L-R: Presley Weathers, Fallin Sexton, and Ashley Flanagan |
Three
local girls competed at the Athletic Cheer Championship this past weekend held
in Tulsa at the UMAC. The girls cheer for the OOOTC TOS All-Stars in Owasso. Presley
Weathers (Sparkling squad) and Ashley Flanagan (Sassy Squad) were very excited
to win National Champions in their divisions and Fallin Sexton (Shining squad)
were out of first place by one point but had an amazing performance. TOS's Super
Squad also took home the National Champion trophy. Congratulations to all of the
squads and their coaches and good luck this weekend at the ASC Cheer Competition
in OKC. -- Thanks, Amanda Weathers (12/8/2008) |
A
Little Off The Top ... Then Down The Road |
One of the two city owned houses at the SW corner of 12th & Broadway (north of City Hall) had the top of the roof sawed off Dec. 5th and was moved completely Saturday Dec. 6th. The area will eventually be cleared for city parking. The city had difficulty selling the house initially due to new house moving regulations that prevented the full height house from beng taken onto the roadways. (Previous Coverage: Oct. 2007) |
I missed the actual transfer to the road (nor know where it went?) but the house was gone by mid-day Saturday giving a new view of the telephone office and Nazarene Church on the opposite corners on Broadway. . -- Ted |
Dec.
22nd Deadline For Individual Photo CDs | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I
am already building a senior page for each 2009 CHS graduate. As part of that
massive effort (that has actually been in progress for years as I have photographed
those active in sports and activities) I will soon begin my annual search through
my photo archives. A fallout of that search is collecting individual photos (for CDs) for requested students. Having done the seniors' pages since 2004 I am always amazed at the number of students and parents that seem unaware of the annual process so will try to provide more detail here. I am also considering a meeting with each individual senior prior to releasing the pages online May 1st. No activity consumes more of my time each year than these two efforts.. -- Ted Wright -- Dec. 8, 2008 (Previous Coverage) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The senior pages are free to the students as long as I get enough advertisers ...so it is always useful to me to have my cvilleok.com viewers [an average of 1360 visitors per day in November 2008] to let the Collinsville advertisers know that you see their ads on cvilleok.com and appreciate their support. See prices (below) for individual CDs. -- Ted | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Individual
Photo CDs Requested So Far in
the order received ... (12/8/2008) ... the final deadline before I start the search
is Dec. 22. The majority of requestors so far have been moms and grandmas but
students may request their own. (With updates through 12/22
5pm)
I still have two CDs from last year that were never picked up or paid for so will be more strict on collecting $20 deposits this year before beginning the search. The basic price for individual photo CDs is $40 for all photos from 2008-09 sports and other activities. The cost for previous years is $10 per year with a full priced 2008. I may adjust the price a bit for students in fewer activities (like interior lineman who have fewer football photos for example). The photos are full-sized and un-edited (i.e. some football & gym game photos may be very dark but can be corrected with a photo editor). Some students will end up with hundreds of photos on their CD and there is no way to correct all but I will offer a few selected image edits after you have reviewed the CD. An early version of CDs will likely be available in February (for $5 extra) but the final version of CDs (at least for seniors) are not completed until a few days after graduation night. Again, I only do this complete (2003-2008) archive search one time each year so if you miss the deadline you have to wait another year. When requesting photo CDs it can really help me if you provide a list of activities and uniform numbers or band instruments, etc. for each year requested. If you have multiple kids there is no additional charge but I'll need additional names & numbers & grades, etc. -- Ted Wright Email: wrightted@aol.com to make CD requests, ask questions in general, or provide submitted photos for 2009 senior pages.
