Airport Fender Bender Interrupts Breakfast Fete

By JEFF POLITTE

News Staff Writer

A Wichita, Kan., man had a little excitement with his breakfast Saturday morning at the Ponca City Regional Airport.

A pilot taxiing to the terminal clipped the front fuselage of a parked aircraft as he was attempting to park in the crowded area.

A number of people had gathered at the airport for a breakfast fund-raiser, according to airport manager Don Nuzum.

The pilot was not identified. The accident occurred around 10 a.m.

“This is probably the first time this has happened in many years,” said Nuzum. “It was just one of those freak accidents.”

Nuzum explained what happened. “A guy who was taxiing his Beach Sundowner clipped the fuselage of a Cessna 182 with his wing. He turned and thought he was far enough away to miss it. But he wasn’t.”

The pilot was supposed to be following a man on the ground who was directing planes to the parking area, noted Nuzum. Other planes were already parked at the time of the accident. The airport manager estimated the number of planes, carrying up to 200 guests to the breakfast, between 70-75.

“I don’t know if he wasn’t watching the people parking the planes or what,” Nuzum said.

The impact was light, wrinkling the Sundowner’s wing and the Cessna’s fuselage. “It was just one of those things,” Nuzum suggested.

According to the airport manager, the fund-raiser breakfast, sponsored by the Ponca City Aviation Booster Club, is held on the first Saturday of every month. This is the third year the club has held the event, he said.

“People fly in from Kansas and Arkansas and the state” to attend the breakfast, he noted. Saturday’s event was an average turnout, about 25 below the maximum of 100 planes which arrived for a previous breakfast.

Peachtree Pie Festival Makes Changes

Peachtree Pie Festival 2000, an annual fund raiser for the local Peachtree Landing shelter for the homeless, will be held Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m. at a new location, Sun ’n’ Fun water park, five miles East of Ponca City on Lake Road.

In addition to delicious homemade pies, baked and donated by local church members, homemade ice cream will be donated by Vance Johnson and his tractor-driven ice cream machine. Entertainment during the evening is to be donated for the first time by the Sky Pilots, a contemporary Christian band. Sponsor of the event is KLVV Christian Radio.

According to Peachtree Landing Director Carmaleta Wesbrook, “in addition to the location change, several other enhancements to the festival have been made to attract families to this 12th annual fund raiser. Each family attending will receive certificates for merchandise or services from McDonalds, Quality Water Service and Sun ’n’ Fun Water Park.” Donations of food and supplies have been made by Buy for Less and Dr. Pepper Bottling Co.

Doyle Brewer, manager of KLVV Radio said, “Holding the event at Sun ’n’ Fun is a great idea, since many parents are in attendance at the water park while their children play. It’s a great way for the family to spend some quality time together, as children and parents get together during the evening for some good homemade pie and ice cream and help the homeless in the process.”

Purchase of an evening water park ticket for $5 will allow a child to play at Sun ’n’ Fun from 5-8 p.m. Meanwhile parents can attend the Pie Festival on the grounds and enjoy the music of the Sky Pilots free of charge. The band will be located in the new plaza area near the snow cone booth. A large slice of homemade pie and a generous serving of delicious ice cream is $5.

All other citizens who enjoy the annual event are encouraged to drive out and enjoy an evening of good music and a delicious dessert. Citizens who bake pies for the event, but do not want to deliver them to the water park, may take them to the Peachtree Landing shelter located at 105 West Hazel Avenue between noon and 4 p.m. on Saturday.

Since 1988, the Peachtree Pie Festival has been an annual community event promoted by the Peachtree Landing Board to raise funds for the shelter for the homeless. Peachtree Landing was established in 1981 at 105 West Hazel by local churches and businesses to aid area homeless persons and families with “a hand up — not a handout!”

