I would also like to take this
opportunity to thank the members/subscribers and customers
who attended our recent
“Products on Parade” promotional road shows in the communities of Comanche, Frederick
and Apache. The products on
display included Pioneer DTV,
Pioneer Cellular, Pioneer High
Speed Internet, Pioneer
Security Systems, Pioneer
Telephone Directories, Pioneer
Business Solutions and
“Partner,” our featured guest. We
appreciate the warm hospitality
and great community support
we have received in each of
these communities.
Pioneer Cellular, in cooperation with Sprint/Nextel, has completed Phase III of its wireless
expansion project with the turnup of 44 additional cell sites in
southwest Oklahoma. These
new sites have significantly
improved our “home” wireless
coverage throughout western
Oklahoma.
We are now focused on
Phase IV, which will incorporate
an additional 42 cell sites to
expand wireless coverage in the
areas around southern Kansas,
from Medicine Lodge to
Coffeyville, Kansas.
The deployment of Pioneer
Digital Television (DTV) is now
complete and continues to do
very well. The new Video On
Demand (VOD) rentals have
exceeded all projections for the
second consecutive month and
we continue to receive new
Hollywood content that is added
to the VOD library each week.
Pioneer DTV recently
received national media recognition with the deployment of our
“beta” trials of a new in-home
Wi-Fi wireless router that can
transmit our digital DTV signal
throughout the home or business.
This new technology could eliminate the use of in-home wiring,
and significantly shorten installation time.
Ruckus Wireless, Inc., based
in Mountain View, California, is
the supplier of the wireless data
router to Pioneer Long Distance.
The Spring Storm Season is
here once again and with it
comes the threat of severe
weather, as we all know too
well. I want to remind all of our
subscribers about the maintenance programs, Tele-Care and
Total Care, offered by Pioneer
Telephone.
Tele-Care offers protection
against potentially costly repair
charges relating to your telephone
service. The Tele-Care maintenance program provides for the
maintenance of inside wiring
and basic telephone instruments
for residential and business subscribers. In the event lightning
damages your inside wiring or
standard telephone equipment,
you can be assured the Tele-Care
maintenance program will cover
the costs of repair or replacement
of the damaged equipment.
Tele-Care is available for $1.95
per month for residential customers and $2.50 per month for
business customers.
Total Care covers more than
just your landline telephone
service. Our Total Care maintenance program provides for the
maintenance and/or replacement
of damaged equipment for HighSpeed Internet and DTV as well
as telephone service. In the
event lightning damages your
Internet and/or DTV equipment,
you can be assured the Total
Care maintenance program will
cover the repair or replacement
of the damaged equipment.
Total Care is available for $3.95
per month for residential customers and $5.95 per month for
business customers.
If you are not subscribed to
Tele-Care or Total Care and you
call Pioneer to repair the trouble,
you will be charged for the
repairs on a time and material
basis. For more information on
our maintenance programs,
please give your local Pioneer
Business office a call, or call us
at 1-888-PTC-COOP (1-888782-2667).

Pioneer Donates To Kingfisher County Military Service Memorial
Donation — Attending the presentation were (left to
right) John Hopkins Jr., American Legion Post 5 commander; Linda Dich Randall, Pioneer trustee; Mike
Dobrinski, Pioneer trustee; Loyd Benson, President and
Principal Executive Officer; Dave Krittenbrink, Pioneer
trustee; Hugh Branscum, Memorial project chairman and
Dennis Mueggenborg, Pioneer trustee.
Pioneer recently made a $5,000 donation to the
Kingfisher County Military Service Memorial (a project of
the American Legion). The Memorial is a project to honor
and remember all from Kingfisher County who has
served our country through military service.
The first phase of construction is due to be completed
in late Spring of this year. Contributions are still needed
in an effort to complete the memorial by 2007 for the
Oklahoma Centennial Celebration.
“I certainly want to thank Pioneer for their donation.
This proves to me that Pioneer is concerned about the
men and women defending our country and enjoys operating
in a free country,” said Hugh Branscum, Memorial Chairman.
Loyd Benson, Pioneer President and Principal
Executive Officer, stated, “The legacy of military service
of many family members of Pioneer employees, currently
serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as Pioneer
retirees who admirably served our country, illustrates the
great value that Pioneer places on the contributions and
sacrifices of our veterans. Therefore, we are very pleased
to support this Memorial in their honor.”

