 911 systems do
across our state and country. Why duplicate services, that
will only cost Pocola more money in the long run and
dilute what has become a successful system? It makes no
sense.
Another question that begs to be answered is how will
anyone be able to keep track of where a cellular user
resides in six months? We have a mobile society and who
lives in Pocola today may very well move to Barling,
Ark., next month, yet keep that address. This alone should
be cause to pause. Another vital issue with any 911 system is the ever increasing reliance on cellular over land
line (wired) connections which was supposed to be the
main source of revenue for 911 centers in the late 1990s.
Those land lines are going away daily and our system,
like everyone else’s, rely on that small 50-cent surcharge
of its cellular users and every system is facing shortfalls.
Has our system had problems? Yes it has and they are
continually trying to upgrade and avoid making those
mistakes in the future. Our county system was based on
giving callers pre-arrival instructions and asking script
driven questions to better prepare our responders before
they arrive and this includes firefighters, which is not the
case with every 911 center. The bottom line is simple
from this 40-year emergency services provider — unification not duplication.
I challenge all jurisdictions to work with the county
911 trust and not try to pull it apart just to have a freestanding center that would be more than 10 years behind
in current service capability.

An old slam on tabloid journalism was that its best practitioners “never let the facts get in the way of a good story.”
Thanks to Rolling Stone magazine’s abject retraction of a
2014 article, “A Rape on Campus,” we now are offered a
new twist on that old saw — never let a lack of facts get in
the way, either.
A critique of the article by a three-person team from the
Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, commissioned
and released by Rolling Stone itself, boils down to this: The
magazine’s editors and the reporter on the story failed to
perform the most basic journalistic task — essentially, to
verify and present factual information.
The report relentlessly documents the magazine’s failure
to follow “basic, even routine journalistic practice” — a
failure that “encompassed reporting, editing, editorial supervision and fact-checking.”
And it says that “the story’s blowup comes as another
shock to journalism’s credibility amid head-swiveling
change in the media industry. The particulars of Rolling
Stone’s failure make clear the need for a revitalized consensus about what best journalistic practices entail, at an operating-manual level of detail.”
Let’s parse those observations. Failure to follow the
basics — check. Another shocking assault on journalism’s
credibility — check. A need to revisit and reinforce best
journalistic practices — double check. And there’s ample
evidence of “head-swiveling change.” No need to even
“check” that.
But there are even larger concerns raised by the nearly
13,000-word Columbia J-school report — a document longer, The New York Times quickly noted, than the original
9,000-word article.
Clearly, in a drive for the kind of sensational “narrative”
account that Rolling Stone and a host of other news operations require, the magazine tossed aside long-validated
newsgathering approaches that would have conflicted, complicated, and perhaps eviscerated, the kind of account they
intended to get and eventually published.
There has been no lack of reports for some time about the
problem of under-reported campus sexual assaults and sexual violence, and complaints about non-responsive or insensitive college officials. And the report concludes that “the
responsibilities that universities have in preventing campus
sexual assault ... are important matters of public interest.
Rolling Stone was right to take them on.”
But in a journalism world increasingly defined and validated by a collection of “clicks” and “hits” and algorithmic
formulas, was it the need to ramp up the drama, to boost the
hype, search out what the report called the “single, emblematic college rape case” that ultimately teased these heretofore
solid journalists to betray a core obligation to their readers?
The report touches on that idea, in noting that “’A Rape
on Campus’ had ambitions beyond recounting one woman’s
assault.” It says that “the magazine set aside or rationalized
as unnecessary essential practices that, if pursued, likely
would have led the magazine’s editors to reconsider publish-
Guest Column
Gene Policinsky
ing Jackie’s narrative so prominently, if at all. The published
story glossed over the gaps in the magazine’s reporting by
using pseudonyms and by failing to state where important
information had come from.”
Narrative journalism is a form of news reporting that aims
to go beyond the “Who, What, When, Where, Why and
How” basic recitation of facts to engage readers in storytelling that attracts, entices and perhaps even enthralls, as it
reports.
