Sanitary Sewer System Study Includes Lines, Manhole Areas
Evaluation of Ponca City's sanitary sewer system will begin Aug. 5. FHC,
Inc., an engineering consulting firm will be conducting the manhole inspections,
non-toxic smoke testing, building inspections and television inspections,
according to Public Utilities Director Joel Mahnken.
The work will include the smoke testing of approximately 226,200 feet of
sanitary sewer line, the visual inspection of approximately 900 manholes
and the inspection of approximately 700 buildings.
Inspection crews will be traveling throughout the city lifting manhole lids
and setting out testing equipment. Manhole inspections include visually
inspecting the manhole interior for structural defects, such as cracks,
leaks, erosion and also for improper or illegal storm water connections.
Internal television inspections will be conducted in areas where severe
problems are observed. The inspections will be used to evaluate problems
that cause sewer lines to overload during wet weather.
FHC, Inc. will smoke test sewer lines for signs of wear and tear, as well
as structural defects and illegal pipeline connections. The non-toxic, white
smoke testing procedures involve introducing smoke into sections of the
sewer system and observing where the smoke is emitted, to determine structural
defects or faulty piping connections.
Residents should pour approximately two cups of water into each floor and
sink drain to ensure that the drain traps are full, to prevent smoke from
passing through the traps - out the drain - and into the residence. Dry
traps, drains with traps, unused toilets, or faulty plumbing may allow the
smoke to enter the residence.
Traps will normally dry out if the drains are not used regularly, or under
central air conditioning units. Drains without traps will allow smoke to
pass unless temporarily plugged during smoke testing activities.
The city and FHC, Inc., are attempting to inform the community about these
smoke testing activities as thoroughly as possible, in order to avoid any
confusion or false sense of alarm. FHC will provide the local media with
updates on locations and dates where the smoke testing activities will be
occurring, as well as distributing information to local senior citizens'
agencies and hanging information notice on citizen's doors.
For more information, contact Sherri Irving, Assistant Public Utilities
Director, at 767-0405.

Blake Assigned As Bishop For Oklahoma Methodists
United Methodists of Oklahoma have a new bishop: Bruce P. Blake, who served
the Dallas Area for the past eight years.
Dan E. Solomon - who has been bishop of Oklahoma since 1988 - has been assigned
to the Louisiana Area, and will office in Baton Rouge. Bishop Solomon will
succeed Bishop William B. Oden - an Oklahoma native - who has been assigned
to the Dallas Area.
These assignments were announced Wednesday evening near the conclusion of
the United Methodist South Central Jurisdiction Conference, meeting in Kansas
City.
A highlight of the conference was the election of Janice Huie as bishop.
For the past three years, she has been superintendent of the San Angelo
District in San Antonio (Texas) Area. Huie fills the vacancy created by
the retirement of Richard Wilke, and has been assigned to follow Wilke as
bishop of the Arkansas Area.
Blake - Oklahoma's new bishop - was born in Kansas in 1938. He grew up in
Wichita, graduated from high school there, and then graduated summa cum
laude from Friends University, which is also in Wichita.
After earning his Master's in Divinity cum laude from Drew University in
Madison, NJ, Blake returned to Kansas in 1962, and served the United Methodist
Church there in a variety of settings for 26 years, gaining insights into
the needs of people and how the church can minister effectively.
His first appointment after seminary was to two small Kansas towns: Ransom
and Bronell. After five years there, he served three years at Herington
and Burdick and during his third year on that appointment he directed the
Tri-County Cooperative Ministry in Herington, which was the first cooperative
ministry in Kansas West Conference.
From 1969 until 1974, Blake was program director of the Kansas West Conference.
From 1974 until 1979, he was pastor of Woodlawn UMC in Derby, Kan. He was
president of Southwestern (United Methodist) College in Winfield from 1979
until 1988, when he was elected bishop. Serving in Dallas, he has worked
closely with churches in a wide range of sizes and settings.
Here are some observations about Bishop Blake from persons who have worked
with him during the past eight years in the Dallas Area:
- Leighton Farrell, North Texas Conference Director of Development, says
Bishop Blake's leadership has inspired "an invaluable strengthening
of the role of the laity in our conference."
- Scott Smith, who completed his tenure as chair of the Episcopacy Committee
in June, speaks of Blake's "burning desire to hear, empower for ministry
and serve every member of the Church."
- Jim Dorff, who follows Scott Smith as Episcopacy Committee chair, says
Blake's "keen sense of vision enables him in a unique way to see both
immediate as well as long-term issues."
Blake served as delegate to every South Central Jurisdiction Conference
and every General Conference from 1972 until 1988.
On the General Church level, Bishop Blake has served on the General Council
on Ministries, the General Conference Commission to Study the Ministry,
the Rules Committee of General Conference, and the General Board of Church
and Society. He is now a vice-chairperson of the General Board of Pensions
Blake and his wife, Karen, married in 1957. They have three sons - Steve
Scott, and Darin - and four grandchildren.
Barker Called To Mission Field

Jazz Band, and Chorale, and the Academic Team while in Ponca City High School.
He also completed four years of Seminary.
Nathan enters the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah on Aug. 7 for
two months of language training after which he will travel to Finland, Finnish
is one of the most difficult languages to learn but he has a bit of a head
start from his previous experience there.
Nathan is an Eagle Scout and his project was to do repairs and fix up the
domestic violence shelter here.
An Open House will be held Sunday from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Church, 2408 East
Hartford. Friends, teachers, and others are invited to come by and wish
him well on his mission.

