The new facility will be
given to the EDC at no cost,
said Elkins. Currently, the
EDC rents an office in down-
town Chickasha ai the Cham

a year.
Elkins said rent, utilities,
internet access and the ability
to utilize worldwide research

will be available to the EDC
free of cost.
Dr. John Feaver, president
of USAO said moves like this
are a trend he's seen in uni-

St. Luke's Episcopal Church will
be celebrating 120 years in Chick-
asha this October. The church will
celebrate its birthday with events
throughout the year.
St. Lukes will be undergoing
renovations this year, including a
new sign which will note the ser-
vice times, contact information
and lettering cabinet to inform
public of upcoming events. New
doors adorned with shields, new
approve this message."
The letters were intercepted
before reaching the White House or
Senate. The FBI said Wednesday
that more testing was underway.
Preliminary field tests can often
show false positives for ricin.
As authorities scurried to investi-
gate three questionable packages
discovered in Senate office build-
ings, reports of suspicious items
also came in from at least three
senators' offices in their home
states.
Sen. Carl Levin said a staff mem-
ber at his Saginaw, Mich., office
would spend the night in a hospital
curtains, landscaping and a new
handicap rail will be among the
renovations.
Dennis Smith, of Oklahoma
State University, will be giving a
seminar over the relationship
between art and religion at 6:30 on
May 14 in the church sanctuary.
The church hopes to have a series
of events such as this.
Because St. Luke was a physi-
cian, the church will be honoring
first responders, medics, police
and firefighters in an upcoming

In a capital city on edge, letters
sent to President Barack Obama
and a Mississippi senator tested
positive for poisonous ricin in pre-
liminary checks, and authorities
chased a stream of false alarms
about seemingly suspicious pack-
ages and mail sent to senators in
Washington and beyond.
Authorities still waited for defin-
itive tests on the letters to Obama
and Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss.,
which had raised concern Wednes-
day at a time when many people
were jittery after the Boston bomb-
ings.
An FBI intelligence bulletin
obtained by The Associated Press
said those two letters were post-
marked Memphis, Tenn. Both let-
ters said: "To see a wrong and not
expose it, is to become a silent

Student interns will also be
available for use, said Feaver.
"That sort of work is not
easily done off campus," he
said. "There's always an out
ofsight. out of mind
approach."
Feaver said he has heard
some animosity in regards to
the move, but he doesn't
believe the critics fully
understand the nature of the
change.
"I understand why some
would want to keep the EDC
in downtown," he said. "I am
a major supporter of down-
town development and I think
this will enhance the commu-

St. Luke's has undergone two
renovations, one in 1930, which
added the front entrance as well as
a section to the church, and anoth-
er in 1950. However, the outward
appearance remains much the
same as when it was originally
built, a 1982 article in the Chicka-
sha Daily Express notes.
More about these events and the
history of St. Luke's Episcopal
Church will be covered in upcom-
ing issues of The Express-Star.

port with (heir mission to
associate themselves with
their respective communities
and economic development
commissioners," he said.
In addition to free access to
the aforementioned utilities.
Feaver said the move will
also allow the EDC to utilize
faculty experts on campus.
"We are about to hire a
third economist," he said.
"Those three will be avail-
able to the EDC. We have a
sociologist who grew up in
North Dakota, so he has a
good understanding of soci-
ology surrounding oil. All of
these people will be accessi-
ble to the EDC."
The Chickasha Economic
Development Council will
take up residence at the Uni-
vcsity in SUICIICC and An in
Oklahoma starting in June.
The move will give the
EDC access to intensive
research materials, which
will aid the council's mission
in growing Chickasha's eco-
nomic community, Christy
Elkins, president and CEO of
the Chickasha EDC said.
"The mission will be the
same as it has always been,"
Elkins said. "We will work to
make Chickasha the best it
nities capacity for such devel-
opment."
Renovations to USAO's
Robertson Hall will feed into
this change as well.
Feaver said the intent is to
make the building a center
for community and economic
development.
"We plan to move all of the
colleagues associated with
economic development into
that building as well, so that
those skills involved with
marketing can be used with
USAO and the Chickasha
Community," said Feaver.
The move is slated to take
place in early June.
