Sept. 17 Last Day To Register For City Election

Nearly News

The ties between Ponca City and Wyoming are Invisible but strong. One Ponca City resident while in Jackson, Wyoming — known as Jackson Hole — was shopping in an upscale antique/gift store called “The Back Porch” and discussing golden retrievers with the owner. He asked, as everyone always does out there, “Where are you from?” When he found out Oklahoma, he said, “Oh really? I grew up in Ponca City.” Not only was he the mayor of Jackson, he was Barney Oldfield, brother of our shopper's veterinarian, Ladd Oldfield. But that’s not all. This same resident spent five days on a horse-back trip into the Wind River Range and was greeted as she rode out by none other than Ponca Citian Guy LeMonnier who was hunting the next week with the same outfitter.

Circus Theme To Highlight Golf Classic

By LOUISE ABERCROMBIE

News Staff Writer

There won’t be any elephants or high wire acts but Patty Allen has booked some special entertainment for the women’s activities using the “Circus Circus” theme for the Cherokee Strip Golf Classic. Dress for the event is casual.

Reflecting the carnival atmosphere, the ladies will be entertained at the Saturday luncheon at the Ponca City Country Club by the Shidler Methodist Youth Fellowship Clown Ministry, under the direction of Diane Reed of Foraker.

Going along with the “Circus Circus” scheme, Friday evening a Tarot card reader will be entertaining in the lounge for the golfers and their women guests.

Also planned for the women is a golf tournament Thursday morning under the direction of Marty McArthur. At lunch ladies may dine on a sandwich buffet in the grill room or partake of the luncheon buffet in the dining room.

Thursday evening the women will join their spouses for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres at the club house, while the Stillwell twins entertain in the lounge.

On Friday facial massage/makeup application and reflexology (foot massage) will be available in the ladies locker room from 9 a.m., to 4 p.m.

Champagne bingo is slated in the ballroom from 10:30 to 11: 30 a.m., and from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., informal modeling by Moore’s Clothing and John’s Apparel is to be presented by Barbara Impson of Moore’s. Door prizes will be awarded.

Friday afternoon card games will be played in the lounge. Friday evening a dinner buffet is to be served in the ballroom for all the guests, and a special presentation — silent and live auctions — are slated.

Dancing is slated to begin at 9 p.m. with music by Fifth Avenue. On Saturday the same type of activities are available in the ladies locker room, and again, there will be informal modeling. The clown entertainment is at 12:15 p.m. in the ballroom.

The three-day event winds down Saturday evening with a buffet in the ballroom, followed by awards and tournament results. Steve Quinn, a caricature artist, will entertain in the lounge and dancing in the ball room will be to the music of Twenty + 20 Big Band from Dallas, Texas.

Ask Betty Crocker

Dear Betty,

Since I was off work this summer, I had time to plan and prepare healthy, low-fat meals for my family. Now that the kids are back in school, I’m at a loss as to what to pack in lunches so we don’t go back to our bad habits. Any suggestions on healthy, low-fat lunches that are easy to pack? San Jose, CA

You go girl! I liked what I heard—you basically said that you took charge to change your family’s eating habits. So don’t let a little change in schedules send you back to your old ways. I’m happy to provide you with some additional resources and ideas.

Today, we’re lucky to have so many low-fat, lower calorie choices for some of the old brown bag stand-bys. There’s reduced-fat peanut butter and cream cheese; reduced or low-fat snacks and chips; even low-fat turkey bologna. Lots of kid-friendly choices.

To help you with shopping and planning, I’ve gathered some ideas from our staff, many who are also working moms:

Choose whole-wheat or whole-grain bread to provide a good source of fiber. Many varieties are low-fat and some are softer in texture—something kids often prefer.

To get kids to eat packed veggies and fruits, include a small amount of dipping sauce (kids love to dip!). There’s low-fat ranch dressing, sour cream dips or even salsa for veggies and low-fat flavored cream cheese or yogurt dips for fruits.

Add sliced veggies such as bell peppers or cucumbers to sandwiches.

Include dried fruits such as raisins or dried cranberries for munching or topping yogurt.

Look for small containers of canned fruits, applesauce or puddings—kids love their own little “mini-me” servings, and it adds variety.

Occasionally include one small treat so the kids won’t feel left out when comparing lunches with their friends. For example, a few pieces of licorice, gummy fruits, or small individually wrapped chocolate candies. You can always balance their little indulgences with better choices at breakfast and dinner.

