Plan detailed for development, interchange
By Conrad Dudderar
Editor
Increased revenue generated by a proposed tax increment district would be
used to fund a $37 million
project that includes a Frisco
Road/Interstate 40 interchange and Health Center
Parkway extension to enhance
a future retail growth area.
Tax-increment financing
(TIF) would allow the City
of Yukon to use sales taxes
collected from a major new
development to subsidize
the proposed project, City
officials said.
The Yukon Planning
Commission at its Feb. 10
meeting will consider a project plan that would create
the City of Yukon’s “Increment District No. 1”, a sales,
use and hotel occupancy tax
increment district.
A 200-acre “reinvestment”
project area includes two adjacent undeveloped areas in

‘destination retail venue’ planned
With the approval of resolution 2013-13, the Yukon City
Council set in motion a five-month evaluation of the potential benefits the City could realize by establishing a retail
tax increase finance district along I-40 and Frisco Road.
The Frisco Road Economic Development Review Committee completed its work last week with a unanimous recommendation that the economic benefits of the proposed
Frisco Road Economic Development Project Plan will enable the City to undertake and complete critical capital improvements - including the extension of Health Center
Parkway and a new interchange at Frisco Road and I-40.
The proposed increment district and project plan also will
help the City in development of a “destination retail venue”
along with a highly anticipated conference facility.
on either side of I-40.
Yukon Economic Development Director Larry
Mitchell, who is in charge of
implementing the project plan,
cited the “tremendous benefit
to undertaking this project.”
The first project area is a
tract of land bounded by the
centerline of I-40 on the
north, Garth Brooks Boulevard and Health Center
Parkway on the east, and
10th Street and the City’s
boundary on the south and
west, plus lots 1-5 of block 5
of Yukon Parkway West

Grba challenged by Russell for Ward 1 seat
n Air Force veteran looks to continue service; homebuilder new to politics
By Jim Powell
Staff Writer
The race for the Ward 1 seat on the Yukon
City Council features a 26-year Air Force veteran who is seeking his second term and a local
homebuilder who is new to politics.
Incumbent Nick Grba has served as Ward 1
representative since 2010. He will face Richard
Russell, who has lived in Yukon 30 years and
has been building homes since 1994.
Grba said he is seeking re-election because
he wants to use the experience he’s gained in
his first term and his desire to be a part of a
growing city’s government.
“I was brand new to politics my first term so
I didn’t know what to expect,” Grba said this
week. “Obviously in the last four years there’s been
quite a change in the culture and political climate
in Yukon. I think we’ve made a lot of progress
and I want to continue on in the same vein.”