While such a narrative approach has become the accepted
wisdom of 21st century news media gurus seeking the key
to rebuilding audiences, its roots were firmly set a century
ago, by the so-called “muckrakers” of the Progressive Era of
the early 1900s.
McClure’s magazine grabbed the nation’s attention by its
riveting reports that investigated official corruption, documented high-level financial shenanigans and that exposed
horrific business practices — all based on a storytelling format buttressed by what one historian called “overwhelming
facts.” Journalists, including Lincoln Stephens, Ida Tarbell
and Upton Sinclair, wrote compelling accounts that inspired
antitrust laws, led to criminal indictments and demanded
new laws on public health and safety.
One historian of the period says McClure’s success was
due to its reliance on “overwhelming facts” presented in the
format of a short-story. Other experts note that as with
Rolling Stone’s style, there was no less a point-of-view in the
muckrakers’ work — they cared less about objectivity than
they did firmly documenting the ills they found through
extensive, thorough investigation.
Compare those assessments with the follow up report’s
documentation of Rolling Stone’s over-reliance on a single
source, whose principal contribution to the retracted article
now appears to have been a story that was too good not to
use — or even seriously question.
The Columbia team’s report noted that “there is a tension
in magazine and narrative editing between crafting a readable story ... it can be clunky and disruptive to write ‘she
said’ over and over. There should be room in magazine journalism for diverse narrative voicing — if the underlying
reporting is solid.”
That’s as good a definition as possible on the difference
between “raking muck” and just stirring it up.

To kill or not to kill a bill
There are times while
serving on a legislative
committee that I am proud
of what we have studied,
debated and passed on to
another committee or the
full House for further consideration.
However, there are times
when I have taken greater
pride in taking part in “killing” a bill which would
create numerous unintended
consequences.
There were two such
bills the third week of our
hearing bills that had passed
out of the Senate.
The first of these was SB
504 with the House author
being Rep. Jason Nelson,
R-Oklahoma City, which
would have authorized state
tax dollars dedicated to the
Oklahoma Higher Learning
Access Program or OHLAP
to go to private, online,
competency-based higher
education programs.
The author was asked to
name the institutions that
offer these programs and
those listed operated outside of our state boundaries.
In questioning, Nelson
could not indicate what the
fiscal impact would be if
this became law. Currently
this program is used for
students attending traditional state higher education
institutions.
This bill failed to even
get a motion to be voted
upon to be advanced from
that committee.
Secondly, Rep. Scott
Biggs, R-Chickasha, presented SB 301 which passed
out of the Senate and was
being heard in Education
A&B.
This bill would have
assigned a Regional accreditation officer who is
assigned to the State
Department of Education to
receive law enforcement
training, CLEET certification and then be assigned to
the State Board of Education
with the singular responsibility of investigating
reports of “illegal” activities on the part of any school
employee.
The problem is that
RAOs have enormous
amount of responsibilities
relating to the district’s
accreditation and compliance with existing state
laws. Currently, if there is
any evidence of such illegal
activities and with a specific
focus on sexual misconduct,
it is directed to the local
district. This proposed legislation seemed to be
designed to label our schools
as being “out of control in
this specific area of criminality” that the schools and
leaders have “their heads
buried in the sand.”
Having spent years in
education I know this is a
bogus attack as a means of
undermining the authority
and integrity of our state
superintendent of education. It is a real shame that
these legislators who lack
any experience in public
education are so committed
to attacking public education in this manner. Thank
goodness this bill died in
Committee because it failed

required to receive an up or
down vote. The Senate
author said on an Oklahoma
City TV news report that he
would find a way to get it
re-considered.
The
Education
Appropriations and Budget
Subcommittee met to consider Senate Bill 29 by Rep.
Lee Denney, which would
provide some flexibility to
those teachers whose certification may have expired
but were not notified by the
State
Department
of
Education. This would
require written notification
by Oct. 1 of any license or
certificate that expired as of
June 30 of the same year.
This is sent to the last known
address of the holder of the
certificate and to the last
known employing school
district. In part this is
designed to help address the
ever increasing teacher
shortage in our state.
