Former Collinsville
Resident Receives Volunteer Award |
'Joy of Volunteering' was the theme of the recent '2008 Volunteer of the Year' Awards Luncheon in Norman, Oklahoma, sponsored by the Junior League of Norman and the United Way of Norman. Mary Sallee received the Humanitarian Award, one of five awarded to outstanding volunteers in the Norman community. The Humanitarian Award is given to an adult who benevolently helps others in need and who voluntarily helps people who have difficulty helping themselves. Mary Sallee was nominated by Food and Shelter for Friends where she has been a volunteer for 10 years. Each Tuesday, with the help of fellow Rotary members and the Golden Corral Restaurant, she delivers breakfast food to the shelter. With the help of McFarlin United Methodist Women, she coordinates a birthday party once a month for children at the shelter, many of whom wouldn't have any kind of party. She also organizes Sunday church services (with the help of the McFarlin United Methodist Women) at Griffin Memorial Hospital. Mary and her husband, Larry, participate in the Adopt-A-Highway campaign, picking up trash on Classen Blvd on Sunday afternoons twice a month. Mary presented her $400 check to the Food and Shelter for Friends. Mary, who was raised in Collinsville, is the daughter Adam Sallee. She holds three degrees from the University of Oklahoma. She is a composer and arranger and writes much of the music used in her piano studio, where she teaches 30 students, a majority of whom are adults. Submitted by Susan Worstell (4/20/2008 |
"Old"
Turf Saw Last Game With
4/22/2008 Soccer Game |
The football goalposts were already down (below) at Sallee Field, but the task of revamping Sallee Field for the new all-weather turf had to wait for the final home CHS Soccer game April 22, before the old turf removal could begin today (April 23rd). The new turf should be ready for the CHS football season. |
The new turf will drain straight down through the fabric and base into a network of pipes under the field which will then drain into a new recessed area north of the field. The area is the former parking area and band practice field. Some parking spaces have been lost but cars will still be able to park in the new graveled area according to CHS Athletic Director, Bill Rule. |

John, I'm passing your request on to City Manager Pam Polk, but would like to copied on the reply as it would be nice to have the specifics posted on www.cvilleok.com. I know the location of the brush dump site but not the hours and cost and limitations. Not aware of a local trash dump anymore? -- Ted Wright (4/23/2008 |
