Planned Utility Rate Increases Dumped

Score it Politicans 4, Businessmen 1

Planned utility rate increases for gas, water and sewer which were to go into effect June 1 won't happen.

The GMSA Trust Authority board, which manages the city's utility company, voted 5-0 to allow the increases to take effect as planned, but the City Council voted 3-2 to abate the increases, and 4-1 to allow an emergency clause to take effect on the matter. Voting to abate were Larry Parham, Gary Trippensee and Mike Davenport, with Mayor Gary Bishop and Terry Ryan voting against; however, the emergency clause required 80% approval so Bishop then flipped and voted with the GrovePAC candidates, who had made an election issue out of the increases.

The increase would have amounted to $2.06 a month for 62% of utility customers and 30 cents a month for 41% who use the minimum amounts each month.

Now, $360,000 will have to be transferred from the city's Capital Budget to make up the GMSA shortfall to keep it from floundering.

The meeting Wednesday night lasted nearly four hours and got off to a strange start after Mayor Bishop altered the previously posted Council Agenda items, moving #4, the 2007-08 budget, up to #1.
During the middle of the meeting he left for about an hour to hold his Wednesday night Prayer Session. Councilman Parham continued to attack bike paths, alleging that a bike path was being paid for by GMSA instead of the city. Allegations of misuse of GMSA funds were made and the council urged a delay in the rate increase implementation until the "numbers can be scrubbed." A joint "study group" will be appointed that can avoid the Open Meetings Act requirements, with two councilors and two GMSA board members to have separate meetings with city staff to find the scrubbings. The matter will eventually be dumped into the lap of a new city manager, when that hiring is made.

GMSA department heads pleaded for money for spare pumps, motors and other parts; two generators would cost $143,000; a wastewater pump at $98,000; a water intake generator at $67,000, with none of this in the GMSA budget for 2007-08. The water plant is maxed out at 85% of capacity in the summer months.

"We are cut to the bone," Gary Harrington said. Ryan said 'we have no opportunity to plan for the future, avoiding the increase is not in the best interests of the city. We are leveraged out."

Audience member Bill Miller of Grove told the Council "we all know why you want to kill the increase, you made an election campaign out of it."

GMSA does have a proposed $100,000 in the budget for replacement of water meters at a cost of around $42 each, which will mostly be used in the south part of the city where up to 50% of the water is disappearing, members were told.

Other department heads appeared before the Council, asking for items not in the budget.
Police Chief Ivan Devitt asked for four additional police officers to bring the department up to what it should currently be, new four-wheel drive vehicles, and better salaries for staff, who currently make $8.25 an hour. City staff has proposed $9.00 an hour, but Devitt noted that a new airport mowing position will pay $11.00 an hour.

David Adzigian asked for $150,000 for the Grove Industrial Development Authority to buy additional land for new industry which may come to Grove and was told $200,000 is in the proposed budget for roof repairs to the current Civic Center. The Fire Department asked for one additional fireman, which would bring the city to an ISO Rating of 4 from 5, which would save homeowners around 5-18% a year on their insurance premiums, but stated that adding three firemen would bring the ISO Rating to a 3. Four firemen at a time are required for entering structure fires.

Final budget approvals will be made around June 15.

GIDA's Role Reduced to Civic Center Giveaways

Members of the Grove Industrial Development Authority have learned that their role in initiating fund approvals for various organizations--Bassmasters, Chamber of Commerce, GroveFest, Fiddle Festival--to name a few, will be taken away by the Grove City Council, who will hear the requests at the outset. Previously, GIDA had heard from citizens first, okayed monies and sent the requests on to Council for approval.

GIDA has asked the Council for $150,000 in funds to hold for future purchase of land for new industry which may come to Grove. No decision has been made on this request, but since three ex-councilors sit on the GIDA board, Carolyn Nuckolls, David Adzigian, and Dave Helms, with Terry Ryan current councilman, it is not likely that the new council will approve the request, ruling instead to wait on GIDA to bring specific proposals to its attention.