space over the next 10 to 12
years to fund the project.
Several national retail
chains and hotel-conference
center are among possible
additions along this booming commercial area south
of I-40 near the hospital between Frisco Road and
Garth Brooks Boulevard.
Under the TIF proposal,
any increases (increment) in
sales taxes would be retained by the City of Yukon.
The City could issue revenue bonds or notes that
can be repaid by that increment and spend the revenue
from the bonds to build the
infrastructure.
Project developers will buy
the bonds; “not the bank”,
City Manager Grayson Bottom emphasized.
This will guarantee the
planned development is
“going to be built out,” Bottom said.
Citizen input will be welcome at three public hearings, one at the Feb. 10th
Yukon Planning Commission meeting and then two
subsequent City Council
meetings. The Yukon City
Council will have the final
say on the TIF project, and
could amend the project
plan budget.
PROPOSED SALES
TAX INCREMENT
The proposed sales tax increment would be 90% of
the City of Yukon’s 2% nondedicated sales tax, 90% of
the City’s 2% non-dedicated
use tax and 90% of the City’s
5% hotel occupancy tax
“generated by commercial
transactions” in Increment
District No. 1.
Regardless of whether the
City of Yukon raises its
sales, use or hotel tax rates,
the incremental tax rate
would remain the same for
purposes of calculating the
sales tax increment generated
by the district to pay project
costs for up to 25 years.
The City of Yukon would
directly benefit from additional growth of dedicated
sales tax revenue - the 2%
not included in the proposed project budget earmarked for the City’s capital
improvement fund and pub-
lic safety employee salaries.
Total estimated private investment for the project
would be about $75 million,
in addition to an estimated
$60 million in aggregate
public investment – which
includes the federal portion
of the Frisco Road-I-40 interchange construction.
Incremental sales tax revenues from the project and
Increment District No. 1 are
estimated to range between
$300,000 annually in the
near term and $3 million annually over the longer term.
“The development anticipated by the redevelopment
agreement will not result in
a measureable increase in
demand for services by or in
costs to the City of Yukon,
whose public sector costs
will be substantially defrayed
from apportioned sales tax
increments,” according to
the draft plan. “The public
revenue anticipated includes
increased tax revenue both
inside and outside the increment district.”
Mitchell emphasized that
Yukon’s TIF will be a “city
sales tax-only” district.
“No property tax revenue or county sales tax
will be captured by the district, which means that
both
Yukon
Public
Schools and Canadian
County will see a significant increase in revenue
collections,” Mitchell said.
FRISCO ROAD/I40
PROJECT PLAN
A four-ramp Frisco
Road/I-40
interchange,
along with other public
transportation
improvements, “is critical to the
City’s need to attract major
investment to the area, to
preserve or enhance the tax
base, to reverse economic
stagnation, and provide a
catalyst for retaining or expanding employment,” according to a draft of the
Frisco Road Economic Development Project Plan.
Federal funding could
cover up to 80% of the cost
of the Frisco Road/I-40 interchange. The City’s share of
the Frisco Road interchange
could be 20% or more, an
estimated $6M-$8M.
A new I-40 interchange at
Frisco Road and related im-
provements are needed “with
all the development west of
Yukon,” Mitchell noted.
The City of Yukon would
coordinate with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation for the planning,
funding and construction of
the Frisco Road/I-40 interchange. City leaders hope
ODOT will expedite the interchange project, which is
now scheduled for 2020.
The estimated $37 million
in project costs would be financed by an apportion-
ment of sales, use and hotel
occupancy tax increments
from the City of Yukon’s Increment District No. 1.
• $25 million for public
improvements:
Primary
transportation
improvements include: The local
share of the Interstate 40 interchange at Frisco Road,
widening Frisco Road, extending Health Center Parkway, and construction of
other roads in the project
area. Other infrastructure
improvements include: Water
system, sanitary sewer, storm
drainage, sidewalks, and utility
relocation. Public amenities
include: Streetscapes, landscaping, lighting, water features, and parks.
• $10 million for development financing assistance
and land acquisition: Specifically acquisition of rights-ofway and other land for public
use, assistance for business
location, relocation, expansion, or tenant improvements, and land creation.
• $1 million for project
implementation: Preparation of the project plan, implementation,
planning,
design, market studies, surveys, legal, engineering, direct administrative costs,
organizational costs, and annual report.
• $1 million project
contingency
The City of Yukon must
extend Health Center Parkway to attract more “big box
stores” interested in prime
retail sites, Mayor Ken
Smith said.
Seat
Grba said the city’s growth, however,
needs to be directed in a financially
conscious way.
“It’s obvious from a development
standpoint, we’re really taking off, especially with what’s happening on the
west side,” the Ward 1 incumbent said.
“It’s good for the city but it needs to be
done in the right way and we still need
to be fiscally responsible. Yukon is really expanding and it’s fantastic. But at
the same time we don’t want to spend
ourselves out of house and home in
case there’s an economic downturn.”
One of Grba’s goals if he’s elected
to another term on the council is to
contribute to a serious effort to build
a large sporting venue in the city to
stay in stride with all the sports
leagues and activities that come with
a growing population.
“The council has discussed this before and we really want to do a top
notch job (with) a recreational facility
with soccer fields, baseball fields,
things like that as the population
grows,” Grba said. “The demand for
that is really going to become much
higher than it is right now and it’s already very high.”
Ward 1 challenger Richard Russell
decided to enter the race because he
fears the religious underpinnings of the
community may be slipping away.
“For a while now I’ve had a real
strong conviction in my heart that it’s
just time for Christians to stand up for
their rights and quit allowing God to be
pushed out of the government and
even our schools,” Russell said regarding his beliefs in the spiritual nature of
the community.
The Ward 1 challenger believes the
idea of the “separation of church and
state” has been distorted.
“The fact of the matter is there’s no
such thing as the separation of church
and state,” Russell maintains. “If you
look (at) the first amendment it’s not
there. That all came from a correspon-
dence Thomas Jefferson had. ... and
it’s been taken out of context to the
point of where we are now.”
“I just feel like it’s time for Christians
to stand, put other Christians in office,
and maybe we can get the morals of
this country turned around where they
belong. I’m not a politician, there’s just
some strong convictions I believe in.”
Russell has been building homes
primarily in Yukon for two decades
and is familiar with the critical need
for a permanent source of water that
faces Yukon and other Canadian
County cities.
“Me being a homebuilder I know
we’ve got serious issues with water,” he
said. “We’re going to have to find some
new sources along with treatment. We’re
buying it from Oklahoma City and it’s
just not a real good thing. It’s not going
to be an easy fix but that’s the biggest
(problem) that we’ve got to correct.”
The non-partisan municipal primary
is on Tuesday, March 4. The general
election, if needed, would be April 1.

Yukon Police Chief John

couldn’t have been avoided

“It was a very tragic and

Corn said. “It just so happened that it was Cpl. Stilley’s vehicle and not a

Chief Corn said police
checked the log history of
Cpl. Stilley’s vehicle “to
make sure we were not traveling over the posted speed

29 when the mother of the
original victim, a 14-yearold, notified Oklahoma
City police.
“She had looked at her
daughter’s diary one day
and saw that her daughter
had chronicled a sexual assault on her by a man,”
Oklahoma City Police Sgt.
Gary Knight said. “Ultimately investigators were
able to identify two more
victims,” all of them females
in their early teens.
According to reports, the
mother of the first victim
read in her daughter’s diary
and “discovered that the girl
had written about Ervin
touching her and forcing her
to perform oral sex on him
on several occasions.”
Yukon City Manager
Grayson Bottom said the arrest was the result of a
lengthy investigation and
that Ervin has been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation.