And, of course, a fun, silly or encouraging note from Mom or Dad is always a nice extra treat!

Cherokee Strip Golf Classic Yields Unusual Opportunities

By LOUISE ABERCROMBIE

News Business Editor

Business unusual is often conducted on the golf course and the 38th Annual Cherokee Strip Golf Classic Thursday, Friday and Saturday will be no different, according to David Myers, Chief.

Over the years many a business connection has been made during the annual tournament at the Ponca City Country Club. Through networking the event has spawned all sorts of business opportunities.

Over the years Conoco, other major businesses, utilities and financial institutions have supported the tourney and at the same time improved public relations with clients or prospective business connections.

Myers said, “Not only does the tournament help Opportunity Center, but it is a great economic boost for Ponca City. There are some business people that come here from as far away as Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. We’ve always had great support from Wichita and those contacts have got to help us nationwide.

“I think it is good for Ponca City. We’re talking about a tournament that spends $125,000 to $150,000 in this area. If you figure that every dollar turns over three times think what that is doing. So it has a sizable impact on Ponca City.”

David’s sister-in-law Ivah Myers, who served as Chief after the death of her husband John Myers, told her slant on the business angle. “At the time John took over the Strip was at a low ebb and he knew he needed players. When he traveled he took his clubs and everybody he would play golf with on business would hear about the tournament.

“John would say ‘we’ve got this great tournament in Ponca City, I think you would really like it because it is the best in the nation.’ I think this broadened the scope of people who came here to play,” Ivah said. She said that John also encouraged members of Cherokee Strip Council to do likewise as they traveled.

Follows David Mills

By no means a newcomer to the tournament having played for several years due to his youngest brother John’s involvement, David took on the task of running the tourney at the request of the late David Mills, who was Chief in 1998 and 1997.

Myers response to Mills was, “I have a special place in my heart for this tournament because of John, but I don’t want it to look like the Myers are taking over. So I met with C.D. Northcutt, who is chief emeritus and was close to John, and he encouraged me to do it.”

Just as an aside, another tournament tradition is with Northcutt and his brother Paul, who are the only golfers who have played since the tourney’s inception 38 years ago.

Not New to Special Needs

Myers is not new to working with special people with special needs. When he was Conoco Refinery manager in Denver, he was on the Special Olympics Board, as was his wife Sara. For three years David ran the Special Olympics winter games in Denver.

For a number of years Myers and his son Craig have played in the tourney with Carl Renfro. Craig, now Chairman of the Ponca City Area Chamber of Commerce, started played soon after college.

There was one tournament that David missed and he says it “grinds” on him as Craig and Renfro won the tourney.

David missed for a business reason. At the time he was manager of the Conoco St. Charles, La., Refinery and the Board of Directors of DuPont (which owned Conoco until recently) was meeting there.

Footsteps

John followed in the footsteps of his older brother David going to college and becoming a manager for Conoco. Now it is David’s turn to follow in his younger brothers tracks as “Chief.”

During John’s years about $65,000 was raised for Opportunity Center for Retarded Children. After his death the 1990 tournament was a memorial to him and garnered $58,000. Added to the total raised during his wife Ivah’s five year tenure the combined figure is about $535,000.

And David is bent on raising the bar and continuing the success of the tournament for “the kids” at Opportunity Center. And if there is business conducted along the way — that would not be uncommon.

State Chamber To Help Farmers

OKLAHOMA CITY — Recognizing that most of America’s farmers are small businesses struggling to survive, the State Chamber, Oklahoma’s Association of Business and Industry, has called on businesses across the state and the nation to rally behind these true grassroots businesses.

“A combination of severe weather conditions, slumping exports and depressed prices have conspired to threaten the very survival of America’s family farms,” said Richard P. Rush, president and CEO of the State Chamber. “We cannot sit back as business advocates and ignore America’s agricultural industry. We are calling on all businesses, all business organizations and all chambers of commerce to support the American Farm Bureau Federation’s call for emergency farm assistance.”

“Our congressmen and congresswomen are home now taking a break,” Rush said. “Now is the time for us to talk to them and let them know that the entire American business community is behind the American farmer in these trying days. Sometimes when you’re fighting for the very survival of your business you don’t have the time to look up and ask for help. That’s the time when a good friend steps in and begins helping without being asked. We are here for the farmers of Oklahoma and the nation. We want them to know that, and we want to help.

