The War on Normal and Why it Matters

Body
Given the level of insanity erupting at all levels in America, it wasn’t really a shock when the huge, multinational corporation Unilever announced in early March that it was pulling the word “normal” from at least half of its products.

Why We’re Voting for Lynda DeShields

Body
Lynda DeShield’s honesty and integrity are well known in this community. Lynda moved to Holdenville in 1977 and purchased her salon, Hair Hut in 1978. For over 50 years Lynda has owned and operated a successful business. Lynda recalls first moving here and seeing every building on Main Street and beyond full of business and industry. She remembers the people were kind and seemed to try to work together for the city. It seems that much of that has changed today. There is a small group of people who criticize every city official for every decision they make. They blame every problem on the city government and work to tear the citizens and the city council apart. Lynda’s vision is to repair that relationship once again.

She showed the officer the footage from their security camera which showed a male wearing a red hoodie riding a bicycle on the sidewalk up N. Hinckley. The individual left the camera frame for a short period of time then came back into view, riding up the ramp of the Corner Clinic close to the building where he proceeded to throw a brick through a window. The suspect was spotted later that day riding his bicycle close to the scene of the crime wearing a blue shirt, grey bandana on his head, and had blond hair and facial hair.