Robert Hubbard announces candidacy for Congress
OKLAHOMA CITY Standing before a crowd of
supporters on Monday,
rancher and small business
owner Robert Hubbard announced that he was running for the Republican
nomination for Oklahoma;s
3rd Congressional District.
“We are at a time when
our nation needs consistent,
conservative leadership,”
Hubbard said. “And frankly,
we are not getting that with
our current Congressman.”
Hubbard highlighted his
conservative values and the
need for Oklahoma to have
members of Congress who
n Will challenge incumbent Frank Lucas in OK-3 GOP primary
reflect Oklahoma’s conservative values.
“We are the reddest congressional district in the reddest state in the country,”
Hubbard said. “Yet Congressman Lucas has one of
the most liberal voting
records in our state. It’s time
that we have a Congressman
who votes his conservative
values, every time. And I
promise I will do just that.”
Hubbard is a longtime resident of Canadian County,
where he owns and operates
Hubbard Ranch. A former
pastor, he also runs a construction company in the
Oklahoma City metro area.
When asked what his priorities in Congress would
be, Hubbard replied:
“Our federal debt is out of
control right now. With
close to $18 trillion that our
country owes, our leaders
are doing little to nothing to
curtail our spending. It’s
time we get a handle on how
the government spends our
hard-earned tax dollars.”
Hubbard also mentioned
his desire to end the influ-
ence of special interest
groups and lobbyists on government spending.
“When you look at Congressman Lucas’ top 20
donors and see that 19 of
them are ‘inside the beltway’
interest groups, it’s no wonder why he has no problem
dishing out the pork barrel
spending,” Hubbard said.
“I promise you this. If
elected, I will ensure that
my top priority will be to do
what’s best for the people
of the 3rd District, and not
the special interest groups
Robert Hubbard
in Washington.”
Hubbard said he is excited
about the prospects of this
campaign: “We are going
against the business-as-usual
gang in Washington. That’s
why I ask the people in the
3rd District – from the eastern edge at Skiatook – to
Boise City in the panhandle
– to my friends in Altus – to
join my campaign for Congress. Together I know we
can make a difference and
win the Republican nomination on June 24th.”
Hubbard is the current
chairman of the Canadian
County GOP, which boasts
of being the “reddest county
in the reddest state.” For

Promoting the use of a prescription drug drop box are Yu‐Can Coalition students Rachel Spencer, Autumn Mat‐
tox, Ashlynn Bruce, and Brooklin Mathers; along with Darrell Weaver, director of the Oklahoma Bureau of Nar‐
cotics and Dangerous Drugs Control; and OBN agent Mark Woodward. A new video public service announcement
produced by the Yu‐Can Coalition promotes the use of prescription drug drop boxes across Canadian County.
YHS becomes district’s third site
named Certified Healthy School
n For promoting healthy practices, teaching healthy lifestyle choices
Yukon High School has been named an
Oklahoma Certified Healthy School
through the Oklahoma Turning Point
Council. This distinction recognizes schools
in the state that promote healthy practices
and teach students about making healthy
lifestyle choices.
“In 2010, the ‘Oklahoma Certified
Healthy Schools Act’ was passed as a voluntary certification of schools that promote
wellness, encourage healthy behaviors and
establish safe and supportive environments,”
according to the OK Turning Point website.
Several programs helped the high school
achieve this distinction, including the Student Assistance Program, designed to keep
students in school by providing support for
positive growth and development during

their educational careers.
The new, healthier food options for breakfast and lunch also helped demonstrate the
school’s health focus, as did the YuCan
Coalition, which promotes a healthy lifestyle,
free of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.
Before a school can even apply, it must
also be in compliance with a variety of federal laws on school wellness.
Once a school has been recognized as certified healthy, school administrators may
then apply for grants that would provide
funding to support existing health programs
as well as additional programs or services
that further promote healthy living.
Parkland Elementary and Skyview Elementary were previously awarded the Oklahoma Certified Healthy School designation.

he people of Oklahoma delegated various responsibilities
to government that
include their health, safety and
general welfare.
Last year, almost 40% of our
state budget came from the federal government – to the tune of
roughly $8.2 billion. This has put
Oklahoma at risk to the sometimes violent swings of the national government policy in
Washington, D.C. But what
would happen if those violent policy swings were permanent? What
would happen if Washington,
D.C. could no longer fund 40% of
our state’s budget? I don’t think
this is an unreasonable question.
Last year, the Legislature addressed this question by passing
House Bill 1917, which asked
each state agency to create a
budget that would anticipate a
25% decrease in federal funding.
Unfortunately, the measure,
which was introduced by House
Speaker T.W. Shannon (R-Lawton) and passed by wide margins
in both the House and Senate, was
T
vetoed by the governor.
I believe it is important to prepare for any number of threats to
our state by providing continuity
of government and preparing individuals to take care of themselves, their families, neighbors
and businesses.
The problem is big; the federal
government is broke and broken.
At this moment, we are a staggering $17 trillion in debt!
Last year alone, the federal government took in a record $2.8 trillion but still needed to borrow
almost a trillion dollars just to
fund day-to-day operations. Remember, that’s borrowing
$1,000,000,000,000 over a 365
day period. I think we can all
agree this is a huge problem and
is unsustainable.
What we don’t know is how
much money we Oklahomans
send Washington, D.C. each year.
We are unclear how much money
the federal government spends in
overhead expenses each year. Add
to that the fact that the state Legislature doesn’t even know how
much money is actually sent to