EDUCATION
Ladd Receives National Honors
SEATTLE, Wash. - An innovative program to bring education skills to students
has earned national honors for a Ponca City educator.
Patricia Ladd, the principal at Garfield Elementary School, is one of 80
national winners of the Education's Unsung Heroes Award. The annual program
was created and is sponsored by Seattle-based Northern Life Insurance Company,
a national provider of retirement plans to teachers. the award recognizes
kindergarten through 12th grade educators who develop innovative approaches
to teaching.
Ladd's program, "Explorations," was designed to provide all students
with educational experiences typically reserved for gifted students. It
provided an introduction to an area in which a student had an interest or
a talent, but had not had an opportunity to pursue it. Students selected
an area from the arts, academics or life skills. Teachers, support staff
and the principal designed and taught the classes. Community experts were
involved and some classes went outside the school into the community.
Ladd and the other winners will compete for Northern Life's top awards of
$25,000, $10,000 and $5,000, which will be announced this fall. The winning
projects will be chosen based on their ability to be implemented on a larger
scale to benefit an entire school or district. The three top winners will
be selected by Northern Life's Educators Advisory Board, which consists
of seven prominent educators and administrators from throughout the country.
Education's Unsung Heroes Awards is a program that recognizes and rewards
educators who have the vision to pioneer new methods of getting kids excited
about learning.
"Patricia Ladd exemplifies the type of educator that we feel will make
a difference in the classroom," said Michael Dubes, Northern Life president
and CEO. "Northern Life has been working with educators for more than
23 years. We recognize the challenges educators face and are inspired by
what educators like Patricia have accomplished."
To provide an opportunity for teachers across the country to learn from
other educators, the winning projects are available on-line on Northern
Life's web site (www.unsungheroes.com). In addition to summaries of all
the projects, each month one of the winning projects will be featured in
depth. Information on the 1997 Education's Unsung Heroes Awards will be
available in late July 1996 on the website or by calling 1-800-426-7050,
ext. 2204.
Woodlands Students Traveled to OKC for Ballet
Fifty-four fourth, fifth and sixth grade students at Woodlands Elementary
took part on the nine-week Ballet Oklahoma Arts Reach program this past
school year.
Students learned all about ballet during the program, including the history
of ballet, famous ballet dancers, choreographers and ballet performances.
They watched parts of famous ballets and learned to discuss what was happening.
Class members even had a ballet class to learn some of the basics with Suzanne
Kem of Inciardi Dance.
When the course was finished, students who had completed all of the earlier
lessons, were rewarded with a field trip to Oklahoma City to see a special
matinee performance of the ballet, "The Three Musketeers," performed
for the students all over Oklahoma participating in this program.
During the mini-course, they also watched the movie "The Three Musketeers"
and read part of the book to help them understand the storyline of the ballet.
They also had some members of an SCA group come in and demonstrate fencing
and period clothing.
The coordinator and teacher of this program at Woodlands was Elizabeth Watkins.
She said she was very pleased with the students participation during the
course and surprised by the number of boys who signed up for the course.
In the fourth grade, more boys signed up for the special program than girls.
Along with the classes, the students also entered an essay contest on what
makes ballet wonderful and how it has changed their views or what they have
learned.
Parents who chaperoned on the trip to Oklahoma City were; Gail Shea, Kathie
Schultz, Susan Powell, Janice Karnish, Deb Joosten, Sharon Owili-eger, Suzanne