This passed by a vote of
nine to zero and is now on
the floor calendar.
Another bill I found
myself voting no on was SB
505 by Nelson of the House.
This passed on a vote of
seven to two and when it
went
to
the
full
Appropriations and Budget
it barely made it out by a
14-to-10 vote.
If it passes the full House
and is signed by the gover-
nor, it will create a revolving fund for statewide virtual charter schools. This
would bypass the State
Department of Education
and send state revenue
directly to be used in the
promotion of virtual charter
schools across the state. At
the time this column is
being written this bill is also
on the floor calendar.
As this ninth week of
session comes to a close
and we have considered all
the Senate bills, we will
begin addressing proposed
legislation that has had title
or emergency clause stricken and sent to a conference
committee. The purpose of
this step in the legislative
process is to correct any
language issues. These
committees are staffed by
representatives with significant levels of expertise on
statutory titles under which
the bills are written.

Don't fall in love with just one club
I've played in many tournaments and pro-ams, and one
thing I often see is players using only one club to chip or
pitch the ball around the green.
Don't fall in love with one club and try to fit that club to
every shot. Let the shot dictate which club to use.
My theory is to get the ball on the green as soon as
possible and roll it to the hole. You have a much better
chance of rolling the ball into the hole the closer you are
to the pin.
If you're five yards off the green and the pin is 40 feet
away, try taking an 8- or a 9-iron and hit a lower shot that
will roll the ball to the hold instead of trying to fly the ball
halfway and hoping it stops by the hole.
It's easier to hit a target the closer it is to you. When
you hit a higher “flop” shot, you have to hit the target farther away. Control your spin on the ball, worry about the
bounce and play the break. A lower running shot is played
by having the ball back in your stance with your hands
slightly forward and the majority of your weight on your
front leg. Use a stroke that's similar to your putting stroke,
meaning don't break your wrist during the shot.
Everything
Golf
By Matt Brown
CCC Golf Professional
It's very important that you follow through on your
shots around the green. If you break your wrist or fail to
follow through, it's most likely that you'll “blade” the ball
long or “chunk it” short.
The low-running shot is a more consistent shot that will
result in more ups and downs, and lower your scores.

Tri-State Speedway sees Easter weekend racing
POCOLA — Finally, a week with
no rain, ice or snow! It seems that
Mother Nature has been playing a
round of “How Much Can We Mess
with the New Track Surface” at the
legendary Tri-State Speedway.
For almost every week of the last
12 weeks, there has either been inches of rain, ice or snow on the 350plus dump-truck loads of new clay
that was dumped onto the old racing
surface. As a result of the adverse
weather conditions, the track surface
for the season-opening 36th Annual
Cecil Harlan Memorial Kegger was
not what we would hope or strived to
have.
With a full week of predicted rain
and storms, almost no rain, if any, fell
on the high banks in Pocola. As a result, last weekend’s races started on
time, with a lot fewer cautions from
spins and accidents; a wide, smooth
and fast track; warmer temperatures
and a healthy grandstand crowd that
witnessed a competitive racing program that saw a few repeat winners
from last weekend and some new
winners, as well.
Last weekend also saw the Easter
Bunny make an appearance at intermission with candy for the kids and
free photos. The photos can be picked
up this weekend at the track. Last
weekend’s races and Easter festivities
were sponsored by Menasco Racing
Enterprises.
Results from Saturday night’s action saw two racers make it two in a
row with another three winning their
first feature of the year.
In Pure Stock action, Muskogee's
Dennis Slader notched win No. 2 of
the season, while Cody Collingsworth
of Rudy, Ark., finished second followed by Chris Perkins, also of Rudy.
In the IMCA Sport Modified class,
Aaron Scroggins of Neosho, Mo.,
picked up the A Feature hardware and
check with Todd Broyles of Farmington, Ark., right on his rear bumper and
McAlester's Kayden Menasco finishing in third.
Factory/I Stock action saw Chris
Patterson of Greenwood, Ark., win
his first feature of the season, with
Pocola's Kris Vaughn in second and
defending class champion, Jerome
Heinrich of Huntsville, Ark., in third.