What began as a personal
journey to race again after
an injury, led to Melinda
Parsons’ passion for
fundraising for a cause
close to her heart.
This is because her
mother, Louvenia Audrey,
of Moore, OK, suffers
from Parkinson disease.
Melinda began her journey by participating in the
inaugural Parkinson Foundation Walk in the Park
Event in 2011 and her involvement has grown each
year culminating with a
position on the Board of
the Parkinson Foundation
of Oklahoma.
This year, Melinda was
asked to Chair the 2014 Walk
in the Park Event. A challenge she gladly accepted on
behalf of her mother and the
15,000 Oklahoman’s who
suffer with Parkinson’s.
Several years after being
diagnosed in 2004 with
Parkinson disease,
Melinda started to notice a
significant decline in both
her mother’s motor skills
and her speech.
In a search for information and services to help
with her mother’s condition,
she found the Parkinson
Foundation of Oklahoma
was holding a meeting to
raise funds for a new speech
therapy program called
“Speak Out! Oklahoma.”
Melinda attended the
meeting with her mother
and was given information
about the 2011 Walk in the
Park event. She signed up
to participate realizing it
would benefit the foundation, but also as a desire to
resume racing after suffering a compound fracture of
her leg the previous year.
Louvenia was unable to
participate in the event, but
went to cheer on her
daughter and to support
the cause. The race was a
struggle for Melinda and
she was among the last to
finish as her leg was still
on the mend.
As she crossed the finish
line, Melinda looked up to
see her mother’s face
beaming with pride and
gratitude. That was when
she really understood her
involvement was much
more than a race, her participation actually helped
to fund the programs that
were improving the quality
of her mother’s life.
This was a major turning
point, and when Melinda
was asked to join the Walk
Committee the following
November, she didn’t hesi-
tate to volunteer.
Melinda was then invited
to take a position on the
Board of Directors and in
2013, Melinda captained a
team and took first place
in fundraising!
This led to an invitation
to Chair the 2014 Walk in
the Park Event Committee.
Melinda immediately accepted the challenge and
with the help of a passionate group of staff and volunteers, hopes to grow
participation and recognition for the cause.
The Parkinson Foundation of Oklahoma helps the
thousands of Oklahoman’s
who suffer with Parkinson’s and their families by
organizing voice therapy,
group exercise meetings,
support groups, education,
information and referrals.
How can you help?
These programs are funded
through the Foundation’s
fundraising efforts like the
Walk in the Park Event.
The 2014 Event will be
held on Sunday, May 4,
2014 at 2 p.m. in Stars
and Stripes Park at Lake
Hefner. Please visit
www.ParkinsonOklahoma.com
for additional information or to register and
make a difference.

Surrey Hills’ Larry Floyd to receive Sports Museum honor
By Darl DeVault
Softball coaches Patti
Gasso of defending national
champion OU and Rich
Wieligman of OSU will be
special guests at a Guthrie
luncheon presenting the
Oklahoma Sports Historian
of the Year Award.
Sponsored by the Territorial Capital Sports Museum
and John Vance Motor
Group, the award will be
presented this Thursday,
Jan. 30 at the museum to authors Larry C. Floyd and
Bill Plummer III for their
2013 book, “A Series of
Their Own.” It chronicles
the first 44 years of the
women’s collegiate national
softball championship.
“With the rich history of
women’s college softball in
the state, the annual NCAA
n OU, OSU softball coaches to present award at Thursday luncheon
championship event in
Oklahoma City, and now
with a book telling this national story, we thought this
luncheon would be a fitting
occasion to recognize all of
this,” said Richard Hendricks, executive director of
the Territorial Capital Sports
Museum, formerly the Oklahoma Sports Museum. The
award is the first of its kind
presented by the sports museum, Hendricks said.
Both OU and OSU have
fielded teams in the national
championship series dating
back to the 1970s.
Oklahoma has competed
in 12 women’s series events,
including national titles in
2000 and 2013, while OSU
has appeared in 11 national
championship tournaments,
including both the NCAA
and AIAW events in 1982.
Tiny Northwestern Oklahoma State University in
Alva made its solo appearance in the national championship in 1976 in Omaha.
Northwestern Oklahoma
was the only state school represented in the national
championship that year and
entered the fray against larger
schools like Michigan State,
Nebraska and Arizona State.
A 20-year Surrey Hills resident, Floyd has been a business and sports journalist in
Oklahoma City for many
years. Besides his work on
“A Series of Their Own”
(Turnkey Communications,
2013), he is a co-author of
Oklahoma Hiking Trails
(University of Oklahoma
Press, 2010). He teaches
U.S. history at Oklahoma
State University OKC and is
currently writing a book on
wild sheep hunting.
In addition to his sports
writings, Floyd is a frequent
contributor of historical articles for The Chronicles of
Oklahoma, the long-standing
historical journal of the Oklahoma Historical Society.
He has published numerous photographs and articles
in various state and regional
magazines, including Oklahoma Today, Distinctly
Oklahoma, Preview Magazine and more.
“A Series of Their Own”
narrates each of the national
Larry C. Floyd
championships back to the
first in Omaha in 1969. It
guides readers through the
tourneys up to the 2012
NCAA Division I National
Championship won by Alabama, competition now centered each year at the
Women’s College World
Series at Oklahoma City
ASA Hall of Fame Stadium.
The book also chronicles
how changing social attitudes toward women as
competitive athletes and
funding from Federal Title
IX legislation combined to
promote college softball and
its national championship.
The luncheon will be
from 11:30 to 1 p.m. Thursday at the museum, 315 W.
Oklahoma Avenue in downtown Guthrie, catered by
Granny Had One.
Admission is free for students. A $10 donation to the
museum is requested of
non-student attendees.
Reservations for the
luncheon can be made by
calling (405) 260-1342 or
emailing the museum at:

