| FYI -- I had the phone (371-1901) at the Newspaper Museum disconnected today. I had been pondering that change for over a year as I am rarely there and was getting mostly "junk" calls on the message recorder anyway. A 60% jump in this month's AT&T bill made it an easy decision. I will update a few key pages to remove that number online ... I've been posting it less in anticipation of this day ... but it will remain on 1000's of older cvilleok pages from the past 11+ years. Email has always been the best tool for me anyway (wrightted@aol.com or twright@collinsville.k12.ok.us). And I rarely post my cell phone online (918-798-1804) as I don't want all the "junk" calls there that come from internet search/solitations. -- Ted Wright -- June 30, 2014 |

Mini Editorial:
I attended the State School Superintendent Candidate Forum ... and
the "anyone but Barresi" choice is obvious (to me and
that audience) but who to replace her with is not so obvious. It
appeared to me than any of the 4 democrats and 1 republican that
answered questions Tuesday at Owasso (Barresi did not attend) would
go a long way to repair the damage of the past 3 years but it will
be your decision to pick the best from that group when you vote
June 24th. -- Ted Wright 6/17/2014 I may have a bit more to say later on the superintendent candidates later. Those in attendance at Owasso were: Democrats (Freda Deskin, Jack Herron, John Cox, and Ivan Holmes) & Republican (Joy Hofmeister). -- Ted 6/17 10:40pm |

Remember those that sacrificed so much ... D-Day June 6, 1944 ... (70 Years Ago) | FYI ... if you missed them somehow ... the storm sirens sounded in Collinsville about 10:45pm Thursday June 5th ... with a possible tornado north of us near Talala having an uncertain path southward. The warning was soon downgraded and we just had another good rain. The Chamber's free outdoor movie (which finally started ~9pm) was also cut a bit short by the approaching lightning and rain. -- Ted |

FFA Needs Your Help! -- For the last few months a group of my
students worked to create a video for the Oklahoma Farm Bureau youth
video contest. I received word last week their video was chosen
to be in the finals. As of yesterday, June 1st, voting began. Obviously
the video with the most votes wins which is where we need your help!
The video is posted to YouTube, every time our video is watched
between now and June 14th we get a vote! I have posted the link
below, please share this with anyone you think would be willing
to help by watching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6h5Lcii9xM
A little background on the contest- The video had to be created by students in an Oklahoma FFA or 4-H Club/Chapter, the video had to be less than 3 minutes long, and the video had to promote a positive message about agriculture. -- Thank you! -- Jennifer Hamlin 6/2/2014 |