At this week's meeting Monday, the board approved free use of the Civic Center for the NE Kennel Club's 2008 meeting; approved fee waivers for the Lighthouse Pregnancy Center; and voted to bid out moving Fire, Police and EMS radio equipment from the old 140 foot cell tower to the new 285 foot tower, which should run about $14,000. Anything over $12,500 must be bid out.

Absent from this week's meeting were Bob Henkle and Dave Helms.

Grove Beginnings...Part Six

The Founder, Tredwell Remsen, Part 3

Tredwell Remsen, New York farm boy and Civil War veteran, is well-settled into life in the Cherokee Nation. He is the Grove postmaster and a merchant. He has set in motion actions which would result in a town by 1900. Remsen served as postmaster until April 2, 1895, when he was succeeded by J.C. Starr, a Cherokee and son of Hickory Starr and Emma J. Rider. The 1890s were a prelude to major change in Indian Territory. The United States had forced the Cherokee Nation to sell "The Strip", the land that ran along the top of the territory and was leased to cattlemen. The long-awaited Strip payment, or the Starr Roll, came in 1894.

Human nature, then like now, had caused many Cherokees to spend the money before they got it. The crowds attending the payment included merchants and others waiting to get their payment for goods already purchased. Julia Remsen and two daughters, Josephine R. and Alvia, are listed on the Starr Roll. Julia signed for $797.10. About the same time, the Remsen's oldest daughter, Rebecca, but always known as Bessie, and J.B. Broaddus, a young man who had a dray business in town, decided to get married. Bessie was 14 years old, and her parents reacted as could be expected. No way. The couple ran off.

Remsen brought them back, then put Bessie in a school in Kansas. When Remsen discovered that Broaddus knew where Bessie was, she was brought back to the Remsen home and kept under close control. J.B. kept track of the situation and waited for an opportunity. One day Bessie was going down the hill to the spring for water. J.B. drove up; Bessie hopped in, and the couple were off. They eventually returned home and set up housekeeping.

This story was recorded by Lula D. Jones, published in Heritage of the Hills, and used with permission of the Delaware County Historical Society. The Remsens had five girls, only two of them lived to be adults. Remsen recorded the children on a form for the Bureau of Pensions. He listed: Catherine Remsen born in November 1875. Dead Rebecca J. Remsen born June 12, 1880. Living. This is Bessie. Alvie M. Remsen born June 24, 1884. Living Effie May Remsen born August 27, 1889. Dead Grace E. Remsen born November 11, 1895.

The Dawes Commission was already working in Indian Territory, charged by Congress with allotting the land to individual Indians and closing down the tribal governments.The Commission began recording Cherokee families in 1900. The commission traveled with typewriters and clerks and interviewed applicants. Tredwell appeared to enroll himself, Julia, and Alvie. He was questioned about his eligibility, claimed through his marriage to Julia. Which whites, adopted Cherokee citizens by marriage to Cherokees under Cherokee law, would be placed on the Dawes Roll and receive land allotments became a matter for the federal courts.

In 1906, the court ruled that in accordance with Cherokee law, the marriage had to have occurred before Nov. 1, 1875. Persons whose cases were approved by this decision were called back before the Dawes Commission to confirm that they were qualified. Tredwell had his date with a commissioner. He answered that he and Julia were married "the 6th of February 1875." But Tredwell didn't have the license. "The license was lost or burned 7 or 8 years ago."

Tredwell presents a family Bible showing the marriage was performed by T.J. McGhee, judge of the Delaware District. Witnesses are T.J. McGhee and Rebecca Monroe. Remsen was told he had to have evidence of the marriage license. He was then asked, "Have you and your wife lived together continuously as husband and wife, in the Cherokee Nation, from the time of your marriage in 1875 up to and including the present time?" Remsen answered, "Yes, sir." "Are you still living together? A. No, sir. "When did you separate? A. October 5, 1905."

Further questions reveal that Julia has divorced Tredwell without telling him, and that they are both still living in the home with their daughter and her family. Tredwell says this: "She was about 17 years old, and I took her on east and showed her all my folks out in New York, after we were married, a few years afterward." The commissioner told Tredwell to present more evidence of the marriage. So Remsen got affidavits or testimony from everyone he could round up. James E. Harlin says he issued the license and received and recorded it. His wife, Nancy, testifies to the license and that when the couple came back from being married by T.J. McGhee, she gave them their wedding dinner.

