Sites added to register
Four sites in Ottawa County were added to the
Oklahoma State Register of Historic Places
That designation nominates the sites for inclusion
on the National Register of Historic Places State Rep
Larry D Roberts said
The original Miami-Afton 9-foot-wide section of
Route 66 Roadbed the Miami Marathon Oil Company
Service Station the Cities Service Station in Afton
and Horse Creek Bridge on State Highway 66 were
among 22 sites in Oklahoma added to the state histor-
ic rolls Roberts said
"Not only does this bring recognition to Ottawa
County it helps to ensure that these historic sites will
be preserved for future generations" the lawmaker
said "It might also mean certain federal investment
tax credits for rehabilitation and other provision if
these sites are included on the National Register"
"The requirements for the state and national register
are basically th6 same" Deputy State Historic Preser-
vation Officer Melvena Heisch said "The site must be
associated with an important event or person or have
a unique architectural design"
Listing in the National Register does not mean limi-
tations will be placed on the properties by the federal
government Further public visitation rights are not re-
quired of the owners she said

'Indian
host to
A new doctor has taken up resi-
dency at the Seneca-Cayuga Indian
Health Clinic
Dr Paul K Fuhrmeister is a
board certified Family Practice
physician who specializes in Ob-
stetrics and Gynecology
He is replacing Dr James
Moore who retired last February
Dr Moore had served as a physi-
cian with the clinic since it opened
it's doors in 1978
"We were very lucky to get a
physician of Dr Fuhrmeisters cali-
ber" stated Facility Director Ted
Bearden "We tried long and hard
to get him"
"This is a nice town to work in
the people that we take care of are
nice and friendly and they make
me feel very welcome" remarked
Dr Fuhrmeister
Dr Fuhrmeister was raised in
Lansing Mich and received his
degree from the University of Con-
necticut School of Medicine He
spent his first year after graduation
at the Embangweni Hospital in
Malawi Central Africa as the
Medical Officer in Charge of the
77-bed Presbyterian Church-
sponsored facility
"The main difference between
working here and in Africa is the
people here have much more re-
sources to work with They have
enough money to afford to have
food medication and houses where
as in Africa it was very hard Many
of the people had no food no
clothes and no transportation" Dr
Fuhrmeister said that many of the
African people had to walk many
miles barefoot to seek medical
treatment
He added that there is a lack of
clean water and proper sanitation
"The sanitation here in the US
makes it so that things like malaria
and tuberculosis are a lot less com-
mon" He said that there were a lot of
sick and dying people in Africa
"People would come to the hospi-
tal that were desparately ill there
was a lot of death A lot of the peo-
ple in the smaller villages would
just die there because there was no
way for them to get to the hospi-
tal" He said that for some it was a
100 mile walk to the hospital and
that it was too far for them to leave
their families and their crops
Treatment for the African peo-
ple was limited "It was mostly
frustrating because we didn't have
any specialized medication It was

harder to know what was wrong
with people" He said that there
were occassions where they would
know what was wrong but there
was no way of treatment
Dr Fuhrmeister added "People
are very lucky here"
After returning from Africa he

tor at an Indian Health Service fa-