Muskogee's Kyle Slader took home
the win for the first time in 2015 in
the Super Stocks, while Shady Point's
Gene Davlin found the high line late
in the race to finish second ahead of
Neil Johnston of Fort Smith, Ark.
In the IMCA Modifieds, Muskogee's Tate Cole made it 2-for-2 with
his A Feature win as Bixby's Danny
Womack crossed the line in second
ahead of Ponca City's Van Gemmill.
Complete race results, including
heats, and current points can be found
by visiting Tri-State Speedway's website at www.Tri-StateSpeedway.com.
Racing action continues this Saturday night with another round of highoctane, edge-of-your-seat, door-todoor action on the famous high banks
with another night of point racing as
we celebrate 45 consecutive years of
racing in 2015.
The pit gates will open at 4 p.m.,
the grandstands at 5 p.m. and racing is
scheduled to start at 7 p.m.

The Triple
Option
By Phill
Bennetzen
Weighing who's the best
tight ends for Fantasy FB
In the world of economics, some markets are harder
to gauge than others simply because of the wide range of
outcomes within that realm. If the variables offer low or
high production with little-to-no median output, it makes
it (a) tough to evaluate reasonable expectations and (b)
hard to seriously invest in multiple facets of that market.
Essentially, this is what using tight ends on a fantasy
football roster do to teams as fantasy football players.
Fantasy team coaches are forced to extract production
from an unpredictable position in football that gives us a
low “floor” or high “ceiling” of statistical output.
Furthermore, the more investment that's placed into the
tight end position on a team, the more volatile a team will
be. Therefore, let's look at tight ends with the same lenses
we’ve looked at previous positions, and see whose stock
is up, holding or down.
Stock Up
Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots — Although
the Patriots added veteran tight end Scott Chandler in
free agency, the Patriots have shown since Gronkowski’s
rookie season that their offense can support consistent fantasy value for two tight ends. In terms of fantasy points,
Gronkowski was the No. 1 tight end last year. Now that
Jimmy Graham is in Seattle, the gap between Gronkowski and every other tight end has grown larger. Although
Gronkowski is currently being drafted in the first round of
fantasy drafts, the same pick you would spend on an elite
running back or wide receiver, Gronkowski offers production that far exceeds your other options at tight end.
Others Rising — Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs;
Josh Hill, New Orleans Saints.
Stock Holding
Crockett Gillmore, Baltimore Ravens — Opportunity
is king, and this back-up has a great chance of taking over
the Ravens' starting tight end job after veteran Owen Daniels left for Denver in free agency, and Dennis Pitta stands
at a crux over whether to retire after another season ending injury. If the Ravens don’t draft another tight end in
this year’s draft, Gillmore offers great upside at his current draft position.
Others Holding — Jordan Cameron, Miami Dolphins.
Stock Down
Julius Thomas, Jacksonville Jaguars — One of the
toughest decisions for teams signing a free agent is whether their production was a result of the offense they played
in, their opportunity or simply the player’s talent. Also, if
the player’s previous team didn’t re-sign them, then why?
Denver general manager John Elway let Thomas walk
this off-season, and it feels like he realized something the
Jaguars didn’t. Thomas shot out the doors last season with
an amazing 1:5 touchdown-to-catch ratio — a rate simply unsustainable for any player to keep throughout a full
season. So, why wouldn’t Elway want to give such a great
touchdown threat (24 touchdowns the last two seasons)
to quarterback Peyton Manning? Besides, what Thomas
and his agent wanted moneywise, Thomas has yet to play
a full season in his career as well as appearing in only 34
out of a possible 69 games. Thomas is an injured ankle
waiting to happen whose production is way too dependent
on touchdowns. Now that he has Blake Bortles throwing
to him instead of Manning, I expect all of his stats to fall.
Others Falling — Charles Clay, Buffalo Bills.
Next week, I'll address the combination of defenses
and special teams.

Bennetzen on Facebook.