Landline Service Offers Some Valuable Advantages
The reliability of your landline service from Pioneer Telephone is something you
expect. Phones have become a necessary part of life and have come a long way
from where they were only a few decades ago — if we are without one we tend to
feel lost and vulnerable.
— Your landline phone is always there in case of an emergency, such as a power outage
(always keep a non-cordless phone in the house in case of a power outage). Pioneer
has generators standing by to ensure that your phone lines remain powered, to
enable you to communicate with family or friends or even emergency personnel.
—
You won’t misplace your desk or wall phones.
—
You never have to worry about the battery being charged.
—
A landline can provide you with multiple phone extensions in your home from a single
line. This is great for families and invaluable for businesses.
—
There are no restrictions on your calling during certain times. Your landline phone
provides unlimited local calling and affordable long distance plans.
—
Your landline phone is always more familiar and comfortable to use.
—
Your landline phone makes possible a wealth of additional wire-based business services,
like high-speed Internet, Centrex, Auto Attendant, ISDN and more.
—
Your landline is the connection point for several additional services you may have in
your home or business such as Internet access, digital television (DTV), alarm
monitoring and emergency response systems, etc. The termination of your landline
could result in the inadvertent disruption and termination of these services.
—
Families with children, people who work at home, people who are homebound and
other people who depend on phone service want the security of having a landline
phone.

Thank You
I would like to thank Leroy Lage,
Board of Trustees and Management of
Pioneer Telephone for supporting the
City of Geary. Mr. Lage presented the
City with a $1000 check to help purchase
our warning siren which will be installed
just in time for severe weather.
It is this type of partnership and
kindness that small cities and towns in
Pioneer’s exchanges are blessed with.

Project Under 21 Aims To Save Lives GARBER LIONS CLUB
Watonga Police Chief Gary Clyden
has pledged his support of Project Under
21 (Project U21) a statewide campaign
designed to reduce or eliminate the
possession and use of alcoholic beverages by youth under the age of 21.
Recently, Chief Clyden and members
of BCCHAT met with Project U21 Area
Coordinator Ernie Tye. They discussed
aggressive enforcement of the underage
drinking laws and strategies to encourage
local retailers to be more vigilant in
stopping the illegal sales of alcohol
and beer. Chief Clyden advised that
Watonga officers are already actively
working in those areas of illegal possession
and use of alcoholic beverages and
that the police will be an active partner
in working with the schools and community
in all Project U21 activities.
Member of BCCHAT discussed a
community action plan that included
distributing informational cards about
Project U21 to the middle and high schools
and to the community. The Project will
furnish educational materials for the
students and sponsor special programs
that invite youth engagement, especially
around prom and graduation week
Chief Clyden will attend a special
law enforcement workshop in Oklahoma
City to review current laws regarding
keg registration, retail compliance
check and alcoholic beverages retail
and service regulations.
Project U21 activities are currently
underway in many Oklahoma communities
and schools,” stated Ernie Tye. “The
goal is simply to save lives.”
According to the National Institute
on Alcohol Abuse, underage drinking
is a serious problem and that alcohol
related motor vehicle crashes is the
number one cause of death for young
people between the ages of 15-20.
Alcohol related suicide is the third
leading cause of death for the same
age group. The alcohol related injuries,
rapes, assaults, unwanted pregnancies
and school failures, the community
costs, both socially and economically,
are staggering.
Tye offered the resources of Project
U21 to help build a coordinated community
program in Watonga that will involve
the police, schools, merchants, parents,
churches, interested community members,
social and service groups as well as
students to address this problem.
In addition, Project U21 conducts
special training for police, merchants
and community members. Contact
Ernie Tye through Chief Gary Clyden,
Watonga Police Department; Billie
Roane, BCCHAT secretary and Sooner
SUCCESS coordinator or through the
project website at www.under21.org.
Project Under 21 is an Oklahoma
initiative managed by the Oklahoma
Highway Safety Office with grant funds
provided by the U.S. Department of
Justice, Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP).
