The churches ot the Mounds Ministerial
Alliance will celebrate 50 years ot meeting
together to worship at pre-Faster services
beginning March 21
The pre-Easter services began in 1955
when the five churches then in Mounds held
a full week of revival services This eventu-
ally led to 12 churches joining in two weeks

sidered too big a number and the alliance-
separated into two alliances, one ot church
es east of the Okmulgee Beeline, or
Highway 75. and one west ot the Beeline.

It's an unofficial club ot
Sapulpa that meets every morning
at the Daylight Donut shop
The “members" are met when
they walk through the door with
the men already sitting at the table-
saving loudly “There he is "
Their table is actually three ta
bles pushed together w ith two large
coffee dispensers set on it w ith two
more dispensers full and ready bv
the codec machine
The club" is actually a group ot
mostly retired men who meet in tin-
morning to talk about anything and
everything
"We usually try to avoid things
like politics, hut we get hung up on
it from time to time." said Pete
Egan
I heir conversations could also
be called gossip.
"Men are just as hail as women
at gossiping." Egan said
"It's like women in a beauty
shop." said Tim Hershberger
T he 20-plus men that are in their
mid 50s and up come regularly to
talk about everything from what
businesses are coming to town,
their problems with the city and
one of ihe men's upcoming mar-
riage.
"We solve the problems of
Sapulpa right here at this table,"
said Bill Erwin.

Oklahoma Senate
passes workers'
comp bill
By Li kl KNGAN
( \lll Vcn \ Service
OKLAHOMA CITY
Workers' compensation reform,
legalized tattoos and income tax
cuts ride on measures that ad
vanced Wednesday at the Capitol
Oklahomans who attempt to
defraud the workers' compensa
tion system would face s'tnctci
penalties under a bill that passed
the state Senate.
Either party could require me-
diation under Senate Bill K46,
which also reduces the medical
fee schedule to address rising
medical costs
But House Speaker [odd Hiett
called on the Senate to pass a
OOP backed workers' comp bill,
touting its focus on attorney costs
rather than health expenses
Senate Republican Leader
Glenn Coffee. R Oklahoma (Tty.
opposed the Senate measure, call-
ing it a "watered-down" reform
effort. Republican senators unani-
mously opposed the bill's passage
Wednesday
House Bill 204b would cut
costs at least three times over the
savings in the Democrat-support-
ed plan, said Sen. Scott Pruitt. R
Broken Arrow.
Permanent income tax cuts
would come under a bill that
passed the House 100 to I.
T he measure, by Rep Kevin
Calvey, R Del City, would make-
permanent Gov. Brad Henry’s tax
cut. N il 1547 calls for a 0 4 per
cent tax cut for members of the
top income tax bracket, dropping
the rate to 6.25 percent.
And House members voted to
extend a subsidy to ship poultry
litter away from watersheds
where the waste is causing pollu-
tion.
The measure by Rep. John
Auffet, D-Stilwell, gives buyers
of poultry litter $5 for each ton
they buy and ship. The incentive
is capped at $375,000 per year
Auffet’s bill would extend the
subsidy’s sunset by three years,
expiring it in 2008.
The House passage came near
the time Attorney General Drew
Edmondson filed his intent to sue
some poultry companies over the
water pollution.
Oklahoma would become the
50th state to allow and regulate
tattoos, under a bill that passed
the state Senate 30 to 15
