There’s a horseshoe hanging over the entrance of Wolverine Stadium and no one seems to know anything about it! No one seems to know how or who put it there or when it was put there! There is speculation that the horseshoe was placed there when the stadium was completed in 1941. Folklore and traditions contribute the hanging of a horseshoe over the threshold of a building will bring “Good Luck” ! The folklore can be traced to the Saxons who believed hanging a horseshoe over a threshold would ban witches and demons from entering.

Holdenville General Hospital (HGH) reported positive financial results for April, indicating a strong month for the hospital. In recognition of its efforts to support the Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI), HGH received the prestigious 23 Star Award for being a valuable partner and significantly increasing the number of blood donors. This achievement was made possible through the dedicated work of HGH staff members Trisha Phillips and Jamie Vazquez. The May Blood Drive was notably successful, helping OBI meet the required number of blood units to supply hospitals across Oklahoma. Every blood donation has the potential to save lives, emphasizing the importance of these drives.

As a man, I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me “Privileged,” a racist & responsible for slavery. I am a fiscal & moral conservative, which by today’s standards, makes me a fascist because I plan, budget & support myself.

I grew up on my family’s farm outside of the little town of Tribbey Oklahoma in Southern Pottawatomie County. From the time I was old enough to hold a shovel I worked alongside my father and grandfather at our family-owned business drilling water wells and installing water systems. When we weren’t off working, we spent our time on the farm raising cattle and bailing hay. I am thankful for the time I spent working with my father and grandfather, because it showed me what you can accomplish with a good work ethic.

Hi handsome. My name is Rose.

To the Mayor, City Manager of Holdenville, and Editor of the Holdenville News: May 8, 2024 Gentlemen, there are two issues that are of concern with regard to the Holdenville Airport Board. First, conflicts of interest and second, control of financial obligations.

The Holdenville Airport Board is pleased to provide the Federal Fiscal Year 2024-2028 Five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), which contains critically needed airport improvement projects for the Holdenville Municipal Airport.