Local man faces prison for taking
truck and iPad, driving recklessly
By Conrad Dudderar
Editor
A Yukon man is charged
with felonies for stealing a
catering truck and iPad, and a
misdemeanor for driving recklessly. Travis Heath Jones, 25,
was charged in Canadian
County District Court with
larceny of auto, grand larceny and reckless driving.
The three criminal counts
stem from separate December 2013 incidents investigated by Yukon Police.
Prosecutors allege Jones
drove away in a 1977
Chevrolet catering truck
without the owner’s consent
intending to steal the vehicle.
The truck was “hot-wired”
and then taken on Dec. 19
from the victim’s driveway
on S 3rd; Jones planned to
sell the vehicle in El Reno,
according to a police report.
Cpl. Dave Carroll arrested
Jones at 1:18 p.m. that day
after pulling him over driving
the truck near Interstate 40
and Banner Road. Cpl. Jered
Reed confirmed the defendant had several outstanding
warrants in other counties.
In a separate incident Dec.
2, the defendant allegedly
stole an Apple iPad and Bluetooth wireless keyboard from
a business on S Ranchwood.
When the victim confronted Jones, the defendant
refused to return the stolen
items and abruptly backed
up his Ford Edge vehicle in a
“reckless manner”, according
to a probable cause affidavit.
Jones drove the vehicle “in
a careless and reckless manner without due care for the
safety of the people or their
property and at a speed that
was neither careful nor prudent and that was greater
than was reasonable and
proper”, prosecutors allege.
The victim was injured
after being knocked to the
ground and was taken the
next day to the hospital emergency room for treatment, according to the affidavit.
The defendant faces 3 to
20 years and/or a maximum
$500,000 fine for the automobile theft charge, up to 5
years and $5,000 fine for
grand larceny and 5 to 90
days and/or a $100-$500 fine
for reckless driving.
JC Gym closed for new floor installation
Yukon Parks & Recreation informs the public that
the Jackie Cooper Gymnasium will be closed through
Sunday, Feb. 9 for installation of a new gym floor.
The Yukon Community
Center, 2200 S Holly, remains open - so participants can still walk, play
ball, work out, and enjoy
many fun programs.
The Jackie Cooper Gym,
1024 E Main, has gone
through several upgrades
and repairs over the last
several months.
“We appreciate everyone’s
patience during this time,”
YPR Recreation Superintendent Quincy Rinkle said.
Major repairs and improvements include a new
air conditioning system for
the JC Gym, repaired roof
and drain system and now
the new gym floor.
Replacement of the gym
floor was necessary due to
flood damage to the floor.
“We are very excited to offer
such great facilities for the
public to enjoy,” Rinkle said.
For more information,
call 350-8937.
Youth from Yukon and
Mustang came together on
Jan. 15 to speak out to leaders in Canadian County
about the issues they are facing in their lives and the
change they want to see happen in Canadian County.
The youths’ presentations
ranged from substance
abuse to bullying.
Each student gave a threeminute speech about a
problem they are seeing in
their community, including
a resolution to the problem.
Community leaders were
asked to listen and provide
input, guidance, or resources
to help resolve the issues.
The Youth Speak Out was
a collaborated effort by the
Mustang Prevention and
Coalition Team (MPACT)
and the Yu-Can Coalition.
The purpose of both
coalitions is to help reduce
underage drinking and substance abuse prevention
among community members in the Mustang and
Yukon communities.
The Red Rock Regional
Prevention
Coordinator
(RPC) actively promotes
and encourages community
members to participate in
these community coalitions.
For more information on
MPACT, Yu-Can, or substance abuse prevention,
contact the Red Rock RPC
at 354-1928, ext. 203 or

other favorites.
New this year, there are
three dance times: Ages 4-8
from 3-4:30 p.m.; ages 4-8
from 5-6:30 p.m.; and ages
9-12 from 7-8:30 p.m.

it is recommended to purchase them in advance.
There will be light refreshments, blue and pink
Daddy Daughter Dance Tshirts and photos available
for purchase.
Photos and shirts are $10
and will be ready that night
to take home.
“This annual dance has
proven to be one of our
most popular special
events,” Yukon Parks &
Recreation Director Jan
Scott said. “Mothers and
grandmothers need to take
those album pictures at
home before the dance, as
it is just a special evening
for dads and their daughter
“A dad can be an uncle,
grandpa or special friend.
There have been dads who
come to both dance time
slots and some dads who
bring two daughters at once.”

‘The Best little Whorehouse in Texas’ coming to Stage Door
The Stage Door is excited to be
presenting “The Best little Whorehouse in Texas” to lead off the second half of the 2013-14 season.
Written by Larry L. King and
Peter Masterson, with music and
lyrics by Carol Hall, “The Best little
Whorehouse in Texas” is directed
by The Stage Door’s own Frieda
Penn. It promises to be 2-1/2 hours
of great fun and entertainment.
The play is set in Gilbert, Texas
which lies about 90 miles west of
Houston. This little country burg
has been home to the “Chicken
Ranch” for about 100 years.
This is not news to anyone except
maybe “a couple of tourists and all
Texans still takin’ their suppers
n Musical opens Friday night, Feb. 14; six performances scheduled at community theater
outa high chairs. Why, half of the
police officers and two thirds of the
lawyers in the state of Texas grew
up right in this house.”
But when “The Watchdog,”
Melvin P. Thorpe, gets wind of this
information, he turns his attention
and his television cameras to this very
spot, and the peaceful coexistence
between the town of Gilbert and the
Chicken Ranch begins to unravel ...
“Although this show is a lot of
fun, it deals with a mature subject
matter and there is plenty of language,” director Penn says. “There
is no nudity, but there are a lot of
ladies running around in some
skimpy costumes and some gentlemen in boxers, etc. You won’t see
anything you probably don’t see on
primetime television on a nightly
basis, but parents need to be aware
that this is an ‘R’ rated show and it
is not appropriate for children.
“We tried to figure out how to
tone down the cussing of Sheriff Ed
Earl Dodd, but his roughness is a
big part of his character, and a huge
reason why everything with the
Chicken Ranch gets so blown out
of proportion,” Penn added. “It’s a
central part of the story. So, if we
cut out a lot of the offensive words,
much of the other dialogue would-
n’t make sense. We thought about
bleeping him whenever he cussed,
like a television censor, but the timing of that would be very difficult
and could/would end up being very
slapstick and cheesy, which isn’t
what we’re trying to achieve.
“So, in the end, we decided to
stay true to the script and hope we
don’t offend anyone too deeply.
Other than that, I guarantee you
will have a toe-tappin’ good time!”
“The Best little Whorehouse in
Texas” opens Feb. 14 at 7:30 p.m.
Other show dates are Feb. 15, 21
and 22, also at 7:30 p.m., and Feb.
16 and 23 at 2 p.m.
Because it’s a musical and the
production royalties are so much
higher than a regular show, ticket
prices will reflect an increase to
help absorb that cost.
So, tickets in advance are $12 and
those purchased at the door will be
$15. Advance purchases may be
made by visiting the theater’s website at www.stagedooryukon.com or
by calling 265-1590 (leave message).
So, start off 2014 by discovering
a little cheeky entertainment ... discover The Stage Door!
“The Best little Whorehouse in
Texas” is produced by special
arrangement with Samuel French,
Inc. and is funded in part by a grant
from the OAC and NEA.

