3 vie for MRMC hospital lease

Community Health Systems, Inc. has some competition in the race to become the next lessee of Midwest Regional Medical Center.

On Friday, the deadline passed for Request for Proposals to be submitted and at the end of the day, the City of Midwest City received two.

Mercy and the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center both turned in proposals, which means they are interested in leasing MRMC. The two proposals were submitted to Healthcare Strategy Group, the consultant firm out of Louisville, Ken. the city has hired to handle the hospital’s lease situation for legal, appraisal and consultant services.

St. Anthony’s and Integris Baptist did not submit proposals, although they were the two other metro hospital corporations invited by the city to do so.

Bomber basketball rebounds from loss; takes consolation championship

Coming off their lopsided victory over cross-town rival Del City, the Midwest City boys’ basketball team (8-0) took the consolation championship and a fifth place finish in the Putnam City Invitational.

The 15th edition of the PCI wasn’t kind to start for 6A’s No. 2 ranked Bombers as the tournament got underway last Thursday at Putnam City West.

Midwest City saw the home school Oklahoma City Storm led by TCU commit  guard Chauncey Collins in day one, and Collins wasted no time showing why he was last year’s National Homeschool Player of the Year.

Collins followed 8 first quarter points with 13 more in the second quarter going 4-7 from the 3-point line in that time span. The demoralizing part for the Bombers wasn’t Collins hitting 3’s but the kind that he was taking and knocking down.

New rep in town for community-minded company

Fritz Walter has an extensive background in the insurance industry working in a variety of entities for the past 14 years.

Now, Walter is tackling a new role as field representative for Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Society in the Mid-Del community and surrounding area.

Walter, who worked 12 years as an insurance adjustor, said he is excited about being part of a company that is 123 years old and gives back to the community.

"We’re a different kind of life insurance company," he said "We’re not for profit. We give back revenues to our members in the form of refunds and benefits. They also do so much to give back to the local community."

31st anniversary of Star School explosion stirs memories

On Jan. 20, 1982, the quiet city of Spencer was devastated when a boiler exploded killing six students and one teacher, and injuring dozens more.

At the time, Star Elementary was located on the northwest corner of NE 23rd Street and Midwest Blvd. After repairs were made to the school, classes resumed until the final bell rang 22 years later.

At that time, Oklahoma City Schools decided to sell the property but it was not until 2006 when the school was demolished and eventually replaced with a Walgreens retail store.
