Ponca City's mayoral candidates made their last public appearance as a group Thursday night at a public forum held at the Pioneer Technology Center.
From economic development and electric deregulation to city management and historic preservation, the candidates answered a full hour of questions posed from the five-member media panel.
Afterward the three candidates fielded questions from the audience. Over 75 attended the forum which began with a reception and ended with the candidate's final political pitch.
The election is Tuesday, however absentee is currently under way. Absentee voting began Thursday and will continue through Monday. If absentee voter turnout is any indication, there should be a heavy turnout for the election Tuesday. According to Cheryl Howard at the Kay County Election Board the first two days of absentee voting have been heavier than anticipated.
"There have been 25 voters so far," Howard said early this morning. "That is a lot when you consider that the voters have come from Ponca City to Newkirk to vote absentee."
Election Board Secretary Carol Stafford is pleased with the absentee turnout thus far. "Turn out has been really good," Stafford stated. "Normally we don't have that much 'in person' absentee voting for a municipal election."
Normal voter turnout for a municipal election is approximately 30 percent however Stafford says that because there are so many candidates in this election they may be a higher than normal turn out Tuesday.
In order to be elected mayor, a candidate must receive a majority of the votes cast. If not, a run-off election between the two candidates with the highest numbers of votes will held May 12.
NEWKIRK - Effective today, Kay County government is toll-free.
County Clerk Pam Goodno said a new county phone number, provided by a new state-funded service, allows citizens to contact the county government and conduct business.
The toll-free number - 888-567-4611 - is exclusively for telephone callers who reside within the county, Goodno said.

RELIGION
"Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit." "The Catechism of the Catholic Church" describes Confirmation as a deepening of baptismal gifts. It reads that the sacrament roots us more deeply in our identity as God's children; unites us more firmly with Christ; increases in us the gifts of the Holy Spirit; binds us more closely to the Church; and gives us special strength to bear witness to our faith.
This year 20 local teens were confirmed on March 23 by Archbishop Charles Salatka. They had been preparing for this sacrament by attending weekly classes where they studied the Catholic faith, attended retreats, studied scripture and the lives of saints, and volunteered their services in the community and the church. Meanwhile they continued their regular participation in church activities.
Involved in helping the teens prepare for Confirmation were: The Rev. John Michalicka, pastor; The Rev. Bosco Pudhota, associate pastor; Ron Hay, director of religious education; Kristi Mohr, youth director; Dick Robinson, deacon; Sally Caughlin; Ed Latimer; Jerry Rutherford; Beth Rady and Rich Cantillon. Parents of the teens were also involved in the preparation.

The Northeast Baptist Church choir and drama cast will perform the musical drama, "The Promise," Sunday at 6 p.m. with a repeat performance on Monday at 7 p.m.
Guy Cooper, minister of music and youth, said although "The Promise" is based on scripture, it begins in the present day as Grandmother and her grandchildren await the arrival of the children's new sibling. As Grandmother lovingly describes the past, the children beg her to tell the story of Jesus. From this point, the story of Jesus' life comes alive in "The Promise."
As "The Promise" begins, angels proclaim to the world that "The Promised One" is born, then proceeds on as Jesus, at about the age of 30, begins to be about His Father's business in a new way. Jesus' ministry begins as He calls together His twelve apostles, and they go about preaching the Word and healing the sick.
"The Promise" excitement builds as Jesus comes in conflict with the Jewish rulers over His teachings and His raising of Lazarus from the dead. Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem led to His being beaten, stripped, spat upon, flogged and crucified, but in a glorious finale, Jesus triumphantly rises from the tomb. After greeting His friends and apostles, the Savior of the world pronounces the Great Commission.
Guy Cooper directs "The Promise" with Cindy Short directing the drama. Assistant drama director is Sean Satterfield. Linda Caudle is assisting with the drama as well as serving as the costume director. Duane Gregory, Jim Wilkinson, Rodger Cline, George Hoppes, Marlene Gregory, Carol Harris, Patty Curl, Candy Edwards and others have spent many hours building and preparing the set for "The Promise."
Musical solos will be performed by Mark Green, Tressa Bird, Donita Cooper, Patty Curl, Laurie Graham, Steve Martin and Brian Reiss.
Dr. Larry E. Nigh, pastor, said this exciting Easter musical is being offered as a gift to our community to enhance the experience of Easter through the music and drama of "The Promise."
Child care for children three years of age and younger will be provided for both performances. The Northeast Baptist church is located at 2200 Pecan.Road.