Hobby Lobby employees support CV Tech
n Volunteer to judge internal contest for Construction Trades students at Holt Campus
David Spear (right) and Virginia King are longtime Hobby Lobby corporate employees
who volunteered to judge an internal contest within Canadian Valley Technology Cen‐
ter’s Construction Trades program at the Holt Campus in Yukon.
Virginia King has come
full circle volunteering last
week to judge an internal
cabinetry and framing contest at Canadian Valley
Technology Center.
She is a product of the
Career Tech system, having taken cabinetmaking
and Computer Aided
Drafting at Moore-Norman
Technology Center.
“I want to help the generation coming up,” said
King, a drafter for 13 years
at Hobby Lobby’s Oklahoma City headquarters.
Her co-worker, David
Spear, has similar reasons
for helping with the contest.
“I went through wood shop
in high school at Putnam
City West, and I don’t see as
many kids today taking an interest in the trade,” he said.
Spear, a 20-year employee
in the planning division at
Hobby Lobby, said he is encouraged to see students at
Canadian Valley so engaged.
“These students built
their projects from a drawing and had limited material,”
he said. “They were under
considerable time pressure.
They did very well.”
Instructor Brian Deason
said the contest was used to
determine which students
are taken to the upcoming
regional contest. Students
from several technology
centers will compete to determine who advances to
the state contest this spring.
Tuttle adult Zach Redburn won the framing contest, and Skyler Ward, an
Oklahoma City adult, won
the cabinetry contest. The
regional framing contest is
Feb. 12 at Pioneer Technology Center in Ponca
City, while the cabinetry
contest is Feb. 27 at Francis
Tuttle’s Rockwell Campus.
Deason said a handful of
Canadian Valley students
will participate, including
the two contest winners.
Hobby Lobby Stores specialize in arts and crafts,
fabrics, floral and home accents. Hobby Lobby officials recently announced
plans for a 55,000 squarefoot store in Yukon.
Construction is underway
in the Target Shopping
Center, just south of Interstate 40 on the west side of
Garth Brooks Boulevard.
Spear said the store is
Hobby Lobby’s 600th nationwide and is expected to
employ up to 50 people.
Hobby Lobby began operation in August 1972.
The corporate office is
partnering with Canadian
Valley to hire graduates in
various trades.

Very seldom does Santa
ever find snow covering the
land in Oklahoma.
This sometimes gives him
problems getting all his presents to the sleeping children.
In this version of the popular tale, Santa brings his
gifts on a four-wheeling
ATV as blasts of freezing
cold sweep into the state,
and even his cozy Santa suit
can’t keep him warm.
When radar signals pick
up his flying machine, the
airport controllers become concerned about
the unidentified object in
the sky.
And then there’s that
pesky raccoon that digs into
Santa’s bag. Is Santa ever
going to be able to complete
this Christmas ride?

Getting You Covered
Tips To Get Best Insurance Quote
BY DENISE JOHNSON
In this day and age when you can shop for anything
on the internet (including insurance) we hare having to
figure out value of those products we see in cyberspace.
In shopping for insurance it is not always going to be
about the price – in reality you need to look at the coverages and determine your life needs.
Remember, insurance is a
valuable asset within any financial plan, but that doesn’t
mean that the premiums
can’t hurt your budget if you
aren’t careful. Fortunately,
there are several ways to
save money on insurance
premiums. Here are five suggestions to help you get the
coverage you need at a price
you can afford,
1. Stick with the same company: Everyday, insurance
companies send out messages and commercials to vie
for your business. To encourage customers to purchase
all of their insurance in the same place, they will often
provide discounts for people who hold multiple policies
with them. Be sure to let your agent know of any existing
coverage you have while you shop so he or she can help
you take advantage of these multi-policy discounts.
2. Have your current policy on-hand: When switching
insurance carriers, know what your current insurance limits, deductibles, coverage options and premiums are. This
will help you avoid becoming over or under-insured with
your new policy and will help you determine an appropriate premium for your budget.
3. Discuss deductibles: A higher deductible generally
means a lower insurance premium because it shows that
you are accepting some of the potential risk of a claim.
But remember, only choose a deductible that you can afford -otherwise, you might not be able to carry the cost
when an insurable event actually occurs.
4. Choose appropriate limits: Limits on your insurance
policies represent the maximum amounts that an insurer
might need to pay if you have a qualifying insurable
event. When you over insure your car, home or life, you
create limits that are higher than necessary that bring on
a premium expense that is wasteful. Instead, be sure to
choose appropriate limits that will help make you whole
after an event.
5. Make use of riders or endorsements: Riders are additional benefits that can be added to certain insurance
contracts. For instance, in life insurance - instead of buying separate policies for your spouse or children - you can

