On Saturday, Dec. 14, the Midwest City Council of Garden Clubs will sponsor a Christmas Tea along with their Holiday Homes Tour.
This year’s tour features four homes – three in Midwest City and one in Choctaw. The homes will be open for viewing 10 a.m. to...
Genna Ivashchenko wanted to spend more time with her young daughter and knew it was time to make a change from the long hours she had been putting in at the pizza restaurant in Chandler she had been operating with a former business partner.
That change resulted in her opening Creperie and European Café located at 2839 S. Douglas Boulevard in Midwest...
State auditors released their findings Thursday, Nov. 14 of the audit they completed on the Choctaw Town Square project that includes a new Walmart Super Center on NE 23rd Street.
Last June, the City of Choctaw asked the Oklahoma State Auditor and Inspector’s office to look into the project, saying they were concerned some "inappropriate items" had...
Caller: "Yes, you might want to send an ambulance to 930 N. Pine."
911 Dispatcher: "What is wrong there?"
Caller: "I shot a gentleman that was talking about flight simulators."
This was how the first few seconds of the 911 call played out between Dianna E. Sanders and the Midwest City Police Department at approximately 11:15 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 13.
Sanders called police from a 7-11 convenience store located a few miles from the residence she shared with Stephen J. Dollarhide, 54.
On Tuesday, Midwest City presented information to the Oklahoma County District Attorney’s office, who then formerly charged Sanders the next day with first degree murder.
According to the affidavit filed Nov. 15, Sanders shot Dollarhide with a .22 pistol in the chest. She fired just one shot at him and then left to go call 911.
It was a game of missed opportunities for the Del City Eagles. They traveled a few minutes down the road to take on the defending state champion Carl Albert Titans and stared the champ down for about one quarter and half; however mistakes would be the undoing of the Eagles as they fell 34-12.

It’s almost impossible to overstate the importance of estate planning, regardless of the size of your estate or the stage of life you’re in. A close second to the need to plan your estate is getting it done correctly, based on your individual circumstances.
You might think that those who are rich and famous would be way ahead of the curve when it comes to planning their estates properly, considering the resources and lawyers presumably available to them. Yet, there are plenty of celebrities and people of note who died with inadequate (or nonexistent) estate plans.
This year our fall has been delightful with its sunny days and cool, crisp nights; it is a wonderful time to enjoy your garden and patio, especially if you have a fire pit! Unfortunately, along with this beautiful season come leaves! If your yard is populated with lots of trees like mine is, then you must deal with lots of leaves. Fortunately, leaves are a free and valuable resource and offer plenty of uses. Here are a few ways to use your leaves!
Use leaves as protection for your tender plants through the winter – they make great insulation for your plants. Be sure to wait until your plants go dormant before you cover them; since we have already had our first hard freeze your plants have already gone dormant. Layer several inches over your plants or, for taller plants, surround them with a chicken wire cage and fill it with leaves. Since leaves do settle, it is a good idea to keep an extra bag on hand to fill in. Then, when warm weather arrives in the spring, just remove the wire cage and clear out the leaf pile.
