John A. Merrill, 104, Shawnee, with 90 years in scouting to his credit, is believed to be the oldest continuously registered Boy Scouts of America volunteer in the nation.
The carrier team of Lyle and Billie Collins and long-time Shawnee News-Star reporter Virginia Bradshaw were honored for their years of service by the Oklahoma Press Association during its annual awards banquet last night in Midwest City.
The News-Star also won awards for having the best print quality among daily newspapers in Oklahoma and placed in four other contest categories.
A question and answer session to explain projects at Jim Thorpe Stadium became heated Thursday night.
The recent winter storm brought with it many challenges for emergency personnel, utility providers, school administrators, citizens and others and for some, it brought about additional expenses, unexpected revenue or just enough of each to break even.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, and we would like you to submit your memories and photos of your Scouting days. Scouting offers adventure and a sense of service that often become the fabric of our lives. Send us your photos and stories from your Scouting days to share withe the community.