Garfield Academy, a public school open to all students in the Ponca City area, is now accepting applications for the 1998-99 school year. Garfield offers a curriculum integrated with the arts, special electives in the arts, and an extended day option. In addition, Garfield Academy offers Ponca City's only multiage primary classroom option along with traditional primary classes.
A multiage classroom is a mixed-age group of children who stay with the same teacher for several years. The children, teacher, and even the parents become a unique "family" of learners. The children are grouped by ages 6,7,8 and 9 years old. This grouping is deliberately made for the benefit of children and not for reasons of economics or convenience. The multiage classroom is designed to give every child opportunities to find success on his or her own path of growth.
The multiage primary program recognizes that children grow and develop as a whole, not one dimension at a time or at the same rate in each dimension. The multiage program accommodates the broad range of children's needs, individual rates of learning, and strengths in all intelligences to facilitate continuous learning. The program takes into account the whole child - social, emotional, cognitive, and physical dimensions.
Each student in the program has a continuous progress report card. Students move through the curriculum as quickly as they can. Authentic assessment is an integral part of the teaching-learning process. Authentic assessment and evaluation assist the teacher and student in setting appropriate educational goals.
During its first year at Garfield Academy, the multiage program has been an overwhelming success. Classes have been full with a maximum of 20 students in each group. Students are placed in the multiage class through parent request and teacher recommendation.
A series of informational meetings about the programs offered at Garfield are being held during the month of April. On Tuesday, April 7, a meeting will be held at 11:30 a.m. at the Conoco Concourse Auditorium. On Tuesday, April 14, a meeting will be held in the Programming Room of the Ponca City Library at noon, and the final meeting will be April 23 in the educational room of Woodlands Christian Church at 7 p.m.
Information and applications can be obtained by calling Dr. Patty Ladd, Garfield Academy Principal, at 767-8030.
The 2nd Annual North-Central Oklahoma Juried High School Art Exhibition is set for April 15-17, 1998.

Ms. Julie Anderson, art instructor at Ponca City Mid-High, has assumed the role of carrying the torch for the show this year. Ponca City Four Square Church is also donating the space to hold the exhibition.
At this time, more sponsors are needed to sponsor $10 awards for outstanding student artwork, to be recognized in the exhibition. Anyone interested in sponsoring an award may contact Anderson at PCMH at 767-8010 or Owen Hawzipta at 723-4223.

Ponca City's Lady Wildcat golfers showed some improvement, but not enough in the scoring column as they finished 20th in the 28-team Jenks Tournament Wednesday.
"We hit the ball better than we did at Cushing," said coach Jerry Orr, "but we did not score very well."
The Lady Cats, led by sophomore Heather Staires' 92, posted a 424 total over the Jenks South Lakes course.
Edmond North won the tournament with a 329 total and Edmond Santa Fe's Windy Martin took medalist honors with a 75.
Ashley Mott posted a 100 for the Ponca Citians while Jackie Dyer had 113 and Calyn Howe 119.
"I think we did make some improvement to try to get where we need to be in a few weeks," Orr said. "Heather played one of better rounds of the last two years.
"We play three tournaments next week (at Enid Monday, at Blackwell Wednesday and at the Edmond Classic Thursday), so we should be able to see what progress we're making by next Thursday."

ARK CITY - After a narrow loss to Stillwater on Tuesday, the Mid-High Cougars' tennis team (1-1 in duel meets) came back to destroy Ark City Middle School, 19-0, Thursday.
Though Ark City didn't bring nearly the fire power that Stillwater had, to coach Brad Larimer, a win is a win.
"They were mostly seventh and eighth graders, while we're eighth and ninth graders," he said. "Still, the kids needed those wins. And they all played pretty good, considering the wind."
Even better for the Cougars' confidence level, they'll head back to Ark City on Tuesday.
