Lots
of snow falling Friday Jan. 31st, 2008 but most streets and sidewalks
are melting the snow with only a small accumulation (so far) on
cars and grassy areas here. Heard Bartlesville has 6 inches of snow
already. -- Ted 12:30pm Thurs [3:45
update: well over an inch accumulation now but roads still mostly
clear ... & still snowing] |

Big?
Snow expected Thursday afternoon (Jan. 31st) |
A
special session of the Collinsville City Commission has been called
to address this topic (at 6pm Thursday Jan. 31st): "Discussion
and possible action on FEMA Public Assistance Pilot Program for
debris removal." |
For
those that read the Tulsa World this morning, there was a some misinformation.
The article said we have received 2 million dollars from Fema for
electrical damages. This is not the case. We are still calculating
costs with Fema. We have estimated well over 2 million dollars in
electrical damage alone and we haven't seen every invoice yet. --

Ted, just wanted to let you know that our numbers are up this year
by 20% for kids signing up for baseball. This is showing that our
community is on the rise and ready for some major changes in the
future. Time is running out on sign ups so please let the community
now that they need to get them signed up, and they can do that online
at www.collinsvilleyouthbaseball.com they will need to download
the form and then call me so they can get it to me asap. The numbers
are as follows 6 and under age group we have 63 young men, 8 and
under age groups we have 32 young men, 10 and under age group we
have 27. We do have 2 teams that are 12 and under and we have to
send them to Owasso or Obrein Park because there are no other teams
in our league that we play in that have teams in that age group.
Thanks again and they can contact me at 918-381-7971, Thanks Ron

Ted -
Thank You so much for advertising The Bone
Marrow Drive we did on Jan. 20th for Hannah Pavey. If you could
put something on website thanking everyone who joined. We added
141 new donors to the National Registry. I have lived in
Collinsville my whole life and I knew the people here would show
up to support one of our own. I was very pleased to know I was right.
Thanks, Sundae Smith (Donor Services Specialists) 918-371-7700

Ted,
The City has decided to let people burn tree debris due to the ice
storm but only if they meet certain guidelines. I have enclosed
a copy of these
guidelines. The individuals who wish to burn must go to city
hall and pick up a burn permit. I have also included a copy of the
burn permit. This permit must be on file with the fire department
before any burning is done. If there are any questions they can
call the fire department.
Thanks, Russell Young (Fire Chief) Jan. 23rd, 2008 |