Each year more than 1,000 persons receive temporary shelter (usually about three days) until arrangements can be made for assistance with permanent shelter, jobs and other needs. In the last three years, children have been counted as the majority of homeless served at the shelter.

Peachtree Landing is a United Way Agency.

Towns Seek to End Floods

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — It sounded like a good idea at first.

City officials in Kingfisher planned to acquire the homes of residents along the flood-prone Kingfisher and Uncle John creeks and help them move to other homes in a housing addition.

The project began with an idea by members of the Church of the Nazarene. Reaching Our City, a nonprofit agency, got involved and the church asked the city to participate.

The city purchased 18.9 acres in the Meeker Addition to develop homes for those moving from the flood zone. Reaching Our City organized the project’s finances. The church planned to team with the organization and the city to build three-bedroom, two-bath brick houses for the relocated residents.

Groundbreaking was scheduled for April, but residents in the Meeker Addition didn’t welcome the prospect of new neighbors. A 90-signature petition protesting the move was given to city leaders and the project’s fate is uncertain.

‘‘In the past 15 years, we’ve probably been declared a presidential disaster area about six times,’’ Acting City Manager Jack Graham said.

That’s beyond damaged homes, Graham said. It includes damaged streets, sanitation and water systems and bridges.

Graham estimates there are 400 residential and commercial structures in the floodplain in Kingfisher. Some aren’t occupied.

The situation may be different in other Oklahoma communities with flooding problems, but some cite a similar problem of finding money to fund their projects.

Flooding is Oklahoma’s most prevalent disaster. Between 1990 and 1999, there were seven federally declared disasters in the state involving flooding, the Department of Civil Emergency Management said. The Federal Emergency Management Agency made about $200 million in federal funds available for recovery efforts.

The areas most prone to flooding are Blackwell and areas around the Chikaskia River; Guthrie, Kingfisher and areas around the Cimarron River; parts of Oklahoma City, and in Tulsa County, the city of Tulsa, Skiatook and Sperry, said Ken Morris, the National Flood Insurance Program coordinator for the Oklahoma Water Resources Board.

Lindon Gasaway lives in the flood-prone area in Kingfisher. He and neighbors know they may find water-damaged homes and possessions when waters recede.

‘‘It was four or five years ago and the water was just scary,’’ said Gasaway, who does consulting and sells oilfield equipment. ‘‘I left home and went to higher ground, but I could stand 2 1/2 blocks away and it looked like it was in a lake.’’

Gasaway has lost an old motor home, a freezer and other things stored in his garage, but his house is elevated and has had little damage.

He liked the idea of the buyout proposal because at 62 and nearing retirement, he isn’t eager to take on a long-term mortgage. The residents could get in the new homes by signing a 10-year note for $30,000 and no interest.

Graham said the City Commission will decide whether the proposed relocation program will continue.

Graham said the Natural Resource Conservation Service received funding through the Environmental Protection Agency to build retention ponds west of the city to help ease flooding.

FEMA offers a flood mitigation program to buy out residents in flood-prone areas and relocate them. The government provides 75 percent of the money and the community 25 percent.

Byron Benham, code enforcement officer for Blackwell, said an applicant has to come up with half the match in cash. The other half can be in labor and equipment.

‘‘Being a small town, we can’t do that. We don’t have large enough of a budget,’’ Benham said.

Benham estimates 100 to 150 people live in the flood-prone northern and eastern sides of town.

A bill approved by the Legislature would help smaller towns come up with matching monies. But House Bill 1841, creating a Flood Hazard Mitigation Account, was not funded.

Albert Ashwood, state director of emergency management, understands Blackwell’s problem, but believes it’s a matter of priorities.

‘‘They have to say we’re tired of it flooding our people out,’’ Ashwood said. ‘‘We’re not saying they’re not making the right decisions. But there will be another flood.

‘‘You have to have a long-term, sustained program; not something where you fix everything at once.’’