Remsen was put on the Dawes Roll. This license which couldn't be found in 1907 is now on file in the Grove Public Library. Tredwell Remsen's health was declining. He had worked to found a community, for schools, for churches, but he no longer could carry on. The pension that had begun as $2 in 1865 and gone up slowly over the years was $50 a month when he died. Bessie took care of both her parents' in their final days. Remsen died Jan. 16, 1922. The headline on his obituary was "Capt. T.S. Remsen Founder of Grove Dies." The obituary said services were held at Buzzard Cemetery, presumably the Buzzard Springs Cemetery now under water. Julia Remsen died Feb. 6, 1922. The headline was "A Good Woman Called." The article stated, "She is now resting beside her late husband. . ."

The gravestone in Olympus Cemetery has the names of both and the words "Father" and "Mother". Bessie had yet another shock when B.J. died suddenly March 26. She was left a widow with three surviving children. An article accompanying B.J.'s obituary noted that he had bought the bell in the Methodist Church where it had tolled for B.J.'s services. Bessie died March 13, 1937, survived by daughters Mrs. Tom Nichols and Mrs. Percy Wood, and son Grady.

Alva Vandergriff returned to Grove before Feb. 5, 1931, when she married G.W. Rutherford. She died March 2, 1943. She was survived by a son, Tokio Vandergriff. Both Bessie and Alva are buried in Olympus. Claude Hanna, in one of his columns, said he remembered Cap Remsen. Claude described a 4th of July when Remsen and George M. Ward were parading down the street, arms around each other and a big U.S. flag draped over their shoulders. "They were both veterans of the Union Army," Hanna wrote. He got it wrong. George M. Ward served in General Stand Watie's Confederate Brigade. Just two old soldiers.

A popular tourist destination, the public garden showcases a number of plant collections, such as rhododendrons, evergreen trees, dogwoods, daylilies, Japanese maples and hostas.
Many visitors are drawn to the Angel of Hope statue at Lendonwood, which provides a beautiful memorial to lost loved ones. In addition, a large Japanese pavilion overlooks a scenic pond with koi fish.
Lendonwood is a non-profit organization operated by a Board of Directors made up of volunteers from the Grand Lake area.

A Matter of Faith...

By Carol Round

Who Are You?
“Once you had no identity as a people; now you are God’s people. Once you received no mercy; now you have received God’s mercy.” 1 Peter 2:10 (NLT)

“Dead man may have been illegal”

This newspaper headline, and the story that followed, have haunted me since I read it. The story, about a man who was found dead after falling from a train, first ran when the body was discovered without any identification. The follow-up story in the local paper revealed the man’s name. According to officials, the man fit the profile of an illegal immigrant. However, none of the details had been confirmed at the time.

Two things struck me about this story. When the body was discovered, there was nothing to confirm the man’s identity. Second, at this writing, his family had not been found. Unconfirmed identity. Missing family.

Several weeks ago, our pastor’s sermon focused on 1 Peter 2:1-10. He opened his sermon with the following question: How would you describe yourself? Most of us, our pastor said, would immediately answer that question with our vocation: doctor, lawyer, nurse, teacher or another profession.

Six years ago, I began struggling with an important question—who am I? I could identify myself as Carol Round, high school teacher. I could also identify with the following: wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend.

However, when I was 47-years-old, my life changed dramatically. I could no longer claim the identity of wife. About the same time, my nest became empty, and although I was still a mother, and always will be, my role changed.

Three years later, I faced more changes. In the same year I became a grandmother, I also lost my mother. The following year, I retired from teaching after 30 years in the same school system. I had a major identity crisis.

When I looked in the mirror, I saw a difference in my skin and my hair color—a few more tiny wrinkles and a few more grey hairs. However, the changes I saw reflected in the mirror did not reveal my inner turmoil.

I was discussing my “identity crisis” with a friend. I said, “Who am I, Linda?” However, before she could reply, I answered my own question. “I know who I am. I am a child of God.”