UConn women will be
favorites to win 11th title
next year, beat Irish for
10th title Tuesday night
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) —
Geno Auriemma and his
Connecticut Huskies will
be the leading contenders
to make another championship run next season. It
would be an unprecedented
11th title that would eclipse
John Wooden's UCLA Bruins and their 10 championships.
If they can pull it off,
Breanna Stewart would accomplish her goal of winning four championships at
UConn.
"I think it's really surreal and I haven't had a
chance to even think about
that," Stewart said after the
Huskies beat Notre Dame
63-53 on Tuesday night in
the title game. "I've won
three national championships, but said I wanted
to win four, you can't win
four without winning three
first."
Stewart, the two-time
AP Player of the Year, is
one of four starters returning and they will be joined
by another stellar incoming recruiting class. She
earned most outstanding
player of the Final Four for
the third time, making her
the first woman to achieve
that. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
was the only men's player
to do it when he played for
the Wizard of Westwood.
Stewart had only eight
points in Tuesday night's
win, but she got a big lift
from her teammates. Moriah Jefferson scored 15
points and played stellar
defense on Notre Dame's
Jewell Loyd.
Auriemma, 10 for 10
in national championship games, has won his
titles over a 20-year span.
Wooden won his 10 over
12 years.

Your willingness to help others
and your insight into trends will
bring you rewards and opportunities. Others will be inspired
by your adventurous and exciting nature. Getting involved in
charitable or benevolent organizations will spark new ideas
and motivate you to start something new.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- A joint venture will work in
your favor. Property investments look promising. Do your
homework and discuss your
plans with the people who can
offer you relevant advice.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Trim your expenses and keep
an eye on your assets. A thorough scrutiny of your personal
documents can reveal ways to
improve your financial status. A
family member will try your
patience.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Look for ways to meet new
people. Your desire to travel
will stretch your finances. Find
venues closer to home that are
cost-efficient and could inspire
your ambition.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Business meetings or seminars will introduce you to likeminded individuals. Mixing
business with pleasure will lead
to a social opportunity.
Co-workers will be impressed
by your humor and
friendliness.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- Get your work out of the way
so you can spend more time
with friends and family.
Children and elders will appreciate any effort you make to
include them in your plans.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- A new partnership will entice
you, but don't move too fast.
Take the time to get to know
each other before you decide to
dive head-first into a joint
venture.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Boredom or stress will surface. Get out and do things you
enjoy. The people you usually
hang out with will not be interested in joining you, but don't
let that hold you back.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Physical activity will help
keep your mind off of your personal struggles. Be mindful of
your budget. Working out at
home can have just as many
benefits as a high-priced gym.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
-- Don't be tempted to gamble
or lend money. Be wary of anyone who tries to involve you in
a dubious venture. Any financial decisions should be made
with caution.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Work on your own personal
issues before offering advice to
others. Remaining neutral and
keeping your opinions to yourself will be the best course of
action.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Do whatever it takes to
improve your self-confidence.
You have a lot to offer, so don't
sell yourself short. Focus on
your attributes, and avoid comparing yourself to other people.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Be assertive if someone tries
to entangle you in something
that goes against your principles. If you damage your reputation, it will be difficult to
repair.

Sense & Sensitivity
DEAR HARRIETTE: One of
my best friends wants to get a
tummy tuck, and she is intent
upon doing it this spring. Being
someone who has had a lot of
non-elective surgery, I am reluctant to even consider going under
the knife when it isn't needed.
Naturally, I think this is a horrible idea. But another reason I
don't like it at all is that my
friend is overweight. We don't
talk about that so much, but I
just don't see how she thinks that
getting belly fat cut out is going
to solve her problems. Everything
I have read suggests that the fat
will just fill right back in if you
don't actually lose weight.
Should I say this to her or just
step aside and let her do what
she wants?
– Having Her Back, Chicago
DEAR HAVING HER BACK:
Your personal concerns about
elective surgery aside, you do
have a point about the lasting
effects of a tummy tuck when a
person is overweight. My
research suggests that anyone
with a body mass index above 30
should not consider this type of
surgery. Chances are her surgeon has told her the same thing.
Yet many women who are slightly overweight get this surgery on
a regular basis. While it does not
make them slim, it can flatten
out their bellies.