“We have asked the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to join us in this effort as well as the National Association of Manufacturers,” Rush said. “We have also sent out a legislative alert to all of the members of our legislative grassroots action network, including some 90 local chambers of commerce and 60 trade associations. All are being asked to contact their congressman and senators immediately and ask them to make emergency farm assistance their No. 1 priority when they return to Washington, D.C.”

The State Chamber, Oklahoma’s Association of Business and Industry is a nonprofit, nonpartisan business lobbying organization with more than 2,000 member business locations in 24 states. More than 50 percent of its members have less than 35 employees. For more information, call (405) 235-3669, or visit the State Chamber’s Web site at www. okstatechamber.com.

Cowboys Trying To Keep Focused Without Lindsay

By OWEN CANFIELD

AP Sports Writer

STILLWATER (AP) — Just two years ago, the Oklahoma State football team was rocked by the news that 10 players had been declared academically ineligible. Another was suspended for breaking team rules.

Five of the players were going to be starters that season and all 11 were expected to contribute. Instead, just like that, they were off the team.

Coach Bob Simmons was able to keep his players focused during that difficult time and the Cowboys wound up going 8-4 and playing in a bowl game.

It’s something Simmons hopes his players remember as they get ready to play without quarterback Tony Lindsay, who is out with a knee injury.

‘‘Hopefully, these guys will call on that experience, with the number of seniors we’ve got on this football team, and say, ‘Let’s go, let’s support these two guys, let’s get it done,’ ’’ Simmons said Monday.

Lindsay hurt his left knee in the Cowboys’ opener against Louisiana-Lafayette. He is out this week and could miss a good deal more time. An MRI was to be conducted today.

Lindsay is in his third season as the starting quarterback and is considered the player the Cowboys can least afford to lose. He is a difference maker, a good passer and outstanding runner who had developed better leadership qualities during the past several months.

The offense this week against Tulsa will be run by B.J. Tiger and Ben Bowling. Tiger, a third-year sophomore who played safety a year ago, will get the start. Bowling, four months removed from Jenks High School, also will play.

With Lindsay in charge, the Cowboys had hopes of returning to the form they showed in 1997, when they went 8-4 and played in the Alamo Bowl. Simmons said nothing has changed now.

‘‘If anything, they raise their goals, they raise their levels of play,’’ he said.

Tiger and Bowling each played well against Louisiana-Lafayette. Tiger completed 6 of 13 passes for 109 yards, including a 63-yard touchdown pass. Bowling’s first pass was tipped, intercepted and returned for a TD, but he came back and directed a nice drive to close out the game.

Simmons said both are tough competitors and very confident, traits a coach wants to see in young players. But they’re also inexperienced. Going through more repetitions in practice is helpful, but it’s no substitute for games, which is why Simmons said both will play against Tulsa.

This week will be spent developing a game plan that is tailored to Tiger and Bowling, while also working to keep the rest of the team focused.

‘‘The damage comes if you don’t handle it right, and obviously as a head coach that’s the one thing that I have to make sure that we understand,’’ he said.

‘‘You talk about damage control, I’ve got to do damage control with this football team. They’ve got to understand that you will lose players. You don’t want to lose key players with experience, but it happens in football and it already happened to us.’’

COWBOY NOTES: Saturday’s game against Tulsa will begin at 11:30 a.m. and be televised as part of the Big 12 package. ... Jeff Machado, who did not play in the opener due to a sprained lower back, should be back this week. Fullback Kevin Brown’s status won’t be known until later in the week. Brown sprained a knee against Louisiana-Lafayette.

Junior High Tennis Team Places First

WINFIELD — The Mid High girls’ varsity tennis team took first place in the Winfield Tournament, Thursday, with the junior varsity coming in seventh out of twelve teams.

For the varsity, Allison Hufnagel was second in No. 1 singles, while Morgan Meister was first in No. 2 singles. Michaela Cavener and Hope Sanders were first in No. 1 doubles, while Stacy Murray and Monica Cardwell teamed up for a fifth place finish in No. 2 doubles.

Among the junior varsity, Janna Leach was eighth in No. 1 singles, while Danielle Kiem was fourth in No. 2 singles. Katie Blake and Alisa Altman were eighth in No. 1 doubles, and Kim Young and Jenni Cowan took sixth in No. 2 doubles.