What about the unidentified man who fell from the train? Where had he been? What was his destination? Did he have a family?

Authorities may never know the answer to all of these questions. However, when I learned his name, I was captivated. His first name was Jesus. This reminded me of another man named Jesus.
Jesus of Nazareth identified himself as more than a remarkable teacher or prophet. He proclaimed that He was God, making His identity the focal point of His teaching. The all-important question He put to His followers was, “Who do you say I am?”
When I began to identify myself as a child of the most high God, I was no longer lost. I know who I am and I know where I’m going. Do you?

Smallmouth Bass Efforts Launched

Long-time Grand Lake Fishing Guide Ivan Martin and a number of other Grand Lake sport fishing enthusiasts are spearheading an online petition drive to encourage the Oklahoma Wildlife Department to stock Northeast Oklahoma's Grand Lake O' The Cherokees with Smallmouth Bass."A lot of us local fishermen would like for the state wildlife department to stock Smallmouth Bass in Grand Lake," said Martin. "Most all of the other lakes in Northeast Oklahoma have been stocked with them and the fish are doing great. Eufaula has had eight pounders caught! Grand would be a great lake for smallies," he added.The petition may be read and electronically "signed" at: http://grandfishingreport.com/smallmouthpetition.htmMartin also voiced concerns about the stocking of hybrids in Grand, stating, "The wildlife department says they want to stock a huge number of hybrids, but from what I see at other lakes that have too many hybrids, they hurt the other fishing. Give us Smallmouth Bass, that, from what I have been told, do not hurt the existing fish populations in a lake." "I urge all of my fellow guides and fishing fans to read and sign the petition. If they have a web site, please link to GrandFishingReport.com or directly to the petition page and urge their site visitors to read and sign the petition too," he concluded.

GRDA Sets "One Third Cove Rule" Meetings

The Grand River Dam Authority is announcing it has scheduled two public meetings to gather input on the current “one-third cove rule” concerning docks on GRDA lakes. The present rule states a dock cannot extend more than one-third of the distance across the cover to the nearest opposite shoreline.
GRDA will seek public comment as it considers whether to adopt a policy which will allow it to grant dock permits in unique situations where, although the dock extends more than one-third of the distance to the nearest opposite shoreline, a dock permit should be granted after taking into consideration public safety, access, topography and navigational concerns. This policy would modify the existing one-third cove rule.
The public meetings are scheduled for the following dates, at the specific times and locations:
Wednesday, May 30, 2007 at 6 PM at the Grove Community Center.
Thursday, May 31, 2007 at 6 PM at Ketchum High school.

GRDA's Rush for Brush Successful

Sam Ziara, a member of the GRDA Ecosystems Management Department (left) and professional bass fisherman Terry Butcher inspect the artificial fish habitats constructed by GRDA and volunteers during the first annual "Rush For Brush" event at Snowdale State Park on May 11. GRDA has also scheduled "Rush For Brush" events for June 1-2 at Basshaven on Lake Hudson and on June 8-9 at the area between the spillways on Grand Lake (east of Disney).

Phase one of the Grand River Dam Authority’s first annual “Rush for Brush” has been successful according to Brent Davis, GRDA’s Fisheries Coordinator.
There were a total of 96 habitats deployed in Lake Hudson and 261 at Grand Lake. GRDA supplied the materials to build the brush habitats. The artificial structures provide ideal cover for smaller fish to grow and enhance the fishery.
“Our plan is to put out a total of 250 for Hudson and 500 for Grand,” said Davis. “We know these habitats are successful because of the results that we have had at W.R. Holway Reservoir. The ones that we put out there are all holding fish and not just one type, but all species use it.”
The second phase includes two more workshops to be held in June. Area anglers are encouraged to attend one of these “Build-a-Brush” Workshops. Team Eco will be at Basshaven on Lake Hudson on June 1-2 and at the area between the spillways on Grand Lake (east of Disney) on June 8-9.
The habitats will be built on Friday between 10 AM - 6 PM and deployed on Saturday, 12 PM - 6 PM.
“The fishermen who help build them can place them in the lake at their favorite fishing spot. That will help them increase their future catches,” said Davis.
The artificial habitats should not have to be replaced according to Davis and the fish will use it year round if it’s put in deep enough water.
“All we need is some fishing enthusiasts to come and lend a hand on this project that can greatly benefit the lakes.”