didn't understand it because it was different than the movie we saw."
This was Woodlands second year to participate in the ArtsReach program.
Last year the students did not get to travel to Oklahoma City for the ballet
because their trip was scheduled for the day after the bombing of the federal
building. The program started in November and had a 1,600 kid waiting list
to see the ballet.
PC Student Gives Class Report at OSU
An Oklahoma State University student from Ponca City made a formal presentation
for his housing and other cultures class at OSU.
David Sullivan, a chemical engineering senior, was part of a class project
on the living environments of various cultural groups. He is the son of
Dr. Michael and Marta Sullivan of Ponca City.
His team researched the housing, traditions, holidays, arts and crafts,
language and food of the Juarez and northern Mexico. Other team members
included John Cain of Enid, Theresa Cantrell of Wilburton and Jamie Moore
of Stillwater.
The students in the class divided into eight teams and studied the cultural
aspects of Malaysia, Puerto Rico, Iceland, Bahamas, Navajo Indians, Ibo
Tribe-Nigeria, Truk Islands and Juarez and northern Mexico.
The main theme of the course focuses on living environments of various cultural
groups, said Dr. Rula Awwad-Rafferty, OSU design, housing and merchandising
assistant professor who taught the course.
She said a unique part of the project was recruiting a cultural mentor.
Each group had to find a cultural mentor who could provide first-hand knowledge
about their country's religion, holidays, family life, climate, rituals,
politics, food and economy.
"Speaking to a well-informed citizen of another country is an invaluable
source of knowledge," said Sullivan. "Our cultural mentor also
taught us the 'Salsa' dance which we taught to our class. It was a lot of
fun as well as an educational experience."
Johnson Studies With a Master
Lance Johnson, a junior at Ponca City High School, was chosen as a performer
in Eugene Rousseau's saxophone master class and clinic presented at the
University of Indiana at Bloomington on July 8-10.
Johnson sent an audition tape in early spring and was one of only 20 saxophonists
accepted from all over the world to perform for Rousseau. He attended 10
hours of exclusive instruction from the saxophone virtuoso every day, including
private instruction. Johnson then performed in two private recitals for
the other saxophonists accepted to the class which was then additionally
critiqued by the students and Rousseau.
Eugene Rousseau, distinguished professor of music at the Indiana University
School of Music, is regarded as the greatest classical saxophonist in the
world, as well as a leader in the field of jazz. Since his Carnegie Hall
debut, Rousseau has had an impressive array of premiers and solo recitals
throughout North America and five continents. He has been a soloist with
the world's finest jazz and classical artists including the Prague, Osaka,
Munich and London symphony orchestras. Rousseau has also given master clinics
in Japan, and at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria.
Johnson is the son of Ronald and Marcella Johnson and a member of the Po-Hi
band and orchestra.

Tonkawa DAR Members Host Genealogy Workshop
The Tonkawa Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution presented
a genealogy workshop at the Tonkawa Public Library July 20 to help those
interested in working on their family lines.
Mrs. Aden Coyle, regent of the Tonkawa chapter, introduced Mrs. Graydon
L. Brown who gave a brief presentation explaining what constituted a recognized
patriot of the Revolutionary War.
Brown also explained what documents could be used as proof for a birth,
marriage, or death when the exact date was not known. She displayed a court
document where a man had signed a paper acknowledging that he had received
his wife's inheritance and named her, as well as the grandfather from whose
estate she was receiving the money, and named her mother, who was deceased.
The document connected three generations.
According to Brown, wills, land records and church records can also be used
as well as the census records and usual sources.
Brown also talked about how to use Ohio land grant records in tracing Ohio
ancestors. She also reminded the audience that the complete Revolutionary
pension records are on microfilm at the Oklahoma State Historical Library
for public use.
After the presentation, each participant received help in organizing and
documenting their family lines. Members from the Ponca City DAR Chapter
who helped participants were Mrs. Robert Koger, Mrs. Ben Meade, Mrs. Vernon
Merrifield and Mrs. Steven Primeau. Mrs. Marlene Stewart also served as
a consultant. Members from the Tonkawa chapter who assisted in the workshop
were Mrs. George Taylor and Coyle.
Dealing With Difficult People To Be Topic of Free Workshop
Most organizations have one-a difficult member. This is the one who complains
but never has a solution. Or maybe it's the one who speaks for the organization
without having the authority to do so. Although few in number, they can
cause a great many problems.
Facing a difficult person can be frustrating and demoralizing. There are,
however, general strategies and techniques which can help.
Members of volunteer groups, civic groups, church groups, youth groups or
any other club or organization are invited to attend a free educational
program, "Dealing With Difficult People" July 29 at 1 p.m. in
the Ponca City Library.
Jane Lee, Northwest District Home Economics Program Specialist with the
Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension Service, will be guest speaker.
This educational program is made available through the efforts of the Kay
County OSU Extension Service and Kay County Association for Family and Community
Education.
For more information, contact Mary Rhyne, OSU Extension Home Economist,
at 362-2200 or 362-3194.

SPORTS
Swimmers Keep Going Under Rain
There were the usual number of tents surrounding the Ambuc Pool this morning
as the Oklahoma State Junior Olympics swim meet started its first full day
of events.
But instead of protection from the Oklahoma sun, the swimmers were trying
to dry off under the tents as rain splashed in the pool. The wet weather
didn't slow the start of the meet this morning, but "if we get thunder
and lightning it certainly will slow things down," Ponca Sailfish Swim
team coach Dave Strah said.
The Junior Olympics officially opened Thursday evening, but there was just
one event, the 800-meter freestyle swim.
Ponca City's Rory Peterson took second place in the boys' 13-14 age division
of that event to give the Poncans seven points going into today's events.
But that put PSST far behind the major teams in the meet. Kerr-McGee of
Oklahoma City led after Thursday's event with 56 points while Phillips 66
Swim Club of Bartlesville had 39, Swim Club of Tulsa 36, the Trojan Swim
Club of Jenks 34 and Moore 28.
Approximately 300 swimmers, representing 17 teams from across the state,
were taking part in the state meet.
The preliminary events of the meet were being run this morning with the
timed finals this afternoon and the finals starting about 5:30 p.m.
That same format will be followed Saturday and Sunday.
