With Push from Passionate Residents, Guthrie Floats Idea to Replace Highland Park Pool
Story by Tim Willert
Bette Berline lives a block from the 90-year-old municipal pool where generations of families used to gather every summer.
The Highland Park pool is where Berline, 82, learned to swim in the late 1940s. It’s where she took part in a program sponsored by the Red Cross that also taught lifesaving techniques and prepared her to become a lifeguard and instructor. “We had busloads of kids coming from all over the county for our programs here at the pool,”
she recalled. “It was just amazing. Really amazing.”
Years of wear and tear, however, left the 6,500 square-foot pool in disrepair and led to its closure in

Grown Up Book Fair to Benefit CASA for Kids
Story by Shelley Malicote Stutchman
Promising a nostalgic return to the beloved book fairs of childhood, the second annual Grown Up Book Fair -- now tailored for adults -- returns July 15 at the historic Guthrie Depot from 6 to 9 p.m. In collaboration with Paper Pages Bookstore of Crescent and The Guthrie Depot, the event offers a wide selection of books and bookrelated stickers for attendees to peruse. The evening will feature door prizes, an array of vendors and a cash bar.
It all goes to support CASA for Kids, a nonprofit organization dedicated to recruiting, screening, training and supporting community volunteers who advocate for the best interests of abused and
while a lawsuit against the closure is still in motion. It follows an extension of a temporary restraining order issued last week.
The injunction is not a permanent solution, but does provide “immediate stability to Job Corps students, staff, employers, partners and communities,” wrote Melissa Padgett, a business community liaison and work-based learning specialist.
The Guthrie News Leader is committed to keeping the community informed about this crucial issue.

County Approves Insurance Participation
Story by Van Mitchell Logan County’s Board of Commissioners on Monday approved a resolution to participate in the statewide ACCO-SIG, property and liability insurance, for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 with a premium payment option of $526,628.
The Association of County Commissioners of Oklahoma Self-Insured Group (ACCOSIG) includes 231 commissioners in all 77 Oklahoma counties working together for the health, safety and welfare needs of all county workers. ACCO serves as a statewide clearinghouse for leadership training, educational programming, and a comprehensive array of services designed to meet the needs of its member county governments. These include workers’ compensation coverage, property & liability coverage, managerial, and technical assistance programs.
“This is property and liability (insurance) for the next fiscal year,” County Clerk Troy Cole said. “It has increased from last year by $82,000.” In other matters, Commissioners approved a $34,875.33 quote from Branch’s Heat and Air of Guthrie for replacement of three HVAC units at the Logan County Fairgrounds Education Building. The other two bids were $42,000 from SunTech Heat and Air and $75,000 from Integrated HVAC.
“The Fair Board has asked the Board (of Commissioners) to accept Branch’s Heat and Air’s (quote),” Cole said.