Third Annual Shoreline Cleanup is June 9

Attention Grand Lake lovers, the time has come for the 3rd annual shoreline clean-up on Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees. Since the recent rise of the lake level from upstream flooding trash and styrofoam have washed up along the shoreline.
Concerned? Here’s what you can do… pick a spot along the 1300 miles of shoreline along Lady Grand on Saturday, June 9th and pick up the trash. This is the 3rd year the Grand Lake Sail & Power Squadron has cleaned a few miles of shoreline. Denise Winn, Environmental Chairman of the Squadron stated that the litter removed each year is entirely the result of human activities and comes in all forms. We remove plastic and styrofoam cups, aluminum cans, bottles, broken glass, discarded fishing line, forgotten jug lines, plastics bags, old coolers, bait buckets, styrofoam, paint cans, plastic oil containers, disposable diapers, feminine products, cans, and various other items. Our lake is not a dumping ground, yet year in and year out a few people keep using it as just that.
This years shoreline clean-up is the perfect opportunity for school groups community groups, families, and concerned individuals to get involved and be an environmental steward for a day. It provides a chance to be a part of the activity that has a real measurable effect on Grand Lake. The clean-up is more that just collecting trash but it is an opportunity for the communities around the lake to get involved and work together to create a clean lake for all of us to enjoy. You don’t have to belong to a club or organizations to get involved, simply grab a few trash bags and take a walk down the shoreline.
Litter is more than just an unsightly nuisance. Shoreline trash can degrade the water quality. Discarded items like paint cans and oil cans can leak dangerous chemicals into the water and plastic can release a number of toxins when it breaks down. Leached chemicals, algal growth, and PH changes all adversely affect the health of the many invertebrates and microscopic organisms that are so vital to the smooth running of an ecosystem.
Cigarette butts will take around a month to a month and a half to break down. The filters are made of a cellulose acetate which is a type of plastic that contains many toxic chemicals that are released into the environment as it decomposes.
Some of the most dangerous aquatic debris items are the plastic six-pack rings and monofilament fishing line. Entanglement occurs when fish, birds, and animals get caught in the trash or when trying to use pieces to build their nests or shelter. Entanglement can restrict movement, cause open sores, and in some cases strangle them.
Litter in our lake can also result in lost revenue for our lake-wide tourism industry. So for the health of our lake as well as our regional economy it is extremely important that everyone becomes involved in the shoreline clean-up. You might not be able to find anything really valuable but it’s just the good feeling that you get from doing something good.
The Grand Lake Sail & Power Squadron has seen the need and will engage on the 3rd annual shoreline clean-up June 9, 2007. The Squadron has chosen the popular beaching area of Patricia Island for their clean-up efforts this year and encourages other groups to pick an area as well.
Since styrofoam can float up in huge pieces it is important that you pull it up onto the bank to drain. Styrofoam doesn’t weigh much however, when full of water it can become very heavy. The locations for the styrofoam only disposal will be 8020 Hwy 59 N in front of Cedar Oaks Storage Units for the north end of the lake, Lakemont Shores Marina – 37609 S 540 Rd for the south and east side of the lake, and Baker’s Lake Ranch RV Park – 31625 S 4510 Rd east of Kahoots for the south and west side of the lake. These dumpsters will be available for styrofoam ONLY.
The green dumpsters around the lake are available for you to throw away the shoreline trash you collect. If you have large items that have washed up on your shoreline, please take them to the larger dump sites. The limbs and logs are NOT part of the clean-up… only litter.
Please help in this important endeavor for our “Grand” Lake. Grand Lake’s 3rd Annual clean-up is sponsored by the Grand Lake Sail & Power Squadron, Grand River Dam Authority, and Keep Oklahoma Beautiful. If you would like to take part in the clean-up and have any questions, please contact Denise Winn at (918) 791-9337 or kdwinn@gcinet.net for more information.