‘‘Tulsa has set an example nationally on what you can do as a community when you take upon yourselves to reduce flood loss,’’ Ashwood said. ‘‘Memorial Day 1984 really got citizens going.’’

That day, more than a foot of rain immobilized the state’s second-largest city, killing 14 people, injuring 288 and leaving a damage toll of $180 million.

‘‘It was such a bad flood and people realized we didn’t want to have it any more,’’ said Ann Patton, director of Tulsa’s Project Impact program, a voluntary program linking private businesses, citizens and governments that work to reduce the impact of disasters before they occur.

Residents joined with city and business leaders to craft a plan to move people out of the area around Tulsa’s trouble spot, Mingo Creek, Patton said. Money was raised from various sources, including a series of local bond issues and sales taxes, federal grants and a monthly fee paid by residents that goes toward maintenance and management of the drainage system, Patton said.

‘‘If you have a fund you can turn to for maintenance of storm water drainage, then you’re able to buy out flood-prone neighborhoods and maintain that open space.’’

The area around Mingo Creek has now been turned into a park with walking and biking trails and fishing areas.

Miami is another Project Impact city. The northeastern Oklahoma town has been lucky in the past few years to avoid a repeat of 1994 when heavy rains forced the Neosho River and Tar Creek from their banks.

About 300 homes and 25 businesses are affected when the river and creek flood.

‘‘So far, we’ve taken out 12 different structures in the flood plains and we have a bunch more to do,’’ said Terry Durborow, emergency management director of the city of Miami.

‘‘We’re actually on about a 10-year program. Hopefully, in 10 years, we can sit back, review and see where we’re at.’’

Lessert Wins Wentz Title Aims at PCCC Crown Next

Lessert Wins Wentz Title Aims at PCCC Crown Next

By FRED HILTON

News Sports Editor

Wade Lessert is getting another chance to become Ponca City’s golf champion.

He is halfway there after winning the Wentz Men’s Club Championship Sunday. He is scheduled to play in the Ponca City County Club’s championship in two weeks.

Lessert has won both title before, just not in the same year. He won at Wentz in 1997 and at the Ponca City Country Club in ’98.

Consistency was the key for Lessert this weekend as he turned a pair of two-over par 73s into a five-stoke victory margin. Gary Foreman, playing in the same threesome with Lessert, pushed the champion for a while. Foreman posted a 77 on Saturday, but trimmed three strokes off that on Sunday.

“Gary had a chance at an eagle putt on No. 15,” Lessert said, noting he had just bogied 14.

“That would have put a lot of pressure on me. He just missed his putt, but got a birdie. Fortunately, I got my birdie putt to go in.”

That was one of three birdies he had on the day. The other two were on No, 6 and he banged in an eight-footer on 18 — his favorite hole.

Lessert also finished Saturday’s round with a birdie on 18 to hold a two-stroke lead over Bill Powers. Four others — Foreman, Rick Cavener, Pete Peterson and Jon Hoover — were just two more strokes back at 77.

Only Foreman was able to keep the pressure on as the heat took its toll on most of the second round players.

“It was a tough tournament,” Lessert said. “There were some good golfers out there and the course was in great shape.”

Lessert said he was never really comfortable with his lead until the end.

“It’s easier to follow than it is to lead,” he said. “If you’re in the lead, you’re trying to protect it. If you’re behind, you can let it all hang out.”

Don Bowlin shot a 74 on Sunday for a 153 total and third place. Phillip Knight was two stokes back in fourth after a 75 in the final round. Cavener tied for fifth with Dan McGregor and Powers at 156.

Doyle Worstell won A Flight in a playoff with Steve Vidricksen. Both had tied at 164 after regulation play. Monte Keating, Bill Wright and Don Gabbert all shot 165

Mike Lewis won B Flight with a 17 1, nudging out Joe Carder by a stroke,

The Senior Club Champion was Carder with a handicapped 136. He won a scorecard playoff with Worstell.