Mercy Logan County Leader Makes National List for Rural Health Care
Two Mercy leaders from Oklahoma and one from Missouri on prestigious list
Submitted Logan County’s Bobby Stitt is one of three Mercy hospital leaders named to a national list of rural health care executives to know in 2025. Stitt, administrator of Mercy Hospital Logan County, is on Becker’s Hospital Review’s list of list of 118 rural hospital and health system presidents and CEOs to know. Becker’s, a leading health care industry publication, makes the list to recognize leaders driving growth and implementing resilient strategies to keep hospitals thriving over the long haul.
“Rural hospitals are more than just health care facilities – they’re the nerve center of communities across America that rely on Mercy for care they can’t get any-
where else near their homes,” said Dr. John Mohart, Mercy executive vice president and chief operating officer. “We’re proud to see Bobby on this prestigious list with other prominent leaders in health care from around the country.”
About Stitt
Along with the Logan County facility, Stitt is also the administrator of Mercy Hospital Kingfisher and Mercy Hospital Watonga – Mercy’s critical access hospitals in the greater Oklahoma City metro. The Becker’s list noted that Stitt leads all operational and clinical co-workers across those hospitals, overseeing organizational structure, alignment, strategic direction, financial performance and community involvement.
Stitt began his career in hospital administration in 2012 and has seen sustained successes in operations, finances and patient satisfaction throughout his tenure.
The other Mercy leaders to make the list are Daryle Voss, president of Mercy Southern Oklahoma Communities, and Chris Wibbenmeyer, administrator of Mercy Hospital Perry in Perryville, Missouri.
Each of the three hospitals is routinely recognized for excellence. Most recently, the hospitals in Logan County and Kingfisher were recognized for being among the best critical access hospitals for quality, and Mercy Watonga was recognized as being the best critical access hospital in the state.
About Mercy Mercy, one of the 15 largest U.S. health systems and named the top large system in the U.S. for excellent patient experience by NRC Health, serves millions annually with nationally recognized care and one of the nation’s largest and highest performing Accountable Care Organizations in quality and cost.
FEMA Calls May Come from Unfamiliar Phone Numbers
Submitted
After Oklahoma residents apply for disaster assistance, they may receive a call from FEMA seeking more information to process the application, or to schedule an inspection. Survivors should remember that these calls often come with unfamiliar area codes and phone numbers. It is important for applicants to answer FEMA’s call. For example, an inspection
may be required to determine whether a home is safe, functional and accessible, or to verify the current state of the property. Without an inspection, there may be a delay in FEMA’s review of the application. There is no charge for an inspection, and the inspector will have FEMA photo identification and the application number. Remember, FEMA representatives will never ask for money. If you receive a call
from someone claiming to be a FEMA representative, you can reach out to the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 to verify the caller’s identity.
Homeowners and renters in Cleveland, Creek, Lincoln, Logan, Oklahoma, Pawnee and Payne counties who experienced losses from the wildfires and straight-line winds that occurred March 14-21, can apply to FEMA in several ways, including going online
to DisasterAssistance. gov, downloading the FEMA App for mobile devices or calling the FEMA Helpline at 800621-3362. Calls are accepted every day from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. CT and help is available in most languages. For the latest information about Oklahoma’s recovery, visit fema.gov/disaster/4866.

neglected children in the juvenile court system.
Karen Payne, proprietor of Paper Pages Book Store, and Professor Shanna Padgham are spearheading the event planning.
“Last year, the event attracted 200 attendees,” Padgham said. “This year, my aim is to sell at least 201 tickets, with hopes for even greater participation.”
Payne added, “There is no dress code for the event. Wear what your heart desires.”
Visitors can indulge in yummy food or cocktails from Gage’s, enjoying their treats as they explore the Book Fair.
“It will be an evening filled with community spirit and nostalgia, all while offering a helping hand,” Payne said. “I’m honored to be part of this
month from July to November. Attendees can enjoy live music, food trucks and pop-up shops during the early evening hours. As the sun sets, an impressive fireworks display will light up the sky from Jelsma Stadium. The fireworks are sponsored by Fireworkz A’ Poppin, LLC; Integrity Cabinetworks; Hoover Brokerage; Black Hawks Smoke & Vape; Crosstown Veterinary Services; Dewart-Gumerson Insurance; Environmental Management; Tim’s Body Worx; F&M Bank; Bentons Service Center; Dr. Dawn’s Chiropractic;
Grown Up Book Fair.”
Padgham emphasized that a key objective of the fair is to increase awareness about CASA and obtain more volunteers.
“Volunteers are essential,” she said, “because there are children who still lack a CASA and need support. Children represent our most vulnerable demographic, and as responsible adults, it is imperative that we take action to champion them.”
Discover your next book, connect with literature enthusiasts, and contribute to a worthy cause at the Grown Up Book Fair on July 15. All ticket sales will benefit CASA. Tickets are priced at $10 and can be purchased either at the door or in advance via www. facebook.com/events/ 939137568251700.