Millerettes win 3rd title
YHS tops Westmoore 41-36 in Newcastle finals
By Chuck Reherman
Sports Editor
NEWCASTLE - Yukon accomplished a feat that no other
Millerette team has in the regular
season.
Win three tournament titles.
The Millerettes put together a
rally in the fourth quarter to race
past Westmoore, 41-36, in the finals of the Newcastle Invitational
Tournament Saturday night.
The No. 9 ranked Millerettes,
13-3, also ensured themselves of a
winning season (the earliest the
team has done that in recent years)
by winning their three tournament
games. The team finished with a
perfect 9-0 tournament record.
The Millerettes did have to escape an upset bid on Friday night
to get a chance to play for a third
tournament title. YHS rallied to
beat Woodward 53-50 in overtime in the semifinals. Woodward, 3-9, had pulled off an upset
of host Newcastle on Thursday
and was bidding to make it two in
a row.
“The girls saw they had a chance
to be the first team to win three
tournaments in one season and
were excited about it and they
wanted to accomplish that feat,”
Millerette coach Eric Sailer said.
“That was on their mind and they
went out and accomplished that.
“I wasn’t concerned about the
girls pressing too hard in that finals
to win, because we are a team now
that knows how to win by blowing
people out, or when it is on the
line and playing people close,” he
said. “We know how to play from
behind. Going into Choctaw and
being down 16 at half was when I
was worried. Friday night we were
down at half and were in kind of

EDMOND - It was just a tough

pair of wins.
A banged-up Miller team finished
with an 0-3 record.

In a tournament field that
featured a number of top 10
ranked teams in three different classes, a finish in the
first five has to feel like an
accomplishment.
Yukon found a way to finish in the top five Saturday
in the 38th annual Jay Hancock Invitational Tournament.
The tournament field featured three defending state
champions in a field of 23
teams. And, those three
champions finished one,
two, three in the tournament.
Perry won the title with
163.5 points, topping defending Hancock champion
Collinsville for the title.
Collinsville was second with
153, while Edmond North
(the defending 6A champion) took third with 145.5.
Sand Springs finished
fourth with 145, Yukon fifth
with 121 and Southmoore
sixth with 105.5
The Millers crowned one
champion and had five
wrestlers place in the top
six. The Millers did get two
into the finals, but Parker
Bohannan did not wrestle
in the finals, after defaulting
due to an injury.
“It was a good tourna-
ment, all the teams that
placed above us were very
good teams,” Miller head
coach Joe Schneider said.
“We finished fifth and had
three returning state champions finished above us.
“Our guys didn’t wrestle
the best and they know
that,” he said. “We have a
few weeks to correct those
things before regionals and
that is the most important
thing. We do have dual
state before that, we have to
win two duals this week to
get there and we need to go
out and wrestle well this
week, get into dual state and
try and win it.”
Boo Lewallen claimed the
lone gold medal for the
Millers, winning the 126pound bracket in dominating style. He won two
matches by fall, one by technical fall and in the finals,
posted a 13-4 win over
Cody Karstetter of Sand
Springs.
Lewallen took Karstetter
down early and never
looked back to win his second Hancock title.
He reached the finals by
posting a technical fall over
Ponca City’s Cole Burns
(19-4) in 4:47.
He had opened the tournament pinning Jeffrey

of Edmond North in 23 seconds.
“Boo is just lighting people up,” Schneider said.
“Karstetter was ranked No.

beat Davion Jefferies and he
has also beaten Teegarden
of Stillwater and we lost to
him. Boo stays up early and
leaves late, he knows what
he has to do.”
Parker Bohannan finished second at 145. He did
not wrestle in the finals after
unjury defaulting to Hayden
Hansen of Norman North.
Bohannan had decisioned
Jake Pattison of Jenks 7-3 in
the semifinals. He had

Stillwell had reached the
semifinals, but lost to Marquise Overton of Jenks 3-2
in overtime. He came back
to beat Blake Finley of
Guthrie 2-1 in two overtimes to reach the consolation finals.
Stillwell had pinned
Dakota Skaggs of Sand

decisioned Korey Walker
of Midwest City 10-3 to
reach the semifinals.
Chase Vincent finished
fifth at 120-pounds, beating
Caleb Nurns of Ponca City
5-3.
“I
thought
Braden
(Fowler) wrestled good, he
just needs to have more
confidence in himself,”
Schneider said. “He was in
the match with a kid that
won the tournament in the
quarterfinals.
“Chase Vincent did a
good job of coming back on
the backside to finish fifth.
He lost a close match to
(Cy) Trindle, who is a twotime state qualifier.”
Kalani Gradle finished
sixth at 132, losing to
Gareth Ballard of Mustang
8-2 in the fifth place match.
Gradle had beaten Ballard
in the quarterfinals in a 4-3
decision that saw Gradle
win in the closing seconds.

