The meeting is slated for the Marland Estate Conference Center.

The grant is an 80-20 match. Sherry Muchmore is the chairman of the Landscape and Grounds Committee and Candy Thomas, City of Ponca City’s grant writer made the application. The Foundation’s funds are raised from events such as the Oktoberfest and no city monies are involved.

Other business is of a routine nature with reports by various committees. Jury Trial Begins In Toddler DeathNEWKIRK — Jury selection began today in the first-degree murder trial of James Clinton Parker for the alleged child-abuse-related death of a 13-month-old. Parker, 21, is accused of the July 1998 death of Adam Edward Allie, who choked to death on a piece of bread while in the care of Parker at an apartment in north Ponca City. The child was the son of Parker’s girlfriend. On July 27, Adam Allie was taken by ambulance to St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Ponca City after Parker called 911. The boy was then transported by helicopter to Children’s Hospital in Oklahoma City where he died three days after the choking incident. Associate District Judge Leslie Page said the jury selection was likely to continue beyond today. Assistant Dist. Atty. Elizabeth Hocker is prosecuting the case and Parker’s defense attorney is William Bock. County Grain Sorghum Field Tour Set WednesdayGrain sorghum producers are faced each year with decisions that will affect their profitability. Some of these decisions are as easy as starter fertilizer and some get very difficult, like hybrid selection for a moment in time when Mother Nature allows producers to plant the crop. Decisions that a producer faces will always be difficult. But one way to begin to lessen the impact of these decisions is to observe different fields, attend sorghum field days in your area and read and listen about what hybrids may be best for the location and planting window. For the first time, Oklahoma State University and local producers Bill and Louise Rigdon have established a replicated Grains Sorghum Variety Trail. The Rigdon location contains 35 different releases from companies like Dekalb Genetics, Cargill Hybrid Seed, Pioneer Hi-Bred, AgriPro Seeds, Novartis Seeds, NC+ Hybrids, Asgrow Seed Company, Garst Seed Company, Triumph Seed Company, and Pennington Seed. Seed representatives will be on hand to discuss the releases demonstrated in the plots this year and where their breeding programs will be focusing their efforts in the coming years. Also at the Rigdon demonstration site, OSU Cooperative Extension researchers have established several other trials to help producers with their management decisions. Rick Kockenower, Area Research and Extension Specialist from Guymon will be addressing starter fertilizer and its effects on grain sorghum production. Dr. Tom Royer, Field Crops Entomology Specialist with Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service, will be addressing insect concerns with grain sorghum and look at two in-furrow insecticide treatments that were demonstrated this year at the Rigdon Farm. There will also be a brief discussion about the use of harvest aids to help the crop in the dry-down phase to help the plants reduce the harvest moisture levels that sometimes delay the crop from getting to market. All grain sorghum producers and interested others aye invited to attend the grain sorghum tour. The tour will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 20. The tour will begin at 9:30 am. Location for this tour will be at the Bill and Louise Rigdon Farm, 5 miles north and 4 miles west of Blackwell on U.S. 177. For more information contact your Kay County O.S.U. Cooperative Extension Center in Newkirk at (580) 362-3194. Flies to Fight Fire Ant Invasion in OklahomaDURANT (AP) — Researchers in Durant have given a new twist to the old adage fight fire with fire — fight insects with insects. The researchers have put tiny Brazilian flies on the front lines of the fire ant invasion in Oklahoma. The new strategy was launched following a public meeting of the Oklahoma State Fire Ant Advisory Committee on Friday. Phorid flies were released on four mounds behind the rodeo arena on the Bryan County fairgrounds in southeastern Oklahoma. Wayne Smith, Oklahoma State University extension educator, placed plastic containers containing the flies on the mounds. Smith disturbed the soil with a shovel and the flies commenced their air attack. The female Phorid fly, or Pseudacteon tricuspis, measures about one-sixteenth of an inch. When it stings the ant, it deposits eggs into its body. The fly larva grows there and moves to the host’s head where it matures and decapitates the fire ant. The head then serves as a hideaway for the flies to complete their development. ‘‘It looks like a very small jack-in-the-box when the fly emerges from the head capsule,’’ said Richard Brenner, research leader for the Imported Fire Ant and Household Insects Research Unit in Gainesville, Fla. The female fly usually lives one to two weeks and kills 200 fire ants, said J.T. Vogt, Oklahoma State University fire ant researcher. The process takes time, said Brenner. ‘‘But anything we can do to chip away at the fire ant program is worth it.’’ Scientists from the Agricultural Research Service have said they believe the fire ants have flourished in the United States with densities five times that of their native South American habitat due to the lack of a natural enemy in this country. Since the July 1997 release of the tiny Brazilian flies in Gainesville, ARS scientists have worked with government and extension representatives of 10 states looking to establish a substantial Phorid fly population. About 3,000 flies reared in a United States Department of Agriculture laboratory in Gainesville have been released at various test sites this year. Another option is releasing fire ants infected with Thelohania solenopsae, a microorganism that reduces the fire ant queen’s reproduction. Worker ants pass the pathogen on to her through food exchange and it eventually infects the entire ant colony. The process generally takes nine to 18 months to wipe out a colony. With a dual infection of Thelohania and the rare Vairimorpha pathogen, the colony can be killed in two to six weeks. Studies are still being conducted on pesticides that would be effective against the fire ants. Fire ants are believed to have entered the United States in contaminated cargo on a ship from South American that docked in Mobile, Ala. in the early 1930s. Since then, they have infested more than 300 million acres across the southern states and Puerto Rico. The ants are present in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, and parts of Arkansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. DEATHSKenneth P.

The evidence, in cookbook format, presents a clear-cut case. “A Taste of Murder” (Dell Trade Paperback) by Jo Grossman and Robert Weibezahl is a substantial volume bulging with mostly serious good-food recipes that go way beyond Tea with Dame Agatha and Mrs. Hudson’s Steak, Ale and Mushroom Pie, two of the menu suggestions. Favorite dishes are offered by writers such as Tony Hillerman (Salami a la Chama River), and Loren D. Estleman (Detroit Stuffed Peppers a la Amos Walker). There’s also Scaloppini Mysteriosa a la Elizabeth Daniels Squire.