My recommendation would be
to step aside. Your friend is
working with a doctor who
should know the parameters for
safely conducting this surgery.
You should address the issue
only if your friend asks your
By
Harriette Cole
opinion. Otherwise, just be
there to support her recovery
should she need it.
DEAR HARRIETTE: When
I was growing up, my mom
taught me how to cook at a very
early age. My husband is reluctant to let me teach my 8-yearold how to cook because he's
worried she will cut herself or
burn the kitchen. Obviously, we
need to have guidelines, including always having adult supervision during cooking, but I
want to get started now. How
can I assure my husband that
we will be careful?
– Ready to Cook, Tallahassee,
Florida
DEAR READY TO COOK:
You can get child-size kitchen
tools that are made for smaller
hands and that have safety features built in. You can also set
up kitchen rules with your
daughter that outline what she
is allowed to do. You may want
to invite your husband to join
you two in the kitchen so that he
can observe how you will work
together.
Your husband is not wrong in
being cautious about your
daughter using knives and heat.
Assure him that you will teach
her how to be safe in the kitchen. Many children begin to
learn how to help out in the
kitchen and ultimately become
competent cooks when they
start young. You just have to
make sure that you take one
step at a time, introducing more
challenging skills as your
daughter grows up.

I had an adventure this weekend.
Martie and I decided to go
fishing. However, she did not
have a fishing license. We were
not too concerned about it so we
finally got on the move Saturday
around 11 a.m. to go get her
license and go fishing.
First stop, Tote-A-Poke.
“Sorry, we don’t sell those anymore, but you should be able to
get one at Hodgen Tote-A-Poke.”
So off we go to Hodgen. “Sorry,
we don’t sell those anymore.
You will need to go to Walmart.”
OK, we turn around and head
for Walmart and on the way we
stopped at BNB in Howe. “Sorry,
we don’t sell those anymore.
You can get one at Wister Lake
at the office.”
Took the back way through
Remington Young
Dakota McGee
Matthew Robinson competition is rated with a PG-13, Parents Strongly Cautioned — some material
may be inappropriate for children under 13. Contestants include Levi Chuculate,
Gino Hernandez, Blakely Palafox, Remington Young, Dakota McGee and
Matthew Robinson. Cleanup day near; farmers market explored
Howe and got to the lake office.
“Sorry, we don’t sell those anymore. You will have to go to
Walmart.”
OK, off we go to Walmart.
Needless to say, we were getting
a little frustrated but the guy at
Walmart explained that licenses
were issued online and the reason no one else was selling any
is because you need a computer
and the Oklahoma Wildlife program to sell them.
The moral of this story is: if
you are going fishing (or hunting) get your license early or get
a lifetime license (like I have),
then you won’t have to worry
about it anymore. We did have
fun but we didn’t catch any keepers. Maybe next time.
This Saturday at 9 a.m. we
will have our citywide trash off.
We also will dedicate the deer
park to Dale Elliott. The chamber will furnish donuts and juice
after the trash is in. We will have
hotdogs for the participants. I
hope you will join us in an effort
to clean up the area and make it
nice for all of us. We will furnish
vests, gloves and trash bags
along with a map of the area we
need you to clean.
Hope you can join us.
We want to start a Farmer’s
Market once or twice a week so
area farmers can sell their produce, baked goods, canned goods
or anything else. The Chamber
will pay the peddlers fee but I
will need you to sign up at the
Chamber office if you intend to
sell anything. Or give me a call.
I need to know if anyone is interested in doing this before we
decide what days to have it.
Please call me or Faye Smith at
(918) 839-4880 to let us know. I
would also like to hear from
buyers. If you would like to be
able to buy farm fresh vegetables
let me know.
We welcome our two newest
members, Lana Hood and Thomas Smith. They have joined as
individuals and we really appreciate their support. I am still looking for hunting and fishing guides.
If you know anyone that might be
interested please let me know. I
hope everyone had a blessed Easter and is enjoying all of the
spring flowers. Have a great
week. Hope to see you Saturday.