a tournament that the
Millers had lost to the Jets.
“I was not so much frustrated with the losses, I hate
to lose as much as anyone,
but it was how we lost,”
Miller head coach Scott
Raper said. “We missed too
many free throws and shots
in the paint. That is what I
was more frustrated with.
“And, I’m not going to
make excuses for us playing
with players having to play
hurt or missing players,” he
said. “If we hit our free
throws and make layups, we
missed like 12 point blank
shots, we are in the game.
We shot in the 30s (percentage-wise) in the games
and when you are playing
good teams, that will get you
beat.
“Northeast is ranked No.
5 in class 2A and Western
Heights in No. 8 in 5A, so
they have good teams. And,
we played the No. 2 team
Go 0-3 at Deer Creek
(Edmond Memorial) to
open the game.”
The Millers led Northeast
45-42 going into the fourth
quarter, but made only four
field goals in 14 tries and
that was the difference.
Northeast hit eight shots
from the floor.
Northeast hit a pair of
shots that gave them the
lead, 58-56 late, then scored
again to go up 60-56.
The game was back and
forth early. Northeast took
a 20-12 lead in the opening
quarter, but the Millers
came back on a 16-9 run to
trail 29-28 at the intermission.
Tucker Doyle led the
scoring with 16, Noah
Gillette, Jordan Williams
and Patrick Arndt all had 12
and Drew White six.
Against Western Heights,
the Millers had the same
problem of missing shots at
the line and in the paint and
fell to the Jets 58-41.
Western Heights ran out
to a 13-3 lead to open the
game and led 32-14 at the
half.
Drake Landeros led YHS
with 14, Doyle and White
had
nine,
Hayden
Somerville five and Arndt
four.
YHS played without staring point guard Tanner
Akers in the tournament
and starting guard Seth Eidson played with a sprained
shooting hand.
“Seth played one of the
most courageous weekends
of basketball I have seen,”
Raper said. “He sprained
his wrist in the second quarter against Memorial. The
next day, he had to play and
Western Heights guarded
him like they knew he was a
good shooter.
“He learned the difference between pain and injury and never complained
after he got on the floor.
You couldn’t ask anything
more than that out of a
player.”

ahead of them in the district
tournament, which starts in

The Patriots and Lady Patriots will head to Okarche
for their district. Carney will
be the third team in the
mix.
The Patriots are currently
11-4 on the season and will
be the top seed in the tournament, drawing a first
round bye.
Carney,
4-10,
and
Okarche, 5-14, will play the
first round.
Okarche will more than
likely be the winner of that
game and the Chieftains will
be more of a challenge than
their
record
shows.
Okarche has played a tough
schedule early on.
The Lady Patriots will
have the tougher of the districts.
SWCS, 8-6, will play Carney, 4-11, in the opening
round. A win over Carney
would put the Lady Patriots
against the No. 1 ranked
Lady Chieftains, who are
currently 17-2.
Okarche’s only losses
came to class 3A No. 2
ranked Alva, 57-55 and
class 5A No. 7 ranked Piedmont, 45-40.

good leadership on the floor
and they have figured out
how to play under those
stressful times.”
The Millerettes led Westmoore 19-14 in a low scoring
first half in the finals, led by
only one going into the fourth
quarter and trailed in the
fourth.
YHS led 19-14 starting the
second half, but saw Westmoore go on a 13-4 run and
take a 27-23 lead. The
Millerette defense stopped
Westmoore from scoring in
the final three minutes of the
quarter and used a shot from
Sarah Wilson and a Katy Fuston trey to regain the lead, 2827.
“We wanted to go out and
take control of the game early
and we didn’t do that,” Sailer
said. “We had a five point
lead in the third quarter, but
we let them come back and
get the lead back two and a
half minutes into the second.
I called a time out and we
talked about what we were
doing and how we were going
to be able taking care of the
ball.
“From that time out, we
were able to regain the lead
and the girls realized that even
though we played bad, we
were able to regain our composure, play smart and come
back and win the game.”
Wilson and Maci Exum hit
shots in the fourth quarter
that put the Millerettes in
front 32-27. Westmoore did
come back and get back
within a field goal, but a second Exum shot and free
Millerettes win 3rd title
throws from Wilson, Audrey
Hayes and Hunter Begley
iced the game.
The Millerettes had led 109 after one quarter after
Hayes hit a pair of shots and
ran the lead to five, 19-14, on
a field goal and three free
throws from Hayes and a pair
of Exum buckets.
Hayes led the scoring with
13, Wilson added 11, Exum
10, Fuston three and Kaylee
Gault two.
YHS 53 Woodward 50
The Millerettes had to rally
in the second half, then had
to go to overtime to pull off a
53-50 win over Woodward in
the semifinals.
The game was tied 47-47
after regulation. YHS regained the lead on field goals
from Hayes and Exum, 5149, then used a pair of free
throws from Hayes to put the
game away.
YHS trailed 26-20 going
into the second quarter and
saw Woodward build on that
lead before putting together a
late run. Two treys each from
Fuston and Chelsea Exum,
including three in the final
minutes,
rallied
the
Millerettes to a 37-36 lead.
Both teams had their
chances in the fourth quarter
and the Millerettes hit four
free throws down the stretch
to send the game into overtime.
“Woodward shot 85 percent in the first half and they
were three’s, deep, three’s,”
Sailer said. “The night before
they had beaten a good Newcastle team who was 10-2.
They shot lights out in that
game as well.
“It wasn’t a lack of effort on
our part, it was more to do
with our focus on the offensive part of the floor,” he said.
“People are going to hit shots
even if you are contesting,
and we were. I thought we
had a good defensive rotation
going.
“It was on the offensive end
of the floor where I felt we
dropped the ball,” he said.
“They packed the paint on
us, ran a zone and were physical with the post play. We
didn’t shoot the ball very well
inside the paint, but we were
able to get the lead in the
third quarter and held on.”
Hayes led the scoring with
19, Maci Exum had 10, Wilson, Fuston and Chelsea
Exum six and Gault five.
