Sen. fed Fisher said the company, that
has scattered offices and warehouses in
Tulsa, will centralize and relocate to
Bristow
"They're going to open in Bristow
with 100 employees and will increase to
500 employees in the next live years.
Fisher said.
The jobs coming to Bristow arc not
low pav ing. Fisher said. "These aren t
minimum wage jobs."
The Bristow News reported that First
Wave President I d Clark said the con-
struction on the new facility will begin
w ithin three months and it will he com-
plete by next summer.
This is good news for Bristow, which
is losing manufacturing company
Quikset. a large employ er for the town.
"It's a spirited boost for the commu-
nity." Fisher said. "They worked hard to
get (First Wave) here."
The plant will cost about $7 million.

Fditors Note: Phis is the
second ol two stories looking ill
vandalism and trash in
Sapulpa's parks.
By M YITHLVN BROADDl S
Herald Managing Editor
With city layoffs last year,
the Sapulpa Parks Department
was faced with some tough de-
cisions.
Limited funding and an al-
ready tight budget forced them
to cut programs and ree center
hours to make up the shortfall.
But with all the cuts, it is still
hard to stomach more than
$8,300 a y ear being spent clean-
ing up trash and thousands
more being spent to repair van-
dalism in Sapulpa's city parks
John W ay tula, director ol
Sapulpa Parks and Recreation,
said two employees work hall a
day Fridays and most of the day
Mondays to clean up Sapulpa's
parks More time is needed if
extra garbage is present.
Way tula said that the Parks
Department \dopt A-Park pro-
gram offers citizens a chance to
keep their parks beautiful.
"The Sapulpa Parks and
Recreation Department invites
vou. vour neighbors and associ-
ates to participate in our
Adopt A-Park Program."
Wavtula wrote. "We are asking
tor your ideas, your enthusiasm,
and your support for Sapulpa's
park system.
"It's your chance to become
part of a team to help beautifv
vour community.” he said.
He said Sapulpa Rotary has
adopted Liberty Park, but their
are no other groups that have
made long-term commitments
Several groups have gone in
and cleaned parks as service
projects on a one-time-basis.
He said residents can partici-
pate bv selecting a park site,
boulevard. Bower bed or medi-
an.
"A person doesn't have to
adopt a whole park. ' he said.
"They can do one (Tower bed."
He said they had flowers do-
nated and planted at Kelly Lane
Park, hut their is no one to
maintain the beds.
"Talk to your friends and
neighbors to get their opinions
and their commitments on a
specific project." he said.
"Then, call the Sapulpa Parks
and Recreation Department at
227-5151."
He said he will sit down with
volunteers to work out the de-
tails on each \dopt-A-Park
project.
"Perhaps your group will
elect to water newly planted
trees, trim the grass, or plant
and maintain a color bed.” he
said.
Wavtula said Sapulpa will
receive all of the plants used at
the 2005 Greater Tulsa Home
and Garden Show, about
$20,000 worth of plants and
flowers.
“We are working with
Sherman Grubb and the folks at
the OSl Lxtension Office to
find volunteers to help move,
store and plant the plant'." he
said We have been so aggres-
sive m improvement' but it we
can't maintain them they he
come an eye-sore "
